Objective To retrospectively compare analysis of two kinds of surgery which were nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) and the traditional radical hysterectomy (RH) for cervical cancer was done to find out the effect on urinary function in postoperative patients. Methods Among 57cervical cancer with clinical stage Ⅰ B1- Ⅱ A 31 cases treated with NSRH,26 cases treated with RH. The postoperative bladder function of the two methods were evaluated, and postoperative recovery of urinary function and postoperative recurrence of tumor were compared. Results The period of indwelling catheter for the postoperative patients with NSRH was (8.5 ± 3.2) days, obviously less than that for traditional RH patients which was ( 12.8 ± 3.8) days. The difference was statistically significant(P < 0.01 ). And two methods of postoperative patients were alive without tumor recurrence and metastasis after 1-4 years follow-up.Conclusions NSRH is better than traditional RH in remaining pelvic autonomic nervous system and improving the early urinary function of postoperative patients of cervical cancer. Otherwise, it doesn't effect the radical cure of tumor.

Objective To investigate the alterations of invariant nature killer T( iNKT) cells in peripheral blood samples from patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and to clarify the correlation between the percentage of iNKT cells and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 in order to further understand the significance of iNKT cells in the development of RA.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) were isola-ted from 70 patients with RA and 40 healthy subjects.Among them, thirty patients in the stage of inactive RA were involved in a follow-up study.Fluorescence activated cell sorting ( FACS) was used to detect the percentage of iNKT cells.PBMCs were cultured in vitro for analysis of cytokine production.The dynamic changes of iNKT cells in percentages were analyzed by FACS.MILLIPLEX MAP Human Cytokine/Chemo-kine kit was used to measure the secretion of IFN-γand IL-4 in serum samples and culture media of PBMCs. The expression of IFN-γand IL-4 in iNKT cells at mRNA level were analyzed by RT-PCR.Results Com-pared with the healthy subjects, the patients with active RA showed the delayed proliferation of iNKT cells and the decreased percentages and proliferation rates of iNKT cells (P<0.05).The percentages and prolif-eration rates of iNKT cells in patients with active RA were significantly lower than those in patients with inac-tive RA (P<0.05).No statistical significant differences with iNKT cells were found between healthy sub-jects and patients with inactive RA (P>0.05).The ratios of IFN-γ/IL-4 in serum samples and culture media of PBMCs were increased in patients with active RA as compared with those in patients with inactive RA and healthy subjects (P<0.05).No statistical significant differences with the ratios of IFN-γ/IL-4 were observed between healthy subjects and patients with inactive RA (P>0.05).Compared with healthy subjects and patients with inactive RA, patients with active RA showed increased transcriptional level of IFN-γand decreased transcriptional level of IL-4.No significant differences with the expression of IFN-γand IL-4 in iNKT cells at mRNA level were observed between healthy subjects and patients with inactive RA.The per-centage of iNKT cells was negatively related to the IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio in patients with RA (P<0.05).Con-clusion Decreased percentage and impaired function of iNKT cells were detected in patients with RA. iNKT cells were closely related to the development and disease activity of RA.

Objective:To investigate effects of a novel synthetic immunostimulator CH1b containing thiazolidin-4-one on the immunoregulation funotion of iNKT ( invariant nature killer T ) cells in active RA patients in vitro.Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells( PBMCs) isolated from active RA patients were cultured with stimulation of α-Galcer and IL-2 in vitro and iNKT cells were then separated by using magnetic activated cell sorting( MACS) method with iNKT isolation kit.The cells were divided into three groups:control group (IL-2),α-Galcer group (IL-2+α-Galcer),CH1b group(IL-2 +CH1b).The effects of CH1b on the proliferation of iNKT cells in active RA patients were analyzed by using MTT assay.MILLIPLEX MAP Human Cytokine/Chemokine kit was used to evaluate the secretion of IFN-γand IL-4 in iNKT cells culture media.The expressions of IFN-γmRNA and IL-4 mRNA in iNKT cells were analyzed by RT-PCR.Results: Compared with control and α-Galcer group,the proliferation of iNKT cells of CH1b group were significantly higher( P<0.05).Compared with control,the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 in iNKT cells culture media in active RA patients of CH1b group were significantly lower (P<0.05).Compared with control,expressions of IFN-γmRNA and IL-4 mRNA were higher inα-Galcer group;compared with control,expressions of IL-4 mRNA were higher in CH1b group,while there were no obvious difference on expressions of IFN-γmRNA.Conclusion:CH1b was found to significantly stimulate the actived iNKT cells in active RA patients proliferation,promote the secretion of IL-4,and increase the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4,promote the expression of IL-4 mRNA in iNKT cells in active patients.

Objective To explore and analyze the influencing factors of family caregiving behavior and protective strategies in children with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection. Methods By reviewing the literature, a self-designed questionnaire for family caregiving behavior related to recurrent lower respiratory tract infection were adopted, including feeding behavior, hand hygiene, environmental factors, time of outdoor activities and family health-seeking behavior. Totally 206 cases with recurrent lower respiratory tract infection (the study group) and 206 cases with acute lower respiratory tract infection (the control group) were included and all cases were investigated by family caregiving behavior questionnaire. The influencing factors of family caregiving behavior of two groups were analyzed and compared. Results The feeding behavior in the study group was worse than that in the control group(χ2=5.14-14.76, P<0.05). There were significant differences in family health-seeking behavior (χ2=4.76, P=0.03), 49.50%(102/206) in the control group,38.8%(80/206)in the study group and passive smoking (χ2=5.70, P=0.02) between two groups. There was no significant difference between two groups in hand hygiene, time of outdoor activities, history of contacting with patients with respiratory tract infection, cold history (χ2=0.48-2.63, P>0.05). Conclusions We should guide parents to establish the right and reasonable family care behavior to effectively enhance children's physical fitness and disease resistance and to avoid exposure to infectious agents and harmful substances, reduce the occurrence of Recurrent Lower Respiratory Tract Infections.

BACKGROUND: Organs-on-a-chip (OOC) is a chip that miniatures tissues or organs in vitro to simulate human physiological or pathological activities. OBJECTIVE: To review the design considerations of single and multi-OOCs, expound its achievements, potential and application prospect in drug development and precision medicine, as well as the remaining challenges. METHODS: We searched relevant articles in PubMed and CNKI databases with the keywords of “organs-on-a-chip, liver, blood-brain barrier, tumor” in Chinese and “organs-on-a-chip, drug development, cell culture, organoids, microfluidic systems, induced pluripotent stem cells, liver” in English, respectively. Finally, 68 articles were analyzed in this review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: OOC is a breakthrough technology that benefits from progresses in engineered human tissue engineering, semiconductor fabrication and adult somatic cell culture, exceeding the limitations of current cell and animal models. The activities, mechanical properties and physiological reactions of the whole organ or human system can be embodied in the 3D microfluidic OOC. As it can simulate physiological or pathological states in vitro by integrating human cells with physiology-related microenvironments, OOCs are expected to supplement and reduce the pre-clinical trials of drugs, medical devices and biological materials, offering a favorable in vitro platform for screening drug-related adverse reactions.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of maternal depressed mood at pregnancy and postpartum on the risk of emotional or behavioral disorders of offspring by meta-analysis. Methods:The following Mesh words and free words were searched in 7 online databases, including the PubMed, Embase, Web of Knowledge, PsycINFO, Cochrane, WanFang databases and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2020: " maternal" AND " depression" AND " child OR offspring" AND " neuropsychology" . According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, case-control and cohort studies reporting the effect of maternal depressed mood during pregnancy or postpartum on the risk of emotional or behavioral disorders of offspring were reviewed. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3. Results:Fourteen studies involving 3 914 in the case group and 17 016 in the control group were included.Children whose mother with depressed mood during pregnancy or postpartum had 2.03 times risk of emotional or behavioral disorders than those whose mothers without depressed mood ( OR=2.03, 95% CI: 1.55-2.65). Both depressed mood at pregnancy and postpartum could increase the incidence of emotional or behavioral disorders in children, but there was no significant difference between these two periods ( Z=-0.371, 95% CI: 0.796-1.168). Moreover, the effect of maternal depressed mood on emotional or behavioral disorders in offspring could last to the preschool and school period, and the children in the school period may have higher incidence of emotional or behavioral disorders than those during the preschool period ( Z=-2.340, 95% CI: 0.643-0.962). Conclusions:Maternal depressed mood can increase the incidence of emotional or behavioral disorders in offspring, which are long-lasting and do not decrease with age.

Objective:To explore the effect of intraspinal labor analgesia on labor progress, maternal and infant outcomes.Methods:Two hundred cases of full-term singleton primiparous women in head position admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from March 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the research subjects. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group (100 cases, natural delivery) and the analgesia group (100 cases, analgesia delivery). The visual analoguescore (VAS), progress of labor, and the outcome of delivery between the two groups werecompared.Results:The VAS scores of the analgesic group at 10, 30 and 60 min after analgesia were lower than those in the control group: (1.30 ± 0.17) scores vs. (9.50 ± 0.53) scores, (0.50 ± 0.22) scores vs. (9.50 ± 0.16) scores, (0.40 ± 0.28) scores vs. (9.50 ± 0.34) scores, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The first stage of labor in the analgesia group was longer than that in the control group: (347.6 ± 54.4) min vs. (325.8 ± 58.5) min; but the active stage, the second stage of labor, the third stage of labor and the total duration of labor in the analgesia group were shorter than those in the control group: (184.3 ± 39.5) min vs. (202.9 ± 42.7) min, (57.8 ± 17.9) min vs. (85.3 ± 16.9) min, (7.7 ± 5.0) min vs. (16.3 ± 5.2) min, (503.6 ± 131.4) min vs. (596.5 ± 175.7) min, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The 2 h and 24 h postpartum hemorrhage in the analgesia group were significantly lower than those in the control group: (223.64 ± 80.34) ml vs. (276.97 ± 82.35) ml, (331.57 ± 92.47) ml vs. (384.59 ± 94.25) ml, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The rate of normal delivery and the use of oxytocin in the analgesia group were higher than those in the control group: 91.0%(91/100) vs. 75.0%(75/100), 83.0%(83/100) vs. 49.0% (49/100), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the newborn Apgar scores, the muscle tension, pulse, reflex response, respiration score and total score in the analgesia group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The neonatal distress in the analgesia group was lower than that in the control group: 4.0%(4/100) vs. 15.0%(15/100), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intravertebral labor analgesia can shorten the time of parturient delivery, reduce postpartum hemorrhage, improve the Apgar score of newborns, increase the pregnancy rate, and improve maternal and infant outcome.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and differences of anxiety, depression and sleep disorder among human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) patients in Guangzhou, then optimize the antiretroviral therapy and provide effective mental intervention.Methods:All HIV/AIDS patients from the outpatient department of Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital were enrolled in the present study from January 2016 to December 2016. They were evaluated by the hospital anxiety and depression scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, to analyze the levels of depression, anxiety and sleep disorder.Results:The incidences of anxiety, depression and sleep disorder were 30.5%(61/200), 31.0%(62/200) and 22.5%(45/200) respectively. 36.1%(22/61) of patients with anxiety and 35.5%(22/62) of patients with depression were accompanied by sleep disorder. The sleep disturbance index were significant higher in HIV/AIDS patients with anxiety ( t=4.065, P<0.001) or depression ( t=3.034, P=0.003) than those without anxiety or depression. Anxiety was mainly found in HIV/AIDS patients in aged 20 to 40 group ( F=7.998, P=0.018), while depression was mostly found in HIV/AIDS patients who didn't receive higher education ( F=13.55, P=0.001), and sleep disorder was more common in people with CD4 + count <200 cells/μl ( t=2.01, P=0.046). Conclusions:Anxiety and depression, which could aggravate sleep disorder, are very common in HIV/AIDS patients. Psychological care need to be strengthened to HIV positive patients in early phase, and screening questionnaires should be conducted before antiretroviral treatment began.
