Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of parastomal hernia in patients with permanent colostomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conduc-ted. The clinicopathological data of 72 patients with permanent colostomy in the Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to June 2020 were collected. There were 50 males and 22 females, aged (66±12)years. Observations indicators: (1) follow-up; (2) analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia; (3) comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination. Patients were followed up once every 12 months after surgery to detect the incidence of parastomal hernia up to September 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers and percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the parastomal hernia occurrence curve and calculate the incidence rate of parastomal hernia and Log-rank test was used to analyze the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results:(1) Follow-up. All 72 patients were followed up for 23(range, 12?76)months. During the follow-up, there were 31 patients developed parastomal hernia, with the incidence as 20.8%(15/72), 36.1%(26/72) and 43.1%(31/72) at postoperative 1 year, postoperative 2 year and postoperative 5 year, respectively. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 21 cases of type Ⅰ, 3 cases of type Ⅱ and 7 cases of type Ⅲ. Patients with parastomal hernia recovered with conservative treatment. (2) Analysis of factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were related factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( χ2=7.98, t=?2.95, 2.02, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness were independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia ( odds ratio=4.07, 3.19, 0.07, 95% confidence interval as 1.46?11.32, 1.43?7.09, 0.01?0.84, P<0.05). (3) Comparison of the incidence of parastomal hernia in patients with different age. Of the 72 patients, there were 37 cases with age <65 years and 35 cases with age >65 years. Of the 31 patients with parastomal hernia, there were 10 cases with age<65 years and all of them with type Ⅰ parastomal hernia, and the incidence of parastomal hernia in postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year was 13.5%(5/37) and 27.0%(10/37), respectively. There were 21 cases with age ≥65 years and cases with type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ parastomal hernia were 11, 3 and 7, respectively. The postoperative 1 year and postoperative 2 year incidence of parastomal hernia in the 21 cases was 28.6%(10/35) and 45.7%(16/35), respectively. There was a significant difference in the incidence of parastomal hernia between patients<65 years and ≥65 years ( χ2=9.28, P<0.05). Conclusion:Age, subcutaneous fat thickness and rectus abdominis thickness are independent factors affecting the incidence of parastomal hernia.

In the process of achieving the “Healthy China 2030” goal, the importance of health knowledge popularization behavior is increasingly prominent. Medical communication has emerged to meet the growing demand for medical popularization and improve the shortage of professional medical staff in medical knowledge popularization. At present, literature is relatively scarce on the development process of medical communication in the academic community. By analyzing the development process of this discipline, this paper divided the development process of the knowledge system of medical communication into three stages, including the “initial stage”, the “practical exploration stage”, and the “rapid development stage”. After summarizing the different characteristics exhibited in the three stages, it can be concluded that the number of colleges and universities offering medical communication courses is gradually increasing, and social organizations such as the Society of Medical Communication have been established one after another, expanding the influence of the discipline. The development of medical communication not only helps to enhance the popularization and communication abilities of medical students, but also accelerates the development of China’s health industry through its extensive influence at the practical level.

Dracaena marginata is a widely cultivated horticultural plant in the world, which has high ornamental and medicinal value. In this study, the whole genome of leaves from D. marginata was sequenced by Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform. The chloroplast genome were assembled for functional annotation, sequence characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. The results showed that the chloroplast genome of D. marginata composed of four regions with a size of 154 926 bp, which was the smallest chloroplast genome reported for Dracaena species to date. A total of 132 genes were identified, including 86 coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Codon bias analysis found that the codon usage bias was weak and there was a bias for using A/U base endings. 46 simple sequence repeat and 54 repeats loci were detected in the chloroplast genome, with the maximum detection rate in the large single copy region and inverted repeat region, respectively. The inverted repeats boundaries of D. marginata and Dracaena were highly conserved, whereas gene location differences occurred. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. serrulata and D. cinnabari form a monophyletic clade, which was the closest relationship and conformed to the morphological classification characteristics. The analysis of the chloroplast genome of D. marginata provides important data basis for species identification, genetic diversity and chloroplast genome engineering of Dracaena.

Bromodomain containing protein 4 (BRD4), as an epigenetic reader, can specifically bind to the acetyl lysine residues of histones and has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for various diseases, including cancer, cardiac remodeling and heart failure. Herein, we described the discovery of hit 5 bearing 4-phenylquinazoline skeleton through a high-throughput virtual screen using 2,003,400 compound library (enamine). Then, structure-activity relationship (SAR) study was performed and 47 new 4-phenylquinazoline derivatives toward BRD4 were further designed, synthesized and evaluated, using HTRF assay set up in our lab. Eventually, we identified compound C-34, which possessed better pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties as well as lower cytotoxicity against NRCF and NRCM cells, compared to the positive control JQ1. Using computer-based molecular docking and cellular thermal shift assay, we further verified that C-34 could target BRD4 at molecular and cellular levels. Furthermore, treatment with C-34 effectively alleviated fibroblast activation in vitro and cardiac fibrosis in vivo, which was correlated with the decreased expression of BRD4 downstream target c-MYC as well as the depressed TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings indicate that novel BRD4 inhibitor C-34 tethering a 4-phenylquinazoline scaffold can serve as a lead compound for further development to treat fibrotic cardiovascular disease.
