Objective To study the effect of IGF-1 gene therapy and electric stimulation therapy on the rat models of postpartum stress urinary incontinence, and explore the ideal treatment for this disease.Methods 240 SD female rats were used to establish the model of postpartum stress urinary incontinence by water sac vaginal dilation.148 model rats were randomly selected from 185 successful models and divided into 5 groups:IGF-1 gene therapy, clenbuterol treatment, electric stimulation therapy, injection of empty vector plasmid, and untreated groups.Besides, 20 non-modeled rats were used as blank control group.Urodynamic test was performed, pelvic floor pubococcygeus muscle/muscle weight ratio was calculated, and serum biochemical indices (LDH, CK) were detected, and the morphological changes of pubococcygeus muscle fibers were observed by light microscopy at 1, 21, 42 and 63 days after treatment.Results At 21 days after treat-ment, the maximum bladder capacity, leak point pressure, the contractile force/muscle weight ratio in the IGF-1 group and electric stimulation treatment group were significantly better (P>0.05), and the differences between the IGF-1 group and electric stimulation group were not significant ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusions The effect of IGF-1 gene therapy and electric stimulation on the rat models of postpartum stress urinary incontinence is better than that in the drug therapy group and oth-er groups.

Objective To study the effect of TGF?β1 gene therapy on the rat model of postpartum stress urinary incontinence and explore a novel non?operative treatment of this disease. Methods Two hundred and forty 6?month old SD female rats were used to prepare the model of postpartum stress urinary incontinence by vaginal dilation with a water sac. 148 rats from the 185 successfully prepared model rats were selected, and randomly divided into 5 groups: the TGF?β1 gene therapy, clentuterol treatment, electric stimulation therapy, injection of empty vector plasmid, and non?treated groups. In addition, 20 normal rats were selected as blank control group. Sneeze test and urodynamic test were conducted, the pelvic floor pubococcygeus muscle contractile force/muscle weight ratio was calculated, serum TGF?1 was detected by ELISA, and TGF?1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry at 1, 21, 42 and 63 days after the treatment. Results At 21 days after treatment, all the maximum bladder capacity, leak point pressure, and urine or contractile force / muscle weight ratio of the TGF?β1 gene therapy group showed even better effects than those of the electrical stimulation group, but the differences were statistically not significant ( P>0?05 ) . Conclusions TGF?β1 gene therapy shows good therapeutic effect on the rat models of postpartum stress urinary incontinence, suggesting that TGF?β1 gene therapy may become a new type of non?surgical treatment for this disease.

This study was directed at estimating the value of platelet count in the course of in-vitro hemolytic tests by roller pump. Five paired in-vitro tests were conducted using the POLYSTAN pump(group A) and COBE pump(group B). The pumps ran 16 hours. The samples for platelet count and plasma-free hemoglobin were taken before pumping, and every 2 hours after 4 hours of pumping. The 2 groups' platelet count and plasma-free hemoglobin levels were found to be linearly increasing with the hours of pumping and linear regression analysis showed the platelet count and plasma-free hemoglobin were positively correlated. These data suggested that platelet count could be used as an index in evaluating the in-vitro hemolytic properties of blood pumps.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tumor-treating fields (TTFields) and chemoradiation in patients with high-grade glioblastoma.Methods:Clinical data of 38 patients admitted to the Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from September 2021 to May 2023 who were diagnosed with high-grade glioblastoma (36 cases of World Health Organization grade Ⅳ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation after surgery. Response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria was used to evaluate the glioma responses as tumor remission, stable or progression. Common terminology criteria for adverse events v5.0 and TTFields related skin adverse reaction (dAE) criteria were used to evaluate the adverse events. Treatment compliance was assessed by data on the NovoTTF-200A therapeutic device, calculated as a percentage of daily TTFields usage time. Survival analysis was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test.Results:The median duration of treatment with TTFields in 38 patients was 20 h (rang: 2.4-22.6 h), and the median treatment compliance was 83% (range: 10%-94%). After 42 days of TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation, 12 patients who underwent complete tumor resection were assessed as stable according to RANO criteria. Among the 26 patients who underwent partial tumor resection, 23 (88%) were evaluated as disease remission according to RANO criteria. The 7-, 10-, 13-month progression-free survival rate was 81.0%、64.0%、49.5%, repectively. The common adverse events included grade 1 (45%) and grade 2 (8%) dAE, without grade 3-4 dAE. Typical presentations included contact dermatitis, blisters, lesions or ulcers, and abscesses. The median follow-up time was 10.0 months (range: 1.6-21.3 months). At follow-up as of July 2023, 26 of the 38 patients were stable and 12 had disease progression (8 died).Conclusion:The preliminary results show that TTFields combined with chemoradiation is effective, safe and reliable treatment for high-grade glioblastoma.

Objective To explore the neuroprotective effect of targeted regulation Nrf2 gene on rats with brain injury caused by acute severe carbon monoxide ( CO ) poisoning. Methods A total of 180 healthy adult SD rats were divided into 4 groups at random:normal control group( NC group) ,CO poisoning group(CO group),lentivirus group(LV group) and Nrf2 gene therapy group(Nrf2 group),and 45 rats in each group. An acute CO toxic rat model was established by inhalation in a hyperbaric oxygen tank. The lentivirus group was directly injected with lentivirus dilution (4×106 TU/μl) into striatum with a microsy-ringe guided by a stereotactic apparatus,and the Nrf2 gene therapy group was administrated the same dose of recombinant Nrf2 gene lentivirus dilution,while rats in the normal control group and the CO poisoning group were received the same amount of normal saline. Five rats were taken and decapitated at day 1,day 7 and week 2 from each group,respectively. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of neurons in brain tis-sue was detected by JC-1 method,and the expressions of Nrf2 and GCLC proteins were observed by immuno-histochemistry and Western Blot. Results Compared with the NC group (cortex:(75. 3±6. 8);hippocam-pus:(76. 4±7. 1);striatum:(73. 8±7. 3)) at the same time point,the MMPs of neurons in CO group (cor-tex:(34. 5±6. 7);hippocampus:(30. 3±5. 6);striatum:(41. 5±6. 1) and LV group (cortex:(36. 8±6. 2);hippocampus:(30. 8±6. 0);striatum:(42. 7±6. 3)) were significantly decreased,and the difference was sig-nificant(P<0. 05). However,there was no significant difference between the CO poisoning group and the lentivirus group (P>0. 05). A small amount of Nrf2 protein (0. 22±0. 05) and GCLC protein (0. 24±0. 04) were expressed in the brain tissue of normal control rats. The expressions of Nrf2 protein (0. 31±0. 06,0. 31 ±0. 05) and GCLC protein (0. 30±0. 04,0. 31±0. 07) in CO group and LV group were slightly increased (P<0. 05). Similarly,there was no significant difference between the CO poisoning group and the lentivirus group (P>0. 05). The MMPs value of nerve cells in the Nrf2 group (cortex:(53. 3±5. 3);hippocampus:(56. 9±6. 1);striatum:(60. 6±6. 0)) also decreased,but it was significantly higher than that in the CO group and the LV group at the same time point (P<0. 05) . The expression of Nrf2 in brain tissue was signifi-cantly increased (0. 59±0. 05),and there was significant difference between CO group and LV group at the same time point (P<0. 05);GCLC protein increased slightly (0. 37±0. 06),but there was no statistical difference compared with CO poisoning group and lentivirus group (P>0. 05). Conclusion CO poisoning could induce oxidative stress and damage mitochondrial function of nerve cells. The active state of targeted regulation Nrf2 could significantly enhance the antioxidant capacity of rats and positively protect rats against brain injury induced by acute severe CO poisoning.
