AIM:To investigate the expression level of transcriptional factor Elf-1 in mononuclear cells,CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from umbilical cord blood (UCB). METHODS: Real-time PCR with SYBR green I technique was used for detecting the Elf-1 expression in mononuclear cells,sorted CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from 12 cases of umbilical cord blood. The relative mRNA expression level of Elf-1 was analyzed by a formula of 2-△Ct?100%. The expression level of ?2-microglobulin gene (?2M) was used as an endogenous reference. The peripheral blood from 10 cases of healthy adults was served as control. RESULTS: Elf-1 mRNA expressed in all blood samples collected from both UCB and healthy adults. The expression level showed apparent diversity in different individuals. The relative mRNA expression of Elf-1 in both mononuclear cells (18.55%?2.48%) and CD8+T cells (3.52%?0.45%) from UCB were significantly higher than those from healthy adults (9.16%?1.92%,2.02%?0.27%,respectively,P

Objective　To evaluate therapeutic effect and opportunity of laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) for treatment of hypermetropia.Methods　Three hundred and ninety hypermetropia eyes were treated with LASIK using solid excimer laser instrument(made in Novatec Corporation, USA),and were reexamined at 1,3,6 and 12 months after LASIK.Results　Therapeutic effect of LASIK was more remarkable, stable and reliable, that of other methods in treating +2.00～+10.00D hypermetropia and astigmatism, and the rate and degree of refraction regression were small. The diopter has been stable in 6～12　months after LASIK. Diopter of 87 percentage of all eyes≤+2.00D, and 61 percentage≤+1.00D. LASIK had shorter recovery time, more gently operation reaction, more remarkable droping of diopter than other methods. Elevation of vision was remarkable after LASIK. Elevation of vision of amblyopia children who were treated with LASIK was quicker and more remarkable after treatment of amblyopia than that of other amblyopia children who were not treated with LASIK.Conclusion　At present, LASIK is the best therapeutic method to treat hypermetropia.

AIM: To investigate the expression level of transcriptional factor Elf-1 in mononuclear cells, CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cells from umbilical cord blood (UCB). METHODS: Real-time PCR with SYBR green I technique was used for detecting the Elf-1 expression in mononuclear cells, sorted CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cells from 12 cases of umbilical cord blood. The relative mRNA expression level of Elf-1 was analyzed by a formula of 2~(-△Ct)×100%. The expression level of β_2-microglobulin gene (β_2M) was used as an endogenous reference. The peripheral blood from 10 cases of healthy adults was served as control. RESULTS: Elf-1 mRNA expressed in all blood samples collected from both UCB and healthy adults. The expression level showed apparent diversity in different individuals. The relative mRNA expression of Elf-1 in both mononuclear cells (18.55%±2.48%) and CD8~+ T cells (3.52%±0.45%) from UCB were significantly higher than those from healthy adults (9.16%±1.92%, 2.02%±0.27%, respectively, P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of Elf-1 expression level from umbilical cord blood indicate that the over-expression of Elf-1 gene in mononuclear cells and CD8~+ T cells might be one of the features of T cell immune state in umbilical cord blood.

Purpose: Numerous barriers hinder individuals with mental illness from seeking medical assistance in rural regions, yet a comprehensive understanding of these challenges remains elusive. This metasynthesis aims to understand the barriers and facilitators in medical help-seeking among rural individuals with mental illness. Methods: We systematically searched seven databases [PubMed, CINAHL, Medline (OVID), PsycINFO (OVID), Cochrane, Embase, and ProQuest] in May 2023 and included the studies if they reported the barriers or/and facilitators to seek healthcare in rural patients with mental illness. We conducted hand search and citation search on Google Scholar for literature supplements. Thematic analysis was employed. Results: The study included 27 articles reporting on the barriers and facilitators to seeking medical help in this population from 2007 to 2023. We ultimately identified themes at three levels: navigating the terrain of vulnerability and empowerment (the individual with mental illness), navigating the terrain of external environment (the external environment) and connectivity within the healthcare ecosystem for mental health (the health service system). Conclusions We must design more effective strategies to improve mental healthcare access for rural patients, considering cultural nuances and health service utilization patterns. This requires a multi-level approach, tailored to the unique needs of diverse populations.

Objective To investigate the expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene-2 (NDRG2) on renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) rat model and the mechanism of renal fibrosis.Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats (120-150g)were randomly divided into two groups:the sham-operation group (n =24)underwent the left ureteral dissection,the UUO group (n =24)underwent the left ureteral ligation.At the 3,7,14,21day after the operation,6 rats from each of the group were sacrificed and the obstructive kidneys were collected.The histopathological changes were observed through HE and Masson staining.E-cadherin and α-SMA were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.NDRG2 were detected by Western blot,immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR.Results There is not diffenrence in the sham group at anytime.Compared with the sham-group,the fibrosis was obvious in UUO group.The protein of E-cadherin decreased(P ＜ 0.05) and α-SMA increased(P ＜0.05).The expression of NDRG2 in UUO group was lower than that in the sham group.The OD of immunohistochemistry was detected by ImagePro Plus 6.0.OD of NDRG2 was the lowest[(14.33 ± 2.45) x 10-3] in 21d group.The western blot showed that the ratio of NDRG2 to β-actin was the lowest(0.03 ± 0.01) in 21d group.The mRNA of NDRG2 decreased obverously in UUO group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion NDRG2 decreases in UUO group and NDRG2 might be involved in the pathologic process of renal fibrosis.

Objective:To compare the biomechanical parameters of Ortho-Bridge system (OBS) and locking compression plate+locking attachment plate (LCP+LAP) in the fixation of femoral periprosthetic type B1 fracture.Methods:The same periprosthetic type B1 fracture of human femur were made, including simple fracture model and comminuted fracture model, 12 in each. And the simple fracture models were randomly divided into 6 pieces of OBS system fixation group and 6 pieces of LCP+LAP system fixation group, and the complex fracture models were also randomly divided into 6 pieces of OBS system fixation group and 6 pieces of LCP + LAP system fixation group. Then the four groups of models were tested by axial compression and torsion tests, and the stiffness of the models under axial compression and torsion angle of the models under torsion test were collected. The axial compression failure test was carried out to collect the vertical load of the ultimate failure test. The axial stiffness, torsion angle and axial failure load of OBS and LCP+LAP fixed simple and comminuted fractures were statistically analyzed by t test. Results:For the test of fixed simple fracture, there was no significant difference ( t=0.535, P=0.522) in the axial stiffness between the OBS group (868.87±157.14 N) and the LCP+LAP group (904.53±44.76 N), whereas the results of torsion test showed that the LCP+LAP group had a higher torsion angle 7.17°±0.52° than the OBS group 5.45°±0.44° ( t=5.616, P<0.001); When fixing comminuted fractures, the OBS group had a higher axial stiffness (145.33±10.34 N) than the LCP+LAP group (84.15±8.94 N) ( t=10.961, P<0.001), but the LCP+LAP group had a higher torsion angle 7.75°±1.17° than the OBS group 5.23°±0.31° ( t=4.652, P=0.001). Ultimate failure test data showed that the failure pressure of OBS fixed group (4 967.49±132.88 N) was higher than LCP+LAP group (3 967.41±145.16 N) ( t=12.447, P<0.001). In the LCP+LAP group, there was destruction of the contact cortex at the fracture site, while in the OBS group, there was destruction of the contact cortex at the fracture site as well as fractures around the proximal fixation screw. Conclusion:OBS group has similar axial compression resistance to LCP+LAP group, but better torsion resistance than LCP+LAP group when it is used to fix B1 simple fracture around femoral prosthesis. When comminuted fracture is fixed, the axial compression resistance and torsion resistance of OBS group are better than LCP+LAP group. The stress is dispersed during OBS fixation, which can better avoid the failure of internal fixation during early functional exercise.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features, diagnostic and differential diagnostic aspects of pigmented microcystic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC). Methods: Five cases of pigmented microcystic ChRCC were collected at Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2013 to January 2018. The clinical features, gross and histological appearances, immunohistochemistry and prognosis were analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed. Results: There were 3 men and 2 women with age range of 45 years to 72 years (mean 57 years). All tumors were incidentally identified by imaging examinations. Grossly, the tumors were well-demarcated and showed diameters ranging from 1.8 cm to 4.0 cm(mean 2.9 cm). On cross section, the tumors were brown to gray tan with solid cut-surface mixed with multiple cysts of variable sizes. Hemorrhage was common, central scar was not seen. Microscopically, the tumors were composed predominantly of irregular and variable-sized microcystic or tubulocystic patterns, with extensive cribriform structures formation and focal adenomatous rearrangements seen in one case each, and focal pseudo-papillary structures (lacking true fibro-vascular cores) seen in two cases. Microscopic calcifications and psammoma bodies were present in all tumors. Four tumors composed mostly of eosinophilic cells whereas 1 predominated in plant-like cells. Brown pigmentations, either intracytoplasmic or extracytoplasmic, were noted in all five cases. The tumor cells had irregular, low-grade nuclei (Paner grade: 1) frequently with binucleation and perinuclar halos. Tumor necrosis or sarcomatous transformation was not seen. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells expressed CK, EMA, and E-cadherin diffusely and strongly in five cases; and CK7 and CD117 diffusely in four cases. They were negative for vimentin, CD10, CA9, AMACR/P504s, TFE3, HMB45, Melan A, S-100 protein, synaptophysin and chromogranin. Partial nephrectomies were performed for all five patients; there was no tumor recurrences or metastases at a follow-up of 2 to 55 months (mean, 17 months). Conclusions Pigmented microcystic ChRCC is a rare histological variant of ChRCC with relatively indolent behavior, and shows morphologic heterogeneity which can elicit a wide range of differential diagnoses. Careful attentions to search for typical features of classic ChRCC with the use of immunohistochemistry can help to distinguish this tumor from its many mimickers.
