Purpose To investigate the expression of the protein of CD151 and MT1-MMP in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion tissues and to explore their relationship with the invasiveness and metastasis of the tumor. Methods CD151 and MT1-MMP pro-tein were detected by immunohistochemical staining respectively in 15 cases of paraneoplastic normal gastric mucosa tissue, 40 cases dysplasia and 172 cases of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues. Results All of the expression level of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein were increasing according to the order of normal-dysplsia-carcinoma. The expression rate of CD151 was 6. 67%, 20. 0% and 78. 3%, while the rate of MT1-MMP with 13. 3%, 22. 5% and 79. 1% in the normal, dysplasia and carcinoma subgroup. The expression rate of each protein were significant difference among the three goroups (P<0. 05). In the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues, the expression of them in the subgroup of poorly-differentiated with serosa invasion and lymph nodes metasta-sis was significantly higher than the other subgroup of well-differentiated with non serosa invasion or lymph nodes metastasis ( P <0. 05 ) . There was a positive correlation between the expression of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CD151 and MT1-MMP assuredly and highly express in the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues and they have close relationships, which could involved in the invasiveness and metastasis synergistically in this tumor.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression and clinical significance of PD-L1, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and HSP90α in the serum of patients with acute leukemia (AL) of different types and disease stages.

METHODSA total of 84 AL patients from January 2013 to October 2016 in our hospital and 20 healthy persons as controls were selected. All the samples of serum or bone marrow were separated. The protein expression levels of serum HSP90, HSP90α were detected by ELISA. The flow cytometry was used to detect PD-L1 expression. The relationship of the expression level of PD-L1, HSP 90, and HSP90α with clinical outcome was analyzed.

RESULTSThe expression levels of serum HSP90, HSP90α and PD-L1 positive rate in AL patients were significantly higher those that in control group (P<0.05), the expression levels of serum HSP90, HSP90α and PD-L1 positive rate of Al patients in remission were lower than those in newly diagnosed patients (P<0.05). The expression level of HSP90, HSP90α and PD-L1 positive rate in the relapsed AL patients were higher than those in newly diagnosed AL patients and patients in remission (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of HSP90 protein level and PD-L1 positive rate between newly diagnosed AML patients and ALL patients(P>0.05). HSP90α level of newly diagnosed AML patients was lower than that in newly diagnosed ALL (P<0.05). HSP90α and HSP90 levels and PD-L1 positive rate in no remission patients were significantly higher than those in complete remission patients (P<0.05). The HSP90α level in patients without recurrence decreased during chemotherapy. The HSP90α protein level was the lowest after the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but increased after relapse.

CONCLUSIONThe PD-L1,HSP90 and HSP90α play an important role in the developmental process of acute leukemia, which can be used as reference indications to assess clinical efficacy and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate systematically the application effect of cluster nursing on pressure ulcer (PU) management of ICU patients.Methods Randomized control trials (RCTs) relevant to application of cluster nursing strategy in ICU PU management were collected by searching related Chinese and foreign literature published before March 2016, with the results analyzed by Stata 12. 0. Results 16 articles with 3 027 patients involved were in accordance with the criteria. It was shown in the Meta analysis that cluster nursing helped to reduce incidence of PU of ICU patients [OR=0.31,95%CI(0.25,0.38)] and to postpone occurrence of PU[WMD= 3.56, 95%CI(3.05,4.06)]. Results with all outcome indicators combined were confirmed reliable by sensitivity analysis. No existence of publication bias was shown in funnel plot. Conclusions Compared with routine nursing measures, cluster nursing showed superiority in reducing incidence rate and postponing occurrence time of PU of ICU patients, which makes it worth promoting in clinical practice.

The evaluation of female fertility at first diagnosis is an important premise and basis for determining the treatment scheme of assisted reproduction. In this study, a survey was conducted among 13 assisted reproductive institutions in China to understand the evaluation indicators and detection methods of female fertility at first diagnosis in various institutions, and provide a basis for reasonable selection of indicators. The survey showed that the indicators of female fertility evaluation at first diagnosis among assisted reproductive institutions included general health indicators, ovarian reserve indicators, and uterine conditions, etc. The selection of indicators was considerably consistent, but the detection methods were quite different. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the detection method with better validity and less harm.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) on neonatal outcomes after cesarean section.Methods:Chinese and English databases (including CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine Disc, VIP, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) and ClinicalTrials.gov were retrieved from the inception to July 2023. Randomized controlled trials regarding UCM in neonates from different races who were born by cesarean section were included. The outcomes were postnatal hemoglobin level, hematocrit value, peak serum bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH value, intraventricular hemorrhage, death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score. The risk of bias among the included studies was confined to low or possible risk according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool 2.0. RevMan5.3 was used for meta-analysis, and subgroup analysis was performed among neonates with different gestational ages. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the grades of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) framework.Results:A total of 11 articles involving 2 347 neonates (1 322 full-term and 1 025 preterm infants) were included. Meta-analysis results showed that: (1) Compared with the immediate cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=1.40, 95% CI: 1.11-1.70, Z=9.32; MD=0.86, 95% CI: 0.69-1.02, Z=10.02, both P<0.01), hematocrit value within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=2.73, 95% CI: 0.18-5.29, Z=2.09, P=0.04; MD=3.57, 95% CI: 2.29-4.85, Z=5.46, P<0.01). However, no significant differences were found in the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH, and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min (all P>0.05). (2) Compared with delayed cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level ( MD=0.83, 95% CI: 0.75-0.91, Z=20.11, P<0.01) and hematocrit value ( MD=2.34, 95% CI: 1.25-3.43, Z=4.20, P<0.01) within 24 h after birth, but not in the hematocrit value at 48-72 h after birth ( MD=－0.38, 95% CI:－2.27-1.52, Z=0.39, P=0.70) or the peak bilirubin level ( MD=－0.65, 95% CI:－2.16-1.04, Z=0.69, P=0.49). Sensitivity analysis showed that for full-term neonates born by cesarean section, the peak bilirubin level in the UCM group was significantly lower than that in the delayed cord clamping group ( MD=－1.30, 95% CI:－2.26-0.34, Z=2.66, P<0.01). Still, the incidence of phototherapy, intraventricular hemorrhage (grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ), death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min showed no statistical differences (all P>0.05). Conclusions:UCM could increase the short-term postnatal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in neonates born by cesarean section, which might prevent neonatal anemia in the short term without increasing the adverse neonatal outcomes. Little effects were observed on the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, polycythemia, etc. More high-quality and large-sample randomized controlled trials are needed in the future.

As a way of female fertility preservation, oocyte cryopreservation technology(OCT) has attracted more attention from the society. The health technology assessment (HTA) research progresses on OCT are important evidence basis for OCT clinical application promotion. Literatures on the maternal and offspring safety, efficacy and social ethics assessment of OCT were reviewed in this paper. Based on the current OCT evaluation evidence, short-term safety and effectiveness were confirmed, but long-term maternal and child safety should be testified in a large scale follow-up study. Social ethics evaluation methods of human assisted reproductive technology(ART) research were still in the exploratory stage. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the social ethics evaluation methods and system of human ART, including OCT, in China.
