Objective:To investigate the expression of mesothelin mRNA (MESO mRNA) and tumor metastasis suppressor gene KISS1 mRNA in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its correlation with prognosis.Methods:From January 2017 to January 2019, 52 patients with EOC in Tangshan Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the observation group, and 52 healthy controls were selected as the control group. The levels of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA between the two groups were compared; the correlation of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA and EOC were analyzed; the correlation between MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed, and the expression of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA in patients with different prognosis was compared after followed up for 1 year.Results:The levels of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (1.41 ± 0.40 vs. 1.41 ± 0.40, 0.73 ± 0.08 vs. 0.54 ± 0.07), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The area under the curve(AUC) of combined diagnosis of EOC with MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA was 0.892 (95% CI 0.816 - 0.944), which was higher than the AUC of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA single diagnosis ,which were 0.798 (95% CI 0.708 - 0.870), and 0.812 (95% CI 0.723 - 0.882). The differences of blood MESO mRNA level in different pathological types, operations-pathological stage, pathological grade, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis were statistically significant ( P<0.05); the differences of blood KISS1 mRNA level in different operations-pathological stage, pathological grade, tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The blood MESO mRNA level of the dead was higher than that of the survivors(1.52 ± 0.17 vs. 1.38 ± 0.15), the blood KISS1 mRNA level was lower than that of the survivors (0.69 ± 0.07 vs. 0.74 ± 0.06), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05).The 1-year survival rate of patients with high expression of blood MESO mRNA was lower than that with low expression, and the 1-year survival rate of patients with high expression of KISS1 mRNA was higher than that with low expression ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of MESO mRNA and KISS1 mRNA in the peripheral blood of patients with EOC is increased, but with the progression of the disease, MESO mRNA is increased and KISS1 mRNA is decreased. The abnormal expression of the two may participate in the development of EOC.

Objective To explore the predictive value of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) on autonomic nerve excitation in patients with valvular disease, so as to provide reference for the formulation of clinical intervention plans. Methods The clinical data of patients with valvular disease who received surgical treatment in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from August 28, 2020 to February 3, 2021 were prospectively collected. According to the standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN) of the heart rate variability (HRV) of the long-range dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) 7 days before the operation, the patients were divided into three groups: a sympathetic dominant (SE) group (SDNN≤50 ms), a balance group (50 ms

Objective To analyze factors affecting the recovery of postoperative left ventricular function in patients with valvular disease combined with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<40%]. Methods The clinical data of 98 patients with valvular disease combined with HFrEF who underwent surgeries in our hospital from January 2011 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 75 males and 23 females aged 9-78 (55.3±11.9) years. Results A total of 15 patients were dead after the operation, including 4 deaths within 3 months and 11 mid-long-term deaths after the operation. Ninety-one patients were followed up for more than 6 months (10 months to 8.6 years). The postoperative cardiac function (NYHA) of 91 patients was classⅠ-Ⅱ, the LVEF of 18 (19.8%) patients increased more than 10%, that of 47 (51.6%) patients maintained at the preoperative level, and that of 26 (28.6%) patients decreased. Postoperative LVEF was more prone to recover in HFrEF patients with sinus rhythm before operation (P=0.038), valvular disease mainly in aortic valve (P=0.026), obvious reduction of left ventricular end diastolic diameter in early postoperative period (P=0.017), and higher systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) before operation (P=0.018). The risk factors for postoperative LVEF deterioration included large left atrium before operation (P=0.014), smaller left ventricle end systolic diameter before operation (P=0.003), and fast heart rate after operation (P=0.019). Conclusion Mitral valve prolapse patients with obviously increased left ventricular diameter should receive operation as soon as possible. HFrEF patients with aortic valve disease should receive operation positively. The operation efficacy is satisfactory in the HFrEF patients with high SPAP.
