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 investigate the influencing factors of surgical site infection (SSI) after abdominal surgery.Methods:The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. The clinical data of 567 patients undergoing abdominal surgery in 6 medical centers, including 445 cases in the Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, 54 cases in the the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 49 cases in the Shangqiu First People's Hospital, 10 cases in the Luoyang Central Hospital, 5 cases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology and 4 cases in the Henan Provincial People's Hospital, from June 1 to June 30, 2020 were collected. There were 284 males and 283 females, aged (51±18)years. Observation indicators: (1) incidence of SSI after surgery; (2) influencing factors of SSI. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect the incidence of SSI. Patients without implant were followed up within postoperative 30 days, and patients with implant were followed up within postoperative 1 year. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measure-ment data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Univariate analysis was performed using the corresponding statistical methods. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model advance method. Results:(1) Incidence of SSI after surgery. All the 567 patients were followed up after surgery as planned. There were 27 cases with SSI after surgery including 9 cases with superficial incision infection, 9 cases with deep incision infection, 9 cases with organ/gap infection. Of the 27 cases with SSI after surgery, 18 cases with positive results of incisional microbial culture including 8 cases with positive results of Escherichia coli, 6 cases with positive results of Klebsiella pneumonia, 3 cases with positive results of Enterococcus faecium and 1 case with positive result of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (2) Influencing factors of SSI. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, preoperative hemoglo-bin, preoperative albumin, preoperative fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site, surgical incision type, duration of intensive cure unite, duration of post-operative hospital stay, duration of total hospital stay, operation time, hospital expense were related factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery ( χ2=40.12, Z=?4.22, ?2.21, ?4.75, χ2=7.07, 16.43, 38.06, 17.50, Z=?4.43, ?4.42, ?7.14, ?7.15, ?5.90, P<0.05) and the American Association of Anesthesiologists Classification, preoperative oral antibiotics, surgical methods and postoperative intensive care unit stay were related factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery ( P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, preopera-tive fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site as appendix and rectum, surgical methods, surgical incision type as infective incision and polluted incision, operation time were independent factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdo-minal surgery ( odds ratio=7.69, 1.21, 0.27, 5.82, 5.19, 19.08, 0.23, 27.76, 4.97, 1.01, 95% confidence intervals as 2.04?28.95, 1.04?1.41, 0.08?0.94, 1.36?24.85, 1.10?24.43, 4.48?81.25, 0.06?0.87, 2.54?303.53, 1.12?22.14, 1.01?1.02, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, preoperative fasting blood glucose, preoperative intestinal preparation, surgical type, surgical site as appendix and rectum, surgical methods, surgical incision type as infective incision and polluted incision, operation time are independent factors affecting the incidence of SSI of patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
