Objective To elucidate the mechanism of radiation resistant effect of LyGDI on NSCLC A549 cells.Methods A549 and H460 cells were irradiated with X-rays of 0,2,4 and 6 Gy.The clone-forming assay was used to detect cell survival and radiosensitivity.The expressions of LyGDI and COX-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2),a key radiosensitivity-related protein,were detected using Western blot.The miR-34 families were analyzed with RT-PCR.50 nmol/L mature miR-34c was transfected into A549 cells.Results The expression levels of LyGDI and COX-2 were much higher in radioresistive A549 cells than that in H460 cells.While the expression of miR-34a was quite low and miR-34b/c was hardly found in both NSCLC cells.Transfection of miR-34c into A549 cells strongly enhanced X-ray induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activations of LyGDI,COX-2,Bcl-2 and p21.Conclusions Up-regulation of LyGDI could induce COX-2 expression.The low expression of miR-34 family might be responsible for the radiation resistance of NSCLC cells.

Objective To study the effect of using handhold magnifier on reading speed in patients with low vision and normal-sighted people. Design Prospective,control study. Participants Low vision (13 patients)and normal-sighted readers (37 persons) who use handhold magnifiers or the first time. Method Nine-point text was read by normal vision subjects without magnifier and then with two magnifiers with different magnification (+10 D,+20 D) in different eye-to-magnifier distance (10 cm,35 cm). Nine-point text was also read by low vision people with magnifiers. The big printed text under the same magnification without magnifier was also read by low vision group. Reading speed was recorded. Main Outcome Measures Reading speed (words per minute). Result For normal vision subjects,reading speed without magnifier (194.6?45.2 words/min) is faster than that with a 10D magnifier in an eye-to-magnifier distance of 10cm (159.7?44.7 words/min) (P=0.001),and distance of 35cm (162.5?46.7words/min) (P=0.002),respectively. Reading speed without magnifier is also faster than that with a 20D magnifier in an eye-to-magnifier distance of 10cm (150.3?43.3 words/min) (P

Objective:To analyze the causes and influencing factors of conversion from laparoscopic surgery to laparotomy.Methods:To analyze and summarize the clinical data of 84 patients who converted to laparotomy in 16 203 cases of laparoscopic surgery from August 2017 to August 2020 in the Department of Gynecology of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, each patient converted to surgery was matched with 2 patients who underwent simple laparoscopic surgery. The patients were divided into conversion to laparotomy group (84 cases) and control group (168) cases, and analyze the influencing factors of laparoscopic conversion to laparotomy. χ 2 test or corrected χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method were used for the comparison of counting data between groups, and conditional regression analysis was used for the multivariate analysis of case control design. Results:The conversion rate of gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to laparotomy was 0.52%(84/16 203). The reasons for 84 cases of conversion from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery were as follows: pelvic adhesion 50.0%(42/84), unexpected malignant tumor 19.0%(16/84), tumor oversize or special shape and location 14.3%(12/84), hemostasis difficulty 7.1%(6/84), multiple uterine fibroids 3.5%(3/84), simultaneous surgery 3.5%(3/84), bladder injury 1.2%(1/84), and subcutaneous emphysema 1.2%(1/84) during the operation. There were no significant differences in body mass index and comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, thyroid disease) between the two groups (all P>0.05). And the history of endometriosis was 36.9% (31/84) and the history of pelvic surgery in the transperitoneal group was 60.7% (51/84) higher than that in the conversion to laparotomy group of 20.8% (35/84), 30.6% (51/84) (χ 2=7.482, 21.42, P=0.006). The results of conditional regression analysis showed that that surgical history( OR=3.979, 95% CI 2.010-7.874, P<0.001 and thyroid history ( OR=15.333, 95% CI 1.087-216.346, P=0.005) increased the risk of conversion to laparotomy; Hypertension history ( OR=0.203, 95% CI 0.067-0.622, P=0.005) reduced the risk of conversion to laparotomy. Further analysis of which operation type affected the conversion to laparotomy showed that cesarean section ( OR=2.105, 95% CI 1.109-4.351, P=0.044), myomectomy ( OR=11.605, 95% CI 3.306-40.735, P<0.001), and ovarian cyst removal ( OR=7.914, 95% CI 2.157-21.037, P=0.002) affected the conversion to laparotomy. Conclusion:The main reason for conversion from gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to laparotomy is pelvic adhesion. The history of surgery and thyroid disease are the risk factors for conversion to laparotomy. Among them, myomectomy and ovarian cyst removal are important factors for conversion to laparotomy. Before operation, appropriate clinical operation methods should be selected according to the patient's medical history and condition to ensure the patient's safety.
