Objective:To investigate the expression of stanniocalcin-2 (STC-2) and cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (C-met) in tumor tissues of cervical cancer patients and their clinical significance.Methods:A total of 110 cervical cancer patients were selected in Foshan First People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. Patients′ cancer tissue samples and normal tissue samples were collected during modified radical resection to determine and compare the expression levels of STC-2 mRNA and C-met mRNA in the two tissues, and to analyze the correlation between the expression levels of STC-2, C-met and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients as well as the multivariate analysis of tumor metastasis and recurrence in the patients. The correlation between the expression of STC-2 and C-met and the time of postoperative tumor metastasis and recurrence in cervical cancer patients were analyzed after 24 months of follow-up.Results:The expression levels of C-met mRNA and STC-2 mRNA in cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues: 4.51 ± 1.21 vs. 3.97 ± 1.14, 2.57 ± 0.21 vs. 2.12 ± 0.24, there were statistical differences ( t = 3.41, 14.80, P<0.05). The expression of STC-2 and C-met in cancer tissues had no significant difference with age, pathological type, federation international of gynecology and obstetrics (FIGO) stage and tumor size ( P>0.05), but had significant difference with tumor recurrence or metastasis ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic multivariate analysis showed that vascular emboli, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, depth of tumor invasion, C-met expression and STC-2 expression were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients ( P<0.05). The expression of STC-2 and C-met were negatively correlated with the time of tumor metastasis in patients with cervical cancer ( r = - 0.663, P<0.001; r = - 0.747, P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression levels of STC-2 and C-met in cancer tissues of cervical cancer patients are higher than those in adjacent normal tissues, and the expression levels of STC-2 and C-met are negatively correlated with the time of metastasis. The expression of C-met, the expression of STC-2, vascular emboli, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and the depth of tumor invasion are all independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving therapeutic efficacy of methadone hydrochloride in maintenance treatment for drug addicts.METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted among drug addicts from outpatient department of drug maintenance treatment in 2 hospitals of Zhongshan City about their situation and demands.The data were statistically analyzed.RESULTS:A total of 101 questionnaires were distributed,and 88 effective questionnaires were recovered with effective recovery of 87.13%.64.77% of the respondents had abused one or more drugs (narcotics) in the last year except for methadone hydrochloride;among them,the frequency of heroin abuse was the highest,which is 31.31%,followed by Qutong tablet,valium,meth,tramadol,etc.72.73% of the respondents said they could stick to methadone hydrochloride maintenance treatment completely.The dosage of methadone was relatively dispersed,and the average dosage was 75.80 mL/time;the proportion of 71-80 mL/time was high,accounting for 26.14%.The average score of respondents' family support was (6.22 ± 1.88) and the average score of social support was(32.73 ± 6.94).The proportions of general,poor and very poor economic condition were 52.27%,22.73%,14.77%,respectively.The main demand of the top 5 respondents were to eliminate social discrimination (38.64%),employment (35.23%),psychological emotional support (35.23%),to reduce methadone hydrochloride dose (32.95%),assisting to reduce relapse (28.41%),respectively.CONCLUSIONS:The majority of the addicts who receive methadone hydrochloride maintenance treatment are male and middle-aged and young,their relative economic status is poor,and their family care and social support are unsatisfactory.The vast majority of them can adhere to methadone hydrochloride maintenance treatment completely or basically,most of which still abuse other drugs (narcotics) and have many demands.It is necessary to connect "biological-psychological-social" mode of medical treatment through social work intervention service mode,and conduct comprehensive intervention in order to better meet the relevant requirements and improve therapeutic efficacy of methadone hydrochloride maintenance treatment.

Objective:
To compare the safety and immunogenicity of two different sequential schedules of inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine made from Sabin strain (sIPV) followed by typeⅠ+Ⅲ bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) in Drug Candy (DC) form or liquid dosage form).
Methods:
This randomized, blinded, single center, parallel-group controlled trial was done from September 2015 to June 2016 in Liuzhou, Guangxi province. Healthy infants aged ≥2 months were eligible for enrollment and divided into 1sIPV+2bOPV or 2sIPV+1bOPV sequential schedules. According to the bOPV dosage form each sequential schedules, the subjects again were divided into drug candy(DC) form or liquid dosage form group, being 1sIPV+bOPV (DC)/1sIPV+2bOPV(liquid)/2sIPV+1bOPV(DC)/2sIPV+1bOPV(liquid). According to 0, 28, 56 d immunization schedule, Each group were given 3 doses. We recorded adverse events during the clinical trial (399 participants who receive at least one dose). 28 days post-Dose 3, we receive a total of 350 blood samples (excluding the quitters or subjects against trial plan), using cell culture trace against polio virus neutralization test Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ neutralizing antibody (GMT), calculating the antibody positive rate.PolioⅠ,Ⅱand Ⅲ antibody titers were assessed by virus-neutralizing antibody assay and the seroconversion (4-fold increase in titer) from pre-Dose 1 to 28 days post-Dose 3 was calculated (total 350 samples) .
Results:
During the vaccination, the incidence of AEs in 1sIPV+2bOPV(DC), 1sIPV+2bOPV (liquid), 2sIPV+1bOPV(DC), 2sIPV+1bOPV (liquid) group were 79%, 76%, 80% and 74% (χ2=1.23,
