Objective To preliminarily explore the delineation of clinical target volume in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for para-aortic lymph node metastases in patients with gynecological malignancies.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 56 gynecological tumor patients with para-aortic lymph node metastases who were admitted to our department from January 2010 to September 2016.The number and distribution of metastatic para-aortic lymph nodes were determined by imaging method.Results A total of 108 positive para-aortic lymph nodes were found in the 56 patients,with 1-4(mean,2) positive para-aortic lymph nodes per patient.The mean diameter of positive para-aortic lymph nodes was 2.3 cm (1.2-4.0 cm).A total of 20 metastatic lymph nodes (19%) were located at the L4 level,38(35%) at the L3 level,44(41%) at the L2 level,and 6(5%) at the L1 level.There were 71 metastatic lymph nodes (66%) at the left side of the para-aortic region,20 metastatic lymph nodes (19%) between the abdominal aorta and the vena cava,and 17 metastatic lymph nodes (15%) at the right side of the inferior vena cava.Conclusions For patients with gynecological malignancies,nodal contouring for the para-aortic region should not be defined by a fixed circumferential margin around the vessels.The left side of the para-aortic region should be covered adequately;the upper target should be extended up to the renal artery,and needs to be further extended for patients who have nodal involvement near the renal arteries and veins.

Objective:To analyze the relationship among smoking, levels of homocysteine (Hcy), cystatin C (CysC), C reactive protein (CRP) and coronary heart disease (CHD) onset in young people.Methods:A total of 152 patients, who received selective coronary angiography because of chest pain in our hospital, were enrolled, and all subjects were <45 years old.According to examination results, they were divided into CHD group (n=100) and non-CHD group (n=52).Clinical data were analyzed in both groups, and Logistic multi-factor regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for CHD in young people.Results:Compared with non-CHD group, there were significant rise in percentages of men (30.8% vs.65.0%), smoking (46.1% vs.68.0%) and hypertension (34.6% vs.51.0%), levels of CysC[(0.85±0.16) mg/L vs.(1.34±0.28) mg/L], CRP [(1.26±0.85) mg/L vs.(6.93±0.85) mg/L] and Hcy[(7.16±1.16) mol/L vs.(20.85±2.16) mol/L],P<0.05 or <0.01;multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that male, hypertension, smoking, Hcy, CysC and CRP were risk factors for CHD in young people (OR=1.34~3.42, P<0.05 or <0.01).Conclusion:Male, smoking, total cholesterol, homocysteine, Cys C and C reactive protein are risk factors for CHD in young people.Therefore, these risk factors should be eliminated, or its risk should be reduced.

ObjectiveTo help physicians improve detection rate of depressive and anxiety disorders by exploring the complaints of gastrointestinal(GI) outpatients with these disorders in the general hospitals.Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June in 2007.A total of 1995 subjects from 13 general hospitals in China were screened with the hospital anxiety and depression scale ( HADS ) and patient health questionnaire 15-item (PHQ-15).Meanwhile patients'complaints were recorded.Psychiatrists interviewed subjects scored ≥8 on HADS and made diagnoses by using the mini international neuropsychiatric interview(MINI).There were 323 outpatients diagnosed as depressive or anxiety disorders and 1287 outpatients without diagnosis of depressive or anxiety disorders.The complaints and PHQ-15 sores were compared between these two groups.The logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk of having depressive or anxiety disorders with the number of complaints as an independent variable.ResultsSome symptoms between two groups were statistically significant,including weakness(34.1％ vs 18.8％ ;χ2 =18.04; P=0.000),fatigue(9.6％ vs 5.7％ ;χ2 =6.58,P=0.010)and insomnia( 7.1％ vs 3.4％ ; χ2 =8.87 ; P =0.003 ).Logistic regression analysis showed that with each additional complaint,the odds for an interview-based diagnosis of depressive or anxiety disorders increased,the odds ratio(OR) was 1.12(95％ CI,1.08 ～ 1.17,P=0.000).In comparison to the outpatients without depressive or anxiety disorders,outpatients with these disorders signifycantly had higher PHQ-15 scores (( 11.12 ± 4.92 ) vs (6.68 ± 4.05 ) ; t =16.84,P =0.000).ConclusionThe GI outpatients with depressive and/or anxiety disorders have worse mental heath and more complaints,compared to patients without these disorders.These results may help physicians to better identify depressive disorders and anxiety disorders.

Objective:To investigate the effect of antlerbase on the radiation carcinogenesis by observing the effect of antlerbase on the expressions of Notch2 gene and immune function of the mice with thymic lymphomas induced by ionizing radiation.Methods:Ninety BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group,irradiation group and irradiation combined with drug group (combined group)(n=30).The thymic lymphoma models of mice were made by X-ray irradiation in irradiation group and combined group;after establishing the animal models,the mice in combined group were fed with chow containing antlerbase superfine powder.After 6 months,the whole blood and thymic tissue were taken,then RT-PCR and Western blotting methods were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions levels of Notch2 gene in the thymic lymphoma tissue;ELISA method was used to detect the serum immunoglobulin (IgG,IgA,IgM)levels and SOD kit was used to detect the serum SOD activities of the tumor mice.Results:The incidences of thymic lymphoma in irradiation group and combined group were 53.33%(16/30)and 36.67% (11/30),respectively.Compared with control group,the expression levels of mRNA and protein of Notch2 gene in thymic lymphoma of the mice in irradiation group were significantly increased (P <0.05);compared with irradiation group,the expression levels of mRNA and protein of Notch2 gene in combined group were decreased (P <0.05);compared with control group,the levels of IgG,IgA,and IgM in serum of the mice in irradiation group were decreased (P < 0.05 ); compared with irradiation group, the levels of IgG, IgM, hemoglobin and the activity of SOD in serum of the mice in combined group were increased (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion:Ionizing radiation can activate the high expression of Notch2 gene and protein and decrease the immune function of mice,it might be one of the mechanisms for the occurrence of radiation carcinogenesis;antlerbase can decrease the incidence of radiation carcinogenesis by inhibiting the expression of Notch2 gene and increasing the immune function of mice,which might play an role in restraining tumor.

Objective To investigate the infectious status,etiological spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of rotavirus (group A/B/C),calicivirus (novovirus Ⅰ/Ⅱ,sapovirus),astrovirus and enteric adenovirus in diarrhea cases below 5 years old from 2008 to 2015 in Henan provinces.Methods Totally 2541 stool samples were collected from cases below 5 years old in four sentinel hospitals.All stool specimens were tested for group A rotavirus by double antibody sandwich ELISA method.G/P genotyping of group A rotavirus was determined by nested multiplex PCR.Viral RNA was extracted from all samples and rotavirus (group B/C),calicivirus,astrovirus and enteric adenovirus were detected by two-step reverse transcription-polymerase chain reation (RT-PCR)/PCR.Results One thousand four hundred and twenty-one out of 2 541 samples were positive with a total positive rate of 55 .9%,among which,102 were mixed infection.The isolation rate of rotavirus was 36.0% (914 samples)(group A:785 cases,group B:36 cases,group C:93 cases),calicivirus was 12.1 % (308 samples)(novovirus Ⅰ:64 cases,novovirusⅡ:193 cases,sapovirus:51 cases),astrovirus was 5 .9% (151 samples),enteric adenovirus was 1 .9%(48 samples).The group A rotavirus gene type combinations were composed mainly of G9P[8],G2P[4], G3P[8 ],G1P [8 ]and most cases were identified from September to November and March to May. Novovirus Ⅱ was predominant in calicivirus and most cases were identifed between March and May. Rotavirus or calicivirus infection was mainly among children aged 4—12 months or 3—5 years, respectively.Clinical manifestations included fever,diarrhea,vomiting,dehydration.Gender and region distributions differed according to the types of pathogen.Conclusions Group A rotavirus and novovirus Ⅱare the major viral pathogen in diarrhea cases younger than 5 years old in Henan province.Different viral infections exhibit extinct epidemiologic and clinical characteristics.

Objective To study the changes of mRNA and protein expressions of Kras gene in thymic lymphomas induced by ionizing radiation,and to detect the methylation of CpG islands in promoter region of Kras gene,then to investigate the mechanisms for the occurrence of radiation carcinogenesis.Methods The thymic lymphoma models of BALB/c mice were made by X-ray irradiation,then the total RNA was extracted,cDNA was synthesized and the total protein was extracted from both thymic lymphoma tissue and normal thymus tissue;the mRNA and protein expressions of Kras gene in thymic lymphoma tissue and normal thymus tissue were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method, and the methylation of CpG islands in promoter region of Kras gene was detected by bisulfite sequencing PCR. Results The mRNA expression level of Kras gene in thymic lymphoma tissue was significantly higher than that in normal thymus tissue(P<0.01).The protein expression level in thymic lymphoma tissue was about 1.41 times higher than that in normal thymus tissue;4 CpG sites were methylated detected by bisulfite sequencing PCR in normal thymus tissue, however, 1 CpG site was methylated in thymic lymphoma tissue,the CpG islands in promoter region of Kras gene were demethylation state in thymic lymphoma. Conclusion Ionizing radiation can cause the changes of mRNA and protein expression levels of Kras gene in thymic lymphoma tissue by demethylation state of Kras gene,eventually lead to the occurrence of tumor;it might be one of the mechanisms for the occurrence of radiation carcinogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effect of solute cartier organic anion transporter family, member 1B1 (SLCOIBI) gene variants on the response to therapy with repaglinide in type 2 diabetes. Methods 100 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were treated with repaglinide during a course of 48 weeks. Anthropometrie parameters and indices related to glucose metabolism were measured periodically. Genotypes of SLCO1B1 D130N and V174A were detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing respectively. Results Eighty-nine patients accomplished the 48-week follow-up visits. D130N variant in SLCO1B1 gene was associated with repaglinide treatment, DD genotype had better HbA1C lowering effect than N allele carrier [△HbA1C: (-2.29±0.23) % vs (-1.49±0.21)%, P<0.05]. No association was detected between D130N and the other effects of repaglinide on glucose metabolism related phenotypes. Conclusion D130N variant in SLCO1B1 gene is associated with the response to repaglinide treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. DD homozygotes had a better effect than N allele carriers.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of glycated albumin (GA), a parameter in reflecting recent glycemic control, in patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. Methods From January to June 2007, 516 subjects who accepted oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in out-patient department were randomly enrolled, including 130 with normal glucose regulation (NGR), 154 with IGR and 232 with diabetes mellitus. The fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 0.5 h plasma glucose (PG), 1hPG, 2hPG, 3hPG after glucose loading, HbA1c and GA were measured in each subject. The correlation between GA and the other parameters were analyzed. Results There were significant differences in the values of GA among NGR, IGR and diabetes mellitus groups (all P < 0.01), but no difference in the values of HbA1c between NGR group and IGR group (P > 0.05). GA was positively correlated with HbA1c (r = 0.75, P < 0.01). Stepwise regression analysis showed that FPG, 2hPG and body mass index were the major independent contributing factors. Conclusion The combination of plasma glucose with GA measurement may be helpful in evaluating the status of glucose metabolism.
