Objective To assess the influence of the wall motion state and the infarct size of myocardial on left atrial(LA) function in patients with myocardial infarction(MI), and to investigate the main determinants of LA function. Methods LA function of the small area of MI group (group A), the large area of MI group (group B) and control.group were compared,and the influence of the infarct size on LA function was evaluated. The correlation between parameters of LA function and wall motion score index (WMSI) was analyzed. Stepwise regression was made to determine the influencing factors of LA function. index (VpreⅠ),LA active emptying volume index (AEVI), LA ejection force index (EFI) of group A and group B were larger than those of control group,and the parameters of group B were also larger than those of group A(P<0.05). LA passive emptying fraction (PEF) and atrial expansion index (AEI) of group A and group B were smaller than those of control group,and the parameters of group B were also smaller than regression equation. Conclusions With the increasing of areas of infarction and the aggravating of wall motion sate,the LA remodeling aggravated. The boost pump function of LA augmented, and the function of conduit and reservoir of LA was reduced. Wall motion state, LV remodeling and LV diastolic function were the major determinants of augmented LA function in MI patients.

Objective To discuss the effective methods to improve the teaching effect of Basis of Nursing and cultivation of high-quality persons. Methods We randomly divided 87 nursing students into the test group(42 eases) ,which adopt the combination of grouped scene teaching with role-playing teaching and the control group (45 cases),which received routine teaching methods.The effect of the two teaching methods was evaluated by questionnaires. Results The total score and the score of each section of the questionnaires in the test group were higher than those of the control group(P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The combination of scene teaching with role-playing teaching could inspire students' interest,strengthen the role consciousness and improve their comprehensive quality.

Objective To explore the clinical and laboratory characteristics of chronic B lymphocyte proliferation disease (B-CLPD) without typical lymphoid proliferation. Methods The clinical records of patients with B-CLPD only characterized by pancytopenia form January 2007 to March 2016 in hematology department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People ' s Hospital were collected, and the cell morphology, bone marrow pathology, cytogenetics and molecular characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Results The median age of 11 patients was 68 years old. The lymphocyte ratio of peripheral blood smears in all patients increased in different level (0.36-0.68), but absolute lymphocyte count was normal or decreased (0.59×109-1.99×109). Lymphocyte-like plasma cell or small numbers of plasma cell can be seen in the bone marrow smears of 4 cases and lymphocytes with irregular burr-like protrusions were observed in 2 cases while there were no characteristic morphological changes in remained 5 cases. Immunophenotypical analysis showed that all patients expressed CD19, CD20, CD22, SmIg, not expressed CD5, CD10 which with scores of 0-2 according to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) points system;CD103, CD11C, CD25 and FMC7 were highly expressed in 2 cases while there were no characteristic expression in remaining cases. There were no abnormal karyotypes observed from the conventional cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis (both of IgH/CCND1, bcl-2/IgH were negative) in all patients. 8 patients were found IgH gene rearrangement, MYD88L256P and BRAF V600E was positive in 5 cases and 2 cases respectively. 5 cases were diagnosed as Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, 3 cases were B-CLPD, 2 cases were hairy cell leukemia, 1 case was nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma after comprehensive analysis of their clinical and laboratory data. Conclusion Even if there are no increased peripheral blood lymphocytes in pancytopenia patients, it is necessary to perform bone marrow smears, immunophenotyping, IgH gene rearrangement, cytogenetics and other molecular laboratory tests to exclude B-CLPD, and reduce misdiagnosis.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a slowly progressing hematopoietic cell disorder. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) plays established roles in tumor initiation, progression, and chemotherapy resistance in a wide range of cancers, including leukemia.However, small-molecule inhibitors targeting SPHK1 in CML still need to be developed. This study revealed the role of SPHK1 in CML and investigated the potential anti-leukemic activity of hirsuteine (HST), an indole alkaloid obtained from the oriental plant Uncaria rhynchophylla, in CML cells. These results suggest that SPHK1 is highly expressed in CML cells and that overexpression of SPHK1 represents poor clinical outcomes in CML patients. HST exposure led to G2/M phase arrest, cellular apoptosis, and downregulation of Cyclin B1 and CDC2 and cleavage of Caspase 3 and PARP in CML cells. HST shifted sphingolipid rheostat from sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) towards the ceramide coupled with a marked inhibition of SPHK1. Mechanistically, HST significantly blocked SPHK1/S1P/S1PR1 and BCR-ABL/PI3K/Akt pathways. In addition, HST can be docked with residues of SPHK1 and shifts the SPHK1 melting curve, indicating the potential protein-ligand interactions between SPHK1 and HST in both CML cells. SPHK1 overexpression impaired apoptosis and proliferation of CML cells induced by HST alone. These results suggest that HST, which may serve as a novel and specific SPHK1 inhibitor, exerts anti-leukemic activity by inhibiting the SPHK1/S1P/ S1PR1 and BCR-ABL/PI3K/Akt pathways in CML cells, thus conferring HST as a promising anti-leukemic drug for CML therapy in the future.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of urinary incontinence (UI) in China by using random forest algorithm, and to evaluate the predictive effect of each risk factor on UI.Methods:A baseline survey with a multistage stratified cluster sampling design was conducted between February 2014 and January 2016, and followed up by telephone from June to December 2018. A total of 55 477 adult women from six provinces of China participated the survey. According to the ratio of 1:1, under sampling method was used to randomly select the same number of women as UI from the non UI women. The data were randomly divided into training set and verification set according to 7:3. The training set was used to establish the random forest model, which including the candidate variables with P<0.2 in univariate analysis, and the verification set was used to verify the predictive effects. Results:A total of 30 658 patients (55.26%, 30 658/55 477) completed the follow-up, the median follow-up time was 3.7 years. Among the 24 985 women without UI at baseline, 1 757 (7.03%, 1 757/24 985) had UI at followed up, including 1 117 (4.47%, 1 117/24 985) with stress UI, 243 (0.97%, 243/24 985) with urgency UI and 397 (1.59%, 397/24 985) with mixed UI. When fixed the number of features as 2 and the number of random trees as 300 in the random forest model, the out of bag error rate estimation was the lowest; with such parameter settings, the classification accuracy was 64.3%, the sensitivity was 64.2%, and the specificity was 64.4%. The top10 predictive UI factors that screening by the variable importance measure in random forest model were obtained as follows: age, parity, delivery pattern, body mass index (BMI), menopause, history of diabetes, education level, history of pelvic surgery, regions, and marital status.Conclusion:We identified the top10 predictive UI factors that screening by the variable importance in random forest model as follows: age, parity, delivery pattern, BMI, menopause, history of diabetes, education level, history of pelvic surgery, regions, and marital status.
