OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of STK15 gene amplification and overexpression to genesis and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

METHODSSTK15 gene amplification in 40 cases carcinoma tissues and normal tissues as control was detected by differential PCR approach. STK15 mRNA and protein levels were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry method.

RESULTSIn 40 LSCC cases, STK15 gene amplification was found in 14 tumor tissues(35%), mRNA overexpression in 27 tumor tissues(67.5%), and protein upregulated in 29 tumor tissues(72.5%). Statistics analysis showed that STK15 gene amplification and mRNA overexpression were obviously associated to differentiation degree of LSCC, and protein overexpression was closely associated with both differentiation degree and pathological grades of LSCC.

CONCLUSIONThis research results suggest that STK15 gene amplification contributes to its mRNA and protein overexpression through affecting the exact replication of centrosome and separation of chromosomes. STK15 gene thus plays a role in LSCC oncogenesis and malignant progression.

OBJECTIVETo explore the Intervention effect of Rosiglitozone in ovarian fibrosis of PCOS rats.

METHODS60 female SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, model group and treatment group. The model and treatment groups were established by subcutaneous injection of DHEA, while the treatment group was given RGZ. The serum hormone values, pathohistology of ovarian structure of rats, ovarian ultrastructure and the expressions of TGF-β(1) and CTGF were detected.

RESULTSThe PCOS model was established successfully. The expression intensity of TGF-β(1) and CTGF in Oocytes of the PCOS groups was 9.545±2.954 and 9.665±2.400, respectively and was significantly higher than that of the control group 6.636±2.264 and 7.036±2.133; after treatment with rosiglitazone, the expression was significantly decreased 6.980±2.421 and 6.642±2.721 as compared with that of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.001). The values in serum of the PCOS groups were 3.749±2.054 and 0.265±0.129, and 1.914±1.801 and 0.096±0.088 in the control group which had statistically significant difference (P<0.05, P<0.001). After treatment with rosiglitazone, the values were 2.3100±1.825 and 0.112±0.187 and were significantly different with those of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONTGF-β(1) and CTGF play an important role in the development of ovary fibrosis in PCOS. However, RGZ may postpone the development of fibrosis by decreasing the levels of TGF-β(1) and CTGF.

Objective To carry out rigid-body inverse dynamics modelling and analysis of a self-designed 6RSS parallel bio-inspired masticatory robot.Methods Firstly,the functions of kinematic variables including translational/rotational velocities and accelerations were derived for rigid-body inverse dynamics modelling.Secondly,the rigid-body inverse dynamics model was established with the Newton-Euler's law.Finally,the chewing motion trajectories of the oral health volunteers were tracked and numerical calculations were carried out in the case where the robot was subjected to a chewing reaction force.Results Numerical calculations showed that the driving torque and the constraint force of the robot peaked when the chewing reaction force was at its maximum.Conclusion The external force has a large impact on the inverse dynamics of the robot,and theoretical references are provided for the motion control and optimal design of the robot.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(3):16-22]

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of preoxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygenation in elderly patients during induction of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. METHODS: Fifty-six elderly patients without difficult airway were randomized equally into high-flow nasal oxygen group (HF group) and conventional mask oxygen group (M group). Preoxygenation was performed for 5 min before induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. Oxygenation was maintained during laryngoscopy in HF group, and ventilation lasted until laryngoscopy in M group. For all the patients, the general data, cross-sectional area (CSA) of the gastric antrum measured by ultrasonography, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) and arterial oxygen saturation (cSO₂) were recorded before preoxygenation (T1), at 5 min of preoxygenation (T2) and immediately after intubation (T3). The safety time of asphyxia, intubation time, times of mask ventilation and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The general data were comparable between the two groups. After 5 min of preoxygenation, PaO₂ and cSO₂ were significantly increased in both groups, and PaO₂ was significantly higher in HF group than in M group (F=118.108 vs 9.511, P < 0.05). Both PaO₂ and cSO₂ decreased after intubation, but PaO₂ decreased more slowly in HF group and still remained higher than that at T1; cSO₂ decreased significantly in M group to a lower level than that at T1. Compared with those in M group, the patients in HF group showed a significantly longer safety time of asphyxia (t=5.305, P < 0.05) with fewer times of mask ventilation (χ²= 6.720, P < 0.05). PaCO₂ increased after intubation in both groups but was comparable between the two groups (F=3.138, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION High-flow nasal oxygen is safe, simple and effective for pre-oxygenation, which, as compared with the conventional oxygen mask, improves arterial oxygen partial pressure and prolongs the safety time of asphyxia to ensure the safety of airway management during induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with endotracheal intubation.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of blood cell parameters in children with vasovagal syncope (VVS). Methods: In this case-control study, the VVS group included 111 patients with unexplained syncope or prodromata who were diagnosed with VVS by head-up tilt test in the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2018 to October 2020, and 111 healthy children were enrolled as control. The differences in blood cell parameters between the 2 groups were compared by t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent correlation factors of VVS, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to explore the predictive value of blood cell parameters for diagnosing VVS. Results: Sex composition ratios were consistent in the 2 groups (51 males vs. 60 females), while the age of the VVS group was higher than that of the control group (11.0 (8.0, 12.5) vs. 8.0 (7.0, 11.0) years, Z=4.39, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, VVS group had lower level of white blood cell (WBC) (6.0 (5.3, 7.1)×10⁹ vs. 8.6 (6.7, 10.1)×10⁹/L, Z=-7.96, P<0.001), lymphocyte (LY) (2.3 (1.9, 2.7)×10⁹ vs. 4.0 (2.8, 6.3)×10⁹/L, Z=-8.49, P<0.001), lymphocyte ratio (0.39 (0.33, 0.44) vs. 0.52 (0.37, 0.69), Z=-5.59, P<0.001), monocyte (0.3 (0.3, 0.4)×10⁹ vs. 0.4 (0.3, 0.6)×10⁹/L, Z=-6.19, P<0.001), eosinophil (0.1 (0.1, 0.2)×10⁹ vs. 0.2 (0.2, 0.4)×10⁹/L, Z=-5.75, P<0.001), mean corpuscular-hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) ((328±12) vs. (333±11) g/L, t=-3.27, P<0.001) and blood platelet (263 (235, 313)×10⁹ vs. 341 (295, 409)×10⁹/L, Z=-2.69, P<0.001), but higher neutrophil ratio (0.53 (0.48, 0.58) vs. 0.37 (0.22, 0.54), Z=5.86, P<0.001), hematocrit (0.39±0.04 vs. 0.37±0.04, t=2.75, P=0.006), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (85 (82, 88) vs. 81 (78, 84) fl, Z=5.56, P<0.001), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (28 (27, 29) vs. 27 (26, 28) pg, Z=3.39, P=0.001), red cell distribution width (39 (37, 41) vs. 37 (36, 40) fl, Z=4.02, P<0.001) and mean platelet volume (11 (10, 11) vs. 10 (9, 11) fl, Z=2.81, P=0.005) levels. After adjusting for confounding factors such as sex and age, LY (OR=0.42, 95%CI 0.29-0.62, P<0.001), WBC (OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.59-0.95, P=0.015), MCHC (OR=0.94, 95%CI 0.91-0.97, P<0.001) were independent negative correlation factors of VVS, while MCV (OR=1.08, 95%CI 1.01-1.15, P=0.021) was independent positive correlation factor. ROC curve showed that the combination of LY, WBC, MCV and MCHC had acceptable predictive value for the diagnosis of VVS, with area under curve of 0.88, sensitivity of 0.80, specificity of 0.83, and Youden index of 0.63. Conclusions: Compared with healthy children, the blood cell parameters usually change in those with VVS. Combination of LY, WBC, MCHC and MCV can facilitate the diagnosis of VVS in children with unexplained syncope or prodromata.
