Objective To study and monitor the situation of femomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) in RhD-negative pregnant women in Tianjin, obtain the FMH data of such population, and analyze the relationship between FMH and age, blood type, gestational age, hemolytic disease of postpartum neonates, etc. Methods The FMH level was detected by flow cytometry with FITC-anti-HbF monoclonal antibody. The blood type was detected by blood serum method. The irregular antibody was identified by saline method and indirect anti-human ball method. The hemolysis of postpartum neonates was detected by three tests of hemolysis. Results The FMH volume of 86 RhD negative pregnant women was between 0 and 11.48 ml, with an average of 1.82 ml. There were 63.95%of pregnant women showed a volume of FMH<2.0 ml, 23.26%between 2 and 4 ml, 11.63%between 4.0 and 10.0 ml, and 1.16%>10 ml. The proportion of lower FMH in pregnant women≤30 years old was>11.71%higher than that in the pregnant women>30 years old, but the difference was no statistical significant. There was no significant difference in FMH of pregnant women with O, A, B and AB types. The proportion of higher FMH in pregnant women with compatible ABO blood type with her husband was 12.46% lower than that of the heterozygous cases, but the difference was no statistical significant. The proportion of higher FMH in the pregnant women with 28 to 32 weeks gestational age was 14.55% higher than that of ≤28 weeks and was 35.32% higher than that of >32 weeks, and the differences were statistical significant. Three samples in the 86 samples were positive for anti-D antibody, and their three hemolytic test results were strongly positive with the anti-D titer from 1:2 to 1:32 and the FMH volume from 1.50 to 6.93 ml. The proportion of lower FMH in the 10 pregnant women without postpartum hemolysis was 70% higher than that in 5 pregnant women with postpartum hemolysis, but the differences were not statistical significant. Conclusions The results suggest that monitoring FMH content by flow cytometry can reflect FMH in Rh-negative pregnant women. The studies on the relationship between FMH and age, blood type, pregnant time and hemolytic disease of postpartum neonates can provide basically experimental data for standard use of anti-D immunoglobulin in pregnant women.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive breast cancer is prone to metastasis and has a poor prognosis. In the context of the booming development of anti-HER2 targeted therapy, HER2-positive breast cancer has reduced recurrence and metastasis and improved prognosis. However, there are still some HER2-positive breast cancer patients who cannot benefit from anti-HER2-targeted therapy and continue to develop recurrent metastasis. Neoadjuvant therapy, surgical treatment, and the full range of adjuvant and palliative therapies enable HER2-positive breast cancer to benefit from them. Scholars from home and abroad have explored the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and have achieved some results. In this article, we review the current status and development of HER2-positive breast cancer treatment.

Prostate cancer is currently one of the most common malignancies that endanger the lives and health of elderly men. In recent years, immunotherapy, which exploits the activation of anti-cancer host immune cells to accomplish tumor-killing effects, has emerged as a new study avenue in the treatment of prostate cancer. As an important component of immunotherapy, cancer vaccines have a unique position in the precision treatment of malignant tumors. Monocyte cell vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, viral vaccines, peptide vaccines, and DNA/mRNA vaccines are the most often used prostate cancer vaccines. Among them, Sipuleucel-T, as a monocyte cell-based cancer vaccine, is the only FDA-approved therapeutic vaccine for prostate cancer, and has a unique position and role in advancing the development of immunotherapy for prostate cancer. However, due to its own limitations, Sipuleucel-T has not been widely adopted. Meanwhile, owing to the complexity of immunotherapy and the specificity of prostate cancer, the remaining prostate cancer vaccines have not shown good clinical benefit in large randomized phase II and phase III trials, and further in-depth studies are still needed.

ObjectiveTo explore the activation of motor cortex and brain lateralization of healthy male subjects during mirror visual feedback (MVF) of dominant and non-dominant hands. MethodsFrom March to September, 2021, 17 right-handed male subjects were recruited in Shenyang Sport University. The eegoTMmylab electroencephalography (EEG) system was applied to acquire the EEG and surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of digital extensor muscle during MVF. The subjects were completed unilateral finger stretching exercise, including left/right hand MVF and left/right hand visual feedback (VF). Each paradigm was repeated 80 trials, and the four paradigms were divided into two experiments, with one week between each experiment. The time-domain characteristics of sEMG signals and the time-frequency characteristics of α-band (8 to 13 Hz) and β-band (13 to 20 Hz) EEG signals which were closely related to motion were analyzed. Activation and asymmetry of motor cortex during MVF in dominant and nondominant hands were measured with event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) and asymmetric index (AI). ResultsWhen the relaxed hand was right hand, the sEMG amplitude of digital extensor muscle were more in MVF and VF than in resting state (P < 0.05). In α bands, the main effect of training state on ERD/ERS was significant (F = 14.125, ηp2

Objective Aiming at the clinical problem of the low matching degree with the patient’s anatomical morphology for traditional cervical fusion cage, a cervical fusion cage with the function of adjustable height and the shape matched with the vertebral body was established, and its biomechanical properties were evaluated. Methods A cervical C4-5 segment fusion model was established according to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), so as to simulate different motion conditions, i.e. anterior flexion, posterior extension, left/right lateral flexion, left/right rotation, and stress of the fusion cage and vertebral endplate was calculated. After three-dimensional (3D) printing of the fusion cage, an in vitro mechanical experiment was conducted to explore safety and stability of the fusion cage. ResultsThe fusion cage could keep the range of motion (ROM) of cervical vertebrae at the fusion segment with 1°-2.8° and reduce the ROM to 40%-80% of the natural segment. In the in vitro compression test, the yield load of the fusion cage was (2 721.67±209) N, which met the maximum demand of the physiological load in service state. Conclusions The designed fusion device with adjustable height shows better biomechanical properties and can reduce the selection step in operation.

Objective:To observe the effect of Nodal on the biological behavior of retinal vascular endothelial cells (RF/6A cells) in monkeys with high glucose.Methods:RF/6A cells were divided into normal group, mannitol group, high glucose group, high glucose combined with non-specific small interfering RNA treatment group (HG+NC group), high glucose combined with small interfering Nodal treatment group (HG+siNodal group). The transfection efficiency of siNodal was observed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot protein immunoblotting. The effect of Nodal on the proliferation of RF/6A cells was detected by thiazole blue colorimetry. The effect of Nodal on migration ability of RF/6A cells was detected by cell scratch assay. The effect of Nodal on the formation of RF/6A cell lumen was measured by Matrigel three-dimensional in vitro. The expression of extracellular signal phosphorylated regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) in RF/6A cells was detected by western blot protein immunoblotting. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare groups.Results:Compared with HG+NC group, Nodal protein ( F=33.469) and mRNA relative expression levels ( F=38.191) in HG+siNodal group were significantly decreased, cell proliferation was significantly decreased ( F=28.548), and cell migration ability was significantly decreased ( F=24.182). The number of cell lumen formation was significantly decreased ( F=52.643), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with HG+NC group, the relative expression of pERK1/2 protein in HG+siNodal group was significantly decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=44.462, P<0.01). Conclusions:Silencing Nodal expression can inhibit proliferation, migration and tube formation of RF/6A cells induced by high glucose. It may act by inhibiting pERK1/2 expression.

OBJECTIVE:To overview the systematic review on the effectiveness of indomethacin in the prevention of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP),and to provide reliable evidence-based reference for the prevention of PEP. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,the Cochrane Library ,Embase,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang database and VIP,systematic review on indomethacin in the prevention of PEP were collected during the inception to Nov. 2020. The methodological quality ,report quality and evidence quality of the included studies were evaluated by AMSTAR 2 scale,PRISMA statement and GRADE method. The effectiveness of PEP prevention was described. RESULTS :Finally,23 systematic reviews were obtained ,including 12 in Chinese and 11 in English. Tweenty-two systematic reviews showed that compared with placebo , indomethacin could effectively reduce the incidence of PEP. Eight systematic reviews showed that indomethacin significantly reduced the incidence of moderate and severe PEP compared with placebo. Five systematic reviews showed that indomethacin could reduce the incidence of postoperative hyperamylasemia compared with placebo. Three systematic reviews showed that indomethacin also had a good preventive effect on people with high risk of PEP. PRISMA score of included systematic reviews ranged from 15 to 25. The quality evaluation of AMSTAR 2 methodology included in systematic reviews was low ,and the key items of complete report were 4,9,11 and 13. The GRADE evidence quality evaluation of the included systematic reviews showed that the quality of the evidence was concentrated in the low level. CONCLUSIONS :Indomethacin has a certain effect in the prevention of PEP ,but the overall evidence quality of the included literatures is generally not high. It needs to be further validated by high-quality clinical research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current situation of rehabilitation therapists' work, and analyze the factors related to their career development and transformation. MethodsFrom September, 2022 to January, 2023, 153 rehabilitation therapists in Weifang were investigated with a cross-sectional questionnaire, using general questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale for Grassroots Health Technicians, Social Responsibility Scale, Job Role and Identity Inventory, and Employee Turnover Scale. ResultsThe majority of rehabilitation therapists interviewed were male (52.28%), under 35 years old (88.24%), with a bachelor's degree (77.78%), income less than 5 000 yuan a month (46.40%), and less than five years of service (48.36%). The work time was (7.78±0.84) hours a day, (5.39±0.51) days a week. The favorable rate of the physical environment of work was 67.32%, and the favorable rate of the interpersonal relationship environment of work was 80.39%. The score of professional identity was (3.61±0.84), the score of job satisfaction was (3.62±0.97), the score of social responsibility was (3.53±0.79), and the score of turnover was (2.39±1.10). Education level, job satisfaction, and social responsibility were the main factors related to the employee turnover (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe overall educational level of rehabilitation therapists is relatively low, and the human resource structure needs to be optimized. There is a significant difference between academic education and continuing education, and career development needs to be improved. The main factors related to career development and transformation are education level, job satisfaction, and social responsibility.
