Picture of the tongue was observed in 44 cases of malignant hematopathy before and after transplantation of heniopoietic stem cells. Results showed that before transplantation, 28/ 44 cases were thin fur and after transplantation the picture of the tongue had obvious change, at the early stage 29/44 cases were thick and greasy fur, 14/44 cases were dark - purplish proper of tongue, and at the late stage of transplantation 15/ 44 cases were thick and greasy fur, and 14/44 cases were brown, grey or black fur. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this therapy has effect on the organism in the series of patients and has a certain directive significance for clinical treatment based on differentiation of symptoms and signs.

Objective To investigate the therapy efficiency and complication prevention in patients undergoing radiofrequency current catheter ablation combined with multiple X-ray projecting angles.Methods Two hundred and six atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) patients were involved in this study. The distance between the tip of His and the ostium of coronary sinus were measured under different X-ray projecting angles respectively, including posterior anterior (PA), right anterior oblique 30° (RAO 30° ) and left anterior oblique 45° (LAO 45° ) in each patient, and mapping was proceeding under the corresponding X-ray projecting angles with the longest distance. The distance between ablating catheter and His was confirmed again before powering by the other two X-ray projecting angles. Results The longest distance between the tip of His and the ostium of coronary sinus were obtained in 66,75 and 65 patients under PA,RAO 30° and LAO 45° respectively(P＞ 0.05 ),and the data were (2.94 ± 0.87), (2.98 ± 0.76)and (2.91 ± 0.52) cm(P＞ 0.05). Transient first or second degree of atrioventricular blocking was observed in 4 cases among 22 high risk patients in which the powering sites were above the medium level of the distance between the tip of His and the ostium of coronary sinus under three kinds of X-ray projecting angles obviously.However,only 1 case was observed in other 184 patients(P＜ 0.01 ). All patients were cured successfully and no permanent atrioventricular blocking occurred. Conclusion Radiofrequency current catheter ablation combined with multiple X-ray projecting angles is helpful to increasing the successful rate and preventing complication in ablating therapy.

AIM: To investigate the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on apoptosis and expression of caspases-3 in cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs). METHODS: HVSMCs were cultured in vitro. The rate of apoptosis in HVSMCs was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of caspases-3 mRNA in HVSMCs was detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: The rates of apoptosis in HVSMCs incubated with 500 ?mol/L Hcy for 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h were 2.39%?0.47%, 2.45%?0.64%, 7.58%?1.02%, 13.37%?4.71% and 17.69%?3.13%, respectively. The ratio of the absorbance of caspases-3 mRNA/GAPDH was 0.24?0.08, 0.29?0.10, 0.89?0.26, 1.37?0.24 and 1.82?0.53,respectively, suggesting that Hcy induces the apoptosis and expression of caspases-3 mRNA in HVSMCs in a time-dependent manner. The rates of apoptosis in HVSMCs incubated with 0, 100, 200, 500 or 1 000 ?mol/L Hcy for 24 h were 2.68%?0.23%, 2.79%?0.12%, 8.45%?2.41%, 13.37%?4.71% and 23.75%?5.56%, respectively, revealing that Hcy induced the apoptosis in HVSMCs in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Hcy induces the apoptosis in HVSMCs by regulating the expression of caspases-3, which may be one of the mechanisms involved in atherosclerotic effects of Hcy.

AIM: To evaluate whether tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) loaded with heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) inhibit the progression of aortic atherosclerotic plaque in hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E (Apo-E) -null mice. METHODS: Bone marrow derived DC of the mice were loaded with HSP60 and co-cultured with rapamycin to generate tolerogenic DC. The tolerogenic DC, DC loaded only HSP60 and PBS were injected into the ApoE-null mice at 8 weeks of age for three times at a one-week interval. 8 weeks after the last injection, aorta were harvested for HE staining and anti-CD4~+T cell immunostaining. Responses of pleenic cells to HSP60 were also evaluated. RESULTS: Compared with DC, DC_ HSP60 expressed higher levels of CD86, and stimulated T lymphocytes to proliferation significantly, while the tolerogenic DC expressed lower levels of CD86, and inhibited T lymphocytes to proliferation. After immunization with different injection, the numbers of CD4~+ T cells in plaque were increased significantly in DC_ HSP60 group vs in PBS group (P

Basic knowledge of forensic science is theoretical and abstract,therefore,confir-matory experiment teaching is often adopted in the experiment teaching. International education has become an important topic in medical colleges and universities. Forensic medicine is a compulsory subject for medical international students. This article discussed the exploration and practice in teach-ing forensic medicine for international students at Wenzhou Medical University,which included faculty constructing and training,encouraging whole English teaching by young teachers,applying heuristic interactive teaching and case teaching,establishing strict attendance and appraisal system and con-ducting comprehensive evaluation on medical teaching quality and teaching management.

Giant tumor cells and their varieties in the bone marrow were found in 7 patients with abnomal hematopoiesis phenomena. These cells were artificially devided into 5 kinds according to the difference of their morphology. Most of these cells were corresponding to lymphoid-monocytoid-macrophagocytoid cells with Wright's staining, cytochemical stainings, immunocytochemical stainings, flow cytometry examination, electron microscopy and pathologic study. The bone marrows were hypercellular and marked dysplastic hematopoiesis phenomena. Two of the 7 cases were diagnosed as malignant lymphoma with bone marrow biopsy. All cases characteristically showed no lymph node enlargement or hepatosplenomegaly or any local tumor mass. As to the prognosis of these cases, two patients died with survival time of 8 and 17 months, respectively, one was on critical condition at course of 10 months, and the other 4 cases were in comparatively stable condition with courses of 2.5 to 24 months. These patients seem to be a group of rare malignant lymphoid-monocytoid-macrophagocytoid proliferative diseases.

Objective To use the cognitive reinforcement comprehensive intervention program constructed by our team to intervene in patients with spinal cord injury and evaluate its clinical application effect.Methods A non-randomized trial design was adopted to select 97 patients with spinal cord injury from November 2021 to September 2022.Forty-four patients from March to September 2022 in a Grade A hospital in Hefei City were included in the experimental group,and 53 patients from November 2021 to February 2022 were included in the control group.The cognitive reinforcement comprehensive intervention program was used to intervene in the experimental group,and the conventional rehabilitation nursing was used to intervene in the control group.The intervention lasted for 12 weeks in both groups.The Changsha Montreal Scale,Social Support Rating Scale,Rehabilitation Exercise Self-efficacy Scale,Spinal Cord Injury Independence Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to measure the two groups before intervention,1 month after intervention and 3 months after intervention.Results 40 cases in the experimental group and 48 cases in the control group completed the study.Repeated measurement ANOVA showed that the temporal,interactive and intergroup effects of cognitive function scores and anxiety scores were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The time effect and interaction effect of the subjective support dimension score,coping self-efficacy dimension score of the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).One month after the intervention,the cognitive function scores of test group were higher than before intervention and control group,and the anxiety scores were lower than before intervention and control group(P＜0.05).Three months after the intervention,the scores of cognitive function,subjective support dimension and coping self-efficacy dimension of experimental group were higher than those before intervention and control group,and the scores of anxiety level were lower than those before intervention and control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive intervention of cognitive reinforcement can improve the cognitive function of patients with spinal cord injury,delay the process of cognitive impairment,enhance self-confidence,relieve anxiety,and promote physical and mental rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To systematically evaluate the adult intraoperatively acquired pressure injury risk prediction model.Methods Related study on IAPI risk prediction model in Chinese and English databases such as CBM,CNKI,PubMed and Web of Science were searched.The language is limited to Chinese and English,and the search time is until November 4,2022.Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data,and applied the bias risk assessment tool of prediction model research to analyze the bias risk and applicability of the included literature.Results 13 articles were included,including 17 models(operation time,age,diabetes,BMI and serum albumin are the most commonly used predictors).Among the 17 models,the area under the curve of 14 models was 0.616 to 0.984,and the other study did not report the AUC results.Among the 13 studies,10 had good applicability,while the remaining 3 had unclear applicability.13 studies have a high risk of bias,mainly because the included studies are retrospective studies,the predictive factors are screened based on univariate analysis,and the predictive outcomes are not defined by guidelines or standardization.Conclusions The existing IAPI risk prediction model for adults has good applicability,but the risk of bias is high,and the construction is not perfect.It is necessary to pay attention to the effectiveness of different risk assessment methods in the later construction,so as to get a better and more accurate risk prediction model and provide some reference and basis for formulating relevant prevention strategies.
