AIM: To investigate the tumorigenicity of lung cancer by learning the accumulation of p53 and the exposure of cytokeratin 18 neo-epitope(CK-18neo) related to the clinicopathological parameters in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). METHODS: To detect the monoclonal antibodies of p53 and M30 CytoDEATH(specific antibody for CK-18neo) in 62 cases of NSCLC (included 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 33 cases of adenocarcinoma) and 10 cases of control group by adopting immunohistochemistry assay (LSAB). Moreover, the immunoreactivity of p53 was quantitatively evaluated with positive unit (PU). RESULTS: (1) p53 immunoreactivity was positive in 15 of 29 squamous cell carcinoma (51.72%), 15 of 33 adenocarcinoma (45.45%), 30 of 62 NSCLC (48.39%). In 10 control cases was negative. There were significant differences between these groups (P<0.01). (2)In 62 cases of NSCLC, AI% of M30 is 1.10%, and in 29 cases of squamous cell carcinoma is 0.95%, and in 33 cases of adenocarcinoma is 1.24%. In 10 control cases, the AI% is 1.06%. There is not significant difference among these groups . (3) According to the results of Pearson's correlation analysis, we found positive linear correlation between the immunoreactivity of p53(-/+), p53(5 degrees)and p53(PU)(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that the pathogenesis of NSCLC might be related to the mutation of gene p53 and cell excessive proliferation and insufficient apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of domestic exenatide injection versus imported exenatide injection in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on monotherapy or combination therapy of metformin and insulin secretagogues. Methods A multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, and non-inferiority trial was carried out. A total of 240 subjects were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to add domestic exenatide injection (trial group) or imported exenatide injection (control group) on the background therapies. The primary endpoint of efficacy was HbA1C change from baseline to week 16. The secondary endpoints of efficacy were the proportion of HbA1C<7.0%, and the changes in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h plasma glucose after standard meal (2hPG), 7-point self monitoring of blood glucose (7P-SMBG), and body weight from baseline to week 16. Results Among subjects of per-protocol sets, adjusted mean HbA1C reduction was -1.07% in the trial group versus -1.06% in the control group after 16 weeks of treatment. The lower boundary of the two-sided 95% confidence intervals of the mean HbA1C reduction difference between the trial and control groups was -0.29%, which was more than -0.35%, suggesting that the predefined statistical criterion for non-inferiority was achieved. The proportions of subjects achieving HbA1C<7.0% at the end of the 16-week treatment were 56.19% and 54.08% in the trial and control groups, respectively (P>0.05). The changes in FPG, 2hPG, 7P-SMBG and body weight from baseline to week 16 were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). Moreover, the incidences of hypoglycemia and adverse events were similar between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion In type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled by monotherapy or combination therapy of metformin and insulin secretagogues, the efficacy of cotreatment with domestic exenatide injection is not inferior to that of imported product ones, with a similar safety profile.

Objective? To investigate the current situation of intravenous therapy in 38 ClassⅡ and above hospitals in Hu'nan Province and analyze the existing problems. Methods? A questionnaire survey was conducted in 38 hospitals in Hu'nan Province in November 2018 using the Nursing Situation of Intravenous Therapy in Hospitals at All Levels designed by the Professional Committee of Intravenous Therapy and Chinese Nursing Association. To understand the status quo of intravenous therapy, quality management of intravenous therapy, and the status of specialist nurses in intravenous therapy. Results? In 38 hospitals, totally 36 hospitals provided continuous intravenous therapy services through intravenous therapy/peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) clinics and a designated hospital department; 21 hospitals had established intravenous therapy/PICC clinics; the outpatient service was flexible in form, but the qualification certification of outpatient nurses needed further regulation. The proportion of hospitals carrying out medium and long-term catheter infusion and hospitals carrying out PICC transfusion with Modified Sedinger Technique (MST) puncture guided by ultrasound was 100.00% and 72.22%, respectively. In vascular visualization technology, hospitals using infrared, ultrasound and X-ray technology were 2.63%, 63.16% and 34.21% respectively. There were some gaps in the skin disinfectant and disinfection scope, concentration of flushing and sealing fluid and maintenance frequency between the hospitals and the national standards in peripheral and central venipuncture and catheter maintenance. In terms of quality management of intravenous therapy, 34 hospitals had established intravenous therapy teams, whose quality evaluation criteria are different. In terms of specialist nurses team construction, there were 505 specialist nurses in venous therapy/PICC in 38 hospitals. The structure of specialist nurses had been continuously optimized in terms of education, title and length of service. However, hospitals needed to pay more attention to the development of specialist nurses. Conclusions? The contents of continuous nursing of intravenous therapy need to be further expanded, the management of PICC clinic needs to be strengthened, the standardized use of infusion devices and connectors needs to be improved, the knowledge and practice gap between puncture nursing and catheter maintenance of intravenous therapy exists, and the quality control standards of hospitals need to be standardized and regulated, more attention should be paid to the development of specialist nurses.

Objective To investigate the morbidity, diagnostic profile and perinatal outcome of pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) in 15 hospitals in Guangdong province. Methods A total of 41338 women delivered in the 15 hospitals during the 6 months,195 women with PGDM(PGDM group) and 195 women with normal glucose test result(control group)were recruited from these tertiary hospitals in Guangdong province from January 2016 to June 2016. The morbidity and diagnostic profile of PGDM were analyzed. The complications during pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups. In the PGDM group, pregnancy outcomes were analyzed in women who used insulin treatment (n=91) and women who did not (n=104). Results (1)The incidence of PGDM was 0.472%(195/41338). Diabetes mellitus were diagnosed in 59 women (30.3%, 59/195) before pregnancy, and 136 women (69.7%,136/195) were diagnosed as PGDM after conceptions. Forty-six women (33.8%) were diagnosed by fasting glucose and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) screening. (2) The maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), prenatal BMI, percentage of family history of diabetes, incidence of macrosomia, concentration of low density lipoprotein were significantly higher in PGDM group than those in control group (all P<0.05). Women in PGDM group had significantly higher HbA1c concentration((6.3±1.3)% vs (5.2±0.4)%), fasting glucose [(6.3±2.3) vs (4.8±1.1) mmol/L], oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)-1 h glucose((12.6±2.9) vs (7.1± 1.3) mmol/L)and OGTT-2 h glucose [(12.0±3.0) vs (6.4±1.0) mmol/L] than those in control group (P<0.01). (3)The morbidity of preterm births was significantly higher (11.3% vs 1.0%, P<0.01), and the gestational age at delivery in PGDM group was significantly smaller [(37.6±2.3) vs (39.2±1.2) weeks, P<0.01]. Cesarean delivery rate in the PGDM group (70.8% vs 29.7%) was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01). There was significantly difference between PGDM group and control in the neonatal male/female ratio (98/97 vs 111/84, P=0.033). The neonatal birth weight in PGDM group was significantly higher((3159±700) vs (3451±423) g, P<0.01). And the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in the PGDM group was higher than the control group (7.7% vs 2.6%, P=0.036).(4)In the PGDM group, women who were treated with insulin had a smaller gestational age at delivery [(36.9±2.9) vs (37.9±2.5) weeks, P<0.01], and the neonates had a higher neonatal ICU(NICU)admission rate (24.2% vs 9.6% , P<0.01). Conclusions The morbidity of PGDM in the 15 hospitals in Guangdong province is 0.472%. The majority of PGDM was diagnosed during pregnancy; HbA1c and fasting glucose are reliable parameters for PGDM screening. Women with PGDM have obvious family history of diabetes and repeated pregnancy may accelerate the process of diabetes mellitus. Women with PGDM have higher risk for preterm delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia. Unsatisfied glucose control followed by insulin treatment may increase the need for NICU admission.

Objective:To explore a fast method to identify and confirm suspected clonorchis sinensis infection.Methods:For suspected clonorchis sinensis infection, the clonorchiasis serum antibody was detected first with ELISA. If the antibody was positive, the fecal examination for eggs was performed. If the fecal examination was negative, duodenal drainage under gastroscopy was recommended to detect eggs from the drainage fluid.Results:A total of 126 patients met the requirements and aged 54.14±13.33 (24- 87). There were 83 cases (65.87%, 83/126) with eggs positive in the drainage fluid, of which 53 cases were male, aged 55.91±11.47 (30-86), and 30 cases female, aged 55.87± 13.85(30-87). There was no significant difference in age between males and females( P>0.05). The time of catheterization (T1) of 126 cases was 3.79 ±1.45 min. The time of drainage (T2) of 126 cases was 31.39 ±14.29 min. There was no significant difference in T1 or T2 between the positive group and the negative group( P>0.05). The detection rates of eggs were 91.57% (76 cases) in intrahepatic bile duct drainage, 81.93% (68 cases) in the bile-cyst juice and 75.90% (63 cases) in the common bile duct fluid. No serious adverse reactions occurred during or after the operation. Conclusion:The detection rate of clonorchiosis sinensis can be effectively improved by the combination of clonorchiasis serum antibody test and gastroscopy-guided duodenal drainage.
