Objective To investigate the effect of promoter hypermethylation of O 6 methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene on colorectal tumorigenesis and progression. Methods The promoter hypermethylation of O 6 methylguanine DNA methyltransferase gene was assayed in 27 sporadic colorectal adenomas, 62 sporadic colorectal carcinomas and 20 normal colorectal mucosa tissues by methylation specific PCR. At the same time, the expression of MGMT protein was studied in the same samples using immunohistochemistry. Results None of the normal colorectal mucosa tissues showed methylated bands. Promoter hypermethylation was detected in 40.7%(11/27) of adenomas and 43.5% (27/62) of carcinomas, respectively. MGMT proteins were expressed in nucleus and cytoplasm of normal colorectal mucosa tissues. Loss of MGMT expression was found in 22.2% (6/27) of adenomas and 45.2% (28/62) of carcinomas, respectively. There were significant difference among them ( P =0.041). Methylation was detected in 5 of the 6 adenomas( P =0.027) and 24 of the 28 carcinomas( P

Objective? To understand the self-management status among elderly chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and to compare the regional differences of self-management. Methods? By random cluster sampling, we investigated 6 124 elderly CHF patients from 102 hospitals in five regions, East China (Jiangxi Province, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province), West China (Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province), South China (Hainan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), North China (Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Central China (Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province). The investigation result statistics were carried out and regional differences were compared. Results? The self-management of elderly CHF patients had a low to medium level with 61.25% (49/80) <80% for the scoring rate. The scores of East China and Central China were higher and the score of West China was low; the regional differences were statistical (H=59.07, P<0.01). The score of diet management was highest with 66.67% for the scoring rate (8/12); East China had the highest score, and West China had the lowest score; the regional differences were statistical (H=92.49, P<0.01). The scoring rate of medication management was 65.00% (13/20) with the highest in East China and low in North China and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=351.10, P<0.01). Mental/social adjustment management was poor with 60.00% (12/20) for the scoring rate; the scores of Ease China were higher than those of North and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=8.84, P<0.01). Symptom management was the worst with 57.14% (16/28) for the scoring rate; the scores of East and Central China were high;the regional differences were also statistical (H=17.62,P<0.01). Conclusions? Self-management of elderly CHF patients needs to be improved. Systematic and targeted health education for different regions should be carried out to improve patients' self-management and to reduce the disease burden.

Objective:To investigate the early predictive factors of periprocedural thrombus migration and the relationship between periprocedural thrombus migration and prognosis after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients.Methods:The patients with anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS) who underwent MT in the Stroke Center of Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from May 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline characteristics, procedural and clinical outcomes were collected. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of thrombus migration and the relationship between thrombus migration and prognosis of patients.Results:There were 302 ALVOS patients [(68.8±11.0) years old and 166 males (55.0%)] included, of whom thrombus migration was identified in 80 patients (26.5%), including 60 cases (75.0%) of proximal migration. Cardiogenic stroke ( OR=2.722, 95% CI 1.367-5.418, P=0.004) and clot burden score (CBS; OR=0.849, 95% CI 0.745-0.968, P=0.015) were independent risk factors of thrombus migration. Proximal migration ( OR=2.822, 95% CI 1.220-6.528, P=0.015) was an independent risk factor of 90-day clinical outcome, while the effect of distal migration on 90-day clinical outcome was not statistically significant. Conclusions:Cardiogenic stroke and lower CBS score are independent predictors of periprocedural thrombus migration in ALVOS patients who underwent MT. Proximal migration is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients, which has important clinical intervention significance.

Objective:To observe the incidence, risk factors of malignant brain edema (MBE) and the influence of MBE on outcomes after early successful recanalization of acute large vascular occlusion stroke (ALVOS).Methods:A total of 149 patients (age (68±11) years, male 85 (57.0%)) with ALVOS who underwent early endovascular treatment and achieved successful recanalization at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2014 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline data, perioperative data, and 90-day prognostic information were collected from patients enrolled in the study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the relationship between MBE and outcomes, and the risk factors of MBE.Results:Among the 149 patients, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 16 (13, 20), baseline Alberta Stroke Project early CT score was 9 (8, 10), the time of onset-to-puncture was (248.3±61.3) minutes, and the onset-to-recanalization time was (312.4±69.7) minutes. MBE occurred in 23 patients (15.4%, 23/149). The 90-day favorable outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale score≤ 2) in patients with MBE was significantly lower than those without MBE (17.4% (4/23) vs 61.1% (77/126), χ 2=14.985, P<0.001), and the 90-day mortality in patients with MBE was significantly higher than those without MBE (43.5% (10/23) vs14.3% (18/126), χ 2=10.861, P=0.003). MBE was shown to be an independent predictor of 90-day poor outcome (adjusted OR=12.078, 95 %CI 1.934-75.443, P=0.008) and death (adjusted OR=4.146, 95 %CI 1.060-16.216, P=0.041). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the collateral circulation status was related to the incidence of MBE in patients with ALVOS after successful recanalization (level 2 vs level 0, adjusted OR=0.109, 95 %CI 0.021-0.563, P=0.008). Conclusions:MBE is an independent risk factor of ALVOS patients with poor outcome or death in 90 days. For patients with ALVOS, even if the occlusive vessels have been successfully recanalized after early endovascular treatment, MBE is still not uncommon. The collateral circulation state is an independent predictive factor of the development of MBE after recanalization by early endovascular treatment in patients with ALVOS.
