Objective To find early diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal carcinoma by comparing differential(expressing) proteins from colorectal carcinoma and normal colorectal tissues.Methods Colorectal carcinoma tissues and paired normal tumor-adjacent colorectal tissues were collected,and tissue total protein was (extracted);differential proteome profiles were established and analysed by means of immobilized pH(gradient-based) two-dimesional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(2D-PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser(desorption)/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).Results Well-resolved,(reproducible) 2-DE profiles of human colorectal carcinoma tissues and paired normal tumor adjacent colorectal tissues were obtained.For tumor tissue,a total of 1098?28 spots were detected,and for normal tissue,760?45 spots were detected.For normal tissue,The average deviation of spot position was(0.542?(0.12))mm in IEF direction and(0.933?0.098)mm in SDS-PGE direction for tumor tissue.The average deviation of spot position was(0.745?0.130)mm in IEF direction and(1.233?0.272)mm in(SDS-PGE) direction.30 differential expressing proteins were analysed by mass spectrometry and bioinformation,16 of them were well characterized including Apolipoprotein A1(apoA1),calreticulin precursor,glutathione(S-transferase),hepatic fatty acid-binding protein、heat shock protein 27 ect.Conclusions Differential expression proteins can be candidate biomarkers for early diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma;and proteomic technique is valuable for screening the diagnostic biomarkers.

Objective To investigate the nutritional status of vitamin D in preterm infants after birth and further explore its possible influencing factors, so as to guide clinical vitamin D therapy and to screen the preterm infants who are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in the neonatal department of our hospital from April 21st, 2014 to February 5th, 2016.The serum 25(OH)D level in preterm infants were measured 2 weeks after birth.Data including gender, season of birth, time to initiation of breastfeeding were collected.According to the 25(OH)D levels[25(OH)D≤37.5 nmol/L, 37.5 nmol/L≤50.0 nmol/L, and 25(OH)D>50.0 nmol/L], all the preterm infants were divided into three groups: vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency groups.The influencing factors of vitamin D in preterm infants were screened by using statistical method.Results The mean 25(OH)D level of 172 preterm infants was (43.1±16.7)nmol/L.In vitamin D deficient, insufficient, and sufficient groups, there were 68 (40％), 50 (29％) and 54(31％) cases of preterm babies, respectively.The mean values of 25(OH)D in these three groups were (27.8±16.7)nmol/L, (42.4±3.4)nmol/L, and (63.0±11.7)nmol/L, respectively.Only the season of birth had significant difference among three groups (P=0.013): 44.2％ of the preterm infants born in winter had vitamin D deficiency, which was higher than those in spring (41.7％), summer(33.3％), and autumn (38.1％);44.2％ of the preterm infants born in winter had vitamin D insufficiency, which was much higher than those in spring (30.6％), summer (25.1％), and autumn (19.0％);furthermore, only 11.6％ of the preterm infants born in the winter had vitamin D sufficiency, which was much lower than those in spring (27.8％), summer (41.2％), and autumn (42.9％) (OR=4.655, 95％ CI=1.716-12.627, P=0.003).Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency in preterm infants 2 weeks after birth is prevalent, and winter birth is a risk factor of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in preterm infants.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 322 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who were admitted to the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between December 2005 and November 2015 were collected.Preoperative staging and classification of tumor and treatment planning were carried out according to the results of laboratory and imaging examinations.Observation indexes:(1) clinical features and results of assisted examinations;(2) treatments and results of pathological examination;(3) followup and survival;(4) prognostic factors analysis:gender,age,preoperative highest total bilirubin (TBil),preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),preoperative CA19-9,preoperative CA242,preoperative CA125,treatment methods and TNM staging.The follow-up of outpatient examination and telephone interview was perfornmed to detect patients' survival up to November 2016.Survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method.Survival and univariate analyses were done using the Log-rank test,and multivariate analysis was done using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results (1) Clinical features and results of assisted examinations:among the 322 patients,there were 301 patients with a chief complaint of jaundice.Of the 322 patients,the preoperative highest levels of TBil,DBil,ALT and AST in 322 patients were 3.9-785.2 μmol/L,1.6-410.2 μ mol/L,14.8-484.5 U/L and 21.4-539.8 U/L,respectively.Levels of ALP and GGT in 272 patients were 93.8-1 890.0 U/L and 2.0-1 832.8 U/L,respectively.Seventy-seven of 292 patients had an elevated CEA level,272 of 298 patients had an elevated CA19-9 level,153 of 260 patients had an elevated CA242 level and 86 of 260 patients had an elevated CA125 level.According to Bismuth-Corlette type,24 patients were detected in type Ⅰ,115 in type Ⅱ,55 in type Ⅲa,63 in type Ⅲb and 65 in type Ⅳ.(2) Treatments and results of pathological examination:Of the 322 patients,104 patients underwent radical resection,including 79 with hilar bile duct resection (9 combined with vascular resection and reconstruction) and 25 with extended hepatic lobectomy (16 combined with caudate lobectomy),and 218 patients underwent palliative treatments,including 134 with external biliary drainage and 84 with internal biliary drainage.Five patients were dead in the perioperative period,of which 2 died of acute liver failure,1 died of systemic infection and multiple organ failure,1 died of acute renal failure and 1 died of acute suppurative cholangitis,septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation.Of 263 patients receiving pathological examination,adenocarcinoma was detected in 253 patients (12 with high-differentiated adenocarcinoma,85 with moderate-differentiated adenocarcinoma,33 with low-differentiated adenocarcinoma and 123 with indefinite differentiation),mucinous adenocarcinoma in 5 patients,cholangiocarcinoma in 3 patients and neuroendocrine carcinoma in 2 patients.TNM staging of 322 patients:stage Ⅰ was detected in 8 patients,stage Ⅱ in 53 patients,stage Ⅲ in 132 patients,stage Ⅳ in 96 patients and indefinite stage in 33 patients.(3) Follow up and survival:among the 322 patients,296 were followed up for 12-132 months,with a median follow-up time of 65 months,including 94 with radical resection and 202 with palliative treatments.Among the 296 patients,the median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 10 months,47.1％,20.2％ and 9.5％,respectively.0f296 patients with follow-up,median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 31 months,84.0％,46.2％,25.0％ in 94 patients receiving radical resection and 7 months,29.9％,8.1％ and 2.3％ in 202 patients receiving palliative treatment,respectively,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=78.777,P＜ 0.05).Among the 94 patients receiving follow-up and radical resection,the median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 31 months,82.1％,45.1％,25.7％ in 73 patients undergoing hilar bile duct resection and 35 months,90.5％,49.8％,22.1％ in 21 patients undergoing hepatic lobectomy,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2=0.186,P＞0.05).Among the 73 patients undergoing hilar bile duct resection,median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 16 months,57.1％,0,0 in 7 patients combined with vascular resection and reconstruction and 34 months,84.6％,49.5％,27.5％ in 66 patients undergoing simplex hilar bile duct resection,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =11.977,P＜ 0.05).(4) Prognostic factors analysis:results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative highest TBil,preoperative CEA,preoperative CA242,preoperative CA125,treatment methods and TNM staging were related factors affecting prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (x2=25.009,18.671,9.359,33.628,94.729,77.136,P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative highest TBil ≥ 342.0 μmol/L,preoperative CEA ≥ 5.00 μg/L,palliative treatments,TNM stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were the independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HR =2.270,2.147,3.166,2.351,95％ confidence interval:1.587-3.247,1.446-3.188,2.117-4.734,1.489-3.712,P＜0.05).Conclusions Prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is still unsatisfactory.The R0 resection is the key in radical surgery.Preoperative highest TBil≥342.0 μmol/L,preoperative CEA ≥ 5.00 μg/L,palliative treatments,TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ are independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Minimally degenerative nephropathy is one of the common types of primary nephrotic syndrome, and it is currently believed that B lymphocytes are closely related to its pathogenesis. Patients with refractory small degenerative kidney disease require treatment with glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressant. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that consumes B cells. Its use in the treatment of patients with refractory microdegenerative kidney disease can reduce recurrence rate, prolong remission period, and reduce hormone exposure. However, there is no consensus on the treatment plan and adverse reaction response measures, and multicenter, prospective, and large-scale research answers are still needed. This article summarizes the latest progress of rituximab in the treatment of refractory minimal degenerative kidney disease, hoping to provide assistance for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of standardized training on post competency of rehabilitation therapists, based on World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework (RCF), and combined with the characteristics of rehabilitation and the requirements of standardized training in China. MethodsFrom 2018 to 2022, a total of 30 rehabilitation therapists who participated in the standardized training were selected. Before and after the standardized training, the closed-book theoretical assessment and Mini-clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) assessment were carried out, and a 360-Degree Evaluation scale was distributed to their teachers, peers and patients. Through multi-dimensional post competency analysis, the data obtained from the scales were combined with the five dimensions of basic theoretical knowledge, clinical practice ability, medical humanities literacy, scientific research and teaching ability, and organizational management ability to analyze the effect of standardized training on post competency of rehabilitation therapists. ResultsAfter training, the therapists improved in theory and case analysis (Z > 2.716, P < 0.05). They also improved in medical interview skills, physical examination, humane care/professionalism, clinical judgment ability and overall clinical level (Z > 2.162, P < 0.05) according to Mini-CEX. The medical ethics, daily work, management ability, social ability, interpersonal communication ability, basic professional ability and operation ability improved (Z > 1.978, P < 0.05) according to the 360-Degree Evaluation scale. The effect of standardized training was significant in basic theoretical knowledge, clinical practice ability and medical humanities literacy by the post competency analysis model. ConclusionThe effect of standardized training of rehabilitation therapists is significant, and the therapists can be competent for daily work in diagnosis and treatment after training.
