Objective: To analyze the influencing factors for hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes, so as to provide the reference for reducing the economic burden of patients. Methods: Data of patients with hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke who were discharged from hospitals in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021 were collected through Hospital Information System. Hospitalization costs were analyzed between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients, and factors affecting hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes were identified using a structural equation model. Results: A total of 10 298 patients with stroke were recruited, including 2 820 patients with hemorrhagic stroke (27.38%) and 7 478 patients with ischemic stroke (72.62%). The patients with hemorrhagic stroke had a median duration of hospital stay of 19.00 (interquartile range, 18.00) d, and a median hospitalization cost of 26 759.48 (interquartile range, 51 000.87) Yuan. The patients with ischemic stroke had a median duration of hospital stay of 12.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) d, and a median hospitalization cost of 12 199.87 (interquartile range, 13 290.20) Yuan. Structural equation model analysis showed that department of hospitalization, discharge status, ways of leaving hospital, surgery and hypertension had direct effects on hospitalization costs and indirect effects on hospitalization costs through duration of hospital stay among hemorrhagic stroke patients, and duration of hospital stay had the highest total effect (0.684), followed by surgery (0.632). Employment status, admission route, department of hospitalization, ways of leaving hospital, payment mode, surgery and dyslipidemia had direct effects on hospitalization costs and indirect effects on hospitalization costs through duration of hospital stay among ischemic stroke patients, and duration of hospital stay (0.746), surgery (0.424) and department of hospitalization (0.151) ranked the top three in total effects. Conclusion The hospitalization cost is relatively high among stroke patients in Nanshan District, and duration of hospital stay and surgery have great influence on hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes.

Objective To investigate the association between SLC10A1 gene mutations in c.800G>A mutation and c.356 +1098C >T mutation, and the susceptibility to HBV infection by mother-to-child transmission ( MTCT) .Methods Totally 306 individuals born to HBeAg-positive mothers with high load HBV and without receiving nucleotide analogues treatment, including 247 HBV-infected cases and 59 non-HBV-infected ones were enrolled from Southwest Hospital during May 2011 and July 2015.Blood samples were collected from all the subjects, then genomic DNA was extracted and c.800G>A mutation and c.356+1098C>T mutation of SLC10A1 were genotyped .Chi-square test (Pearsonχ2or continuity correctionχ2) was performed to identify the difference in genotypes between two groups.Results Among vaccinated individuals (55 HBV infected and 56 not infected), the frequency of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation in non-infected ones was 14.3%(8/56), there was a tendency of increasing compared with HBV infected ones (5.5%, 3/55), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.424, P =0.119). Similarly, the frequencies of genotypes CC, CT and TT of the c.356+1098C>T mutation in HBV infected ones were 20.0%(11/55), 47.3%(26/55) and 32.7%(18/55), while those in non-infected ones were 12.5% (7/56), 69.6% (39/56) and 17.9% (10/56), and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =5.766, P=0.056).In all subjects (vaccinated and non-vaccinated), the frequency of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation in non-HBV infected group had an increasing tendency compared with HBV-infected offspring (13.6% vs.6.9%), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =2.010, P=0.156);the frequencies of genotype CC, CT and TT of c.356+1098C>T mutation in HBV infected patients were 20.2%(50/247), 49.8%(123/247) and 30.0%(74/247), while those in non-HBV-infected group were 11.9%(7/59), 69.5%(41/59) and 18.6%(11/59), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =7.436, P =0.024 ) .Within the HBV infected group, the frequencies of genotype GA of c.800G>A mutation were 5.5%(3/55) in vaccinated individuals and 7.3%(14/192) in non-vaccinated individuals, and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =0.030, P=0.863);Similarly, the frequencies of genotype CC, CT and TT of c.356 +1098C >T mutation in vaccinated individuals were 20.0%(11/55), 47.3%(26/55) and 32.7%(18/55), while those in non-vaccinated individuals were 20.3%(39/192), 50.5%(97/192) and 29.2%(56/192), and the difference was not of statistical significance (χ2 =0.274, P=0.872).Conclusion c.356+1098C>T mutation in SLC10A1 may be associated with susceptibility to HBV infection of child born in HBeAg positive pregnant women infected with high load HBV.

A new mutant human papiUomavirus type 16 E7 gene, termed HPV16 HBE7, was isolated from cervical carcinoma biopsy samples from patients in an area with high incidence of cervical cancer (Hubei province, China). A previous study showed that the HPVI6 HBE7 protein was primarily cytoplasmic while wild-type HPV16 E7 protein, termed HPV16 WET, was concentrated in the nucleus. With the aim of studying the biological functions of HPV16 HBE7, the transforming potential of HPV16 HBE7 in NIH/3T3 cells was detected through observation of cell morphology, cell proliferation assay and anchorage-independent growth assay. The effect of HPVI6 HBE7 on cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and RT-PCR were used to investigate the influence of HPVI6 HBE7 protein on the expression of regulation factors associated with GI/S checkpoint. The results showed that HPV16 HBE7 protein, as well as HPV16 WE7 protein, held transformation activity. NIH/3T3 cells expressing HPV16 HBE7 could easily transition from G1 phase into S phase and expressed high level of cyclin A and cdc25A. These results indicated HPV16 mutant E7 protein, located in the cytoplasm, induces oncogenic transformation of NIH/3T3 cells via up-regulation of cyclin A and cdc25A.

Objective To explore the current status of radiation protection in interventional procedure and to analyze the existent problems.Methods Using the random sampling,70 interventional radiology workplaces were selected from Hangzhou,Ningbo,Wenzhou,Shaoxing and Jinhua.Information on personal radiation protective products and equipment was collected by filling out the form by hospital and the radiation dose was monitored at various body parts of the workers and at the outside of the operating room.Results All hospitals have been equipped with personal radiation protective products and equipment,22 of which were not with these products and equipment as required.Chest,abdomen and lower limb of interventional radiology workers are easy to receive higher radiation dose than in head (F =4.85,4.92,P ＜ 0.05).The acceptance rates among different body parts of the workers were difference significantly (x2 =35.14,14.92,P ＜ 0.05).Using protective curtain can reduce the radiation dose significantly (t =11.61-68.28,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,it also can improve the acceptance rates significantly (x2 =6.09-28.45,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It is necessary to strengthen the use of radiation protection equipment among interventional radiology workers to reduce the levels of the individual doses to them.Hospitals must enhance the routine monitoring for improved radiaton protection.

Objective: To investigate the trend in incidence of stroke in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City from 2010 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the integrated strategy for stroke control. Methods: The data of stroke morbidity in Nanshan District from 2010 to 2021 were collected through Shenzhen Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Management System. The incidence of stroke was calculated, and standardized by the population of the Chinese Sixth National Census in 2010. The trends in stroke incidence were evaluated in Nanshan District from 2010 to 2021 using annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC), and gender-, age- and subtype-specific incidence of stroke was descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 30 377 cases with stroke were reported in Nanshan District from 2010 to 2021, with a crude incidence rate of 190.45/105 and a standardized incidence rate of 405.65/105. The crude incidence rate of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise in Nanshan District from 2010 to 2021 (APC=5.38%, t=4.678, P=0.001), and a higher crude incidence rate of stroke was seen among men than among women (227.57/105 vs. 148.40/105; χ2=1 309.580, P<0.001). The incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (χ2trend =435.717, P<0.001), and there was a tendency towards a rise in stroke incidence among residents under 40 years of age (APC=2.89%, t=2.538, P=0.029). The crude incidence of ischemic stroke was 151.24/105, which was higher than that of hemorrhagic stroke (39.21/105) (χ2=10 521.000, P<0.001). Conclusions The incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise in Nanshan District from 2010 to 2021, with ischemic stroke as the predominant subtype of stroke. Males and middle-aged and elderly residents should be given a high priority for stroke prevention and treatment.

Activity of IL-1 produced by peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide in vitro was detected from 17 acute cases, 14 chronic cases and 19 advanced cases of schistosomiasis japonica. It was found that the level of IL-1 was significantly increased and positively related to the body tempereture in the group with acute schistosomiasis. The activity of IL-1 was statistically reduced in the chronic and advanced groups, especially in the latter. After inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin with indomethacin, the level of IL-1 was significantly increased in three groups of patients, but no apparent change in the normal contro group. The results indicate that IL-1 may play an important role in inducing the inflammatory reaction in patients with acute schistosomiasis japonica and in the immunoregulation in the chronic stage. The changes of IL-1 activity in patients with schistosomiasis japonica may be closely related to prostaglandin.
