Objective: To study the impact of ticagrelor on inlfammatory factors in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Based on conventional medication, a total of 100 UAP patients after PCI were randomly divided into 2 groups for anti-platelet therapy:Treatment group, the patients received aspirin+ticagrelor and Control group, the patients received aspirin+clopidogrel. n=50 in each group, all patients were treated for 12 months. Plasma levels of inlfammatory factors were examined before treatment and 24h, 7d, 28d after the operation. The patients were followed-up for 12 months for ischemic events, bleeding events and adverse drug reactions.
Results: Before treatment, plasma levels of IL-6, IL-18, TNF-α, PDGF were similar between 2 groups (t=0.1356, 0.1668, 0.2473, 0.5780, all P>0.05). At 24h post-operation, the above inlfammatory factors were signiifcantly increased by peaks in both groups and decreased thereafter. At 24h, 7d and 28d post-operation, the levels of IL-6, IL-18, TNF-a, PDGF in Treatment group were all lower than Control group at each corresponding time point (at 24 post-operation, t=2.0856, 2.4399, 2.2217, 2.2053, all P<0.05), (at 7d post-operation, t=6.0978, 5.9705, 4.4631, 4.3963, all P<0.01) and (at 28d post-operation, t=9.3779, 9.7724, 5.5855, 6.1700, all P<0.01). The follow-up study presented that at 12 months post-operation, the ischemic events in Treatment group was lower than Control group (χ2=4.3956, P<0.05);there were no small hemorrhage or major bleeding events occurred;the slight adverse drug reaction was similar between 2 groups (χ2=0.1773, P>0.05).
Conclusion: Compared to clopidogrel, ticagrelor could better decrease plasma levels of inlfammatory factors, it may reduce ischemic events without elevate bleeding events.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type (GA-FG).Methods:A total of 12 patients, including 7 cases treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), were diagnosed as having GA-FG in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to August 2019. Morphological changes were analyzed by reviewing endoscopic and pathological results. Patients were followed up after definitive diagnosis.Results:The clinical symptoms of patients with GA-FG were nonspecific. No Helicobacter pylori infection was identified. The lesions were found in the non-atrophic gastric mucosa of the upper 1/3 portion in 10 cases and middle 1/3 portion in 2 cases. Endoscopically, the most common features were whitish color (9 cases), and all lesions diameter≤1 cm. Their macroscopic types were classified as 0-Ⅰ (2 cases), 0-Ⅱa (9 cases) and 0-Ⅱc (1 case) respectively. All lesions had sharp boundary, with branching dilated blood vessels on the surface. Five in 7 cases who were treated with ESD showed submucosal invasion. Immunohistochemically, 9 cases were classified as the chief cell type , 3 as the mixed type, 11 MUC6 positive, 4 MUC5AC positive, 2 MUC2 positive, and 3 CD10 positive. P53 was detected in all 12 cases, and 9 cases had low Ki-67 staining index (<10%). The mean time of follow-up was 11 months, and 11 patients survived. Conclusion:GA-FG should be taken into consideration when the polyps are found in the upper part of the stomach, with whitish color, and branch dilated blood vessels on the surface. Excellent clinical outcomes can be achieved for GA-FG patients with ESD.

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) represents the most common mode by which children acquire HBV infection. For pregnant women with high viral load and positive hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), antiviral therapy during late pregnancy combined with timely and standardized inoculation of neonatal hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine can minimize the possibility of MTCT of HBV. This review focuses on using and withdrawing antiviral drugs during pregnancy, managing postpartum hepatitis, and breastfeeding issues to further optimize the combined immunization and antiviral treatment strategies and seek the optimal solution to preventing MTCT of HBV.

OBJECTIVETo report on the result of thalassemia screening and genetic diagnosis for pregnant women from Guiyang region.
METHODSPrenatal screening for thalassemia was carried out based on erythrocyte parameters and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Single-tube multiplex GAP-PCR and PCR-reverse dot blot hybridization were performed on suspected cases to identify common alpha- and beta- thalassemia mutations, and direct sequencing was used for identifying rare mutations.
RESULTSAmong 13 738 pregnant women, 1745 (12.70%) were suspected as thalassemia. In terms of native place, the provinces with highest screening-positive rates were Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Guizhou. And the ethnic groups with highest screening-positive rates were Zhuang, Li, and Buyi. Among 801 women subjected to genetic testing, 457 (57.05%) were diagnosed with thalassemia. In total 9 genotypes of alpha- thalassemia were detected, with the most common genotypes being --/alpha alpha (63.35%), - alpha/alpha alpha (19.37%) and - alpha/alpha alpha (8.90%). Eleven genotypes of beta- thalassemia were detected, with the most common genotypes being CD17/N (42.91%), CD41-42/N (32.46%) and IVS-II-654/N (11.94%). Two cases were detected with rare beta-thalassemia mutations (CD54-58/N and IVS-I-130/N).
CONCLUSIONThe screening-positive rate of thalassemia among pregnant women in Guiyang region is relatively high. The rates have shown substantial difference in terms of native place and ethnic group. Thalassemia-related mutations in Guizhou region have a diverse spectrum, which showed certain difference from those of other regions.
