Objective　To investigate the relationship between the apnea events and the correspondent sleep stage. Methods 68 normal volunteers were studied with polysomnography to confirm the sleep stage of the apnea events. Results Sleep apnea events were found in each different sleep stage. The events happened frequently in light sleep stage, most in stage 2. There were no significant sleep stage distribution difference in different sex .The number and severity of apnea events were also not relative with the sleep stage distribution. Conclusion Apnea events happened most frequently in light sleep stage. The reason is still unclear.

This study was aimed to analyze the major protein composition of centipedes (Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L.Koch.), and the ACE inhibitory activity of its hydrolysis. Albumins, gulbulins, coixins and glutelins were sequentially extracted from centipedes flour with corresponding buffer and then quantified by Kjeldahl method and Brandford. Hydrolysation of four kinds of proteins of centipedes and the residues were conducted with pepsin. The hydrolysis was ultrafiltrated (MWCO=3 000) and lyophilized. The peptides (≤3 kD) were obtained to evalu-ate the ACE inhibitory activity by RP-HPLC. The results showed that the total protein content of centipedes was (62.69±1.41)%. Among which the contents of albumins, globulins, coixins, glutelins and residual were account-ing for (6.42±0.31)%, (7.94±0.24)%, (4.31±0.34)%, (40.66±0.56)% and (25.78±0.60)%, respectively. The inhibition rate of hydrolysis of four kinds of protein and residual were 50.28%, 57.37%, 31.15%, 58.99%, 80.81%, respectively. It was concluded that centipedes were rich in protein and the hydrolyzate of all proteins manifested ACE inhibitory activity at different extent. The residual and glutelins indicated strong ACE inhibitory potential by hydrolysis. This research provided valuable sights for exploring hypotensive activity and functional food from centi-pedes.

Objective To analyze the differential gene expression profiling of liver in rats subjected to hemorrhagic shock(HS) and sham hemorrhage shock(SHAM) by gene chip technology, thus to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of HS. Method 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a SHAM group and a HS group, with 10 rats in each group. Hepatic gene expression profiles were detected by oligonucleotide microarrays of 5705 mouse genes in two groups for three times. Genes with ratio(R) > 2 were identified as up-regulated and R < 0.5 were identified as down-regulated. Biological function of differentially expressed genes was analyzed and 9 genes were selected to undergo semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results Among the total 5705 probes detected,86 genes showed differential expression in HS group comparison with SHAM group. The expression levels of 72 genes were up-regulated while those of 14 genes were down-regulated significantly. Differentially expressed genes were classified according to their biological function: transport genes, transcription regulator genes, signaling genes, response to stress genes, metabolic genes, development genes and cell adhesion genes. Conclusions cDNA microarray is an efficient and high-throughout method to survey gene expression profiles in HS.The variation of those gene expressions might be a potential pathogenic mechanism for HS that may offer a novel target for further study of therapeutic strategies of HS.

Objective To study the temporo-spatial changing laws of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the rat model of sciatic nerve ligation.Methods Totally 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group(n=6)and experimental groups which survived for 1,3,5,7,14,21,28 d respectively after sciatic nerve ligation(n=6 at each time point).The distribution and quantity of CGRP in sciatic nerve,dorsal root ganglion(DRG)and spinal cord were detected by immunohistochemistry and image analysis methods.Results A large amount of CGRP piled up in the sciatic nerve at 1 d after the ligation,significantly higher in proximal segment than that in distal segment,gradually dropping till disappear basically at 14 d in proximal segment and at 7 d in distal segment.The expression of CGRP in DRG at 7 d began to drop after the ligation,at 21 d to the minimal value and at 28 d lower than normal.The CGRP-immunoreactivety in ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn at 14 d decreased after operation,but the immuno-positive areas of CGRP were of no changes.There are no changes in the CGRP-positive spinal ventral motoneurons of all groups.Conclusion The changes of CGRP presented a temporo-spatial pattern following peripheral nerve legation,maybe resulting from the deficiency of neurothrophins from target organs.

Objective: TO explore the effect of VEGF-C gene transfection on the expression of VEGF-C in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and the mechanisms of its anti-apoptosis effect. Methods: The con-structed pcDNA3.1(+)NEGF-C vector was transformed into human cervical cancer HeLa cells and was select-ed by G418. The changes in the expression level of VEGF-C mRNA and protein were determined by semi-quantitive RT-PCR and ELISA. HeLa cells with overexpression of VEGF-C were named as HeLa/S1. The expression level of NF-KB and bcl-2 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR in transfected cells. Results: After transfection by liposome, the VEGF-C mRNA level and the expression of VEGF-C protein in transfected cells were higher than those in the control groups. HeLa/S1 cell line was successfully established. In HeLa/S1 cells, the expression of NF-κB (2.06±0.09 vs 1.35±0.02 vs 1.38±0.02 P<0.05) and bcl-2 gene mRNA (2.02± 0.67 vs 0.41±0.06 vs 0.37±0.06, P<0.05) level were higher than those in the control groups. Conclusion: VEGF-C gene transfection by liposome can increase the expression of VEGF-C in human cervical cancer HeLa cells. NF-κB is stimulated and induces the overexpression of bcl-2 gene in HeLa/S1 cells.

Objective To analyze pathological and ultrasound imaging features of breast cancer in young women. Methods The pathological and ultrasound imaging data of 42 young female breast cancer patients(≤35 years old,the young group)between January 2016 and October 2017 from the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, 62 elder female breast cancer patients (> 60 years old, the elder group) simultaneously diagnosed by pathology (age≥60 years) were randomly selected as the control group. Results The vessel carcinoma embolus rate and lymph node metastasis positive rate in the young group were higher than those in the elder group [31.0 % (13/42) vs. 29.0 %(18/62),59.5 %(25/42)vs.38.7 %(24/62)],and there was no difference between the two groups(χ2=16.187, χ2= 5.749, both P< 0.05). Compared with the elder group, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) in the young group was lower (χ2= 11.598, P = 0.001). The positive rates of Ki-67 and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) in the young group were higher (χ2= 5.396, P = 0.024; χ2= 5.166, P =0.026). Inhomogeneous internal echo of breast cancer, microcalcifications, flow classification (grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ) and resistance index (RI) ratio in the young group were higher than those in the elder group [83.3 % (35/42) vs. 59.7 % (37/62), P = 6.576; 57.1 % (24/42) vs. 22.6 % (14/62), P = 12.899; 78.6 % (33/42) vs. 58.1 % (36/62), P = 4.716; 83.3 % (35/42) vs. 59.7 % (37/62), P= 6.578], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The young female breast cancer patients have a higher rate of malignancy,invasion and metastasis rate compared with the elder breast cancer patients.

Objective:The decision tree Chi-square automatic interactive detection (CHAID) algorithm and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to construct the risk prediction model of premature ovarian failure (POF) in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after surgery, and the results of the risk prediction model were compared and analyzed.Methods:Patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from Jan. 2019 to Sep. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed as the research objects. CHAID algorithm and Logistic regression analysis were used to establish risk prediction models, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare and evaluate the prediction effects of the two models.Results:A total of 860 patients were collected, including 56 patients with premature ovarian function failure after operation, and the incidence of premature ovarian function failure was 6.51%. CHAID method and Logistic regression analysis showed that uterine myoma surgery, hypertension, smoking or passive smoking, family history of premature ovarian failure, sleep status, physical exercise and history of induced curettage were important influencing factors of premature ovarian failure. The accuracy of risk prediction of decision tree model was 88.2%, and the fitting effect of the model was good. The Logistic regression model Hosmer-Leme-show goodness of fit test showed that the model fit was good. The AUC of Logistic regression model was 0.893 (95% CI: 0.862-0.899), and the AUC of decision tree model was 0.882 (95% CI: 0.856-0.899). The predictive value of the two models was moderate, and there was no significant difference between them ( Z=0.254, P>0.05) . Conclusions:The combination of decision tree and Logistic regression model can find the influencing factors of premature ovarian function failure in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after operation from different levels, and the relationship between the factors can be more fully understood. The establishment of a risk model for premature ovarian function failure in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after surgery can provide a reference for postoperative intervention in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension, and more effectively help patients actively prevent and slow down the occurrence and development of POF.

Objective:To study the relationship and the role of leptin in children with biliary atresia and hepatic fibrosis to provide a treatment basis for these patients.Methods:The clinical data of children with biliary atresia or congenital biliary dilatation (CBD) who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of General Surgery of Tianjin Children's Hospital from August 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 31 children included in this study, there were 14 males and 17 females, with age of 60 (30, 63) d. Children with biliary atresia served as the study group ( n=26) and children with CBD served as the control group ( n=5). Leptin protein, α-smooth muscleactin (α-SMA) and phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) in liver tissues were detectd by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression level of leptin mRNA in liver tissues were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results:The average optical density values of leptin protein, α-SMA protein and p-ERK1/2 protein in the liver tissues of children in the study group were significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of leptin, α-SMA and p-ERK1/2 in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia significantly increased with increase in fibrosis degree ( P<0.05). The expression level of leptin in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia was positively correlated with the liver fibrosis grade ( rs=0.876), α-SMA ( r=0.723) and p-ERK1/2 ( r=0.725) ( P<0.01). The results of qRT-PCR showed that the content of leptin mRNA in liver tissues of children with biliary atresia was significantly higher than that of children with CBD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Expressions of leptin increased with aggravation of degrees of hepatic fibrosis in biliary atresia. Leptin may be involved in activation of HSCs through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway in the process of hepatic fibrosis due to biliary atresia.

Objective:To carry out the monitoring of H5N6 subtype avian influenza virus (AIV) in the population infection and live poultry markets (LPMs) environmental pollution in Changsha city from 2016 to 2018. Laboratory data were provided to prevent human infection with H5N6 subtype AIV.Methods:A total of 6 909 throat swab specimens from the population and 1 719 environmental specimens from LPMs were collected in Changsha city from 2016 to 2018. The real-time RT-PCR method was used for the detection of influenza virus in type A, H5, H7, H9 and N6 subtypes. Eighty-two AIV nucleic acid-positive specimens were subjected to high-throughput nucleotide sequencing, and then BLAST similarity and amino acid (aa) key site analyses were performed on the sequencing results.Results:One H5N6 subtype AIV nucleic acid was detected from 6 909 population throat swab specimens, 927 (53.93%) positive specimens of A-type AIV nucleic acids and 193 (11.23%) positive specimens of both H5 and N6 subtypes were detected from 1 719 LPMs environmental specimens. Fourteen genomic sequences of H5N6 subtype AIV were obtained with high-throughput nucleotide sequencing, and aa key site analyses showed that there were 6 basic aa in 338-347 aa of viral HA protein-linked peptide, which was highly pathogenic to birds. Receptor binding site (RBS) 238-240 aa (corresponding to H3 type influenza virus 226-228 aa) is QSG or QRG, and the receptor is characterized by avian origin. The 290th resistance gene locus of NA protein did not show R290K mutation, and was sensitive to NA inhibitor (Duffy/osoterosine phosphate). The E627K and D701N(I) mutations in the viral PB2 protein indicate that the virus is pathogenic.Conclusions:Human infected with H5N6 subtype AIV in Changsha city is sporadic, and the H5N6 subtype AIV of LPMs is seriously polluted. It is necessary to further strengthen the AIV surveillance of LPMs.
