Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells therapy plays an important role in cancer adjuvant treatment.Researches show that the number of peripheral blood immunocytes will change if patients with cancer accept the treatment of CIK cells.The changes of T cell subsets,regulatory T cells are relatively obvious,which may be one of the standards that can evaluate the curative effect of CIK cells.

The clinical data of a child with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) and being diagnosed and treated in the Department of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.The male patient was 13 years old.The clinical manifestation was the change of body position, and the temporary movement cannot appear.The manifestations included the turning of head to one side, the falling back of neck, head shaking, swinging, the tightly hugging of hands in front of the chest, the touching of two tiptoes to the ground, numb sole, and ache.Gene detection: chromosome 16p11.2 (chr16: 29594293-30189789) had about 595.5 kb heterozygosity deletion.A total of 8 cases of 16p11.2 microdeletion in children with PKD were reported in details.16p11.2 microdeletion is another form of gene expression that causes PKD.16p11.2 microdeletion should be screened for genetic evaluation in patients with PKD.

Objective:To explore the value of synthetic MRI in quantitative monitoring of knee joint structural and cartilage changes of amateur marathon runners before and after the whole marathon.Methods:Totally 26 amateur marathon enthusiasts from Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province were recruited from October 2019 to January 2020. The right knee joints were scanned 1 week before the race and within 48 h after the race. The scanning sequence included the three-dimensional proton density weighted image with isotropic (3D-CUBE-PD) sequence and synthetic MRI sequence. The conventional contrast weighted images T 1WI, T 2WI, proton density (PD) weighted imaging, short-T 1 inversion recovery (STIR) and T 1, T 2, PD mapping were obtained by the latter scans. The 3D-CUBE-PD sequence was used as a reference to evaluate the detection of knee joint lesions. The knee articular cartilage was divided into 8 subregions: central medial femoral condyle (CMFC), posterior medial femoral condyle (PMFC), central lateral femoral condyle (CLFC), posterior lateral femoral condyle (PLFC), medial tibia plateau (MTP), lateral tibia plateau (LTP), patella and trochlear. Based on the synthetic MRI quantitative mapping, the T 1, T 2 and PD values of each cartilage subregion were measured independently by 2 radiologists. The ICC was used to evaluate the consistency of the measurement between observers. The T 1, T 2 and PD values of knee cartilage before and after marathon exercise were compared by Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results:The 2 radiologists had good consistency in the measurement of T 1, T 2 and PD values of knee articular cartilage with the ICC values of 0.912, 0.933 and 0.954, respectively. The synthetic MRI quantitative mapping sequence can detect all cartilage damage ( n=3) and joint effusion ( n=15), and 7 of 9 meniscus injuries were detected. The T 1, T 2 and PD values of the knee cartilage as a whole before the race were higher than those after race, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The T 1 values were statistically significant except patellar cartilage and trochlear cartilage, and T 2 values were significantly different in the CMFC, LTP, MTP ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Synthetic MRI has a good display of knee joint structural lesions, and its quantitative parameters T 1, T 2 and PD can detect the changes of knee cartilage before and after marathon.

Objective To discuss the necessity of closing the peritoneum during the operation of ileal conduit after the radical cystectomy.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 395 patients with bladder cancer who received radical cystectomy from Jan.2014 to Sep.2016.The amount of male was 327,female was 68.The mean age was (65.8 ± 9.7) years old.Patients were divided into four groups according to the surgical method of cystectomy and urinary diversion.In group A,patients,including 78 males and 9 females,were received open radical cysectomy (ORC) with extraperitoneal ileal conduit.The mean age was (67.8 ± 9.2) years old.In the preoperative clinical staging,66 cases were less than T2 and 21 cases were more than T2.Preoperative pathological grade in 83 cases and low grade in 4 cases.In group B,patients,including 31 males and 2 females,were accepted ORC with ileal conduit without peritoneum closure.The mean age was (67.3 ± 8.7) years old.Preoperative clinical staging showed less than T2 in 25 cases,more than T2 in 8 cases,The preoperative pathological grade showed high grade in 33 cases.In group C,patients,including 112 males and 27 females,were accpeted LRC with ileal conduit without peritoneum closure.The mean age was (64.3 ± 10.5)years old.The preoperative clinical staging showed less than T2 in 107 cases and more than T2 in 32 cases.The preoperative pathological grade showed high grade in 135 cases and low grade in 4 cases.In group D,patients,including 106 males and 30 females,were accepted RARC with ileal conduit without peritoneum closure.The mean age was (65.9 ±10.0)years old.Preoperative clinical staging showed less than T2 in 103 cases and more than T2 in 33 cases.The preoperative pathological grade showed high grade in 132 cases and low grade in 4 cases.Ileal conduit without peritoneum closure means completely open the peritoneum after anastomosis of the ureter and intestine in the urinary diversion surgery without shutting down the peritoneum,which is different from the extraperitoneal ileal conduit.The operating time,blood loss,blood transfusion rate,recovery time of intestinal function and perioperative complications and rate of hydronephrosis were analyzed.Results The 395 cases completed operation successfully,no LRC or RARC had been converted to ORC.The operative time was (280.1 ± 92.3) min,(233.6 ± 99.4) min,(304.8 ± 108.9) min,(364.6 ± 86.4) min in four groups,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The blood loss in four groups were (489.1 ± 285.6) ml,(431.8 ± 233.1) ml,(373.0 ±213.7) ml,(205.6 ± 137.8) ml,respectively (P ＜0.05).The transfusion rate in four groups were 18 (20.7％),16 (48.0％),15 (10.8％),14 (10.3％),respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The mean time to flatus in four groups were (3.7 ±1.8)d,(3.6±1.0)d,(3.5±1.2)d,(2.2±1.7)d,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).While ileal obstruction rate had no statistical difference in four groups [group A 17 cases(19.5％),group B 6 cases(18.2％),group C 27 cases(19.4％),group D 19 cases(14.0％),P =0.678].Urine leakage,intestinal leakage,lymphocyst were only occurred in group A [7 cases (8.0％),2 cases (2.3％),2 cases (2.3％)].Pyelonephritis was noticed in each group,including 14 cases(16.1％)in group A,2 cases(6.1％)in group B,9 cases (6.5％)in group C,6 cases(4.4％)in group D (P ＜ 0.05).Hydronephrosis 6 months after surgery was observed in four groups,including 15 cases(17.2％)in group A,3 cases(9.1％)in group B,7 cases(5.0％)in group C,5 cases(3.7％)in group D (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ileal conduit without peritoneum closure would not increase the incidence of complications,on the contrary,it would relieve the tension of anastomosis,and reduce the occurrence of complications such as urine leakage.

Fetal programming refers to as the process that organ structures and related functions undergo programming at the embryo and fetus phase. Any stimulus and injuries during embryo and fetal development can lead to changes in multiple fetal organs. Among them, maternal obesity is an important factor. This work reviews the data from recent animal models and human regarding the effects of maternal obesity on fetal programming, with a particular focus on the mechanisms and reversal strategies.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture in the male patients.Methods Clinical data of 479 male patients with post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture were reviewed.One-stage resection of the stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis was performed in 422 patients and scrotal flap with blood pedicle posterior urethroplasty in 57.Results The mean operation time was 115 minutes(range,90-140 minutes).The mean blood loss was 225 ml(range,100-300 ml).No intraoperative blood transfusion was needed.The mean follow-up time was 15 months(range,12-24 months).Among the 422 patients performed end-to-end anastomosis,386 patients had good voiding and 36 had dysuria because of the formation of anastomotic stoma valve(21 patients)or stricture ring(15 patients).The problem was resolved by transurethral valve/stricture ring resection.Among 57 patients undergone posterior urethroplasty,45 patients had good voiding nine patients were found with anterior urethra-skin tube anastomotic stoma stricture,of which four patients were treated by urethral dilatation and five by endourethrotomy; three patients were found with posterior urethra-skin tube anastomotic stoma stricture,of which one patient was treated by urethral dilation and two by endourethrotomy.Conclusions One-stage resection of the stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis is the main treatment for post-traumatic complex posterior urethral stricture.If the condition of the patients does not allow the end-to-end anastomosis,posterior urethroplasty can be an alternative.

Recent studies have shown that tumor microenvironment (TME) is significantly different from normal tissues, such as the change of abnormal enzyme expression, hypoxia, pH and so on. TME is closely related to the induced proliferation of tumor cells, angiogenesis, immune escape and the production of multidrug resistance. Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main stromal cell types in the TME. A variety of cytokines secreted by CAFs play an important role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Understanding the role and mechanism of CAFs in the development of breast cancer is expected to provide a new target for improving the prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the level of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) in contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), as well as the potential role of H 2S against CIAKI by down-regulating NLRP3 inflammasome. Methods:Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 180-220 g, were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method: control group, CIAKI group (iopromide 2.9 g/kg) and CIAKI+NaHS group (NaHS 4 mg/kg for three days before 2.9 g/kg iopromide injection). Kidneys were collected for whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. HE and PAS staining were used for kidney histological examination. TUNEL assays were applied to detect renal tubular epithelial injury. Expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1) were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining. The role of H 2S in contrast (iopromide 200 mgI/kg)-induced injury on human renal tubular epithelium (HK-2 cells) was investigated, and CCK-8 assay was used to detect cellular viability. Results:Compared with the control group, the expression of endogenous H 2S synthetases-related genes [cystathionine β-synthase ( CBS), cystathionine-γ-lyase ( CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase ( 3- MST)] was lower in CIAKI group (all P<0.05). The gene expression levels of CBS, CSE and 3- MST were negatively correlated with renal function biomarkers serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and cystatin-C (all P<0.05). Compared with the CIAKI group, CIAKI+NaHS group showed alleviated creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and cystatin-C, improved histological changes, reduced apoptosis. Moreover, the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in CIAKI+NaHS group were lower than those in CIAKI group (all P<0.05). In HK-2 cells, compared with the contrast group, the cellular viability was higher in the contrast+NaHS group; reducing endogenous H 2S by CBS inhibitor could enhance contrast-induced cell viability ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Injury of endogenous H 2S system is pivotal to CIAKI pathogenesis. Up-regulation of H 2S ameliorates renal injury of CIAKI rats, which may be related to regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Objective:To investigate the application value of aortic dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS) combined with D-dimer (DD) in the early diagnosis of acute aortic dissection (AAD).Methods:The clinical data of 70 patients with suspected aortic dissection detection admitted to The Second Hospital of Jiaxing from August 2019 to April 2020 were collected. All patients were scored using the ADD-RS, and grouped according to the scoring results. The sensitivity and specificity of ADD-RS plus DD in the early diagnosis of AAD were calculated. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves that were plotted for drADD-RS plus DD versus DD alone to screen AAD were compared to evaluate efficacy. Results:CT angiography results showed that among 70 patients with suspected AAD, 29 patients had AAD and 41 patients had no AAD. A total of 21 patients were scored 0, 41 patients were scored > 1, and 8 patients were scored > 0. ADD-RS > 0 had an overall sensitivity of 79.31% and a specificity of 36.59% for AAD diagnosis. DD test results had an overall sensitivity of 86.20% and a specificity of 36.50% for AAD diagnosis. The area under the ROC curve of ADD-RS = 0 plus DD-negative result and the area under the ROC curve of DD-negative result alone in ruling out AAD were 0.885 with 95% CI (0.786-0.949) and 0.787 with 95% CI (0.673-0.876), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.024). Conclusion:Compared with DD-negative result alone, the ADD-RS = 0 plus DD-negative result strategy offers greater specificity to rule out AAD. The combined strategy has a greater efficacy in ruling out AAD. However, a multi-center study involving a large sample is required for in-depth evaluation.

Objective: To investigate the attention cognitive function and symptom correlations of school aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)using event related potential (ERP) technology, so as to provide references for the early diagnosis of children with ADHD. Methods: A total of 52 school aged children diagnosed with ADHD at the outpatient department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to September 2024 and 50 age /sex matched healthy controls were selected. The ERP experiment adopted the auditory Oddball task to conduct comparative analyses of the amplitude and latency of the mismatch negative(MMN) at the Fz, Cz, and Pz points of the scalp electrode and the P3a component respectively. The symptom assessment scales adopted the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham-Ⅳ Rating Scale (SNAP-Ⅳ) and the Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), which were filled out by the parents. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between ERP components and symptoms in schoolaged children with ADHD. Results: The latency of MMN components in the healthy control group on the Fz lead was (188.30±2.06)ms, and the amplitude was (-15.54±1.35)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (312.82±7.80)ms, and the amplitude was (3.80±0.18)μV. The latency of MMN components in the ADHD group on the Fz lead was (188.94±1.39)ms, and the amplitude was (-14.78±1.40)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (317.21±5.65)ms, and the amplitude was (3.70±0.13)μV. Compared with normal children, the MMN of children with ADHD had smaller amplitudes in the Fz and Cz leads, and the P3a had greater latency and smaller amplitudes in the Cz and Pz leads ( t =2.79,2.20；-2.04，-3.25；2.35,3.21， P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the latency of MMN in children with ADHD was positively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ( r =0.22), and the amplitude of MMN was negatively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the learning problem score in PSQ ( r = -0.26 , -0.34)( P <0.05). The latency of P3a was positively correlated with the scores of inattention in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the score of learning problems in the PSQ ( r =0.26 ,0.24); the amplitude of P3a was negatively correlated with the scores of attention deficit and hyperactivity/impulsivity in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the scores of learning problems and impulsivity/hyperactivity in the PSQ( r = -0.26 , -0.22, -0.25,-0.32)( P <0.05). Conclusions School aged ADHD children exhibit abnormal MMN/P3a components, indicating attention related cognitive dysfunction. Symptoms such as inattention, learning problems and hyperactivity/impulsivity in children with ADHD are related to abnormal components of MMN and P3a.
