OBJECTIVETo establish a model of immature rat hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) which was expected to be similar to periventricular leukomalacia in human preterm infants pathologically and neuroethologically, and to investigate the role of minocycline (MN) in this model.

METHODTotally 192 Sprague-Dawley rats (postnatal day 2, P(2)), of either sex, were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal-group, sham operation group, HIBD-group, HIBD + MN group, each group had 48 rats. HIBD group and HIBD + MN group survived the left common carotid artery (CCA) ligation followed by 4h exposure to 8% O(2). Rats in sham operation group only survived the left CCA isolation. Rats in normal group were not treated with anything. In HIBD + MN group, the rats were treated with intraperitoneal injection of minocycline 45 mg/kg, immediately after HI and every 24 h for 2 days. Brain tissues were collected on day 3, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks after HI, for hematoxylin-eosin staining and histological scoring. Frozen sections of the brains were stained with anti-O4, anti-O1 immunohistochemistry on day 3 after HI, and MBP immunohistochemistry 2 weeks after HI. Rats in the four groups underwent neuroethologic examination 4 weeks after HI.

RESULTIn the HIBD group, there were pathological changes in the periventricular white matter. The pathological changes were milder in HIBD + MN group; There was no statistically significant difference between the normal group and HIBD + MN group in the number of positively stained O4 cell (P > 0.05). The number of positively stained O4 cell in the HIBD group was significantly reduced, compared with that of normal group, sham operation group, and HIBD + MN group (23.67 ± 12.00 vs. 52.89 ± 10.68, 39.28 ± 11.78, 41.63 ± 8.41, P < 0.05). The differences in the number of positively stained O1 cell among the normal group, sham operation group, HIBD group and HIBD + MN group had no statistical significance (P = 0.093). The numbers of myelin basic protein (MBP) positively immunostained fiber bundles in the HIBD + MN group were significantly less than that of the normal group and sham operation group (P < 0.05). The numbers of MBP positively immunostained fiber bundles in the HIBD group were significantly less than that of the normal group, sham operation group, and HIBD + MN group (14.71 ± 7.42 vs. 36.67 ± 6.50, 35.50 ± 3.24, 26.33 ± 5.92, P < 0.05). The HIBD group had long-term neuroethologic abnormality. There was no statistically significant difference in the inclined plane test, hanging test and cylinder test among the HIBD + MN group, normal group, and sham operation group (P > 0.05). The scores of the HIBD group had statistical significantly among the normal group, sham operation group and HIBD + MN group (P < 0.05). In the open field test, there was no statistically significant difference between the HIBD group and HIBD + MN group (P = 0.772), but there was significant difference between these two groups and the normal group, sham operation group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONMinocycline protects the pre-oligodendrocyte and has protective effects in terms of long-term neuroethology.

Objective To investigate the status of exercise autonomy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients at stationary phase in community and to analyze the influencing factors of exercise autonomy so as to guide the external hospital control of COPD. Methods Totals of 124 COPD patients at stationary phase from three target communities in the area of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were investigated by the method of convenience sampling. We analyzed the status of exercise among them. Non-conditional Logistic stepwise regression was used to determine the influencing factors of exercise autonomy. Results A total of 122 valid questionaires were collected. Among 122 patient, 51 (41.80%) patients never carried out, 33 (27.05%) occasionally carried out and 38 (31.15%) persisted in respiratory function exercise. Besides, 44 (36.07%) patients never carried out, 36 (29.51%) occasionally carried out and 42 (34.43%) persisted in all-round exercise. There were 53 patients with the good exercise autonomy. The frequent hospitalization was the independent protective factor of patients' exercise autonomy (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions COPD patients at stationary phase in community have poor exercise autonomy. Patients with more frequent hospitalization tend to carry out exercise more actively.

Objective? To explore the effects of grading health education model on self-care behavior and health behavior among elderly bronchiectasis patients outside hospital. Methods? From March 2015 to March 2017, we selected 120 elderly bronchiectasis patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into control group and observation group with the method of the random number table, 60 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine health education. Observation group received the grading health education model dividing health education into three stages and pushing education content by WeChat;a total of 12 times of health education were implemented. The interventional cycle was three months between two groups. The Appraisal Self-Care Agency Scale-Reviewed (ASAS-R-C) and the Self-Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale (SRAHP) were used to assess the self-care behavior and health behavior of patients outside hospital. Results? Before intervention, there were no statistical differences in the score of ASAS-R-C and SRAHP (P＞ 0.05). After intervention, the dimension scores of ASAS-R-C, SRAHP and the total score were higher than those before intervention with statistical differences (P＜0.05). After intervention, the scores of self-care goal, self-care skill, the total score of ASAS-R-C, health responsibility, sport management and the total score of SRAHP of intervention group were (25.62±2.18), (24.52±2.41), (74.72±6.27), (24.78±2.75), (25.21±2.16) and (98.35±8.16) higher than those of control group with statistical differences (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Grading health education model is propitious for elderly bronchiectasis patients to clear the nursing goal, improve nursing skills, enhance their health responsibility and improve their sport management abilities which is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective:To explore the application effect of early warning model of chemotherapy complications in nursing care of non-small cell lung cancer during chemotherapy.Methods:By using convenient sampling method, 106 patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated by chemotherapy in the Thoracic Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to February 2019 were selected as the study objects. According to the time of admission, they were divided into the control group ( n=52) and the observation group ( n=54) . The control group was given routine nursing care during chemotherapy, while the observation group was given nursing care through early warning model of chemotherapy complications during chemotherapy. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30) were used to compare the intervention effect of the two groups, and the incidence of complications during chemotherapy was counted. Results:The total incidence of complications was 26.92% (14/52) in the observation group and 46.15% (24/52) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.147, P<0.05) . Three months after the intervention, HAMA (9.87±4.25) and HAMD (15.54±3.58) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group; the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.738, 8.296; P<0.05) . The functional score, symptom score, overall quality of life score and single measurement item score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:During chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, nursing through the early warning model of chemotherapy complications can reduce the incidence of chemotherapy complications, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, and improve the quality of life, which is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To explore downstream regulatory pathway of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in colon cancer cells (RKO) through detecting miR-21 and its target PDCD4, and the influence of miR-21 regulation on the sensitivity of RKO cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). METHODS 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to determine the effect of 5-FU on the viability of RKO cells with knockout of miR-21 or high expression of PDCD4. Real-time was used to determine the expression of PDCD4, ABCC5 and CD44 in RKO cell after knockout of miR-21. RESULTS MTT assay reveals that the IC50 of 5-FU in RKO-WT cells (52.82 ± 0.06 umol/L) was about 67% higher than in miR-21 knockout cells (32.23 ± 0.05 umol/L) (P < 0.05), and the apoptosis ratio elevated after knockout of miR-21. High expression of PDCD4, a target gene of miR-21, can negatively regulate the expression of ABC transporter ABCC5 and the stem cell marker CD44. CONCLUSION MiR-21 can mediate the drug resistance to 5-FU by inhibiting its target PDCD4, which can regulate the expression of ABCC5 and CD44 genes.

This study was aimed to investigate the expression level of Wnt5a gene in some hematologic diseases and leukemic cell lines so as to provide a basis for further research of Wnt5a role and its mechanism in hematologic malignancies. The mononuclear cells of peripheral blood and bone marrow were isolated by human lymphocytic isolation solution. The expression of Wnt5a gene in specimen of 31 cases and three leukemic cell lines (Jurkat, K562, HL-60) were detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that in four out of five AML cases, negative or weak positive expressions were observed and negative expressions were observed also in K562 and HL-60 cells. Only in one AML case with complete remission and Jurkat cells the strong positive expressions were observed. The negative expression was observed in all six CML cases. In three out of four ALL cases, the expression was positive or weak positive and one negative. The expressions in two CLL cases were negative. Out of two MM cases, the expression in one was weak positive and in other was negative. Out of three lymphoma cases, the expression in one case was weak positive and in other two cases were negative. There were positive or weak positive expressions in two cases of AA, two cases of IDA, three cases of ITP, one cases of PV and ET cases. It is concluded that there have obvious down-regulated or lost expression of Wnt5a gene in 31 cases of hematologic disease and myelocytic leukemic cell lines except ALL samples. Nevertheless there have general positive expression of Wnt5a in cases of non-malignant hematologic diseases. These results suggest that the genesis of myelocytic leukemia is related to the down-regulated expression of Wnt5a.

OBJECTIVETo compare the accuracies of cerebral state index (CSI) and bispectral index (BIS) in sedation monitoring during target control infusion of midazolam.

METHODSTwenty informed adult male volunteers were intravenously administered with midazolam through plasma target control infusion from 30ng/ml (in increments of 10ng/ml every time) until they became unresponsive to tactile stimulation (i. e., mild prodding or shaking). The BIS and CSI were continuously recorded simultaneously. Sedation was assessed using the Observers' Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale at each time when Ct equaled to Ce. The electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters were correlated with the OAA/S scores using nonparametric Spearman's correlation analysis. The prediction probabilities were calculated at the points of lost of verbal contact (LVC) and lost of responses to stimulus (LOR). BIS05, BIS50, BIS95, and CSI05, CSI50, CSI95 were also calculated for LVC and LOR.

RESULTSBIS and CSI were well correlation with OAA/S scales during both the onset and recovery phases. When the sedation level increased, BIS and CSI progressively decreased. The prediction probabilities of BIS and CSI were 84%, 74% for LVC and 79%, 68% for LOR, while the BIS05, BIS50, and BIS95 as well as CSI05, CSI50, and CSI95 were 85.5, 60.6, and 35.7 (for BISs) and 82.2, 65.2, and 30.3 (for CSIs) at the point of LVC and 79.7, 47.6, and 15.6 (for BISs) and 75.9, 43.4, and 11 (for CSIs) at the point of LOR.

CONCLUSIONSBoth CSI and BIS seem to be useful parameters for assessing midazolam-induced sedation. BIS is superior in the prediction of LVC and LOR.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of unintended pregnancy (UP) and exploring the risk factors of UP for married women of child-bearing age from Qingshan district,Wuhan.Methods A cross-sectional study was adopted in this study.Cluster sampling method was used with 3256 women recruited,in 2010.Information on history and risks related to social-demographic factors of UP were collected,using a self-administered questionnaire.Results Of the 3256 participants,over half of them (53.8％) reorted ever having had the history of UP and 9.1％ reported UP in the past year.Rate of UP in the past year for different age cohorts (18-30,31-40,41-49 years) were 31.8％,10.5％ and 1.8％ respectively.The most frequently reported reason for UP across all the age cohorts was "Did not use any contraceptive methods",with proportions on the reason that reported by women at 18-30,31-40 and 41-49 year-olds,were 69.7％,51.1％ and 42.4％ respectively.The second frequently reported reasons for UP were "Failure of traditional contraception" for younger cohort ( 18-30 years:13.0％ ) and "IUD dropped or pregnancy with IUD" for older-age cohorts (23.4％ at 31-40 year-olds and 37.0％ at the 41-49 year-oplds).The most frequently cited reason for "Did not use any contraceptive methods" was "Believe we were lucky so far,not to get pregnant" (59.6％).The risk factors of UP were being at older age,experiencing sex debut at younger age and got married at younger age.Conclusion The prevalence of lifetime UP history was high among women at child-bearing age from Qingshan district,Wuhan.Reproductive health services and interventions should be taken according to the needs from different age cohorts of women.Younger cohort of women should receive more attention.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of machine vision and deep learning methods in intelligent screening of pieces of Chinese medicine， so as to meet the needs of modern screening of pieces of Chinese medicine and overcome the problems of strong subjectivity and low efficiency in traditional screening based on manual experience. Method:An image set containing 11 125 images for 60 kinds of pieces of Chinese medicine was constructed， and the network architectures for high- and low-frequency feature learning were designed. Specifically， the parallel convolutional network was employed to obtain the low frequency feature and the deep multi-scale convolutional neural network to uncover the high-frequency feature. The semantic network was used to realize the feature learning mode with generalization ability. In this study， Wasserstein distance was introduced into the generative adversarial networks （GANs） to complete the screening of pieces of Chinese medicine， and the conditional parameters were added to the generation and discrimination networks to make the network training more reliable and improve the accuracy of identification. Result:The experiment results showed that when the ratio of training samples to test samples was greater than 6∶4， the identification accuracy of pieces of Chinese medicine was relatively stable. The identification accuracy of images captured in different states and environments by bi-view multi-feature network Wasserstein generative adversarial network （BMFnet-WGAN） reached up to 85.9% on average and the stability was high， demonstrating that BMFnet-WGAN was superior to VGG-Net and AlexNet. Conclusion:The BMFnet-WGAN method enables the revealing of rich and typical characteristics of decoction pieces and the introduced WGAN model and Wasserstein distance make the network training more reliable. The resulting accuracy， robustness， and batch effects in the intelligent screening of pieces of Chinese medicine were good， which has provided the technical support for the sorting and quantitative quality screening of pieces of Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVEIn order to study the diagnosis and treatment of HBV and HCV infection.

METHODSWe retrospectively analysed clinical data of 680 patients with cholangiocarcinoma from 1995 to 2001 and stated by SPSS software.

RESULTS(1) The fastigium of cholangiocarcinoma was 60 - 65 years old. The incidence of cholangiocarcinoma was higher in aged males and the sex ratio (male:female) was 1.36:1. (2) The proximal cholangiocarcinoma was most (41.6%) and distant cholangiocarcinoma was secondly (28.7%). (3) Most patients of cholangiocarcinoma were late. The resection rate was low and the rate of radical operation was 21.6% (147/680). (4) The incidence of proximal cholangiocarcinoma was higher in the positive Serologic marks for HBV and HCV and course of diseases was short. Moreover, the pathology of. positive Serologic marks for HBV and HCV trended to low-differentiation and invasion, metastasis and the resection rate was lower.

CONCLUSIONSCholangiocarcinoma is common in the aged males. The infection of HB(C)V and hilar cholangiocarcinoma are correlated and incline to the proximal bile duct. The hilar cholangiocarcinoma infected HB(C)V may have higher malignant degree in biological characteristics and more badly prognosis.
