Objective To explore the correlation between axon guidance factor Semaphorin 5A and clinicopathological features and its role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.Methods The expression of Semaphorin 5A in gastric cancer tissues of 171 patients with different gender,age,histological type and TNM stage was detected with immunohistochemistry assay.The expression of Semaphorin 5A was determined by Western blotting assay in gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and MKN-45 with metastatic ability and gastric cancer cell lines SNU-1 and AGS without metastatic ability.With RNA interfere technique(RNAi),Semaphorin 5A siRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into gastric cancer cell line SGC7901.The stable gastric cancer cell line down-expressing Semaphorin 5A was established.The effect of Semaphorin 5A gene silencing on the adhesion,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell was examined by cell adhesion test,wound healing test and transwell chamber assays.Results The expression level of Semaphorin 5A was correlated with the differentiation degree of gastric cancer(x2 =6.32,P =0.01),lymphnode metastasis(x2 =7.68,P=0.01)and distant metastasis of gastric cancer(x2 =13.67,P =0.00),not correlated with age(x2 =0.21,P=0.79),gender(x2=1.79,P=0.15)and the depth of gastric cancer invasion(x2=1.34,P=0.55).The expression of Semaphorin 5A in cell lines SGC7901 and MKN-45 was significantly higher than that of cell lines SNU-1 and AGS(P<0.01).Semaphorin 5A gene silencing significantly suppressed the adhesion,migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells.Conclusion Semaphorin 5A may play a catalytic role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer through increasing the adhesion,migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cell.

Objective:To explore the types of venous access, indwelling time and the correlation with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) of very and extremely low birth weight infants (VLBW & ELBW) in NICU.Methods:The self-designed venous access data collection form was used to collect the venous access data of VLBW & ELBW infants who were admitted to NICU of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January to December 2019. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis, description and binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 218 cases were collected, including 9 cases of peripheral intravenous (PIV), 30 cases of PIV+ umbilical vein catheter (UVC), 43 cases of PIV+PICC, 136 cases of PIV+UVC+PICC. The average indwelling time of UVC was 6 days, the average indwelling time of PICC was 22 days. There were 23 cases (10.55%) got CRBSI and 195 cases (89.45%) without CRBSI. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight ( OR=1.003, 95% CI 1.000-1.006, P<0.05) and combination form of venous access ( OR=0.139, 95% CI 0.023-0.834, P<0.05) of VLBW & ELBW infants were associated with CRBSI. Conclusions:In NICU, PIV, UVC and PICC are the three main ways to indwell venous access for VLBW & ELBW infants. The occurrence of CRBSI is closely related to the type and combination of indwelling venous access.

AIM: To compare the effect of small-incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)with different corneal cap thicknesses on postoperative astigmatism and short-term visual quality of patients with myopic astigmatism.METHODS: A total of 54 patients(108 eyes)with myopic astigmatism who underwent SMILE from June 2020 to June 2022 in our hospital were selected for the prospective controlled study, and patients were randomly assigned into two groups, with 27 cases(54 eyes)each. The corneal cap thickness design was 110 μm for the group A and 120 μm for the group B, while other operation parameters were consistent. Additionally, the uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), spherical equivalent(SE), stiffness parameter A1(SP-A1), visual quality and vector parameters at baseline, 1 d,1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared between two groups.RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in UCVA, SE, and SP-A1 between the two groups at various time points before and after surgery(all P<0.05), and UCVA in the group A was better than that in the group B at 1 d after surgery(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the results of astigmatism vector analysis between the two groups of patients(both P>0.05). The objective scattering index(OSI)of the group A was lower than that of the group B, while Strehl ratio(SR)of the group A was higher than that of the group B at 1 d after surgery(both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in modulation transfer function cutoff frequency(MTF cut off), contrast vision, visual symptoms and overall satisfaction, postoperative complications between the two groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: SMILE procedures with both 110 μm and 120 μm corneal cap thicknesses are safe and effective in correcting myopic astigmatism without affecting postoperative SE, astigmatism, SP-A1 or contrast visual acuity. Whereas 110 μm corneal cap thickness results in faster early postoperative visual recovery and better early visual quality than 120 μm.

Objective:To establish an intelligent registration algorithm under the framework of original-mirror alignment algorithm to construct three-dimensional (3D) facial midsagittal plane automatically. Dynamic Graph Registration Network (DGRNet) was established to realize the intelligent registration, in order to provide a reference for clinical digital design and analysis.Methods:Two hundred clinical patients without significant facial deformities were collected from October 2020 to October 2022 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The DGRNet consists of constructing the feature vectors of key points in point original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), obtaining the correspondence of key points, and calculating the rotation and translation by singular value decomposition. Original and mirror point clouds were registrated and united. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to obtain the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane. The model was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R 2) index for the translation and rotation matrix of test set. The angle error was evaluated on the 3D facial midsagittal plane constructed by the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and the iterative closet point (ICP) alignment midsagittal plane for 50 cases of clinical facial data. Results:The average angle error of the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and ICP alignment midsagittal plane was 1.05°±0.56°, and the minimum angle error was only 0.13°. The successful detection rate was 78% (39/50) within 1.50° and 90% (45/50) within 2.00°.Conclusions:This study proposes a new solution for the construction of 3D facial midsagittal plane based on the DGRNet alignment method with intelligent registration, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to some extent.
