OBJECTIVETo study the clinical efficacy of sacral manual therapy in the treatment of coccygodynia.

METHODSFrom November 2013 to July 2015, 184 patients with sacrococcygeal pain were divided into treatment group and control group. There were 26 males and 65 females in the treatment group, with an average age of (39.63±11.62) years old. In the control group, there were 31 males and 62 females, with an average age of (41.47±11.56) years old. The patients in the treatment group were treated with sacrococcygeal massage therapy, 3 times a week for 2 weeks. The patients in the control group were treated with Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel, 2 times a day for 2 weeks. The VAS pain score, score in rating scale of sacrococcygeal pain and degree of tenderness were obtained on the first day of treatment, 2, 7, 14 days and 3 months after treatment to evaluate clinical results.

RESULTSWhen comparing the VAS pain score of sacrococcygeal pain within the two groups, the differences began to reach statistical significance on the second day(<0.001). The chagne of VAS pain scores, the change of scores in rating scale of sacrococcygeal pain and the degree of tenderness in the treatment group were all significontly larger that those in the contral group from the second day.

CONCLUSIONSThe curative effect of sacral manipulation group is better than that of Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel group in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pain.

Objective: To investigate the association of sleep quality, depressive symptoms and their interaction with non suicidal self injury (NSSI) among rural middle school students, so as to provide a reference for early prevention and control of NSSI among rural middle school students. Methods: A multi stage cluster sampling method was used to randomly select four rural middle schools in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. A total of 1 723 middle school students were investigated according to the principle of grade stratification and class random selection. Paper questionnaires (including demographic factors, Non Suicidal Self Injury Short Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patient Health Questionnare-9) were used to conduct the questionnaire survey. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of sleep quality, depressive symptoms and their interaction with NSSI among rural middle school students. Results: Totally 30.5% of middle school students had NSSI. Univariate results showed that girls (33.0%) had a higher incidence of NSSI than boys(27.3%), and those with sleep disorders and depressive symptoms had a higher incidence of NSSI, which was 46.8%, 43.6%. The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that the risk of NSSI in students with sleep disorder was 1.80 times that in those without sleep disorder( OR 95%CI=1.42-2.28, P <0.01). The risk of NSSI in students with depressive symptoms was 3.32 times higher than that in those without depressive symptoms( OR 95%CI=2.60-4.24, P <0.01). The interaction results showed that there was additive interaction between sleep disturbance and depressive symptoms on the occurrence of NSSI behavior in rural middle school students, and the relative excess risk, attributable proportion and synergy index were 1.80, 0.30 and 1.57, respectively. Conclusion Sleep disorder and depressive symptoms are risk factors for NSSI among rural middle school students, and there is additive interaction between them.

Objective:To establish a three-dimensional (3D) U-net-based deep learning model, and to predict the 3D dose distribution in CT-guided cervical cancer brachytherapy by using the established model.Methods:The brachytherapy plans of 114 cervical cancer cases with a prescription dose of 6 Gy for each case were studied. These cases were divided into training, validation, and testing groups, including 84, 11, and 19 patients, respectively. A total of 500 epochs of training were performed by using a 3D U-net model. Then, the dosimetric parameters of the testing groups were individually evaluated, including the mean dose deviation (MDD) and mean absolute dose deviation (MADD) at the voxel level, the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of the volumes enclosed by isodose surfaces, the conformal index (CI) of the prescription dose, the D90 and average dose Dmean delivered to high-risk clinical target volumes (HR-CTVs), and the D1 cm 3 and D2 cm 3 delivered to bladders, recta, intestines, and colons, respectively. Results:The overall MDD and MADD of the 3D dose matrix from 19 cases of the testing group were (-0.01 ± 0.03) and (0.04 ± 0.01) Gy, respectively. The CI of the prescription dose was 0.70 ± 0.04. The DSC of 50%-150% prescription dose was 0.89-0.94. The mean deviation of D90 and Dmean to HR-CTVs were 2.22% and -4.30%, respectively. The maximum deviations of the D1 cm 3 and D2 cm 3 to bladders, recta, intestines, and colons were 2.46% and 2.58%, respectively. The 3D U-net deep learning model took 2.5 s on average to predict a patient′s dose. Conclusions:In this study, a 3D U-net-based deep learning model for predicting 3D dose distribution in the treatment of cervical cancer was established, thus laying a foundation for the automatic design of cervical cancer brachytherapy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the efficacy of tumor-ablative individualized allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of patients with high risk/refractory leukemia.

METHODSFivety-seven patients with high risk/refractory leukemia were enrolled. Tumor-ablative individualized conditioning regimens included HDAra-C + Bu/Cy, Ara-C + Bu/Fludarabine, G-CSF primed HDAra-C + Bu/Cy, and FLAG followed by reduced-intensified BuCy. Overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), graft versus host disease, infection and relapse post grafting were analyzed.

RESULTSFifty-six patients attained durable engraftment. The median follow-up duration was 17.5 (2 - 34) months. The 18 months probabilities of OS and DFS were (74.7 ± 6.1)% and (62.4 ± 6.7)%, respectively. In addition, the 18 months probabilities of OS and DFS in patients who attained complete remission (CR) before transplantation were (74.2 ± 7.1)% and (58.8 ± 8.1)%, respectively, while in those not attained CR were (77.0 ± 11.8)% and (72.7 ± 11.7)%, respectively. Twenty nine patients developed acute GVHD (aGVHD) (grade I in 18, grade II in 4, grade III in 2 and grade IV in 5). The probabilities of aGVHD was (50.9 ± 6.6)% by Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. The probabilities of grades 2-4 and grades 3-4 aGVHD were (19.3 ± 5.2)% and (12.3 ± 4.3)% respectively. Extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was observed in 36 patients. The probabilities of cGVHD was (64.3 ± 6.4)% by Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. Cytomegaloviremia (CMV) was observed in 39 (68.42%) patients, hemorrhagic cystitis in 13 (22.8%) patients, fungous infection in 16 (28.07%) patients and bacterial infection in 38 (66.67%) patients. Relapse occurred in 14 patients (hematologic relapse in 11 and extramedullary relapse in 3), probabilities of relapse being (24.6 ± 5.7)%. The 17.5-month probability of relapse in patients who attained CR before transplantation was (28.1 ± 7.7)%, while in those not attained CR was (15.6 ± 10.2)%. Fifteen patients died (6 from hematological relapse, 5 from infection of bacterial and fungous, 4 from cGVHD) after 100 days.

CONCLUSIONTumor-ablative individualized allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a promising and safe choice for treatment of high risk/refractory leukemia, even with high leukemia burden.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of sodium valproate in a higher dose in the evening for treating nocturnal and early-morning seizures.Methods A total of 69 newly diagnosed pediatric patients with nocturnal or early-morning seizures were enrolled.They were randomly distributedinto experimental group (35 cases) and control group (34 cases) and treated with sodium valproate tablets.The initial dose was little.It was gradually increased to the effective maintenance dose.With sodium valproate given twice a day,the post meridiem(PM) dose was twice the ante meridiem(AM) dose in the experimental group,while the PM/AM dose was equal in the control group.All patients were at least been followed up for 6 months.Results In the experimental group,28 cases were seizure free (80.0％),and the total effective rate was 85.7％.In the control group,20 cases were seizure free (58.8％),and the total effective rate was 64.7％.The difference in the total effective rate between the 2 groups was significant (P ＜ 0.05).No severe adverse effect was found among all patients.The incidence of daytime sleepiness (0/35 cases) in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (2/34 cases).Conclusions A higher dose of sodium valproate in the evening for nocturnal and early-morning seizures led to better seizure control,better nocturnal sleep,less daytime somnolence,and the side effects are slight.

OBJECTIVETo construct a recombinant lentiviral vector for p38 MAPK and establish a human prostatic carcinoma cell line that stably expresses p38 MAPK.

METHODSEGFP/p38 fusion gene was subcloned into the lentiviral vector pTYF- EF1α-IRES-EGFP. The recombinant lentiviral vector pTYF-EF1α-EGFP/p38 was indentified by restriction enzyme digestion, and packaged in HEK 293T cells using lipofectamintm2000 with the packaging plasmid psPAX2 and envelope plasmid pMD2.G. The viral titer was tested according to the expression level of GFP. The resulting recombinant lentiviral vector was transduced into human prostatic carcinoma DU145 cells, and stably transduced cells were selected by limiting dilution analysis. The intracellular expression level of total p38 was detected by Western blotting and the cell growth curve was drawn.

RESULTSDNA restriction enzyme digestion demonstrated that the recombinant lentiviral vector of the fusion gene EGFP/p38 (pTYF-EF1α-EGFP/p38) was constructed successfully. The recombinant lentiviral vector was packaged in 293T with a viral titer of 4.7×10(6) TU/ml. A stable cell line, EGFP/p38-DU145, was established, which stably expressed exogenous EGFP/p38 MAPK fusion protein as detected by Western blotting and showed a lowered growth rate compared to the control cells.

CONCLUSIONWe have successfully constructed a recombinant lentiviral vector of the fusion gene EGFP/p38 and established a stable cell line EGFP/p38-DU145. Overexpression of p38 has a significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of DU145 cells in vitro.
