Objective To explore the significance of Survivin and PTEN in gastric cancer development and correlation between Survivin and PTEN.Methods Immunohistochemical methods were applied to detect the expres.sion of Survivin and PTEN in 105 pathological specimens of gastric cancer, in comparison to that in 98 negative gastric mucosa tissues.Results The positive rate of Survivin expression was 82.9% (87/105) in tissue specimens of gastric cancer and 6.1% (6/98) in tissue specimens of non-gastric cancer;The difference between them was statistically sig nificant (P <0.01).The positive rates of PTEN expression were 34.3% (36/105) in tissue specimens of gastric canc-er and 99.0% (97/98) in tissue specimens of non-gastric cancer;The difference between them was statistically signifi-cant ( P <0.01).The expression of Survivin and PTEN in tissues of gastric cancer had nothing to do with the gender of patients ( P > 0.05 ) , but was correlated with the degree of tumor cell differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node me-tastasis, distant organ metastasis and TNM staging(P <0.05).Analysis by Spearman showed that Survivin was nega-tively correlated with PTEN( r = -0.23 ,P < 0.05 ).Conclusion The incidence of gastric cancer was related to the abnormally high level of Survivin expression and absence of PTEN expression;The expression of Survivin and PTEN in tissues of gastric cancer was unrelated with the gender of patients, but related to the degree of tumor cell differentia-tion, depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,distant organ metastasis and TNM staging.The expression of Survivin was negatively correlated with the expression of PTEN.

Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of resveratrol (Res) on proliferation and differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and treated with resveratrol in different dosages.Cell proliferation was analyzed by WST-1 method. Oil red O staining method and spectrophotography were applied to analyze the degree of differentiation. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the mRNA expression of adiponectin and leptin. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1),peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCTTA enhancer binding proteinα (C/EBPα).Results Res inhibited proliferation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a time-dose dependent manner.The expression levels of adiponectin and leptin mRNA were decreased, and Res also inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to differentiate into mature adipocytes. Res increased the expression levels of Sirt1 and decreased the expression levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα.Conclusions Resveratrol can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The underlying mechanisms may include enhancing expression of Sirt1 and inhibiting expression of PPARγ,C/EBPα which are related to cell differentiation.

Objective To evaluate the radiation protective efficacy of different types and the positions of ceiling-suspended lead shield to the principal and assistant interventional operators in order to provide a scientific basis for the selection of optimal scheme in using ceiling-suspended lead shield.Methods At the principal and assistant interventional operators’ standing places the personal dose-measuring instruments were set up, which were placed at the height of 20 cm to 180 cm above the ground with an interval distance of 20 cm between each other.The postero-anterior (PA) projection and left lateral projection were used.The ceiling-suspended protection lead shields included lead glass (glass type) and lead glass with connected lead flexible stripe below (mixed type).The placed sites of the protection lead-shields were close to the principal operator, away from the principal operator, on the left side of the principal operator and close to the X-ray tube respectively.The radiation doses of PA projection and left lateral projection were determined.The real-time radiation dose rate and dose shielding rate at the nine measuring positions for the principal operator and assistant operator were separately calculated.The results were analyzed.Results The radiation protection of the glass type was slightly superior to that of the mixed type, but the difference was not significant.The principal operator was best protected when the shield was positioned close to him in the PA projection, and for left lateral projection the principal operator was best protected when the shield was positioned on his left side.For the assistant operator, the optimal protection was obtained when the shield was positioned close to him in both PA and left lateral projection.In the optimal position of ceiling-suspended lead shield, the highest radiation dose rate (0.71 mSv/h in glass group and 1.07 mSv/h in mixed group) was recorded on the principal operator at the height of 120 cm at PA projection, and higher radiation dose rate (≥0.47 mSv/h) was recorded on every point of both operators at the left lateral projection.Meanwhile, the overall received radiation doses of the two groups were very close.At the principal operator standing area, except for the position of 120 cm height (attenuation ratio 60.11% in glass group and 39.89% in mixed group), the attenuation ratio of each measuring point was above 93%.And the assistant operator standing area the attenuation ratio was 57%-97%.The lateral shielding ratio was generally slightly higher than PA shielding ratio.Conclusion The radiation protection effect of the two type shields is quite similar, both shields can obtain excellent protection efficacy.But the radiation dose at the height of 120 cm above the ground at PA projection is higher for the principal operator, while at lateral projection the radiation dose at all height levels is still relatively higher for both operators.Therefore, the radiation protection at the level of 120 cm height needs to be strengthened and the lateral projection exposure should be used as less as possible.

Objective To measure the dose to the primary operator and assistant operators by employing eight beam projections commonly used in coronary angiography with and without radiation protection shields in order to supply helpful guidance on radiation protection in cardiac intervention.Methods From 20 to 180 cm above the ground at the primary and assistant operators' locations,a DoseAware personal dose meter was placed in terms of an increment of 20 cm to measure radiation dose.Eight commonly used beam projections were performed,including LAO (left anterior oblique) 45°,RAO (right anterior oblique) 30°,CRAN (cranial)25°,cranial LAO (LAO45°/25°),caudal LAO(LAO45°/ 25°),CAUD (caudal) 25°,cranial RAO (RAO30°/25°),caudal RAO (caudal RAO30°/25°).Under the two different conditions,with or without radiation protection shields,the doses to the operators in the selected beam projections were respectively recorded at nine measuring positions and the shielding factor were calculated.Results The primary operator was effectively protected with radiation protection shields.In the standing area of the primary operator,except for the position at the height of 120 cm (radiation dose rate:0.35-4.78 mSv/h;shielding factor:27.67％-89.33％),the shielding factor for each measuring position was above 91％.Higher radiation doses were found at caudal LAO,LAO,and cranial LAO.The shielding factor for the assisting operator was lower than for the primary operator.In the standing area of the assisting operator (radiation dose rate:0.27-1.86 mSv/h;shielding factor:30.34％-92.13％),the peak levels were found at the height of 80,100,140 cm.And caudal RAO,caudal LAO,CRAN,LAO were found to have received higher radiation doses.Conclusions Emphasis should be attached to the use of radiation shields in coronary angiography.With radiation protection shields,higher dose is still recorded in caudal LAO,LAO,cranial LAO,caudal RAO.Furthermore,it should be paid more attention to radiation protection at 80-140 cm height,and less prolonged exposure should be employed in those beam projections mentioned above.

Objective: To explore associated factors of mobile phone dependence and its relation with psychological resilience among college students. Methods: College students from 5 universities in Hefei were randomly selected through multi-stage sampling (stratified clustering) and investigated with questionnaires. A total of 2 502 college students were included in the analysis. Results: Mobile phone dependence among college students differed by gender (χ2=18.25, P<0.01), residence (χ2=17.71, P<0.01), whether in a relationship(χ2=8.09, P<0.01), grade(χ2=19.58, P<0.01), only child(χ2=7.48, P<0.01), family economic status (χ2=17.43, P<0.01) and time spent in mobile phone (χ2=73.46，P<0.01) while no similar differences were found by family structure and length of mobile phone ownership. Spearman correlation showed negative correlation (P<0.01) between mobile phone dependence and psychological resilience. Logistic regression model results showed that female, not in a relationship, lower grade, less time spent in mobile phone and high psychological resilience were negatively correlated with mobile phone dependence. Compared with students from rural areas, urban area was positively associated with mobile phone dependence. Emotional control, family support, and interpersonal assistance associated with lower risk for mobile phone dependence. Conclusion Mobile phone dependence is affected by gender, relationship status, grade, usage duration, and residence. High psychological resilience associated negatively with risk for mobile phone dependence.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, compare the body composition, clinical indicators, and occurrence of poor UC outcomes between the malnutrition group and the non-malnutrition group, and analyze the risk factors of malnutrition.Methods:A total of 104 UC patients hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University during 2019 to 2021 and with relevant data collected through UC-sarcopenia Prospective Study were included. Data including nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores, diagnosis of malnutrition per GLIM criteria, body composition data, clinical data and occurrence of poor outcomes were extracted. All patients were screened for nutritional risk using NRS 2002 at admission, and those at nutritional risk were further evaluated for malnutrition diagnosis per GLIM criteria. The prevalence of malnutrition in UC inpatients, the differences in indicators between malnutrition and non-malnutrition groups, and the risk factors of malnutrition were analyzed.Results:Among the enrolled UC patients , 35 (33.7%) were at nutritional risk, and 30 (28.8%) were diagnosed as malnutrition by GLIM criteria. Compared with the non-malnutrition group, the body composition indexes, including body fat mass, protein, skeletal muscle mass, segmental muscle mass, body water, waist circumference, arm circumference, visceral fat area, basal metabolic rate and body cell mass, all decreased to some extent in the malnutrition group ( P < 0.05). Prealbumin and albumin levels were lower ( P < 0.01). The modified Mayo endoscopic score (MMES), C-reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were higher ( P < 0.01). The rates of re-admission and surgery due to disease activity at 90 days were higher ( P < 0.05). High MMES ( OR =1.534, P = 0.044) and low albumin level ( OR =0.781, P = 0.013) were risk factors for malnutrition in UC patients. Conclusions:GLIM criteria is suitable for the diagnosis of malnutrition in hospitalized UC patients, and malnutrition patients are more likely to experience poor outcomes such as short-term re-admission and surgery. UC patients with higher MMES and lower albumin level are more likely to suffer from malnutrition.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of Chinese diagnostic model, the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria and the 2018 ACR new classification criteria (draft) for Takayasu arteritis (TA).Methods:A total of 196 TA patients who came to our hospital from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2019 in the TA database of the department of rheumatology and immunology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and 131 patients with other vascular diseases visited during the same period were selected. General characteristics, clinical data, laboratory tests and imaging tests of all patients were collected. Categorical variables were presented as numbers and percentages, between-group differences were analyzed using the χ2 test. Continuous variables were presented as the Mean± SD for a normal distribution or median and interquartile range (IQR) for a non-normal distribution. Between-group differences were analyzed using the Student's t-test or Mann- Whitney test, as appropriate. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy and receiver operating characteristics of the above diagnostic/classification criteria area under the curve were analyzed. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results:In terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), Chinese diagnostic models was 85.7%, 96.2%, 89.9%, 97.1%, 81.5%, 0.909, 1990 ACR criteria was 47.4%, 97.7%, 67.6%, 96.9%, 55.4%, 0.726, 2018 ACR classification criteria was 79.1%, 98.5%, 86.5%, 98.7%, 75.9%, 0.888. The difference between the Chinese diagnostic model and the 2018 ACR criteria in AUC was not statistically significant ( Z=1.186 , P>0.05). The sensitivity, accuracy and diagnostic efficiency of Chinese diagnostic model was the best, that of the 1990 ACR classification criteria was the worst, and the specificity of the 2018 ACR classification criteria was the highest. The Kappa value of the 2018 ACR classification criteria and the Chinese diagnostic model was 0.719, which had good consistency, and the Kappa value of the consistency between the 1990 ACR classification criteria and the Chinese TA diagnostic model was 0.516. Conclusion:The Chinese diagnostic model, which is based on the clinical characteristics of the Chinese TA population, has a good diagnostic efficacy for the Chinese population. The 2018 ACR classification criteria (draft) is highly consistent with the Chinese TA diagnostic model, and can be promoted and applied in practice.

Objective: To investigate the survival and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with myeloid neoplasms and RUNX1 mutations. Methods: From July 2014 to April 2018, the clinical data of forty-two AML/MDS patients with RUNX1 mutations in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristic features and distribution of the mutations frequently observed with RUNX1 mutations were summarized, the prognosis of allo-HSCT for these patients was also analyzed. Results: Among 42 AML/MDS patients with RUNX1 mutations, 27 were male, 15 were female. The median age was 43.5 (16-68) years old. There are 31 patients in allo-HSCT group and 11 patients in chemotherapy group. RUNX1 mutations co-occurred with many other gene mutations, the most frequent mutations were FLT3 (26.2%, 11/42) . Interestingly, FLT3 mutations only occurred in AML patients compared with MDS patients (P=0.014) . ASXL1 (25%, 3/12) mutations were observed as the most frequent co-mutations in MDS patients. One-year overall survival (OS) , disease-free survival (DFS) of allo-HSCT and chemotherapy patients were (70.6±9.0) %, (61.0±9.4) % and (34.4±16.7) %, (22.4±15.3) %, respectively. When OS and DFS between allo-HSCT and chemotherapy patients were compared, significant differences (χ²=4.843, 4.320, P<0.05) were showed. In univariate analysis, transplant age >45 years was a negative effect for OS [HR=4.819 (95% CI 1.145-20.283) , P=0.032] and DFS [HR=5.945 (95% CI 1.715-20.604) , P=0.005]. Also, complex chromosome karyotype abnormality was a negative effect for OS [HR=5.572 (95%CI 1.104-28.113) , P=0.038]. Conclusion Transplant age (>45 years) and complex chromosome karyotype abnormality were negative prognostic factors in allo-HSCT for myeloid neoplasms patients with RUNX1 mutations.

Objective: To investigate the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and MLL rearrangement. Methods: From September 2009 to May 2016, the clinical data of 47 patients with MLL-rearranged AML undergoing allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among 47 MLL-rearranged AML patients, 24 were male and 23 female. The median age was 30 (15-58) years old. There are 36 (76%) patients were FAB-types M4/M5. Two-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse incidence and transplant-related mortality (TRM) were (64.4±8.4)%, (47.3±9.3)%, 41.0% and 17.9%, respectively. Of them, 45 patients were detected with 11q23 translocations, and 2 patients with normal karyotype were MLL partial tandem duplication. According to different chromosome karyotype, 47 patients were divided into three groups: 16 cases of t (6; 11), 15 cases of t (9; 11) and 16 cases of other types. Overall survival was compared between the three groups, there was no significant difference (χ²=1.509, P=0.472). On multivariate analysis, independent risk factor on OS was transplant age >45 years [HR=4.454(95%CI 1.314-15.099), P=0.016]. The multivariate analysis also confirmed the higher TRM in patients at non-CR state when transplanted [HR=10.370(95%CI 1.043-103.110), P=0.046]. Positive minimal residual disease (MRD) before transplantation was a negative prognostic factor on DFS [HR=4.236(95%CI 1.238-14.495), P=0.021] and relapse incidence (RI) [HR=5.491(95%CI 1.371-21.995), P=0.016]. Conclusion Transplant age (>45 years), allo-HSCT in non-CR state adn positive MRD before transplantation were negative prognostic factors in allo-HSCT for MLL-rearranged AML patients.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) in the east China Takayasu arteritis (ECTA) cohort and their subgroups, and evaluate the disease characteristics.Methods:Patients diagnosed with TA in ECTA cohort from January 2009 to October 2019 were enrolled and their data were analyzed. The characteristics were analyzed and compared within subgroups using t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test or Chi-square test. Results:A total of 454 patients were included, with the male to female ratio of 1∶4.75(79/375), and the main complaint were dizziness/headache, fatigue, and chest tightness/pain. The type Ⅴ and Ⅰ were the most common angiographic pattern, among which the subclavian artery and carotid artery were most vulnerable, manifested as vascular stenosis. Hypertension, tuberculosis and hepatitis B were common complications. In subgroup comparison, symptoms and inflammation index were much more evident in the active group, female group, <40 years old, and newly diagnosed group. C-reactive protein (CRP)[10(2, 33) mg/L vs 3(1, 14) mg/L, Z=-4.49, P<0.01), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [(45±33) mm/1 h vs (25±23) mm/1 h, t=-5.82, P<0.01), in the active group were significantly higher than those in the inactive group, while the ESR in female patients was only higher than that in males, but without statistical significant difference. SAA in the young age group, ESR in the newly diagnosed group was significantly higher than that in the other subgroups [19(6, 95) mg/L vs 10(4, 39) mg/L, Z=2.06, P<0.05] [(44±34) mm/1 h vs (32±28) mm/1 h, t=3.77, P<0.01]. Conclusion:The TA patients are mainly young women, and are in active disease when first being diagnosed. The type Ⅴ and Ⅰ are the most common artery involve-ment pattern. Hypertension and tuberculosis are the most frequent complications.
