Objective To analyze the change of surgical route and range of hysterectomy in the past 10 years.Methods From January 2000 to December 2010,the clinical data of patients with hysterectomy were analyzed retrospectively,including clinical features,surgical path and scope of operation.Results There were 1980 patients.The predominant reason for hysterectomy was leiomyomas (52.88％,1047/1980),adenomyosis (17.78％,352/1980),cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (12.17％,241/1980).The age of the patients with hysterectomy for abdominal,transvaginal and laparoscopic was (46.54 ± 7.35),(58.73 ± 10.49),(44.10 ±5.12) years.In 2000-2005,the proportion of abdominal,transvaginal and laparoscopic proportion were 81.78％ (615/752),8.64％ (65/752) and 9.57％ (72/752).In 2006-2010 were 64.50％ (792/1228),6.51％ (80/1228) and 28.99％ (356/1228).In 2006-2010,the proportion of abdominal significantly decreased and laparoscopic significantly rised compared with those in 2000-2005,there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.01).In 2000-2005,unilateral and bilateral annex removal ratios were 15.43％ (116/752),12.23％ (92/752),in 2006-2010 were 8.63％ (106/1228),7.49％(92/1228).Unilateral and bilateral annex removal ratios in 2006-2010 were significantly lower than those in 2000-2005,there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Over the past 10 years,hysterectomy route and range changed with the percentage of laparoscopic increasing,and concomitant unilateral or bilateral annex removal decreased.

Objective To compare the effects of 6MV and 10MV-X-ray intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . Methods We randomly selected 20 patients with NSCLC, 6MV and 10MV X-ray were used respectively for each NSCLC patient with IMRT plan design, the ADAC Pinnacle 8.0f treatment planning system was applied to provide the convolution/iteration algorithm, for the same target IMRT plan design with two kinds of energy. By comparing the dose volume histogram (DVH),PTV parameter (Dmean, Dmin and Dmax), conformal index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI),we analyzed the metrology parameters . Results 6MV and 10MV radiation therapy plan DVH, PTV parameters,CI,HI and isodose line was similar,no statistically significant differences. But target dose homogeneity and the degree of target coverage in high dose of 6MV plan was better than that in 10MV plan. Endanger organs (OAR) such as normal lung tissue, heart, esophagus and spinal cord had basically same dose amount. Conclusion 6MV X-ray plan may be the better choice of radiotherapy on NSCLC.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway Classic (CLMA), Streamlined Liner of Pharyngeal Airway (SLIPA) and laryngeal mask airway ProSeal (PLMA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty-three ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-64 yr undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into 3 groups: CLMA group (group C, n =41 ), SLIPA group (group S, n =42) and PLMA group (group P, n =40). Laryngeal mask was inserted after induction of anesthesia with sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg, atracurium 0.5 mg/kg and propofol 2 mg/kg. Mll the patients were ventilated with intermittent positive-pressure ventilation. Anesthesia was maintained with contiunous infusion of propofol 6-8 mg· kg-1· h-1 and with supplementary administration of sufentsnil 0.1-0.2 μg/kg and atracurium 0.2 mg/kg as required. The degree of difficulty in inserting the laryngeal mask was evaluated. The rate of successful placement at first attempt, device placement time, recovery time and complications were recorded . Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP were recorded before pneumoperitoneum and when intra-abdominal pressure achieved 12 mm Hg. Results The placement was easier and the placement time and recovery time were significantly shorter in group S, and the placement time was significantly longer,the airway sealing pressure was significantly higher and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP was lower in group P than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05). The placement time and recovery time were significantly longer, the placement was harder, the airway sealing pressure was significantly higher, and the number of patients with an airway sealing pressure less than PIP was lower in group P than in group S ( P ＜ 0.05). PIP was significantiy higher when intra-abdominal pressure achieved 12 mm Hg than that before pneumoperitoneum in all the three groups ( P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and rate of successful placement at first attempt among the three groups ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion All the three airway devices can provide adequate ventilation during operation, with fewer complications. SLIPA placement is easiest. PLMA can assure good airway sealing and is most suitable for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

CMV,HHV-6,HHV-7 and HHV-8 DNA in unstimulated whole saliva from 245 HIV-infected subjects and 30 healthy controls were examined by nested-PCR assays.Prevalence of CMV,HHV-6,HHV-7 and HHV-8 in saliva of HIV-infected subjects was 34.7%, 83.3%,70.2% and 14.3% respectively,that of the controls 10.0%,56.7%,70.0% and 0% respectively(between 2 groups,P <0.01).There was no difference of detection rates of the four HHVs in saliva between HIV patients with HAART(n =100)and non-HAART (n =145)(P >0.05).Multi-infection was observed in all subject.

Objective To summarize the clinical features of mercury poisoning diagnosed by blood and urine tests for improving the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods Poisoning causes,clinical manifestations,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis were retrospectively reviewed in 92 in-patients with mercury poisoning in our hospital from January 2000 to April 2010.Results Of the 92 patients,37 were male and 55 were female with an average age of 33.1(2-65)years old.The mercury poisoning was caused by occupational exposure and non-occupational exposure,such as iatrogenic exposure,life exposure and wrong intake or suicidal intake of mercury-containing substances,mainly through respiratory tract,digestive tract and skin absorption.The most common clinical symptoms were as the followings:nervous system symptom,such as memory loss in 50 eases(54.3%),fatigue in 34(37.0%),numb limb in 25 (27.2%),dizziness and headache in 22(23.9%),cacesthesia in 20(21.7%),fine tremor(finger tip,tongue tip,eyelids)in 15(16.3%),insomnia and more dreams in 12(13.0%);gastrointestinal symptoms:nausea in 16 (17.4%),abdominal pain in 14(15.2%),stomatitis in 5(5.4%);joint and muscle symptoms:muscle pain in 16(17.4%),joint pain in 5(5.4%);cardiovaseular system:chest tightness,hean palpitations in 6(6.5%);urinary system:edema in 9(9.8%);other system:hidrosis in 20(21.7%).After the treatment with sodium dimercaptopropane sulfonate (DMPS),the symptoms were gradually alleviated.Their gastrointestinal,cardiovascular symptoms were alleviated within 2 weeks;neurological symptoms were alleviated within 3 months;kidney damage showed a slower recovery and could be completely'alleviated within 6 months.Conclusions Because of its diverse clinical symptoms,the mercury poisoning was easy to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis:therefore the awareness of the disease should be further enhanced.Leaving from the poisoning environment timely and giving appropriate treatment with DMPS will lead to a satisfactory prognosis.

Primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease (PPNAD) is a kind of autosomal dominant inherited disease. Patient in the study presented with Cushing's syndrome, and clinical and pathological diagnosis of PPNAD was confirmed. It is now confirmed that there are two relevant genes and their mutations may lead to PPNAD. This study showed no mutations in the patient, surpecting if there would be an alternative mechanism or a new gene in playing the role.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the ultra microstructures and the expression of platelet peroxidase (PPO) of megakaryocytes from bone marrow, their clinical manifestations and laboratory characteristics in patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL).

METHODSKaryocytes from bone marrow of 22 AMKL patients were divided into two parts by lymphocyte separation liquid, one part was used to prepare the ordinary transmission electron microscope specimens to observe the morphological structures of megakaryocytes, the other was used to prepare the histochemical specimens of platelet peroxidase to analyze the positive reaction of PPO in AMKL, which were coupled with the patients' data of with bone marrow morphology, cell chemistry, and chromosome karyotype examination.

RESULTSMegakaryocytes from 17 of 22 patients were in the first stage, less than 20 µm in diameter, the nucleis were round, the cytoplasm contained microtubules, membranous vesicles and minute dense granules, no demarcation membrane system and surface-connected canalicular system, less dense granules and α-granules; Megakaryocytes in 5 cases were mainly in the first stage, while containing second and third stage megakaryocytes; the positive rate of PPO in megakaryocytes of 22 patients was 0-80%. The primitive and naive megakaryocytes were found in bone marrow smears of 22 cases, CD41 staining of the megakaryocytes was detected in the primitive and naive megakaryocytes, and more complex chromosome karyotype anomalies were observed.

CONCLUSIONThe majority of megakaryocytes in AMKL patients were the first stage ones, the rest were second and third stage ones, and the positive PPO reaction was significantly different. CD41 staining of the megakaryocytes was specific with complex chromosome karyotypeswere.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ligand of numb-protein X1(LNX1)on the proliferation,invasion and migration of renal clear cell carcinoma cells and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods:Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA)database was used to analyze the mRNA expression level of LNX1 in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with renal clear cell carcinoma.LNX1 gene specific shRNA(shLNX1)was delivered into renal clear cell carcinoma cell lines 786-O and ACHN by lentiviral infection,and flag-LNX1 plasmid was delivered into 786-O and ACHN cells by transient transfection.CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were used to assess the effects of LNX1 silencing or overexpression on the proliferation of 786-O and ACHN cells.Transwell assay was used to evaluate the effects of LNX1 silencing or overexpression on the invasion and migration of 786-O and ACHN cells.Bioinformatics analysis was used to screen the downstream target genes of LNX1.Western blotting was used to examine the effects of LNX1 silencing or overexpression on the expression level of T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing protein 1(TIAM1)as well as the expression levels of total and phosphorylated ERK(phospho-ERK,p-ERK)in the ERK signaling pathway downstream of TIAM1 in 786-O and ACHN cells.786-O and ACHN cells overexpressing LNX1 were treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132,and the protein expression level of TIAM1 was analyzed by Western blotting.Finally,myc-TIAM1 recombinant plasmid was transfected into LNX1-overexpressing cells.Then,the expression levels of proteins in the ERK signaling pathway and the abilities of proliferation,invasion and migration of 786-O and ACHN cells were examined by Western blotting,colony formation assay and Transwell assay,respectively. Results:The mRNA expression level of LNX1 in renal clear cell carcinoma tissue was decreased(P＜0.05)and was positively correlated with the survival time of patients with renal clear cell carcinoma(P＜0.001).LNX1-silencing 786-O and ACHN cells and LNX1-overexpressing 786-O and ACHN cells were constructed successfully.After LNX1 silencing,the proliferation,invasion and migration of 786-O and ACHN cells were significantly enhanced(all P＜0.05).After LNX1 overexpression,the abilities of proliferation,invasion and migration of 786-O and ACHN cells were significantly decreased(all P＜0.05).Bioinformatics analysis identified TIAM1 as a potential target of LNX1.After silencing LNX1,the protein expression levels of TIAM1 and p-ERK were significantly increased(all P＜0.05),while the expression level of ERK remained unchanged.After LNX1 overexpression,the protein expression levels of TIAM1 and p-ERKwere significantly decreased(all P＜0.01),while the expression level of ERK was unchanged.Treatment with proteasome inhibitor MG132 increased the protein expression level of TIAM1 in LNX1-overexpressing 786-O and ACHN cells(P＜0.01 and P＜0.001).After LNX1-overexpressing cells were transfected with myc-TIAM1 plasmid,the protein expression level of p-ERK was increased,the abilities of cell proliferation,invasion and migration were enhanced(all P＜0.05),and the expression level of ERK protein remained unchanged. Conclusion:LNX1 inhibits the proliferation,invasion and migration of renal clear cell carcinoma cells by degrading TIAM1 which further regulates the phosphorylation of ERK.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of left ventricular myocardial strain obtained by cardiac MR (CMR) in recent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:From January 2020 to December 2020, a total of 163 patients successfully underwent primary PCI and underwent CMR examination within one week after surgery at Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. The scan sequences included rapid balance-fast field echo and late-gadolinium enhancement. CVI42 post-processing software was used to analyze and measure the left ventricular myocardial strain indices, including left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), left ventricular global circumferential strain (GCS), and left ventricular global radial strain (GRS). According to the results of the 1-year follow-up after surgery, the patients were divided into the MACE group ( n=28) and the non-MACE group ( n=135). For continuous variables with a normal distribution, the t test of two independent samples was used for comparisons between groups. For continuous variables with an abnormal distribution, the variables were compared and analyzed by the rank sum test. For categorical variables, the χ 2 tests were used for between-group comparisons. Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic value of myocardial strain on the development of MACE in patients with STEMI. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of myocardial strain parameters, and the optimal cut-off value was evaluated by calculating the Youden index. Results:The GLS, GCS, and GRS of the MACE group were (-10.4±3.3)%, [-11.9 (-14.5, -9.3)]%, and (18.3±6.3)%, respectively, and those of the non-MACE group were (-13.7±3.4)%, [-14.6 (-16.4, -11.7)]%, and (22.3±6.1)%, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t/ Z=-4.71, -3.04, 3.21, P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that GLS was an independent predictor of MACE (HR=1.546, 95%CI 1.180-2.027, P=0.002). The ROC curve analysis showed that GLS had the largest area under the curve (AUC) (AUC=0.754, 95%CI 0.658-0.851, P<0.001), with a cut-off value of -12.45%. Its diagnostic sensitivity was 71.4%, and the specificity was 67.4%. The value was better than that of the traditional predictor of STEMI prognosis, namely, left ventricular ejection fraction (AUC=0.680, 95%CI 0.567-0.793, P=0.003). Conclusion:GLS of CMR is an independent predictor of MACE in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

Objective: To investigate the sleep quality at home and the influencing factors in patients with colorectal tumor after enterostomy. Methods: Using convenience sampling method, during March 2016 to December 2017 in Anhui Provincial Cancer Hospital wound and stoma outpatient, choose 276 patients with enterostomy (including temporary enterostomy and permanent enterostomy), using self-made general questionnaire ostomy, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and self nursing competence scale to investigate them. Results: The total PSQI score of enterostomy patients was 6.39±4.07, among which 150 patients (57.0%) had poor sleep (PSQI>7). The score of the 7 dimensions of PSQI from high to low was sleep time (1.22±1.05), sleep time (1.12±0.98), subjective sleep quality (1.00 ±0.92), sleep disorder (1.02±0.95), sleep efficiency (0.95±0.43), daytime dysfunction (0.83±0.76), hypnotic drugs (0.25±0.24).There were statistically significant differences in sleep quality among patients with different ages (Z=-2.937), duration of stoma (t=3.450-3.896), types of stoma (t=3.998-4.011), whether or not they had a history of leakage within 1 month (t=3.454-6.774), whether or not they had bloating bags (t=3.230-4.001), stoma complications (t=2.976-3.582), enterostomy self-care knowledge (Z=-3.202, t=3.971) and nursing skills (t=3.061)(P<0.05). Conclusions The present study shows that the sleep quality of patients with enterostomy is generally poor, and targeted measures should be taken to reduce its incidence or to intervene in time.
