Objective To analyse the clinical usage of Shenmai injection, promote the rational use of Shenmai injection. Methods 400 hospital medical records that used Shenmai injection in 2015 were collected and reviewed from hospital information system (HIS) by retrospective analysis method, aggregated and evaluated data by EXCEL. Results In 400 cases, 11 clinical departments used the Shenmai injection, mainly in cardiology of 347 cases(86.75%).The percentage of the non-standard clinical application of Shenmai injection was 84 cases (21.00%). The non-standardized rates of solvent dispensing was 287 cases (71.75%), and the specification incompatibility accounted for 105 cases (26.25%). There was no adverse drug reaction of Shenmai injection. Conclusion The clinical use of Shenmai injection is not yet standardized, which suggests that drugs should be strictly used in accordance with the instruction, in order to avoid risks of off-label use.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression and clinical significance of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac-1) protein and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in breast cancer and their relationship with tumor stage, node metastasis status and hormone receptor status. MethodsImmunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α protein in 139 specimens of breast cancer,combined with their clinical pathological characteristics and hormone receptor status for statistical analysis.Results The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α in breast cancer tissue were 64.75 % and 65.47 %,respectively.The levels were related with the stage of TNM and histological grade (P < 0.05,P < 0.01).There was no significant correlation between these two proteins'expression and the age of patient,primary pathological location, histologic type and menstruation status of breast cancer patients(P > 0.05). The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α had no statistical significance between triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)and non-triple negative breast cancer (NTNBC) patients (x2 =1.1229,x2 =0.1786,P > 0.05); The expression level of Rac-1 was positively correlated with HIF-1α in these breast cancer specimens (rs =0.414,P < 0.01).ConclusionThe expression of Rac-1 is positively correlated with HIF-1α level in breast cancer.The relationship between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be as a new important marker to estimate the invasion,metastasis extent and prognosis in breast cancer.Blocking the regulation between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be a new treatment target in breast cancer.

Objective To assess the impact of the virus on the complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) length diversity of T cell receptor(TCR) Vβ repertoires of CD4+ T lymphocytes and to explore its association with viral load in individuals with HIV-1 infection. Methods The TCR repertoire was examined using spectratyping of CDR3 length diversity within CD4+ T cells in HIV infected and healthy adults. Separation of CD4+ T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) was carried out by using immunomagnetic beads coated with anti-CD4 antibody. Total RNAs from the purified CD4 + T lymphocytes were isolated and used to perform nested-PCR amplifications in CDR3 of 22 TCR gene families. CDR3 diversity and its association with viral load in individuals with HIV-1 infection were analyzed. Results An average diversity for all CDR3 profiles in CD4+ T cells from 25 HIV-infected individuals was significantly different as compared to 10 age-matched healthy donors (P<0.05) with the HIV-infected individuals losing diversity in the CDR3 profiles. There was positive correlation between changes in TCR CDR3 diversity and viral load (r = 0. 494, P < 0. 05). The changes in CDR3 length diversity of Vβ families in HIV-infected individuals, particular in Vβ8, Vβ22, Vβ23 were statistically different from the healthy controls. Conclusion HIV-1 infection might induce the loss of TCR Vp repertoire diversity and disrupt the CDR3 Gaussian distributions within CD4 + T cells. There should be positive correlation between changes in TCR CDR3 diversity and the viral load in HIV-1 infected patients.

Due to the ability of overcoming both the dimensionality and the collinear problems of the spectral data, partial least squares ( PLS ) is in ever increasingly used for quantitative spectrometric analysis, especially for near-infrared spectrum, mid-infrared spectrum and Raman spectrum. In this work, an improved PLS algorithm is proposed for efficient information extraction and noise reduction. The spectral variables are clustering to several subsets, and several sub-models are built for each subset. Then, the sub-models are re-weighted and ensemble to the final model. Experiments on two near-infrared datasets ( octane number prediction in gasoline and nicotine prediction in tobacco leafs ) demonstrate that the new method provides superior prediction performance and outperformed the conventional PLS algorithm, and the root mean square error of prediction ( RMSEP) is reduced by 32% and 22%, respectively.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical efficacy of dorsal mosaic surgery with penis free flap for the treatment of anterior urethral stricture after TURP.
Methods:
We analyzed the clinical data of the patients with anterior urethral stricture after TURP from January 2010 to December 2017 in Yan′an hospital affiliated to Kunming medical university retrospectively. The patients' age ranged from 58 to 75 years, with an average of 64.3 years. The time from TURP to the diagnosis of anterior urethral stricture was 1-12 month, with an average of 3.5 months. 5 cases were urethral stricture at penis segment, 11 cases were urethral stricture at the junction of penis and scrotum, and the length of the narrow urethra was 2-5 cm, with an average of 3.4cm. The average maximum uroflowmetry in preoperative was (5.3±2.7) ml/s.11 cases were treated with regular urethral dilatation and the treatment durable time was more than 6 months, 5 cases were treated with intraurethral incision combined with urethral dilatation(1 or 2 times). 16 cases were not effective after receiving the above treatment, so that all cases were treated with dorsal mosaic surgery with penis free flap. Subarachnoid anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia, the patient took the supine position.The distal end of urethral stricture was defined by urethral dilator. Incision from the ventral side of the urethra. The length of the incision was extended 0.5 cm based on the length of urethral stricture in urethral angiography.Anatomize the left and right sides of the urethral stricture and longitudinally incision the ventral side of the urethral cavernous body. The length of the incision was extended 0.5 cm to the normal urethral mucosa. The traction line retracts the ventral urethral edge along both sides.The corresponding medial line of the dorsal urethra was incised to the tunica albuginea, and the urethral edge of the dorsal side was separated from the tunica albuginea to form an elliptical region on the tunica albuginea.According to the size of the ellipse, the full thickness of the penis flap was taken, and the size of the flap was beyond the edge of the elliptical area about 0.3 cm.The free flap was covered with the 6-0 absorbable suture on the elliptical area (the skin surface was on the inner side of the urethra), the edge of the free flap was intermittently sutured with the urethral edge of the dorsal side, Multi-needle intermittent sutured flap surface on the corpus cavernosum bed.Using a silicone catheter as the stent tube of the new urethra, the 6-0 absorbable suture closes the ventral side of the incisional urethral sponge.The multi-layered meat film was sutured to prevent leakage of urine, and the fascia and skin were sutured layer by layer. The 5-0 absorbable thread sutures the wound after the foreskin was taken.
Results:
The operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 90-120 min, with an average of 102.3 min. The intraoperative blood loss was 10-30 ml. The symptoms of dysuria were relieved in all patients after removal of the catheter at 3 weeks postoperative. 4 weeks after surgery, no signs of urethral stricture were observed in urethrography. And the maximum flow rate was >15 ml/s in 13 cases, while 3 cases was 10-15 ml/s. The mean maximum flow rate in postoperative was [(20.4±7.3) ml/s], which was significantly higher than that in preoperative (

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of parastomal hernia after colostomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 145 patients undergoing colostomy in Xinxiang Central Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were collected. There were 86 males and 59 females, aged(59±11) years. Patients received pelvic and abdominal computed tomography once every 6 months after colostomy to detect the occurrence of parastomal hernia. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and chi-square test or Fisher exact probability was used for comparison between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the cumulative annual incidence of parastomal hernia. Logarithmic rank test was used to analyze the cumulative incidence based on clinical variables. COX proportional hazard regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy. All the 145 patients were followed up for 86(range, 60?108)months after colostomy, of which 46 cases had parastomal hernia and 99 cases had no parastomal hernia. There were significant differences in gender, age, body mass index (BMI) and chronic liver disease between patients with and without parastomal hernia after colostomy ( χ2=23.28, t=13.27, χ2=6.17, 5.82, P<0.05). (2) Annual cumulative incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year cumulative incidence of parastromal hernia after colostomy was 8.5%, 26.4% and 42.7%, respectively. When the follow-up time is more than 5 years, the incidence of parastromal hernia tended to be stable. The 5-year incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy in female patients was higher than that in male patients (70.7% vs 20.3%, χ2=12.37, P<0.05). The 5-year incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy in patients≥60 years old was higher than that in patients under 60 years old (49.8% vs 20.0%, χ2=10.52, P<0.05). The 5-year incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy in patients with BMI >28 kg/m 2 was higher than that in patients with BMI ≤28 kg/m 2 (55.3% vs 33.2%, χ2=11.76, P<0.05). The 5-year incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy in patients with chronic liver disease was higher than that in patients with non-chronic liver disease (45.2% vs 32.4%, χ2=15.32, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of risk factors for parastomal hernia after colostomy. Results of multivariate analysis showed that female, age >60 years old, BMI ≥28 kg/m 2 and chronic liver disease were independent risk factors for parastomal hernia after colostomy ( hazard ratio=2.70, 2.51, 1.85, 5.88, 95% confidence intervals as 1.39?6.74, 1.01?4.59, 1.02?4.87, 1.05?8.24, P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of parastomal hernia after colostomy is increasing year by year, and tends to be stable after 5 years. Female, age >60 years old, BMI≥28 kg/m 2, and chronic liver disease are independent risk factors for parastomal hernia after colostomy.

【Objective】 To summarize and analyze the clinical data of fumarate hydrase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-RCC), so as to improve the understanding of the disease. 【Methods】 General clinical data of 12 FH-RCC patients treated during Mar.2019 and Dec.2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including the imaging, pathological, genetic testing, surgical and adjuvant therapy, and follow-up results. 【Results】 All cases were confirmed with pathology or genetic tests, including 1 case complicated with uterine fibroids, 3 cases with renal cysts, 4 with family history of uterine fibroids and 2 with family history of renal carcinoma. Cysticular irregular density shadows with an enhancement of 25.8 Hu were detected in 4 cases. Of the 7 cases undergoing genetic testing, 2 had embryo and system mutation, 1 had germ line mutation, 1 had system mutation, and 3 had no germ line or system mutation. Radical nephrotomy was performed in 9 cases. The average operation time was 3.8 h, and the average amount of blood loss was 625 mL. Immunotherapy with targeted therapy was conducted in 10 cases, surgery with postoperative adjuvant therapy in 7 cases, and tyrosine kinase inhibitor with immune checkpoint inhibitor (TKI/ICI) in 1 case. All 12 cases were followed up, 3 died of tumor, 1 had no recurrence, 8 showed progress on imaging. 【Conclusion】 FH-RCC is a rare and highly malignancy prone to metastasis. Imaging shows cystic solid space occupying lesions. FH immunohistochemical staining is negative. Genetic testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis. TKI/ICI combination therapy has a good survival benefit.

Objective To investigate the effect of asiaticoside on blood pressure and relaxation of thoracic aorta in rats and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods SD rats treated with 50 and 100 mg/kg asiaticoside by daily gavage for 2 weeks were monitored for systolic blood pressure changes,and histological changes of the thoracic aorta were evaluated using HE staining.In isolated rat endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded thoracic aorta rings,the effects of asiaticoside on relaxation of the aortic rings were tested at baseline and following norepinephrine(NE)-and KCl-induced constriction.The vascular relaxation effect of asiaticoside was further observed in NE-stimulated endothelium-intact rat aortic rings pretreated with L-nitroarginine methyl ester,indomethacin,zinc protoporphyrin Ⅸ,tetraethyl ammonium chloride,glibenclamide,barium chloride,Iberiotoxin,4-aminopyridine,or TASK-1-IN-1.The aortic rings were treated with KCl and NE followed by increasing concentrations of CaCl2 to investigate the effect of asiaticoside on vasoconstriction induced by external calcium influx and internal calcium release.Results Asiaticoside at 50 and 100 mg/kg significantly lowered systolic blood pressure in rats without affecting the thoracic aorta histomorphology.While not obviously affecting resting aortic rings with intact endothelium,asiaticoside at 100 mg/kg induced significant relaxation of the rings constricted by KCl and NE,but its effects differed between endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded rings.In endothelium-intact aortic rings pretreated with indomethacin,ZnPP Ⅸ,barium chloride,glyburide,TASK-1-IN-1 and 4-aminopyridine,asiaticoside did not produce significant effect on NE-induced vasoconstriction,and tetraethylammonium,Iberiotoxin and L-nitroarginine methyl ester all inhibited the relaxation effect of asiaticoside.In KCl-and NE-treated rings,asiaticoside obviously inhibited CaCl2-induced vascular contraction.Conclusion Asiaticoside induces thoracic aorta relaxation by mediating high-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel opening,promoting nitric oxide release from endothelial cells and regulating Ca2+ influx and outflow,thereby reducing systolic blood pressure in rats.
