Objective To study the expression of MAGE-3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) with different differentiation grades. Method Immunohistochemical technique for MAGE-3 antigen was performed in paraffin embedded sections of 101 CRC specimens. The relationship between differentiation and Dukes classification of CRC and the expression of MAGE-3 antigen was analyzed. Result MAGE-3 was only expressed in tumor tissues with the total positive rate of 31.7%. The rate and intensity of MAGE-3 in poorly differentiated group were higher than that of the well differentiated group (P0.05). Conclusion MAGE-3 may be a specific molecular differentiation related marker of CRC. Its antigen may have potential use as a new peptide vaccine for immunotherapy for CRC.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-375 inhibited by 2'-O-me-375 on lipoapoptosis of NIT-1 pancreatic β cells. Methods NIT-1 cells were divided and treated according to the optimal condition: mock (without lipofectamine) ,lipofectamine( transfected only with lipofectamine) ,NC-miRNA (transfected with negative control miRNA) ,and 2'-O-me-375( transfected with 2'-O-me-375) groups. 72 hours later, all cells in each group were cultured with 500 μmol/L palmitate for 48 h. The percentage of apoptotic cells was detected by Hochest33342 staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling (TUNEL). The protein expression of myotrophin ( V1 ) , a target gene of miR-375, was detected by Western blotting. Results Compared to the other three groups,the cell apoptosis rate of 2'-O-me-375 group was the lowest (P<0.01) .along with the highest VI expression level(P<0. 01). Conclusion Inhibition of miR-375 decreases pancreatic (3-cell lipoapoptosis.

High expression of Fightless I (FLII) is associated to multiple tumors. Based on our previous study that FLII might be involved in the nuclear export, we assessed the possible interaction of FLII with the nuclear envelop associating proteins Importin β and Nup88. We first constructed GST-FLII, GST-LRR recombinant plasmids and transformed them into the Rosetta strain to produce GST-FLII, GST-LRR fusion protein. After purification of these proteins, GST-pull down, as well as co-immunoprecipitation, were used to test the interaction of FLII with Importin β and Nup88. FLII interacted with Importin β and Nup88, and FLII LRR domain is responsible for these interactions. Thus, FLII may play a role in nuclear export through interaction with Importin β and Nup88.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the incidence, genotype and hematological feature of hemoglobin H (HbH) disease in West Guangxi region.
METHODS:
A total of 1246 patients diagnosed with HbH disease from January 2013 to December 2018 in our hospital were enrolled. Red blood cell parameters, hemoglobin electrophoresis, Gap-polymerase china reaction (Gap-PCR) and polymerase chain reaction-reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB) techniques were used to detect the 6 common α-thalassemia mutations and 17 common β-thalassemia mutations. The results were compared with those of other regions.
RESULTS:
The detection rate for HbH disease was 5.66%. Among the 1246 patients, 614 (49.28%) had deletion-type HbH disease, including -α
CONCLUSION
The prevalence of HbH disease is high in West Guangxi region, and the main genotypeis non-deletion. α

Objective To explore the application of structure-process-results 3D quality management model in neurology department for nursing quality management and effect evaluation. Methods The structure-process-results 3D quality management model based on Donabedian was applied on the management of neurology department. Before and after implementation, the adverse event occurrence condition, nurses' self-efficacy, satisfaction of nurses and patients were compared. Results After the implementation of structure-process-results 3D quality management model, the adverse event was 0.179‰, lower than 0.418‰ before the model applied, but the difference had no statistical significance (P>0.05); the patients' satisfaction score was (99.3±2.58)points, which was higher than that before model applied [(96.2±3.16)points]; the nurse's work satisfaction score was (109.00±17.12)points, and the nurses' self-efficacy score was (29.89±7.13)points, compared with (77.81±10.31)points and (23.05±5.98)points before the model applied, and all the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions The structure-process-results quality management model reduce adverse events rate, improve patient's satisfaction, nurse's work satisfaction and self-efficacy, and contribute clinical nursing quality as an effective method.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between the MRI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and histological grade and molecular biology of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC).
METHODSThis retrospective study included 125 patients with IDC verified by pathology from February 2010 to February 2013. Conventional MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) examination were performed using a 3.0T scanner with diffusion factor of 0 and 800 s/mm(2). The region of interest (ROI) was drawn on the largest lesion and/or its two adjacent slices. The ADC value of the whole tumor was calculated as the mean ADC value. The correlation between mean ADCs and histological grade and biological factors was analyzed.
RESULTSThe mean ADC of pathological grade I, II and III IDC was (1.152 ± 0.072)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, (1.102 ± 0.101)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, and (1.035 ± 0.107)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference among them (P = 0.003). Statistically a significant difference was observed between grade III and I (P = 0.034), grade III and II (P = 0.006), but not between grade I and II (P = 0.741). A significant correlation was observed between ADC value and pathological grade (r = -0.342, P < 0.001). The median ADC values were significantly higher in the ER-negative than in the ER-positive cases [(1.130 ± 0.115)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.060 ± 0.089) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001)], in PR-negative than in PR-positive cases [(1.121 ± 0.106)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.055 ± 0.096) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001)], and in Ki-67-negative than in Ki-67-positive cases [(1.153 ± 0.090)×10(-3) mm(2)/s vs. (1.063 ± 0.101) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, P < 0.001]. A statistically significant correlation was observed between ADC value and expressions of ER, PR, and Ki-67 (r = -0.311, r = -0.317, r = -0.414, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONADC value of breast invasive ductal carcinoma is correlated with histological grade, and expression of ER, PR and Ki-67.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of modified midline catheter-related thrombosis and propose countermeasures.Methods:Retrospective analysis was used to divide patients admitted to the neurology department of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from February 2018 to July 2020 into thrombotic group (9 cases) and nonthrombotic group (117 cases). Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for catheter-related thrombosis.Results:The incidence of thrombosis was 7.14% (9/126) in patients with modified midline catheters. Univariate analysis showed that the occurrence of catheter-related thrombosis in patients was related to the primary type ( χ2 value was 6.331, P<0.05) and catheter pretreatment ( χ2 value was 4.016, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the primary disease type and the catheter pretreatment method ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of thrombus in patients with encephalitis and pretreated catheter with normal saline is high, preventive care should be taken before the occurrence of thrombus, and thrombolytic therapy should be taken as soon as possible after the occurrence of thrombus.
