Objective To investigate the visual spatial attention of occipital stroke patients with hemianopia during the acute phase.Methods Eight occipital stroke patients with homonymous hemianopia of left side in the acute stage and 10 age-matched healthy controls were recruited to examine the capability of visual spatial attention.The cue-target paradigms were applied in this behavioral research.Results In the repeated measures analysis of variance,the difference of group and cue range had distinct main effect in reaction time and accuracy rate,while the difference of target location only had main effect in reaction time.Compared with the control group,the patients exhibited longer reaction time ((1 628.26 ± 183.97) ms vs (839.79±61.29) ms,F(1,16) =163.706,P＜0.05) and lower accuracy rate (73.40％ ±3.12％ vs 92.99％ ±0.76％,F(1,16) =371.850,P ＜ 0.05).The patients displayed lower accuracy rate under large cue than small cue (71.38％ ±3.35％ vs 75.42％ ±4.23％,F(1,7) =6.706,P ＜0.05),while that of healthy controls did not vary under different cue range(93.01％ ± 0.50％ vs 92.96％ ± 1.42％,F(1,9) =0.010,P ＞ 0.05).The patients showed longer reaction time in blind-side target than healthy-side target ((1 664.17±196.57) msvs (1 594.35±174.45) ms,F(1,7) =14.157,P＜0.05),while that of control group in two target location had no statistically significant difference ((839.67 ± 60.41) ms vs (839.91 ±73.54) ms,F(1,9) =0.000,P ＞0.05).Furthermore,the mean reaction time of stroke patients had a negative correlation with the binocular vision field index (r =-0.824,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The extent of vision field loss in occipital stroke patients with hemianopia can reflect impairment of visual spatial attention during the acute phase.The rehabilitation training should emphasize promoting recovery of visual spatial attention in the blind side under large cue.

Objective To investigate the expression of COX-2,MMP-2 and TIMP-2 ,the pathological fea-tures ,and their relationship in breast cancer. Methods The expressions of COX-2 ,MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were deter-mined by S-P immunohistochemical method on tissue chips,which containing 127 cases of breast carcinoma. Results The positive rates of COX-2,MMP-2 and TIMP-2 protein were 81.1 (103/127)% ,96.9(123/127)% and 60.6 (77/127) % respectively;The expression of COX-2 was positively related to auxiliary lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively), and inversely related to PR expression (P<0.05). Further-more,the expression of COX-2 was positively correlated with MMP-2 (r=0. 290 ,P<0.01). Conclusions The ex-pression of COX-2 might be closely related to the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer and has a close relation-ship with MMP-2. The levels of MMP-2 might be partly regulated by COX-2.

Objective:To perform the preoperative design and operative simulation for periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF)in one patient with complex tumor knee replacement under assistance of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology,and to explore a more accurate and feasible way to restore the normal anatomy and function of this kind of patients.Methods:The female patient aged 32 years old diagnosed with PFF after an complex tumor knee replacement was selected.The CT images of the patient’s bilateral legs were collected and reconstructed.The bilateral femurs were virtually sliced and the important parameters at each location of both sides were recorded respectively.Novel femoral stem and nail paths were specially designed on the basis of original prosthesis according to these parameters.

Objective:To analyze the etiological characteristics and molecular epidemiological correlation of five cases of typhoid fever during the same period in yantai city.Methods:Six S. Typhis strains were isolated from 5 typhoid patients and epidemiological samples in Yantai city in 2018. The onset time of the cases were from May 26, 2018 to July 24, 2018, distributed in Shuidao Town of Muping District, Dengzhou Street of Penglai District, Donglai Street of Longkou District, Wenhua Street of Muping District and Fulaishan Street of zhifu District. S. Typhis strains were analyzed by conventional bacterial isolation method and XbaⅠ/BlnⅠ double-enzyme digestion pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Meanwhile, ViaB virulence gene detection and 27 common antibiotics sensitivity tests were conducted to study the etiology of S. Typhis.Results:Six strains of S. Typhi were isolated from 5 patients and the domestic egg of one patient, which were divided into 4 PFGE patterns by PFGE-XbaⅠ and PFGE-BlnⅠ and among which 3 strains had the same PFGE patterns.One multi-drug resistant strain (foreign patient), one single-drug resistant strain (patient with a history of provincial retention), and one completely sensitive strain were detected. The three strains of the same PFGE pattern exhibit the same drug-sensitive phenotype which were intermediate against aminoglycosides and quinolones and susceptibility against the other antibiotics.All of the strains carried the ViaB virulence factor except the strain from the foreign patient.Conclusion:Local S. Typhi is susceptibility or intermediate against antibiotics commonly used in clinic.Sporadic cases of typhoid fever and typhoid imported infections still need attention.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the current immunization strategy for hepatitis B virus (Hepatitis B) in blocking mother-to-infant transmission in Hubei Province, and to explore the mechanism and possible influencing factors of failure of mother-to-infant blockade. Methods A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select 2 counties or districts in Hubei Province. Through maternity hospital health handbook, neonatal health record or hospital medical record system, hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive pregnant women in 2012-2018 years were included to retrospectively investigate their delivery status and the HBV infection status of their children. Results Among the 302 newborns, 32 were positive for HBsAg, and the success rate of blockade of mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B was 89.45%. Further analysis showed that 68.21% (206 / 302) of newborns were delivered in township hospitals, 66.23% (200 / 302) were delivered by caesarean section and 41.72% (126 / 302) were breastfed, while 16.89% (51/302) were positive for hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg), and 41.06% (124/302) were positive for anti-HBe. The vaccination rate of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) during pregnancy was 3.31% (10/302), and the newborn HBIG vaccination rate was 94.37% (285/302). There were 84.11% (254/302) of pregnant women taking protective measures in daily life. Logistic regression analysis showed that township hospitals (OR=2.82, P<0.05), HBeAg positivity during pregnancy (OR=8.68, P<0.05), and HBIG vaccination during pregnancy (OR=12.62 , P<0.05) were risk factors for failure of mother-to-infant blockade, while anti-HBe positivity during pregnancy (OR=0.22, P<0.05), vaccination of newborns with HBIG (OR=0.20, P<0.05), and protective measures taken in daily life (OR=0.28, P<0.05) were protective factors for mother-to-infant interruption. Conclusion Deliveries in township hospitals and HBeAg-positivity during pregnancy are more likely to fail in blocking of mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B. HBIG vaccination during pregnancy does not reduce the risk of blockade failure. Neonatal HBIG vaccination, anti-HBe positivity during pregnancy, and protective measures in daily life can reduce the risk of blockade failure of mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B.

To investigate the effect of RAD18-siRNA on cell proliferation and chemotherapy sensitivity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) ECA-109 cells.RAD18-siRNA was transfected into human ECA-109 cells by Lipofectamine 3000. Quantitative PCR and Western blot were performed to detect RAD18 and CyclinD1 expression; CCK-8 assay was used to determine cell proliferation and chemotherapy drug sensitivity; flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle. Correlation between RAD18 and CyclinD1 mRNA expression was analyzed by Pearson's correlation.Compared with non-transfected cells, the expression of RAD18 in RAD18-siRNA group was significantly decreased (<0.05). The cell proliferation was inhibited (<0.05) and the cell number of G1 phase was increased, G2/M phase cells decreased (<0.05) in RAD18-siRNA group. After treatment with different concentrations of cisplatin or 5-FU, the survival rate of the two cell groups was reduced (all<0.05), and the IC50 of RAD18-siRNA group was significantly lower than that of non-transfected group (<0.05). The mRNA expression of RAD18 was positively correlated with CyclinD1 expression in ESCC tissues(=0.478,<0.01).Down-regulated expression of RAD18 can decrease the cell proliferation and increase chemo-sensitivity of ESCC cells, and CyclinD1 may participate in the process.
