Objective To deeply explore coping style of persons with acute myocardial infarctionfrom incidence to hospital admission. Methods A qualitative research with cross-sectional and retro-spective multiple-case study was used. Ten persons with confirmed acute myocardial infarction were recruit-ed from a large hospital in Wuhan. Semi-structured interviews and conceptual framework for this study wereconducted based on a guide developed hom a review of the literatures pertaining to coping ability and ex-pert opinion. Interviews were audiotape recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative date were analyzedby using thematic analysis. Results Coping ability influenced patients" decisions in seeking treatment,associated with patients" geographic area, culture and economy but not education. Analysis of the data re-vealed coping ability included three sub-themes: remaining routine life as usual,seeking resources and helpand confirming the disease. Conclusions Systemic health education should be supplied to high-risk pop-ulation to improve their ability to cope with disease.Effective measures should be adopted to reduce timedelay so that the disease incidence rate,death rate and disability rate will be reduced.

Objective:To observe and analyze the clinical features, treatment methods and efficacy of patients with retinopathy associated with incontinentia pigmenti (IP).Methods:A retrospective case study. Twelve clinical confirmed IP patients (24 eyes) in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to December 2018 were included in this study. The best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure examination were performed in patients (>4 years old). All patients were examined on the anterior segment, vitreous body, and fundus under topical anesthesia or general anesthesia. Eight cases underwent genetic testing. Patients with active disease should be given anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drug treatment, retinal laser photocoagulation or vitrectomy, those without active disease should be observed. All patients were followed up for 1 to 3 months, with an average follow-up time of 18.7 months.Results:All patients were all female, with an average age of 6.3±9.8 years old at the first ophthalmology visit. According to the recommendations of the pediatrician, 3 cases were actively screened for ophthalmology (referrals), with an average age of 0.4±0.5 years (median age: 2 months). A total of 9 cases were not recommended for referrals (non-referrals), including 3 cases of ophthalmology who were diagnosed for the first time due to visual impairment, and 6 cases of undiagnosed IP before the ophthalmology visit, the average age of their first visit was 8.2±10.8 years (medium age: 3 years old). The age of the first visit for non-referred patients was larger than that of referrals, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.141, P=0.036). Among the 24 eyes of 12 cases, there were no obvious fundus abnormalities in 1 case or 2 eyes, 11 cases of IP-related retinopathy in 22 eyes (91.7%, 22/24), 8 cases of binocular asymmetry (66.7%, 8/12). There were active lesions on the fundus in 7 eyes (29.2%, 7/24). Patients underwent simple retinal laser photocoagulation and/or anti-VEGF drug therapy. During the follow-up, retinal neovascularization recurred in 1 eye. Among the 8 cases that underwent genetic testing, 3 cases (37.5%, 3/8) were deleted in exons 4-10 of the IKBKG gene. Conclusions:IP is more common in women. IP-associated retinopathy is noted with early-onset, asymmetrical retinopathy, which is identified with retinal neovascularization and vitreous proliferation. Early detection and timely treatment are essential.

Objective To measure histidine triad nucleotide?binding protein 1(HINT1)protein expression and gene promoter methylation, and to analyze the relationship between HINT1 gene promoter methylation and clinical pathological features of melanoma. Methods Fifty?six patients with melanoma and 51 patients with nevus were enrolled as subjects and controls, respectively. Methylation?specific PCR (MSP) was performed to measure the methylation of HINT1 gene promoter in lesional and paratumoral tissue specimens from the patients with melanoma, as well as in lesional specimens from the patients with nevus. Immunohistochemistry was carried out to quantify the expression of HINT1 protein in these tissue specimens. Results MSP showed that the methylation rate of HINT1 gene promoter was significantly higher in melanoma tissues than in paratumoral and nevus tissues(76.8%[43/56]vs. 33.9%[19/56]and 35.3%[18/51], χ2 = 20.810 and 18.749, respectively, both P < 0.05), but was insignificantly different between paratumoral and nevus tissues(χ2=0.022, P>0.05). Immunohistochemistry revealed that the expression rate of HINT1 was 21.4%(12/56)in melanoma tissues, compared to 82.4%(42/51)in nevus tissues(χ2 = 39.633, P <0.01). There was a significant difference in the methylation rate of HINT1 promoter between HINT1?positive and ?negative melanoma tissues(6/12 vs. 37/44[84.1%], P<0.05), and between Clark levelⅠ-ⅡandⅢ-Ⅴmelanoma tissues(59.1%[13/22]vs. 88.2%[30/34],χ2=6.365,P=0.012). Conclusions HINT1 protein is lowly expressed in melanoma, which may be associated with high methylation of its gene promoter. Moreover, the high methylation ofHINT1 gene promoter may be involved in the initiation and progression of melanoma.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). Methods Totally, 50 patients with DFSP visiting the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 1998 to 2014 were enrolled. The clinical manifestations, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, treatment and prognosis of DFSP were retrospectively reviewed. Results The average age at onset of DFSP was (29.5 ± 15.9)years in the 50 patients, with a mean disease duration of 9.57 years. Skin lesions most frequently occurred on the trunk(n = 33, 66.0%), followed by the extremities, head and neck. DFSP was characterized by atrophic patches or plaques in 13 cases (26.0%), multiple nodules varying in size and arising on atrophic plaques or patches in 30 cases (60.0%), single or multiple nodules arising on normal skin in 7 cases (14.0%). Histologically, the tumor consisted of uniform infiltrative spindle cells arranged in a storiform or cartwheel pattern. In addition, the tumor cells expressed CD34 and vimentin. Twenty patients experienced recurrence at the primary site after resection of skin lesions with a recurrence rate of 43.5%. No distant metastasis or death occurred in these patients. Conclusions DFSP usually has various skin manifestations, is easily misdiagnosed, and can be confirmed based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Local recurrence of DFSP is common, and may occur for many times after surgical excision, but lymphatic and distant metastases are rare.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts on UV-induced light damage of human keratinocytes.Methods:The experiment was conducted from December 2018 to April 2020 in the Guangxi Medical University Laboratory of Genetics. The photoaged keratinocyte model was used, the cells were co-cultured with different concentrations of Acronychia pedunculata water extracts. The cell proliferation rate was detected by CCK-8 method. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of cells were detected by a test kit. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were determined by ELISA.Results:The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by 0.5 mg/L-2.0 mg/L of the extracts. Compared with control group, the proliferation rate of HaCaT cells in the experimental group was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Compared with control group, the contents of ROS was decreased ( F=214.67, P<0.05), MDA was decreased ( F=811.88, P<0.05), SOD was increased ( F=28.95, P<0.05), CAT was increased ( F=213.31, P<0.05), GPX was increased ( F=65.10, P<0.05), T-AOC was increased ( F=305.58, P<0.05), IL-1β was decreased ( F=15.46, P<0.05), IL-6 was decreased ( F=59.2, P<0.05), and TNF-α was decreased ( F=33.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:The extracts of 0.5-2.0 mg/L of Acronychia pedunculata have protective effects on the photoaging cell model, which may be related to the increase of SOD, CAT, GPX and other antioxidant enzymes and the level of T-AOC in photoaging HaCaT cells, and the decrease of ROS, MDA content and the expression of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To investigate the complications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) internal pulse generator (IPG) replacement procedures and discuss the reasons,preventive measures and treatments.Methods From 2012 to 2016,285 procedures (according to the number of replacement IPG) were performed for 211 patients in our hospital.Among them,178 patients were with Parkinson's disease,29 patients were with dystonia,3 patients were with tic disorder,and one with essential tremor.Thirty-two patients previously used Medtronic replaced with local DBS with brand of PINC and Sceneray,and the other 179 patients remained the use of Medtronic brand.Furthermore,36 patients got extension cable reimplantation along with IPG replacements.Results Replacement surgeries were divided into 3 types:IPG replacement in situ;bilateral side single-channel IPG was replaced by double-channel IPG or double-channel IPG was replaced by bilateral single-channel IPG;extended cables and IPG replacement were carried out simultaneously.The follow up period was from one to 6 years for these 211 patients,and 15 got surgical-and hardware-related complications:6 with sack hemorrhage,2 with skin erosion,one with IPG rejection,3 with adaptor fracture,and 3 with impedance abnormality were recorded;no infection was noted.Twenty-six patients got significant improvement after new IPG replacement.Conclusions DBS IPG replacement operations is a regular surgery with certain safety.Personalized surgical procedures,rigorous intraoperative operation and correct postoperative management can effectively reduce and prevent the complications of IPG replacement surgery.

OBJECTIVE：To systematically evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma ，in order to provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS ：Retrieved from Cochrane Library ，PubMed，Embase，CJFD，VIP，CBM and Wanfang database ，randomized controlled trials （RCTs）about Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone （trial group ）versus mifepristone alone （control group ）in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma were collected. After literature screening and data extraction ，the quality of included literatures was evaluated with modified Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Stata 14.0 software，and trial sequential analysis （TSA）was performed by using TSA 0.9 software. RESULTS ：A total of 12 RCTs were included ，involving 1 210 patients. The results of Meta- analysis showed that the total response rate of trial group [RR ＝1.12，95％CI（1.00，1.26），P＜0.05] was significantly higher than that of control group ；maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment [SMD ＝－1.08，95％CI（－1.21，－0.95），P＜0.05]，uterine volume after treatment [SMD ＝－0.80，95％CI（－1.14，－0.45）， P＜0.05]，follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）level [SMD ＝ － 0.28，95％ CI（－ 0.45，－ 0.19），P＜0.05]，luteinizing hormone（LH）level [SMD ＝－0.44，95％CI（－0.52，－0.12）， 020-38076311。E-mail：867203217@qq.com P＜0.05]，E2 level [SMD ＝－2.69，95％CI（－3.08，－1.49）， P＜0.05] and progesterone （P）level [SMD ＝－1.27，95％CI（－1.69，－0.71），P＜0.05] of trial group were significantly lower or better than those of control group. Results of subgroup analysis showed that except for the level of FSH in 5 and 10 mg mifepristone groups （P＞0.05），maximum uterine leiomyoma volume after treatment ，uterine volume after treatment ，the levels of FSH，LH，E2 and P in trial group were significantly lower than control group. The results of TSA showed that there were definite evidences for total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone being better in the treatment of hysteromyoma. CONCLUSIONS ：Total response rate of Gongliuqing capsules combined with mifepristone in the treatment of hysteromyoma is better than mifepristone alone ，which can effectively decrease the volume of maximum uterine leiomyoma volume and uterine vilume ，and reduce the level of serum hormone.
