Objective To explore and evaluate the total oxidative and antioxidant status and lipid levels in patients with COPD. Methods Measurement and comparative analysis were preformed between 51 cases of COPD patients and 45 healthy people in serum TOS,TAS,IMA concentration,blood lipid,and the concentration of ox-LDL. Results In the COPD group,serum IMA concentration was significantly higher than those in the control group(0.94 ± 0.31 vs. 0.62 ± 0.25,P<0.001). The serum TOS was higher than that in the control group(6.51 ± 4.85 vs. 4.53 ± 3.81,P<0.05). The serum ox-LDL concentration in COPD group increased significantly compared with the control group(5.91 ± 3.61 vs. 4.51 ± 2.05,P<0.05). The serum HDL concentration in the COPD group was significantly lower than that in the control group(36.49 ± 9.60 vs. 44.19 ± 10.14,P<0.001). There was no sig-nificant difference in TAS,triglyceride and low LDL between the two groups. Conclusions The serum levels of TOS,ox-LDL and IMA are significantly increased in COPD patients compared with the control group,while HDL-C concentration is significantly decreased. Increase of IMA and ox-LDL in serum of patients with COPD may be relat-ed to imbalance of TOS and TAS due to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.

Objective To discuss the significance of serum IgE before and after inhale glucocorticoid treat-ment of children's asthma. Methods 520 children with asthma were seleceted from the outpatient. Different type of fluticasone propionate were given to different age groups: Aerosol type by a spacer in less than 5 years old,and in-halant (Seretide) 5 years and the above. The dosage was between 200 μg/day to 375 μg/day. IgE was tested before and 3 months after the treatment. Results Serum IgE decreased significantly in 3 months treatment [ from (496.12±24.75) kU/L to (390.71±18.71) kU/L] (t=7.337,P<0.01). The change of IgE was related to clinical effect and age. The level increased in those less than 3 years [(307.05±34.71)kU/L vs (483.09±41.78) kU/L] (t=2.963,P=0.004),but decreased between 4 to 5 years old group [(543.46±51.03) kU/L vs (316.93±29.30) kU/L] (t=3.368,P=0.000) ,and decreased between 6 to 14 years old group[ (586.30±37.19)kU/L vs (387.61±27.60) kU/L] (t=4.827,P=0.000). In fluticasone group IgE level changed from (468.91±32.81) kU/L to (359.03±22.79) kU/L after treatment (t=5.988,P<0.01),which decreased from (586.30±37.19) kU/L to (387.6±27.60) kU/L in Salmeterol group (t=4.827,P<0.01). In 260 cases of IgE below 300 kU/L 109 cases (41.92%,109/260) increased while in 260 cases of IgE above 300 kU/L,total IgE lev-el increased in 45 cases (16.15% ,45/260) after treatment,with statistical significance(χ<'2>=37.789,P=0.000). Conclusion Inhale glucocorticoid can make the level of IgE decreased.

Objective To explore the effect on prognosis of attenuated plaque (AP)in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods This study was a prospective study which included 225 ACS patients who admitted to the cardiology and met the conditions between January 2009 and December 2011.Clinical data,intravascular ultrasound characteristics of plaque, blood flow in coronary angiography and cardiovascular complications within 30 days after PCI were recorded.The main form of follow-up was telephone follow-up,supplemented by patient follow-up and out-patient follow-up.Endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate.The survival difference between the two groups was compared using the Log-Rank test.Results Extravascular elastic membrane area (EEMA),plaque area (PA),plaque burden,remodeling index in AP group were significantly increased than those in non-AP group.Corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC)immediately after the balloon dilatation was significantly higher in AP group than in non-AP group. Recent overall complications were more frequently documented in AP group than in non-AP group,but long-term follow-up outcome of MACE-free survival curves showed no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions Recent prognosis,not long-term prognosis,is affected by attenuated plaque in ACS patients after PCI,which help to stratify risk further and guide treatment in ACS patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and missed diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of prostate (IDC-P) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:The preoperative PSA, prostate MRI, bone scans and lung CT of all patients who underwent prostate biopsy in Department of Urology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2018 to July 2020 were reviewed. A total of 261 patients with high suspicion of metastatic prostate cancer were screened for inclusion. Two full-time senior pathologists of urogenital tumors in Xiangya Hospital independently reviewed their pathological sections and detected IDC-P according to the 2016 WHO tumor classification. Diagnostic criteria are defined as malignant epithelial cells filling large acini and prostatic ducts, with preservation of basal cells and solid or dense cribriform pattern/loose cribriform or micropapillary pattern with either marked nuclear atypia or non-focal comedonecrosis.Results:The detection rate of IDC-P was 29.12%(76/261), while the actual reporting rate was only 9.96%(26/261). The results of subgroup analysis including age, PSA level, Gleason score as well as different metastatic sites showed that detection rate of IDC-P was 33.69% in the PSA≥50 ng/ml subgroup, much higher than 17.57% in the PSA <50 ng/ml subgroup ( P=0.0039); And it was 32.33% in the Gleason score ≥ 8 subgroup, much higher than 3.45% in the Gleason score < 8 subgroup ( P<0.01). It was not significantly different in different age subgroups as well as different metastatic site subgroups. These data suggest that PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml as well as Gleason score ≥ 8 may be risk factors of IDC-P.157 samples were stained by immunohistochemistry. The detection rates of IDC-P were 84.21% (16/19) in P63 (+ ) samples, 36.00% (9/25) in ERG (+ ) samples. There were 3 samples with both P63 (+ ) and ERG (+ ), all of which had IDC-P. Conclusions:There is misdiagnosis of IDC-P on prostate needle biopsy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer currently. PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml and Gleason score ≥ 8 are risk factors of IDC-P. Thus, attention should be paid to the possibility of IDC-P in such patients. When the diagnosis is difficult, immunohistochemical staining for ERG and P63 is helpful in IDC-P determination.

Objective:To investigate the early clinical effects of home-based mobile health intervention on knee joint function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods:This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction alone at the Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2019 to December 2019 were elected in the trial. Patients were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to random number method. The control group only received the guidance of the traditional paper rehabilitation schedule, while the intervention group also received personalized guidance of electronic rehabilitation prescription and follow-up notice delivered by a WeChat Mini Program Rehabilitation Cloud Platform in addition to the traditional guidance. Joint range of motion (ROM), visual analogue scale (VAS) and thigh circumference difference were assessed before and after the operation. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of data between groups, and chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data. Results:One hundred and twenty five patients were enrolled in the trial, including 99 males and 26 females, with an average age of 29.0 years (range:18 to 45 years) and an average body mass index of 24.8 kg/m 2 (range:15.8 to 36.6 kg/m 2). At 6 weeks, follow-up was available in 106 cases the target-reach rate of ROM in control group was 42.6%(23/54), which was 67.3%(35/52) in the intervention group, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=6.53, P=0.01); VAS of the intervention group was 2.5(2.0), lower than that of the control group 3.0(2.0)( M( Q R)), the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.06, P=0.04); And the thigh circumference difference of the intervention group was 2.0(2.0)cm lower than that of the control group 3.0(1.8)cm, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.00, P<0.01). Conclusion:Mobile health intervention can improve the early postoperative rehabilitation effect after ACL construction and the ROM of the knee joint, and reduce the bent-knee pain along with the thigh circumference difference.

OBJECTIVE We used Al lergic Rhinitis Control Test (ARCT) questionnaire to evaluate the control level of allergic rhinitis, in order to get the data of prevalence rate, epidemiological characters and risk factors of uncontrolled allergic rhinitis. METHODS Patients with AR were recruited from our department and the treatment based on the Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma(ARIA) guidelines. Telephone interview will be taken after 2 weeks in these patients, compared to symptoms, impact on quality of life, ARCT value before and after treatment. RESULTS Among 134 patients enrolled, moderate/severe AR account for 95%. After 2 weeks of treatment, both symptom and quality of life were marked improvement(P <0.001). Patients with uncontrolled AR(26.1%) at day 15 more frequently presented higher height and weight(P <0.001), history of ear, nose, and throat(ENT) infection or antibiotics intake for respiratory infection in the last 12 months (40.4% versus 62.9%, P =0.022), smoking (4.0% versus 17.1%, P =0.02), and smell disturbance (10.1% versus 25.7%, P =0.044). CONCLUSION Most of AR patients have remarkable improvements in symptom and quality of life after treatment, but 26.1% of patients still remain uncontrolled. Smoking and nose infection are risk factors of uncontrolled AR.

Objective To explore the pathogenic roles of miR-21, estrogen (E2), and estrogen receptor (ER) in adenomyosis. Methods We examined the expression levels of miR-21 in specimens of adenomyotic tissue and benign cervical lesions using qRT-PCR. In primary cultures of cells isolated from the adenomyosis lesions, the effect of ICI82780 (an ER inhibitor) on miR-21 expression levels prior to E2 activation or after E2 deprivation were examined with qRT-PCR. We further assessed the effects of a miR-21 mimic or an inhibitor on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and autophagy of the cells. Results The expression level of miR-21 was significantly higher in adenomyosis tissues than in normal myometrium (P<0.05). In the cells isolated from adenomyosis lesions, miR-21 expression level was significantly higher in E2 activation group than in ER inhibition+E2 activation group and the control group (P<0.05);miR-21 expression level was significantly lower in cells in E2 deprivation+ER inhibition group than in E2 deprivation group and the control group (P<0.05). The adenomyosis cells transfected with miR-21 inhibitor showed inhibited proliferation and migration, expansion of mitochondrial endoplasmic reticulum, increased lysosomes, presence of autophagosomes, and increased cell apoptosis, while transfection of the cells with the miR-21 mimic produced the opposite effects. Conclusion MiR-21 plays an important role in promoting proliferation, migration, and anti-apoptosis in adenomyosis cells by altering the cell ultrastructure, which may contribute to early pathogenesis of the disease. In addition to binding with E2, ER can also regulate miR-21 through other pathways to participate in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis, thus having a stronger regulatory effect on miR-21 than E2.
