Objective To explore the correlations of lung resistance protein (LRP) and glutathione S transferase π (GST-π) to chemotherapy resistance and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods The expressions of LRP and GST-π in epithelial ovarian cancer were examined with immunohistochemistry.Correlations of LRP and GST-π to chemotherapy efficacy and survival time after operation were analyzed.Results The short-term efficacy rates of ovarian cancer were lower in patients with positive expressions of LRP and GST-π than those with negative expressions [61.2％,61.7％ vs 94.1％,89.5％,x2 =6.47,4.94,P =0.011,P =0.026].The positive rates of LRP and GST-π were significant higher in patients with chemotherapy resistance than in those sensitive to chemotherapy [91.3％,87.0％ vs 65.1％,62.8％,P ＜ 0.05].Log-rank test showed that patients with positive LRP and GST-π had shorter survival time than those negative,and patients with both positive LRP and GST-π had shorter survival time than those both negative (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The expressions of LRP and GST-π in epithelial ovarian cancer could be used to predict chemotherapy resistance and prognosis of patients.

Objective: To explore the impact of household tobacco smoke exposure on adolescents attempted smoking behavior, so as to provide a reference for tobacco control policy formulation and evaluation. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 7 841 middle and high school students from 10 monitoring sites (districts/counties) in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Rao-Scott Chi square test was used to assess differences in proportions across subgroups, and complex sampling design based multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influence of parental smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure at home on adolescents attempted smoking behavior. Results: About 47.17% of adolescents reported to have at least one parent smoked, with 42.36% reported of having only the father smoked, 0.73% reported of having only the mother smoked, and 4.08% reported of having both parents smoked. About 34.66% of middle and high school students were reported SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, with 10.98%, 4.79% and 18.89% reported SHS exposure for 1-2, 3-4 and 5-7 days. Compared to adolescents with non smoking parents, those with a smoking father or both smoking parents had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=1.45(1.06-1.98), 3.73(2.18-6.37), P < 0.05 ]. Compared to adolescents without SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, those exposed for 3-4 or 5- 7 days had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=2.21(1.27- 3.84 ), 2.46(1.58-3.83), P <0.01]. Conclusions Household tobacco smoke exposure is associated with adolescent attempted smoking behavior. Parents should quit smoking and prohibit smoking at home to create a smoke free environment for adolescents.

Background: Aberrant Bcl-2 transcription is closely related with nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, the relationship between Bcl-2 and primary gastrointestinal DLBCL (PGI-DLBCL) was not fully studied.Aims: To investigate the relationship between Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL.Methods: Clinical data was collected from 136 PGI-DLBCL patients receiving surgical treatment, and a telephone interview was conducted for survival information.Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression in tumor tissue were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization and immuno-histochemistry, respectively, and relationships between Bcl-2 and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL were analyzed.Results: Among 136 PGI-DLBCL patients, 33 (24.3%) showing gene amplification and 90 (66.2%) showing protein expression of Bcl-2;gene amplification was correlated with primary tumor location, Ann Arbor stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, B symptom and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score (P<0.05), while protein expression was correlated with primary tumor location and immunophenotype (P<0.05).5-year overall survival (OS) in patients positive for Bcl-2 gene amplification and patients with non-GCB immunophenotype and positive for Bcl-2 protein expression were inferior to those negative ones (41.5%vs.71.5%, P<0.05;54.6% vs.84.6%, P<0.05).In Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression positive patients, 5-year OS of CHOP chemotherapy was inferior to that of rituximab combined with CHOP chemotherapy (48.6%vs.80.3%, P<0.05;66.4%vs.83.4%, P<0.05).Conclusions: Detection of Bcl-2 gene amplification is useful for prediction of prognosis in PGI-DLBCL.Both patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification and non-GCB patients with Bcl-2 protein expression have a poorer prognosis.Rituximab may improve the prognosis in patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression.

Objective:To investigate whether intestinal rehabilitation therapy (IRT)could optimize the effectiveness of IRT in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) caused by acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) with chronic multivessel lesions.Methods:Clinical data of 18 hospitalized patients diagnosed with AMI leading to SBS and undergoing IRT at the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from Jan 2012 to Oct 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Result:Following IRT, the revascularization group showed significantly greater increases in ASMI and grip strength compared to the control group [(0.28±0.26) kg/m 2vs. (0.02±0.21) kg/m 2, P=0.033, and (0.97±0.33) kg vs. (0.48±0.34) kg, P=0.007, respectively]. Similarly, the increase in EN intake was significantly higher in the revascularization group compared to the control group [(572.5±93.6) ml/d vs. (375.2±176.3) ml/d, P=0.012], accompanied by a greater improvement in intestinal nitrogen absorption rate [(25.06±14.06)% vs. (13.84±4.62)%, P=0.034] and a more substantial decrease in GSRS scores [(-15.88±3.94) vs. (-6.33±5.13), P=0.030]. Moreover, there were significant differences in the composition of EN formulations between the two groups after IRT ( P=0.046). Additionally, SF-36 scores at discharge were significantly higher in the revascularization group than that in the control group for five indicators including BP, GH, VT, SF, and MH ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with SBS resulting from AMI by chronic multivessel lesions, revascularization therapy may not leading to higher growth in weight and hematological nutritional indicators during IRT, but it is beneficial for improving muscle function, improving EN absorption, increasing the likelihood of PN independence, relieving gastrointestinal symptoms, and enhancing overall quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo set up the technical system of multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization M-FISH and to explore its application in detection of the complex chromosome abnormalities in leukemia.

METHODSThe complex chromosome abnormalities of two leukemia patients were analyzed by the combination use of classical cytogenetics, chromosome painting (CP), FISH and M-FISH.

RESULTSIn a case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia-L2, the complex karyotype: 46,XY,der(2)t(2;9),der(9)t(9;12;22) was identified by M-FISH, which was detected as 46,XY,der(9)t(9;12) by classical cytogenetics; In a case of acute monocytic leukemia-M5, the complex chromosome abnormalities: 46,XY,der(2)t(2;17), der(10)t(10;11;17), der(11)t(11;?) was revealed by M-FISH, which was confirmed by CP and FISH, and mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene was also found involved in this complex chromosome translocation.

CONCLUSIONM-FISH was proved to be a powerful tool to examine the complicated karyotypes and hopefully to elucidate nearly all chromosomal aberrations in leukemia and other cancers.

Objective: To estimate the impact of risk factors control on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) mortality, life expectancy and the numbers of labor force lost in China in 2030. Methods: We used the results of China from Global Burden of Disease Study 2013, according to the correlation between death of NCDs and exposure of risk factors and the comparative risk assessment theory, to calculate population attributable fraction (PAF) and disaggregate deaths of NCDs into parts attributable and un-attributable. We used proportional change model to project risk factors exposure and un-attributable deaths of NCDs in 2030, then to get deaths of NCDs in 2030. Simulated scenarios according to the goals of global main NCDs risk factors control proposed by WHO were constructed to calculate the impact of risk factors control on NCDs death, life expectancy and the numbers of labor force lost. Results: If the risk factors exposure changed according to the trend of 1990 to 2013, compared to the numbers (8.499 million) and mortality rate (613.5/100 000) of NCDs in 2013, the death number (12.161 million) and mortality rate (859.2/100 000) would increase by 43.1% and 40.0% respectively in 2030, among which, ischemic stroke (increasing by 103.3% for death number and 98.8% for mortality rate) and ischemic heart disease (increasing by 85.0% for death number and 81.0% for mortality rate) would increase most quickly. If the risk factors get the goals in 2030, the NCDs deaths would reduce 2 631 thousands. If only one risk factor gets the goal, blood pressure (1 484 thousands NCDs deaths reduction), smoking (717 thousands reduction) and BMI (274 thousands reduction) would be the most important factors affecting NCDs death. Blood pressure control would have greater impact on ischemic heart disease (662 thousands reduction) and hemorrhagic stroke (449 thousands reduction). Smoking control would have the greatest effect on lung cancer (251 thousands reduction) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (201 thousands reduction). BMI control would have the greatest impact on ischemic heart disease (86 thousands reduction) and hypertensive heart disease (45 thousands reduction). If the risk factors exposure changed according to the trend of 1990 to 2013, in 2030, the life expectancy of Chinese population would reach to 79.0 years old, compared to 2013, increasing by 3.3 years old, the labor force at the age of 15-64 years old would loss 1.932 million. If the risk factors get the goals in 2030, life expectancy would increase to 81.7 years old and the number of labor force lost would decrease to 1.467 million. Blood pressure, smoking and BMI control would have much greater impact on life expectancy (4.9, 4.0 and 3.8 years old respectively) and labor force lost (630 thousands, 496 thousands and 440 thousands respectively). Conclusion Risk factors control would play an important role in reducing NCD death, improving life expectancy of residents and reducing loss of labor force. Among them, the control of blood pressure raising, smoking and BMI raising would have a greater contribution to the improvement of population health status.

Objective: To assess the disease burden for low back pain in China in 2013 and analyzed the change of it between 1990 and 2013. Methods: Data was from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013). The burden of low back pain (LBP) among age groups, gender groups, provinces (excluding Taiwan China) groups was assessed by years lived with disability (YLD), including YLD, YLD rate, proportion of YLD due to LBP. The change of the YLD for LBP was analyzed between 1990 and 2013 by age-standardized YLD rate using the world standard population of 2000-2025 WHO. Results: In 2013, The YLD for LBP was 16 347 thousand (the leading cause of YLD in China), and the proportion of YLD in age group 30-59 years old was 54.6% (8 929/16 347) . The age-standardized rate in China was 1 072.6/100 000, and the rates in Guangdong (1 742.2/100 000) , Shanghai (1 227.8/100 000) and Beijing (1 136.6/100 000) were higher than in other provinces. The proportion of YLD due to LBP was 11.8%. LBP was the leading cause of YLD in China. Compared with 1990, the growth rates of age-standardized rate, proportion of YLD and YLD, were 5.6%, 25.5% and 72.1%, desperately. Conclusion Low back pain was the leading cause of YLD in China in 2013. Compared with 1990, the disease burden for low back pain increased rapidly.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of obesity and its relationships to five common chronic diseases among the Chinese elderly population.Methods In 2013,The 4th Chronic Non-communicable Disease & Risk Factor Surveillance in China was conducted in 31 provinces.A multistage cluster sampling method was used at 298 National Disease Surveillance Points(DSPs).A total of 51778 adults aged 60 and over received a standardized questionnaire,physical examinations,and laboratory tests for blood lipid & glucose levels.The body mass index(BMI)was used for obesity measurement and waist circumference(WC)for central obesity measurement.After weighting adjustment of the sample,the prevalence of obesity and central obesity was compared between different genders,among different age groups,and among different regions.The unconditional Logistic regression model was applied to analyze the relationships of five selected chronic diseases with BMI and WC.Population attributable fractions (AFP)were also calculated.Results Among the elderly,the prevalence of obesity and central obesity was 13.2 ％ and 55.4 ％,respectively.Both were higher in women(16.3％ and 64.4％)than in men(9.9％ and 46.0％)and higher in the urban areas (15.6％ and 62.0％) than in the rural areas (12.0％ and 52.1％) (all P ＜ 0.05).The increased prevalence of five common chronic diseases was correlated with increased BMI and WC(all P＜0.05).After adjustment for confounders,obesity was associated with increased prevalence of hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia,and stroke (ORs:1.43-2.68,AFP s:0.05-0.18);central obesity was associated with increased prevalence of the five chronic diseases (ORs:1.35-1.88,AFPs:0.16-0.33)Conclusions High prevalence of obesity and central obesity can be seen in aged women and the urban elderly population.Obesity and central obesity are both related to hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia,and stroke.Besides,central obesity is also associated with myocardial infarction.

Objective:To investigate the role of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation for patients with ultra-short bowel syndrome.Methods:This study included 34 inpatients diagnosed with ultra-short bowel syndrome in the General Surgery Department of the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 2012 to October 2023. Patients were grouped based on whether they received intestinal rehabilitation and whether dietary fiber was added to the treatment plan, and were divided into three groups: nutritional therapy group (11 cases), growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (10 cases) and growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (13 cases). The therapeutic regimen and its changes, pre- and post-treatment parameters of hematology, nutrition, intestinal absorption, fecal consistency, and quality of life were recorded and compared, and the impact of different treatment regimens on clinical outcomes was analyzed.Results:Compared with nutrition treatment group and growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, the increase of enteral nutritional fluid, the decrease of parenteral nutritional energy, the increase of intestinal moisture absorption, the decrease of defecation times and the appreciation of hemoglobin were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same time, the levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein were significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Nutritional support combined with intestinal rehabilitation can significantly improve the nutritional status and intestinal absorption rate of ultra-short bowel syndrome patients. The use of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation regimen for ultra-short bowel syndrome patients yields more significant benefits, as evidenced by improved clinical outcomes.
