Objective To observe the effect and side effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage ⅡB~ⅢB cervical cancer. Methods 126 patients with stage ⅡB~ⅢB cervical cancer were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy group: radiotherapy carried out same as the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, i.e.firstly with cisplatin 20 mg iv d1-5, 5-Fu 750 mg iv d1-5, repeated every 28 days, total 4 cycle; the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group i.e.firstly with cisplatin 20 mg iv d1-5, 5-Fu 750 mg iv d1-5, repeated every 28 days, total 2 cycle, after chemotherapy received routine radiotherapy 2 Gy per day, 5 times a week to a total dose of 30 Gy with 192Ir brachytherapy, 7 Gy per week. When total dose reached 46 Gy, the middle field was shielded by plumbum, then continuous radiotherapy, total dose reach A point 65-70 Gy, B point 50-56 Gy. Results All patients were followed-up for more than five years. The follow-up rate was 94.4 %. In concurrent chemoradiotherapy group the 3 year survival rate and the 5 year survival rate were 82.8 %, 65.6 %, In neoadjuvant chemotherapy group the 3 year survival rate and the 5 year survival rate were 67.7 %, 46.8 %. There was a significant difference in two groups (X2=3.86, P<0.05; X2=5.01, P<0.05), no significant difference in toxicity-side effect. Conclusion Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for advanced cervical cancer can significantly improve the 3-year and 5-year survival rate and has little increase in toxicity-side effect.

Objective To examine the neuroprotective effect of pulsed magnetic field in a animal focal cere-bral ischemica-reperfusion injury model. Methods Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into 3 groups, a sham-operation group, a model group and a pulsed magnetic field group, with rats 16 in each group. Mid-dle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) method was employed to establish the focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion inju-ry model in rats of model group and pulsed magnetic field group. Rats in sham-operation group was subject to the same operation procedure but not underwent ischemia-reperfusion. The infarction volume, histopathological damage and expressions of IGF-1 in ischemic brain tissue were investigated to evaluate the effect of pulsed magnetic field. Results The infarction volume was reduced, histopathological damage alleviated and expressions of IGF-1 in ische-mic brain tissue elevated in the pulsed magnetic field group as compared against the model group (P<0.05). Con-clusions Pulsed magnetic field might provide neuro-protection against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate how functional connectivity changes within default-mode network related to posterior cingulated cortex employing resting-state functional MRI (tMRI). Methods fMRI was compared between 16 mild Alzheimer' s disease (AD) patients and 16 normal elder subjects. Regions of functional connectivity to posterior cingulated cortex were gathered by calculating temporal correlations in low frequency fMRI signal fluctuations. SPM2 was applied to calculate significant differences of connectivity between group and within group. Significance threshold was set up at the corrected P <0. 01, pixel extent > 5. A random effect two-example t test was performed by SPM2 to achieve significant difference of functional connection between groups ( P < 0. 01, corrected, t = 2. 47, pixel extent > 5 ). Results Regions showing disrupted connectivity to posterior cingulated cortex were: ventral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), bilateral visual cortex, infero-temporal cortex (ITC), and left hippocampus, right thalamus, right dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex ( DLPFC), and precuneus. There were also regions showing increased connectivity with leftward asymmetry, these regions included: MPFC, left ITC, bilateral DLPFC, left pre- central motor cortex and left basal ganglia. Conclusions Impairments of memory and high visual-related functions in AD can be explained by functional disconnection in resting-state. Remoldability is reserved in mild AD to compensate for brain function which is taxed by left hemisphere preferentially. Our findings suggest that resting-state fMRI might be an appropriate approach for evaluating AD brain mechanism.

Background and purpose:In recent years, epigenetics research has become a new direction of cancer research. A large number of results have shown that the abnormal changes of epigenetic modifications have close connection with cancer. Genome-wide epigenetic modifications have become new markers for cancer. This study aimed to investigate the methylation of the promoter ofDBC1 gene in cervical cancer tissues of Uyghur women in Xinjiang, to explore the correlation between the gene methylation and the infection of HPV, and to evaluate whether it can be used as a tool with high sensitivity and specificity for cervical cancer screening.Methods:This study detected the infection of HPV16, 18 in 43 normal cervical tissues, 35 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia tissues and 54 cervical cancer tissues using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The methylation of the promoter ofDBC1 gene in above-mentioned tissues was detected by the methylation-specific PCR method. The expression ofDBC1 at mRNA level was measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) in 10 methylation-negative normal cervical tissues and 10 methylation-positive cervical cancer tissues.Results:In normal cervical tissues, CIN tissues and cervical cancer tissues, the infection ratios of HPV16 were 18.6%, 34.3% and 68.5%, respectively; the infection ratios of HPV18 were 2.3%, 8.6% and 16.7%, respectively; and the methylation ratios ofDBC1 gene were 23.3%, 40.0%, 87.0%, respectively. In 79 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (CINⅡ and Ⅲ) and cervical cancer tissues, 50 of 79 were infected with HPV16/18, while 29 of 79 were negative. The methylation ratio ofDBC1 gene was 88.0% in HPV16/18 infection positive group while the methylation ratio was 55.2% in negative group (P<0.05). The expression ofDBC1 gene at mRNA level in 10 methy- lation-positive cervical cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the 10 methylation-negative normal cervical tissues (P<0.05).Conclusion:The methylation ofDBC1 gene may become a molecular marker to detect cervical cancer of Uyghur women in Xinjiang.DBC1 gene methylation combined with HPV16/18 infection test can be used to aid diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Objective:To explore the relationship between anxiety, depression and various dimensions of cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) .Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to conduct memory screening for 727 elderly people who visited the multidisciplinary joint memory clinic of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Beijing from January to December 2019. With their consent, 247 MCI patients were investigated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) , Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) .Results:A total of 247 questionnaires were distributed and 233 valid questionnaires were returned. There were 67 cases (28.8%) of MCI patients with anxiety and depression, 11 cases (4.7%) with anxiety, 53 cases (22.7%) with depression and 102 cases (43.8%) without anxiety and depression. In MCI patients, anxiety was positively correlated with delayed recall ( P<0.05) , while depression was negatively correlated with language function ( P<0.05) . MCI patients with different emotional states had statistically significant differences in language function ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:MCI patients have a higher incidence of anxiety and depression, and anxiety and depression will affect different dimensions of cognitive function in MCI patients. Medical staff need to provide targeted interventions for MCI patients with different emotional characteristics.
