Objective:To analyze the research progress and challenges in electronic health records(EHR) in China by means of literature retrieval of EHR research in China.Methods:" Electronic health record" " Electronic health archive" and " Electronic medical record" were used as search terms, and subject retrieving method was used to retrieve literatures published before December 31 2019 on China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) database. Such software as SATI, Netdraw, VOSviewer, UCINET and CiteSpace etc. were used for bibliometric analysis and knowledge graphing. These practices could analyze and visualize in an overall perspective the power distsribution, hot spots and evolution trends of EHR study in China.Results:2 146 papers on EHR research were retrieved. The study found that relatively stable groups of core authors on EHR had taken shape in China, and there were not representative authority organizations as of now, while a healthy research ecology was emerging gradually; the current studies were centering on seven hot spots and presented a clear technology-based tendency.Conclusions:Such areas as data security, nation-wide system integration, application performance upgrading mechanism and EHR data industrialization constitute both development opportunities and major challenges as well.

Objective To compare the prognosis and life quality of patients with early-stage breast cancer(stage I or II)undergoing breast-conserving surgery or modified radical mastectomy.Methods 180 cases with early-stage breast cancer were divided into 2 groups:breast-conserving surgery group(BCS)and modified radical mastcctomy group(MRM),with 90 cases in each group.The 2 groups were all given radiotherapy,chemotherapy and endocrine therapy according to indications.The prognosis and life quality in the 2 groups were compared.Results The 5-year-postoperative follow-up showed there was no significant difference in duration of disease-free survival(DFS)of the 2 groups.However,life quality of BCS patients was significantly better than that of MRM patients in terms of general health,physical function,pain,vitality,social functioning,emotion and mental health.Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery is highly recommended for patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) refers to the percentage of DNA strand breaks in the total sperm. Many studies suggest that elevated DFI can lead to male infertility and early spontaneous abortion. High-DFI patients are more likely to fail in assisted reproduction and preliminary treatment or prevention methods have been developed for this population. This review focuses on the impact of DFI on clinical pregnancy outcomes and progress in the studies of its treatment.

Objective To observe the influence of down-regulation of HtrA1 expression by small interfering RNA on light-injured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells.Methods Cultured human RPE cells(8th-12th generations)were exposed to the blue light at the intensity of (2000 ± 500) Lux for 6 hours to establish the light injured model.Light injured cells were divided into HtrA1 siRNA group,negative control group and blank control group.HtrA1 siRNA group and negative control group were transfected with HtrA1 siRNA and control siRNA respectively.The proliferation of cells was assayed by CCK-8 method.Transwell test was used to detect the invasion ability of these three groups.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis.The expression of HtrA1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A was detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot respectively.Results The mRNA and protein level of HtrA1 in the light injured cells increased significantly compared to that in normal RPE cells (t=17.62,15.09;P＜0.05).Compared with negative control group and blank control group,the knockdown of HtrA1 in HtrA1 siRNA group was associated with reduced cellular proliferation (t=6.37,4.52),migration (t =9.56,12.13),apoptosis (t =23.37,29.08) and decreased mRNA (t=17.36,11.32,7.29,4.05) and protein levels (t=12.02,15.28,4.98,6.24) of HtrA1 and VEGF-A.Cells of HtrA1 siRNA group mainly remained in G0/G1 phase,the difference was statistically significant (t=6.24,4.93;P ＜0.05).Conclusion Knockdown of HtrA1 gene may reduce the proliferation,migration capability and apoptosis of light-injured RPE cells,and decrease the expression of VEGF-A.

OBJECTIVEThis study explores the effects of different fibrin glue combination modes on the survival, proliferation, and apoptosis of dental follicle cells (DFCs), as well as to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of fibrin glue as transplantation material.

METHODSThe membranes of surviving DFCs were marked using 3,3'-dioctadecyloxa carbocyanine perchlorate (DIO), and the cell number was counted by using ImageJ2x software. The apoptotic cells were marked with prodium iodide (PI).

RESULTSCompared with that of the 3D-2 and 2D-1 groups, the degradation speed of the 3D-1 group was the slowest. DFCs could survive and grow well in fibrinogen with a concentration of 15 mg · mL⁻¹ supplemented with thrombin with a concentration of 2 U · mL⁻¹. In particular, the 3D-1 combination mode was significantly conducive to cell proliferation and stretching.

CONCLUSIONFibrin glue can be used as an effective cell transplantation material. The different combination modes have certain effects on cell proliferation. The 3D-1 combination mode is more conducive to the survival and proliferation of DFCs than other modes.

This study examined the effect of small interfering RNA-mediated β-catenin knockdown on the survival, invasion and chemosensitivity of human osteosarcoma cells (U2-OS cells). The siRNA against β-catenin was constructed and transfected into U2-OS cells. The expression of β-catenin was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell growth and apoptosis was detected in the presence or absence of doxorubicin by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Cell invasion ability was measured by transwell assay. The results showed that the transfection of β-catenin siRNA resulted in decreased expression of β-catenin, suppression of invasion and motility of U2-OS cells, reduced chemosensitivity to doxorubicin in vitro, and little change in cell growth and apoptosis. Additionally, down-regulated MT1-MMP expression was found after transfection. It was concluded that knockdown of β-catenin gene may decrease the invasive ability of human osteosarcoma cells through down-regulated MT1-MMP expression, and the chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells against doxorubicin.

BACKGROUND:So far, engineered myocardium is stil facing many problems. Research has demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be differentiated into myocardial cells. Polyglycolide and polycaprolactone are commonly used artificial polymers, which have good biocompatibility.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the growth of the poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch in vitro in normal myocardium and infarcted myocardium.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in Sprague-Dawley rats were separated using adherent separation and selection method, cultured in vitro. The third passage was labeled with DAPI. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellsuspensions (2×106/cm2) were produced and planted on poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer scaffolds to form poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch. After culturing for 48 hours, the specimens were observed under electron microscope, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and then observed under light microscope. Rat models of myocardial infarction were established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery. Poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch was implanted into the normal and infarcted myocardium for 5 weeks. The survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was determined by the detection of pathology.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Results of light microscope and electron microscope demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells grew three-dimensional y on poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer patch. cells and patch were adhesive wel . Under laser confocal microscopy, compared with the first week, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were marked by DAPI in the myocardium at the fifth week. There were bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells marked by DAPI in the infracted area. Results of hematoxylin-eosin staining exhibited that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were detected in the infarct area. These results suggested that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to the poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer stent wel . The complexes of poly(glycolic acid)/poly(e-caprolactone) copolymer and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be used for reparation of myocardium.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect ofpinacidil hyperpolarizaed arrest on p38 mitogen-activited protein kinase (p38MAPK) during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in isolated rat hearts.MethodsFortyeight male SD rats weighting 250-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups( n =8 each): natural arrest group (group A) ; St.Thomas group (group B) ; pinacidil hyperpolarization arrest group (group C) ;5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) group (group D);HMR-1098 group(group E) and 5-HD + HMR-1098 group(group F).Langendorff reperfusion model was established and K-H solution was retrogradely perfused for 15 min.In group A the hearts were arrested naturally afar perfusion was stopped; in group B St.Thomas solution was perfused; in group C pinacidil hyperpolarization solution was perfused; in the other three groups,K-H solution was perfused to isolated rat hearts for 10 min followed by 5 min 5-HD (group D) or HMR-1098(group E) or 5-HD and HMR-1098(group F) perfusion,then hyperpolarization arrest solution was given in each group.Each hearts suffered 60 min ischemia after arrest followed by 30 min K-H solution reperfusion.Coronary flow(CF),HR,left ventricular developed pressure( LVDP),left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP) and the maximum rate of pressure rise (dp/dtmax) were measured at the end of 15 min K-H solution perfusion and at 20 min of reperfusion.Myocardial phosphatic and nonphosphatic p38MAPK expression was determined by Western blot at 30 min of reperfusion.ResultsCompared with group C,CF,HR,LVDP,LVSP and dp/dtmax were significantly decreased at 20 min of reperfusion and phosphatic p38MAPK expression was down-regulated,non-phosphatic p38MAPK expression was up-regulated at 30 min of reperfusion in groups A,B,D,E and F (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group E,CF,HR,LVDP,LVSP and dp/ dtmax were significantly decreased at 20 min of reperfusion and phosphatic p38MAPK expression was down-regulated,non-phosphatic p38MAPK expression was up-regulated at 30 min of reperfusion in groups D and F ( P ＜0.05).ConclusionHyperpolarized arrest induced by pinacidil can improve cardiac function following myocardial I/R injury by up-regulating phosphatic p38MAPK expression,down-regulating non-phosphatic p38 MAPK expression and mitochondrial potassium channel is more important than membranous one during the regulation of phosphatic p38MAPK expression.

Objective To evaluate if 18F-FLT PET imaging could be used as a new clinical method to predict tumor radiosensitivity.Methods MDA-MB-231 and LN229 cells were irradiated with doses of 0,8 and 16 Gy of 6 MV photon energy,then soft agar assay and cellular uptake of 18F-FLT were performed on the 2 cell lines.The t test and one-way analysis of variance were used for the two groups and data before and after irradiation.The MDA-MB-231 and LN229 tumor xenografts were prepared by injecting the tumor cells into the right limbs of female BALB/c nu/nu mice.Once tumors reached a diameter of 10 mm,the two types of mice were divided randomly into 3 groups (20 mice per group) according to the irradiation doses (0,8 and 16 Gy).After irradiation,18F-FLT PET imaging and immunohistochemical staining were conducted.Then correlations between 18F-FLT SUVtumor/SUVmuscle ratio (T/M ratio) and TK1 labeling index percentages (LITK1) were tested using linear correlation analysis.Results The survival fraction of MDA-MB-231 and LN229 cells after irradiated with 8 Gy were (59.73 ± 4.3) ％ and (93.41 ± 3.75) ％,respectively (t =-13.20,P ＜ 0.001).When the dose increased to 16 Gy,the survival fraction decreased to (43.57 ±4.06) ％ and (81.77 ± 4.42) ％,respectively(t =-14.24,P ＜ 0.001).In MDA-MB-231 cells,the cellular uptake of 18F-FLT after irradiation with 8 Gy declined rapidly to (18.32 ± 1.38) kBq/105 cells ((128.22 ± 8.24) kBq/105 cells with the dose of 0 Gy,F =266.41,P ＜ 0.01),and maintained this low level till 72 h.For the LN229 cells,the cellular uptake decreased to (9.87 ± 1.30) kBq/105 cells after 8 Gy irradiation ((134.88 ± 6.59) kBq/105 cells with the dose of 0 Gy,F =346.06,P ＜ 0.01),then increased gradually to (127.17 ± 9.08) kBq/105 cells at 72 h (F =346.06,P ＞ 0.05).The dynamic changes of 18F-FLT cellular uptake in the two cells had the same pattern after being treated with 16 Gy irradiation.In the 18F-FLT PET image of MDA-MB-231 tumor mice after 8 Gy radiotherapy,the T/M ratio decreased to 0.78 ± 0.39 at the first day,but it was 2.84 ± 0.29 before radiotherapy (F =39.78,P ＜0.01).Then the ratio increased slowly,and it was still lower than the baseline at 7 d after radiation (F =39.78,P ＜0.01).The same pattern could be seen in the group of 16 Gy irradiation.In LN229 tumor mice treatment with 8 Gy irradiation,the T/M ratio increased to 2.41 ±0.47 at the first day,and it was 1.58 ±0.29 before radiotherapy (F =34.01,P ＜ 0.05).The ratio decreased steadily to 0.66 ± 0.32 (F =34.01,P＜0.05) at 7 d after radiotherapy.However,in the treatment group with 16 Gy,the T/M ratio decreased gradually and reached 0.44 ± 0.22 at 7 d (F =41.85,P ＜ 0.01).A correlation was found between 18F-FLT T/M ratio and LITK1 (8 Gy:r=0.67,0.73; 16 Gy:r=0.73,0.69; all P＜0.01) in both tumor models.Conclusion 18F-FLT PET imaging may be used as a new assay to predict tumor radiosensitivity,but further investigation is needed before clinical application.
