Objective To determine the effects of high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) on oxidative stress in patients during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods Forty-five patients undergoing elective radical esophageal cancer resection were divided into three groups with 15 cases each by random digits table: two lung ventilation group ( group A), OLV group (group B), HFJV- OLV group ( group C, working pressure 1 kg/cm2 and frequency 100 times/min). Venous blood samples were taken before induction (T0),at30min (T1),90min (T2),150min (T3) after OLV and the end of operation (T4) for measuring serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO). Results SOD was lower at T2-T4 in group B[(47 ± 10), (37 ±9), (41 ±7) kU/L] and group C[(58 ± 12), (51 ± 11), (49 ± 9) kU/L] than those in group A [(78 ±8), (75 ±7), (79 ±6) kU/L](P< 0.05),and MDA and NO were lower at T1-T4 in group B and group C than that in group A(P< 0.05). SOD was higher at T3 in group C than that in group B (P < 0.05), MDA at T1-T4 and NO at T2-T4 were lower in group C than those in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion HFJV can effectively decrease oxidative stress in patients during OLV.

Objective To explore the cancer incidence in registration areas in Shanxi Province. Methods Data of 8 cancer registration areas in 2011 were taken into account and cancer incidence in different areas with different ages was compared with that in other domestic areas. Results 8 395 new cases in Shanxi all cancer sites were reported in 2011, including 4 810 male and 3 585 female. The incidence of malignant cancer of Shanxi was 207.53/100 000, and the standardized incidence of Chinese population and world population were 125.20/100 000 and 165.72/100 000, respectively. In urban areas, the incidence of Shanxi and the standardized incidence of Chinese population were 202.49/100 000 and 112.81/100 000, respectively. In rural areas, incidence rate of Shanxi was 211.96/100 000 and the standardized incidence of Chinese population was 138.43/100 000. In Shanxi Province, the major malignant cancer sites for males involved stomach, lung, esophagus, liver and colorectum, and cancer sites for females were more on cervix, lung, breast, stomach and esophagus. Conclusions Upper gastrointestinal cancer and uterine cervix cancer are the major cancers in Shanxi registration areas. The incidence of stomach cancer and uterine cervix cancer in Shanxi Province are much higher than national average.

Objective To investigate the effect of CDT1 gene over-expression on the apoptosis and cell cycle distribution in liver cells with a characteristic of genomic instability induced by radiation(GIR).Methods Lentivirus particles were transferred into liver cells of GIR to up-regulate the expression of CDT1 gene.The apoptosis and the cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).The expression changes of p53,ATM,ATR,Bcl-2,and Caspase-3 genes were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results CDT1 gene was efficiently increased by the gene transfection(t =15.56,P < 0.05).In the CDT1 over-expressed cells,while the apoptosis ratio was increased (t =4.19,P < 0.05),the expressions of p53 and Bcl-2 gene were decreased (t =-4.21,-2.06,P < 0.05),but the expression of ATM,ATR and Caspase-3 changed with no significant difference compared with control.Conclusions Over-expression of CDT1 could regulate genomic instability through apoptosis pathway and checkpoint independent of p53.

With the extensive application of uranium in military, industrial and civil fields, the possibility of human exposure to uranium has become increasingly likely. When uranium is accidentally released into the environment, it can enter the human body by various pathways and accumulate in the kidneys, leading to proximal tubule epithelial cell damage or even death, and in severe cases, nephrotoxicity. Uranium exerts both chemical and radiological toxicity, with its kidney-damaging effects primarily attributed to chemical toxicity. Low-level uranium exposure causes mild kidney damage, while prolonged or high-level exposure alters kidney structure and biomarker level of uranium-induced nephrotoxicity (such as creatinine, urea nitrogen and kidney injury molecule-1, etc.). Uranium exposure also induces DNA damage and mutations, kidney inflammation, and renal cell autophagy. Current research on uranium nephrotoxicity primarily focuses on uranium-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, which leads to oxidative stress and apoptosis (mainly by mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum pathway), ultimately causing renal tissue damage. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying uranium-induced kidney toxicity remain incomplete. Future research on mechanism of uranium-induced cell damage, especially metabolism, intracellular distribution, and additional mechanisms, remains a long-term and challenging endeavor.

Objective:To explore the prevalence rate of restless leg syndrome (RLS) and its related influencing factors in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Anhui province.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study, including regular MHD patients in blood purification centers of 27 hospitals in southern, central and northern Anhui province from January to March 2020. The investigation included general demographic characteristics, primary diseases, complications, dialysis-related conditions and drug use. According to the presence or absence of RLS, the patients were divided into RLS group and non-RLS group, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the influencing factors of RLS.Results:The study included 3 025 MHD patients, aged (54.8±12.8) years old, with 1 819 males (60.1%) and 1 206 females (39.9%). The dialysis age was (5.5±3.8) years. The prevalence rates of RLS in MHD patients were 8.8% (265/3 025), of which 13.7% (77/561), 7.7% (88/1 145) and 7.6% (100/1 319) in southern, central and northern Anhui province, respectively. The prevalence rates of RLS in MHD patients in secondary and tertiary hospitals were 9.5% (55/577) and 8.6% (210/2 448), respectively. Proportion of hypertension, dialysis age, intact parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, 25(OH)D3, and proportions of secondary hyperparathyroidism, erythropoietin use, iron supplements, active vitamin D use, calcimimetic use, dialysis blood flow <250 ml/min and low-flux dialyzers in RLS group were higher than those in non-RLS group, while hemoglobin level and proportions of non-calcium-phosphorus binders and high-flux dialyzers were lower than those in non-RLS group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that long dialysis age ( OR=1.188, 95% CI 1.031-1.369, P=0.017) and high alkaline phosphatase ( OR=1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.013, P=0.047) were correlated with a higher risk of RLS in MHD patients. Conclusions:The prevalence rate of RLS in MHD patients in Anhui province is 8.8%. The prevalence rates of RLS in MHD patients in southern, central and northern Anhui province are 13.7%, 7.7% and 7.6%, respectively. The prevalence rate of RLS in secondary and tertiary hospitals are 9.5% and 8.6%, respectively. Long dialysis age and high alkaline phosphatase are associated with a high risk of RLS in MHD patients.

Coronavirus infection can cause serious respiratory and digestive system diseases in hu-mans and animals.In recent years,the frequent outbreaks and newly outbreaks of coronavirus in-fection have threatened global public health and the development of livestock and poultry.Howev-er,the development of anti-coronavirus drugs and vaccines was restricted due to the insufficient understanding of the mechanisms of coronavirus pathogenesis and cross species transmission.Re-verse genetic manipulation technology is a powerful tool in virological research,which can be used for the study of pathogenesis mechanisms,replication mechanisms and function analysis of protein.It is also be used in the development of attenuated or gene labeled vaccines,and antiviral drugs.Due to the large genome and complex structure of the coronavirus,the reverse genetic manipulation technology of coronavirus has been lagging for a long time.With the continuous updating of molec-ular biology methods,various new construction strategies have emerged.This article focuses on the construction strategy of the reverse genetic operating system for coronavirus,as well as its applica-tion in virus transmission and pathogenic mechanisms,and development of vaccines,which will provide favorable tools for the prevention and control of the coronavirus infection.
