Objective To explore the association between syndrome types of primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC) and coagulation function.Methods From Jan.2015 to May.2016,a total of 176 cases of PHC patients were enrolled to analyze the correlation between syndrome types and coagulation function.Results The liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome(34.66%) was the most common syndrome in all patients,followed by wet and heat resistance syndrome(22.73%) and qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome(17.05%).Prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT) and D-dimer(D-D) levels of patients were significantly increased,with significant differences between liver stagnation and spleen deficiency group and wet and heat resistance syndrome group,liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group(P<0.05).While fibrinogen(FIB) decreased significantly,but without significant differences between each group(P>0.05).Conclusion Coagulation function in PHC patients with spleen and kidney Yang deficiency syndrome,wet and heat resistance syndrome and liver and kidney Yin deficiency syndrome could be poor,but that in patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome and liver stagnation and spleen deficiency could be relatively good.Increasing of PT,APTT,TT and D-D could be with certain significance to identify liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome with other syndrome types.

Objective To investigate changes in the expression of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE) and the oxidative DNA damage marker 8 OHdG in distant hippocampus regions of the rat brain after focal cerebral ischemia of the middle cerebral artery.Methods SD rats were divided into the sham surgery group and the pMCAO group (induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion).Pathological changes in brain tissues were examined at 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h.The expression of APE and 8-OHdG was measured by immunohistochemical staining methods.TUNEL staining was performed to detect apoptosis.Results Reduction of APE expression in the CA1 region of the hippocampus on the ischemia side appeared at 2 h in the pMCAO group and continued as ischemia persisted (F=11.91,P＜0.05).The expression of 8OHdG and TUNEL immunoreactivity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus on the ischemia side were first observed at 6h in the pMCAO group and intensified during the remainder of induced ischemia (F=9.23 and 10.46 respectively,P＜0.05 for both).Compared with the sham group,8-OHdG expression and TUNEL immunoreactivity in the pMCAO group were at nearly the same levels from 24 h to 72h.Conclusions Oxidative DNA damage occurs in hippocampus regions of the rat brain after experimentally induced focal cerebral ischemia of the middle cerebral artery.APE expression declines in regions distant from focal cerebral ischemia.Development and accumulation of oxidative DNA damage can induce apoptosis in certain brain regions.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect and toxicity of capecitabine and temozolomide in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Methods:A total of 14 patients with stageⅣwell-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET G1/G2/G3) were treated with oral CAPTEM regimen, and the response rate, PFS and adverse effect after treatment were analyzed. All data analyses were performed using software SPSS17.0. Results:These 14 patients were followed-up for more than 2 years. Till Oct 2016, one patient got CR, one patient got PR, four patients got SD. Median progression-free survival was 8.9 months. The two year survival rate was 85.7%. Only one patient experienced grade 3 adverse events. Conclusion:CAPTEM is an effective and well-tolerated salvage regimen for the treatment of advanced well-differentiated pNET.

Objective To explore the prevalence and the relative factors of the overweight and the obese in a population of Gansu Province pre-pregnancy women.and the effects of pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index (BMI) on gestational weight gain and pregnant outcome.Methods We conducted a populationbased birth cohort study in Gansu Province Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from February,2010 to December,2011.Single live term birth women who have complete anthropometry were enrolled this study.They were categorized into four BMI groups according to World Health Organization's BMI recommendations for Asian populations.We explored the prevalence and the relative factors of the overweight and the obese,and the effects of pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index on gestational weight gain and birth outcomes by Chi-square test,analysis of variance.Results A total of 6 400 cases included in this study.The BMI range is from 13.3 to 38.1,the average BMI is (20.6 ±2.7).Among 6 400 cases,636 cases(9.9％) and 416 cases (6.5％) were overweight and obese.The average age (unit:years) is increase gradually in low weight group (27.8±3.8),normal group (29.1 ±4.3),overweight group (30.3 ±4.7) and obese group (30.6±4.6),the difference was statistically significant (F=77.490,P＜0.01).The result prompt that the median BMI increased with the increasing of maternal age (r=0.18,P＜0.01).The BMI of multiparous women (21.22 ±2.63) is higher than nulliparous women (20.43 ± 2.64),the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.630,P＜0.01).The BMI has negatively correlated with education level and economic income level (r=-0.06,P＜0.01; r=-0.04,P=0.036).With the increase of BMI,the weight gain of early (13 weeks) pregnancy (F=8.892,P＜ 0.01) and the total weight gain during whole pregnancy (F=21.700,P＜ 0.01) gradually reduced in four groups.The neonatal birth weight in overweight group is largest,in turn higher than obesity group,normal group and low weight group,the difference was statistically significant (F=11.261,P＜0.01).With increasing BMI,the incidence of pre eclampsia (x2=85.758,P＜0.05),gestational diabetes mellitus (x2=58.913,P＜0.05),postpartum hemorrhage (x2=13.501,P＜0.05),neonatal hypoglycemia (x2=6.563,P＜0.05) and neonatal pulmonary hyaline membrane (x2=9.579,P＜0.05) was increased.The incidence of caesarean section (x2=125.442,P＜0.05),macrosomia (x2=62.963,P＜0.05) and birth defects (x2=9.087,P＜0.05) also increased.The incidence of abnormal umbilical cord in overweight group is highest,in turn higher than normal group,low weight group,and the obesity group (x2=15.82g,P=0.001).The incidence of neonatal electrolyte disorder in obesity group was higher than low weight group,normal group,and the overweight group (x2=12.092,P=0.007).The incidence of preterm birth in overweight group is highest,in turn higher than obesity group,normal group and the low weight group (x2=7.865,P=0.049).Compared with the normal group,the risk of caesarean section (OR=l.700,95％ CI:1.325-2.181),pre-eclampsia (OR=2.436,95％ CI:1.578-3.761),gestational diabetes (OR=3.182,95％ CI:1.049-9.653) and abnormal umbilical cord (OR=2.252,95％ CI:1.267-4.004) in overweight group was increased.the risk of pre eclampsia (OR=2.585,95％ CI:1.020-6.914),macrosomia (OR=2.484,95％ CI:1.017 6.070),neonatal electrolyte disorder (OR=4.430,95％ CI:1.290-t5.217) in obesity group was increased.Conclusions The median BMI before pregnancy increased with increasing maternal age,parity,but decreased with education level and income level.The weight gain of early (13 weeks) pregnancy and the total weight gain during whole pregnancy decreased with increasing BMI.Overweight and obesity before pregnancy increased the risk the caesarean section,preeclampsia,gestational diabetes,macrosomia and neonatal electrolyte disorder.

Objective:To investigate the effect of JAK2 V617F gene mutation status and burden on BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).Methods:Clinical data of 199 patients with MPN in Cangzhou Central Hospital in Hebei Province from September 2015 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the correlations of JAK2 V617F gene mutation burden with clinicopathological features and prognostic score of MPN patients were analyzed.Results:Of the 199 BCR-ABL-negative MPN patients, 138 patients (69.4%) were positive for JAK2 V617F mutation; of these patients, 64 (88.9%) of 72 patients with polycythemia vera (PV) were mutation-positive, 54 (53.5%) of 101 patients with essential thrombocytosis (ET) were positive, 20 (80.0%) of 25 patients with myelofibrosis (MF) were mutation-positive, and 1 patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) was mutation-positive. About 55.1% (76/138) of patients had a high JAK2 V617F mutation burden. The mutation burden in PV group was the highest, MF was the second, and ET was the lowest; the mutation burdens in these three groups were (73.9±18.3)%, (59.9±25.2)% and (25.0±16.5)%, respectively. Mutation burden was positively correlated with the white blood cell counts of patients with PV, ET and MF ( r values were 0.626, 0.675 and 0.796, all P < 0.01). JAK2 V617F mutation burden was positively correlated with the prognostic scores of patients with PV and ET ( r values were 0.296 and 0.404, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The JAK2 V617F mutation burden of BCR-ABL-negative MPN patients is related to clinicopathological factors, and the prognosis of patients with high JAK2 V617F mutation burden is poor.
