Overt gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is one of the noncardiac complications in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Identification of patients at increased risk of overt GIB could aid in targeting more aggressive treatment,and lead to improved outcomes.The aim of this study is to determine the frequency,risk factors,and prognostic significance of overt GIB in patients with AMI.Methods A retrospective review of the medical records of 1443 patients admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital with AMI was conducted.Charts were reviewed for clinical characteristics,possible precipitating factors and complications.Patients were categorized as having or not having overt GIB(GIB associated with hemodynamic changes or the need for transfusions).Results Twenty nine (2.0%) patients developed overt GIB within 30 days after AMI.Patients with overt GIB had higher 30-day mortality rate than those without (44.8% vs.9.9%,P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed major determinants of in-hospital overt GIB secondary to AMI were gender of female (odds ratio 2.41,95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08 to 5.37),age=75 years (odds ratio 1.58,95% CI 1.13 to 2.20),prior history of AMI (odds ratio 2.28,95% CI 1.17 to 4.88),pneumonia (odds ratio 3.47,95% CI 1.50 to 8.03) and anemia at admission (odds ratio 2.37,95% CI 1.04 to 5.37).Conclusions In patients with AMI,overt GIB is associated with higher in-hospital mortality,and female sex,older age,prior AMI,pneumonia and anemia at admission are predictors of overt GIB during hospitalization.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:195-198)

Objective To identify a aldehyde dehydrogenases positive (ALDH+) cancer stem cell subpopulation in MCF-7 cells and to investigate the proliferation and differentiation characteristics of these cells in vitro.Methods ALDH+ breast cancer stem cells were isolated from MCF-7 cells by flow cytometry and the biological property of ALDH+ breast cancer stem cells were examined by scarification test,MTT,growth curvature and Transwell migration assay.Results The ratio of CD-/low24 CD+44 cells was about 1.4 ％ in MCF-7 cells.The ratio of ALDH+ CD-/low24CD+44 cells was about 1.2 ％.The growth curvature of ALDH+ breast cancer stem cells was almost the same with that of CD-/low24 CD+44 cells.The distance between cells was obviously shorter in both CD-/low24 CD+44 cells scarification zone and ALDH+ CD-/low24 CD+44 cells scarification zone.The migration ability of CD-/low24CD+44 cells and ALDH+ CD-/low24CD+44 cells was stronger than control group cells.There were migration ability differences between CD-/low24CD+44 cells and ALDH+ CD-/low24CD+44 cells.The results of Transwell experiments were in coincidence with above results.Lots of CD-/low24CD+44 cells and ALDH+ CD-/low24CD+44 cells were through the membrane.In MTT assay,absorbance values were 1.05±0.098,1.56±0.075 and 1.67±0.032.Conclusion CD--/low24CD+44 and ALDH+ CD-/low24CD+44 breast cancer stem cell subpopulation exist in MCF-7 cells.ALDH could potentially be used as a molecular marker to identify breast cancer stem cell subpopulation.

Objective:To preliminarily evaluate the effect of tension stimulation on the biological activity of and expression of fibrosis marker genes in keloid fibroblasts (KD-Fbs) .Methods:Three patients who were diagnosed with keloids and received surgical treatment were collected from the Department of Dermatology, Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University from January to March 2017. Human KD-Fbs were isolated from resected keloid tissues, and subjected to primary culture. The third- to sixth-passage KD-Fbs were divided into tension group and control group to be cultured in the tension-based chamber and control chamber respectively, and subjected to tension stimulation and normal culture respectively. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was performed to assess the proliferative activity of KD-Fbs after 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-day culture, and the scratch assay to evaluate the migratory ability of KD-Fbs after 1- and 2-day culture. After 48-hour treatment, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression of fibrosis markers type Ⅰ collagen, fibronectin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in KD-Fbs respectively. Two-independent-sample t test was used for comparisons between 2 groups. Results:CCK8 assay showed that the proliferative activity of KD-Fbs was significantly higher in the tension group than in the control group after 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-day culture ( t=3.05, 7.00, 16.65, 15.19, respectively, all P< 0.05) . After 1- and 2-day culture, the scratch assay showed that the migration rate of KD-Fbs was significantly higher in the tension group (48.65%±3.96%, 100.00%, respectively) than in the control group (9.36%±1.14%, 50.35%±4.23%, t=16.53, 20.35, respectively, both P< 0.01) . Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ collagen, fibronectin and α-SMA was significantly higher in the tension group (3.04±0.20, 2.16±0.10, 3.76±0.24, respectively) than in the control group (1.00; t=17.57, 21.01, 20.25, respectively, all P< 0.01) . As Western blot analysis revealed, changes in the protein expression of the 3 fibrosis markers were consistent with their mRNA expression changes (all P< 0.05) . Conclusion:Tension may participate in the fibrosis in keloids by promoting the expression of fibrosis marker genes, and enhancing the proliferative and migratory ability of KD-Fbs.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and molecular features of patients with CD7 +relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia(r/rAML)and the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods:172 r/rAML patients who underwent allo-HSCT in department of hematology, Aerospace Center Hospital between January 1st 2017 and December 31st 2020 were retrospectively analyzed The patients were were divided into CD7 + group( n=75) and CD7 - group( n=97) according to the expression CD7 in the initial immunophenotype. Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square test were used to compare the clinical data, molecular and cytogenetic characteristics of the two groups of patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of the two groups of patients, and Cox regression screenthe prognostic factors of the patients. Results:The median follow-up time was 19 months. The recurrence rates were 23.71% and 50.67%, respectively in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=13.428 P<0.001). In relapsed patients, 86.96 percentage of CD7 - group did not express CD7 while 86.84 percentage of CD7 + group expressed CD7. The median PFS was 25 and 5 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=8.695, P=0.003), and the medianOS was 34 and 15 months in CD7 - and CD7 + group (χ 2=2.579, P=0.108). Univariate analysis showed that the CD7 +group, had the lower rates of morphological remission (χ 2=10.014, P=0.002), molecular remission (χ 2=22.809, P<0.001), and more male patients (χ 2=5.281, P=0.022). The incidence of CEBPA double-site mutation was higher (23.4% vs 8.2%, χ 2=8.180, P=0.004) and the rearrangement of RUNX1::RUNX1T1 was lower(4.0% vs18.6%, χ 2=8.362, P=0.004)in CD7 +group than in CD7 -group. Multivariate analysis showed that pre-transplant tumor load was the only prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 1.600; 95% CI, 1.203 to 2.127; P=0.001) and OS (HR, 1.737; 95% CI, 1.273 to 2.369; P<0.001) in r/r AML patients. Conclusion:CD7 expression is a risk factor for poor prognosis in r/r AML patients, and CD7 expression is stable after relapse. Positive CD7 can be used as a target for immune targeted therapy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of white noise reduction earplugs combined with eye mask on the sleep quality of ICU patients.Methods:A total of 136 patients who were hospitalized in the ICU ward of the Second People′s Hospital of Liaocheng from April to November 2019 were selected and divided into 3 groups according to the random number table method. Group 1 (3M earplug + eye mask, 45 cases), group 2 (white noise reduction earplug + eye mask, 46 cases), and group 3 (control group, 45 cases). On the first night after enrollment, all patients were given routine care only. On the second and third nights, group 1 was given 3M ear plugs and eye masks, group 2 was given white noise reduction earplugs and eye masks, and group 3 was given routine care only. On the morning of the second and fourth day, patients′ baseline Richards Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were assessed.Results:After the intervention, the sleep depth, sleep latency, wake at night, return to sleep, sleep quality, nocturnal subjective noise perception and total score in RCSQ in group 1 were (55.98 ± 19.65), (57.66 ± 19.56), (55.68 ± 16.25), (58.17 ± 11.32), (60.54 ± 16.33), (60.65 ± 12.58), (57.60 ± 17.21) respectively, in group 2 were (56.65 ± 18.36),(61.33 ± 20.33), (65.35 ± 23.22), (60.36 ± 19.35), (63.78 ± 20.36), (66.56 ± 10.21) and (61.49 ± 17.52), in group 3 were (45.96 ± 17.79), (48.36 ± 13.65), (48.21 ± 13.49), (51.36 ± 13.65), (51.33 ± 16.45), (43.06 ± 17.15) and (49.04 ± 15.32). There were statistically significant differences in each dimension and its total scores among the three groups (F values were 4.33-8.35, all P<0.05). Compared with group 3, each dimension and total scores of groups 1 and group 2 were higher than those of group 3, and the differences were statistically significant (t values were 2.37-7.96, all P<0.05). After the intervention, the SAS score of group 2 was (43.32 ± 21.68), which was lower than that of group 1 (57.75 ± 22.68) and group 3 (60.65 ± 19.88), and the difference were statistically significant (t=3.09, 3.99, both P<0.05).Conclusions:3M earplugs or white noise reduction earplugs combined with eye masks can effectively improve the sleep quality of ICU patients, and white noise reduction earplugs combined with eye masks can also relieve the anxiety of patients.
