Objective To analyze the clinical effect of uterine artery ligation combined with modified uterine compression suture in the prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.Methods A total of 107 patients with refractory cesarean section who were treated with uterine artery ligation combined with modified uterine compression suture were selected as treatment group.Of the patients treated with conventional treatment,83 patients were included in the control group.The effective hemostasis rate,clinical curative effect,incision infection,postpartum hemorrhage,blood transfusion rate,mattress rate and postoperative morbidity were compared between the two groups.Results The amount of intraoperative blood loss (1 106 ± 458.78) mL in the treatment group was significantly higher than (753.6 ±302.30)mL in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =1.892,P ＜ 0.05).The 24h total blood loss of the the treatment group [(1 028.89 ± 375.87) mL] was significantly higher than (813.87 ± 312.15) mL of the control group (t =3.872,P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative 24h blood loss in the treatment group [(70.86 ±19.30)mL] was lower than (73.50 ± 21.20)mL in the control group,and the difference was not statistically significant (t =0.045,P ＞ 0.05).The transfusion rate in the treatment group was 27.10％,which in the control group was higher than 10.84％,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (x2 =7.722,P ＜ 0.05).The effective hemostasis rate in the treatment group was 99.66％ (106/107),which was significantly higher than 96.39％ in the control group (x2 =6.263,P ＜ 0.05).The rate of puerperal infection was 7.48％ in the treatment group,which in the control group was 6.02％,there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incision infection rate and postoperative morbidity rate were 0.00％ in the treatment group and the control group,and the two groups were treated with Ⅱ / A healing.Conclusion Uterine artery ligation combined with improved uterine compression suture in the prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage has good hemostasis effect,hysterectomy rate is low,it is worthy of promoting and application.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors empagliflozin (EMPA) and dapagliflozin(DAPA) on palmitic acid(PA)-induced injury of rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes and its possible mechanism. METHODS H9c2 myocardial cell injury was induced by PA. CCK-8 method was used to screen the optimal dosage of PA, EMPA and DAPA. The protein expression levels of TLR4, p-AKT, p-mTOR, Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α were detected by ELISA. ROS levels in PA-induced H9c2 cardiomyocytes were determined by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. RESULTS The survival rate of H9c2 cardiomyocytes decreased significantly after treatment of PA 100 μmol·L-1 for 24 h(P<0.01), the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TLR4, p-mTOR and ROS were significantly increased(P<0.01), and the protein expression of p-AKT, Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cell survival rate was significantly increased after EMPA and DAPA treatment(P<0.01), the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TLR4, p-mTOR and ROS levels were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the protein expression of p-AKT, Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly up-regulated(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION EMPA and DAPA have protective effects on PA-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of TLR4 and p-mTOR protein expression, enhancement of AKT protein phosphorylation, activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, and inhibition of ROS generation.

Objective:To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of different laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.Methods:From January 2011 to December 2014, the laparoscopic operation cases of cervical cancer at stage Ⅰb1, Ⅰb2, Ⅱa1 and Ⅱa2, including the histologic subtypes of squamous-cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma, were collected in five clinical centers. The data were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedures, that is, modified laparoscopic-vaginal radical hysterectomy (mLVRH) and total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLRH). The overall survival rate (OS), disease-free survival rate (DFS) at 5 years were retrospectively analyzed in this study.Results:There were 674 cases in total, including 377 cases of mLVRH, 297 cases of TLRH. (1) The OS at 5 years: the mLVRH was 96.1% and the TLRH was 92.0%, and the mLVRH was higher than that of TLRH （ P=0.010）. Stratify analysis， including stage of disease （Ⅰb1 and Ⅱa1）， histologic subtypes （squamous-cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma）， lymph node metastasis， revealed that, ① Stage of disease: in stage Ⅰb1, the OS at five years of mLVRH was higher than that in TLRH group （98.6% vs 93.6%, P=0.012）. In stage Ⅱa1, there was significant difference between the two groups, the OS at five years of mLVRH and TLRH were 93.6% and 77.6% （ P=0.007）. ② Histologic subtypes: for the OS at five years of squamous-cell carcinoma, mLVRH and TLRH were 96.1% and 92.3%, and there was significant difference （ P=0.046）； for adenocarcinoma, the OS at five years were 91.0% and 88.6%， and there was no difference between two groups （ P=0.230）. ③ Lymph node metastasis： the mLVRH and TLRH with lymph node metastasis, the OS at five years were 98.6% and 96.4%; the mLVRH and TLRH without lymph node metastasis, the OS at five years were 89.3% and 80.8%. There were no significant differences between the two groups,respectively ( P=0.156， P=0.093）. (2) The DFS at 5 years: there was no significant difference between mLVRH and TLRH (94.1% vs 90.9%, P=0.220). Stratify analysis for stage of disease, the mLVRH group was higher than that in the TLRH group in stage Ⅰb1 (97.0% vs 92.8%, P=0.039). However, for stage Ⅱa1, there was no significant difference between mLVRH and TLRH group （88.2% vs 75.8%, P=0.074）. Conclusions:The results of this retrospective study indicated that different laparoscopy surgical procedures had diverse oncologic outcomes. The OS at 5 years of the mLVRH is superior to the TLRH. The DFS at 5 years in Ⅰb1 stage, the mLVRH is higher than the TLRH. Therefore, the modified laparoscopy is still an alternative surgery for early cervical cancer patients when following the principle of no-tumor-exposure.

【Objective】 To understand the memory phenotype and function of SARS-CoV-2 reactive CD4+ T cells in healthy individuals. 【Methods】 In this study, SARS-CoV-2-derived peptides were used to stimulate PBMC from participants.SARS-CoV-2 reactive memory T cells were detected by intracellular staining and flow cytometry, and memory phenotype analysis was performed.CBA was used to detect cytokine secretion after SARS-CoV-2-derived peptides stimulation to evaluate the function of SARS-CoV-2 reactive memory T cells. 【Results】 We found that SARS-CoV-2 reactive CD4+ memory T cells could be detected in 40% (6/15) healthy donors.Phenotypic analysis of memory showed that these T cells were mainly composed of central memory T cells(82.2%), and other memory cells accounted for 17.8%.Compared with negative control, IL-10 was significantly decreased after stimulation of SARS-CoV-2-derived peptides (P<0.05), while the secretion of IFNγ, TNFα, IL-2 and IL-4 showed no significant difference. 【Conclusions】 SARS-CoV-2 reactive CD4+ memory T cells are present in healthy individuals from China.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.
