To investigate association between prognosis of patients of peritoneal dialysis with their initial high peritoneal solute transport and complications. Two hundred and two patients with end-stage renal disease who began peritoneal dialysis during September 1,2006 to September 1, 2008 at Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing were recruited in the study. They were undergone peritoneal equilibration test within six weeks after initiating peritoneal dialysis, and their types of peritoneal solute transport, complications,nutrition status and outcomes were all recorded until August 31,2010. Their survival rate was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Compare to those with other types of solute transport, patients with high peritoneal solute transport showed higher proportion of complications ( P < 0. 05 ) during dialysis, but less ultrafiltration function ( P < 0. 05 ), worse nutrition status ( P < 0. 05 ) and lower cumulative survival rate ( P < 0. 01 ).Among patients with high peritoneal solute transport, cumulative survival rate in those with complication was lower than those without it ( P = 0. 031 ). Prognosis of patients with high peritoneal solute transport possibly varies with their complications in dialysis.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between protease-chymase secreted by mast cells, and activated transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), in skin with secondary lymphedema(SLE)in lower extremity, so as toidentify the key factors in fibrosis of lymphedema.
Methods:
In this study, the affected limb skin of 7 SLE patients was includedas the experimental group, and normal skin tissue of the lower limb of 7 volunteers was used as controls. The skin samples were assayed by Masson staining, and the expressions of chymase and TGF-β1 were assayed by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescent staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results:
There was obvious fibrosis in the skin of lower extremity in patients with lymphedema. The number of MCs andthe expressions of chymase, latency-associated peptide TGF-β1 (LAP TGF-β1) and TGF-β1 were all significantly increased in fibrotic skin in lymphedema, compared with those in normal skin. At the same time, the chymase-containing mast cells accumulated in the lymphatic vessels, with higher expression of TGF-β1.
Conclusions
The expression of chymase and TGF-β1 was significantly increased in the fibrotic skin insecondary lower extremity lymphedema. The increased expression of chymase in the skin may activate more TGF-β1 expression, and the increased TGF-β1 may promote skin fibrosis in SLE.

Objective:
To evaluate the diagnostic value of indocyanine green(ICG)lymphography in primary lymphedema of extremities.
Methods:
61 patients with limb lymphedema were enrolled in the study. The contralateral healthy limbs were used as controls. After intradermal injection of Indocyanine Green, dynamic observation of lymphatic vessels and lymph flow was performed using PDE near-infrared fluorescent instrument. The frequency of lymphatic contraction was calculated.
Results:
Lymphatic vessel images were clearly visualized in healthy limbs. Inguinal or axillary lymph nodes can be visualized when examined 30 minutes after injection. Lymphatic contraction frequency was 1(0.33-5.00)time per minute. 94.8% lymphedematous limb demonstrated delayed lymphatic vessel or lymph nodes. "Dermal backflow" and diffused shadow pattern can be observed in all affected limbs. Abnormal lymphatic vasculature and contraction can be visualized. The frequency of lymphatic contraction in the affected limb was higher compared to controls: 2.5(0.5-7.0) times per minute.
Conclusions
ICG lymphography possess high sensitivity for lymphedema diagnosis. ICG lymphography furthers our understanding of pathophysiological alterations of lymphatic disorders.

Objective To predict and assess biomechanical responses and injury mechanisms of the thorax and abdomen for small-sized females in vehicle collisions. Methods The accurate geometric model of the thorax and abdomen was constructed based on CT images of Chinese 5th percentile female volunteers. A thoracic-abdominal finite element model of Chinese 5th percentile female with detailed anatomical structure was developed by using the corresponding software. The model was validated by reconstructing three groups of cadaver experiments (namely, test of blunt anteroposterior impact on the thorax, test of bar anteroposterior impact on the abdomen, test of blunt lateral impact on the chest and abdomen). Results The force-deformation curves and injury biomechanical responses of the organs from the simulations were consistent with the cadaver experiment results, which validated effectiveness of the model. Conclusions The model can be used for studying injury mechanisms of the thorax and abdomen for small-sized female, as well as developing small-sized occupant restraint systems and analyzing the forensic cases, which lays foundation for developing the whole body finite element model of Chinese 5th percentile female.

Objective:
To evaluate the actual efficacy of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions screening approaches in real-world regions with different economic levels in China.
Methods:
The demonstrative application and effect evaluation of cervical cancer screening program were conducted in 21 hospitals nationwide from 2015 to 2018. Multi-stage sampling method was adopted to divide the country into 7 large areas according to geographical location. Two to four screening sites of two types of cancer (cervical cancer and breast cancer) were selected in each area, and the grassroots screening sites were implemented under the guidance of superior hospitals. In rural areas, women were initially screened using cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and visual inspection. The women with positive cytology or visual inspection were referred for colposcopy, and the women with positive HPV infection were randomly referred for reflex cytology or visual inspection, or direct colposcopy examination. In urban areas, women were primarily randomized into cytology or HPV testing groups. The women with abnormal cytology or positive HPV 16/18 infection were directly referred for colposcopy examination, whereas the women with positive infection of the other 12 high-risk subtypes of HPV were referred for reflex cytology or colposcopy. All of recruited women would be follow-up and screened by the baseline screening techniques in the third year while the positive women underwent colposcopy examination. The positive rates, referral rates, the detection rates of grade 2 and above of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2+ ) were compared.
Results:
A total of 63 931 women were recruited at the baseline. Among them, 11 rural sites included 33 823 women: 15 577, 11 157 and 7 089 women were screened by HPV testing, visual inspection via acetic acid or Lugol′s iodine (VIA/VILI) and cytology, respectively. Additionally, 30 108 women were from 10 urban sites: 9 907 and 20 201 women were screened by cytology and HPV subtyping, respectively. The HPV positive rate for urban women was 9.34%, whereas that for rural women was 12.53%. The abnormal rate of cytology for urban women was 5.63%, and that for rural women was 4.24%. The positive rate of VIA/VILI in the rural women was 12.25% Furthermore, the detection rate of CIN2+ at the baseline was 0.56%, and that was statistically higher in HPV-positive group than cytology-positive group (
