Objective To study the relationship of apoptosis-related gene survivin with bcl-2, bax protein in endometriosis. Methods The expressions of survivin, bcl-2 and bax protein were detected by immunohistochemical method (SP) in ectopic endometrium from 40 cases, and compared with that in eutopic endometrium from 25 cases without endometriosis. Results The expression rate of survivin protein in endometriotic cells was much higher than that in normal endometrial cells. The survivin was not correlated with the phase of menstrual cycle , but positively correlated to bcl-2, negatively to bax. Conclusion Survivin may play an important role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. With survivin gene, apoptosis-related gene bcl-2 may have a synergic role and bax have an antagonistic role in the formation and progression of endometriosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of applying scenario simulation practice in the professional ICU nursing students' emergency and intensive care intensified skill training before internship.Methods Totally 120 professional ICU nursing students from grade 2010 and 2011 were enrolled.Control group included 60 students from grade 2010 and experimental group included 60 students from grade 2011.Studnets in control group accepted standardized routine training while those in experimental group accepted scenario simulation practice.All students participated in skill examination after training.Two questionnaires were designed to survey nursing students and clinical teachers respectively at one month after internship.One questionnaire was to evaluate students' attitude to the training and the other one was to survey clinical teachers' evaluation of students' abilities.T test was used to statistically analyze skill examination performance and questionnaire scores between two groups.Results Skill examination performance of experimental group was better than that of control group (P＜0.01).Effects of intensified training were better in experimental group than in control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01) including the aspects of combining theory and practice,shortening internship role transition time,enhancing selfconfidence of clinical practice and relieving tension anxiety before practice,etc.Clinical teachers thought that the experimental group's analysis ability,strain capacity,operation ability,communication ability,team cooperation ability and actively acquiring knowledge ability were stronger than those of control group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Scenario simulation practice is helpful to improve operation ability and comprehensive ability.Nursing students can adapt to the clinical work better.Findings may be beneficial to the improve-ment of teachers' professional level.

Objective To evaluate the hemodynamic changes in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis pre- and post-stenting by transcranial color-coded and pulsed-Doppler sonography.Methods Thirty patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis were included.Two-dimensional,color-coded and pulsed-Doppler sonography were used to monitor the morphologic and hemodynamic changes of the MCA before,in the middle of,and after the endovascular stenting operation.All patients were verified by digital substract angiography.Results The hyper-echoic stent grafts and also the size and location of the stent were clearly shown by two-dimensional ultrasonography in 28 patients.The systolic,diastolic and the timeaveraged maximal flow velocities significantly decreased both instantly and 3 - 7 d after the stenting.Specifically,the systolic peak flow velocity of the MCA dramatically decreased immediately after the stenting [(151.43 ± 25.14) cm/s vs (286.13 ± 57.38)cm/s,P ＜0.05],and showed a further decrease after 3 - 7 d [(108.80 ± 9.95) cm/s vs (151.43 ± 25.14) cm/s,P ＜0.05].Conclusions Transcranial color-coded and pulsed-Doppler sonography could be used to evaluate the hemodynamic changes after MCA stenting,and could be considered as the first choice of method for evaluating the therapeutic outcome of stenting.

Objective To evaluate the features of optical molecular imaging of bladder tumor cells labeled by tumor homing peptide fluorescent molecular probe, and to explore the theoretical foundation of optical molecular imaging for bladder cancer diagnosis.Methods After prepared the FITC-CSNRDARRC fluorescent molecular probe, laser scanning confocal microscope, immuno fluorescence and multispectral fluorescence in vivo optical molecular imaging system have been used to evaluate the binding sites, the affecting factors of binding rates, the specificity and the targets.BIU-87 bladder tumor cell line, BIU-87 bladder tumor cell line, 68 cases of paraffin bladder tumor tissue samples, 16 cases of paraffin glandular bladder inflammatory samples, 43 cases of paraffin renal clear cell carcinoma samples, 68 cases of paraffin gastric adenocarcinoma samples, 29 cases of urine exfoliated cells suspected bladder cancer and BIU-87 bladder cancer nude xenograft have been used in this study.Results The binding site of FITC-CSNRDARRC fluorescent molecular probe were at the nucleus of labeled bladder tumor cells.The binding rates were correlated linearly with the dose of probe and the grade of pathology.The in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the probe has a binding specificity with bladder tumor. When the FITC-CSNRDARRC fluorescent molecular probe labeled tumor cells, bright green spots were observed under laser scanning confocal microscope.The bright green spots were more apparent after stained by DAPI again.The tissue samples and tumor cells in the urine can be successful labeled and identified by fluorescence microscope.Optical molecular imaging of in vivo xenograft tumor tissues showed fluorescent spots under EMCCD.Conclusions The labeled loci of single cell by FITC-CSNRDARRC probe have been identified. The spatial resolution of optical molecular image is related to sensitivity of CCD, and the optical molecular imaging cannot be imaged by the conventional endoscope camera.

Objective:To explore the isolation and culture of a better yield of purified human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells. Methods:Digestion with high concentrated collagenase and DNase,filtratinn and adhesion purification were used to isolate,purify human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells in 30samples. And the two kinds of cells were reproduced. Results:The endometrial cell culture was successfully established in 29 of 30 endometrium samples. From one gramme of endometrial tissue,the yields of glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells were (40～50)?10~6 and (40～50)?10~6 respectively. The purities of glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells were 96% and 98% respectively. Stromal cells could be reproduced into several passage. However,glandular epithelial cells could not be reproduced. Conclusion:A better yield of purified human endometrial glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells can be obtained by the modified culture procedure.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of the tissue strain imaging in myocardial dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Sixty-two patients and sixty controls underwent conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography. Peak strain and strain rate value during systolic and diastolic phases as well as E/A, left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were measured in both SLE and the control groups. Results ①E/A,LVFS and LVEF did not differ between SLE patients and controls( P ＞0.05). The systolic peak strain and strain rate of SLE patients were lower than those of controls but without significant differences( P ＞0.05). ②The diastolic peak strain and strain rate of SLE patients were significantly lower than those of controls (P ＜0.01). ③ The diastolic peak strain and strain rate of antiheart antibody (AHA) positive patients were significantly lower than those of negative ones( P ＜0.05). Conclusions Strain and strain rate combining with AHA can sensitively detect myocardial dysfunction of SLE.

Background: Clinical dexamethasone (DEX) treatment or stress in bovines results in extensive physiological changes with prominent hyperglycemia and neutrophils dysfunction. Objectives: To elucidate the effects of DEX treatment in vivo on cellular energy status and the underlying mechanism in circulating neutrophils. Methods: We selected eight-month-old male bovines and injected DEX for 3 consecutive days (1 time/d). The levels of glucose, total protein (TP), total cholesterol (TC), and the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in blood were examined, and we then detected glycogen and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, phosphofructosekinase-1 (PFK1) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity, glucose transporter (GLUT)1, GLUT4, sodium/glucose cotransporter (SGLT)1 and citrate synthase (CS) protein expression and autophagy levels in circulating neutrophils. Results: DEX injection markedly increased blood glucose, TP and TC levels, the Ca 2+ /P 5+ ratio and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and significantly decreased blood IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels. Particularly in neutrophils, DEX injection inhibited p65-NFκB activation and elevated glycogen and ATP contents and SGLT1, GLUT1 and GR expression while inhibiting PFK1 activity, enhancing G6PDH activity and CS expression and lowering cell autophagy levels. Conclusions DEX induced neutrophils glucose uptake by enhancing SGLT1 and GLUT1 expression and the transformation of energy metabolism from glycolysis to pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)-tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. This finding gives us a new perspective on deeper understanding of clinical anti-inflammatory effects of DEX on bovine.

Objective To analyze and investigate the risk factors for intraoperative and postoperative bleeding complications of stent implantation for ruptured intracranial aneurysms(from rupture to operation time ≤14 d). Methods A total of 249 consecutive patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)treated with stent intravascular interventional therapy at the Department of Neurosurgery,Tangdu Hospital,the Second Hospital Affiliated to Air Force Medical University(the Fourth Military Medical University)from August 2014 to July 2017 were enrolled retrospectively.According to whether having intraoperative and postoperative bleeding complications,they were divided into either a hemorrhage complication group(n=33)or a non-complication group(n=216).The baseline data,clinical data,and aneurysm characteristics,including age,sex,hypertension,Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score,aSAH to the patients were documented and analyzed,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for bleeding complications. Results (1)The incidence of perioperative bleeding complications was 13. 3% (33 /249). (2)There was significant difference in GCS scores between the bleeding complication group and the non-complication group (P < 0. 05). There were no significant differences in age,male,hypertension,and aSAH to operation time between the two groups (all P >0. 05). (3)There were significant differences in Hunt-Hess grade (χ2 = 10. 392,P = 0. 001),Fisher score (χ2 = 7. 370,P =0. 007),number of aneurysms (χ2 = 4. 825,P = 0. 028),and aneurysm location (χ2 = 6. 818, P = 0. 033)between the bleeding complication group and the non-complication group. There were no significant differences in Raymond grade between the two groups (P > 0. 05). (4)Taking the occurrence of bleeding complications as a dependent variable,a further multivariate logistic regression analysis on Hunt- Hess grades Ⅲ-Ⅴ and multiple aneurysms was performed after variable screening,the results showed that Hunt-Hess grades Ⅲ-Ⅴ(OR,3. 658,95% CI 1. 660 -8. 061)and multiple aneurysms (OR,2. 667,95% CI 1.178-6.036)were the independent risk factors for stent placement in the treatment of bleeding complications of ruptured intracranial aneurysms(all P <0.05). Conclusions The single stent and stent-assisted coils can be used for endovascular treatment of rupture intracranial aneurysms,but preoperative Hunt-Hess grades Ⅲ-Ⅴ and multiple aneurysms are easy to cause perioperative bleeding complications in patients with aSAH.

Objective:To investigate the application values of bone marrow morphology, bone marrow immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and cytogenetic testing in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.Methods:A total of 280 patients with multiple myeloma who were newly diagnosed in Tianjin KingMed Diagnosis Center from September 2018 to August 2019 were collected. The bone marrow biopsy was carried out according to the routine method, and bone marrow morphology, bone marrow immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry immunophenotyping, FISH and cytogenetic testing were performed. The detection results of each method were compared.Results:In 280 patients, the bone marrow immunohistochemistry results showed that the median ratio of plasma cells was higher than those of bone marrow morphology (20 cases, 0.675 vs. 0.300) and flow cytometry (47 cases, 0.650 vs. 0.147), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = -3.883, P < 0.01; Z = -5.947, P < 0.01). Flow cytometry results showed that the positive rates of CD38, CD138, κ, λ, CD56 and CD19 were 100.0% (280/280), 100.0% (280/280), 57.5% (161/280), 42.5% (119/280), 62.1% (174/280) and 19.3% (54/280); bone marrow immunohistochemistry results showed that the positive rates of CD38, CD138, κ, λ and CD56 were 98.9% (277/280), 98.2% (275/280), 57.5% (161/280), 42.5% (119/280) and 62.1% (174/280); there was no statistical difference between the two detection methods in the detection coincidence rate of the same detection index (all P > 0.05). Among patients who underwent FISH detection, the detection rate of gene abnormalities was 69.9% (93/133); the detection rate of abnormalities by direct fluorescence in situ hybridization (D-FISH) was 42.9% (57/133); the detection rate of abnormalities by CD138 immunomagnetic sorting myeloma cells (MACS)-FISH was 82.7% (110/133). Among patients who underwent G-band karyotyping, the detection rate of abnormal karyotype was 38.5% (85/221). FSIH, especially MACS-FISH, had a higher detection rate of cytogenetic abnormalities than G-band karyotyping, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 65.697, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The comprehensive application of bone marrow morphology, bone marrow immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, FISH (especially MACS-FISH), cytogenetic testing and other detection methods is more helpful for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma, and may be useful for prognostic judgment.

Objective:To develop a prediction tool for 6-year incident risk of frailty among Chinese older adults aged 65 years or above.Methods:Data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey from 2002 to 2018 was used, including 13 676 older adults aged 65 years or above who were free of frailty at baseline. Key predictors of frailty were identified via the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method, and were thereafter used to predict the incident frailty based on the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The model was internally validated by 2 000 Bootstrap resamples and evaluated for the performance of discrimination and calibration using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curve, respectively. The net benefit of the developed prediction tool was evaluated by decision-curve analysis.Results:The M( Q1, Q3) age and follow-up time of the participants were 81.0 (71.0, 90.0) years and 6.0 (4.1, 9.2) years, respectively. A total of 4 126 older persons (30.2%) were recorded with frailty incidents during the follow-up, with the corresponding incidence density of 41.8/1 000 person-years. A total of 15 key predictors of frailty were selected by LASSO, namely, age, sex, race, education years, meat consumption, tea drinking, performing housework, raising domestic animals, playing cards or mahjong, and baseline status of visual function, activities of the daily living score, instrumental activities of the daily living score, hypertension, heart disease, and self-rated health. The prediction model was internally validated with an AUC of 0.802, with the max Youden's index of 0.467 at a risk threshold of 19.0%. The calibration curve showed high consistency between predicted probabilities and observed proportions of frailty events. The decision curve indicated that higher net benefits could be obtained via the prediction model than did strategies based on intervention in all or none participants for any risk threshold less than 59%, and the model-based net benefit was estimated to be 0.10 at a risk threshold of 19.0%. Conclusions:The herein developed 6-year incident risk prediction model of frailty, based on easily accessible questionnaires and physical examination variables, has good predictive performance. It has application potential in identifying populations at high risk of incident frailty.
