Objective To investigate the influence of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the adhesive and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells based on the expression of adhesive and invasive molecules. Methods With an artificial CO2 pneumoperitoneum model in vitro, human gastric cancer cells MKN-45, SGC-7901 and MKN-28 were exposed to 3 different CO2 gradients: 9 mm Hg, 15 mm Hg and control group (0 mm Hg). The expression of E-cadherin, ICAM-1, MMP-2 and VEGF-A were measured at 2 and 4 hours exposure by using RT-PCR, CytoMatrixTM kit and ECMatrixTM kit. The pretreated gastric cancer cells were injected into abdominal cavity of nude mice(2×106 cells per mouse). Five mice in each group were sacrificed 4 weeks later to record the number of tumor nodules in abdominal cavity. The remaining mice were kept for observation of survival time. Results The expression of E-cadherin (MKN-45: from 2.26 to 2.19, SGC-7901 :from 2.16 to 2.09、MKN-28 :from 2.06 to 1.99), ICAM-1 (MKN-45 : from 2.20 to 2.28、SGC-7901: from 2.10 to 2.18、MKN-28: from 2.00 to 2.08), MMP-2 (MKN-45:from 2.05 to 2.13、SGC-7901: from 1.95 to 2.03、MKN-28: from 1.85 to 1.93) and VEGF-A(MKN-45 : from 2.10 to 2.16、SGC-7901 :from 2.00 to 2.06、MKN-28: from 1.90 to 1.96) didn't change significantly with increasing pressure and time (P>0.05). The expression of adhesive and invasive molecules didn't change significantly between the experimental groups and the control group. There was no statistical significance of tumor metastasis in abdominal cavity of nude mice(MKN-45:from 22 to 23、SGC-7901 :from 20 to 22、MKN-28:from 21 to 22) and survival time(MKN-45 :from 23 to 21、SGC-7901 :from 22 to 21、MKN-28 :from 22 to 21) among all the groups. Conclusion Under low pressure and short time of CO2 exposure, the adhesive and invasive capacity of gastric cancer cells did not change significantly hence did not increase the possibility of neoplasm metastasis.

Abstract: Objective To explore the dynamic characteristics of stigmatization in HIV/AIDS patients and provide scientific evidence for psychological care. Methods HIV/AIDS patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment in Nanning Fourth People's Hospital were randomly selected for baseline and 1 year follow-up questionnaire survey including internalized HIV stigma, anticipated HIV stigma, exposure to HIV stigma. The differences between the two groups at different time points were dynamically compared to analyze the changing characteristics of stigma in HIV/AIDS patients. Results After one year of ART treatment, among the eight items of internalizing stigma, five items including the proportion of feeling ashamed of being infected with HIV/AIDS, feeling unclean because of being infected with HIV/AIDS, feeling inferior to others because of having HIV/AIDS, feeling guilty because of having HIV/AIDS, and having a poorer self-perception due to how others view HIV/AIDS decreased significantly from 34.0% to 43.5% at the baseline to 19.5% to 29.5%, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=18.586, 14.277, 10.473, 12.219, 9.934, P<0.05); among the nine items of anticipated stigma, four items including the proportion of community/community workers not taking my needs seriously, discriminating against me, refusing to provide services for me, and healthcare workers avoiding contact with me decreased significantly from 16.0% to 27.5% at the baseline to 7.0% to 15.5%, respectively, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=13.690, 15.787, 12.034, 12.593, P<0.05); among the 16 items of exposure to HIV stigma, six items including the proportion of experiencing physical attacks, psychological pressure from spouses/partners, being refused sexual relationships, losing jobs or other economic sources, being rejected or losing a job opportunity due to HIV/AIDS, changing job nature due to HIV/AIDS, or being refused medical services decreased significantly from 2.5% to 15.0% at the baseline to 1.0% to 8.0%, respectively, showing significant improvement with statistical significance (χ2=8.619, 15.558, 6.061, 9.049, 5.432, 8.156, P<0.05). Physical assaults on people with HIV/AIDS increased by 5.5 percent(χ2=5.368, P<0.05). Conclusions Through 1-year dynamic monitoring, 48.48% of the three dimensions of stigma of HIV/AIDS patients were alleviated. Treatment intervention, self-acceptance and the creation of a good non-discriminatory social environment have an important impact on the stigma of HIV/AIDS patients and deserve the attention of society as a whole.

Objective To evaluate the safety, efficiency and feasibility of HLA-identical sibling using culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells in treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Also to investigate for valid preventive measures to avoid the infection of HBV originated from donor. Methods A 46-years-old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome-refractory anemia (MDSRA) got a cotransplantation of culture-expanded mensenchymal stem cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from HLA-identical sibling donor (his sister) who was infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV). Some measures were applicated in order to avoid the recipient from getting a HBV infection. The antiviral therapy to the donor was began early at the time 1 month before transplant, and HBV vaccine inoculation was used 2 month before transplant. High titer of anti-hepatis B immunoglobulin was used 1 week before transplant and 1 month after transplant the use of prophylactic anti-hepatis B drug treatment was begun. A non-myeloablative preparative regimen included fludarabine monophosphate (Flu, 120 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (Cy, 1200 mg/m2)and antithymocyte globulin (ATG, 15 mg/kg) was given to him before culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cell and allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell from his HLA-matched sister. Results The regimen was well tolerated, and hemopoiesis was reconstituted on day 10 after transplant, idiochromosome detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization on day 30 showed XY 47/300 and on day 90 it was 7/300. No evidence of HBV infection was detected on day 60 after transplant. Conclusion The clinical course of this patient indicate that HLA-identical sibling culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cell transplantation combined with non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation can be an effective and safe approach in treatment of MDS.

Massive postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most severe complications of pregnant women during deliveries, especially, on the basis of a scarred uterus with placenta previa and placenta implantation, the risk of occurrence of massive hemorrhage after delivery will be obviously increased. The recombinant human coagulation factorⅦa (rFⅦa) can be used to significantly reduce the incidence of delutional coagulopathy and the necessary amount of blood products in patients after major abdominal surgery. One patient with massive postpartum hemorrhage resulted from scarred uterus with placenta previa and previa accreta was administered into Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital, whose hemorrhage was successfully stopped by using rFⅦa in case of surgical indication being excluded. It is suggested that rFⅦa can be regarded as an effective drug for postpartum hemorrhage on the basis of indication being strictly controlled.

The main purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag plus cyclosporine A (CsA) in transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia(TD-NSAA). The clinical characteristics of 13 TD-NSAA patients who received initial treatment of eltrombopag plus CsA from 2019 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The 3-month overall hematological response (OR) rate was 12/13. Until the end of follow-up, 12 patients responded, among whom 2 patients reached complete response (CR) and 9 patients reached partial response (PR) and 1 with HR. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) developed in one patient at 6 months after treatment. Five of thirteen patients reported mild adverse reactions, which were all manageable. Compared with historical data, the combination of eltrombopag with CsA is an effective regimen in patients with TD-NSAA.
