Objective To investigate the expressions and relationships of human epididymal secretory protein 4 (HE4),osteopontin (OPN) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in endometrial carcinoma (EC) and analyze their clinical significance of detection and diagnosis in EC patients.Methods The expressions of HE4,OPN and uPA proteins in 30 cases of normal endometrium,50 cases of precancerous lesion endometrium and 171 cases of EC were detected by immunohistochemistry SP method.The relationships between HE4,OPN,uPA and clinicopathological features of EC,and the correlation of them were analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of HE4,OPN and uPA in the normal endometrium group,precancerous lesion endometrium group and EC group were 13.3%,32.0%,70.8%;10.0%,24.0%,63.7%;6.7%,22.0%,51.5%.The differences were statistically significant (x2 =46.36,P < 0.05;x2 =44.14,P < 0.05;x2 =28.10,P < 0.05).The expressions of HE4,OPN and uPA were correlated withpathological stage (x2 =4.644,P =0.031;x2 =5.780,P =0.016;x2 =28.920,P =0.000),histological grade (x2 =4.888,P =0.027;x2 =7.885,P =0.005;x2 =4.564,P =0.033),myometrial invasion depth (x2 =5.099,P =0.024;x2=5.139 P=0.023;=12.297,P=0.000) and lymph node metastasis (x2 =5.421,P=0.020;x24.093,P =0.043;x2 =5.362,P =0.021).In addition,the expression of HE4 was correlated with the histological type (x2 =4.437,P =0.035).HE4 expression was positively correlated with uPA expression (r =0.341,P =0.007).OPN expression was positively correlated with uPA expression (r =0.360,P =0.002).HE4 was positively correlated with OPN expression (r =0.454,P =0.000).Conclusion The expression rates of HE4,OPN and uPA in the EC group were higher than that in normal endometrium and precancerous lesions.They have obvious positive synergistic effect in the occurrence and development of EC.HE4,OPN and uPA are the effective indicators for clinical diagnosis of EC.
2.Postoperative tear dysfunction of LASIK and SMILE
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(9):847-850
Tear dysfunction was considered as abnormalities of tear film composition that include the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Recent studies indicated that altered tear composition caused dysfunction,accelerated death and detachment of the superficial epithelium,leading to an irregular corneal surface,an unstable tear layer and hyperesthesia of the corneal nerve endings.Symptoms of tear dysfunction after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) present in many patients.This review summarized the clinical characteristics of tear dysfunction in post-LASIK and post-SMILE patients,analyzed the potential mechanism of tear dysfunction and reasonable management.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between corrected Tp-e interval(Tp-ec), Tp-e/QT ratio and the degree of vein bridge vessel stenosis after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery stenosis, and its predictive value for malignant electrophysiological events.Methods:Patients admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2018 to August 2019 were selected, coronary angiography was performed 5-7 years after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) due to recurrence of symptoms. 169 patients with >50% restenosis in SVG were selected. According to the degree of bridge angiography stenosis, the patients were divided into group A(50%-70% SVG restenosis, 105 cases) and group B(SVG restenosis >70%, 64 cases), routine electrocardiogram examination, measurement and correction of QT interval(QTc), Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratio were made. Patients were followed up 6 months, the occurrence of malignant ECG events is observed, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic( ROC) curve( AUC) was used to quantitatively evaluate the predictive power of Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratios for malignant ECG events. Results:The QTc, Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratios in group B were significantly greater than those in group A, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). After multivariate logistic regression analysis, both the Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratios were independent influencing factors for the degree of vein bridge vessel stenosis>70%( P<0.05). After Pearson correlation analysis, both the Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratios were positively correlated with the degree of vein bridge vessel stenosis( r= 0.384 and 0.457, both P=0.000). A total of 162 cases(95.86%) were followed up, 25 cases of malignant electrophysiological events occurred. After ROC curve analysis, Tp-ec combined with Tp-e/QT ratio predicted coronary malignant electrophysiological events in patients with left main artery stenosis after GABG with AUC=0.924, which was significantly greater than 0.698 of the single index Tp-ec and 0.712 of the Tp-e/QT ratio, the differences were both statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusion:Tp-ec and Tp-e/QT ratios are both positively correlated with the degree of vein bridge vessel stenosis after CABG in patients with left main coronary artery stenosis, the combined effect of them in predicting the occurrence of malignant electrocardiological events is good, and it is worth further research and application.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of six-hole moxibustion box therapy for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD).Methods Sixty patients with thoracic facet joint disorder were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The control group inhaled tiotropium bromide inhalation powder spray and the treatment group received six-hole moxibustion box therapy in addition. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score and the dyspnea score were recorded and peripheral blood oxygen saturation was measured in the two groups before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were monitored in the two groups. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the CAT score and the dyspnea score in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the CAT score and the dyspnea score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in pre-/post- treatment CAT score difference value and dyspnea score difference value between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in peripheral blood oxygen saturation in the treatment group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in peripheral blood oxygen saturation between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Six-hole moxibustion box therapy plus tiotropium bromide inhalation powder spray is safe and effective in treating stable COPD.
