Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of cognitive impairment in older people. With the aging of society is more and more serious, AD caused great burden to patients and society. A β is a classical biomarker of AD, which has been widely used in clinical diagnosis of AD patients. Compared with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), near infrared fluorescence imaging has many advantages including highly sensitive, non-invasive, safety and inexpensive. Therefore, many research groups have focused on developing the molecular probes of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging. In this article, we will review the progress of the probes of NIRF.

Objective To assess the level of radiation exposures of operators in three typical types of interventional fluoroscopic procedures.Methods Alderson Radiation Therapy (ART) phantom was used to stimulate the practices of diagnosis and therapy using TLDs for dose measurement.The radiation exposures of eye lens, neck, and breast were measured when the lead shielding of machine was on/off and the equivalent dose and effective dose to the eye lens were estimated.Results Radiation exposure of head was obviously reduced by 85% -90% when the lead shielding was on.The doses in different procedures were different.In cerebral angiography the dose equivalent of eye len was the highest in the three procedures.The annual effective dose for the operators was smaller in peripheral vascular interventions than that in cardiovascular interventional therapy and that in cerebral angiography.Conclusions The operators involved in intervention will receive an annual effective dose of less than 20 mSv as recommended by the ICRP under the protection conditions provided by the current study, except for eye lens.Attention should be paid to the protection of the eyes of operators.

Objective To construct and express human papillomavirus type 11(HPV11) E7 gene with recombinant adenovirus vectors. Methods HPV11 E7 gene was amplified by PCR and directionally cloned into vector pENTR-TOPO to form TOPO-E7 plasmid. E7 gene was transferred into the pAD/CMV/V5-DESTTM gateway vector by LR recombination reaction with pAD/CMV/V5-DESTTM gateway vectors and TOPO-E7 plasmid. The recombination vector was digested by Pac I enzyme and transfected into 293A cell by Lipofectamine method to obtain recombinant adenovirus vectors pAD-E7. Expression of E7 on HaCaT cells infected with pAD-E7 vectors was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Results The recombinant plasmid TOPO-E7 was identified and confirmed with enzyme digestion and sequencing. Recombinant adenovirus vectors pAD-E7 were generated efficiently with a titer of 1.4 ? 107 pfu/mL in transfected 293A cells. E7 protein could be identified in HaCaT cells with confocal microscope 48 h after infected with recombinant adenovirus vector. Conclusions The results indicate efficient expression of HPV11 E7 gene in eukaryotic cells by recombinant adenovirus mediated transfer, which facilitates further research of its function.

Objective To make a preliminary evaluation of the degradation of AZ31 bioabsorbable magnesium alloy stent implanted in the abdominal aorta of experimental rabbits.Methods Twelve AZ31 biodegradable magnesium alloy stents were separately deployed in the infrarenal abdominal aortas of twelve New Zealand white rabbits.Every three experimental rabbits were sacrificed each time at one,two,three and four months after the procedure of stenting.The stenting segment of the aortas were harvested,radiographod and sent for pathologic examination to observe the degradable performance of the stent.Results All animals survived form the operation in the scheduled follow-up period.Radiographically and pathologically,the stents were fully expanded with perfect shape one month after the procedure,and part of the stent struts began to be degraded and fractured in two months,resulting in the loss of its supporting function.Three months after the implantation most stents were corroded.and in four months all the stents become completely destroyed.The estimating time for producing complete degradation of AZ31 magnesium alloy stents in rabbit's aorta was 104.5 days.Conclusion AZ31 bioabsorbable magnesium alloy stents implanted in rabbit abdominal aorta will lose their radial force in two months.How to prolong the functioning time of the implanted stents is the next research target.

Objective:To summarize the clinical experience of using V-shaped incision to excise scalp subcutaneous tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with subcutaneous benign tumors admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the Northern Theater General Hospital from August 2020 to December 2021 was conducted. The tumors were all above 3 cm in diameter and closely adhered to surrounding tissues, and all were removed using a V-shaped incision. During the operation, the scalp was incised along the design line, the V-shaped skin flap was lifted to affiliate the tumor removed. The incision was closed directly from the tip of "V" until the moderate tension attained. The scalp flap was spread smoothly on the wound surface, and the excess scalp tissue was removed to form a Y-shaped suture. The flap survival, complications, incision scar, hair growth around the incision and tumor recurrence were observed and followed up after operation.Results:A total of 20 cases were included, including 12 males and 8 females, with an average medical history of (3.6±1.9) years and a tumor diameter of (4.1±1.1) cm. There were 8 sebaceous cysts, 5 lipomas, and 7 epidermoid cysts. After operation, 18 flaps survived well, and 2 cases had epidermal necrosis at the tip of the flap, which healed after dressing change. During the follow-up period of 6-12 months, 3 patients experienced local scalp numbness, which improved within 3-6 months. In 20 cases, the scalp was flat, the incision scar was not hyperplastic, the scar was short visually, the surrounding hair grew normally, and no tumor recurrence happened.Conclusion:V-shaped incision is relatively easy to expose the tumor and can accurately remove excess skin. After operation, the scalp has a good flat appearance, so it is an ideal choice for large scalp subcutaneous tumors with close adhesion to the surrounding tissue.

Objective To explore the effects of continuous nursing on postoperative urinary incontinence in patients with prostate cancer, so as to provide clinical evidence to improve the quality of postoperative and extended nursing care.Methods A total of 120 patients with prostate cancer underwent radical prostatectomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2016 to January 2017, who met the inclusion criteria were recruited in the research. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by sortition randomization method, with 60 cases in each. The patients in control group were given routine discharge health education, and the experimental group received continuous nursing on the basis of routine discharge nursing. Three months after discharge, the incidence, duration, frequency and quantity of urinary incontinence in the two groups were recorded by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICI-Q-SF). A self-designed prostate cancer postoperative-related knowledge questionnaire, which evaluated the patients understanding prostate cancer care, was completed by the patients of the two groups. A self-designed satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate and compare the satisfaction of the two groups of patients to the quality of nursing.Results The incidence rate and the duration of postoperative urinary continence in the experimental group [16.7％,(4.1±2.8) d] were significantly lower than those in the control group (χ2=9.076,t=-2.630;P<0.05). After 3 months of discharge, the score of related knowledge and the satisfaction of nursing work in the experimental group were both higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions Continuous nursing care for discharged patients after prostatectomy can enhance patients' knowledge of disease, effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative incontinence, reduce urinary incontinence duration, and improve patients' satisfaction with nursing quality.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of complications following minimal invasive subcutaneous internal fixator (INFIX) for the treatment of anterior pelvic ring instability, and to analyze control measures. Methods: Data of 42 patients with anterior pelvic ring instability who were treated by anterior subcutaneous internal fixation in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 females and 27 males with an average age of 45.4 years (range, 18-67 years). There were 26 traffic injuries, 10 falling injuries, 3 crush injuries and 3 low energy injuries. According to Tile classification, 24 cases of B2 type, 16 cases of B3 type, 1 case of C1 type and 1 case of C2 type. According to Young-Burgess classification, there were 20 cases of LCI, 18 cases of LCII, 1 case of LCIII, 1 case of APCI, 1 case of APCII, and 1 case of VS. Fourteen cases were combined with limb fractures, and 11 cases were combined with thoracic or abdominal injuries requiring surgical treatment, while 16 cases were with brain injuries. For type APC2, LC1, and some LC2 fractures, fixation for the anterior pelvic ring is enough with INFIX technique alone. For some LC2, LC3, or VS fractures, the anterior and posterior ring were both fixed. Postoperative reduction was evaluated by Matta radiological criteria. Lateral thigh numbness and pain, quadriceps muscle power were recorded during follow-up, and clinical efficacy was evaluated by Majeed score at 6 months after operation. Results: All the 42 patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, with an average of 9.3 months. Matta standard evaluation for fracture reduction showed that 28 cases were excellent, 14 cases good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. The early complication rate (within 3 month after operation) was 23.8% (10/42) including 6 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury and 2 cases of femoral nerve injury. The symptoms were obviously relieved after the treatment of nutrient nerve and hyperbaric oxygen; 1 case had incision infection which was healed after anti-infection therapy and internal plant removal; 1 case suffered from superior gluteal artery injury which was controlled by pressure hemostasis. Six months after surgery, no case had lost reduction. At 6 months follow-up, the Majeed score was 72-96, with an average of 84.96, of which 32 were excellent and 10 were good, thus the excellent and good rate was 100% (42/42). Conclusion INFIX is an effective internal fixation method for the treatment of unstable anterior pelvic ring injury. However, it has a high rate of early complications, among which nerve injury has the highest incidence.
