Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(18):2475-2476
ObjectiveTo study whether the presence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) increased the infection rate of high risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV) in female genital tract. MethodsThe BV group had 867 patients who were diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis,and the control group had 610 female healthy volunteers without BV. Both the BV patients and the healthy volunteers were tested for HR-HPV infection rate and clearance rate. ResultsThe HR-HPV infection rate of BV group was 17.2% ,higher than the control group's 10.7% (P = 0.000) ,and 1 year HR-HPV clearance rate of BV group was 77. 6%, a little lower than the control group' s 84. 8% ( P = 0. 414).ConclusionThere was significant correlation between the presence of BV and HR-HPV infection. But 1 year HPV clearance rate had no difference between BV group and control group, indicated that efficient treatment to BV enhanced the vagina's anti-infection ability and decreased the incidence of HPV infection so as to reduce the incidence of CIN and cervical cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the value of synthetic MRI combined with DWI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:The data of 184 consecutive patients with suspected breast lesions in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July to September 2019 were prospectively analyzed. All patients were randomly assigned to training group ( n=110) and validation group ( n=74), and underwent conventional MRI and synthetic MRI respectively before and after contrast injection. At the maximum slice of the lesion, the ROI was drawn along the edge and recorded as "tumor". In the solid area with the most obvious tumor enhancement, the second ROI was drawn and recorded as "local". At the same time, ADC values (ADC local and ADC tumor) and relaxation time values (T local and T tumor) were measured. T and T + represented the relaxation time value of the ROI pre-and post-contrast scanning. ΔT% represented the relative change rate in T value between pre-and post-contrast scanning.The rank sum test was used to test the quantitative parameters of benign and malignant breast lesions in the training group and the validation group, and the variables with P<0.05 were included in the binary logistic regression analysis to screen the independent variables and establish the prediction model. The area under ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination of parameters and models. The clinical applicability of model was analyzed by decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:In the training group, univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in T 1tumor, T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2local, T 2+local, T 2tumor and T 2+tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor between benign and malignant breast lesions ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor were independent variables in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The relaxation time model (model A: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor) and ADC model (model B: ADC local, ADC tumor) established by combining the above variables had the same diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.905, 0.914, Z=-1.874, P=0.062), and the multi-parameter combination model (model C: T 1+tumor, ΔT 1% tumor, T 2tumor, ADC local, ADC tumor) had the highest diagnostic efficiency (AUC=0.965). DCA analysis showed that when the threshold probability ranges between 21%-99% (training cohort) and 15%-99% (validation cohort), the net benefit of model C was better than model A and B. Conclusion:The multi-parameter combined prediction model established based on the relaxation time value and ADC can identify breast cancer efficiently and can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.

This article was aimed to study the impact on substance and energy metabolism by chemical split fractions of Mori Cortex among hypoglycemic diabetic mouse model, in order to explain the new hypothesis of the science connotation in nature and flavor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Male Kunming mice were intraperitoneally injected with a large dose of streptozotocin (STZ) (170 mg·kg-1) to establish type 1 diabetes mellitus mouse model. Medication was given consecutively for four weeks. The enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect glucosekinase (GCK), glycogen phosphorylase (PYGL), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (α-KGDHC), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), adenylate kinase (ADK), fumarase (FUM), cytochrome C reductase (CCR), cytochrome C oxidase (COX) and other indicators. Enzymatic detection was used to determine the content of ATP coenzyme (ATPs), the content and ratio of NAD and NADH, the content of myocardial cell Na+-K+ ATP enzyme, as well as the content of ATP and ADP. The results showed that in the model group, the expression of PYGL was increased; and the expressions of GCK and PDH were decreased. It prompted that the source of glucose increased and the expelling of glucose decreased. The glucose level was increased. The COX expression was reduced and the respiratory chain was blocked. It regulated oxidative phosphorylation and the substrate phosphorylation level. It upregulated the expression of CCR, ATPs, NAD+, PGK, α-KGDHC and ADK. However, the expression of FUM was decreased. The activity of Na+-K+ ATPase was decreased significantly. At last, the metabolic disorders appeared. Mori Cortex aqueous extracts and the chemical split fractions significantly increased the GCK and PDH level in substance metabolism among diabetic mice. The levels of PYGL, α-KGDHC, PGK and acetyl-CoA were decreased (P < 0.05, or P <0.01). Meanwhile, it increased ATP and FUM, myocardial cell Na+-K+ ATP enzyme, and COX level in the energy metabolism (P < 0.05). It decreased the level of NAD+, CCR and ATPs (P < 0.05, or P <0.01). It was concluded that both the aqueous extracts and chemical split fractions of Mori Cortex can effectively improve the substance and energy metabolism disorders of diabetic mouse model. This effect may be related to the cold nature of Mori Cortex.

Objective: To obtain the antibody against N terminal of 1A6/DRIM, and thereafter get the profile of 1A6/DRIM expression in different cell lines. Methods: The N terminal of 1A6/DRIM (aa 577 714) was cloned into pGEX 4T 3. Multiple antigenic peptides (MAPs)(aa638 661) was synthesized as the antigen with Fmoc/PyBOP method. Rabbits were immunized by injecting the MAPs and the immunized sera were analyzed with ELISA and Western Blot. The Western Blot and immunofluorescence were performed to analyze the expressing profiles of the 1A6/DRIM in different tumor cell lines. Results: The antibody specifically recognized the full length of 1A6/DRIM as a 310 kDa band, which was also recognized by C terminal monoclonal antibody shown by Western Blot. 1A6/DRIM is expressed in multiple tumor cell lines and mainly located in the nuclei. Conclusion: Preparation of the antibody with MAPs is a useful technique when the fusion proteins can not be induced in E coli . The antibody we got via MAPs has supplied a good tool for further studies on the functions of the novel gene 1A6/DRIM.

Objective To determine the proper dosage of fentanyl for open heart surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) without aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ -H patients (10 male, 17 female) with fairly good cardiac function (NYHA Ⅰ - Ⅱ) scheduled for surgical repair of atrioseptal defect ( ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD) or mitral valve replacement (MVR) were studied. Age ranged from 18 to 44 years and body weight from 35 to 58 kg. The patients were randomly divided into three fentanyl dosage groups: group Ⅰ 10?kg ; group II 30 ?g kg-1 and group Ⅲ 50 ?g kg-1. Premedication consisted of intramuscular pethidine 1-2 mg kg-1 and scopolamine 0.05-0.06 mg kg-1 . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg kg-1 and fentanyl 5 ?g kg-1 . Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.15 mg g-1 . The patients were mechanically ventilated (Vr 8-10 ml kg-1 ,F 10-12 bpm,FiO2 100% ). The rest of the total dose of fentanyl (5 ?g kg-1 in group I , 25 ?g kg-1 in group II , 45 ?g kg-1 in group III) was infused after induction of anesthesia until the initiation of CPB, supplemented with inhalation of 0.6 % isoflurane. During CPB propofol was infused at 5 mg kg-1 h-1 . after discontinuation of CPB, again 0.6% isoflurane was inhaled until the end of surgery. Vecuronium 0.05 mg kg was given every 25-30 min during operation. EGG, HR, BP, CVP, SpO2, PET CO2 and body temperature (naso-pharyngeal and rectal) were continuously monitored during operation. Arterial blood samples were obtained before anesthesia (T0), 5 min after tracheal intubation (T, ) , immediately after thoracotomy (T2) , immediately before CPB (T3), 15 min after CPB was initiated (T4) , 10 min after termination of CPB (T5) and 5 min after chest was closed (T6) for blood gas analyses and determination of blood electrolytes and acid-base balance and blood concentrations of glucose, ACTH, angiotensin Ⅱ (A- Ⅱ ) and cortisol. Time of emergence from anesthesia and extubation were recorded.Results The demographic data, including age and body weight, CPB time and duration of surgery were comparable among the three groups. There were no significant changes in SpO2 , PETCO2 , body temperature, blood gases and electrolytes during operation in the three groups. MAP decreased significantly during CPB. The blood glucose, ACTH, A- Ⅱ and cortisol concentrations increased significantly during and after CPB as compared with the preanesthetic baseline (T0 ) ( P

Objective:
To investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a Mendelian randomization (MR) study, so as to provide insights into the pathogenesis of PCOS and the formulation of prevention and treatment strategies.
Methods:
The genetic data on gut microbiota was derived from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving 18 340 participants. The genetic data on PCOS was sourced from two GWAS meta-analyses in European populations, serving as the discovery set and the validation set, respectively. A two-sample MR analysis was conducted using the discovery set, with the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method as the primary approach. Sensitivity analyses employed the weighted median method, MR-Egger regression, and the MR-PRESSO test. The validation set was utilized for verification, and a meta-analysis was performed to combine the results from the two datasets.
Results:
Forward MR analysis results showed that nine types of gut microbiota were statistically associated with PCOS (all P<0.05). Specifically, the association of family Streptococcaceae (OR=1.442, 95%CI: 1.097-1.895), genus Actinomyces (OR=1.359, 95%CI: 1.036-1.784), genus Ruminococcaceae UCG 011 (OR=0.755, 95%CI: 0.619-0.921), genus Sellimonas (OR=0.766, 95%CI: 0.657-0.893) and genus Streptococcus with PCOS (OR=1.496, 95%CI: 1.136-1.972) remained consistent in the sensitivity analysis. Reverse MR analysis showed no evidence for the causal association between PCOS and the aforementioned five types of gut microbiota (all P>0.05). The MR analysis results of the validation set showed that there was no statistical association between the aforementioned five types of gut microbiota and PCOS (all P>0.05). However, the associations remained significant for genus Actinomyces (OR=1.226,95%CI:1.010-1.503) and genus Streptococcus (OR=1.266,95%CI:1.042-1.452) in the meta-analysis (both P<0.05).
Conclusion
This study provides the evidence that genus Actinomyces and genus Streptococcus are causally associated with PCOS.

Objective:To evaluate the value of MAGiC STIR sequence inassessing bone marrow edema (BME) of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.Methods:Twenty two AS patients from the Affiliated Fifth Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2019 to January 2020 underwent MR scanning, consisting of T 2WI fat-suppressed (FS) sequence and MAGiC sequence. Each SIJ was divided into four quadrants for analysis on oblique coronal MR image. Two radiologists [middle-higher seniority levels (radiologist 1 and radiologist 2) reviewed image sets of two sequences [T 2WI FS and MAGiC short T 1 inversion recovery (STIR) sequence] independently at separate times, using Hermann-Braun scoring system for degree of BME and summing numbers of quadrants based on BME findings. Disagreements were resolved to reach an agreement for final results.Assessments were repeated two weeks later by radiologist 2. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess the inter-and intra-observer agreement for the degree of BME and numbers of positive BME quadrants in the MAGiC STIR sequence, respectively. The differences between the two sequences for the degree of BME and numbers of positive BME quadrants were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Chi-square test, respectively. Taking the results of T 2WI FS sequence as a reference standard, the ROC curve was drawn, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in the detection of BME were calculated for the MAGiC STIR sequence. Results:Nineteen AS patients including 38 sacroiliac joints were enrolled in our study, being divided into 152 quadrants. Inter-and intra-observer agreement for the degree of BME and inter-observer agreement for numbers of positive BME quadrants in the MAGiC STIR sequence were all good (ICC=0.936, 95%CI 0.912-0.953, P<0.001; ICC=0.910, 95%CI 0.878-0.934, P<0.001; ICC=0.876, 95%CI 0.833-0.909, P<0.001). The difference between the two sequences for the degree of BME in quadrants was statistically significant ( Z=-3.132, P=0.002). But there was no statistically significant difference between sequences for numbers of quadrants in detecting BME (χ2=0.244, P=0.622). Area under the ROC curve of MAGiC STIR sequence in diagnosis of BME was 0.920 ( P<0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for the MAGiC STIR sequence in the detection of BME were 82.0%, 95.1%, 89.1% and 91.5%, respectively. Conclusion:MAGiC STIR sequence can be used to evaluate bone marrow edema of SIJ in AS patients with high sensitivity and specificity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors of postoperative urinary retention after rectal cancer surgery.
METHODSClinical data of 133 patients with rectal cancer undergoing radical surgery from January 2013 to September 2014 in the General Hospital of the PLA Rocket Force were retrospectively analyzed. Time to the first removal of urinary catheter, incidence of postoperative urinary retention, and time to re-insert indwelling catheter were recorded. Risk factors of urinary retention were analyzed.
RESULTSOf 133 patients, 70 were males and 63 were females, with a median age of 62 (20-79) years old. Distance from tumor lower margin to anal verge were ≤5 cm in 58 patients, >5 cm to 10 cm in 41 patients, and >10 cm to 15 cm in 34 patients. The postoperative TNM stage was recorded in 35 patients with stage I(, 34 with stage II(, 59 with stage III( and 5 with stage IIII(. Surgical procedures included anterior resection (AR) for 92 patients, abdominoperineal resection (APR) for 25 patients and intersphincteric resection (ISR) for 16 patients. Laparoscopic approach was performed in 89 patients compared with open operation in 44 patients. Time to the first removal of urinary catheter was 2-7 days after operation (median, 5 days) and 36 (27.1%) patients developed urinary retention. All the 36 patients achieved spontaneous voiding by re-inserting urinary catheter for 2-28 days (median, 6 days). Univariate analysis showed that elderly (>65 years) and laparoscopic approach had significantly higher incidence of urinary retention [37.5%(21/56) vs. 19.5%(15/77), χ=5.333, P=0.021; 34.8%(31/89) vs. 11.4%(5/44), χ=8.214, P=0.004; respectively]. Multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated that old age(OR=3.949, 95%CI:1.622 to 9.612, P=0.002), laparoscopic approach (OR=5.665, 95%CI:1.908 to 16.822, P=0.002), and abdominoperineal resection (OR=3.443, 95%CI:1.199 to 9.887, P=0.022) were independent risk factors of urinary retention after rectal cancer surgery.
CONCLUSIONSPatients undergoing rectal cancer surgery have a high risk of postoperative urinary retention. More attention should be paid to the old patients, especially those undergoing laparoscopic procedure or abdominoperineal resection, to prevent postoperative urinary retention and urinary dysfunction.
