Objective To study the relationship of apoptosis-related gene Survivin with Bcl-2,Bax protein in adenomyosis.Methods The expressions of Survivin,Bcl-2 and Bax protein were deteeted by immunohistochemical method(SP)in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis from 46 cases,and compared with that in eutopic endometrium from endometrium 30 cases without adenomyosis.Results The expression rate of Survivin protein in ectopic endometrium of adenomyosis was much higher than that in normal endometrial cells.The Survivin was positively corelated to Bcl-2,negatively to Bax.Conclusion Survivin may play an important role in pathogenesis of adenomyosis.With Survivin gene,apoptosis-related gene Bcl-2 may have a synergic role and Bax have an antagonistic role in the formation and progression of adenomyosis.

Objective To assess the feasibility of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in renal artery using the iterative reconstruction technique (iDose4) in Brilliance iCT (Philips Ltd.).Methods 90 patients (body weight 60-70 kg) supposed to undergo renal artery CTA were selected and randomly divided into three groups:A(120 kV,120 mAs),B(120 kV,60 mAs) and C(100 kV,100 mAs).CTA images from Group A were obtained using filtered back projection and those from the rest groups were generated by iDose4.Then CT number of renal artery,noise (denoted as standard deviation SD),signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of images for each group were measured and recorded.Images were post-processed using volume reformation (VR) 3D imaging and image quality were assessed in five-level grade (1-5).Results The five parameters (CT number of renal artery,SD value,SNR,CNR and VR grade) of group A and group B were statistically insignificant (P ＞ 0.05).While SD values of group C were comparable to those of group A and B,the rest four parameters of group C were apparently larger,which was statistically significant (tCT value =-12.326,tSNR =-7.136,tCNR =-7.649,ZVR =-2.690,PVR ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Image quality could still fit the diagnosis requirements using iDose4 when mAs decreased lower than 50％.The image quality increases when radiation dose is halved at 100 kVp kV.

Objective To explore the effects of different flushing and sealing procedures on blood pressure fluc-tuation in patients receiving norepinephrine(NE) via micro-pump. Methods A total of 40 cases of critically ill pa-tients receiving intravenous infusion of NE via micro-pump,were randomly divided into two groups(20 cases in each group) from March to September,2016. For the experimental group,the liquid medicine in central venous catheter was sucked out,followed by flushing or sealing the tube according to conventional operation method. For the control group,conventional operation method was used to flush or seal the tube. The effects of two methods on arterial blood pressure were compared. Results Overall 423 flushing and sealing events were recorded among 40 cases in this study (209 in the experimental group and 214 in the control group). The fluctuation of blood pressure was small in the experimental group,while patients in the control group had significant fluctuation of blood pressure(P<0.05). Conclusion The new method that sucking liquid medicine out of the central venous catheter before flush-ing or sealing the tube followed by flushing or sealing using conventional operation method can reduce the risk of sudden increase in blood pressure for patients receiving small dose infusion with micro-pump.

Objective To explore the efficacy of process management on bladder function among traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients admitted to intensive rehabilitation and care unit (IRCU). Methods 33 cases were collected to control group who were cared with routing nursing during February, 2011 to December, 2012. Other 39 cases were recruited to trial group cared with process management of bladder function during January, 2013 to December, 2014. Process management of bladder function contained the establishment of process manage-ment guide, evaluation of removing catheter, nursing of bladder based on residue of urine volume and keeping a diary of urination, etc. Re-sults There were more cases with residue of urine volume less than 100 ml and less with catheter associated urinary tract infection in the tri-al group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Process management of bladder function can improve the recovery of bladder func-tion of TBI patients, shorten rehabilitation time and decrease the risk of catheter associated urinary tract infection.

Objective To observe the effect of rehabilitation gymnastics with music on non-incisional pain of gynecological patients after laparoscopic operation.Methods 192 gynecological patients undergone laparoscopic operation were divided into the music group (66 cases, adopted rehabilitation gymnastics matching music after operation), non-music group (64 cases, adopted rehabilitation gymnastics) and routine group (62 cases, adopted routine nursing without rehabilitation gymnastics or music).Results The patients of the music group got pain eased more obviously than those of the non-music group and rule group ( P<0.05).Conclusion The rehabilitation gymnastics with music can relieve non-incisional pain after gynecological laparoscopic operation, and improve anus exhausting.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging for providing quantitative information about angiogenesis in patients with lung carcinoma and investigate the correlation of CTP enhancement parameters and histological microvessel density (MVD) with lymphatic involvement in peripheral lung carcinoma. MethodsFifty-three patients with pathology-proved peripheral lung carcinoma underwent CT perfusion scan before operation. The enhancement parameters of CTP were calculated based on the time-density curves (TDC) of fist pass phase. All cases were classified into two groups according to pathologic results: tumor with and without lymph node involvement. Two-sample t test was used for the statistics. The ROC curve was used to assess the efficiency of the enhancement parameters of CT perfusion and MVD for predicting lymphatic involvement.Results Tumors with lymph node involvement had significantly higher value of MVD than those without lymph node involvement (64.69±16.34 and 42.67± 16.78, respectively,t=4.84,P<0.01). Tumors with lymph node involvement had significantly higher value of CTP enhancement parameters (PH, M/A, PV) than those without lymph node involvement [PH= (41.79±15.50) and (29.99±10.91) HU,M/A =0.24±0.09 and 0.15±0.06, PV=(2.14±1.09) and (1.27±0.53) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1), t=3.21,3.95, 3.66, P<0.01, respectively]. The CTP enhancement parameters (PH, M/A, PV) of lung cancer correlated positively with the MVD, the highest correlation coefficient was between the PV and MVD (r=0.716, P<0.01). MVD and PV had higher values for predicting lymph node involvement in ROC curve analysis.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for predicting lymph node involvement were 80.8%, 81.5% and 81.1% or 84.6% ,85.2% and 84.9% respectively if MVD>52/0.74 mm~2 or PV>1.52 ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1). ConclusionThe CT perfusion PV and histological MVD have good correlation with lymph node involvement in peripheral lung carcinoma and are important predicting parameters before operation.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in gastric carcinoma. Methods Pathological data of 127 patients with gastric carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. HER2 expressions of all patients were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). 119 (93.7 %) patients were undergone R0 dissection and 123 (96.9 %) cases received D2 lymph nodes dissection. 51 (40.2 %) patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. The proportional differences of clinicopathological features for patients between HER2-positive and HER2-negative were compared, including the patients' survival. Results HER2 overexpression rate was 8.7 % (11/127) in gastric carcinoma patients. For the patients with HER2-positive and HER-negative, the lymph node metastasis rates were 100.0 % (11/11) and 81.9 % (95/116), respectively (P= 0.041). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates for HER2-positive and HER2- negative patients with gastric carcinoma were 32.7 % and 42.9 % (P=0.413), and the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) rates were 27.3 % and 42.2 % (P = 0.354), respectively. Among patients with HER2-negative, 3-year OS rate for patients with surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy was 55.3%, compared with 35.4%for patients with surgery alone (P=0.015), and the 3-year PFS rates were 53.3 % and 35.3 % (P= 0.038), respectively. Among patients with HER2-positive patients, 3-year OS rate for patients with surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy was 0, compared with 75.0%for patients with surgery alone (P=0.002), and the 3-year PFS rates were 0 and 60.0% (P=0.004). Conclusions HER2 is expressed in gastric carcinoma tissue, related to lymph node metastasis. HER2 status are not correlated with the prognosis for gastric carcinoma patients, however, it is likely to be a predictive marker for adjuvant treatment after surgery for patients with gastric carcinoma.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)has developed into the most common chronic liver disease and can lead to liver cancer.Our laboratory previously developed a novel prescription for NAFLD,"Eight Zhes Decoction"(EZD),which has shown good curative effects in clinical practice.However,the pharmaco-dynamic material basis and mechanism have not yet been revealed.A strategy integrating lipidomics,network pharmacology and pharmacokinetics was used to reveal the active components and mecha-nisms of EZD against NAFLD.The histopathological results showed that EZD attenuated the degrees of collagen deposition and steatosis in the livers of nonalcoholic steatofibrosis model mice.Furthermore,glycerophospholipid metabolism,arachidonic acid metabolism,glycerolipid metabolism and linoleic acid metabolism with phospholipase A2 group IVA(PLA2G4A)and cytochrome P450 as the core targets and 12,13-cis-epoxyoctadecenoic acid,12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid,leukotriene B4,prostaglandin E2,phosphatidylcholines(PCs)and triacylglycerols(TGs)as the main lipids were found to be involved in the treatment of NAFLD by EZD.Importantly,naringenin,artemetin,canadine,and bicuculline were iden-tified as the active ingredients of EZD against NAFLD;in particular,naringenin reduces PC consumption by inhibiting the expression of PLA2G4A and thus promotes sufficient synthesis of very-low-density lipoprotein to transport excess TGs in the liver.This research provides valuable data and theoretical support for the application of EZD against NAFLD.
