Objective:To investigate the distribution of 99Tc m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) at different stages of bone injury repair. Methods:A total of 30 rabbit models of femur injury were established by the method of electric drill and perforation of femur. According to the different stages of bone injury repair (at 1, 2 and 3 week), rabbits were divided into group A, B and C ( n=10 each group). Femoral SPECT/CT imaging was performed on the last day of different stages of bone injury repair to obtain radioactivity counts in the region of interest (ROI) on the test side and control side and to calculate target/background ratio (T/B). The light intensity of 3 groups was analyzed by phosphor screen imaging and the distribution of 99Tc m-MDP in bone cells was observed by autoradiography. One-way analysis of variance and paired t test were used to analyze the data. Results:The T/B values of group A, B and C were 1.16±0.14, 1.39±0.23 and 1.18±0.10, respectively ( F=5.83, P<0.01). There were significant differences of the maximum radiation count between the test side (50.00±12.45, 59.50±12.83 and 55.10±9.26) and the control side (43.20±9.57, 50.00±12.30 and 44.30± 6.50) in group A, B and C ( t values: 3.24, 2.28 and 5.77, all P<0.05). There were significant differences in the light intensity of bone specimens in group A, B and C by phosphor screen imaging (37 324.67±6 481.50, 60 950.33±9 781.72 and 43 905.00±4 957.92; F=8.25, P=0.02). 99Tc m-MDP were deposited in both intracellular and extracellular during different stages of bone repair in osteocytes and osteoblasts under autoradiography. Conclusion:At different stages of bone injury repair, the concentration of 99Tc m-MDP is significantly distributed, suggesting that there are other ways of concentration mechanism of 99Tc m-MDP in bone tissue besides the chemical adsorption with hydroxyapatite.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Danhong injection combined with pantoprazole sodium on patients with acute exacerbation of respiratory failure. Methods 104 patients with acute exacerbation of respiratory failure were treated in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2017. They were selected and equally divided into two groups with the method of random number table. The two groups were given the same basic treatment, and the control group was treated with pantoprazole sodium on this basis. The treatment group was treated with Danhong injection on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of two groups were recorded. Results After 15 days of the treatment, the total effective rate of the treatment group was 94.2%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group 71.2%(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the control group and the treatment group. Conclusion Danhong injection combined with pantoprazole sodium is effective and safe in the treatment of acute exacerbations of respiratory failure, which is worthy of clinical practice and popularization.

Rational nutritional support shall be based on nutritional screening and nutritional assessment.This study is aimed to explore nutritional risk screening and its influencing factors of hospitalized patients in central urban area.It is helpful for the early detection of problems in nutritional supports,nutrition management and the implementation of intervention measures,which will contribute a lot to improving the patient's poor clinical outcome.A total of three tertiary medical institutions were enrolled in this study.From October 2015 to June 2016,1202 hospitalized patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled in Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) for nutritional risk screening,including 8 cases who refused to participate,5 cases of same-day surgery and 5 cases of coma.A single-factor chi-square test was performed on 312 patients with nutritional risk and 872 hospitalized patients without nutritional risk.Logistic regression analysis was performed with univariate analysis (P＜0.05),to investigate the incidence of nutritional risk and influencing factors.The incidence of nutritional risk was 26.35％ in the inpatients,25.90％ in male and 26.84％ in female,respectively.The single-factor analysis showed that the age ≥60,sleeping disorder,fasting,intraoperative bleeding,the surgery in recent month,digestive diseases,metabolic diseases and endocrine system diseases had significant effects on nutritional risk (P＜0.05).Having considered the above-mentioned factors as independent variables and nutritional risk (Y=1,N=0)as dependent variable,logistic regression analysis revealed that the age ≥60,fasting,sleeping disorders,the surgery in recent month and digestive diseases are hazardous factors for nutritional risk.Nutritional risk exists in hospitalized patients in central urban areas.Nutritional risk screening should be conducted for inpatients.Nutritional intervention programs should be formulated in consideration of those influencing factors,which enable to reduce the nutritional risk and to promote the rehabilitation of inpatients.

Objective To analyze the expression levels of the three different subtypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPARs),including PPAR-α,PPAR-β and PPAR-γ,in the ectopic lesion tis-sues of the patients with endometriosis(EMs)in order to provide new methods for this disease diagnosis.Methods The ectopic endometrial tissue samples from 30 patients with EMs treated by laparoscopic surgery in this hospital from April to December 2021 were selected as the experimental group,and the ovarian lesion tissue samples from 30 patients with mature cystic teratoma of the ovary(MCTO)during the same period treated by laparoscopic surgery were selected as the control group.The expression levels of PPAR-α,PPAR-βand PPAR-γ in lesion tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry,and their expression differences between the experimental group and control group were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to evaluate the diagnostic value of the ratios of PPAR-α/PPAR-β,PPAR-α/PPAR-γ,and PPAR-β/PPAR-γ for EMs.Results The expression levels of PPAR-α,PPAR-β and PPAR-γ in the lesion tis-sues of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).In the pa-tients with EMs,PPAR-α was predominantly expressed(P＜0.05),whereas in the patients with MCTO,PPAR-γ was predominantly expressed(P＜0.05).In the ROC curve of PPAR-α/PPAR-β ratio for diagnosing EMs,when the cutoff value was 1.251,the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.65(95％CI:0.51-0.80),the sensitivity was 90.00％,and the specificity was 50.00％.In the ROC curve of PPAR-α/PPAR-γ ratio for diag-nosing EMs,when the cutoff value was 0.817,AUC was 0.88(95％CI:0.78-0.99),the sensitivity was 96.67％and the specificity was 80.00％.In the curve of the PPAR-β/PPAR-γ ratio for diagnosing EMs,when the cutoff value was 0.755,AUC was 0.91(95％CI:0.82-1.00),the sensitivity was 100.00％,and the speci-ficity was 86.67％.Conclusion The expression of PPAR-α in the ectopic lesion tissues of the patients with EMs is significantly higher than that of PPAR-β and PPAR-γ,while in lesion tissues of the patients with MC-TO,the PPAR-γ expression is predominant.The PPAR-β/PPAR-γ ratio may become a potential biomarker for diagnosing EMs.

BACKGROUNDPolymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN), one of the most important inflammatory cells, functions throughout the initiation, progression and resolution of inflammation. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between PMN apoptosis and the lung injury after chest impact trauma.

METHODSPMNs were purified from rabbits subjected to the chest impact trauma and their apoptosis, necrosis, survival and respiratory burst were detected by flow cytometry. Meanwhile, lactate dehydrogenase and (LDH) [Ca2+]i were measured.

RESULTSThe delayed apoptosis of PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was observed from 2 hours to 12 hours after trauma, and viable cells increased. Respiratory burst of PMNs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was increased significantly from 2 hours with the peak at 8 hours. Meanwhile, lactate dehydrogenase in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was higher than that in control (P < 0.05) from 4 hours to 24 hours, and intracellular free Ca2+ in PMN was increased temporarily.

CONCLUSIONSRetention of PMN in tissues and the abnormality in apoptotic pathway inevitably generate persistent activation of PMN and excessive release of toxic substances, resulting in tissue injury. The temporary increase of intracellular free Ca2+ may be responsible for the delayed apoptosis of PMN.

Objective To explore the detection trend of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia(VaIN)of lower genital tract from 2013 to 2015. Methods A retrospective analysis was undertaken of colposcopy-directed biopsy of cervical, vaginal and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia lesions include cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), VaIN and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January 2013 to December 2015. Results (1) Overall data of CIN, VaIN and VIN:a total of 16732 cases were diagnosed of lower genital intraepithelial neoplasia in 3 years, accounting for 23.20% (16732/72128) of total colposcopy-directed biopsy cases. Among them, CIN, VaIN and VIN accounted for 19.48%(14053/72128), 2.67%(1923/72128), 1.05%(756/72128) of total colposcopy-directed biopsy cases of the lower genital tract, 83.99%(14053/16732), 11.49%(1923/16732), 4.52%(756/16732) of total lower genital intraepithelial neoplasia, respectively. (2) Annual data of CIN, VaIN and VIN from 2013 to 2015. The annual proportion of CIN in all intraepithelial neoplasia of lower gential tract was basically stable, consisting of 86.02%(3955/4598),83.25%(4795/5760) and 83.20%(5303/6374), respectively. The annual proportion of VaIN was gradually increasing, consisting of 8.09% (372/4598), 12.45%(717/5760) and 13.08%(834/6374), respectively. The annual proportion of VIN was gradually decreasing, consisting of 5.89% (271/4598), 4.31% (248/5760) and 3.72% (237/6374), respectively. Conclusion The increasing detection of VaIN from 2013 to 2015 might correlate with the increasing attention to inspection of the entire vaginal wall.

Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children, mostly caused by respiratory syncytial virus. At present, the treatment mainly includes oxygen therapy, control of wheezing, maintenance of internal environment stability and so on. Most cases of bronchiolitis still lack specific antimicrobial agents. To explore a new treatment method for bronchiolitis is helpful to improve the symptoms, shorten hospitalization days,and improve the prognosis of children with moderate to severe bronchiolitis, especially those younger than 6 months with high risk factors.
