Objective To investigate the prevalence of anti-HCV positive among volunteer blood donors in Zhouk-ou city. Methods A total of 200 950 blood specimens from voluntary blood donors in Zhoukou from 2007 to 2012 were detected for anti-HCV by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,results were ana-lyzed. Results The total positive rate of anti-HCV was 0.21% (416/200 950),there were significant difference in positive rates of anti-HCV among populations of different genders,ages and educational background(χ2= 24.01 , 142.31,45.8,respectively,allP<0.01),the positive rate of anti-HCV in female was higher than that of male ([0.27% ,205/75 658]vs [0.17% ,211/125 292]);the positive rate of anti-HCV was the lowest in donors aged 21-30 years (0.06% ,38/63 719),and highest in donors aged>40 years (0.33% ,162/48 871);the lower donors re-ceived education,the higher positive rate of anti-HCV they had,the positive rate of anti-HCV in donors with j unior high school education was 0.26% (107/41 154). The positive rate of anti-HCV in blood donors decreased gradually from 2007 to 2012(χ2= 14.576,P<0.05).Conclusion The positive rate of anti-HCV is low in voluntary blood do-nors in Zhoukou and is significantly different among different populations.

Objective To assess the effect and influencing factors on 131I treatment for cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) after operation in patients with PTC.Methods PTC patients (n =117;45 males,72 females;average age (45.17± 15.50) years) with postoperative cervical LNM from January 2010 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.LNM was diagnosed by surgical pathology,imaging results and clinical follow-up.Single factor analysis was performed in age,gender,operation mode,TNM stage,131I treatment time and other factors.The results for 131I treatment effect included CR,PR,NC.Two-sample t test and x2 test were used.Results Among the 117 PTC patients with postoperative LNM,53 (45.3％) cases had non-131 I-avid metastasis.Fifty of the 64 (54.7％) patients with 131I-avid metastasis were treated with 131I.Nineteen patients (38.0％) achieved CR,22 (44.0％) achieved PR,and 9 (18.0％) showed invalid results.Fourteen of the 64 patients underwent another cervical lymph node dissection.Nine patients achieved CR,5 patients achieved PR,and 4 PR patients were then treated with 131I and finally achieved CR.Single factor analysis showed that the influencing factors of non-131I-avid lymph node included patients' age (t =3.459),serum Tg level (x2 =6.698) and metastasis with 1s F-FDG uptake (x2 =26.928;all P＜0.05).The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect included lymph node dissection procedure (x2 =6.487),unilateral or bilateral lesion (x2=5.187) and LNM size (x2=8.099;all P＜0.05).Conclusions 131I treatment is ineffective for nearly 50％ of patients with non-131I-avid LNM.The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect include the lymph node dissection procedure,unilateral or bilateral lesions and LNM size.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bipolar transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP) with PKRP for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with prostate volumes over 80 ml.Methods A total of 78 patients of BPH with prostate volume more than 80 ml were retrospectively analysed to either PKEP (n =41) or PKRP (n =37).All patients were assessed preoperatively and followed up of clinic at the 3rd,6th,and 12 th month postoperatively.Baseline characteristics of the patients,intraoperative events (operation time,bleeding volume),postoperative events (bladder irrigation time,catheter time) and postoperative effect evaluation (IPSS score,QOL score and Qmax) were recorded.t test was used for measurement data expressed by ((x) ± s) among groups.And chi-square test was used for Enumeration data expressed by rate(％) between the two groups.Results The operation time,the decrease of hemoglobin,irrigation time and the catheter time in the PKEP and PKRP were (100.7 ±31.2),(150.1 ±30.3) min,(1.1 ±0.5),(2.1 ±0.8) g/dl,(16.9 ±4.3),(31.8 ± 8.3) h,(33.4 ± 11.2),(51.7 ± 18.6) h,respectively.Those indexes in the PKEP group were significantly better than those in the PKRP group (P ＜ 0.05).The baseline values and postoperative outcome indices of PKEP group at the 3rd,6th,and 12 th month were IPSS (28.01 ± 5.31),(15.01 ± 3.62),(8.01 ±2.30),(7.83±2.11)、QOL(4.5 ±0.8),(3.5 ±0.6),(1.3 ±0.4),(1.1 ±0.5)、Qmax(6.21 t2.09),(13.24 ± 2.31),(15.33 ± 2.44),(17.65 ± 3.21) mL/s,residual urine volume (75.02 ± 25.21),(10.87 ±6.16),(10.55 ± 5.21),(9.97 ± 5.63) ml.All the indices after 3 months of operation were improved compared with baseline values (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complications in PKEP group (17.1 ％,7/41) was lower than that in PKRP group (27.0％,10/17) (P =0.288).Conclusion PKEP is a safe and efficient treatment of BPH patients with prostate volume more than 80 ml.Compared with PKRP,PKEP provides less risk of hemorrhage and shorter catheter time,the operation time,irrigation time.

ObjectiveThe study is to investigate the predictive values of dosimetric parameters and patient related factors in severe acute radiation pneumonitis (SARP) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods In all,147 NSCLC patients treated with concurrent chemotherapy and 3DCRT between 2006 and 2010 was collected.Independent sample t test was used to compare parameter values between patients with SARP and those without SARP.Logistic regression was used to identify significant determined factor.Predictive value of each parameter was tested by ROC analysis.Pearson correlation was used to analyze correlations between parameters.Represent factors were identified by factor analysis.ResultsThe incidence of SARP was 9.5％ ( 14/147 ).The means lung dose (MLD),V20,V30,V40,and V50 ( x2 =4.87 -6.84,P =0.009 -0.025,respectively ) were determining factors for SARP.Our datasets shows that for SARP ＜5％,MLD,V20,V30,V40 and V50 should be ≤16.77 Gy,V20≤34.15％,.V30 ≤23.62％,.V40 ≤ 18.57％,V50 ≤ 13.02％.ROC analysis show that areas under MLD,V20,V30,V40 and V50 curves was corresponding to 0.678,0.661,0.667,0.677,and 0.651,respectively.In addition,the sensitivity and specificity of each parameter at cutoff values are:78.0％ and 48.1％ for MLD;42.9％ and 82.0％ for V2o ;78.6％ and 52.9％ for V30 ;71.4％ and 61.7％ for V40,and 57.1％ and 67.7％ for V50.Factor analysis suggest that we can choose 1 or 2 parameters from MLD,V20,or V30,and another from V40 or V50 for predicting.The incidence of SARP was greater in patients with tumorsin right lower lung than other locations ( 22.2％ vs 6.7％,x2 =6.19,P =0.0 2 3 ).Conclusions The MLD,V20,V30,V40 and V50 are determining factors for SARP.As predictive value of each parameter alone is relatively week,using two or more parameters to predict SARP is recommended.

Objective To study the mechanisms of the drug resistance of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficient color-ectal cancer (CRC) HCT-116 to 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) .Methods MLH1 deficiency HCT-116 cells were transfected with pcD-NA3 .1-MLH1 Vector .The expression of MLH1 was detected by Western blot .The change of resistance against 5-Fu was ex-amined by detecting the cell viability with CCK-8 kits .The expression of CD133 (cancer stem cell marker ) and CK8 & CK20 (cell differentiation marker) were detected by flow cytometry .Results Comparing to HCT-116 control group ,the viability of HCT-116 cells was markedly decreased (P<0 .01) after stable expressing MLH1 ,accompanied by the down-regulated expres-sion of CD133 on the cell surface .Moreover ,the up-regulation of cell differentiation marker CK8 and CK20 was observed in HCT-116 cells with stable expressing MLH1 .Conclusion Our data indicated that the expression of MLH1 was associated with down-regulated CD133+ stem-like cells in colorectal cancer HCT-116 with MLH1 deficiency .Therefore ,CD133+ stem-like cells may related to the drug resistance of MMR deficiency tumor .This study provides a possible theory to explain the 5-FU resist-ance in the colorectal cancer patients with MMR deficiency .

This study was performed to investigate the impact of nobiletin(NOB)on fracture healing in osteoporosis(OP)rats through the stimulator of interferon gene(STING)/nuclear transcription factor kappa B(NF-κB)signal pathway.A rat model of OP fracture was established by ovariectomy and right femoral shaft fracture intramedullary fixation;the rats after modeling were randomly grouped into model group,high dose(NOB-H,30 mg/kg NOB),medium dose(NOB-M,20 mg/kg NOB),low dose(NOB-L,10 mg/kg NOB)NOB group and NOB-H+ STING activator(DMXAA)group(30 mg/kg NOB+25 mg/kg DMXAA),and 18 rats experienced only ovaries expose were used as sham operation group.After the intervention,the fracture healing status of rats were measured;Micro-CT was used to detect the changes of bone trabecular microstructure in rats;commercial kits were used to detect the serum levels of bone metabolism related indicators(alkaline phosphatase(ALP),calcium,phosphorus)and inflammatory factors(tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β));HE was used to detect the morphological changes and trabecular area of femur,while Western blot was applied to detect the expression of STING/NF-κB pathway related proteins.Compared with the control group,the fracture line in the model group was clear,the trabecular structure was disordered and the gap was large,furthermore,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,the expression of STING and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 were significantly increased,the trabecular area,the levels of ALP,calcium,phosphorus,and bone mineral density(BMD),bone volume fraction(BV/TV),bone trabecular number(Tb.N)and bone trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)were significantly decreased(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the fracture line of NOB-L group,NOB-M group and NOB-H group gradually blurred,the trabecular structure arranged orderly,and the gap gradually decreased,and the trend of the index changes mentioned above were opposite to that of the model group(P<0.05).STING activators attenuated the promotion of fracture healing by NOB in OP rats and increased the inflammatory responses.In conclusion,NOB can reduce inflammatory reaction and promote fracture healing in OP rats,which may be related to the inhibition of STING/NF-κB signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the iodine intake and iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in different water iodine areas of Tianjin, and to provide a basis for formulating appropriate intervention measures in high water iodine areas.Methods:From January to September 2016, 90, 91 and 71 pregnant women were randomly selected as research subjects in different water iodine areas in Tianjin (water iodine ≤150, > 150 - 300 and > 300 μg/L) via the random sampling method. Samples of salt, drinking water and urine were collected from pregnant women. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the intake of 12 kinds of food eating by pregnant women in the past year. Salt iodine content was determined by direct titration, water iodine content was determined by ceric sulfate catalytic spectrophotometry, and urinary iodine was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in salt iodine intake among pregnant women in different water iodine areas ( H = 2.29, P = 0.318); the difference in drinking water iodine intake (7.50, 282.60, 544.35 μg/d) was statistically significant ( H = 223.31, P < 0.001), and further pairwise comparison found that the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.001); the difference in food iodine intake was not statistically significant ( H = 2.19, P = 0.334). With the increase of water iodine content in various regions, the contribution rate of drinking water iodine intake gradually increased. The medians of urinary iodine in pregnant women in different water iodine areas were 113.50, 180.55 and 268.55 μg/L, respectively, and there was a positive correlation between urine iodine content and total iodine intake ( rs = 0.31, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The iodine nutrition level of pregnant women in areas with water iodine ≤150 μg/L is insufficient (< 150 μg/L), so the consumption rate of iodized salt should be increased to prevent the occurrence of iodine deficiency disorders. The iodine nutrition level of pregnant women in areas with water iodine > 300 μg/L exceeds the appropriate amount (250 - 499 μg/L), pregnant women should control the intake of foods with high iodine content and take measures to improve water as soon as possible to reduce iodine.

Background/Aims: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 29 (USP29) plays pivotal roles in hepatic ischemiareperfusion injury and hepatocellular carcinoma, but its role in MASLD remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the effects and underlying mechanisms of USP29 in MASLD progression. Methods: USP29 expression was assessed in liver samples from MASLD patients and mice. The role and molecular mechanism of USP29 in MASLD were assessed in high-fat diet-fed and high-fat/high-cholesterol diet-fed mice and palmitic acid and oleic acid treated hepatocytes. Results: USP29 protein levels were significantly reduced in mice and humans with MASLD. Hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis were significantly exacerbated by USP29 deletion and relieved by USP29 overexpression. Mechanistically, USP29 significantly activated the expression of genes related to fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) under metabolic stimulation, directly interacted with long-chain acyl-CoA synthase 5 (ACSL5) and repressed ACSL5 degradation by increasing ACSL5 K48-linked deubiquitination. Moreover, the effect of USP29 on hepatocyte lipid accumulation and MASLD was dependent on ACSL5. Conclusions USP29 functions as a novel negative regulator of MASLD by stabilizing ACSL5 to promote FAO. The activation of the USP29-ACSL5 axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for MASLD.
