Objective To observe the effect of autophagy on paclitaxel-induced CaSki cell death through the regulation of the expression of autophagy gene Beclin1, and to explore the interaction and relationship between autophagy and apoptosis. Methods Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 and RNA interference vector pSUPER-Beclin1 were transfected into human cervical cancer CaSki cells in vitro and screened for stable expression cell lines. The formation of autophagic vacuoles was observed with an electronic microscope. The expression of Beclin1 and LC3 was measured by Western blot. After being treated with paclitaxel, the change of cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay, the percentage of apoptotic cells and autophagic cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results A lot of autophagic vacuoles were observed in pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 cells by electronic microscopy. Beclin1 and LC3 protein expression was up-regulated in CaSki cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-Beclin1, and was inhibited in cells transfected with pSUPER-Beclin1. MTT assay revealed the survival rate of CaSki cells was significantly decreased after being transfected with pcDNA3.1-Beclin1. After being treated with paclitaxel, the percentages of apoptotic cells and autophagic cells were both increased in pcDNA3.1-Beclin1 group compared with that of the blank control group especially the increase of apoptosis was particularly evident. Conclusion Autophagy and apoptosis have different roles in the process of paclitaxel-induced cervical cancer CaSki cell line death. Overexpression of Beclin1 in CaSki cells may enhance the apoptosis induced by paclitaxel.

Objective To investigate the short term effect of licartin transarterial infusion in combination with chemoembolization (LTACE) and compare its effect with conventional transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Seventy-two cases of advanced HCC were included in this analysis.There were 50 males and 22 females with the average age of (58±12) yrs (range 34-86 yrs).Twenty-nine patients received LTACE treatment while the other forty three patients received conventional TACE treatment.Before intervention,there was no variation (P>0.05) in gender (X2 =0.202),Child-Pugh grading for hepatic function (X2=2.428),as well as in white blood cell count (t=1.101)and platelet count (t =0.080) between the two groups except for age and portal vein thrombosis.For LTACE group,30 minutes after the infusion of licartin (27.75 MBq/kg) into proper hepatic artery,an emulsion of 40 rag pharmorubicin and 30 ml uhrafluid lipidol was infused until hemostasis within target artery.For TACE group,only an emulsion of 40 nag pharmorubicin and 30ml uhrafluid lipidol was infused until hemostasis within target artery.Following these interventions,the two groups were given the same treatment to stabilize hepatic function and relief embolization-relating symptoms; Patients' follow-up included clinical symptoms and signs,hepatic and renal function,peripheral blood test,CT and radionuclide study(ECT).All data were analyzed with SPSS 11.5.Measurement data were expressed with mean and processed by t test; numeration data were processed by Chi square test and Fisher precise test; Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were applied for comparing the survival rate of the two groups.P <0.05 means the exist of a statistic variation.Results After treatment,there was no variation of Albumin,GPT,serum bilirubin,white blood cell,platelet and serum creatinine level between the two groups [t=0.250,0.907,0.629,0.005,0.250,0.453 (7 days) and 0.978,1.250,1.942,0.733,0.315,1.243 (14 days); P >0.05].ECT imaging demonstrated a 55.17% (16/29) uptake ratio of licartin within tumor areas by the time of 7-days follow-up study.The lesions in both LTACE and TACE groups exhibited a decrease in their size and statistically significant difference was demonstrated before and after treatment in either group( t=7.207,8.006,P <0.01).But between the two groups,the tumor size reduction showed no statistical difference,the tumor size in LTACE and TACE groups were( 1.68±0.32),(1.74±0.31)respectively (t =0.786,P>0.05)before treatment and(1.52±0.38),(1.61±0.36) respectively(t=0.891,P>0.05) after treatment.There was no variation between the two groups comparing the 6 months cumulative survival rate(LTACE 52%,TACE 76%,log-rank test,X2=3.080,P >0.05).Conclusion There was no statistically significant differences between LTACE and TACE groups concerning the short term effect and adverse reaction for treatment of advanced HCC.The long term outcomes should be established on the basis of a large-sample,multiconter,randomized trail.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Haplo-HSCT) combined with third-party umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion in treatment of high-risk lymphoblastic malignancies. Methods The clinical data of 20 patients with high-risk lymphoblastic malignancies who received Haplo-HSCT from April 2012 to April 2015 in Shanghai General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, which were compared with the data from 15 patients who underwent matched unrelated donor HSCT (MUD-HSCT) or 14 matched sibling donor HSCT (MSD-HSCT) during the same period. The efficacy of Haplo-HSCT combined with UCB infusion in treatment of high-risk lymphoblastic malignancies was evaluated. The preparative regimen mainly consisted of teniposide, cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (TBI). Graft versus host disease (GVHD) preparative regimen included cyclosporine and a short term of methotrexate. The patients who received Haplo-HSCT combined with UCB infusion and MUD-HSCT were treated with antithymocyte globulin (ATG). Results After the transplantation, one patient in MUD-HSCT group and one in MSD-HSCT group died within 21 days, and other patients were engrafted successfully. The median time of neutrophil engraftment was 13 days (10-18 d), 12 days (9-16 d) and 12 days (9-14 d) in Haplo-HSCT + UCB group, MUD-HSCT group and MSD-HSCT group, respectively; the median time of platelets engraftment was 11 days (9-18 d), 12 days (10-23 d) and 12 days (9-14 d), respectively. There were 10, 3, 3 cases of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳacute GVHD at day 100 in the three groups, respectively, and there were 6, 4, 3 cases of chronic GVHD in the three groups, respectively. The 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 40.6%, 66.2% and 26.7%, respectively. The predicted 2-year overall survival rate was 37.9%, 42.9% and 55.4%, respectively. All these data had no significant difference (all P＞ 0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of Haplo-HSCT combined with UCB infusion is similar to that of MUD-HSCT or MSD-HSCT in treatment of high-risk lymphoblastic malignancies, which should be recommended to the patients with high-risk lymphoblastic malignancies and without matched donors.

BACKGROUND: 3D-printing is widely used in regenerative medicine and is expected to achieve vaginal morphological restoration and true functional reconstruction. Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exos) were applyed in the regeneration of various tissues. The current study aimed to explore the effctive of MSCs-Exos in vaginal reconstruction. METHODS: In this work, hydrogel was designed using decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) and gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and silk fibroin (SF). The biological scaffolds were constructed using desktop-stereolithography.The physicochemical properties of the hydrogels were evaluated; Some experiments have been conducted to evaluate exosomes’ effect of promotion vaginal reconstruction and to explore the mechanism in this process. RESULTS: It was observed that the sustained release property of exosomes in the hydrogel both in vitro and in vitro.The results revealed that 3D scaffold encapsulating exosomes expressed significant effects on the vascularization and musule regeneration of the regenerative vagina tissue. Also, MSCs-Exos strongly promoted vascularization in the vaginal reconstruction of rats, which may through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The use of exosome-hydrogel composites improved the epithelial regeneration of vaginal tissue, increased angiogenesis, and promoted smooth muscle tissue regeneration. 3D-printed, lumenal scaffold encapsulating exosomes might be used as a cell-free alternative treatment strategy for vaginal reconstruction.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the biomechanical effect of anterior screw fixation on the type II fractured odontoid process.

METHODSTwenty fresh human C1-C2 vertebrae specimens were harvested and randomly divided into three groups. The angle of type II fracture line was 0 degree in group I (n=6), 17 degrees in group II (n=8) and 25 degrees in group III (n=6). The fractures were treated by anterior screw fixation. Insertion torque,maximal axial pullout force and stiffness of the bone-screw were tested.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference of screw insertion torque and the pull-out strength between each group. The displacement of the odontoid fragment had an association to the angle of the fracture line,the displacement of the small angle was significantly higher than that of the large one (P < 0.5). No significant difference of structure stiffness of the bone-screw was found between each group.

CONCLUSIONAnterior screw fixation is feasible for type II odontoid fracture with certain fracture line extends from anteroinferior to posterosuperior.

A patient aged 68 years old presented urinary frequency, urgency, and gross hematuria for 1 month, with initial PSA of 72.72 ng/ml and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)of 114 U/L. Prostate biopsy pathology showed small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of prostate. The patient was immediately administered 6 cycle of chemotherapy including etoposide and cisplatin combined with medical castration. The CDK4 gene was detected 1.99 times amplification by peripheral blood free DNA (cfDNA)gene analysis. The chemotherapy was followed by parbosini therapy. The number and density of bone metastases continued to decrease significantly by bone scan at 3 and 6 months after treatment, with a continuous decline of ALP and PSA. After 1 year of follow-up, pelvic MRI and bone systemic imaging indicated stable lesions, with PSA of 0.05 ng/ml and ALP of 59 U/L.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation and influencing factors of health service demands of new residents in Shanghai. MethodsFrom July to August 2020， a questionnaire survey was conducted in 1 358 new residents from 36 survey points in 7 districts of the city. The questionnaire included the basic medical insurance coverage in the inflow area， the current situation of medical demand and related influencing factors， and the demands for other health services. Results47.1%（562/1 194）of new residents did not choose to seek timely medical treatment when they were not feeling well. The main reason was that the working hours occupied the medical treatment time. Logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the medical needs in new residents were the average daily working hours， living area and type of residence， health status， physical examination and physical exercise， and the type of basic medical insurance. The demands of new residents for "health consultation of common diseases and frequently occurring diseases"， "health behavior intervention （such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction）"， "medical guidance and publicity"， "accidental injury prevention （traffic， work， falling， etc.）" and "maintenance of legitimate rights and interests of health" were 57.1%（682/1 194）、41.3%（493/1 194）、34.9%（417/1 194）、32.2%（385/1 194） and 31.9%（381/1 194）， respectively. ConclusionNew residents demands for medical services cannot be met. We should actively improve the working and living conditions of new residents， improve the construction of new residents' health service system， and improve the utilization level of health services.

Objective To investigate the fertility history and demand for reproductive health services of new residents in Shanghai. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 358 new residents in 36 survey sites in 7 districts of Shanghai from July to September 2020. The content includes fertility history， induced abortion history， demand for reproductive health-related services， awareness rate of the Shanghai Family Planning Association and service access rate， etc. Results Among the new residents themselves and their spouses/sexual partners， 31.3% （374/1 194） had been pregnant once and 33.6% （401/1 194） had been pregnant twice； 46.3% （533/1 194）had one child and 29.7% （355/1 194）had two children. The difference of number of births among new residents with different residence time， those who did or did not possess permanent residency or residence permits， and those from different sources （urban or rural） was statistically significant （ χ ²=158.664， 50.263， 16.011， 114.419， all P <0.001）. Among the new residents themselves and their spouses / sexual partners， the proportion of induced abortion of more than once was 36.1%. The difference of the number of abortions of new residents with or without permanent residency was statistically significant （ χ ²=19.389， P <0.001）. The awareness rate of new residents of the harm of induced abortion to health was 92.1% （1 100/1 194）； There were significant differences in the scientific knowledge of harm of induced abortion to health among new residents with different local residence time and those with or without a residence permit （ χ ²=36.590， 20.926， both P <0.001）. The awareness rate of the Family Planning Association was 82.6% （986/1 194）， and the service access rate was 51.3% （613/1 194）. Permanent residency and residence permits are the main factors that affect the service accessibility of the Shanghai Family Planning Association. 44.8% （535/1 194） of new residents hope to receive reproductive health services in their place of residence， and they are most concerned about knowledge on good prenatal and postnatal care. Conclusion We should further publicize the "three-child" fertility policy， advocate a friendly fertility culture， and provide new residents with people-centered and accurate reproductive health services adapted to their needs through multi-sectoral cooperation， so as to improve their reproductive health level.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.
