Objective To study the expression of RhoA protein in colorectal carcinoma. Methods The expression of RhoA protein in 92 cases of colorectal ccarcinoma and 30 cases of normal rectal tissue was detected by SP immunohistochemical technique. Results RhoA protein were negative in 40 cases of normal colorectal tissue. In 92 cases of colorectal carcinoma, the positive rate of RhoA protein was 70.7%. It was significantly higher than that in the normal colorectal tissue. The positive rate of RhoA protein in high-differentiated 、moderate-differentiated and lowdifferentiated rectal carcinoma were 43.5% 、74.4% and 86.7% ,respectively(P <0.05). The positive rates of RhoA in phase Ⅰ、phase Ⅱ、phase Ⅲ and phase Ⅳ were 48.6% 、77.3% 、83.3% and 94.1%, respectively (P < 0.05).The positive rate of RhoA protein in patients with lymphnode mestastasis and non-lymphnode mestastasis were 82% and 57.1% (P < 0.05). Conclusion RhoA protein could be related with the differentiation、invasion、metastatsis and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma.

The increasing prevalence of obesity in children worldwide has been a global healthy issue.It is important to identify the effect of fat mass on the bone, which contributes to promote the peak bone mass and prevent osteo-porosis-induced fracture.Body mass index (BMI), as an index to evaluate the state of obesity, is simple and easy to measure, and is suitable for self-test of a large range of people.This review aims to discuss the role of BMI in evaluating the interaction between obesity and bone density, and the predictive potential in fracture risk of children.

Objective:
To determine the association between physical health fitness with Chinese reading ability of schoolaged children, so as to provide evidence for improving children s reading ability.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 923 school aged children in grades 2-6 in a primary school in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The questionnaire included basic demographic information and Dyslexia Checklist for Chinese Children and the Pupil Rating Scale Revised Screening. At the same time, participants underwent physical fitness tests which included an assessment of height, weight, and lung capacity, as well as a 50 meter run, sit forward bend, one minute skipping rope task, sit ups, and a 50 × 8 round trip.
Results:
A total of 59 children were identified with dyslexia. Normal children achieved higher scores than children with dyslexia in the total physical health score, as well as the one minute skipping rope score, one minute sit up score, and sitting forward score ( P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the reading ability of girls was higher than that of boys ( β =-3.04, P <0.01), and the children who regularly participated in more intense physical activity and who had higher fitness scores had a higher reading ability ( β =-1.68, -0.08, P <0.01). Children s reading ability increased significantly with parental educational level( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Gender, parents education level, physical exercise intensity, and children s physical fitness were identified as influencing factors of school age children s reading ability. A positive correlation was found between children s physical health level and reading ability.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of primary catheter malposition (PCM) following totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) implantation via the internal jugular vein (IJV) and management strategies.Methods:Clinical data of 587 consecutive breast cancer patients undergoing TIVAP implantation via the IJV performed by single team at the Department of Breast Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Aug 2017 to Aug 2022 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 593 TIVAP were implanted and PCM was found in 18 cases (3.0%). Four hundred and twenty five TIVAP were implanted via the right IJV with one PCM case (0.2%). One hundred and sixty eight TIVAP implantations were performed via the left IJV and PCM occurred in 17 cases (10.1%). The interventional management with a pigtail catheter was performed as a first-line strategy in 11 of the 18 PCM cases, with a success in 10 cases and failure in one. Three cases were successfully managed with the digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided open approach. Four cases underwent blind open procedure firstly and 2 suffered a failure.Conclusions:A higher incidence of PCM is found in TIVAP implantations via the left IJV than the right one. The interventional management with a pigtail catheter or the DSA-guided open procedure proves to be feasible for the correction of PCM.

80% activity rate against E.coli included piperacillin/tazobactam(93.4%)、ceftazidime(86%),and amikacin(83.3%);The susceptible rate to piperacillin/tazobactam in K.pneumoniae was 84.6%. The susceptible rate to ceftazidime decreased from 82.3% to 69.9%, which was lower than to cefepime (77.2%). Over 50% of Enterobacter cloacae were resistant to ceftazidime, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. Susceptible rates to piperacillin/tazobactam in E. cloacae,E. aerogenes,Citrobacter freundii and Serratia marcescens (67.7%-96.4%) were higher than those to cefepime (68.8%-77.5%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (59.7%-87.5%). Susceptibility to amikacin among these 4 species (70%-83.7%) was higher than to ciprofloxacin (48.1%-79.5%). All of Morganella morganii and Proteus vulgaris isolates were susceptible to meropenem and imipenem; Over 90% of the isolates were susceptible to cefepime, cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam.The most active agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was meropenem (84%), followed by amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime and imipenem (72.5%-76.6%). Mutiple-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii increased from 33% in 2003 to 48% in 2004. Resistance to carbapenems increased to 18% in this species in 2004. The most active agents against Burkholderia cepacia were meropenme (64.9%), cefoperazon/sulbactam (63.2%), ceftazidime (59.6%), piperacillin/tazobactam (56.1%) and cefepime (52.6%).Conclusions Carbapenems remained very high activity against Enterobacteriaceae. Increasing resistance to 10 antimicrobials agents tested among A. baumanni brought great concern. Meropenem was 4-to 16-fold more active against common gram-negative bacilli than imipenem.
