This article was aimed to evaluate clinical efficacy of the pulmonary rehabilitation health education guidance mode. The CAT assessment tool was used for evaluation of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) inpatients and outpatients in the Respiratory Department, Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xinjiang Medical University. A total of 80 stable COPD patients were randomized divided into the treatment group and control group. In the treatment group, stable COPD patients received pulmonary rehabilitation health education guidance. And then the quality of life was evaluated. The results showed that compared with the control group, after 48-week health education intervention, the CAT score and dyspnea index scale score of 40 patients in the treatment group were decreased with significant difference (P < 0.05). It was concluded that the guidance mode of pulmonary rehabilitation health education was conducive to improving the quality of life of pa-tients with COPD, decreasing the dyspnea index score, and improving exercise tolerance in patients to a certain extent. This pattern can be implemented in the optimization of future clinical practice and nursing.

Purpose To investigate the clinical and pathological features of inflammatory fibroid polyps ( IFPs) and to discuss its diag-nosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinicopathological data of 14 cases of IFPs were collected and analyzed retro-spectively. Results Most of the 14 cases were found to have submucosal polyps of the digestive tract protruding growing into the cavi-ty. Perivascular onion skinning which formed by spindle fibrocytes around vascular proliferation and eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates were present as the characteristic feature of lesions. ABC results demonstrated that the lesions showed fibroblastic, myofibroblastic and dendritic cell signs. Conclusions IFPs are rare, benign tumors that can arise throughout the digestive tract, with unique histological changes in pathology. Surgical excision or endoscopic removal is the main treatment.

The 53rd ASH meeting was held in San Diego in December 2011. The meeting has received many advanced reports on the diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).On therapy,with the application of thalidomide, lenalidomide and bortezomib as inductive treatments, the clinical outcomeshave been improved greatly in MM patients.Pomalidomide,a new immunomodulator,can be hopefully used as a frontline medicine for MM because of its high response. Bendamustine combination with other treatments induced efficient response and good response rates in MM patients with renal insufficiency or relapsed/refactory disease. Currently autologous stem cell transplantation is still the standard care for newly diagnosed young MM patients.At this time other kinds of novel agents have entered into clinical trials and have shown a bright future of application.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes and prognostic factors of distant metastasis in patients with advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Methods A total of 118 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO, 2009 version) stageⅡb-Ⅳa cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with CCRT between 2006 and 2010 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were analyzed. Their median age was 48 years (range, 23-70 years). FIGO stages were as follows:Ⅱb stage 56 cases,Ⅲa stage 6 cases,Ⅲb stage 52 cases, andⅣa stage 4 cases. Of the all patients, 55 cases showed bulkly tumor (tumor size>4 cm) and 35 cases were pelvic lymph node positive. Forty patients had pretreatment hemoglobin (Hb) levels no greater than 110 g/L. Patients with elevated squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) >1.5 μg/L before CCRT and at one month after CCRT were 91 cases and 34 cases, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival. For the analysis of prognostic factors affecting distant metastasis, log-rank test was used for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis. Results Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed with recurrence, 19 cases of whom developed distant metastasis, 13 cases developed loco-regional recurrence and 5 cases had both distant and loco-regional recurrence. The 5-year overall survival rates and distant disease-free survival of all patients were 64.0% and 78.8%, respectively. Two patients had grade 3 acute gastrointestinal toxicity (mainly diarrhea) and 20 cases had grade 3 to 4 hematologic toxicity. Seven patients experienced grade 3 to 4 late toxicity, 5 cases of them were gastrointestinal and 2 cases were genitourinary toxicity. Univariate analysis showed that FIGO stages, SCC-Ag level at one month after treatment, pretreatment hemoglobin level, and pelvic lymph node metastasis were significantly correlated with distant metastasis (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that FIGO stage, SCC-Ag level at one month after treatment, and pelvic lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for distant metastasis (all P<0.05). Conclusions For stageⅡb-Ⅳa cervical squamous cell carcinoma, the regimen of CCRT was efficacious and safe. The predictive factors for distant metastasis in patients withⅡb-Ⅳa stage squamous cell carcinoma of cervix treated with CCRT included FIGO stage, SCC-Ag level at one month after treatment, and pelvic lymph node metastasis. New treatment strategies should be considered to control distant metastasis for these patients.

The 57th American Society of Hematology annual meeting has mainly reported the several crucial topics, which covered recent changes to the diagnostic criteria, risk stratification, maintenance therapy, novel combination approaches and chimeric antigen receptors T cells therapy for myeloma in the era of novel agents, and the significances and detection methods of minimal residual disease for myeloma.

Purpose To analyze clinicopathologic and prognostic features in 9 cases of children endocapillary proliferative glomerulone-phritis with hepatitis B virus antigen deposition ( HBV-ECPGN) . Methods Retrospective analysis of demographic information, clini-cal manifestations, laboratory parameters, pathological and prognostic features was carried out for 9 cases of HBV-ECPGN and 13 cases of acute poststreptococcal infection endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis ( APS-ECPGN) for comparison. Renal biopsy tissue were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, stained with HE, PAS and PAM-Masson. Immunohistochemical study with EliVision method was performed. Three cases were submitted for electron microscopy. Results There were 7 males and 2 females ( M ∶ F=7 ∶ 2) of HBV-ECPGN. The median age was 10. 3 years. Serum C4 deposition ratio HBV-ECPGN was significantly greater than APS-ECPGN group (P<0. 05). There was an average of 11. 2 weeks of HBV-ECPGN kidney disease duration, which was significantly lon-ger than an average of 3. 8 weeks of APS-ECPGN group (P<0. 05). There was no disease relapse in all cases during 53. 55 months follow-up. C4d deposit was significantly stronger in all HBV-ECPGN cases compared with control group (APS-ECPGN cases). There were no significant differences in deposit of IgG, IgM, IgA, C3d and C1q between the two groups. HBsAg deposit in juxtaglomerular sites was identified in all cases. Conclusions Serum C4 decrease is more common in HBV-ECPGN than APS-ECPGN. Which may be associated with HBV infection, there is longer disease duration of HBV-ECPGN. C4d deposit is significantly stronger than control group, suggesting pathogenesis of HBV-ECPGN and APS-ECPGN is different. HBsAg deposit may be closely related to the pathogene-sis of HBV-ECPGN. HBsAg deposit in juxtaglomerular sites may be characteristic of HBV-ECPGN.

Objective:To explore the regulatory role of exosomes in calcification of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) induced by high phosphorus.Methods:VSMC (A7r5 cells) were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into three groups: normal phosphorus group (0.9 mmol/L), high phosphorus group (2.6 mmol/L) and high phosphorus exosomes induction group (i.e. the exosomes extracted from high phosphorus group were added to VSMC in normal culture). Until the 7th day of culture, the culture medium of normal phosphorus group and high phosphorus group obtained during the change of cell culture medium was collected, and the precipitate was obtained by ultracentrifugation and suspended by phosphate buffered saline. The protein content of the precipitate was determined by BCA protein quantitative method. The precipitates were identified. The structure and size of exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscope. The exosomes marker proteins tumor susceptibility gene 101 protein (TSG101) and CD9 were detected by Western blotting. The miRNA in exosomes was extracted, and the expression of related miRNA (miR-30b, miR-204, miR-211) were observed by real-time quantitative PCR. After 7 days of cultivation, the exosomes uptake process of VSMC in high phosphorus exosomes induction group was observed. The calcium deposition was detected by Alizarin stain, and the calcium content was detected by O-cresol complex copper. The content of alkaline phosphatase was detected by colorimetry. The protein expression of Runx2 was quantified by Western blotting. Results:(1) The precipitate obtained by ultracentrifugation of the cell culture fluid was identified as exosomes by electron microscopy morphology. Western blotting confirmed that the expression of the exosomal marker proteins TSG101 and CD9 were positive. (2) The exosomes were rich in miRNAs. The expression of miR-30b, miR-204, miR-211, which negatively regulated the transcription of Runx2, was significantly down-regulated in the high-phosphorus group compared with the normal group ( P<0.05). (3) After culturing rat VSMC with high phosphorus for 7 days, calcium salt deposition was obvious. Compared with the normal phosphorus group, calcium content and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly increased (both P<0.05), and Runx2 expression was also significantly increased ( P<0.05). (4) Added the obtained high-phosphorus exosomes to the normal cultured VSMC, the exosomes could be taken up by VSMC and successfully induced VSMC calcification. The levels of cell calcification indicators and Runx2 expression were significantly increased. Conclusions:High phosphorus induces calcification of VSMC and promotes the increase of Runx2 expression. The mechanism may be realized by releasing exosomes from VSMC to transmit cell signals.

Objective To establish a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining phenytoin concentration in epilepsy patients' plasma,and compare this method with chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA),and to evaluate the consistency of the two methods.Methods HPLC and CMIA methods were applied to determine the plasma concentration of phenytoin in 60 epileptic patients,respectively.The difference of results was analyzed by two-side paired t-test,and then the correlation and consistency of the two methods were investigated with Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman method.Results There was no significant difference between the results of the two methods (P ＞0.05).The regression equation of the determination results by HPLC (Y) and CMIA (X) was Y=0.992 9X +0.143 7 (R2 =0.992 6,n =60),which indicated the correlation of the two methods was good.Bland-Altman analysis showed that the consistency of the two methods for determining was good.Conclusion HPLC and CMIA method in monitoring plasma concentration of phenytoin have good correlation and consistency.Both methods can be used for therapeutic drug monitoring of phenytoin.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of enriched-calorie formula in post-operative infants with congenital heart disease and malnutrition.Methods All malnourished infants less than 6 months diagnosed congenital heart disease: ventricular septal defect and had undergone surgery in Guangzhou Women and Children`s Medical Center from December 1,2014 to May 30,2015 were included in this study.All cases were randomly divided into intervention group(energy-enriched formula,intervention group)and control group(standard formula,control group)for enteral nutrition intervention and observed for 3 months.Body mass,body length,upper arm circumference,blood prealbumin(PA),retinol binding protein(RBP),and B-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)were measured before and after ICU,after discharge,and 1 month and 3 months after operation.Results Fifty-one cases were in intervention group and 50 cases in control group,respectively.There were no significant differences in body mass,body length,arm circumference,PA,RBP,mean enteral nutrition starting time,mechanical ventilation time,length of ICU stay,hospitalization time,and average fluid intake between the two groups(all P>0.05).The average caloric intake in intervention group was significantly higher than in control group [(437.24±6.68)kJ vs.(312.43±86.22)kJ,P=0.001].There was no significant difference in NT-proBNP,PA,and RBP at different time points between the two groups(all P>0.05).The improvement of nutrition in intervention group was significantly higher than that in control group at 1 month(25.0％vs.4.9％,P=0.011)and 3 months(64.1％vs.15.7％,P<0.001)after operation.Body mass increased in intervention group [(0.067±0.348)kg] compared with that in control group,and decreased [(0.125±0.425)kg] in control group(P=0.015).Body weight[(5.46±1.36)kg vs.(4.80±1.01)kg,P=0.008],weight for age Z score(WAZ)(-2.79±1.28 vs.-3.75±1.27,P<0.001),and height for weight Z score(WHZ)(-2.47±1.43 vs.-3.62±1.77,P=0.001)one month after surgery were significantly higher than those before operation.Body weight [(6.78±1.42)kg vs.(5.72±1.01)kg,P<0.001] arm circumference [(12.80±1.17)cm vs.(12.00±0.90)cm,P<0.001],WAZ(-1.60±1.17 vs.-3.10±1.40,P<0.001),height for age Z score(HAZ)(-1.41±1.63 vs.-2.10±1.41,P=0.034),and WHZ(-0.86±1.31 vs.-2.59±2.13,P<0.001)of the two groups at 3 months postoperative were significantly higher than those before operation,and the growth rate of intervention group was faster than control group.There were no significant adverse reactions in both groups.Conclusion Calorie-enriched formula powder can help malnourished infants to catch up after congenital heart disease surgery.

Objective To investigate the risk factors,management and prophylaxis of dangerous placenta previa.Methods The clinical data of 407 cases of placenta previa were reviewed,36 cases of them with dangerous placenta previa.Comparison was made between group A (dangerous placenta previa,36 cases) and group B (non dangerous placenta previa,371 cases) in terms of age,number of pregnancy and number of ceasarean delivery.Results The incidence rates of pregnant women in group A age ≥ 35years,number of pregnancy ≥3times,and cesarean delivery≥2times were 55.6％,61.1％,25.0％,which were significantly higher than those of group B (25.6％,27.7％,2.4％),the differences were statistically significant (x2 =7.71,8.99,21.97,all P ＜ 0.01).Among the 36 cases of dangerous placenta previa,12 cases were diagnosed with concomitant placenta increta.The specificity and sensitivity for detection of placenta increta were 90.5％ (19/21) and 83.9％ (10/12) of ultrasonography respectively,and those were 100.0％ (3/3) and 87.5％ (7/8) of MRI.Of the 36 dangerous placenta previa patients,two patients were treated with induced labour due to unexpected pregnancy under 28 weeks,while the others were refer to surgical operation.5 surgical patients experienced uncontrollable postpartum haemorrhage which necessitated histectomy,while the other 31 cases received conservative operation.Rate of histectomy was 13.9(5/36).Conclusion Dangerous placenta previa is associated with advanced age,multiple pregnancy and multiple cesarean delivery.Accurate preoperational evaluation of the placenta previa should be acquired with ultrasonography and MRI to detect placenta increta,provide information for treatment selection,and prevent postpartum haemorrhage.
