Objective To investigate the level of hope, personality characteristics and the care of burden of the primary caregivers of advanced cancer patients, and to analyze the correlation between the level of hope and personality characteristics and care of burden. Methods 201 primary caregivers of terminal cancer patients were selected from May to September in 2016. HHI, NEO-FFI and ZBI were used to investigate the participants. Results The hope of the participants were all in moderate to high levels. The level of hope of the participants was significantly positively correlated with the scores of extraversion and conscientiousness(r =0.165, 0.235, P<0.05). It was significantly negatively correlated with neuroticism, openness, agreeableness and burden care, r =-0.258--0.179, P<0.05. Conclusions The medical staff should give interventions timely according to the personality characteristics and care burden of the main caregivers of patients with advanced cancer, so that the level of hope could be improved in order to improve their psychological health.

Objective To investigate the interactions and effects of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAID) on the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in vitro. Methods After co culturing of gastric cancer cell line AGS cells with H.pylori and/or NSAID (indomethacin and aspirin) for 48 hours, the cell proliferation and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were examined by MTT assay and Western blot. Results cagA positive H.pylori strain NCTC11637, but not cagA negative H.pylori strain NCTC12908, had the effect of enhancing gastric epithelium cell proliferation. However, the effect of proliferation was dependent on the density of H.pylori . It was demonstrated that low density (range from 3.2?10 4 CFU/ml to 4?10 6 CFU/ml) of bacteria suspensions resulted in proliferative effect, while high density (more than 2?10 7 CFU/ml) resulted in inhibition. Besides, indomethacin and aspirin inhibited cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, when AGS cells were incubated with cagA positive H.pylori and NSAID, inhibition rather than proliferation was observed. cagA positive H.pylori strains up regulated the expression of PCNA while indomethacin and aspirin down regulated the level of PCNA expression. Meanwhile, the expression of PCNA was also reduced significantly when AGS was co cultured with H.pylori and NSAID. Conclusions The results indicated that gastric epithelium cell proliferation was associated with different H.pylori strains and its density. cagA positive H.pylori strain is prone to increase cell proliferation, but cagA negative H.pylori strain has no such effect. NSAID can inhibit gastric epithelial cell proliferation and reverse such effect caused by H.pylori.

Objective To study the changes of Th17 cell, regulatory T cell (Treg) and interleukin (IL)-6 in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relationship with disease activity. Methods Percentage of Th17 and Treg in the peripheral blood of 103 patients with SLE and 28 healthy volunteers were detected by flow cytometry. The concentration of IL-6 in SLE patients and healthy volunteers was detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). The disease activity of SLE was measured by SLEDAI. SLE patients were divided into two groups: stable SLE (SLEDAI≤ 9, n=37) and active SLE (SLEDAI>9, n= 66). The change of Th17, Treg, IL -6 and their relationship with disease activity were analyzed. Nonparamentric tests, t -test and spearman correlation were used for statistical analysis. Results The percentage of Th17 cells and the concentration of IL-6 in the peripheral blood in patients with SLE was higher than that in normal controls [respectively for (1.2±1.1)%, (35±92) pg/ml and (0.6±0.4)%, (6±3) pg/ml, P<0.05]. However, the percentage of Treg in patients with SLE was lower than that in normal controls [respectively for (1.6±1.2)%,(2.6±1.8)%, P<0.05]. The percentage of Th17, Th17/Treg IL-6 level in active SLE patients was higher than those in inactive SLE and those in normal controls (P<0.05). However, the percentage of Treg in active SLE was lower than that in stable SLE patients and that in normal controls (P< 0.05). The percentage of Th17, Th17/Treg and concentration of IL-6 was positively correlated to disease activity(P<0.05). But the percentage of Treg had negative correlation with the percentage of Th17 and disease activity (P<0.05). Conclusion Th17, Treg and serum IL-6 in SLE patients are abnormal and they maybe contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin antibodies (anti-MCV) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and compare it with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP), rheumatoid factors (RF). Methods Commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to detect anti-MCV antibodies in a group of 177 RA patients, 46 patients with other rheumatic diseases, and 48 healthy blood donors. At the same time, anti-CCP, RF were detected. T test and χ2 test were selected. Results The average concentration of anti-MCV was (523±376) U/ml in RA, (96± 55) U/ml in patients with other rheumatic diseases, (34±18) U/ml in healthy controls. Different threshold levels (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 U/ml) for positive results were calculated bythe areas under the ROC curve (the areas were 0.521, 0.706, 0.769, 0.791, 0.816, 0.826, 0.822), then the best diagnosis efficacy for RA was determined as more than 120 U/ml. At this level, the sensitivity and the specificity for anti-MCV were 80.1% and 80.9% for RA diagnosis. The positive and negative predictive value were 92% and 67.8%. Comparing with anti-CCP, anti-MCV showed comparable specificity but higher sensitivity. And it's also better than RF apparently. If all 3 antibodies were detected at the same time, or anti-MCV combine with one of them, the sensitivity would increase to 95.7%. In addition, Anti-MCV showed positive in 32 of 67(55.2%) patients with RA whose anti-CCP was negative, meanwhile 31 of 59 (52.5%) patients with RA whose RF was negative. Conclusion RF and anti-CCP are complementary in diagnosing RA. The combination detection of RF and anti-CCP could significantly improve the specificity for the diagnosis of RA.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of prenatal MRI in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS). Methods From January 2009 to December 2014, 16 fetuses with BPS were diagnosed by fetal MRI in Huzhou Maternity and Child Care Hospital and Shanghai Children′s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. The clinical data of these cases were analyzed retrospectively. All were singleton pregnancy, and MRI was carried out within 24-48 hours after routine prenatal ultrasound. All the neonates underwent postnatal enhanced CT scan or surgical biopsy after birth, and the results were compared to prenatal MRI diagnosis. Results (1)With prenatal MRI, 16 cases were diagnosed BPS. The lesions located in left lung in 10 cases, and right lung in 6 cases. As the scope of the lesion, 3 cases located in the whole left lung, 6 cases limited to the left lower lobe, and 1 case was subdiaphragmatic on the left side. 2 cases located in the whole right lung and 4 cases limited to the right lower lobe. One case complicated oligoamnios, and one had pleural effusion. Supplying vessels could be found in 14 cases.(2)When the postnatal results were compared with prenatal MRI, 15 cases were comfirmed as BPS (15/16), including 10 intralobar cases 5 extralobar cases. One that was diagnosed as BPS by prenatal MRI was confirmed to be congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) by pathology. The accuracy of prenatal MRI diagnosis of BPS was 15/16. Prenatal ultrasound missed one case and misdiagnosed two cases, as one was mistakened as CCAM and the other as cystic teratoma. Conclusion Prenatal MRI has good clinical value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fetal BPS.
