ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between genetic polymorphism of heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70) and susceptibility to occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL). Methods A total of 229 ONIHL workers were selected as the case group and 229 healthy workers with similar age, years of noise exposure, and noise exposure levels were selected as the control group using the case-control study method. Occupational health examinations were conducted on both groups, and peripheral blood of individuals was collected for DNA extraction. The genotypes of three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the HSP70 were detected using the MassArray system. Results The allele frequency distribution of HSP70 rs2227956, rs1043618, and rs1061581 in the control group was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (all P>0.05). The genotype and allele frequency distribution of rs2227956 was significantly different between the two groups (all P<0.05), while no significant difference was found for rs1043618 and rs1061581 (all P>0.05). After adjusting for age, years of noise exposure, individual noise exposure level, smoking, and drinking, individuals with AG and AG+GG genotypes of rs2227956 had a higher risk of ONIHL than those with AA genotype (all P<0.05). The risk of ONIHL was higher in individuals with G allele of rs2227956 than in those with A allele (P<0.05). No correlation was found between rs1043618 and rs1061581 polymorphisms and the risk of ONIHL (all P>0.05). Conclusion The rs2227956 polymorphism of the HSP70 gene is correlated with susceptibility to ONIHL in noise-exposed workers, and the G allele is a risk factor for ONIHL in this population.

Objective:To explore the effect and significance of clinical pathway (CP) teaching method in the standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The study included in 60 residents having standardized residency training of gynecology from June 2016 to June 2019 as research subjects, and they were randomized into control group and experimental group. The traditional teaching method was applied in the control group ( n=30), while CP teaching method were used in the experimental group ( n=30). All residents in the two groups were tested for the basic theory, case analysis and clinical skill after training. At the same time, they all had a teaching satisfaction survey, and the effectiveness of CP teaching was investigated among residents of the experimental group. Descriptive statistics, t test and chi-square analysis were performed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results:The results of examination about the basic theory [(86.30±7.04) vs. (75.30±5.27)], case analysis [(84.97±6.49) vs. (78.60±4.78)] and clinical skill [(83.90±6.32) vs. (77.40±8.29)] in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). And residents in the experimental group believed that CP teaching was helpful to improve their self-learning ability, clinical thinking ability, operation ability, communication ability and scientific research ability, and they supported the continuous promotion of CP teaching. Conclusion:CP teaching is beneficial to improve the quality of standardized residency training of gynecology, and it is expected to be further promoted and applied in the standardized residency training of gynecology.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of clinical pathway (CP) and team-based learning (TBL) teaching method in standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The research included 40 residents as objects who took standardized training in gynecological rotation in Luohe Central Hospital from July 2017 to July 2019, and they were randomized into experimental group and control group. The combination of CP and TBL teaching method was used in the experimental group ( n=20), while the traditional teaching method was applied in the control group ( n=20). All residents were tested for the professional theory and clinical skill after training. After the training, a survey about the teaching satisfaction and the effectiveness of teaching methods was conducted for both groups. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results:The average scores of professional theory and clinical practice skills in the experimental group were (85.55±5.96) points and (89.90±6.40) points respectively, which were better than the average scores of the control group [(76.36±6.68) points and (75.50±4.81) points, respectively], and there were significant differences between two groups ( P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the experimental group residents had a higher degree of satisfaction and a higher evaluation of the teaching method than the control group. Conclusion:CP and TBL teaching is beneficial to improve the quality of standardized residency training of gynecology, and it is suggested to make wide popularization and application in the training.

Objective: To compare the outcomes between haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) and matched-sibling donor transplantation (MSD-HSCT) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) . Methods: The clinical data of 40 PNH patients received HSCT (haplo-HSCT=25, MSD-HSCT=15) from July 2007 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively to compare the outcomes between haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. Results: There were no differences in terms of gender, age, patients of PNH-AA and median time from diagnosis to transplantation between the 2 groups (P>0.05) . The median values of absolute mononuclear cell counts and CD34⁺ cells infused were 10.74 (4.80-22.86) ×10⁸/kg and 12.19 (5.14-17.25) ×10⁸/kg (P=0.866) , 3.57 (0.68-7.80) ×10⁶/kg and 4.00 (3.02-8.42) ×10⁶/kg (P=0.151) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. All patients attained complete engraftment, no patient occurred graft failure. The median durations for myeloid and platelet engraftment were 12 (range, 9-26) and 11 (range, 7-15) days (P=0.065) , 19 (range, 11-75) and 13 (range, 11-25) days (P=0.027) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. During a median follow-up of 26 (4-65) months in haplo-HSCT and 36 (4-132) months in MSD-HSCT groups (P=0.294) , the incidences of grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) were 32.0% and 20.0% (P=0.343) , grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD were 16.0%, 13.3% (P=0.759) , chronic GVHD were 30.7% and 24.6% (P=0.418) , moderate-severe chronic GVHD were 12.7% and 7.1% (P=0.522) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. The incidences of infection were 32.0% (8/25) and 26.7% (4/15) (P=1.000) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. No patients occurred early death and relapse. Three-year estimated overall survival (OS) were (86.5±7.3) % and (93.3 ±6.4) % (P=0.520) , GVHD-free and failure-free survival (GFFS) were (78.3±8.6) % and (92.9±6.9) % (P=0.250) respectively, in haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT groups. Conclusion The preliminary results indicated that haplo-HSCT was a feasible choice for PNH with favorable outcomes, haplo-HSCT and MSD-HSCT produced similar therapeutic efficacy.

Objective: To compare the outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria-aplastic anemia (PNH-AA) syndrome. Methods: The outcomes of 46 patients who received allo-HSCT (16 PNH patients, 30 PNH-AA patients) from July 10, 2007 to June 2, 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The conditioning regimen was busulfan, cyclophosphoramide, and ATG in haploidentical donors and unrelated donors. Patients with matched sibling donors were treated with the fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and ATG regimen. Results: There were no differences of baseline data between the 2 groups except gender distribution and the numbers of haploidentical donor transplantation. The median values of absolute nucleated cell counts were 10.58 (3.83-13.83) ×10⁸/kg in the PNH group and 10.81 (3.96-33.40) ×10⁸/kg in the PNH-AA group (P=0.668) . The median doses of CD34⁺ cells infused were 5.00 (3.14-8.42) ×10⁶/kg and 3.57 (1.97-6.17) ×10⁶/kg (P=0.002) , respectively. All patients obtained complete engraftment. The median time for myeloid engraftment were 11 (7-14) days in the PNH group and 12 (10-26) days in the PNH-AA group (P=0.003) . The median time for platelet engraftment were 13 (11-16) days and 18 (12-75) days (P=0.002) , respectively, after a median follow-up of 36 (4-132) months in the PNH group and 26 (4-75) months in the PNH-AA group (P=0.428) . There were no differences of incidence rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) , chronic GVHD and infection between PNH and PNH-AA groups (P>0.05) . No patient occurred early death and relapse. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) of PNH and PNH-AA groups were (100.0±0.0) % and (85.7± 6.6) % (P=0.141) , GVHD-free and failure-free survival (GFFS) were (100.0±0.0) %, (78.7±7.7) % (P=0.067) . Conclusions allo-HSCT is effective for patients with PNH and PNH-AA syndrome. The preliminary results indicate that myeloid and platelet engraftment in PNH group were faster than PNH-AA group. There were no differences in OS and GFFS between PNH group and PNH-AA group.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of combination of haploidentical donor (HID) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with an unrelated cord blood unit for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Methods: The clinical data of 127 SAA patients [including 74 male and 53 female patients, 65 very severe aplastic anemia (vSAA), the median age as 23.5(3-54) years] received HID-HSCT from September 2011 to April 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The median interval from SAA diagnosis to transplantation was 2 (0.5-180) months. The conditioning was modified Bu/Cy+ATG/ALG-based (Busulfan + cyclophosphamide + antithymocyte immunoglobulin/antilymphocyte immunoglobulin) regimen. Cord blood units were selected based on the results of HLA typing and cell doses evaluated before freezing. Units with at least 4/6 matched HLA loci became the candidates. Prophylaxis for graft-versus host disease (GVHD) was by cyclosporine (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) plus short-term methotrexate (MTX). Results: The median values of absolute nucleated cell counts were 10.87 (3.61-24.00)×10⁸/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 2.22 (1.10-7.30)×10⁷/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. The median doses of CD34⁺ cells infused were 3.49(1.02-8.89) ×10⁶/kg in the haploidentical grafts and 0.56 (0.16-2.27) ×10⁵/kg in the cord blood units, respectively. Of the 127 patients, 5 patients occurred early death, one patient occurred primary graft failure. All 121 surviving patients attained complete haploidentical engraftment. The median durations of myeloid engraftment were 11 (9-28) days and 15 (9-330) days for platelets, with a cumulative platelet engraftment incidence of 96.1%. The incidence of infection was 58.27% (74/127). During a median follow-up of 20.5 (4-60) months, the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD was 24.79% (30/121), moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 14.15% (15/106), 4-year estimated overall survival was (78.5±4.3) %, 4-year estimated failure-free survival was (77.4±4.3) %, respectively. Conclusion Combination of HID-HSCT and an unrelated umbilical cord blood unit was a feasible choice with favorable outcome for SAA patients without matched donors.

Objectives To investigate the prenatal diagnosis method of spinal muscular atrophy with amniotic fluid sample.Methods Totally 1 064 amniotic fluid samples from mid-trimester pregnant women were enrolled during January 2015 and January 2016 in 4 hospitals.Genetic analysis was performed for detecting potential contamination of maternal tissue by a genetic technique based on short tandem repeat ( STR) markers.Deletion of SMN1 gene was detected in 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples by real-time PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification ( MLPA) respectively.Results Two contaminated amniotic fluid samples were detected within 1 064 mid-trimester pregnant women by STR genotyping.The other 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples were tested by real-time PCR.There were 37 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 7 of SMN1 gene ( 3.67%) , 34 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 8 of SMN1 gene (3.2%) and two samples with homozygous deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 of SMN1 gene ( 0.19%) respectively , while other samples observed with no deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 in SMN1 gene.Totally 41 samples with heterozygous or homozygous deletion of SMN 1 gene and 55 samples with undetected deletion of SMN 1 gene were confirmed by MLPA and the results showed 100%consistence with that of real-time PCR.Conclusions Both real-time PCR and MLPA are suitable for detecting the deletion of SMN 1 gene with amniotic fluid sample . Real-time PCR exhibits less sample requirement and time compared with MLPA .

Objective To explore the practicality and feasibility and evaluation of the team based learning method (TBL) combined with the clinical pathway leaning method (CP) in clinical teaching of department of gynecology and obstetrics. Methods Toltally 40 clinical specialist interns selected for the study were randomly divided into two groups (each 20) respectively, using TBL com-bined with CP teaching method and traditional teaching method, and to make analysis and comparisons on the above two teaching methods. Differences were compared with t testing. Meanwhile, a question-naire survey was carried out among students of TBL combined with CP teaching group for qualitative analysis of the implementation effect of TBL combined with CP pedagogy. (Qualitative analysis is the medical students' evaluation of teaching effect, without further statistical processing). Results The professional test results of TBL combined with CP teaching team were superior to the traditional teach-ing group [(83.95 ±7.63) vs. (72.00 ±5.26)] and the difference was significant by paired t tests and analysis (t=5.063,P<0.05). The knowledge contest results of TBL combined with CP teaching team were superior to the traditional teaching group(90 vs. 85,95 vs. 75,85 vs. 70). TBL combined with CP method has been recognized by 90% medical students and they think that most of their quality has been further improved. Conclusions TBL combined with CP method for the clinical teaching of de-partment of gynecology and obstetrics is practical and feasible, and should be widely applied.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of methotrexate with different methods of administrations com-bined with hysteroscopy in the treatment of scar pregnancy(CSP). METHODS:Data of 56 CSP patients were retrospectively ana-lyzed and divided into group A(26 cases)and group B(30 cases)by different methods of administrations. The fluid in group A was injected methotrexate 50 mg/m2 into the capsule,once a week. After 1 week,if the β-HCG was decreased less than or equal to 50%,the patient was additionally injected methotrexate;and if the β-HCG was decreased more than 50%,no more methotrexate was given,the lesion electrosurgical excision was conducted under hysteroscopy when β-HCG<1 000 mU/ml. Group B was inject-ed methotrexate 50 mg/m2 into muscle,once a week. After 1 week,if β-HCG was decreased less than or equal to 50%,the patient was additionally injected methotrexate;and if the β-HCG was decreased more than 50%,no more methotrexate was given,the le-sion electrosurgical excision was conducted under hysteroscopy when β-HCG<1 000 mU/ml. The clinic data was observed,includ-ing success rate,β-HCG before and 4,7,10 and 14 d after treatment and the mass diameter of CSP before and 7 and 14 d after treatment in 2 groups. The incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the suc-cess rate,mass diameter of CSP before and after treatment between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the β-HCG in 2 groups was significantly lower than before,14 d<10 d<7 d<4 d,and group A was lower than group B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in group A was significantly lower than group B,the difference was statis-tically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Methotrexate with different methods of administrations combined with hysteroscopy has good efficacy in the treatment of CSP,however,the safety of intracapsular injection is better than intramuscular injection.

Objective To evaluate the effects of applying clinical pathway (CP) in clinical teaching of gynecology and obstetrics. Methods Totally 200 clinical specialist interns selected for the study were randomly divided into two groups (each 100), respectively, using CP teaching and tradi-tional teaching. After the internship, professional assessment (clinical skills assessment, theory test, the respondent)were conducted to two groups of students and their professional examination scores were compared, while questionnaires were conducted in the CP teaching group. All date were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software. Chi-square test was used for enumeration date while t test was used for mea-surement data. Results CP teaching team of professional test results [(80.01 ± 9.34) vs. (72.37 ± 10.79)], the passing rate(96%vs. 87%) were superior to the traditional teaching group(P=0.000 and 0.022). The questionnaire showed that: applying CP in clinical teaching of obstetrics and gynecology can improve interns' learning enthusiasm and initiative, improve their comprehensive analysis ability, clinical thinking ability, practical ability and many other capabilities and it got about 90% of interns' recognition. Conclusions The application of the CP in clinical teaching of obstetrics and gynecology can help enhance the teaching effectiveness, standardize the teaching process, and improve the qual-ity of teachers teaching gynecology and obstetrics.
