BACKGROUND:Cryotherapy plays a positive role in the treatment of delayed-onset muscle soreness caused by high intense exercise. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different crypotherapy programs on the levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 in long distance race-walkers after 15-day training, and to determine a rational treatment program for delayed-onset muscle soreness. METHODS:Sixteen male race-walkers in Liaoning Province were randomly divided into cryotherapy and cryo/heat therapy groups, and received 10-minute cryotherapy and 2.5-minute cryo/heat therapy (2.5-mintue cryotherapy and 2.5-minute heat therapy alternately for 10 minutes), respectively, after 15-day training. The serum levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 were detected at six different time points to compare the efficacy between two methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the cryo/heat therapy group, the serum levels of interleukin-6 and prostaglandin 2 in the cryotherapy group were significantly decreased. That is to say, cryotherapy is more available for alleviating delayed-onset muscle soreness after intensive eccentric training or in intensive seasons.

Objective:To investigate the mRNA and protein expressions of steroid sulfatase (STS) in breast cancer tissues and normal breast tissues, and analyze its relationship with clinicopathologic characteristics. Methods:The mRNA and protein expressions of STS, in 40 cases of breast cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous normal breast tissues, were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and immunohistochemistry. The correlation of STS expression level with clinicopathologic characteristics was analyzed. Results:STS protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of breast carcinoma cells and epithelial cells in normal breast glands, but not in the stroma. It could be detected in the nucleus of carcinoma cells in 3 cases of breast cancer tissues, which was pathologically classified as invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and invasive micropapillary carcinoma. STS was not observed in interstitial tissues of breast glands. STS protein expression had positive correlation with its mRNA expressing level. The positivity of STS was 70.0% in breast cancer tissues, significantly higher than that of normal breast tissues (42.5%). The difference was significant (P =0.013). Stratified analysis showed that the positive rates of STS protein were significantly higher in premenopausal patients, the patients with lymph node metastasis, and those with advanced breast carcinoma than those in the matched normal breast tissues (P<0.05). Conclusion:Breast cancer tissues highly expressed STS protein to stimulate local estrogen production, thereby enhancing the progression and migration of breast cancer cells. In addition, as the tumor growth, locally biosynthesized estrogens may play more and more important roles.

Objective:
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and insomnia symptoms are common in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), which might lead to a poor prognosis and an increased risk of depression relapse. The current study aimed to investigate the prevalence, and sociodemographic and clinical correlates of EDS and insomnia symptoms among adolescents with MDD.
Methods:
The sample of this cross-sectional study included 297 adolescents (mean age=15.26 years; range=12–18 years; 218 females) with MDD recruited from three general and four psychiatric hospitals in five cities (Hefei, Bengbu, Fuyang, Suzhou, and Ma’anshan) in Anhui Province, China between January and August, 2021. EDS and insomnia symptoms, and clinical severity of depressive symptoms were assessed using Epworth sleepiness scale, Insomnia Severity Index, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity.
Results:
The prevalence of EDS and insomnia symptoms in adolescents with MDD was 39.7% and 38.0%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analyses showed that EDS symptoms were significantly associated with higher body mass index (odds ratio [OR]=1.097, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.027–1.172), more severe depressive symptoms (OR=1.313, 95% CI=1.028–1.679), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors use (OR=2.078, 95% CI=1.199–3.601). And insomnia symptoms were positively associated with female sex (OR=1.955, 95% CI=1.052–3.633), suicide attempts (OR=1.765, 95% CI=1.037–3.005), more severe depressive symptoms (OR=2.031, 95% CI=1.523–2.709), and negatively associated with antipsychotics use (OR=0.433, 95% CI=0.196–0.952).
Conclusion
EDS and insomnia symptoms are common among adolescents with MDD. Considering their negative effects on the clinical prognosis, regular screening and clinical managements should be developed for this patient population.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases characteristics of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 1 321 ICC patients who were admitted to 12 hospitals from April 2007 to November 2017 were collected,including 182 in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University,173 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,156 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University),139 in the Cancer Center of Sun Yatsen University,128 in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University,113 in the Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine,109 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University,84 in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital,65 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,62 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College,58 in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School and 52 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine.Treatment planning was respectively determined by comprehensive hospitals according to clinical features and results of related examinations.Surgical procedures were performed based on the results of intraoperative examinations and patients' conditions.Observation indicators:(1) laboratory examination and treatment situations;(2) relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter;(3) diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases;(4) relationship between clinicopathological features and lymph node metastases.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s,and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparison of count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results (1) Laboratory examination and treatment situations:of 1 321 patients,cases and percentages of positive hepatitis B virus (HBV),positive serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (> 20 μg/L),positive serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (> 5 μg/L),positive serum alanine transaminase (ALT) (>75 U/L),positive serum CA19-9 (>37 U/mL) and positive serum total bilirubin (TBil) (>20 μmol/L) were respectively 202,80,329,207,590,300 and 15.586% (202/1 296),7.339%(80/1 090),26.299% (329/1 251),16.587% (207/1 248),49.789%(590/1 185),24.000% (300/1 250).Of 1 321 patients,1 206 underwent surgery,including 904 with hepatectomy,193 with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),72 with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD),3 with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),3 with PTBD + ERCP and 31 with other treatments;115 had missing registration of surgical procedures.(2) Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location and diameter:① Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor location:cases with CA19-9 level ≤ 37 U/mL,38-200 U/mL and > 200 U/mL were respectively 227,91,146 with primary tumor located in left liver and 282,134,137 with primary tumor located in right liver.Cases combined with hepatitis and intrahepatic bile duct stone were respectively 67,73 with primary tumor in left liver and 111,47 with primary tumor in right liver,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =6.710,5.656,12.534,P<0.05).The results of further analysis showed that incidence age of ICC was (63± 10)years old in patients with hepatitis and (59± 10) years old in patients without hepatitis,with statistically significant differences (t =4.840,P<0.05).② Relationship between clinicopathological features and primary tumor diameter:cases with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,with 3 cm < primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm and with primary tumor diameter > 5 cm were respectively 159,250,229 with CEA level ≤ 5 pg/L and 40,65,95 with CEA level > 5 μg/L and 165,258,286 with ALT level ≤ 75 U/L and 34,57,36 with ALT level > 75 U/L and 148,242,281 with TBil level ≤ 20 μmol/L and 51,73,43 with TBil level > 20 μmol/L,and 37,70 and 131 patients had satellite loci of tumor,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2=8.669,6.637,15.129,34.746,P<0.05).(3) Diagnosis of lymph node dissection and metastases:of 904 patients with hepatectomy,346 received lymph node dissection,total number,number in each patient and median number of lymph node dissected were respectively 1 894.0,5.5 and 4.0 (range,1.0-26.0);157 had lymph node metastases,with a rate of lymph node metastasis of 45.376% (157/346),number and number in each patient of positive lymph node were respectively 393.0 and 2.5.Of 346 patients with lymph node dissection,114 had lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 64 with lymph node metastasis and 50 without lymph node metastasis;232 didn't have lymph node metastasis by preoperative imaging examination,postoperative pathological examinations confirmed 93 with lymph node metastasis and 139 without lymph node metastasis.The sensitivity,specificity and diagnostic accuracy by imaging examination were respectively 40.8%,73.5% and 58.7%.(4) Relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and lymph node metastases:lymph node metastasis rate was respectively 51.397% (92/179) in patients with primary tumor located in left liver,39.103% (61/156) in patients with primary tumor located in right liver,34.615%(18/52) in patients with primary tumor diameter ≤ 3 cm,42.500%(51/120) in patients with 3 cm < primary tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm,52.980%(80/151) in patients with primary tumor diameter > 5 cm,48.790%(121/248) in patients with CEA ≤ 5 μg/L,59.302% (51/86) in patients with CEA > 5 μg/L,40.234% (103/256) in patients with TBil ≤ 20 μmol/L,35.106% (33/94) in patients with TBil > 20 μmol/L,with statistically significant differences in above indictors (x2 =5.078,6.262,9.456,5.156,P < 0.05).Conclusions The related etiological factors may be different due to different primary location of ICC.Primary tumor in left liver is significantly associated with intrahepatic bile duct stone of left liver,and primary tumor in right liver is associated with combined hepatitis,while combined hepatitis could lead early occurrence of ICC.At present,there is a low rate of lymph node dissection in ICC patients and a high lymph node metastasis rate in patients receiving lymph node dissection.Lymph node metastasis is associated with primary tumor location and diameter,levels of CEA and TBil.Lymph node metastasis rate in left liver is higher than that in right liver,and is getting higher with increased primary tumor diameter.
