Objective To determine the expression of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ regulatory T cells(Treg cells) in peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and investigate the clinical significance of Treg cells determination in clinical practice. Methods Flow cytometry was employed to measure the levels of CD4+ CD25+ T cells and CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells in peripheral blood of 18 HCC patients, 26 hospitalized patients without HCC (clinical control) as well as 24 healthy persons (healthy control). Results The percentage of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in total CD4+T cells isolated from the HCC patients(4.25% ± 3.98 % ) was elevated significantly compared to that in the clinical control group (1.34% ± 1.14%) or healthy control group (1.29% ±0.95%) (both P<0.01). There was no difference in the percentage between the clinical control group and the healthy control group (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the ratio between CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells and CD4+ T cells in HCC patients (2.94%0.91%) also increased significantly compared to that in the clinical control group (0.76% ± 0.34%) or healthy control group (0.81% ± 0.29%) ( both P<0. 001), which showed a more obvious increasing tendency than the ratio of CD4+ CD25+ T cells and CD4+ T cells. No difference in percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells in CD4+ T cells was found between the clinical control group and the healthy control group (P>0.05). Conclusion As the more accurate regulatory T cells, CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells are able to detect the increase of population in HCC patients. Therefore, it is important to determine the levels of CD4+ CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in HCC patients for prevention and treatment of malignancy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of electroacupuncture assisted with facial expression muscle control rehabilitation training in the treatment of patients with severe idiopathic facial paralysis.Methods:A total of 130 patients with severe idiopathic facial paralysis who met inclusion criterion were chosen and randomly divided into 2 groups, 65 patients in each, from January 2017 to December 2019 in our hospital. The control group were treated with facial expression muscle control rehabilitation training and western medicine, and the experiment group with electroacupuncture on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks and followed up for 6 months. The facial nerve function was evaluated by H-B scale and facial nerve sunny brook scale the quality of daily life was evaluated by Facial Disability Index Physical Function (FDIP) scale and Facial Disability Index Social Function (FDIS) scale. The latency/M wave amplitude of motor evoked action on orbicularis oculi muscle and orbicularis ORIS muscle were measured by EMG evoked potential instrument. The occurrence of hemifacial spasm during follow-up was recorded. The clinical effective rates were evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of experiment group was 92.31% (60/65), which was significantly higher than that of the control group 76.9% (50/65) ( χ2=6.495, P=0.039). The H-B scale scores of experiment group after treatment were significantly less than that of the control group ( t=3.438, P<0.01). The facial nerve sunny brook scale scores of experiment group after treatment were significantly more than that of the control group ( t=2.674, P=0.032). The FDIP scores of experiment group after treatment were significantly less than that of the control group ( t=3.986, P<0.01). The FDIS scores of experiment group after treatment were significantly more than that of the control group ( t=4.621, P<0.01). The NCV latency of orbicularis oculi muscle [(2.51 ± 0.27) ms vs. (2.82 ± 0.46) ms, t=4.258] and orbicularis oris muscle [(2.97 ± 0.22) ms vs. (3.35 ± 0.40) ms, t=4.783] of observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The M wave amplitudes of orbicularis oculi muscle [(1.83 ± 0.45) mV vs. (1.30 ± 0.39) mV, t=3.827] and orbicularis oris muscle [(2.58 ± 0.60) mV vs. (1.97 ± 0.36) mV, t=4.017] of observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The incidence of facial spasm with follow-up of experiment group for 4.62% (3/65) was significantly lower than that of the control group for 15.38% (10/65) ( χ2=9.271, P=0.033). Conclusion:Electroacupuncture assisted with facial expression muscle control rehabilitation training in the treatment of patients with severe idiopathic facial paralysis can relieve clinical symptoms, improve facial nerve function, improve the quality of daily life and be helpful to reduce the facial spasm risk.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the distance of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) on postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 83 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer in Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively included. They were divided into recurrent group (16 cases) and non-recurrent group (67 cases) according to the recurrence within 1 year after operation. The clinical data, postoperative CRM distance and laboratory indicators of the two groups were collected to analyze the influence of CRM distance on postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Results:The proportion of patients treated with postoperative chemotherapy, and postoperative CRM distance in the recurrent group were lower than those in the non-recurrent group: 9/16 vs. 83.58 % (56/67), (0.85 ± 0.23) mm vs. (1.64 ± 0.76) mm. The levels of CEA and CA19-9 at admission were higher than those in the non-recurrent group: (156.74 ± 11.58) μg/L vs. (149.96 ± 10.26) μg/L, (15.63 ± 2.77) kU/L vs. (14.04 ± 2.35) kU/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Point binary correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between CRM distance and postoperative recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer ( r = - 0.412, P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the long distance of CRM was the protective factor of recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer ( OR<1, P<0.05). The results of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the CRM distance to predict the recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer was 0.833>0.7, and the predictive value was good. When the optimal threshold was 1.080 mm, the ideal sensitivity and specificity could be obtained 87.50% and 81.00%. Conclusions:The shorter the CRM distance after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer, the higher the risk of recurrence. The CRM distance can be used as a predictor of recurrence after laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.

Objective:To detect the prevalence of mosaic loss of chromosome Y in adult men in ten study areas in China, describe the epidemiological distribution of mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) carriers and assess its prospective association with lung cancer.Methods:Based on the data from baseline survey, genetic analysis and follow-up (as of December 31, 2018) from China Kadoorie Biobank, we used Mosaic Chromosomal Alterations pipeline to detect mLOY carriers in 10 areas in China and described the epidemiological characteristics of mLOY carriers in adult men, including age, area distribution, lifestyle and disease history. We used multivariate logistic regression model to identify the potential relevant factor of mLOY. Cox proportional hazard regression model was fitted to assess the prospective association of mLOY with lung cancer. Stratification analysis were conducted to evaluate the potential modification effects of smoking and age. We also conducted mediation analysis to assess the mediating effect of mLOY in the association between smoking and lung cancer.Results:A total of 42 859 adult men were included in our analysis, in whom 2 458 mLOY carriers were detected (5.7%). The detection rate increased with age ( P<0.05). The detection rate was higher in urban area (7.3%±0.2%) than that in rural area (4.7%±0.1%). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking might be a risk factor for the detection of mLOY ( OR=1.49, 95% CI:1.36-1.64). After follow-up for average 11.1 years, 1 041 lung cancer cases were observed. The prospective analysis showed that mLOY carriers had an increased risk for lung cancer by 24% compared with non-mLOY carriers ( HR=1.24, 95% CI:1.01-1.52) and expanded mLOY carriers (mLOY cell proportion ≥10%) had an increased risk for lung cancer by 50% ( HR=1.50, 95% CI:1.13-2.00). Stratification analysis showed no modification effects of smoking and age in the association between mLOY and lung cancer (interaction P>0.05). Mediation analysis showed that mLOY could be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer, the estimated effect was 0.09 (0.01-0.17). Conclusions:There were significant differences in the detection rate of mLOY in adult men with different social-economic characteristics and lifestyles in ten areas in China. Besides, mLOY carriers, especially expanded mLOY carriers, had increased risk for lung cancer and mLOY might be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer.

Objectives:To explore the effects of interatrial shunt on cardiac function and clinical prognosis of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF). Methods:This study was a prospective single-arm study.From December 2021 to December 2022,15 consecutive patients with HFrEF from Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled in this study.Interatrial shunt was performed with a D-Shant atrial shunt device.Right heart catheterization was performed before and immediately after device implantation,pulmonary capillary wedge pressure(PCWP),mean right atrial pressure(RAP),interatrial gradient pressure,mean pulmonary artery pressure,total pulmonary resistance(TPR),pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR),cardiac index(CI),and pulmonary/systemic blood flow ratio(Qp/Qs)were measured.Patients were followed-up for 12 months after procedure,changes in cardiac structure and function were evaluated by echocardiography.NYHA classification,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),and Kansas City cardiomyopathy questionnaire(KCCQ)were observed.All-cause mortality and rehospitalization for heart failure served as clinical endpoints. Results:Interatrial shunt procedure was successful in all patients.Compared with preoperative value,PCWP,interatrial gradient pressure,mean pulmonary artery pressure,and TPR were significantly decreased,while Qp/Qs was significantly increased immediately after procedure(all P<0.01).There were no significant changes in RAP,PVR,and CI post procedure(all P>0.05).There were no significant differences in shunt size,shunt velocity,and shunt pressure difference between postoperative immediately and at 12-months follow-up(all P>0.05).At 12 months,left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher than baseline level(P<0.05),and there were no significant changes in right atrial diameter and right ventricular fractional area change(both P>0.05).Compared with preoperative status,NYHA classification was improved,KCCQ score was increased,and the number of patients with 6MWD>450 m was increased at 12 months(all P<0.05).N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide value was significantly decreased at 12 months(P<0.05).No patient died during the 12-months follow-up period,and there were no device-related adverse events.Two patients experienced hospital readmission for heart failure. Conclusions:Implantation of interatrial shunt device could effectively improve hemodynamic parameters in patients with HFrEF and is related to significantly improved cardiac function at 12-months follow-up.

Objective:To examine the association between self-rated health status (SRH) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.Methods:A total of 512 713 adults aged 30-79 years from 10 areas of China were followed from baseline (2004-2008) until 31 December 2016 in the China Kadoorie Biobank study. Global and age-comparative SRH [general self-rated health status (GSRH) and age-comparative self-rated health status (ASRH), respectively] were asked in baseline questionnaires. Causes for mortality were monitored through linkage with established Disease Surveillance Point system and health insurance records. Multivariable Cox proportional regression models were used to estimate the HRs and 95% CIs for the association between SRH measures and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. Results:During an average of 9.9 years' follow-up, 44 065 deaths were recorded, among which 17 648 were from cardiovascular disease. Compared with excellent GSRH, the HR(95% CI) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with poor GSRH was 1.84(1.78-1.91) and 1.94(1.82-2.06), respectively. Relative to better ASRH, the HR(95% CI) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with worse ASRH was 1.75(1.70-1.81) and 1.83(1.73-1.92), respectively. Conclusion:In this large prospective cohort study in China, participants reporting poor GSRH or worse ASRH had significantly higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
