At present the most common colorimetry for the activity determination of the peroxidase ( POD) is based on the detection of the absorbance of product at 470 nm in a reaction system of the H2 O2/POD/guaiacol ( GA) , but the shortcoming of the method is that the formed product is not stable and there is the serious adsorption phenomenon on the cell. To solve this problem, a new method was established for accurate determination of POD activity based on the fluorescent feature of GA. By using standard solutions of horseradish peroxidase as the test samples and under these optimum conditions such as 0. 5 mmol/L of GA, 0. 5 mmol/L of H2 O2 , pH 6, 0. 05 mol/L of phosphate buffer solution and the reaction temperature of 20℃, the sample volume was only consumed 20 microlitre at a time, the linear response range was 500-60000 U/L ( r=0 . 9993 ) , the detection limit was 385 U/L and relative standard deviation was ≤2 . 4% ( n=11 ) . The comparisons for the determination results of the POD activity in the white radish’s extraction solutions were conducted among our method (9714±132 U/L) and the colorimetric method (9926±352 U/L) as well as the recirculating-catalytic flow analysis ( 9608±456 U/L ) . The results showed that the mutual consistency is better.

ObjectiveTo compare and analyze conventional plan and inverse optimized plan in dosemetric of cervical cancer. MethodTwenty cases of cervical cancer treated with combination radical radiotherapy of EBT were selected,every case had two plans: one was conventional plan based A point prescription dose, the other was inverse optimized plan (IPSA, inverse planning with simulated annealing)based volume object dose.ResultsIPSA plans provided better values compared with the conventional plans in 90% prescription dose volume V90[ (94 ± 15 )% vs. (60 ± 17 )%], 100% prescription dose volume V100[(90 ± 18)% vs. (56 ± 14)%]and 100% treatment volume dose D100[(54 ± 10)% vs. (29 ±9)%](P <0.05),respectively. Meanwhile the organ at risk received lower dose volume. ConclusionsPlans generated using IPSA provide higher dose to the target volume but with lower dose to normal structure and less time. This study can help to guide the clinical application.

Objective: To study the expression of neural cell adhesive molecule (NCAM) and its clinical significance in human astrocytoma. Methods: Expression of NCAM mRNA and its protein (CD56) were detected by in situ hybridization using NCAM antisense complementary RNA probe and by immunohistochemical staining in 40 cases of astrocytoma. Results:Expression of NCAM mRNA and CD56 in 1, 2 grade astrocytoma was significantly higher than that in 3, 4 grade astrocytoma. The expression of NCAM mRNA accorded with the expression of CD56. Conclusion: Expression of NCAM mRNA and CD56 is correlated with the malignant degree of astrocytoma. The high expression of NCAM may be correlated with invasion and metastasis of astrocytomas. It is suggested that the expression of NCAM may be an important clue in assessment of malignancy and invasion of astrocytoma, and it may be a guide for the choice of post operation therapy.

In order to improve the bonding strength of the hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on the metal substrate, we prepared the HA-Ti/HA composite coatings by two-step electrodeposited method, and then we studied the component, microstructure, surface morphologies and the bonding strength of the HA-Ti/HA composite coatings. SBF test and cell culture in vitro were carried out to evaluate the biological properties of the composite coatings. The results showed that the bonding strength of the HA-Ti/HA composite coating (Ti, 51.2wt%) was as high as 21.2 MPa which was 3 times that of pure HA coatings. The coatings' surface was covered by carbonate-apatite layer after being immersed in SBF, and the bone marrow cells attached firmly and proliferated well on the surface of composite coatings. These findings indicate that the composite coatings possess good bioactivity and excellent biocompatibility.

Objective:To evaluate the retinal differentiation ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from various somatic cell sources.Methods:The hiPSCs lines BC1- green fluorescent protein (GFP) and Gibco obtained by blood cell reprogramming and the hiPSCs line UE017 obtained by urine cell reprogramming were used to induce retinal differentiation.The morphogenesis and development of retina were recorded with an optical microscope, and the expression of specific molecular markers of various cell subclasses in the retina was detected by immunofluorescence, and the efficiency of retinal differentiation of different cell lines was analyzed and compared.Results:All three hiPSC lines derived from blood and urine cells were able to be induced into three-dimensional (3D) retinal organoids, including neuroretina and retinal pigment epithelial cells.Retinal organoids simulated the development process of retina in vivo and gradually differentiated into all cell subtypes of retina, including retinal ganglion cells, photoreceptor cells, amacrine cells, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, Müller cells, and even formed lamellar structures.However, in terms of the efficiency of acquiring retinal organoids, the hiPSCs derived from blood were more efficient than those derived from urine. Conclusions:hiPSCs from both blood and urine somatic cells can differentiate into 3D retinal organoids, including all subtypes of retinal cells.The differentiation efficiency among lines is different.

Objective:To evaluate the new model of group screening combined with opportunistic screening for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods:Group screening combined with opportunistic screening was used for gastric cancer screening. (1) Group screening. Cluster sampling was used to screen gastric cancer by endoscopy in high-risk population (aged 40-<70 years) of rural residents in Weihai from July 2017 to December 2020, and biopsy was obtained for histopathology if necessary. Main collection parameters included the detection rate of advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN). (2) Opportunistic screening. The changes of the detection rates of early gastric cancer in opportunistic screening in 2 hospitals in Weihai area were observed during the same period of time.Results:(1) In group screening, from July 2017 to December 2020, the first batch of 8 000 cases of gastric cancer screening were completed. The cases of advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer and HGIN were 36, 28, and 62, respectively. The detection rates of gastric cancer and early gastric cancer were 0.80% (64/8 000) and 43.75% (28/64), respectively. The proportion of early gastric cancer+HGIN who received endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was 77.78% (70/90), and the rate of curative resection was 100.00%(70/70). (2) Opportunistic screening: from July 2017 to December 2020, the annual early gastric cancer detection rates in opportunistic screening in Wendeng District Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were 16.67% (1/6), 20.00% (3/15), 23.53% (4/17), and 33.33% (6/18) in the consecutive 4 years, respectively. The annual detection rates of early gastric cancer in opportunistic screening in Ru Shan Peoples Hospital were 14.74% (14/95), 23.80% (60/252), 25.49% (65/255), and 24.04% (50/208), respectively. The detection rates of opportunistic screening for early gastric cancer in hospitals in Weihai city increased year by year.Conclusion:In areas with high incidence of gastric cancer, a certain scale of group screening can lead to a wider range of opportunistic screening, resulting in the increase of the detection rate of early gastric cancer. The new model of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer is worth recommendation.

Objective To investigate the fertility history and demand for reproductive health services of new residents in Shanghai. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 358 new residents in 36 survey sites in 7 districts of Shanghai from July to September 2020. The content includes fertility history, induced abortion history, demand for reproductive health-related services, awareness rate of the Shanghai Family Planning Association and service access rate, etc. Results Among the new residents themselves and their spouses/sexual partners, 31.3% (374/1 194) had been pregnant once and 33.6% (401/1 194) had been pregnant twice; 46.3% (533/1 194)had one child and 29.7% (355/1 194)had two children. The difference of number of births among new residents with different residence time, those who did or did not possess permanent residency or residence permits, and those from different sources (urban or rural) was statistically significant ( χ 2=158.664, 50.263, 16.011, 114.419, all P <0.001). Among the new residents themselves and their spouses / sexual partners, the proportion of induced abortion of more than once was 36.1%. The difference of the number of abortions of new residents with or without permanent residency was statistically significant ( χ 2=19.389, P <0.001). The awareness rate of new residents of the harm of induced abortion to health was 92.1% (1 100/1 194); There were significant differences in the scientific knowledge of harm of induced abortion to health among new residents with different local residence time and those with or without a residence permit ( χ 2=36.590, 20.926, both P <0.001). The awareness rate of the Family Planning Association was 82.6% (986/1 194), and the service access rate was 51.3% (613/1 194). Permanent residency and residence permits are the main factors that affect the service accessibility of the Shanghai Family Planning Association. 44.8% (535/1 194) of new residents hope to receive reproductive health services in their place of residence, and they are most concerned about knowledge on good prenatal and postnatal care. Conclusion We should further publicize the "three-child" fertility policy, advocate a friendly fertility culture, and provide new residents with people-centered and accurate reproductive health services adapted to their needs through multi-sectoral cooperation, so as to improve their reproductive health level.
