To investigate the correlation between p16 gene mutation and laryngeal cancer biological behavior as well as its prognosis in laryngeal cancer.Method:24 speciments of primary laryngeal cancer and 10 speciments with benign lesion in larynx were examined for mutations in exon2 of p16 by using PCR-SSCP silver stainning technique.Result:Mutations frequency of laryngeal cancer was62.5% (15/24).Nothing was found in 10 cases with laryngeal benign lesion.Conclusion:There is a strong correlation between p16 gene mutation and the biological behavior of chinese laryngeal cancer, such as histologic differentiation, invasion stage, and regional lymph nodes metastasis(P≤0.05).PCR-SSCP silver tainning technique is one of the most sensitive and simplest measure for detecting genetic mutation.It is worth using in clinical laboratory because of its readiness, repetition and lower cost.

Objective To evaluate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein transduction on acute lung injury in septic rats.Methods Eighteen healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7-9 weeks,weighing 210-260 g,were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),sepsis group (group Sep),and fusion protein PEP-1-HO-1 group (group HO).Sepsis was produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).In group HO,PEP-1-HO-1 fusion protein 0.6 mg was injected via the left iliac vein at 1 h before CLP and 5 h after CLP.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead of PEP-1-HO-1 in Sham and Sep groups.At 12 h after CLP,blood samples were collected from the right common carotid artery for measurement of serum tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed,and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content (by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method).Results Compared with group Sham,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly increased,the serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly increased (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly aggravated in Sep and HO groups.Compared with group Sep,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly decreased,the serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group HO.Conclusion HO-1 protein transduction can attenuate acute lung injury in septic rats,and the mechanism is probably related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation in lung tissues and systemic inflammatory responses.

Objective: To investigate eating behavior and associated family factors of preschool children during the prevalence of Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19), and to provide scientific basis for healthy eating behavior for preschool children. Methods: A total of 1 829 preschool children were investigated by electronic questionnaire from 5 kindergartens in Shenzhen from March 18-20, 2020. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform logistic regression analysis on the factors for eating behavior. Results: The rate of unhealthy eating behavior during the prevalence of COVID-19 was 47.2%. The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors in boys and girls were 46.1% and 48.4%, respectively. And there was no significant difference between different genders(χ 2=1.02，P=0.31). The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children aged 3-, 4-, 5- and 6- were 56.6%, 56.8%, 42.3% and 29.9%, respectively, and the differences between different ages were significant(χ 2=72.17，P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that fathers high education level, mothers education level(OR=0.78，0.77，0.21), and parents satisfaction with children s eating were associated with low nutritional problems of child, while parental permission to play while eating, criticize while eating, force child to eat more and force child to eat foods they do not like, and parental concerns about children s appetite, were associated with more unhealthy eating behavior(OR=6.29，1.80，2.20，1.70，2.16)(P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children during the prevalence of COVID-19 is lower than usual, but the health education of preschool children s families still needs to be strengthened.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic status and characteristics of human brucellosis in Ordos City, and to provide basis for formulating perfect prevention and control countermeasures of brucellosis.Methods:The data of reported human brucellosis cases in Ordos City from 2016 to 2020 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the distributions of time, region and population.Results:Totally 2 861 cases of human brucellosis were reported in Ordos City from 2016 to 2020. The average annual incidence rate was 27.68/100 000 and no deaths. The incidence rate of human brucellosis decreased year by year from 2016 to 2018 (24.11/100 000, 20.82/100 000, 20.11/100 000). But the incidence rate began to pick up in 2019 (24.59/100 000) and rose to 48.53/100 000 in 2020. The incidence peak was from March to August (1 882 cases). The cases had been reported in all over 9 banners (districts) of the city. The cumulative number of reported cases from more to less was Hangjin Banner, Dalat Banner, Otog Front Banner, Jungar Banner, Otog Banner, Dongsheng District, Wushen County, Ejin Horo Banner and Kangbashi District. The cases were predominantly male, and the sex ratio of male to female was 2.23∶1.00 (1 974 ∶ 887). The onset was mainly young and middle-aged adults, and the age was mainly 30-69 years old (2 541 cases). Farmers accounted for 65.26% (1 867 cases) in all reported cases, followed by herdsmen, accounting for 18.98% (543 cases).Conclusions:There is an obvious upward trend of human brucellosis in Ordos City in recent years, mainly among young and middle-aged male farmers. Health education for key populations should be strengthened, as well as personal protection during high-risk operations.

Objective:To explore the association of peripheral blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio(NLR) with primary osteoporosis (POP) in Chinese elderly women.Methods:From December 2015 to April 2019, a total of 788 elderly women in Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital were included in this study.They were divided into three groups according to bone mineral density: 242 cases of osteopenia, 206 cases of normal bone mineral density and 340 cases of osteoporosis.Their height, weight, statuses of bone of left femoral neck and results of blood tests were recorded, and the values of BMI, NLR and OSTA were calculated.The SPSS statistics software was used to analyze the differences of parameters among the three groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to get significant independent related factors for osteoporosis.The relationship of NLR and OSTA with T-score of left femoral neck was confirmed by Pearson correlation test.ROC curves were used to define the values of NLR and OSTA in diagnosis of osteoporosis.Results:There were statistically significant differences in age(median values: 66, 68 and 70, χ 2=71.596, P<0.001), BMI(median values: 23.46, 24.04 and 25.415, χ 2=64.936, P<0.001) and NLR(median values: 1.97, 2.435 and 2.84, χ 2=106.218, P<0.001) among the three groups(all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, BMI and NLR were all independent significant related factors.There was correlation of NLR, OSTA with T-score of left femoral neck.In diagnosis of osteoporosis, the cut-off value, maximum Youden index, sensitivity and specificity were 2.395, 0.299, 70.3%, 59.6% for NLR, and -1.315, 0.174, 73.6%, 43.5% for OSTA. Conclusion:NLR has intermediate sensitivity and specificity in screening POP in Chinese elderly women, and deserves future researches.

Objective: To explore the correlation between the severity of gastroesophageal reflux cough and degree of gastroesophageal reflux. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was carried out. Data of 174 cases of chronic cough were collected in Children's Hospital of Fuzhou from March 2009 to December 2016. The esophageal 24 hours pH value dynamic monitoring was used to detect gastric acid reflux index. Cases with abnomal results were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups according to severity of reflux and that of day and night cough symptoms, respectively. They were also divided into infant (1-3 years old), preschool (4-6 years old), and school age (>7 years old) groups according to age. Comparative analysis between groups by chi-square test and rank sum test were performed. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between cough severity and gastroesophageal reflux index. Results: A total of 174 patients with chronic cough, including 115 males and 59 females, aged from 1 to 15 years with an average age of (8.5±2.3) years, and (1.6±0.8) years of disease duration were enrolled. Among them, 129 cases (74.1%) were positive for esophageal reflux test and 45 cases (25.9%) with no obvious pathological gastroesophageal reflux. Patients with positive esophageal reflux test were divided into severe (n=37, 28.7%), moderate (n=23, 17.8%), and mild (n=69, 53.5%). There was no significant difference in the distribution of gastroesophageal reflux in each age group. (The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in infants were 45.0% (9/20), 25.0% (5/20), and 30.0% (6/20), respectively. The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in preschool children were 53.3% (32/60), 16.7% (10/60), 30.0% (18/60), respectively. The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in school age children were 57.1% (28/49), 16.3% (8/49), 26.5% (13/49), respectively χ²=1.204, P=0.877). There was no correlation between age group and gastroesophageal reflux (r=-0.065, P=0.489).The severity of nighttime cough was positively correlated with percentages of distal esophagus pH≤4 in time, recumbent pH≤4 in time, and DeMeester score<14.72 (r=0.689, 0.621, and 0.707 respectively, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between the severity of nighttime cough symptoms and percentage of standing pH≤4 in time (r=0.113, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant correlation between the severity of daytime cough and all gastroesophageal reflux markers (all P>0.05). Conclusion The severity of nocturnal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux cough is related to the degree of gastroesophageal reflux, to which clinical pediatricians should pay attention.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and postoperative delirium (POD) in the patients undergoing total knee/hip arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 625 patients, aged 50-90 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing total knee and hip arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia from September 2021 to February 2022, were included.One day before surgery, the cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale.The patients were divided into non-MCI group (NMCI group) and MCI group according to the diagnostic criteria of MCI.The concentrations of amyloid beta 40 (Aβ40), amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42), total tau protein (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau protein (P-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The development of POD was assessed on 1-7 days after operation.The relationship between MCI and POD and relationship of concentrations of β40, Aβ42, T-tau and P-tau in CSFA, Aβ40/T-tau ratio, Aβ42/P-tau ratio and Aβ42/T-tau ratio with POD and MCI were analyzed using binary logistic regression.Results:Compared with NMCI group, the incidence of POD was significantly increased, the concentrations of Aβ42 and Aβ40 in CSF, Aβ40/T-tau ratio, Aβ42/P-tau ratio and Aβ42/T-tau ratio were decreased, and T-tau and P-tau concentrations in CSF were increased in MCI group ( P<0.05).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that before and after adjusting for confounding factors, increased MCI and concentrations of P-tau and T-tau in CSF were the risk factors for POD, and increased concentrations of Aβ42 and Aβ40 in CSF, Aβ40/T-tau ratio, Aβ42/P-tau ratio and Aβ42/T-tau ratio were protective factors for POD ( P<0.05); elevated concentrations of P-tau and T-tau in CSF were risk factors for MCI before and after adjusting for confounding factors, and increased concentrations of Aβ4 in CSF, Aβ40/T-tau ratio, Aβ42/P-tau ratio, and Aβ42/T-tau ratio were protective factors for MCI after adjusting for confounding factors ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative MCI are risk factors for POD in the patients undergoing total knee/hip arthroplasty.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative serum albumin concentrations and postoperative delirium (POD) in the patients undergoing total knee/hip arthroplasty.Methods:Five hundred patients of both sexes, aged 50-90 yr, with body mass index of 50-80 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective total knee or hip replacement under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia in our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022, were selected. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected after successful subarachnoid puncture for determination of amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42), total tau protein (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau protein (P-tau) concentrations using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Confusion Assessment Method and Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale were used to evaluate the occurrence and severity of POD at 1-7 days after surgery (or before discharge), and the patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group (NPOD group). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for POD. The accuracy of plasma albumin concentration and CSF biomarker concentration in predicting POD was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the mediating effect of CSF biomarker was analyzed.Results:A total of 343 patients were finally enrolled in the study, and the incidence of POD was 23.3%. There were statistically significant differences in age, preoperative plasma albumin concentration and Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale score in POD group as compared with NPOD group ( P<0.05). Before and after adjusting for confounding factors, decreased plasma albumin and increased concentrations of P-tau and T-tau in CSF before operation were the risk factors for POD, and increased concentrations of Aβ42, Aβ42/P-tau and Aβ42/T-tau ratio in CSF were protective factors for POD. The area under the ROC curve of preoperative plasma albumin concentrations in predicting POD was 0.668, and the area under the ROC curve of preoperative plasma albumin concentrations combined with CSF biomarker concentrations in predicting POD was 0.810 ( P<0.05). The direct effect of plasma albumin on POD was -0.009 869 2, the total effect was 0.029 443 7, and the mediating effect of P-tau accounted for 33.53% of the total effect. Conclusions:Decreased preoperative plasma albumin concentration is a risk factor for POD, and P-Tau in CSF serves as a key mediator in the relationship between serum albumin concentrations and postoperative delirium in the patients undergoing total knee/hip arthroplasty.
