Objective To study the clinical value of VACORA vacuum-assisted rotation system in the treatment of benign breast lesions. Methods Under the screening of dynamic ultrasound,122 beast lesions in 93 patients diagnosed as benign lesions from ultrasound were treated with VACORA vacuum-assisted rotation system,and all the patients were examined for follow-up. Results All the lesions were totally rotated and 119 lesions demonstrated to be benign and 3 lesions were atypical hyperplasia from pathologic examination. In the benign lesions, 72 cases were demonstrated to be fibroadenoma, 39 cases were demonstrated to be fibrosis adenosis,4 cases were intraductal papilloma,2 cases were duct inflammation, 1 case was epithelial hyperplasia of the duct and 1 case was lymphode. In 8 cases,bleeding was seen along the needle tract,which was stopped after compression. Small hematoma was formed in 10 patients in the second day of follow-up, which was disappeared in the 3 to 6 months of the follow-up. And all patients had no remnant lesions in the local area and the incisions were not clear in the skin 3 to 6 months of the follow-up. Hypoechoic focuses were detected out at the original location in the 3 benign cases, which were possibly residual focuses. Conclusions Benign breast lesions could be clearly resected with VACORA rotation system under the screening of ultrasound, which is safe, minimal invasive, prosthetic, and has little complications.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of GP combined with cervus blood granule in treating advanced non -small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ) after chemotherapy.Methods Eighty patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups by digital table method.In the combined group,forty patients were trea-ted by GP combined with cervus blood granule.In the control group,forty patients were treated by GP alone.All the patients were tested routine blood in the seventh and tenth day.The value of platelet was recorded,the incidence of thrombocytopenia between two groups was compared.Results At the seventh day of chemotherapy,in the control group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ found in 5 cases,2 cases of thrombocytopeniaⅡ,1 case of thrombocytopeniaⅢ,thrombo-cytopenia Ⅳ in 1 case.In the combined group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ occurred in 3 cases,1 case of thrombocytopeniaⅡ,no grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(Z=-1.259,P=0.208).At the tenth day of chemotherapy,in the control group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ found in 6 cases, 3 cases of thrombocytopenia Ⅱ,1 case of thrombocytopenia Ⅲ,thrombocytopenia Ⅳ in 1 case.In the combined group,4 cases occurred thrombocytopenia Ⅰ,thrombocytopenia Ⅱ in 1 case,no grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(Z=-1.966,P=0.049).Conclusion Cervus blood granule combined with GP can effectively reduce the classification of thrombocytopenia caused by chemotherapy.To some extent,it can also prevent the happening of the thrombocytopenia.

Objective To investigate the correlation and significance of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)and the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) expressions in non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Methods Ten patients with reactive lymph nodes (RLN) were considered as a control group. Compared with β-actin as internal control, the BCRP mRNA expressions of 61 NHL samples and 10 lymph tissues in control group were detected by semi-quantitative revere transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, while the expressions of COX-2 protein of the above specimens were detected by SP immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of COX-2 and BCRP in NHL were 50.8 %(31/61) and 45.8 % (28/61), respectively , and were higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.05). The expression of COX-2 was statistically positive correlated to that of BCRP (X2 =8.795, r=0.355, P＜0.05). The expressions of COX-2 and BCRP were not correlated to clinical and pathological factors, such as age, sex, IPI, LDH, β2-microglobulin level and Ann Arbor stage, however, the expression of BCRP was statistically correlated to chemotherapy efficacy.Conclusion BCRP may be involved in multi-drug resistance (MDR) of NHL, so it may contribute to the assessment of chemotherapy and prediction of NHL. Since there is a strong correlation between COX-2 expression and MDR in NHL, the application of COX-2 inhibitors may enhance sensitivity of chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic significance of plasma fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) before any anti-cancer treatments.Methods:97 cases of patients with lung cancer (lung cancer group) and 36 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled;the level of plasma D-dimer and FIB were compared;the relationship between their levels and clinical pathological factors of NSCLC as well as prognosis was analyzed.Results:The levels of plasma FIB and D-dimer in lung cancer group were higher than those in healthy control group (P＜0.05).FIB in lung cancer group was related to TNM stage,and D-dimer was related to lymph node metastasis and TNM stage.Univariate analysis showed that FIB,D-dimer,tumor size,lymph node metastasis and TNM staging were associated with overall survival time (OS) and progression free survival (PFS).Multivariate analysis revealed that only D-dimer and FIB were independent prognostic factors of patients with NSCLC.Conclusion:Detection of fibrinogen and D-dimer in elderly patients with NSCLC before anti-cancer treatment would be useful for prognosis and might provide a certain value for individualized therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of propofol on expression of synaptophysin (SYP) mRNA and protein in the hippocampus of mentally depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) .Methods Fifty adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10 each): group Ⅰ control (group C); group D mental depression (group D) ; group Ⅲ , Ⅳ , Ⅴ propofol 90, 110, 130 mg/kg + ECT (group M_1, M_2, M_3). Mental depression was induced by isolation and chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ . Group M_1 , M_2 and M_3 received intraperitoneal (IP) propofol 90, 110 and 130 mg/kg respectively + ECT once a day ×7 consecutive days while group C and D received IP normal saline instead of propofol. The rats underwent open field test and sucrose liquid consumption test the day before and after mental depression was established and one day after treatment. The rats were killed after the last test for determination of expression of SYP mRNA (by RT-PCR) and protein (by immuno-histochemistry) in the hippocampus. Results The ambulation scores, rearing scores, grooming time and sucrose consumption percentage were significantly decreased while the center,grid detention time (CDT) was significantly increased in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ as compared with control group indicating mental depression was successfully induced. The ambulation scores, rearing scores, grooming time, sucrose consumption percentage, SYP mRNA and protein expression were significantly increased while CDT was significantly decreased after treatment in group M_1 and M_2 as compared with group D indicating that propofol 90 or 110 mg/kg combined with ECT was effective for the treatment of mental depression.Conclusion Propofol 90 or 110 mg/kg combined with ECT is effective in treating mental depression while proprofol 130 mg/kg combined with ECT is not. Excessive inhibition of SYP expression in hippocampus by large dose of propofol may explain the mechanism.`

Objective To explore the effect of MECT on learning memory in depressed rats and its synaptic plasticity mechanism. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups( n =10): MECT (received ECT with intraperitoneal propofol), ECT (received ECT only), propofol (received intraperitoneal propofol), depression, and control. The treatments were given daily for 7 consecutive days. All rats underwent open field and Morris water maze test. The SYP protein and mRNA expressions in rat hippocampus were detected using immunochemistry and RT-PCR, respectively. Results After treatment, the open field scores were much higher in MECT and ECT groups than in propofol and depression groups ( P <0.05); the learning memory was worse in ECT group than in MECT, propofol and depression groups ( P <0.05); the expressions of SYP protein and mRNA was higher in MECT and ECT groups than in propofol and depression groups ( P <0.05), the expressions of SYP protein and mRNA were lower in MECT group than ECT group ( P <0.05). Conclusions Propofol can improve learning memory in ECT-treated depressed rats through attenuation of ECT-induced expression of SYP in rat hippocampus.

Objective To evaluate the effect of islet transplantation for patients with type 2diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Since December 2007, 4 cases of islet transplantations were performed on 3 patients with type 2 DM and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Two patients received simultaneous islet-kidney transplant from single-donor (SIK), and one received 2 consecutive islet transplants 5 months following kidney transplantion (IAK). All recipients given insulin with a dose of percutaneous transhepatic portal catheterization. Anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody was used as induction. For SIK, low-doses of Tacrolimus and sirolimus were used as maintenance immunosuppression protocol. For IAK, the maintenance protocol included cyclosporine and MMF.Insulin dose, the level of blood glucose, C-peptide and the value of HbA1 were observed. Results The first patient of SIKhad normal glucose level 3 days after surgery and became insulin independent within the first month, but insulin was administered gradually and the dose reduced to 1/3. The second patient of SIK died of bleeding and secondary infection of liver puncture site 5 days following operation, the blood glucose level recovered to normal 24 h after operation. The insulin dose of the patient of IAK was reduced to 1/2 after the first transplant. The patient became insulin free after the second operation. The level of fasting and postprandial C-peptide of the surviving recipients increased by 600 pmol/L. The value of HbA1 of the SIK was 6.7 %～7.3 %, while that of the IAK was 5. 5 %～ 5. 9 %. Conclusion Islet transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with type 2 DM.

Objective To assess the association of synovial cyclic citrullinated peptide(CCP)expression with T helper 17(Th17) cells/Regulatory T cells (Treg) imbalance,the histological and clinical features of synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods CCP expression in synovial specimens from 39 patients with RA and 35 controls was detected by immunohistochemistry assay(IH) using 6×His tagged anti-CCP single chain fragment V (ScFv) antibodies,which were generated by pHEN2 phagemid recombinant antibodies display system.The frequencies of Th17/Treg cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined by flow cytometry (FCM).Th17/Treg cells associated cytokines were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The histological scores and clinical features of synovitis were included in the study.Chi-square test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.Results ① The prevalences of synovial C CP expression were significantly different between RA group and the control(76.9％ and 11.4％ respectively,X2=31.9,P＜0.01).② The frequencies of Th17 cells,Th17/Treg ratio,Th17 cells associated cytokines as IL-6,IL-17a,IL-23,TNF-α,and the Treg cells associated cytokines TGF-31,the serum and synovial fluid anti-CCP antibodies in the RA patients with synovial CCP positive expression were significantly higher in RA patients with CCP positive than those with CCP negative.Disease activity score DAS28 index and histological features quantified variations of the synovial biopsy specimens (synoviocyte hyperplasia,focal aggregates of lymphocytes,and diffuse infiltrat(e)s of lymphocytes) in RA were higher in synovial CCP positive expression patients than in the negative.Conclusion Synovial CCP expression is strongly associated with the Th17/Treg imbalance and synovitis,which may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of RA.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of witnessing domestic violence,and to explore the relationship between witness domestic violence in childhood and college students’ injury and violence behaviors. Methods: In October 2018, self-made questionnaire on “Health and Risky Behaviors among University Students in Anhui Province” was conducted among 4 034 college students from 4 universities in Hefei. Multivariate Logistic regression models (control of confounding factors) were used to explore the impact of childhood witnessing domestic violence on college students’ injury and violence. Results: Among 4 034 college students,the prevalence of witnessing domestic emotional violence,mild physical violence and severe physical violence in childhood was 27.6%,22.4%,10.7%,respectively. Univariate analysis showed that students with experiences of witness domestic emotional violence,mild physical violence and severe physical violence had higher rates of self-injury,physical,emotional,and sexual violence compared to those without domestic violence witness(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that witnessing domestic severe physical violence,emotional violence in childhood associated positively with self-harm (OR=1.53,95%CI=1.05-2.23; OR=2.15,95%CI=1.51-3.04) and emotional violence (OR=1.65,95%CI=1.16-2.35; OR=2.57,95%CI=1.87-3.53). Witnessing domestic severe physical violence showed positive association with physical violence (OR=4.99,95%CI=2.58-9.62) and sexual violence (OR=8.68,95%CI=3.30-22.81) among college students (P<0.05). Conclusion The experiences of witness domestic violence can increases the risk of college student’s injury and violence behaviors,especially witness domestic severe physical violence.

Objective: To analyze the efficacy of recombinant activated factor Ⅶ a (rF Ⅶ a) on hematonosis with moderate or severe bleeding signs. Methods: Of total 16 cases with rF Ⅶ a treatment from May 2013 to May 2016, 8 cases received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (allo-HSCT) and the other were non-transplantation patients. In two groups, there was no significant difference on rF Ⅶ a usage and dosage. 15 patients with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allo-HSCT were control group (without rF Ⅶ a) . Results: ①The total response rate was 75.0% (6/8) in non-transplantation group and 37.5% (3/8) in transplantation group, respectively. Median interval for hemorrhage stop was 38.5 hours in non-transplantation group and 63.0 hours in transplantation group. The median overall survival (OS) was 201.0 and 29.0 days for non-transplantation group and transplantation group, respectively, and the OS rate was 50.0% (4/8) and 25.0% (2/8) , respectively. The bleeding-related mortality rate was 50.0% (2/4) and 83.3% (5/6) , respectively. ②Of the 16 cases, 9 showed response to rF Ⅶ a treatment and the other 7 cases’bleeding signs did not alleviate. The median OS was 268.0 in 9 cases with response and 24.0 days in 7 cases without response, respectively. ③In patients with intestinal aGVHD complicated with intestinal hemorrhage, the median OS of observation group (n=6) and control group (n=15) were 25.5 days and 20.0 days, respectively. Conclusion Patients with hematological diseases, especially patients after allo-HSCT, had high bleeding-related mortality, and rFⅦa therapy had a obvious hemostatic efficacy. The survival rate of patients with response was higher than that of cases without response. The causes of poor hemostasis efficacy of rF Ⅶ a therapy were associated with unsatisfactory control of complications in patients with intestinal bleeding after allo-HSCT.
