Objective To investigate the expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in NSCLC and their expression rates in pathological classification, TNM stages and pathological grades and the expression correlation between ABCG2 and V-ATPase. Methods Expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase were accessed with EnVinsion immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from 92 NSCLC patients. The corresponding data was analyzed statistically. Results Expressions of ABCG2 and V -ATPase were found both in the lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell cancer, and the difference between these two kinds of tumors was significant (P =0.003,0.000). ABCG2 expression was significantly different among TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P=0.004) as well as among pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.028) and squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.000), while no significant difference was found among TNM stages of squamous cell lung carcinoma. The level of V-ATPase expression was associated with TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.026) and pathological grades of lung squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.002), however, among TNM stages of lung squamous cell carcinoma and pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma, the difference was not significant. Additionally, the significant correlation was found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in all samples, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.001). Conclusion The significant correlation is found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase, which indicate that they may co-work to participate in the mechanism of anticancer drug resistance.

Methods 1192 patients with hemodialysis (at least 3 months) from January to March in 2015 at ten blood purification centers in Liaoning Province were selected for the cross?————————sectional survey. The Kidney Health?related Quality of Life (HRQOL) version 1.3 was used to evaluate the MHD patients' life quality. The total length of hospitalization was divided into four groups: 0 days, 3 to 15 days, 16 to 30 days and above 30 days. Results When serum calcium value ranged from 2.1 to 2.5 mmol/L, kidney?disease component summary (KDCS), mental component summary (MCS), physical component summary (PCS) and SF?36+KDCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). When serum phosphorus value ranged from 1.13 to 1.78 mmol/L, KDCS and SF?36+KDCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). When the calcium phosphorus product value ranged from 40.68 to 49.94, MCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). KDCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001), dialysis age, serum calcium (less than or equal to 2.5 mmol/L) (P<0.05); PCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001) and dialysis age (P<0.05); SF?36+KDCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001), and serum calcium (less than or equal to 2.5 mmol/L) (P<0.05), while age and dialysis age were negatively correlated. The hospitalization days showed a linear correlation with age, dialysis age (P<0.001) and serum phosphorus, calcium phosphorus product value (P<0.05), while dialysis age and calcium phosphorus product value were negatively correlated. Among different groups of total hospitalization days in three years, age, hemodialysis age, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, calcium?phosphorus product value and quality of life values were all statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The life quality of patients with MHD were correlated with serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value, iPTH, dialysis age and age, while age and dialysis age were of negative correlation. The total number of hospitalization days in 3 years was closely linearly correlated with age and dialysis age, significantly correlated with serum phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value, while dialysis age, calcium and phosphorus product value were in a negative correlation. The total number of hospitalization in 3 years was correlated with the patients' age, dialysis age, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value and quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in myocardial injury induced by hind-limb ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats.
METHODSRat models of bilateral hindlimb IR established using a tourniquet were randomized into 9 groups, including a normal control group normal, 2 ischemic groups with hindlimb ischemia for 2 and 4 h, and 6 IR groups with a 4-h ischemia followed by reperfusion for 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h. The plasma and myocardial levels of MPO and TNF-α in each group were measured, and the myocardial expression of TNF-α was determined with immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the rats with a 2-h ischemia showed significantly increased levels of MPO and TNF-α in the plasma and myocardium. Compared with those in rats with a 4-h ischemia, the plasma and myocardial MPO levels increased significantly at 0.5 and 2 h of reperfusion, respectively; the plasma TNF-α level increased significantly at 4 h of reperfusion and myocardial TNF-α level decreased obviously at 12 h; plasma levels of MPO and TNF-α both significantly decreased at 24 h. The plasma MPO and TNF-α and myocardial TNF-α reached the peak levels at 4 h of reperfusion, and the peak myocardial MPO level occurred at 6 h. Immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α positivity moderately increased after hindlimb ischemia, and further increased at 4 h of reperfusion but obviously reduced at 24 h.
CONCLUSIONThe activation of systemic and local neutrophils and inflammatory cytokines may play an important role in myocardial injury induced by hindlimb IR in rats.

OBJECTIVETo assess the protective effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) against myocardial injury after skeletal muscle ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in rats and explore the mechanism.
METHODSThirty-one Wistar rats were randomized into normal control (n=8), IR group (n=8, with a 4-h reperfusion following a 4-h ischemia of the bilateral hindlimbs induced using a tourniquet), NaHS group (n=8, with IR and intraperitoneal injection of 14 µmol/kg NaHS), and DL-propargylglycine (PPG) group (n=7, with IR and intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg PPG). The plasma levels of CK-MB and the levels of MPO, TNF-α, MDA, T-SOD, and CuZn-SOD in the plasma and myocardial tissues were measured. The expression of TNF-α in the myocardium was examined using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Skeletal muscle IR induced significantly increased plasma CK-MB level (P<0.05) and the levels of MPO, TNF-α, and MDA in the plasma and myocardium, and significantly decreased plasma and myocardial levels of T-SOD and CuZn-SOD (P<0.05). NaHS treatment significantly decreased plasma CK-MB level (P<0.05), reduced plasma and myocardial levels of MPO, TNF-α, and MDA, and increased plasma and myocardial T-SOD and CuZn-SOD in rats with IR (P<0.05), whereas PPG treatment did not produce any obvious responses (P>0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed an obviously reduced expression of TNF-α in the myocardium in rats with NaHS treatment compared with those in IR group.
CONCLUSIONH₂S treatment can alleviate myocardial injury induced by skeletal muscle IR in rats by inhibiting the inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress.

Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective s To investigate the positive rate of different hepatitis B virus (HBV) serological markers, and the demographic factors related to HBV infection.Methods We enrolled all patients tested for HBV serological markers, such as HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), HBV surface antibody (HBsAb), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb), HBV core antibody (HBcAb), and HBV-DNA from July 2008 to July 2009 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The positive rate of each HBV serological marker was calculated according to gender, age, and de- partment, respectively. The positive rates of HBV-DNA among patients with positive HBsAg were also analyzed.Results Among 27 409 samples included, 2681 (9.8%) were HBsAg positive. When patients were divided into 9 age groups, the age-specific positive rate of HBsAg was 1.2%, 9.6%, 12.3%, 10.9%, 10.3%, 9.7%, 8.0%, 5.8%, and 4.3%, respectively. The positive rate of HBsAg in non-surgical department, surgical department, and health examination center was 16.2%,5.8%,and 4.7%, respectively. The positive rate of HBsAg of males (13.3%) was higher than that of females (7.3%, P=0.000). Among the 2681 HBsAg (+) patients, 1230 (45.9%) had HBV-DNA test, of whom 564 (45.9%) were positive. Patients with HBsAg (+), HBeAg (+), and HBcAg (+) result usually had high positive rate of HBV-DNA Results (71.8%, P=0.000).Conclusions Among this group of patients in our hospital, the positive rate of HBsAg was relatively high. Age group of 20-29, males, and patients in non-surgical departments were factors associated with high positive rate of HBsAg.
