Objective To observe the effects of the Diaomo-Zhibeng liquid on the expression of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA and their protein in vitro endometrial glandular epithelial cells in patients of endometrial hyperplasia Methods The endometrial tissue in patients with the pathological diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia were collected.After isolation,culture and identification,the endometrial cells were divided into four groups:low dosage group (12.5 μg/ml),middle dosage group (25 μg/ml),high dosage group (50μg/ml) and blank control group at randomaccording to the random number table.Three duplicate samples were set for each group.After 48h,the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA (1.51 ± 0.07,1.09 ± 0.06,0.93 ± 0.07 vs.1.92 ± 0.08) and protein (0.91 ± 0.02,0.72 ± 0.03,0.62 ± 0.03 vs.1.28 ± 0.02) significantly decreased,while the expression ofBax mRNA (5.73 ± 0.37,8.00 ± 0.23,10.72 ± 0.40 vs.3.27 ± 0.34) and protein (0.45 ± 0.02,0.63 ± 0.02,0.78 ± 0.03 vs.0.32 ± 0.02) sifnificantly promoted in low dosage group,medium dosage group and high dosage group of Diaomo-Zhibeng liquid (P<0.05).Compared with low dosage group,the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein significantly decreased in middle and high dose group (P<0.05),but Bax mRNA and protein significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusions The Diaomo-Zhibeng liquid can increase the susceptibility of epithelial cells to apoptosis,regulate the balance of cell proliferation and apoptosis tends to apoptosis,have the effect of accelerating cells apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the reliability and feasibility of spectral entropy in evaluate the effectiveness of analgesic sedation in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 64 patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical University from July 2021 to November 2022 were selected as study objects,and the included patients were divided into control group and experimental group according to random number table method,with 32 cases in each group.Patients in control group adjusted analgesia and sedation regimen according to Richmond agitation-sedation scale(RASS)score and critical-care pain observation tool(CPOT)score.Patients in experimental group adjusted the analgesic and sedation regimen according to the results of spectral entropy.The vital signs,C-reactive protein(CRP),dose of sedative and analgesic drugs and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.The correlation between spectral entropy and RASS score and CPOT score was used Spearman correlation analysis.Results The spectral entropy values were positively correlated with the RASS score and CPOT score,respectively(r=0.719,0.556,P<0.001).There were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation between two groups at different time points(P>0.05).The heart rate at T3 in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).At T1,T2 and T3,CRP levels in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The dosage of sufentanil and midazolam in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group(12.50%vs.34.38%,χ2=4.267,P=0.039).Conclusion Spectral entropy can be used as an objective method to monitor the depth of analgesia and sedation in patients with ischemic stroke,and has a good correlation with RASS score and CPOT score,which can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,effectively avoid stress reactions,and reduce the application of analgesia and sedation drugs.

To investigate the γ pass rate limit of plan verification equipment for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan verification and its sensitivity on the opening and closing errors of multi-leaf collimator (MLC), 50 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma VMAT plan with clockwise and counterclockwise full arcs were randomly selected. Eight kinds of MLC opening and closing errors were introduced in 10 cases of them, and 80 plans with errors were generated. Firstly, the plan verification was conducted in the form of field-by-field measurement and true composite measurement. The γ analysis with the criteria of 3% dose difference, distance to agreement of 2 mm, 10% dose threshold, and absolute dose global normalized conditions were performed for these fields. Then gradient analysis was used to investigate the sensitivity of field-by-field measurement and true composite measurement on MLC opening and closing errors, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to investigate the optimal threshold of γ pass rate for identifying errors. Tolerance limits and action limits for γ pass rates were calculated using statistical process control (SPC) method for another 40 cases. The error identification ability using the tolerance limit calculated by SPC method and the universal tolerance limit (95%) were compared with using the optimal threshold of ROC. The results show that for the true composite measurement, the clockwise arc and the counterclockwise arc, the descent gradients of the γ passing rate with per millimeter MLC opening error are 10.61%, 7.62% and 6.66%, respectively, and the descent gradients with per millimeter MLC closing error are 9.75%, 7.36% and 6.37%, respectively. The optimal thresholds obtained by the ROC method are 99.35%, 97.95% and 98.25%, respectively, and the tolerance limits obtained by the SPC method are 98.98%, 97.74% and 98.62%, respectively. The tolerance limit calculated by SPC method is close to the optimal threshold of ROC, both of which could identify all errors of ±2 mm, while the universal tolerance limit can only partially identify them, indicating that the universal tolerance limit is not sensitive on some large errors. Therefore, considering the factors such as ease of use and accuracy, it is suggested to use the true composite measurement in clinical practice, and to formulate tolerance limits and action limits suitable for the actual process of the institution based on the SPC method. In conclusion, it is expected that the results of this study can provide some references for institutions to optimize the radiotherapy plan verification process, set appropriate pass rate limit, and promote the standardization of plan verification.
