Objective To study the correlation between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles and anti neutrophil cytoplasmatic antibodies (ANCA) in Han and Uygur ulcerative colitis (UC)patients in Xinjiang region.Methods The serum ANCA was determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay in 62 Uygur UC patients,58 Han UC patients,188 Uygur and 184 Han healthy control individuals.HLA-DRB1 typing was performed by polymerase chain reaction-sequence based typing (PCR-SBT).The allele frequency of HLA-DRB1 was compared in ANCA positive and negative Han and Uygur patients as well as healthy controls.Stratified analysis was performed according to UC clinical type,severity and involvement.SPSS 17.0 software was applied for x2 test.Once P＜0.05,the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence intervals (95％CI) was calculated.Results The positive rate of ANCA in Uygur UC patients (53.2％,33/62) was significantly higher than that of Han patients (34.5％,20/58) and the difference was statistically significant (x2=4.269,P =0.045).In Uygur,the gene frequency of HLA-DRB1 * 13 in ANCA positive UC patients (0.202)was significantly higher than that of ANCA negative patients (0.017) (x2 =10.092,P=0.016,OR=16.000,95％CI:2.892 to 88.524) and healthy controls (0.075) (x2=9.351,P＝0.040,OR=3.407,95％CI:1.666 to 6.971).The gene frequency of HLA-DRB1 * 13 in ANCA positive pancolitis type UC patients (9/15) was significantly higher than that of ANCA negative pancolitis type UC patients (1/14) and the difference was statistically significant (x2=8.955,P =0.040,OR =19.500,95％CI:2.787 to 136.461).However,in Han patients,there were no significant differences of HLA-DRB1 alleles frequencies among ANCA positive patients,ANCA negative patients and healthy controls (all P＞0.05),and the results of stratified analysis were same.Conclusions In Uygur UC patients of Xinjiang region,HLA-DRB1 * 13 may correlated with ANCA and with ANCA of pancolitis type UC patients.There is no such correlation in Han patients of Xinjiang region.

Objective To investigate neonatal cerebral oxygenation after hypoxia.Methods Cerebral oxygenation of 39 babies with perinatal hypoxia and 42 neonates without hypoxia was ob- served under quiet state and stimulation of sound by Near Infrared Spectroscopy(NIRS) and com- paired with the findings of EEG and image studies.Results In normal neonates cerebral oxygena- tion was steady under quiet state,where as it increased after sound stimulation.However,newborns with hypoxia showed inhibited brain activities with little changes in cerebral oxygenation in response to sound stimuli.Episodes of deoxygenation were found in 13 cases during monitoring.Conclusion After perinatal hypoxic brain damage,the function of cerebral oxygenation can be still abnomal for a certain period,which is related to the degree of brain damage.

Objective To investigate the knowledge level and needs in Xinjiang Uygur and Han patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), compare the differences between the two ethnic groups. Methods A total of 194 Uygur and Han UC patients were investigated with the general information questionnaire, the Crohn′s and Colitis Knowledge Score (CCKNOW) questionnaire, disease related knowledge needs questionnaire, to analyze the investigate results. Results CCKNOW score of Uygur and Han UC were (6.9±3.5) points and (9.2±3.1) points respectively, and Uygur was significantly lower than that of Han (Z=-2.831, P=0.005). Knowledge accuracy of dietary (30% and 63%) and drug (45% and 44%) were higher than general information (24% and 32%) and complications (12% and 30%) . Disease related knowledge needs score of Uygur and Han UC patients were (168.2±15.6) points and (155.4±17.2) points respectively, the score of Uygur patients was significantly higher than that of Han patients (t=4.429, P=0.001).The highest disease related knowledge needs score was (4.7±1.0) points of reproductive knowledge for Uygur UC patients, for Han patients was knowledge of daily life which was (4.8 ± 0.8) points. Conclusions The disease related knowledge level of Xinjiang Uygur and Han UC patients are relatively low, especially lack of general knowledge and diet knowledge, disease related knowledge of Uygur UC patients are lower than Han patients. The needs of the disease knowledge are very high for two ethnic groups, different one has different ethnic, gender, age, education level, living environment, hospitalization times, areas of disease related knowledge needs are also different. It is necessary to choose the targeted education content and suitable education way according to individual differences for nursing staff.

Objective To investigate the conrelation between neutrophils lymphocytes ratio (NLR) and disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods Case-control study was used to compare NLR differences of 82 active UC patients,45 inactive UC patients,and 254 healthy controls.The multivariate analysis was applied to analyze the correlation between the NLR,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),Creactive protein (CRP),white blood cells (WBCs),and UC activity.The sensitivity and specificity of NLR to identify UC activity was evaluated.Results NLR of active UC group was 2.45 ± 1.22,which was significantly higher than that of inactive UC group and healthy control group,their NLR were 1.92 ± 0.68 and 1.83 ±0.75,respectively (H =9.991,P =0.007).The multivariate analysis showed that only CRP was correlated with UC activity (OR =1.396,95％ CI:1.086 ～ 1.795,P =0.009).Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the optimum NLR cut-off point for UC activity was 2.23,the sensitivity and specificity were 55.82％ and 62.75％,respectively.Conclusions NLR has a certain reference value for the evaluation of UC activity,but it cannot be independent as a clinical index to evaluate the UC activity.

Objective To investigate clinical characteristics and related factors of ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods One hundred and thirty-seven newly diagnosed patients with UC from 2006 to 2009 in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected as our subjects.The clinical data were recorded and the patients were followed up for 3 years.Results Of 137 patients,complete remission rate was 38.69％ (53/137),and partial response rate was 61.31％ (84/137).The overall effective rate was 100％ (137/137).The 1-year cumulative relapse rate was 26.28％ (36/137),and 2-year cumulative relapse rate was 49.64％ (68/137),59.85％ (82/137) for 3-year cumulative relapse rate.The occasion rate (≤ 1 time/year)was 27.01％ (37/137),and frequency (≥2 times/year) was 32.85％ (45/137).Fifty-five patients (40.15％ (55/137)) were no recurrence within 3 years.Relapse rate were not relate to gender (P ＞0.05).The relapse rate of patients less than 50 years was 68.09％ (64/94) substantially higher than that over 50 age group (41.86％ (18/43),x2 =8.444,P ＜ 0.05).The relapse rate of Uygur patients (70.42％,50/71) was substantially higher than the Han (48.48 ％ (32/66),x2 =6.851,P ＜ 0.05).The relapse rate of left colon and extensive colon were 71.64％ (48/67) and 71.88％ (23/32),higher than that of rectum(28.94％,11/38) (P＜ 0.05).The relapse rate of severe group (82.61％,19/23) was higher than that of the mild (52.38％,33/63)and moderate groups (58.82％,30/51) (P ＜ 0.05).In maintenance of mitigation group,52.73％ patients (29/55) were received maintenance treatment and relapse of those patients were significantly higher than recurrence group (31.71％,26/82,P ＜ 0.05).Mental stress may be the top one risk factor,which lead to recurrence of UC (64.63％,53/82),followed by imbalance diet (56.10％,46/82) and overwork (39.02％,32/82).Conclusion Relapse rate of the Uygnr UC patients was higher than that of the Han,and young adults has the higher recurrence rates than the elder.The factors of lesion extent,severity,ability to maintain treatment are related to recurrence of UC.Stress,imbalance diet and overwork are risk factors of recurrence of UC.

PurposeHeroin addiction is a chronic and recurrent functional brain disease, there are some functional changes in specific brain regions, but the network character remains unclear. The aim of this paper is to explore the network character of brain resting-state functional network in heroin addicts, to identify the potential neuromechanism of heroin addiction from the perspective of brain network.Materials and Methods Thirty heroin addicts (HA group) and twenty-nine healthy controls (control group) underwent resting-state functional MRI scanning using GE 3.0T MRI scanner. The brain functional networks were constructed based on graph theory, the small-world properties and node properties were calculated and compared between the two groups, the correlation between the total dosage of heroin and node degree was analyzed.Results Compared with control group, the small world characteristics of HA group was altered with statistically significant difference (P<0.05, corrected by false discovery rate); the node degrees in orbit frontal regions increased, while those in occipital brain regions decreased (P<0.05, corrected by false discovery rate). No correlation was found in HA group between node degree and the total dosage of heroin.Conclusion These results suggest that topology of functional brain networks were altered in heroin addicts which tends to random networks; increased motivational driving to the salience of drug and decreased visuospatial attention in heroin addicts may provide a strategy for identifying the neuromechanism of heroin addiction.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of new onset diffuse type ulcerative colitis.Methods From May 2007 to March 2012,clinical data of hospitalized patients diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Autonomous Region as new onset ulcerative colitis were retrospectively analyzed,and constituent ratios of nationality,gender,age at diagnosis,residential environment,severity of disease,clinical symptoms,results of laboratory examination,results of colonoscopic examination and results of histopathological examination were compared among the diffuse type,the type of proctosigmoiditis and the type of left-sided colitis.Normal distribution data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance,skew distribution data and ordinal data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H test,and count data were analyzed by chi-square test in the comparison among the three groups.Results A total of 67 patients with new-onset diffuse type ulcerative colitis were enrolled.The constituent ratios of Han nationality,Uygur nationality and Kazak nationality were 32.8％(22/67),58.2％(39/67),and 9.0％(6/67),respectively.The ratio of male to female was 1.48∶ 1.The age at diagnosis was (43.27 ± 16.91) years old.The ratio of city to countryside was 3.19∶ 1.To the severity of the disease,mild was more common,the proportion of mild,moderate and severe were 56.7％(38/67),20.9％(14/67) and 22.4％ (15/67),respectively.Abdominal pain,diarrhea and purulent stools were the predominant symptoms.Some patients might have fever and tenesmus,a few patients accompanied with abdominal distension,nausea,vomiting and peripheral arthritis.The percentage of increasesed erythrocyte sedimentation rate,hypersensitive Creation protein and plasmatic fibrinogen was 37.3％(25/67),44.8％(30/67) and 31.3％ (21/67),respectively.To compare with patients with proctosigmoiditis and left-sided colitis,the patients with new-onset diffuse type colitis had higher Mayo score and were more prone to develop abdominal pain,diarrhea,severe colitis,and were more common in Uygur nationality.There were statistical differences in abdominal pain,diarrhea,severity,ratio of Uygur nationality and Mayo score in pairwise comparison among the three groups (all P＜0.017).Conclusion Abdominal pain,diarrhea and Uygur nationality are more common in new onset diffuse ulcerative colitis in Xinjiang Region,with relatively high Mayo score and mild to moderate degree,while severity significantly increased compared to the type of proctosigmoiditis and the type of left-sided colitis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of inhibiting high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) gene expression on the invasion and migration of endometrial carcinoma HEC-1A cells by small hairpin RNA. METHODS: Three specific recombinant plasmids of HMGB1 (pshRNA-1 /HMGB1, pshRNA-2 / HMGB1, and pshRNA-3/HMGB1) were transfected into the endometrial cancer cell lines HEC- 1A by lipofectamine (TM) 2000. The expression of HMGB1 mRNA and protein was decteted by RTPCR and Western blot. The invasion and migration abilities of transfected HEC-1A cells were evaluated using Transwell assay and wound healing assay. RESULTS: RT-PCR and Western blot revealed that the expression of HMGB1 at both mRNA and protein levels was significantly inhibited by HMGB1-pshRNA targeting sequence 1, 2, and 3 (P<0.05), and the levels of 3 mRNAs in the transfection group were 0.192±0.006, 0.055±0.002, and 0.123±0.086, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the Lipo group (0.268±0.008) and the HMGB1/p-NC group (0.270±0.004). The maximum inhibiton rates of the 3 mRNAs were 28.4%, 79.5%, and 54.1%. The levels of 3 HMGB1 proteins in the transfection group were 0.259±0.129, 0.032±0.002, and 0.104±0.007, significantly lower than those in the Lipo group (0.347±0.007) and the HMGB1/p-NC group (0.349±0.007), and the maximum inhibitory rates were 25.4%, 90.8%, and 70.0%. The transwell chamber assay and wound healing assay showed that the invasion and migration of HEC-1A cells were effectively suppressed by inhibiting HMGB1 expression (P<0.05). CONCLUSION pshRNA-HMGB1 can effectively inhibit HMGB1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, and decrease the invasion and migration of endometrial cancer cells.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection(LAPR) with pelvic peritoneum closure for patients with low rectal cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 90 patients with low rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection from Mar 2014 to Jan 2019 at the Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into closed pelvic floor peritoneum group (study group, n=42) and without pelvic floor peritoneum group (control group, n=48) . Results:The postoperative hospital stay of the study group was shorter than that of the control group[(10.8±3.0) d vs. (12.4±3.1) d, t=2.569, P=0.013]. There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time , intraoperative blood loss , time to first flatus ,first time of getting out of bed between the two groups. Perineal incision infection and perineal incision dehiscence occurred in 2 cases and 1 case in the study group, and 10 cases and 9 cases in the control group respectively (χ 2= 5.007, P=0.025; χ 2=6.077, P=0.033). In the study group, there were 0 cases of perineal hernia, 1 case of pelvic floor peritoneal hernia and 2 cases of adhesive intestinal obstruction, while those in the control group were 7 cases, 8 cases and 9 cases, respectively (χ 2=6.642, P=0.013; χ 2=5.079, P=0.033; χ 2=4.085, P=0.043). Conclusion:Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with pelvic peritoneum closure significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative perineal-related complications and shorten postoperative hospital stay.
