Objective To detect the infection of human papillomavirus (HPV)in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)and explore the relationship between HPV infection and clinicopathological features.Methods HPV detection and genotyping in 156 cases of NSCLC were performed using a new liquid chip based on Luminex.Patient clinical characteristics were also recorded,and the relationship between HPV infection and clinicopathological features was studied.Results Of the 156 tumor-DNA samples tested,40 (25.6%)cases showed presence of HPV-DNA,of which 37 cases were of a high-risk HPV type (16,18,33, 58).The differences were statistically significant between the HPV-positive and HPV-negative groups in gender (χ2 =4.387,P =0.036),smoking (χ2 =8.130,P =0.004),histologic type (χ2 =4.075,P =0.044)and lymph node metastasis (χ2 =7.082,P =0.008).The differences were not statistically significant between the HPV-positive and HPV-negative groups in age (χ2 =0.013,P =0.910),differentiated degree (χ2 =1.727, P =0.189),clinical stages (χ2 =0.179,P =0.672),distant metastasis (χ2 =3.012,P =0.083).Logistic regression analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis alone was an independent predictive factor of HPV infection in NSCLC (OR =0.384,95%CI:0.153-0.967,P =0.042),and gender (OR =1.402,95%CI:0.522-3.769,P =0.503),smoking (OR =0.506,95%CI:0.194-1.322,P =0.506),histologic type (OR =0.393,95%CI:0.133-0.161,P =0.091)were not independent predictive factors of HPV infection. Conclusion The infection of HPV presents in part of Chinese NSCLC patients,and HPV infection may be connected with occurrence and development of lung cancer.

Objective To revise the Chinese version of the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CHN-NIH-CPSD), and evaluate its feasibility, reliability, validity and responsiveness. Methods The NIH-CPSI was translated into Chinese according to a standard methodology including forward-backward-forward technique. The CHN-NIH-CPSI was pre-tested in consecutive samples of 162 native-speaking Chinese chronic prostatitis(CP)patients. Ninety-five of 162 filled the index again on the same day and after 4-week therapy. Ninety-seven healthy men were included as evaluated. Results The recovery of the questionnaires was 100% and all the patients filled the index completely. The mean time to complete the questionnaire for the patient group was 5.2±2.4 (range 2 - 12) min. The split-half reliability was 0.82. For the overall index and each subscale, the test-retest reliability was 0.98, 0. 98, 0. 98, 0. 97, respectively(P＜0.01);and the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0. 61,0. 71, 0. 59, 0. 75, respectively. The confirmatory factor analysis showed good construct validity with a goodness of fit index of 0. 85 and a x2 of 124.67(P＜0. 01). Of all 162 patients, the scores of the overall index and each subscale were 23. 33±5.91. 8. 80±4.26, 5.30±2.82, 9. 23±1.90, respectively;and those of healthy controls were 1. 95±1.97, 0. 37±1.03, 0. 15±0.58, 1.42± 1.20,respectively. Of the 95 patients, the original scores were 23. 53±5.60, 9.21 ±4.04, 5.10±2.75,9.21 ±2.05, comparing with 19.47±6.36, 7.79±3.95, 3. 58±1.88, 8.11±2.50, the 4 weeks later scores. The group t-test and paired t-test showed good responsiveness. Conclusions The CHN-NIH-CPSI has high feasibility, reliability, validity and responsiveness for testing the patients with CP. It is suitable for Chinese-speaking patients and helpful for cross-cultural comparisons of men with CP in clinical and research settings.

Objective To study on the possible mechanism of butylphthalide delaying renal fibrosis of mice with obstructive nephropathy. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups: sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), control group (ACEI) and treatment group (NBP). The mice in the control group (ACEI) and the treatment group (NBP) were given benazepril and butylphthalide by gavage, and the mice in sham operation group (Sham) and model group (UUO) were given normal saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and western blot. Results (1)With the longer time of ureteral obstruction, the expression of Nrf-2 was gradually strengthened in time-dependent manner;(2)Compared with the model group, the levels of Nrf-2 and γ-GCS in butylphthalide group were significantly increased, and the expression of type Ⅰ collagen was decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The expression of Nrf-2 and γ-GCS in each time points was stronger than that in the benazepril group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that: there was a positive correlation between Nrf-2 and γ-GCS (r = 0.930) and a negative correlation between Nrf-2 and the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen(r = -0.859). Conclusion Butylphthalide can relieve renal interstitial injury caused by oxidative stress and delay the progress of renal interstitial fibrosis by activation of Nrf-2 pathway and up-regulated expression ofγ-GCS.

Objective To investigate the effects of bedside blinding method of active indwelling of nasojejunal tube combined with the nasogastric tube gastrointestinal decompression for patients with severe stroke.Methods 50 patients with severe stroke were selected and divided into two groups by using random number tables,which are the observation group and the control group,with 25 cases in each group.The patients in the observation group were treated with bedside blinding method of active indwelling of nasojejunal tube combined with the nasogastric tube gastrointestinal decompression,while the patients in the control group simply received bedside indwelling of nasogastric tube.The enteral nutritional goal -rate of target feeding volume on the 7th day and the 14th day after admission and trace the incidence of gastric stasis,the reflux and aspiration,the aspiration pneumonia in the patients of the two groups within 14 days and the situation of the days of mechanical ventilation,the days in ICU and the 30 -day mortality of patients were compared in the two groups.Results The enteral nutritional goal -rate of target feeding volume on the 7th day and the 14th day in the observation group were superior to those of the control group[The goal -rate of target feeding volume on the 7th day:88% vs.64%,χ2 =3.947,P =0.047;the goal -rate of target feeding volume on the 14th day:80% vs.52%,χ2 =4.367,P =0.037].Meanwhile the incidence of gastric stasis,the reflux and aspiration,the aspiration pneumonia in the patients of the observation group within 14 days were significantly lower than those in the patients of the control group within 14 days[The gastric retention rate:8% vs.56%(14 /25 ),χ2 =10.784,P =0.001;the reflux rate:0% vs.24%(6 /25),χ2 =4.735,P =0.03;the aspiration rate:8% vs.32%,χ2 =4.500,P =0.034;the incidence of aspiration pneumonia:24% vs.68%,χ2 =9.742,P =0.002].The days of mechanical ventilation and the days in ICU of the patients in the observation group are far less than those of the patients in the control group[The days of mechanical ventilation:(11.16 ±4.86)d vs.(13.72 ±3.67)d,t =-2.101,P =0.041;the days in ICU:(15.36 ±5.66)d vs.(18.72 ±2.99)d,t =-2.625,P =0.012].While there was no significant difference between the two groups on the 30 -day mortality(24% vs.32%,χ2 =0.397,P =0.529).Conclusion The bedside blinding method of active indwelling of nasojejunal tube combined with the nasogastric tube gastrointestinal decompression can significantly improve the enteral nutritional goal -rate of target feeding volume for patients with severe stroke and greatly reduce the incidence of gastric stasis,the reflux and aspiration,the aspiration pneumonia,and limit the days of mechanical ventilation and the days in ICU.Accordingly,it has the value of popularization in the clinical application.

Objective To study the expression and significance of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in serum samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients.Methods The concentrations of CCL2 and VEGF in the serum was assessed by ELISA in healthy donors (n=27) and OSCC patients (n=85).Then analyzed the correlation between the concentrations of CCL2 and VEGF and the relationship with patients' clinicopathological characteristics.Results CCL2 concentration was lower in OSCC patients than in healthy donors (69.12 ± 19.54 pg/ml vs 103.41 ± 34.42 pg/ml,t =6.477,P＜0.05).The expression of CCL2 was positively associated to TNM stage in OSCC (t=2.193,P＜0.05).VEGF concentration was higher in OSCC patients than in healthy donors (145.76 ± 49.34 pg/ml vs 70.35± 14.93 pg/ml,t=3.92,P＜0.05).There was a negative correlation between CCL2 and VEGF (r=-0.216,P＜0.05).The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve suggests that CCL2 and CCL2/VEGF in serum are good diagnostic markers to discriminate healthy people from OSCC patients,the cutoff values was 98.61 pg/ml and 0.82.Conclusion The expression of CCL2 and VEGF in serum correlated to OSCC progression,and it can be a potential diagnostic biomarker for oral disease.

Objective To explore the impact of different doses of butylphthalide on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with obstructive nephropathy, and to discuss the correlation between Nrf-2 expression level and renal interstitial fibrosis. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups:sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), low dose of butylphthalide group (NBPL) and high dose of butylphthalide group (NBPH). In addition to the control group, UUO model was established in other three groups. NBPL group was given NBP 150 mg/(kg· d) by gavage since postoperative day 1,NBPH group was given NBP 220 mg/(kg·d) by gavage. Sham group and UUO group were given equal volume of saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and Western blot assay. The expression levels of Nrf- 2 and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by Western blot assay. Results The IOD value of type Ⅰ collagen was increased with time in UUO group, and which showed a gradual decreasing trend in Sham group, NBPL group and NBPH group (P<0.05). The IOD values at different time points were significantly higher in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared to those of Sham group. The IOD values were significantly decreased in NBPL and NBPH groups than that of UUO group, and IOD value was lower in NBPH group than that of NBPL group (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that IOD values of Nrf-2 and type Ⅰ collagen at 7 d and 14 d were increased in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared with those of Sham group. The IOD values of Nrf-2 protein were increased, and IOD values of type Ⅰcollagen were decreased, in NBPL group and NBPH group than those of UUO group. The IOD value of Nrf-2 protein was decreased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group, but the IOD value of type Ⅰcollagen was increased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group (P<0.05). Conclusion NBP can improve renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice, which may be related with the increased expression of Nrf-2 and the down-regulated expression of type I collagen.

Objective To explore the rule of the Nrf2-ARE in renal interstitial fibrosis and the mechanism of butylphthalide on renal protective effect.Methods Seventy-two male CD-1 mice were divided into 4 groups,Sham group,UUO group,NBP group,ACEI group.The Sham group and UUO group were gavaged with physiological saline.The NBP group was gavaged with butylphthalide.The ACEI group was gavaged with benazepril.After 3,7,14 days,6 mice were executed and collection of kidney tissue.The expression of Nrf2,γ-GCS and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by immunohistochemisty,RT-PCR and Western blot.The correlation of Nrf2 and γ-GCS was assessmented by linear regression.Results The expression of type Ⅰ collagen in UUO group was increased compared with the Sham group,However,the expression of Type Ⅰ collagen in NBP group or ACEI group were reduced compared with the UUO group.Compared with Sham group,the expression of Nrf2mRNA,γ-GCSmRNA and type Ⅰ collagen mRNA in uuogroup were increased in 3,7,14 days after surgery.Compared with UUO group at 7th,14u day,the lelve of Nrf2 mRNA were apparently increased in NBP group (P＜0.05).It was a positive correlation between the Nrf2 and γ-GCS and negative correlation between the γ-GCS and Type Ⅰ collagen.Conclusion The renal protective effect of butylphthalide in the renal interstitial fibrosis was more predominant than benazepril.The roles maybe occurred through increased the expression of Nrf2 and γ-GCS and alleviated the expression of Type Ⅰ collagen in nephridial tissue.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle. The pathogenic mechanism of cancer cachexia remains unknown, and the effectiveness of routine nutritional therapy is limited. The mitochondrial disorder is demonstrated to play an important role in the mechanism of tumor-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, including alterations to the mitochondrial ultrastructure, biogenesis, dynamics, mitophagy, and functions. Interventions targeting mitochondrial alterations provide a potential solution to cancer cachexia and represent a new focus in this research field.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among the aggressive behavior,hostile attribution bias and childhood trauma in schizophrenic patients.Methods 135 schizophrenic patients were tested with Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS),the Chinese-version of the Ambiguous Intentions Hostility Questionnaire (AIHQ-C) and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ).According to the score of the MOAS,the patients were divided into the aggressive group ( n =58 ) and the non-aggressive group ( n =77 ).The hostile attribution bias and the childhood trauma were compared between the two groups,and correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were used to investigate the relationships of the variables.ResultsCompared with the non-aggressive patients,the aggressive patients had significantly higher AIHQ-C total hostility bias score (6.27 ± 1.20 vs 5.90 ± 0.97,P ＜0.05 ),total blame bias score (8.04 ± 1.97 vs 6.91 ± 2.10,P ＜ 0.01 ) and total aggression bias score ( 6.17 ±1.02 vs 5.59 ± 1.04,P ＜ 0.01 ).Correlation analysis showed that the MOAS score,AIHQ scores and the total score of CTQ were significantly positively correlated with each other ( r =0.171 ～ 0.350,P ＜ 0.05 ～0.01 ).Regression analysis indicated the hostile attribution bias directly predicted the aggressive behavior( β =0.342,P ＜0.05) and completely mediated the relationship between the childhood trauma and the aggressive behavior.ConclusionThe aggressive behavior in schizophrenic patients is associated with the experience of childhood trauma and the attribution style.The childhood trauma indirectly influences the aggressive behavior by the mediating of the hostile attribution bias.
