Objective To estimate the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) combined with conventional treatment on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods Literature on randomized control trials( RCTs) with AECOPD treated by LMWH combined with conventional methods was collected in PubMed.The studies were selected according to inclusive and exclusive criteria.The data were extracted,the quality was assessed, and meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.2 software.Results There were twelve RCTs including 879 patients with AECOPD in the current study.The results of meta-analysis showed that:①LMWH could obviously improve PaO2 and PaCO2 of patients with AECOPD as compared with the control group.②There was no statistically significant difference between the LMWH-treated group and control group in the improvement of FEV1 or hematocrit.Conclusion LMWH can significantly improve arterial blood gas analysis in AECOPD, but does not improve FEV1 or hematocrit.

Objective To investigate the effect of treadmill running pretreatment on the expression of CyclinA and CyclinE protein in hippocampus of rats after global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.Meth-ods 60 healthy male wister rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and experiment group.Global cerebral ischemia reperfusion model was generated by improved four-vessel occlusion as de-scribed according to the description of Pulsinelli's method.Rats in the experiment group were performed treadmill running for 2 weeks before injury.The water maze test was performed at 24 h and 48 h respectively after injury to determine the spatial memory ability of rats.Morphological changes of hippocampus were ob-served by HE staining ( hematoxylin-eosin staining) at 3 h,6 h,24 h,48 h after injury and the expression of CyclinA and CyclinE were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with control group,the survival rate of neurons in the model group was significantly decreased at each time point.Morris water maze test showed that the escaping latency of rats in the model group was significantly prolonged( 24 h (24.35±3.99)s,48 h(33.08±5.85)s),and the frequency of crossing the platform was decreased(24 h(6.80 ±0.79),48 h(4.00±0.67)).The expression of CyclinA was increased significantly in the model group ((8.40±0.52)/high view,(11.70±1.06)/high view,(15.50±0.53)/high view,(22.40±0.52)/high view) as well as the expression of CyclinE((20.30±0.48)/high view,(15.20±0.63)/high view,(10.00± 0.82)/high view,(7.70±0.68)/high view) (P<0.05).Compared with model group,the survival rate of neurons in the model group was significantly increased at each time point.Morris water maze test showed that the escaping latency of rats in the experiment group was significantly shorten(24 h(13.21±2.73) s,48 h (24.20±4.66)s),and the frequency of crossing the platform was increased(24 h(9.70±0.95),48 h(6.30± 1.16)).The expression of CyclinA was significantly increased in the model group((10.60±0.84)/high view),(16.70± 0.68)/high view),(24.50±0.53)/high view),(36.20±1.40)/high view) as well as the expression of CyclinE((31.60 ±0.70)/high view),(24.50±0.70)/high view),(16.80±0.63)/high view),(9.10±0.74)/high view) (P<0.05).Con-clusion The treadmill running pretreatment improves the function of spatial memory after global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion,potenlially mediated by regulating the expression for cell cycle proteins,which have a protective effect on cerebral brain tissue.

Objective To investigate the value of rosuvastatin in alleviating early inflammatory reaction and in preventing early recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation treatment. Methods A total of 84 patients with persistent AF who had received catheter ablation were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly and equally divided into group A (n = 42, study group) and group B (n = 42, control group). Rosuvastatin therapy (10 mg/d, 42 patients) was employed in the patients of group A, while no medication was used in the patients of group B. One month after the ablation treatment, the serum lipid level, hs-CRP and IL-6, as well as the recurrence rate of all kinds of arrhythmia were determined. The preoperative and postoperative levels of inflammatory markers were also determined, the results were compared between the two groups, and its correlation with the early recurrence of AF was evaluated. Results One month after the ablation treatment, the levels of inflammatory markers, including hs-CRP and IL-6, in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, as well as lower than those determined before treatment, while in the control group the serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels became significantly higher than the preoperative ones. Sinus rhythm was successfully maintained in 29 cases (69%) of the study group and in 25 cases (59.5%) of the control group, while the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.362). The patients of the study group were further divided into non-recurrence sub-group (n = 29) and recurrence sub-group (n = 13). The reduction in inflammatory marker level in the non-recurrence sub-group was greater than that in the recurrence sub-group although the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion There is remarkable inflammatory reactions during the early period after catheter ablation. Rosuvastatin can effectively relieve the degree of inflammatory reaction, although it has only a slight effect in reducing the early recurrence rate after catheter ablation of AF. The greater the inflammatory markers levels are reduced, the lower the recurrence rate of AF will be, although the difference is not statistically significant.

Objective To analyze the investigation data of the national schistosomiasis surveillance sites in 2015,so as to provide scientific evidences for schistosomiasis control,elimination and surveillance. Methods According to National Schisto-somiasis Surveillance Programme(version 2014),457 surveillance sites were selected,and the investigation data in residents, floating population,domestic animals and Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected and analyzed from four types of endemic counties. Results A total of 4468 seropositive cases were detected from 133350 residents,among which 4457 residents with seropositive results received the etiological tests,and 71 of them were identified with positive results. Most of them were fisher-men and farmers in the middle and old-aged group. The schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.05% in local population. Totally 977 seropositive cases were examined from 85047 migrant individuals,and 16 positive cases were found out from 966 individuals who took etiological tests,which showed the schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.02% in floating population. Imported cases were found among floating people in four provinces,namely Zhejiang,Hunan,Hubei and Anhui provinces. No acute schistoso-miasis cases were reported. A total of 13406 head of cattle received examinations and only 5 were determined as stool positives. The cattle infection rate was 0.04%. The snail survey covered an area of 22295.13 hm2 and snails were found in an area of 7426.63 hm2,including 3.47 hm2 newly detected area with snails. No schistosome-infected snails were found. Conclusions Based on the collected data from 457 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of China,the Schistosoma japonicum infection rate is 0.05% in local population which maintains a stably descending trend. In floating population,there are imported schistosome-in-fected persons. Cattle are still a vulnerable species infected with schistosome. Although no infected snails are found,snails are widely distributed in endemic areas. Some provinces detect areas with snails for the first time or the reproduction of snails. The staff in endemic provinces should carry out the surveillance work according to National Schistosomiasis Surveillance Programme (version2014)to improve the surveillance system,and enhance the sensibility and effectiveness of surveillance work.

BACKGROUND:During ordinary plate fixation, the soft tissues around the fracture of the proximal humerus are nearly stripped to impact blood supply, and moreover, an ordinary steel plate cannot meet with the fixed requirements for severe osteoporosis, large bone defects and comminuted fractures. OBJECTIVE: To observe the functional recovery and complications in middle-aged patients with proximal humeral fractures undergoing stainless steel locking plate implantation. METHODS:From March 2011 to March 2014, 48 patients with proximal humeral fractures were treated in the 306th RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 48 patients were folowed up for 6-17 years, and the mean healing time was (15.3±1.2) weeks. At the last folow-up, the Neer scores were excelent in 12 cases, good in 22 cases, fair in 11 cases and poor in 3 cases, with an excelent-good rate of 71%. After internal fixation, there was one case of Hospital of PLA, including 20 males and 28 females, with an average age of 58 years. Of the 48 cases, there were 9 cases of Neer 2 fractures, 26 cases of Neer 3 fractures, and 13 cases of Neer 4 cases, al of which belonged to closed injuries. Al the patients were subject to locking plate implantation for repair of fractures of the proximal humerus, and evaluated based on Neer scores. soft tissue infection, two cases of traumatic arthritis, and no bone ununion and osteomyelitis. These findings suggest that the stainless steel locking plate implantation for repair of fractures of the proximal humerus can achieve a good anatomic reduction under minimaly invasive conditions and produce a stable rehabilitation environment for the soft tissue around the shoulder joint by internal fixation. Hence, the factures can recover faster with less complications. The stainless steel locking plate implantation can obtain good achievements in the repair of proximal humeral fractures of Neer 2, 3 as wel as Neer 4 in young patients with good bone quality.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the calcium phosphate cement (CPC) /calcium polyphosphate fiber (CPPF) composites mixed with different proportion of minimal morselized bone on repair of bone defect in vivo. MethodsA total of 36 New Zealand white rabbits were completely randomly designed into A, B, C, D groups and their bilateral radial bone defect model was prepared. The minimal morselized bone (300-500 μm in diameter) was made from the iliac of those rats. The CPPF and CPC were evenly mixed into CPC/CPPF composites which were divided into four groups in accordance with the CPPF weight O, 10％, 30％ and 50％ in CPC/CPPF composite. The CPC/CPPF composites of the four groups was mixed with the minimal morselized bone with ratio of 6:4 and then the mixture was implanted the bone defect of the rabbits in four groups. The gross, X-ray and histological observations were done at four and eight weeks. The biomechanical test was performed at eight weeks. Results When CPPF occupies 30％ of the CPC/CPPF composite, the maximum compressive load and bending loads were better than those in the other groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ), when the histological observation showed the most tight link between the artificial composite and the bone interface and the closest similarity between material degradation rate and the ossification rate, with the best osteogenesis and the optimal ratio.ConclusionThe repair of bone defect can attain the optimal outcome through adding a certain ratio of minimal morselized bone into the CPC/CPPF to adjust the degradation rate of composites.

To study the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PBDLBCL). Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 62 patients with PBDLBCL from January 2006 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for univariate analysis and the Cox regression model for multivari-ate analysis. Results: The 62 patients analyzed included women aged 26-71 years, with a median age of 47 years. Patients were fol-lowed up from 6 to 105 months; the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 71.0%, and 5-year OS rate was 51.0%. The univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in the clinical stage, lactic acid dehydrogenase level, International Prognostic Index score, Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression, and chemotherapy regimen at 3 and 5 years associated with OS rates. The multivariate analysis showed that Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression was an independent prognostic factor of OS. Conclusions: Comprehensive treatment with chemo-therapy and radiotherapy is appropriate for PBDLBCL. Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression is an independent adverse prognostic factor for PB-DLBCL.

Objective:To prepare a drug release system of drug-loaded cross-linked decellularized corneal stromal lenticules and evaluate its drug release characteristics in vitro. Methods:Lenticules were obtained during femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery in Chongqing Aier Ophthalmology Hospital.Decellularized corneal stromal lenticules were prepared using high concentration sodium chloride (NaCl) combining nuclease.The decellularized corneal stromal lenticules were randomly divided into normal group, 0.5% levofloxacin group, 3% levofloxacin group and 5% levofloxacin group, with 4 lenticules in each group.The lenticules did not receive any treatment in the normal group, and drug-loading those were soaked in different doses of levofloxacin solution for three hours according to grouping.In the crosslinking test, 12 decellularized corneal stromal lenticules were randomly divided into non-crosslinking group, 0.01 mmol 1-(3-dimethylamino) propylimine (EDC) group, 0.05 mmol EDC group and 0.25 mmol EDC group.The lenticules for cross-linking were soaked in different contents of mixed solution of EDC with N-hydroxysuccinyl (NHS) for four hours respectively according to grouping, and then in 3% levofloxacin solution for three hours.Only 3% levofloxacin solution soaking was carried in the non-crosslinking group.High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to detect the drug release concentration of the lenticules, and spectral scanning method was performed to measure light transittance of the lenticules.The surface ultrastructure of the decellularized lenticules among different cross-linking groups was examined and compared with scanning electron microscope.The use of the human corneal lenticules was approved by an Ethics Committee of Chongqing Aier Ophthalmology Hospital (No.2019012). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results:The release concentrations of decellularized corneal stroma lenticules were significantly different at 1 day, 7, 14, and 21 days among 0.5%, 3%, and 5% levofloxacin group ( P<0.05) or also among the 0.01 mmol EDC, 0.05 mmol EDC, and 0.25 mmol EDC cross-linked groups ( P<0.01). The drug release concentrations in 0.05 mmol EDC group were the highest at various time points, and the release time of the three cross-linked groups lasted until 21 days after release concentrations of decellularized corneal stroma lenticules.The drug release concentrations in cross-linked groups and non-crosslinking group were gradually declined with the prolong of drug-loading time, showing a significant difference at different time points ( P<0.05). The transmittance of the lenticules was (88.68±1.19)% and (91.55±1.16)% in the non-crosslinking group and normal group, respectively, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The average transmittance of the lenticules was significantly reduced in the drug-loaded groups compared with the normal group ( P<0.05). The smaller collagen fiber voids and closely arranged collagen fibers were displayed in the cross-linking groups under the scanning electron microscope with the best effect in the 0.25 mmol EDC group. Conclusions:EDC/NHS cross-linking can improve the drug-loading effect of decellularized corneal stromal lenticules probably by lessening collagen fiber voids.The drug-loaded cross-linked decellularized corneal stromal lenticules have a good drug release effect in vitro.

Objective To investigate the expressiorn of microRNA-622(miR-622) and dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) in colon cancer tissues and cell lines and explore the effect of miR-622 on SW11l6 cells migration and invasion.Methods Eighty-two colon cancer tissues and paired para-tumor tissue specimens were collected.C.olon cancer cell line SW1116,SW480 and normal human colon epithelial cell line NCM460 were cultured.MiR-622 was detected by using Real time PCR,DYRK2 expression was measured by using immunohistochemistry,Real time PCR anid Western blot in tissue level and cell level,respectively.The relation of miR-622 and DYRK2 was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.miR-622 mimics transfection was conducted to up-regulate miR-622,while negative control,NC group were transfected with control sequence.Expression of DYRK2 was evaluated by using Real time PCR and Western blot,while Transwell chamber assays were used to assess the migration ability changes.Results Real time PCR and Western blot results showed that miR-622 mRNA was highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissue and colon cancer cell SW1116,whereas DYRK2 mRNA and protein were lowly expressed when compared with paracancerous tissue and normal colonic epithelial cell line NCM460.An obvious negative correlation was showed between miR-622 and DYRK2(r=0.916,P＜0.01).Compared to NC group,DYRK2 mRNA and protein expression were down-regulated after transfection of miR-622 mimics,which was observerd through Real time PCR and Western blot(P＜0.01).Correspondingly,compared to NC group,the migration ability of SW116 was remarkably enhanced after transfection of miR-622 mimics(P＜0.01).Conclusion The expression of miR-622 is high and DYRK2 is low in colon cancer.Up-regulation of miR-622 could negatively regulate DYRK2 expression and promote SW1116 cells migration.
