Objective To study the effect of cold and heat treatment on metastasis and the peripheral blood immune response in patients with breast cancer. Methods A total of 124 breast cancer patients were randomly di-vided into a hot and cold therapy group and a control group, each of 62. Both groups were given conventional surgical resections, and the hot and cold therapy group was given cooling and heating physical therapy for one month before the operation. The efficacy of the treatment and the patients′ spiritual state were compared after the treatment. The effect on lung metastases was evaluated using tomographic images of the chest, and the changes in immune cell levels in the peripheral blood were detected using flow cytometry. Results After the treatment, the remission rate (54.8%), spiritual life ratings on the Karnofsky scale and the area of lung cancer nodule transfer were significantly better in the hot and cold therapy group than in the control group. Twelve weeks after the treatment, the percentage of MDSCs in the control group patients was 72.5%, significantly higher than the 5.3% of the therapy group. The CD4+and CD8+ T cells were 2.2% and 1.8%, significantly lower than the 26.7% and 13.9% of the control group. Con-clusion Cold and hot therapy before a mastectomy can effectively inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer and promote patients′physical rehabilitation and spiritual life. It may regulate the microenvironment of their immunosuppression and stimulate antitumor immunity.

Objective To evaluate the pelvic floor function in post-hysterectomy patients. Methods Transperineal pelvic ultrasound was used to observe the pelvic organs in post- hysterectomy patients, and parameters of pelvic floor were measured. Taking the inferior margin of public symphysis as the reference plane,the shape and motion of the proximal urethra and bladder neck were observed at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver. Bladder neck-symphyseal distance(BSD) and retrovesical angle were measured. And the bladder neck descent(BND),urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck were also calculated. Interclass correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the consistency of data. Results At rest,the BSD and retrovesical angle were (-2.73±0.37)cm and (119.00±22.40)°, while on maximum Valsalva maneuver was (-0.25±0.67)cm and (114.74±21.50)°,respectively. BND was (2.46±0.59)cm,the urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was (70.68±19.91)° and (60.81±17.34) °,respectively. Combined with pelvic ultrasound and clinical manifestations,29 cases of pelvic floor dysfunction after hysterectomy were diagnosed (58.00%, 5 cases of stress urinary incontinence, 8 cases of proctoptoma and 16 cases of bladder prolapse). The consistency was very high in measuring BNS, retrovesical angle at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver and BND by different observers. The interclass coefficient was 0.90,0.89,0.91,0.88,0.92,respectively. And the interclass coefficient of urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was 0.79, 0.88,respectively. These results showed a good interobserver agreement. Conclusion Transperineal pelvic ultrasound is a simple,reproducible and noninvasive imaging method, which can reveal the position and function of female pelvic organ dynamically and evaluate postoperative pelvic floor function.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between serum markers and liver fat content predicted by hepatorenal ratio in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods A total of 120 T2DM patients were recruited from January 2011 to September 2012 in the Affi liated Hospital of Qingdao University. The sagittal liver-right kidney diagrams of the patients were obtained by two-dimensional ultrasonic examination, and the hepatorenal ratio were analyzed by NIHimage. Then, the related serum markers were tested 24 hours later. The relationship between hepatorenal ratio and serum markers was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation on the patients of T2DM. Then, the affective factors on the hepatorenal ratio were analysed by multivariate linear regression analysis, with hepatorenal ratio as dependent variable, and the concentration of triglyceride (TG,X1) , total cholesterol (TC,X2), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C,X3), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C,X4), alanine aminotransferase (ALT,X5), aspartateaminotransferase (AST,X6), glutamyltransferase (γ-GT,X7) , and alkaline phosphatase (ALP,X8) as independent variables. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to diagnose the point of the hepatorenal ratio when the TG began to increase (>1.92 mmol/L).Results There was positive correlation between hepatorenal ratio and TG, AST, ALT,γ-GT (r=0.420,P=0.000;r=0.383,P=0.000;r=0.309,P=0.001;r=0.253,P=0.005), while no correlation between hepatorenal ratio and glycosylated hemoglobin, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, ALP or blood uric acid (BUA) (r=0.0.067,P=0.368;r=0.145,P=0.115;r=?-0.148,P=0.106;r=0.002,P=0.986;r=0.160,P=0.081;r=0.064,P=0.489) were found; the linear regression analysis showed that TG level (X1) was the only markers which had correlation with hepatorenal ratio in the T2MD patients with the regression equation ofY=1.245+0.062X. The ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value for hepatorenal ratio to in diagnosinge increased TG (>1.92 mmol/L) was 1.236 in T2DM patients, and the area under the curve was 0.677. The sensitivity and specifi city were 86.7% and 45.3% respectively. Conclusions Hepatorenal ratio can be a reliable indicator to predict liver fat content, which has correlation with TG, ALT, AST andγ-GT. The increased TG level can refl ect the increasing fat content in the liver, and TG begin to increase when the hepatorenal ratio reach 1.236.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that estrogens may exert multifaceted effects on the cardiovascular system via activating the classical nuclear receptors ERα or ERβ and the novel G protein coupled estrogen receptor (Gper). However, some studies have reported inconsistent cardiovascular phenotypes in Gper-deficient mice. The current study was aimed to reveal the effects of genetic deletion of Gper on the arterial blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate in rats. Gper-deficient Sprague-Dawley rats were generated by utilizing the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technique. ABP of 10-week old male (n = 6) and 12-week old female (n = 6) Gper-deficient rats and age-matched wild type (WT) rats (6 females and 6 males) were measured under awake and restrained conditions through the non-invasive tail-cuff method daily for 8 (females) or 9 days (males). In the male WT rats, ABP and heart rate were slightly higher in day 1 to 4 than those in day 5 to 9, indicative of stress-related sympathoexcitation in the first few days and gradual adaptation to the restrained stress in later days. Gper-deficient rats had significantly higher ABP initially (male: day 1 to day 5; female: day 1 to day 3) and similar ABP in later days of measurement compared with the WT rats. The heart rate of male Gper-deficient rats was consistently higher than that of the male WT rats from day 1 to day 8. Both male and female Gper-deficient rats appeared to show slower body weight gain than the WT counterparts during the study period. Under anesthesia, ABP of Gper-deficient rats was not significantly different from their WT counterparts. These results indicate that Gper-deficient rats may be more sensitive to stress-induced sympathoexcitation and highlight the importance of Gper in the regulation of the cardiovascular function in stressful conditions.
