BACKGROUND: At present, most of the literature on joint replacement focus on the causes and countermeasures of long-term complications, but seldom focuses on causes of postoperative short-term complications, such as wound exudation and delayed union. Whether the incidence of sustained exudation and delayed wound healing in patients with hypertension after hip replacement is higher than that in patients with normal blood pressure is not reported at present.OBJECTIVE: To identify the correlation of hypertension with persistent wound exudation and delayed wound healing in patients after femoral head replacement.METHODS: Data of 205 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent femoral head replacement. In accordance with the hypertension diagnostic criteria of 2010 Chinese Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension, patients were divided into hypertension group and control group.Intraoperative blood loss, postoperative blood loss, the days of prolonged wound exudation, the wound dehiscence, and the prevalence of delayed wound healing were compared between the two groups. Then, we analyzed the relationship of hypertension with wound exudation and delayed wound healing.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The average systolic blood pressures were 153.55 mmHg and 128.82 mmHg in the hypertension and control groups, respectively (P < 0.05). (2) No significant difference in age, gender, MNA-SF score, diabetes, body mass index, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative blood loss was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). (3) The time of persistent wound exudation was 4.03 days and 2.08 days in the hypertension group and control group, respectively (P < 0.05). (4) The prevalence of delayed wound healing was significantly higher in the hypertension group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (5) Hypertensive patients had a higher risk of prolonged wound exudation and delayed healing than their normotensive counterparts, and the hypertension is one of the important influence factors for delayed wound healing.

Objective To explore the roles of p53 in ionizing radiation induced MCF-7 cell cycle uncoupling. Methods The p53 knock-down models was established in MCF-7 with retrovirus packaged particles from 293T cells through calcium acid phosphate co-precipitation, then Western blot was used to detect the protein expression. Flow cytometry(FCM) was used to analyze the cell cycle uncoupling and polyploid after irradiation. Results Compared with p53+/+ group, the percentages of G0/G1 cells in p53 -/- group decreased, while those of S and G2+M increased (P < 0.01). In polyploidy analysis 2N cells decreased, whereas both 4N and 8N cells =increased (P<0.01). Compared with sham-irradiation, 4 Gy X-ray led to the decrease of G0/G1, S cells, and the increase of G2+M cells. The increase of 2N cells and decrease of 4N and 8N cells were observed in both p53+/+ and p53-/- cells. Compared with p53+/+ +IR group, the decrease of G0/G1 and S cells and the increase of C2 + M cells were significant (P < 0.01) in p53-/-+ IR groups. 2N cells decreased, 4N cells increased, but no changes in 8 N cells occurred. Conclusion Radiation might induce G2 arrest and cycle uncoupling, p53 plays a role in the regulation of G2 arrest, but no role in cycle uncoupling.

Objective To explore the predictive value of ventricle late potential (LP) for arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome. Methods Totally 43 patients with Brugada syndrome were divided into symptom group (n=24) and asymptom group (n=19).Signalaveraged electrocardiography(SAECG) was performed to analyze characteristics of LP in all subjects.The occurrence of arrhythmic events was observed in all patients during the dynamic follow-up for (33.8±9.0) months.Results There were 22 cases (91.7％) and 7 cases (36.8％) with LP positive in patients with symptom and asymptom,respectively.The incidences of arrhythmic events were 72.4％ in Brugada syndrome patients with positive LP and 14.3％ in patients with negative LP,respectively.The relative risk (RR,95％ CI) for LP prediction of the arrhythmic events was [5.1,(1.4～ 18.6)] (P =0.002). ConclusionsLP may be one of effective factors predicting arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome.

Objective:To detect the expression of MYBL2 gene in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and its effects on cell proliferation and invasion. Methods:A total of 100 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and 100 cases of paracancerous tissue were selected from patients who received surgery in The People's Hospital of Yuhuan between January 2017 and December 2020. Gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines MGC-803 were transfected with MYBL2 siRNA and siRNA control. The cells not transfected were used as controls. MYBL2 gene expression in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and paracancerous tissue as well as MGC-803 were determined by quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction. MGC-803 cell proliferation was determined by MTT. The invasive ability of MGC-803 cells was determined by Transwell assay. The migration ability of MGC-803 cells was determined by Scratch testing. MYBL2 protein expression in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue and paracancerous tissue as well as MGC-803 cells was determined by western blotting. Results:The relative mRNA expression of MYBL2 in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissue [(0.65 ± 0.17) vs. (0.18 ± 0.05), t = 26.52, P < 0.05). The relative mRNA expression of MYBL2 in the MYBL2 siRNA group (0.29 ± 0.07) was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.73 ± 0.12) and siRNA group (0.71 ± 0.16, t = 5.48, 4.16, both P < 0.05). MTT assay showed that after 24 and 48 hours of culture, MGC-803 cell proliferation rate in the MYBL2 siRNA group [(40.95 ± 5.46)%, (52.12 ± 12.27)%] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(67.84 ± 6.45)%, (87.83 ± 9.96)%] and siRNA group [(66.98 ± 7.85)%, (85.98 ± 10.24)%, t = 5.51, 3.91, 4.71, 3.67, all P < 0.05]. MGC-803 cell invasion rate in the MYBL2 siRNA group [ (62.12 ± 6.43)%] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(89.74 ± 6.56)%] and siRNA group [(88.83 ± 7.85)%, t = 5.20, 4.55, both P < 0.05]. The number of MGC-803 cells migrated in the MYBL2 siRNA group [(4.32 ± 0.84) × 10 3] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(8.95 ± 1.64) × 10 3] and siRNA group [(8.83 ± 1.78) × 10 3, t = 4.35, 3.96, both P < 0.05]. The gray value of MYBL2 protein in the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue was (0.56 ± 0.15), which was significantly higher than that in the paracancerous tissue [(0.23 ± 0.07), t = 19.93, P < 0.001]. The gray value of MYBL2 protein in the MYBL2 siRNA group was (0.21 ± 0.03), which was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.67 ± 0.15) and siRNA group (0.65 ± 0.19) ( t = 5.20, 3.96, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:MYBL2 gene is highly expressed in gastric adenocarcinoma tissue. siRNA silencing MYBL2 can decrease the ability of MGC-803 cells to proliferate, invade and migrate and downregulate MYBL2 expression. This study is highly innovative and scientific.

T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif domain (TIGIT) is a newly discovered immune checkpoint molecule, mainly expressed on the surface of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. By binding to cluster of differentiation 155 (CD155) and other ligands, it inhibits T cell and NK cell-mediated immune responses and affects the tumor microenvironment. Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated that the TIGIT/CD155 pathway plays a role in a variety of solid and hematological tumors. Clinical trials investigating TIGIT inhibitors alone or in combination with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors for lung cancer are currently underway.

Treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can achieve good disease control, but it will inevitably produce drug resistance. About 3%-10% of the resistance mechanism is small cell transformation. Two cases of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation were reported and the disease was controlled after EGFR-TKIs treatment. In case 1, progression-free survival (PFS) before small cell carcinoma transformation was 16 months, and in case 2, PFS before small cell carcinoma transformation was 24 months. Subsequent biopsy after disease progression indicated a shift to small cell lung cancer. Case 1 PFS after small cell carcinoma transformation was 6 months, and case 2 PFS after small cell carcinoma transformation was 8 months, and overall survival (OS) was 36 months, which significantly prolonged the patient's survival. At the same time, the literature of such drug resistance mutations was reviewed. For patients with advanced NSCLC with sensitive mutations, it is necessary to conduct secondary histopathological tests after TKIs treatment resistance, and select subsequent treatment according to different resistance mechanisms for the whole course of disease management.

Objective:To investigate epidemiological characteristics and macrolide-resistance of hospitalized children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infections in Beijing from 2016 to 2019, so as to provide basis for the prevention and treatment of pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively from 8 691 children hospitalized with community acquired pneumonia in Beijing Children′s Hospital between January 2016 and September 2019.MP RNA was detected by simultaneous amplification and testing (SAT), and macrolide resistance of MP was examined by MP and macrolide-resistant isolate diagnostic kit (PCR with fluorescence probes). Chi- square test was used for categorical analysis. Results:Among 8 691 cases detected by SAT, the overall detection rate of MP was 28.10% (2 442/8 691 cases). The detection rates of MP from 2016 to 2019 were 26.23%, 31.36%, 27.84 % and 26.57%, respectively.The detection rate of MP in 2017 was significantly higher than that in other years ( χ2=16.11, P<0.05). The detection rate of MP in females was 29.65%(1 107/3 733 cases), which was evidently higher than that in males 26.93%(1 335/4 958 cases) ( χ2=7.85, P<0.05). The positive rates of MP in summer[32.21% (726/2 254 cases)] and autumn[39.76%(852/2 143 cases)] were significantly higher than those in spring[17.00% (327/1 924 cases)] and winter[22.66%(537/2 370 cases)] ( χ2=315.15, P<0.001). The percentages of MP were 35.06%(732/2 088 cases) in preschoolers and 37.71%(1 160/3 076 cases) in school-age children, which were significantly higher than 11.20%(232/2 072 cases) in infants and 22.01% (318/1 445 cases) in toddlers ( χ2=509.89, P<0.001). Macrolide resistance detection was conducted in 1 524 patients by fluorescent PCR.Among them, 1 386 patients were positive for drug resistance, and the positive rate was 90.94%.The prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP from 2016 to 2019 were 88.19%, 90.93%, 90.56% and 92.90%, respectively.Macrolide-resistant rates were not related with gender, age and season. Conclusions:MP can be detected in all seasons, but most prevalently in summer and autumn.Girls are more prone to MP infections than boys.The detection rate of MP increases with age, and the positive rate is higher in preschoolers and school-age children.During the 4-year study period, the drug resistant rate of MP remain high.

Synthetic lethality is a proven effective antitumor strategy that has attracted great attention. Large-scale screening has revealed many synthetic lethal genetic phenotypes, and relevant small-molecule drugs have also been implemented in clinical practice. Increasing evidence suggests that CDKs, constituting a kinase family predominantly involved in cell cycle control, are synthetic lethal factors when combined with certain oncogenes, such as
