Objective:To investigate the expressions of miR23b and Sp1 in ovarian endometriosis and their clinic significance.Methods:qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR23b and Sp1 mRNA in paired ectopic/eutopic and normal endometrium.Immunohistochemistry and Western bolt were used to determine the expression and distribution of Sp1 in paired ectopic/eutopic and normal endometrium.The association ofmiR23b and Sp1 with the endometriosis was analyzed.Results:MiR23b mRNA expression in paired ectopic/eutopic and normal endometrium was gradually increased (P<0.05).Sp1 protein mainly distributed in the nucleus of endometrial glandular epithelial and stromal cells,with a little or without expression in cytoplasm.Spl mRNA and protein expression in paired ectopic/eutopic and normal endometrium was gradually reduced (P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that miR23b was negatively correlated with Sp 1 (r=-0.526,P<0.05).Conclusion:MiR23b and Sp1 are involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis,which may facilitate the formation of ectopic lesions.

Objective To explore the application of A-V impulse foot pump in patients with lumbar spine surgery to prevent lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. Methods A total of 139 patients with spinal lesions who took spinal surgery treatment from April 2015 to March 2016 were divided into experimental group (69 cases) and control group (70 cases) by random digits table method. Control group was given normal nursing instruction, and the person who had negative results of B ultrasonic examination in experimental group was accepted physical therapy with A-V impulse foot pump. The patients got secondary ultrasound or CT examination who had the deep venous thrombosis symptoms and/or highly suspected deep venous thrombosis in order to further confirmed, then calculated the incidence rate of two groups with deep venous thrombosis. Results There were 4 cases of 139 patients who got deep venous thrombosis in 2-6 days of postoperative, 1 case in experimental group, 3 case in control group, compared with control group, patients who used A-V impulse foot pump had lower risk of deep venous thrombosis, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The operation time, body mass index were (5.00 ± 0.82) h , (30.54 ± 3.93) kg/m2 in patients with deep venous thrombosis and (3.16 ± 0.66) h, (24.90 ± 2.62) kg/m2 in patients without deep venous thrombosis, and there were significant differences(t=5.44, 4.19, P<0.01). Conclusions The application of A-V impulse foot pump has positive significance to prevent the happening of deep venous thrombosis for patients who took spinal surgery, and it is worth to be popularized and applied in clinic.

Objective:To analyze the mediastinal displacement of target volume in the postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) process for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the value of mid-term evaluation.Methods:For 100 patients with postoperativeN 2 stage NSCLC, R 1-2 and any N staging, bone anatomy was utilized to measure the change of the first and second CT localization on the same level. Statistical analysis were performed using the WilCoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and χ2 tests. The cut-off values were calculated with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:Among the included patients, in the PORT process, the mediastinal displacement in the x (front and rear), Y (left and right) and Z (upper and lower) directions were 0.04-0.53 cm, 0.00-0.84 cm and 0.00-1.27 cm, respectively, and the order of mediastinal displacement distance wasz > Y> X,respectively. According to the ROC curve calculation, the cut-off values were 0.263, 0.352 and 0.405, respectively, which were greater than the cut-off values in 25 cases (25%), 30 cases (30%) and 30 cases (30%), respectively. There was significant difference in the three-dimensionalmediastinal displacement ( P=0.007, <0.001 and<0.001). The mediastinal displacement in thex, Y and Z directions had no statistical significance regarding resection site ( P=0.355, 0.239 and 0.256) and operation mode ( P=0.241, 0.110 and 0.064). Comparative analysis of modified whole group mediastinal shift> and cut-off values, medium-simulation (m-S) and the originally planned radiotherapy shown that there was no significant difference in the incidence of radiation esophagitis (RE) and radiation pneumonitis in PORT patients (all P>0.05); however, the incidence of ≥grade 3 RE in the modified plan after m-S was significantly lower than that in the originally planned PORT patients, which were 0 and 7%, respectively ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Mediastinal displacement exists in the PORT process of N 2 or/and R 1-2 cases after radical operation of NSCLC, and obvious movement occurs in 20%-30% of patients. Relocating and modifying the target volume and radiotherapy plan in the middle of the PORT process is beneficial to quality assurance and quality control.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of spleen-Yin deficiency on gastrointestinal absorption, water metabolism and intestinal flora in rats with spleen-Yin deficiency syndrome. MethodA rat model of spleen-Yin deficiency syndrome was established by using the composite factors, including irregular meat and vegetable diet, weight-bearing fatigue swimming and gavage with warm-heat injury-Yin drugs. The changes of body weight, food intake, water intake and duration of swimming in the blank and model groups were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological damage of the stomach and colon. Urinary excretion rate of D-xylose was determined by phloroglucinol method. The content of gastrin(GAS) in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The relative expression levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP), aquaporin 3(AQP3) and AQP4 in gastric tissues were detected by Western blot. The relative mRNA expression levels of VIP, AQP3 and AQP4 in gastric tissues were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR), and the changes of intestinal flora were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. ResultCompared with the blank group, the results of general physical signs showed that the body weight and food intake of rats in the model group were significantly decreased, the water intake was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the duration of swimming was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Pathological examination results showed that in the mucosa of gastric tissues of rats in the model group appeared to be misaligned, the mucosa of colonic tissues could be seen to be obviously thinned or mutilated, and the epithelial cells appeared to be necrotic or even exfoliated. Compared with the blank group, the urinary D-xylose excretion rate of rats in the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), and the serum GAS content was significantly decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, Western blot results showed that the relative expression level of VIP protein in gastric tissues of rats in the model group was significantly decreased, while the relative expression levels of AQP4 and AQP3 proteins were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, Real-time PCR results showed that the relative expression level of VIP mRNA in gastric tissues of rats in the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), and the relative mRNA expression levels of AQP3 and AQP4 were significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the results of intestinal flora analysis showed that the number of operational taxonomic units(OTUs) and α-diversity increased and β-diversity decreased significantly in the model group, the abundance of Porphyromonadaceae was increased significantly, and the abundance of Oscillibacter_ruminantium was decreased significantly(P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that Porphyromonadaceae was significantly positively correlated with AQP4 protein level, while Oscillibacter_ruminantium was significantly positively correlated with VIP protein level, and negatively correlated with AQP3 and AQP4 protein levels(P<0.05). Linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEfSe) analysis results showed that there were significant differences in a variety of intestinal bacteria between groups, and the intestinal bacteria of the model group were significantly enriched in the phylum/order/family/genus of Elusimicrobia, Betaproteobacteria, Burkholderiales, Sutterellaceae and Parasutterella(P<0.05). ConclusionSpleen-Yin deficiency syndrome can weaken the digestion and absorption capacity of gastrointestinal tract, and cause the disturbance of water metabolism and intestinal flora. AQP4, AQP3 and VIP protein levels of gastric mucosa are closely related to Porphyromonadaceae and Oscillibacter_ruminantium. And AQP4, AQP3 and VIP may be involved in the regulation of intestinal flora in order to affect the physiological function of spleen governing transportation and transformation.
