Objective To explore the expressions and correlation of RWD containing sumoylation enhancer (RSUME),small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO-1),hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in gliomas of different pathologic grade.Methods We investigated the expression levels of RSUME mRNA,HIF-1α mRNA and VEGF mRNA with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),and investigated the immunohistochemical staining to determine the expressions of SUMO-1,HIF-1α and VEGF in 63 cases of human gliomas of different pathologic grade and 9 cases of normal brain tissues.We studied its correlation with the pathologic grade and the relationship between the expression of RSUME promoter sumoylation and HIF-1α/VEGF pathway in gliomas.Results There were significant differences (P <0.01)in the expressions of RSUME mRNA,HIF-1αmRNA and VEGF mRNA in glioma tissues.With the increasing degree of pathologic grade in tumor specimens,the expression levels of RSUME mRNA,HIF-1α mRNA and VEGF mRNA increased markedly (P <0.01 ).There was a positive correlation of the expression levels of RSUME mRNA with HIF-1αmRNA and VEGF mRNA.There were significant differences (P <0.01 )in the expressions of SUMO-1,HIF-1αand VEGF in glioma tissues by immunohistochemical staining.With the ascending of pathologic grade of tumor specimens,the expression levels of SUMO-1,HIF-1α and VEGF increased markedly (P < 0.01 ).There was a positive correlation between the expression level of SUMO-1 and HIF-1α(r =0.857,P <0.01).The Kaplan-Meier analysis and Log-rank test showed significant differences in progress free survival (PFS)between the RSUME high-expression and low-expression groups (χ2 =36.032,P <0.01).Conclusion RSUME may enhance HIF-1α/VEGF pathway through sumoylation in gliomas.It implicates that RSUME is related to angiogenesis in gliomas and can promote tumor invasion and progression,indicating that RSUME can be a novel target in gliomas treatment.

Objective:To investigate the variation characteristics and influencing factors of HIV/AIDS subtypes in Wuxi city of Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2016.Methods:HIV/AIDS population in Wuxi city in 2014 was selected as the research object, and the HIV molecular epidemiology and follow-up study were carried out. Collect epidemiological information, extract DNA from blood samples, amplify pol gene fragment by nest-PCR and sequence, use ChromasPro 1.6 software and MEGA 7.0 software to construct the HIV-1 sequence database, and use FastTree2.1.10 software to construct the phylogenetic tree to confirm the subtype; in 2016, the same population was followed up, and the HIV subtype variation was analyzed, and the influencing factors of subtype variation were explored by multivariate logistic regression. Results:A total of 612 HIV/AIDS cases in 2014 and 2016 were collected. The age of the subjects was mainly 30 years old or above (85.46%, 523/612), and the proportion of people over 50 years old was higher (228/612, 37.25%). The main route of transmission was homosexuality, accounting for 49.67%. A total of 1224 samples were detected and CRF01 _ AE、CRF07_ BC、B、CRF08_ BC、CRF67_ 01B、CRF55_ 01B、CRF68_ 01B, 7 subtypes of HIV-1 and 5 unique recombinant types (URFs) was detected. CRF01_ AE and CRF07_ BC was still the main genotype in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, accounting for 66.75%. There were 29 cases (3.56%) of URFs recombinant strains. During 2014-2016, the variation rate of subtypes was 14.63%, and the most common variation was CRF01_ AE changes to CRF07_ BC(13.95%). Marital status (OR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.137-0.964) and baseline CD4 level (OR=0.414, 95% CI: 0.192-0.891) were associated with subtype variation.Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes of HIV/AIDS patients in Wuxi city are diverse and complex, the proportion of recombinant subtypes is rising, the URFs that are difficult to determine the genotype increase significantly, and the variation rate of HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS infected people is high. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of HIV-1 subtypes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of primary debridement combined with external fixation and secondary sequential internal fixation in the treatment of Rüedi-Allg?wer Ⅱ Pilon fracture.Methods:The clinical data of 36 patients with Rüedi-Allg?wer Ⅱ Pilon fracture from January 2017 to December 2019 in the People′s Hospital of Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 16 patients were treated with primary debridement with calcaneal traction and secondary internal fixation (internal fixation group), and 20 patients were treated with primary debridement combined with external fixation and secondary sequential internal fixation (combined fixation group). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, time of full weight bearing, fracture healing time, American Society of Foot and Ankle Surgery (AOFAS) posterior ankle foot function score, visual analogue score (VAS), reduction quality (Burwell-Charnley score) and incidence of complication were compared between 2 groups.Results:The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 (10.7 ± 2.8) months. The time of full weight bearing and fracture healing time in combined fixation group were significantly shorter than those in internal fixation group: (7.2 ± 1.9) weeks vs. (9.4 ± 2.1) weeks and (3.4 ± 0.8) months vs. (4.1 ± 1.2) months, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); there were no statistical differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in AOFAS posterior ankle foot function score 1 month after surgery between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the AOFAS posterior ankle foot function score 3 and 6 month after surgery in combined fixation group was significantly higher than that in internal fixation group: (86.4 ± 1.7) scores vs. (75.7 ± 1.2) scores and (93.6 ± 2.2) scores vs. (82.1 ± 1.9) scores, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in VAS between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in rate of reduction satisfaction and incidence of complication between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The primary debridement combined with external fixation and secondary sequential internal fixation for the treatment of Rüedi-Allg?wer Ⅱ Pilon fracture is conducive to the rapid recovery, which is worthy of extensive clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVETo observe clinical efficacy of intra-articular injection of Sodium hyaluronate (SH) accompanied with external application of Sanhua ointment (SHO) for knee osteoarthritis.

METHODSOne hundred and twelve patients with osteoarthritis were randomly divided into two groups, Group I was treated with SH and Group II was treated with SH plus SHO. The entire condition of knee joint in the two groups were compared before and after treatment according to Lysholm's function scoring.

RESULTSThe functional score in the two groups at the 2nd week, 5th week, 3rd month and end of 1st year of the treatment course were significantly higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), and the scores continuously increased within the first 3 months of treatment. Comparison of scores between the two groups showed that scores in Group II was significantly higher than those in Group I at the corresponding period. The total effective rate after 1 year treatment in Group lI was higher than that in Group II (81.5% vs 96.6%, P < 0.05). In Group II , the initial time of symptom improving was earlier and the adverse effect disappeared more quickly than those in Group I markedly.

CONCLUSIONThe efficacy of combined therapy of intra-articular injection of SH and SHO for knee osteoarthritis was superior to that of intra-articular injection of SH only.

Objective:To investigate the relationship and diagnostic value of serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) RNA on liver significant inflammation in chronic hepatitis B (CHB)patients with normal or mildly elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) levels.Methods:A total of 211 treatment-naive CHB patients with ALT

Objective: This study aimed to find out the myopia rate and related ocular biological parameters of grade 1-3 students in Peixian, Xuzhou City, and to establish a cohort observation population, so as to provide baseline reference for control strategies for myopia and reduce the myopia rate. Methods: A total of 1 952 students from two nine year schools in Peixian were selected by stratified cluster sampling in June 2020. Visual examination was administered by trained personnel using uniformly equipped instruments, including uncorrected visual acuity, diopter, intraocular pressure, axial length. Results: The overall myopia rate of students from grade one to grade three in two schools in Peixian was 21.77%, and the myopia rate of girls (23.81%) was significantly higher than that of boys (20.16%). With the growth of age and grade, the myopia rate increased continuously, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=134.10, 144.30, P <0.05). The myopia rate of 6-year-old group was 8.87 %. The axial length of the left and right eyes of the myopic group was significantly higher than that of the non myopic group ( t = 411.95, 366.85, P <0.01), the intraocular pressure and mean corneal curvature of the left eye of the myopic group were higher than those of the nonmyopic group ( t =5.91, 10.22 , P <0.05). Conclusion The baseline survey results show that the myopia rate of grade 1-3 in Peixian of Xuzhou City is low, but myopia has occurred in the 6-year-old group. With the growth of age and grade, the myopia rate continues to rise. So it is urgent to explore effective and feasible myopia prevention and control measures.

Objective To investigate the effect of different antibodies on Toll-like Receptor 4-High Mobility Group Box 1 and its downstream signal transductions in distant organ injuries caused by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion in mice.Methods A total of 40 mice (C57BL/6,SPF level) were by random number table method assigned into five groups:sham,control,anti-HMGB1,anti-Myeloid differentitation gene,and antiTIR domain containing adaptor inducing IFN-β (n=8).In the control,anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and antiTRIF groups,the IgG,HMGB1,MyD88,and TRIF antibodies were injected,respectively,via the tail vein 30 minutes before ischemia (1 mg/kg body weight,0.025％).After anesthesia and abdomen incision,all mice,except the sham group,underwent intestinal ischemia by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 60 minutes followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion.Sham group underwent the same surgical procedures except for clamping the artery.Serum nuclear factor-κB p65,Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α were measured.Morphological changes in the lung and intestine were evaluated.mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB1 and NF-κB in lung and intestinal tissues were assayed.Results Compared with the control group [(228.53± 24.85),(104.91±31.18),and (70.81±46.97) ng/L],HMGB1 [(145.00±33.63),(62.28±6.73),and (52.76± 5.71) ng/L],MyD88 [(191.12± 13.22),(85.90± 17.37),and (63.19 ± 5.47) ng/L],and TRIF [(183.73±10.81),(78.14±7.38),and (59.70±4.63) ng/L] significantly decreased the serum level of NF-κB (P=0.000,0.005,0.001),IL-6 (P=0.000,0.004,0.000) and TNF-α (P=0.000,0.024,0.002) after ischemia reperfusion.Tissue injuries in the lung and intestine were also alleviated by HMGB1,MyD88,and TRIF.The anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and anti-TRIF groups displayed significant elevations of HMGB1 mRNA [lung (1.89±0.18),(2.35±0.31),and (2.29±0.28),ileum (4.93±0.55),(5.96± 0.73),and (5.76±0.51)],NF-κB mRNA [lung (1.42±0.23),(1.77±0.18) and (1.70±0.13),ileum (2.23±0.55),(3.11±0.38) and (2.99±0.24)] and NF-κB protein expressions in lung and ileum tissues compared to the sham group [lung HMGB1 mRNA (1.04±0.19) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000),NF-κBmRNA (1.03±0.21) (P=0.004,0.000,0.000),ileum HMGB1 mRNA (1.14±0.54) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000),NF-κB mRNA (1.03±0.23) (P=0.000,0.000,0.000)].However,incornparison with the control group [lung HMGB1 mRNA (2.67±0.23) (P=0.000,0.035,0.016),NF-κB mRNA (2.04±0.29) (P=0.000,0.039,0.012),ileum HMGB1 mRNA (6.70±0.66) (P=0.001,0.038,0.015),NF-κBmRNA (3.71±0.53) (P=0.000,0.018,0.006)],the other three groups showed a significant down-regulation,with the most remarkable decrement in the anti-HMGB1 group.Application of anti-HMGB1,anti-MyD88,and anti-TRIF could drastically attenuate the tissue injuries in ischemia reperfusion.anti-HMGB1 exhibited the most significant effect.Conclusions HMGB1 and its downstream signals play an important role in intestinal ischemia reperfusion injuries in mice.Of two downstream signals,the TRIF-dependent pathway exerts a more important effect than that of the MyD88-dependent pathway.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and drug safety between oral apatinib combined with conventional chemotherapy and conventional chemotherapy alone for the treatment of osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis. Methods Thirty?three osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis who were treated in the Department of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Surgery, Cancer Hospital of China Medical University from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled in this study. Patients with osteosarcoma received methotrexate, adriamycin (ADM), cisplatin (CDDP), ifosfamide (IFO) sequential regimen; patients with soft tissue sarcoma were treated with IFO and ADM regimen. Eighteen of these patients received an additional oral dose of apatinib. The patients were followed up regularly for changes in primary tumors and metastases, adverse reactions and prognosis. Results Before treatment, the maximum diameter of pulmonary metastases in patients of apatinib group and routine treatment group were ( 4.46 ± 1.70) cm and ( 4.53 ± 2.00) cm, respectively, without significant difference ( P＝0.909). After treatment, the maximum diameter of pulmonary metastases in patients of apatinib group was (1.46 ± 1.39) cm, significantly smaller than ( 3.02 ± 1.20) cm of routine treatment group (P＝0.002). After treatment, the maximum diameter of the primary lesions in the apatinib group and the conventional treatment group median decreased 0.31 cm and 0.12 cm, respectively, without significant difference ( P＝0.542). After treatment, the maximum diameter of the lung metastases in the apatinib group median decreased 0.59 cm, significantly more than 0.18 cm of the conventional treatment group (P＝0.027). The median progression?free survival ( PFS) was 9.4 months in the 33 patients. The median PFS was 9.6 months and 8.3 months in the apatinib group and the conventional treatment group, respectively, without significant difference (P＝0.593). Specific adverse reactions both occurred in apatinib group and routine treatment group, mainly including oral mucosal reactions and digestive tract reactions (including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea). Conclusions Apatinib can effectively reduce the volume of primary and metastatic lesions in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma accompanied by lung metastasis without reducing the survival rate or causing uncontrollable adverse reactions. The safety and clinical efficacy of apatinib are significant.
