Objective To investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection among patients with cervical carcinoma or precancerous lesions in Xuzhou region. Methods 688 patients with cervical lesions confirmed by colposcopic biopsy were assigned to three groups:low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) (187 cases), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (359 cases) and cervical carcinoma (142 cases). The genotypes of HPV were determined by nucleic acid hybridization technique. The prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV were further analyzed. Results The infection rates of HPV in LSIL , HSIL and ICC group were 68.98 % (129/187), 94.99 % (341/359), 95.78 % (136/142), respectively. These rates were statistically significant different (P< 0.05). With the aggravation of cervical lesions, HR-HPV infection rate was gradually increased and LR-HPV infection rate was gradually decreased. The most common HPV types were listed below in order of decreasing prevalence. LSIL:HPV16, 52, 58, 18, 31; HSIL: HPV16, 58, 33, 31, 52; cervical carcinoma: HPV16, 31, 58, 18, 33. Based on the cumulative logistic regression model, confidence intervals of the relevance between the overall HPV prevalence and occurrence of cervical lesions were calculated: HPV16 (OR= 7.215, P< 0.05), HPV31 (OR=2.768, P<0.05), HPV33 (OR=1.846, P<0.05), HPV58 (OR=1.726, P<0.05) Conclusions The prevalence of HR-HPV infections increased with the aggravation of cervical carcinoma in Xuzhou region. In order of decreasing prevalence, the most prevalent of HPV types are HPV16, 31, 33, 58. The results indicate that HPV18 have strong tumorigenicity, but is not popular in Xuzhou region. By contrast HPV52 is more common in LSIL than that in cervical carcinoma.

The effects of flavones of epinedium brevicornum maxim (FEBM) on hemorrheological Parameters of rabbits were studied. It was found that FEBM at 0.1 or 0.4g?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)ig b. i. d. could inhibit thrombosis in vitro,at 0.4 g?kg~(-1)? d~(-1) could reduce blood mucosity at 2～40 s~(-1) shearing and inhibit agglutination of red cells. It was demonstrated that the inhibition of thrombosis and the reduction of blood mucosity might be due to the effects of FEBM on agglutination of red cells.

BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty has attracted increasing attention in recent years,but how to detect deep vein thrombosis in the early time in clinical practice remains unclear.Whether it is necessary to perform type-B ultrasonic or other invasive examination in lower limbs has become a hot issue.OBJECTIVE:To explore the significance of D-Dimer and fibrin degradation products in the prediction of deep vein thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty.METHODS:56 patients received total knee arthroplasty were colected from Department of Orthopedics,The 306th Hospital of Chinese PLA,between December 2012 and February 2014.The D-Dimer and fibrin degradation products were dynamicaly monitored before operation and at 1,3,5,7,10 days post-operation.Al the patients received type-B ultrasonic examination in double lower limbs at 10 days post-operation,and divided into thrombus group and non-thrombus group.The D-Dimer and fibrin degradation products in the two groups were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Deep vein thrombosis was found in 13 cases by ultrasonic-B postoperation,D-Dimer and fibrin degradation products showed no significant difference between the two groups at 1 week after operation (P＞0.05),but the difference was significant at 10 days (P＜0.01).D-Dimer and fibrin degradation products index should be monitored dynamicaly for at least 10 days after operation,which is helpful for the earlydiagnosis of thrombosis.

BACKGROUND:Severe spinal angular kyphosis aggravated spinal cord injury and early degeneration, even caused incomplete paralysis or complete paralysis. Surgical treatment is the only solving approaches and method, but it is difficult, exhibits high risk, and easily affects postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the science and effectiveness of posterior vertebral column resection osteotomy combined with step correction in treatment of stiff angular kyphosis based on biomechanical principle. METHODS:A total of 90 cases underwent posterior vertebral column resection osteotomy combined with bilateral pedicle screw spinal cord gradual y shortening echelon tight closure and orthopedic fixation were selected, including 37 males and 52 females, at the average age of 47 years. Kyphotic angle, spinal sagittal imbalance, trunk side offset rate, operation time, intraoperative blood loss were compared and analyzed before and after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The kyphotic angles were 31°-138° (averagely 90.1°) preoperatively and 10°-90° (averagely 41.6°) postoperatively, with an improvement rate of 65%. The distance from C 7 plumb line to the S 1 upper edge was averagely 5.2 mm, with a correction rate of 73%. Intraoperative blood loss was 1 200-6 000 mL, averagely 2 089 mL. Operation time was 212-470 minutes, averagely 326 minutes. The patients were fol owed up for 20 to 35 months after the surgery. Osteotomy segments had achieved bone fusion in al patients, and no complications of spinal cord injury or orthopedic angle loss appeared. These data verified that in the accordance with cellbiomechanics and spinal biomechanical principles, bilateral pedicle screw spinal cord gradual y shortening echelon tight closure and orthopedic fixation protected utmost spinal cord cells against injury in the correction of thoracolumbar angular kyphosis. There is sufficient basis for cellphysiology and it accorded biomechanical and physiological characteristics. During the surgery, we should pay attention to protection and release of nerve root and avoid postoperative corresponding nerve root irritation. Ful fusion ensures kyphosis correction and avoids spine lateral offset, is an effective safeguard for the recovery of spinal function and postoperative orthopedic effect.

BACKGROUND:The treatment difficulties of thoracolumbar angular kyphosis surgery are:low correction rate, hard to rebuild sagittal plane, easily induce neurological complications, postoperative loss of balance, high incidence of pseudarthrosis and postoperative loss of correction degree.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the safety and efficacy of modified posterior vertebral column resection osteotomy and bilateral pedicle screw combined with echelon tight closure spinal cord technique and implant fixation for severe spinal angular kyphosis.
METHODS:A total of 87 severe spinal angular kyphosis patients, 36 males and 51 females, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, the 306 Hospital of Chinese PLA from January 2006 to December 2013, were enrol ed in this study. They underwent posterior vertebral column resection, bilateral pedicle screw combined with echelon tight closure spinal cord, and implant fixation. Kyphosis, spinal sagittal imbalance, offset rate towards trunk side, operation time and intraoperative blood loss were observed before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The preoperative average kyphosis was 90.1° (31°-138°). The postoperative average kyphosis was 27.9° (15°-57°). The improvement rate was 76%. The improvement rate of trunk sagittal offset was 76%. Intraoperative blood loss was 800-3 000 mL, and average blood loss was 2 300 mL. The operation time was 5-7 hours, averagely 5.9 hours. Before treatment, two patients affected neurologic symptoms in double lower extremity, and their Frankel classification was grade C and became grade E after treatment. Al patients were fol owed up for 9-57 months. Bony fusion was achieved in al patients. No complications of spinal cord injury appeared, and no orthopedic angle missing occurred. These results indicate that during posterior vertebral column resection for treating severe angular stiffness of the thoracic kyphosis, blood vessels could be maintained greatly. Blood vessel injury-induced ischemic changes in spinal cord and ischemic reperfusion injury could be avoided. To reduce hemorrhage and to keep effective blood volume in patients with low body mass are effective for early recovery after treatment. Bilateral pedicle screw combined with echelon tight closure spinal cord technique greatly protected spinal cord cells against injury. We should pay attention to the protection and loose of nerve root to avoid postoperative nerve root irritation. Sufficient bone fusion ensures kyphosis correction, avoids spine lateral offset, and plays a key role in spinal function and postoperative orthopedic effect.

Objective:To explore the effect of information support and management complementary model in lung cancer patients with immunotherapy.Methods:From April 2019 to May 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 314 lung cancer patients who received immunotherapy in Henan Cancer Hospital as the research object. The patients were divided into the control group ( n=156) and the observation group ( n=158) according to the random number table method. The patients in the control group received routine nursing, and the patients in the observation group were given the information support and management complementary model on the basis of the control group. The Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS) , Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) , and Nursing Satisfaction Scale scores were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results:After the intervention, the MUIS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the scores of each dimension of SUPPH and each dimension of the Nursing Satisfaction Scale were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The information support and management complementary model can reduce the disease uncertainty, and improve the self-management efficiency and nursing satisfaction in lung cancer patients with immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the effect of a nanomaterial-based miR-320a inhibitor sustained release system in trauma-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (TIONFH). METHODS: The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG)- Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)- Poly-L-lysine (PLL) nanoparticles were constructed using the double emulsion method. The TIONFH rabbit model was established to observe the effects of miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticles in vivo. Hematoxylin–eosin staining and microcomputed tomography scanning were used for bone morphology analysis. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), derived from TIONFH rabbits, were used for in vitro experiments. Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. RESULTS: High expression of miR-320a inhibited the osteogenic differentiation capacity of BMSCs in vitro by inhibiting the expression of the osteoblastic differentiation markers ALP and RUNX2. MiR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticles were constructed with a mean loading efficiency of 1.414 ± 0.160%, and a mean encapsulation efficiency of 93.45 ± 1.24%, which released 50% of the loaded miR-320a inhibitor at day 12 and 80% on day 18. Then, inhibitor release entered the plateau. After treatment with the miR-320a inhibitor nanoparticle, the empty lacunae were decreased in the femoral head tissue of TIONFH rabbits, and the osteoblast surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS), osteoblast number/bone perimeter (Ob.N/B.Pm), bone volume fraction, and bone mineral density increased. Additionally, the expression of osteogenic markers RUNX2 and ALP was significantly elevated in the TIONFH rabbit model. CONCLUSION The miR-320a inhibitor-loaded PEG-PLGA-PLL nanoparticle sustained drug release system significantly contributed to bone regeneration in the TIONFH rabbit model, which might be a promising strategy for the treatment of TIONFH.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of Legionella pneumophila isolated from cooling water of central air conditioning system in public places in Zhongshan from 2012 to 2018, and to understand the spatiotemporal distribution of homologous strains, in order to provide evidence for the prevention, control and traceability of Legionella pneumophila infection. Methods Eighty-five Legionella pneumophila strains were isolated for serotype identification, and the molecular typing of the 85 isolates was performed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The strain location data was converted into latitude and longitude coordinates by GIS geocoding technology. The converted location data was overlaid on the map of Zhongshan City, mapping the molecular typing distribution of clusters using Qgis2.18.11 spatial processing software. Results Eighty-five strains of Legionella pneumophila included 9 serotypes, and the highest proportion was LP1, accounting for 61.18% (52/85). According to the similarity of 100%, 85 strains of Legionella pneumophila were divided into 56 patterns of PFGE bands (T1-T56), with 3 types being dominant. Same serotype of Legionella pneumophila strains showed diverse PFGE patterns. Different serotypes of Legionella pneumophila strains were basically identified as different PFGE patterns, while some were identified as same PFGE pattern. According to over 85% similarity, 8 clusters (A-H) were designated, strains of which were distributed in 12 districts. PFGE clustering clusters did not display obvious temporal and regional distribution differences, nor did they have temporal and regional clustering distributions. Conclusion Strains of Legionella pneumophila isolated from cooling water of central air conditioning system in public places in Zhongshan from 2012 to 2018 showed genetic diversity, and the main serotype was LP1. Isolates of clusters did not exist in different years or regions.

BACKGROUND: Till date, the optimal treatment strategy for delivering adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in localized and locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa), as a lower stage in PCa progression compared with metastatic PCa, is still unclear. This study compares the efficacy of castration alone with complete androgen blockade (CAB) as adjuvant ADT in patients with localized and locally advanced PCa undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with PCa, without lymph node or distant metastasis, who received RP in West China Hospital between January 2009 and April 2019, were enrolled in this study. We performed survival, multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression, and subgroup analyses. RESULTS: A total of 262 patients were enrolled, including 107 patients who received castration alone and 155 patients who received CAB. The survival analysis revealed that there was no significant difference between the two groups (hazard ratios [HR] = 1.07, 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] = 0.60-1.90, P = 0.8195). Moreover, the multivariable Cox model provided similarly negative results before and after adjustment for potential covariant. Similarly, there was no significant difference in the clinical recurrence between the two groups in both non-adjusted and adjusted models. Furthermore, our subgroup analysis showed that CAB achieved better biochemical recurrence (BCR) outcomes than medical castration alone as adjuvant ADT for locally advanced PCa (P for interaction = 0.0247, HR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.14-1.00, P = 0.0497). CONCLUSION Combined androgen blockade achieved better BCR outcomes compared with medical castration alone as adjuvant ADT for locally advanced PCa without lymph node metastasis.

Objective: To detect norovirus (NoV) GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgG, IgA and histo-blood group antigen (HBGA)-blocking antibodies in healthy populations of all age groups in China for better understanding the epidemiological features of norovirus in China from a serological point of view and providing basic data for vaccine development and clinical trial design. Methods: Indirect ELISA and HBGA-blocking assay were used to detect NoV-specific IgG, IgA and HBGA-blocking antibodies in serum samples collected from healthy natural populations (n=839, aged from six months to 88 years old) in Guangzhou, Fuyang and Yantai. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: The total positive rates of NoV GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgG antibodies were 91.9% and 93.0%. The positive rates of GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgA antibodies were 48.6% and 75.6%, and the titers of HBGA-blocking antibodies to GⅠ.1 and GⅡ.4 norovirus were 5.04 (95%CI: 4.63-5.49) and 18.15 (95%CI: 16.11-20.44). The positive rates of IgG and IgA antibodies generally showed an increasing trend with age. The positive rates of GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgG antibodies ranged from 79.2% to 100.0% and 76.7% to 100.0% in different age groups. They were 81.7% and 85.0% in the age group of 0.5-<1 year, 79.2% and 76.7% in the age group of 1-<2 years, and 98.1% and 96.3% in the age group of 12-<18 years, and maintained at 96% and 98% in the older age groups. The positive rates of GⅠ.1-specific IgA antibody ranged from 11.7% to 93.8% in different age groups and rapidly increased with age. It was 11.7% in the age group of 0.5-<1 year, and reached 93.3% in people aged 45-<60 years and 93.8% in people aged ≥60 years. The positive rates of GⅡ.4-specific IgA antibody ranged from 50.8% to 88.8% in different age groups with 50.8% in people aged 0.5-<1 year, and 86.7%-90.7% in people aged 12-<18 years and older. The titer of GⅠ.1 HBGA-blocking antibody generally increased with age. The antibody titer in populations aged 0.5-<12 years old was lower than that in those aged 18 years and above (GMT: 2.98-4.07 vs 8.21-11.62, P<0.001), and the titer in people of 12-<18 years old was lower than that in those of 45 years old and above (GMT: 5.21 vs 11.03-11.62, P<0.05). No obvious change with age was observed in the titer of GⅡ.4 HBGA-blocking antibody excepting the significant difference between populations of 2-<5 and 22-<45 years old (GMT: 26.73 vs 11.87, P<0.01). Conclusions This study revealed the characteristics of serum NoV GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgG, IgA and HBGA blocking antibodies in populations of different age groups in central and eastern China through analyzing their positive rates and titers and provided preliminary seroepidemiological data for the development of NoV vaccines in China.
