Objective:The topographical mapping technique of cortical evoked potential was used to observe the changes of the functional activities in the primary somatosensory area of cortex (SI) during external stimulation,the immanent relation between external stimulation and topographical mapping of cortical somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP). Methods:33 healthy adult volunteers were under observation. Cerebral electric signal processing system was used to lead CSEP on the scalp. The external stimulation was applied as following:①A soft paintbrush was used to slightly brush the face only. ②Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the lower limb only. ③Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the trunk only. ④Paintbrush was used to slightly brush the lower limb or the trunk or the Gallbladder Meridian (GBM) and passing the upper arm by imitating the speed of meridian transmission phenomenon respectively. Results:①Evoking responses appeared in the foot areas in SI,without meridian transmission phenomenon when brushing the face,lower limb or trunk only. ②Healthy volunteers were offered imitation of sensation conduction along the GBM as well as brushing through the upper arm in addition,while,the results showed that the evoking responses appeared in the foot,the upper arm and the face representation area of SI simultaneously. Conclusion:The external stimulation along the meridian course was able to change the distribution of evoking responses in SI during stimulating acupoint. But the local stimulating on face,lower limb or trunk can not change the distribution of CSEP. The results provided experimental evidence for the supposition that 'activation in sequence in periphery'was the decisive factor for the formation of meridian transmission phenomenon.

Objective:To evaluate early corneal biomechanical change, safety and effectiveness after small-incision lenticule extraction combined with ultraviolet A corneal collagen cross-linking (SMILE-CXL) for myopic eyes and compare with SMILE.Methods:A non-randomized controlled clinical study was performed.Forty-four myopic eyes of 25 patients were included in Hankou Aier Eye Hospital from December 2017 to July 2018.SMILE-CXL or SMILE was carried out for 22 eyes of 12 patients or 22 eyes of 13 patients, respectively, based on the normal posterior surface manifestation of Belin by Pentacam tomography or not.The posterior surface manifestation of Belin was normal in the SMILE group, and the posterior surface of Belin was yellow or red with Corvis biomechanical index and tomographic biomechanical index<0.3 (except keratoconus) in the SMILE-CXL group.The refractive diopter of the eyes was detected before and 6 months after surgery, including spherical diopter, cylindrical diopter and spherical equivalent (SE) with a comprehensive refractometer.The corneal biomechanical parameters of the eyes were detected before and 6 months after surgery with a Scheimpflug-based dynamic tonometry (Corvis ST). The safety index, a ratio of postoperative mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) to preoperative mean BCVA, and efficacy index, a ratio of postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) to preoperative BCVA, were compared between SMILE-CXL group and SMILE group.BCVA and UCVA were examined using standard chart and converted to logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) units.This protocol complied with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Hankou Aier Eye Hospital (No.WHS2017052701). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering into the cohort.Results:The postoperative UCVA of the eyes in both groups was more than 1.0.There were no significant differences in safety index, efficacy index and SE change between the SMILE-CXL group and SMILE group (all at P≥0.05). At 6 months after surgery, the values of second applanation time (A2T), time from the start until the highest concavity (HC-Time) and DA ratio 2 mm were significantly increased in comparison with before operation in both SMILE-CXL group and SMILE group (all at P<0.05). The changes of A2T, HC-Time and DA ratio 2 mm in the SMILE-CXL group were significantly lowered than those in the SMILE group at the sixth month after surgery ( P=0.001, 0.001, 0.036). The deformation amplitude, maximum corneal velocity during the first applanation (Vin), distance between both non-deformed peaks and integrated radius during the maximum depression were significantly increased, and the central curvature radius at highest concavity, cord length of first applanation, cord length of second applanation, Ambrósio's relational thickness horizontal, stiffness parameter applanation 1 and biomechanical intraocular pressure during the maximum depression were significantly lower at the sixth month after surgery than those before surgery (all at P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the parameters mentioned above between the two groups (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with SMILE alone, SMILE-CXL shows a comparable safety and efficacy, and better corneal biomechanical properties.

Objective To analyse the effectiveness of the preoperative 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy for large nephroblastoma up to 10 centimeters in diameter,and to investigate more effective preoperative therapies for intermediate and advanced nephroblastoma.Methods 32 cases of nephroblastoma were treated with preoperative radiotherapy with a dose fractionation as follows:150-200 cGy/fraction,5 fraction/week,the total dose of 1 000-2 000cGy,the mean dose of 1 600 cGy.During the radiotherapy,the B ultrasonic examination and CT were performed weekly to measure the variation of tumor volumes.The time of operation were determined based on the overall health status of patients,the shrinkage of tumor,and adhesions between tumor and adjacent vital organs.Radiontherapy was terminated one week before operation.4 patients who were found tumor adhered to normal tissues around kidney during operation were placed silver clip,and were given postoperative radiotherapy with additional dose of 1 000-2 000 cGy and the mean dose of 1 200 cGy.Results The median tumor reduction rate was 37 ％.The effective rate of preoperative radiotherapy was 100 ％.The complete resection rate was 87.5 ％.2-years tumor-free survival rates was 84.4 ％ and 5-years was 78.1％.There was no surgery-related death.Conclusion Preoperative 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy reduces tumor volume,and raises resection and survival rate.

Objective To investigate the long-term curative effect of the radiotherapy combined uterine arterial interventional chemoembolization for cervical cancer.Methods Records of 632 patients with cervical cancer stage Ⅱ-Ⅳa proved by pathology in Lanzhou Command General Hospital from January 1st,1999 to August 31st.2009 were retrospective analysed.One hundrand and twenty-six cases of them were treated with radical radiothempy combined uterine arterial interventional chemoembolization(arterial chemoembolization+radiotherapy group).506 cases of them were treated with radical radiotherapy only (radiotherapy group);the evaluation of the late radiation injury was done,according to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(RTOG/EORTC)advanced radiation injury criteria.Prognosis and complications were compared between two groups,relative risk factors of radiothempy complications were identified by method of logistic regression.Results (1)Survival:the total survival mtes of 1-year,2-year,5-year and 8-year were 94.4%,82.3%,48.8%,29.1%,respectively.The survival rates of arterial chemoembolization+radiotherapy group were 96.0%.82.1%,37.2%,25.7%,while the survival rates of radiotherapy group were 94.1%,80.8%,51.1%,31.5%,in which there were significant differences between two groups (x2 = 0.009, P= 0.993; x2 =0. 158, P =0.691;X2 =11. 197,P=0. 001;x2 =9. 649,P =0.002). During the follow-up period, the rate of recurrence and metastasis in arterial chemoembolization + radiotherapy group were 77. 0% (97/126), while 73. 3% (371/ 506) in radiotherapy group ( x2 = 0. 705,P = 0. 401). (2) Radiotherapy complications and relative risk factors; the total incidence of tardive bladder injury higher than RTOG/EORTC stage II was 5.5% (35/632), while it was 11. l%(14/126)in arterial chemoembolization + radiotherapy group, 4.2% (21/506) in the radiotherapy group(x2 =9.344,P =0.002). The results of logistic regression showed that the uterine arterial interventional chemoembolization was relative risk factors of the tardive bladder injury ( x2 =6. 440, OR = 2. 869,P=0. 011). Conclusions Compared with the simple radiotherapy, there are a similar short-term survival rate and significant poor 5-year, 8-year survival rate in the patients treated with the uterine arterial interventional chemoembolization combined with radiotherapy, which also may be strong dangerous factor for the occurrence of tardive bladder injury. The results shown that the uterine arterial interventional chemoem bolization do not recommend to be routine adjuvant therapy for the radical radiotherapy of cervical cancer.

Objective To explore the changes of proteomic spectra from plasma of patients with lung cancer or benign lung diseases and health controls in order to establish a primary diagnosis model of lung cancer. Methods The proteomic spectra from plasma of 108 patients with lung cancer, 40 patients with benign lung diseases and 22 healthy individuals were analysed by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry ( SELDI-TOF-MS). The best decision tree model was established by cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Then the model was blindly validated by the protein of 21 patients with lung benign diseases and 47 patients with stage I lung cancer. Results Twenty-three significantly differentially expressed protein peaks were successfully detected (P <0.001). Blinded validation suggested that the accuracy for diagnosing lung cancer was 72. 06%, the sensitivity and specificity were 72. 34% and 71.43%, respectively, and the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 85. 0% and 78. 95%, respectively. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip technology provides a new tool for the early diagnosis of lung cancer.

One hundred and twenty nine patients with pelvic organ prolapse (stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ according to POP-Q staging) diagnosed in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2016 were enrolled,among whom 66 cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy plus vaginal anterior and posterior wall repair (TO group),63 cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy plus pelvic floor reconstruction with autologous tissue (AT group).Clinical parameters,perioperative and postoperative complications were analyzed.There was no statistically significant difference in intraoperative blood loss,indwelling urethral catheter time,length of hospital stay,and anal exhaust time between group AT and group TO (P＞O.05).The average operation time of group AT was significantly longer than that of group TO (P＜0.05).The postoperative rotation angle of urethra (UR),posterior vesicourethral angle (RVA),and bladder neck descent (BND) of group AT were significantly reduced (P＜0.05).The BND of group AT was significantly smaller than that of group TO 3 months and 12 months after the surgery (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in UR before and 12 months after surgery in group TO (P＞0.05),while the BND at 12 months after operation in group TO was increased compared to 3 months after operation (P＜0.05).There were significant differences in scores of PFIQ-7 and PISQ-12 before surgery and 12 month after surgery in both groups (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of postoperative recurrence and pressure incontinence (P＜0.05).It is suggested that the stability of pelvic floor anatomical structure after pelvic floor reconstruction with autologous tissue is better than that of the traditional surgery,especially for patients with severe pelvic organ prolapse.

The purpose of this study was to screen peptides that can specifically bind to human hepatocellular carcinoma (hHCC) cells using phage display of random peptide library in order to develope a peptide-based carrier for the diagnosis or therapy of hHCC. A peptide 12-mer phage display library was employed and 4 rounds of subtractive panning were performed using the hHCC cell line HepG2 as the target. After panning, the phages that specifically bound to and internalized in hHCC cells were selected. The selected phages demonstrated highly specific affinity to HepG2 cells analyzed by ELISA and immunofluorescence analysis. 57.3% of the selected phage clones displayed repeated sequence FLLEPHLMDTSM, and 4 amino acid residues, FLEP were extremely conservative. Based on the sequencing results, a 16-mer peptide (WH-16) was synthesized. The competitive ELISA showed that the binding of the phage clones displayed sequence FLLEPHLMDTSM to HepG2 cells was efficiently inhibited by WH-16. Our findings indicate that cellular binding of phage is mediated via its displayed peptide and the synthesized 16-mer peptide may have the potential to be a delivery Carrier in target diagnosis or therapy for hHCC.

Targeted to the junior nursing students in our university, we applied experiential teaching in the course of Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing to carry out humanistic care infiltration education, which mainly included three parts: aesthetic activities in theoretical class, experiential activities in experimental class and enlightenment after class. After class, compared with the nursing students who were educated by traditional teaching methods, the quality of humanistic care of nursing students who accepted experiential teaching was improved more obviously. It is suggested that the application of experiential teaching is effective in infiltrating humanistic care education in nursing professional courses, which is also in line with the development of nursing discipline.

Objective To investigate effects of pirfenidone (PFD) on diabetic nephropathy model in db/db mice and to explore its possible mechanisms.Methods (1) Wild-type mice were as the normal control group,and db/db mice were divided into model group and PFD group,with 6 mice in each group.In the PFD group mice were administered continuously by 250 mg· kg-1· d-1 PFD for 18 weeks,and mice in the other two groups were administered by 0.5％ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.Blood glucose and 24 h urinary albumin were measured.The pathological changes of renal tissue were evaluated by PAS staining,PASM staining,Masson staining and Sirius red staining.The expression of collagen type Ⅳ in kidney tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry.(2) Mouse mesangial cells (SV40 MES-13 cells) were cultured as research objects.They were divided into control group,hyperosmolar group,high glucose (HG) group,and 50,100,200,400,800,1600 mg/L PFD+HG group.BrdU cell proliferation test was used to evaluate cell proliferation rate.Cells were divided into control group,hyperosmolar group,HG group and PFD+HG group.The mRNA expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),collagen type Ⅰ,collagen type Ⅳ,transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were detected by real-time PCR.Results (1) Compared with normal control group,the model mice had higher weight,blood glucose and 24 h urinary albumin,accompanied with glomerular hypertrophy,mesangial area expansion,tubulointerstitial fibrosis and deposition of collagen type Ⅳ (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with those in model group,in PFD group 24 h urinary albumin decreased,glomerular hypertrophy,mesangial area expansion and tubulointerstitial fibrosis alleviated,and the protein expression of collagen type Ⅳ inhibited (all P＜0.05).(2) Compared with those in HG group,MES-13 cell proliferation rates of 100,200,400,800,1600 mg/L PFD+HG groups decreased (all P ＜ 0.05),and the mRNA expressions of α-SMA,collagen type Ⅰ,collagen type Ⅳ,TGF-β1,IL-1β,IL-6 and MCP-1 reduced in 400 mg/L PFD+HG group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PFD can inhibit high glucose-induced proliferation and activation of glomerular mesangial cells,decrease the expression of TGF-β1 and proinflammatory factors,as well as reduce the synthesis of collagen,which improve renal fibrosis of db/db mice.
