Objective To assess the evolution of gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED). Methods We reviewed the history of 239 of patients with gastric dysplasia diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy, and 195 were followed up for 61. 37 months. Results Among 239 cases of dysplasia (261 lesions) , there were 119, with mild dysplasia, 77 with moderate dysplasia, and 43 with severe dysplasia. The gastric dysplasia lesions are mainly in lesser curvature, and its endoscopic appearance mostly is localized erosion. In the follow - up group, regression of dysplasia was demonstrated in 86. 36% , 81. 25% , and 47. 62% of mild, moderate and severe dysplasia respectively. Progression to gastric cancer was detected in 8. 18% , 15. 63% , and 72. 09% of mild, moderate, and severe dysplasia, respectively. The relative risk (RR) of mild, moderate, severe dysplasia was 1. 96, 3. 74, and 17. 25 respectively. Conclusion Carcinomatous evolution of GED increases proportionally with its histological grade. Gastroscopy biopsy follow-up should be held up for all grades of GED, especially, in high grade GED, gastroscopy and biopsy should be taken as soon as possible.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of hypopara thyroidism-deafness-renal dysplasia(HDR) syndrome in children.Methods According to the symptoms,signs,laboratory examination and the previous published papers of other authors,the disease of the child was diagnosed and treated,and some related literatures were reviewed.Results The 12-years-old boy presented with tetany and deafness and Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs were positive.The initial laboratory studies showed that the serum concentration of calcium was lower,parathormone was in the low limit of normal range and alkalin phosphatase was normal.An audiography revealed the pattern of sensorineural deafness in all frequencies.Abdominal CT revealed that his right kidney was not observed and creatinine clearance rate was low.After treated with calcium carbonate and vitamin D,the symptoms and the signs were improved.Conclusion HDR syndrome is a rare disorder and less recognized in children,and therefore more attention should be paid to avoid missing diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the optimal time for capsule endoscopy in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) .Methods Data of 76 patients with OGIB underwent capsule endoscopy from January 2013 to December 2014 were retro‐spectively analyzed .They were classified into two groups :emergency capsule endoscopy and non‐emergency capsule endoscopy .The demographic and clinical features and outcomes of capsule endoscopy ,complications and the times of hospital stays and hospitaliza‐tion expenses were compared .Results The overall diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy was 48 lesions(63 .15% ) .The overall di‐agnostic yield of emergency capsule endoscopy group was 73 .68% (28/38) ,which was significantly higher than that in non‐emer‐gency capsule endoscopy group(52 .63% ,20/38) ,with statistical difference (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Emergency capsule endoscopy have a higher rate of detection ,patients with OGIB should receive capsule endoscopy as soon as possible .

Objective To examine the association of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) and interleukin 18(IL-18) with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods Thirty-three patients undergone cardiac surgery were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the AKI criteria. The Scr, urinary NGAL and IL-18 were measured at different time points. Results Nine of 33 patients (27.27%)developed postoperative AKI, and Scr concentration in AKI group reached its peak within 12-48 hours after cardiac surgery. Urinary concentrations of NGAL and IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery were significantly higher than those before operation in AKI patients (P<0.01). The urinary concentrations of NGAL at each time point and that of IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery in AKI patients were significantly higher than those in non-AKI patients. After correction by urinary creatinine, the differences of NGAL/Ucr and IL-18/Ucr ratios were still significant (P< 0.01). For concentrations of urinary NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after surgery, sensitivities and specificities were good with cutoff values at 250 μg/L, 250 μg/mmol and 1800 ng/L, 1800 ng/mmol, respectively. Urinary concentration of NGAL at 2 h after cardiac surgery was positively correlated with Scr at 12 h postoperation in AKI group (r=0.638, P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of AKI in patients after cardiac surgery is quite high. Urinary concentrations of NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after cardiac surgery are the early diagnostic markers for AKI, among which urinary NGAL/Ucr is the most sensitive one.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of 3D printing technology in percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL) to complex renal calculi.Methods:The clinical data of 41 patients with complex renal calculi from May 2018 to October 2019, in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University and Xiang'an District of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 19 cases underwent PCNL after 3D printing (3D printing group), and 22 cases during the same period did not undergo 3D printing before operation (control group). Before operation, the two groups underwent CT plain scan enhanced examination. In 3D printing group, 3D printing technology was used to obtain 3D renal models, then 3D renal models were used for preoperative design and simulation of surgical puncture and preoperative conversation.The control group only underwent PCNL after routine examination.The ages of the patients in 3D printing group and control group were (42.9±2.5) vs. (41.3±2.9) years old, male/female ratio 11/8 vs. 12/10, body mass index (22.4±1.1) vs. (23.2±1.4) kg/m 2, serum creatinine (42.9±2.5) vs. (78.2±4.5) μmol/L, stone size (5.0±1.2) vs. (5.2±1.3) cm, the CT values of the stones was (930±210) vs.(950±200) HU. The difference of above parameters was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The following indexes were compared between the two groups: score of questionnaire on satisfaction of preoperative conversation, and datas about operation and postopetation. Results:All the operations were successfully completed. The time of locating the target calyces in 3D printing group and control group was (3.3±1.3) vs. (5.3±3.1) min, and the coincidence of puncture calices was 94.7% (18/19) vs. 54.5%(12/22), and the stone removal rate of the 3D printing group was 78.9% (17/19) vs. 36.4% (8/22), 3D printing group was better than the control group in these respects( P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications [21.0% (4/19) vs. 13.6% (3/22)], multi-channel[89.4% (17/19) vs. 86.4% (19/22)], operation time [(121.8±20.2) vs. (132.1±18.5) min], time of hospitalization [(7.6±1.3) vs. (8.0±1.8)d] and time of extubation for renal fistula [(3.8±1.7)vs. (4.5±2.0 )d] (all P > 0.05). During preoperative conversation between the 3D printing group and the control group , the time spent on signing the consent [(17.0±3.9) vs.(21.0±3.3) min], the degree of understanding of the stone condition [(2.5±0.6)vs.(2.0±1.2) points], the degree of understanding of the PCNL surgical process and complications [(2.6±0.6) vs.(1.8±1.3) points] and the degree of satisfaction with the doctor’s preoperative conversation effects [(2.4±0.9) vs.(1.7±1.6) points]were significantly different in comparisons ( P<0.05). Conclusions:3D printing technology can be used in PCNL to directly display the internal anatomical relationship of renal calculi, guide accurate preoperative designing, help improve the operation efficiency and stone clearance rate, and can also be used as a mold in preoperative conversation to improve communication efficiency.

Hypoxia is a general characteristic of most solid malignancies and intimately related to cancer progression. Homeostatic response to hypoxia is primarily mediated by hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) that elicits transcriptional activity through recruitment P300 coactivator. Targeting the interaction of HIF- alpha and P300 would thus constitute a novel approach for cancer treatment by suppressing tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Here, a screening assay was developed for inhibitors targeting the interaction between HIF-1alpha and P300. The nucleotide sequence of human HIF-1alpha and P300 were cloned into pBIND and pACT vectors, named pBIND-HIF1alpha and pACT-P300. The interaction of HIF-1alpha and P300 was identified in HEK293 cell using mammalian two-hybrid system. And compound chetomin decreased their interaction in this mammalian two-hybrid system. We further verified HIF-1 inhibition effect of chetomin in U251-HRE cells. Therefore, we established a screening assay combined HIF-1alpha and P300 mammalian two-hybrid system and U251-HRE reporter assay for HIF-1 selective inhibitors.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic efficacy and safety of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) combined Wenshen Xiaozheng Decoction (WXD) in auxiliary treating endometriosis after laparoscopy.

METHODSOne hundred and thirty-four endometriosis patients with confirmative pathological diagnosis were assigned to three groups depending on whether they would receive adjuvant therapy or Chinese medicine treatment, i.e., the control group, the observation 1 group, and the observation 2 group. The 22 patients in the control group received no adjuvant therapy after laparoscopy. The 42 patients in the observation 1 group were treated with GnRHa 3.6 mg by subcutaneous injection starting from the 1st day to the 5th day of menstruation, once per 28 days. The 70 patients in the observation 2 group were treated with GnRHa 3.6 mg by subcutaneous injection in combination with WXD starting from the 1st day to the 5th day of menstruation, once per 28 days. They also took WXD for 7 doses, one cycle per every 28 days. The treatment lasted for three to six months. Serum levels of estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and cancer antigen 125 (CA125), as well as clinical efficacy, and adverse drug reactions were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTSThere was statistical difference in serum levels of E2, FSH, or LH between the control group and the observation 1 and 2 groups (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in serum levels of E2, FSH, or LH between the observation 1 group and the observation 2 group (P > 0.05). There was statistical difference in the clinical efficiency among the 3 groups (P < 0.05). There was statistical difference in the pre-post difference of CA125 levels among the three groups (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, there was no statistical difference in the pre-post difference of CA125 levels between the observation 1 group and the observation 2 group (P > 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred during the treatment.

CONCLUSIONSGnRHa combined WXD showed confirmative clinical efficacy in treating endometriosis after laparoscopy. It also could lower serum levels of E2, FSH, and LH levels. So it was an ideal solution for treatment of endometriosis.

AIM: To investigate the alterations of tear film after sutureless large incision manual cataract extraction (SLIMCE). METHODS: Sixty-eight SLIMCE operation eyes were studied with slit-limp microscope, break- up time (BUT), SchirmmerⅠtest (SⅠt),and fluorescence(FL) to observe the alterations of tear film at different time points in postoperation. Impression cytology and microphoto-analyses technique were also applied to observe the goblet cells at different time points postoperation(7,14,30,60,90 days). RESULTS: Subjective complaint of dry eye within 90 days after the operations were significantly increased compare with preoperations(5-27,23,19,16,13; 2-16,14,8,6,3). The schirmmer Ⅰ test were greatly increased in 14 days postoperation(10.1±4.5;15.0±4.7,13.8±5.7),the mean scores of fluorescence increased (0-17,9,5;0-8,3,1) and the mean break-up time decreased in 30 days post-operation(10.3±2.2;5.5±2.3,7.0±2.4,7.9±2.2) (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SLIMCE operation have effect on the stability of tear film.
