Objective To study the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation on functional recovery of the injured rats spinal cord.Methods MSCs labeled with Brdu were transplanted into rats model of spinal cord half-transection injury.The open-field BBB scoring system was employed to evaluate behavioral changes.MSCs' survival after transplantation was identified by BrdU immunohisto chemistry.We observed the reconstruction of neuronal circuits by HRP coloration.The recovery of transduction function after spinal injury was examined by cortex somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP).Results Treated rats generally showed better functional recovery than control rats after operation.BrdU-positive cells could be found in the spinal cord injury site one week after transplantation.At two months after transplantation, HRP-positive cells could be found at rostral of the spinal cord injury site of treated rats, but not be found in control.CSEP could be evoked at treated rats from two months after transplantation,but not in controls.Conclusion MSCs may survive in the spinal cord injury site via local injection immediately after spinal cord injury, and may promote regeneration of the injured axons.

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment of infective endocarditis with vegetations in pregnant women and the outcomes of the gestation. Methods Nine cases of pregnant women diagnosed as infective endocarditis with vegetations in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2001 to October 2015 were enrolled in retrospective analysis. Consultations were held by doctors from department of obstetrics, anesthesiology, cardiology, cardial surgery and extracorporeal circulation to decide the individualized treatment plan for the 9 cases of pregnant women after admissions. Clinical treatments including general treatment, anti-infection treatment, cardiac surgery, and termination of pregnancy surgery were completed through collaboration among related departments. The clinical characters, therapeutic regimens, maternal and neonatal outcomes of the 9 cases were analyzed. Results (1)Clinical characters: the ages of the 9 cases of pregnant women were from 25 to 36 years old. The onset gestational ages were from 19 to 36 weeks. Clinical symptoms: fever, cough, sputum and progressive anemia were the main symptoms. Patients had cyanosis of lips, could not lie on the back or even be orthopnea, when heart failure happened. Heart murmur was audible and splenomegaly was touched in physical examination. Blood cultures were positive. Basic heart disease types: 7 cases of congenital heart diseases included 2 cases of aortic insufficiency, 1 case of mitral insufficiency, 1 case of patent ductus arteriosus, 1 case of right ventricular outflow tract stenosis and 2 cases of ventricular septal defect.Two cases of rheumatic heart diseases included 1 case of mitral stenosis, 1 case of mitral stenosis after artificial disc changed and jammed. According to endocardial vegetations attached position there were 3 cases of mitral valve vegetations, 2 cases of pulmonary valve vegetations, 3 cases of aortic vegetations and 1 case of right ventricular outflow tract neoplasm. Preoperative heart function classification:1 case of levelⅡ, 3 cases of levelⅢ, 5 cases of levelⅣ.(2)Treatments:general treatment included oxygen uptake, rest in bed, cardiac strengthen and diuretic therapy, etc. Combined and adequate antibiotics were applied in anti-infection treatment according to drug sensitive test. Nine cases of pregnant women were all performed surgical treatment of heart diseases and removal of the endocardial vegetations. Caesarean sections were performed for 2 cases in second trimester and for 7 cases in last trimester. Cardiac surgery and caesarean section were operated in 6 cases at the same time among 22-34 weeks of pregnancy. Cardiac surgery were respectively operated in 2 cases 11 days and 32 days after the caesarean section at 33, 37 weeks of pregnancy. While Cardiac surgery was operated (at 26 weeks of pregnancy) before the caesarean section (at 37 weeks of pregnancy) in another 1 case. (3) Maternal and neonatal outcomes:7 cases of pregnant women were rescued successfully, while 2 cases of pregnant women were death. Postoperative heart function classification: 1 case of level Ⅰ, 2 cases of levelⅡ, 4 cases of levelⅢand 2 cases of levelⅥ. Neonatal survivals were 6 cases including 2case of full-term infants, 4 cases of preterm infants. Stillbirth or neonatal death were 3 cases, which included 2 cases performed caesarean section in second trimester and 1 case of very low weight infant who was given up treatment by family because of severe asphyxia. Followed up periods were from 1 to 7 years with an average time of (2.0 ± 1.6) years. Infants and young children grew and developed well during the period of follow up. Conclusions The risk is extremely high of pregnancy with infective endocarditis with vegetations. But there is still a way to save the maternal and neonatal life by using a multidisciplinary collaboration formulation and implementation of individualized treatment plan and selecting the appropriate time for heart surgery and the termination of pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the effect of the different position on hemodynamic moni-tored by FloTrac/Vigileo system in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy.Methods Sixty patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into three groups (n=20):group A,B and C underwent the trendelenburg position of 10 degrees,20 degrees and 30 degrees,respectively.HR,MAP,cardiac output (CO),cardiac index (CI)and stroke volume (SV)were recorded before pneumoperitoneum (T0 ),1 min after pneumoperitoneum (T1 ),5 min af-ter trendelenburg position (T2 ),20 min after pneumoperitoneum (T3 ),1 min after the end of pneu-moperitoneum (T4 )and 5 min after the end of trendelenburg position (T5 )after induction of anesthe-sia.The time of pneumoperitoneum and operation was recorded.Results Compared with T0 ,HR and MAP increased significantly at T1-T3 in three groups(P<0.05);Compared with group C,CO and SV decreased significantly at T2-T3 in group A and group B (P<0.05).Compared with T1 ,CO and SV increased at T2-T3 in group C (P<0.05).Compared with group C,the time of pneumoperitoneum and operation was longer in group A and B (P<0.05).Conclusion During the operation of laparo-scopic appendectomy,the change of the hemodynamic is in clinical safe range,and the time of pneu-moperitoneum and operation is shorter in the position of 30°than 10°and 20°in laparoscopic appen-dectomy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of chidamide combined with BEAC (camustine+etoposide+ cytarabine+cyclophosphamide) preconditioning regimen in high-risk or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving autologous stem cell transplantation.Methods:The clinical data of 10 high-risk or refractory DLBCL patients with autologous stem cell transplantation after receiving chidamide combined with BEAC preconditioning regimen who were admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from March 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The related complications during preconditioning and hematopoietic reconstruction process, the time of hematopoietic stem cell reconstruction after transplantation, and the short-term efficacy were summarized.Results:Of the 10 patients, 6 were women and 4 were men; the median age was 58 years old (27-68 years old). Hematopoietic reconstruction was achieved in all 10 patients after transplantation. The median time of neutrophil engraftment was 11 d (range 7-12 d), and the median time of platelet engraftment was 12 d (range 9-16 d) after transplantation. Hematological adverse reactions were described as follows: 2 cases had grade 3 febrile neutropenia, 1 case had grade 4 febrile neutropenia, 3 cases had grade 2 anemia, and 1 case had grade 3 anemia. Non-hematological adverse reactions were described as follows: 1 case had grade 2 nausea with vomiting, and 1 case had diarrhea. Eight patients were followed-up for >3 months after transplantation, 6 patients achieved complete remission, 1 patient achieved partial remission, and 1 patient with TP53 deletion developed disease progression 1 month after transplantation.Conclusions:Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with chidamide combined with BEAC preconditioning regimen is effective for patients with high-risk or refractory DLBCL, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship of Cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4* 18 gene polymorphism with therapeutic efficacy and ADR of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving primary treatment.METHODS:A total of 46 advanced NSCLC patients receiving primary EGFR-TKI (gefitinib or edotinib) treatment until disease progression or intolerance were selected from our hospital during Jan.2013-Mar.2016,and (gefitinib of erlotinib) treatment until disease progression or intolerance.CYP3A4*18 genotype was detected by PCR and direct sequencing.Clinical efficacies,progression-free survival (PFS) and the occurrence of ADR were compared among differ ent genotypes.RESULTS:Among 46 patients,there were 17 cases of CYP3A4*18 wild-type and 29 cases of CYP3A4*18 mutation-type,with mutation frequency of 63.0％.The objective response rate (ORR) of CYP3A4*18 wild-type patients was 23.5％,and disease control rate (DCR) of them was 70.6％.For CYP3A4*18 mutation-type patients,ORR and DCR were 27.6％ and 69.0％.There was no statistical significance in the proportion of patients with partial response,stable disease or progressive dis ease,ORR or DCR among different genotypes (P＞0.05).PFS of female patients were significantly longer than male patients;those of patients without smoking history were significantly longer than those with smoking history,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no correlation between patients' age,therapy drugs,Eastern Oncology Collaboration scores,EGFR mutation types,CYP3A4*18 genotypes and PFS (P＞0.05).Patients'gender and smoking history were independent prognostic factors for PFS [odds ratios were 3.438,0.205,95％ CI were(1.393,8.488),(0.088,0.481)].Among CYP3A4* 18 wild-type patients,6 patients suffered from rash (35.3％) and 3 diarrhea (17.6％).Among mutation-type patients,26 patients suffered from rash (89.7％) and 15 diarrhea (51.7％),with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the incidence of liver function injury and interstitial dermatitis among different genotypes (P＞0.05).CONCLUSIONS:CYP3A4*18 gene polymorphism may be not associated with therapeutic efficacy of EGFR-TKI in advanced NSCLC patients receiving primary treatment,but it is correlated with the occurrence of ADR.Mutation type patients are more likely to suffered from rash,diarrhea and other ADR.

Objective To investigate the spontaneous activity of brain neurons in patients with obsessive－compulsive disorder (OCD) under resting state. Methods Forty－eight OCD patients and 50 age－, gender－ and year of education－matched normal controls were enrolled. All the subjects underwent 3.0 T fMRI to acquire resting state brain image. The brain regions with significant differences in amplitude of low－frequency fluctuation (ALFF) between patients and controls were analyzed. Whole－brain functional connectivity (FC) were analyzed using the brain regions with significant differences as seed points, and the correlation between brain regions with significant differences in ALFF and FC analysis and obsessive－compulsive symptoms was analyzed. Results Compared to the control group, the ALFF of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex increased in patients with OCD (t=4.305, P＜0.001). Compared to the controls, the analysis of whole－brain FC (based on MNI template) with the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as the regions of interest showed that the FC strength between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and right orbital inferior frontal cortex (t=3.897, P＜0.001), left anterior cingulate cortex (t=3.370, P＜0.001), right anterior cingulate cortex (t=4.299, P＜0.001), left middle cingulate cortex (t=3.220, P＜0.001), right middle cingulate cortex (t=4.607, P＜0.001) enhanced; the FC strength between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the left opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus (t=－4.630, P＜0.001) weakened in patients with OCD. The FC between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the left opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with obsessions score(r=－0.369, P=0.014), compulsions score (r=－0.392, P=0.009) and total score (r=－0.393, P=0.008) of the Yale－Brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y－BOCS). Conclusion In patients with OCD, spontaneous neural activity of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is enhanced in resting state, and the FC with multiple brain regions is abnormal. The FC strength between the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the left opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus is associated with obsessive－compulsive symptoms.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between ribonucleotide reductase M1 subunit (RRM1) single nucleo-tide polymorphisms (SNPs) and chemotherapy sensitivity of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for gemcitabine. METHODS:A total of 96 NSCLC patients receiving primary treatment selected from our hospital during Aug. 2014-Jul. 2016 were all accepted gemcitabine-based two-drug chemotherapy plan,with continuous treatment for at least 2 cycles(28 d as a cycle). Che-motherapy sensitivity rate was calculated by using the ratio of the sum of patients with complete response and partial response to the sum of test patients. RRM1 genotype was tested by PCR and direct sequencing. The correlation between different genotypes and chemotherapy sensitivity was analyzed. RESULTS:Distribution frequency of RRM1-37C>A CC, CA, AA genotype were 35.42％,52.08％,12.50％,respectively;distribution frequency of-524C>T CC,CT,TT genotype were 18.75％,37.50％, 43.75％,respectively. The frequency of each genotype was in the line with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(P>0.05). Chemotherapy sensitivity rate of 96 NSCLC patients was 37.50％. The patient's age,sex,ethnicity,smoking or not,TNM stage,pathological type,chemotherapy plan,and the Eastern American Oncology Collaboration score were not associated with chemotherapy sensitivi-ty (P>0.05). Chemotherapy sensitivity rates of RRM1(-37CA)+(-524CT)genotype and (-37CC)+(-524TT) genotype patients (57.14％,39.39％) were significantly higher than those of other genotype patients (10.71％),with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in chemotherapy sensitivity rate between RRM1(-37CA)+(-524CT) and (-37CC)+(-524TT)genotype patients. CONCLUSIONS:In NSCLC patients,the SNPs of RRM1 can be used as predictive factor for the sen-sitivity of gemcitabine chemotherapy,and RRM1(-37CA)+(-524CT)and(-37CC)+(-524TT)genotype patients have higher sensi-tivity to this type of chemotherapy.

Objective To study the influencing factors of clinical outcome in elderly acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients after intravenous thrombolysis.Methods One hundred and fifty-one AIS patients admitted to our hospital for intravenous thrombolysis were divided into good outcome group (n=77) and poor outcome group (n=74) according to their modified Rankin scale score 3 months after the onset of AIS.The baseline data,thrombolysis time window,NIHSS score and ischemic stroke typing before thrombolysis,early symptom improvement,cerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis were compared between the two groups.Results The serum levels of blood glucose and CRP,NIHSS score≥9 before thrombolysis,incidence of AF and cerebral hemorrhage were significantly higher in poor outcome group than in good outcome group (P＜ 0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score,OCSP typing,blood glucose before thrombolysis,24 h symptom improvement were the independent influencing factors of clinical outcome in elderly AIS patients (OR =1.262,95 ％ CI:1.075-1.482,P =0.005;OR =0.203,95％CI:0.066-0.628,P=0.006;OR=1.264,95％CI:1.042-1.532,P=0.017;OR=25.764,95％CI:5.131-129.361,P=0.000).Conclusion NIHSS score,OCSP typing,blood glucose before thrombolysis and 24 h symptom improvement are the independent influencing factors of clinical outcome in elderly AIS patients after intravenous thrombolysis.

Objective:To investigate cases of delayed lactation initiation in women with transvaginal delivery and the influencing factors, in order to provide a basis for effective control of delayed lactation initiation and promotion of breastfeeding.Methods:Inpatients who were admitted to the obstetric ward of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from November 6, 2020 to January 16, 2021 were selected for the study using convenience sampling method and investigated by general information questionnaire and Chindbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ). Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors influencing delayed lactation initiation.Results:The incidence of delayed lactation initiation in 622 women with transvaginal delivery was 38.75% (241/622). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age 20-35 years, full-term delivery, labor and delivery, use of labor analgesia, and good experience of transvaginal delivery were protective factors for delayed lactation initiation ( OR values were 0.012 to 0.868, all P<0.05); age >35 years, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, presence of pregnancy complications, use of induction of labor during delivery, long labor process, and damage to perineal skin after delivery were risk factors for delayed lactation initiation ( OR values were 1.097 to 13.235, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The high incidence of delayed lactation initiation in women with transvaginal delivery is influenced by a number of factors, which reminds the clinic that lactation in women after transvaginal delivery also needs to be taken into account, with priority assessment and prevention for those who are elderly (age≥35 years), primiparous, have other diseases during pregnancy, have gained too much weight during pregnancy, have preterm delivery, have a long duration of labor, have not received labor analgesia, have had a single or combined induction of labor, have had an episiotomy or perineal laceration during labor, and have a poor transvaginal delivery experience.

Objective To investigate the association of red cell distribution width (RDW) with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 207 patients who initiated CAPD for more than 3 months between July 2005 and March 2016 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University.Baseline data on demographic,clinical and biochemical variables as well as comorbidities were obtained;medications and clinic outcomes were recorded.According to receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis,patients were divided into high RDW (RDW ＞ 15.1％) and low RDW (RDW≤ 15.1％) groups.The data of two groups were compared and Spearman's correlation analysis was used to explore the association of RDW with clinical and biochemical parameters.Survival curves were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.Cox regression model was employed to analyze risk factors of all-cause and CVD-related mortality.Results In this study,207 CAPD patients were enrolled.The overall median survival time was 80 months.And the median survival time of high RDW group (68 patients) and low RDW group (139 patients) were 59 months and 96 months,respectively.There were statistical differences in diastole pressure,hemoglobin,hematocrit,serum albumin,intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH),eGFR,cholesterol,lipoprotein a,4-hour dialysate-to-plasma ratio for creatinine (4hD/Pcr),total Ccr (P ＜ 0.05,respectively);the two groups also varied in the proportion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,cardiovascular disease and hyperlipidemia,as well as in the use of iron supplements,angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARB),and beta-receptor blockers (P＜0.05,respectively).Cardiovascular event was a leading cause of mortality.Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the high RDW group had higher all-cause and CVD-related mortality compared with the low RDW group (P ＜ 0.01).The 1-year,3-year,and 5-year patient survivals of the high RDW and low RDW group were 87.97％ vs 97.01％,58.02％ vs 81.53％,and 41.62％ vs 67.96％,respectively,demonstrating significant differences (P=0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high RDW was independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (HR=1.212,95％CI:1.007-1.458,P=0.042) and CVD-related mortality (HR=1.697,95％ CI:1.030-2.795,P=0.038).Conclusion RDW is associated with mortality risks in CAPD patients and can be stratified as a valuable indicator for the risk of death.
