Objective To observe the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)on circulation depression in patients underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer under general anesthesia combined with thoracic paravertebral block(TPVB).Methods A total of 150 patients from Octomber 2021 to May 2022,58 males and 92 females,aged 19-64 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer under general anesthesia combined with TPVB were enrolled.According to random number table method,the patients were divided into two groups:the TEAS group and the control group,75 patients in each group.In the TEAS group,transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation was performed at Hegu,Neiguan,and Zusanli 30 minutes be-fore induction until the end of operation.In the control group,the electrodes were only connected at the same time point without electrical stimulation.HR,SBP,DBP,MAP,and BIS were recorded before stimu-lation(T0),10 minutes after TPVB(T1),the time of skin incision(T2),30 minutes after operation star-ted(T3),60 minutes after operation started(T4),the end of operation(T5),and 30 minutes after opera-tion(T6).The incidences of bradycardia,tachycardia,hypotension,and hypertension,and the usages of vasoactive drugs during operation were recorded.The dosages of propofol,sufentanil,and remifentanil in the operation were recorded.The VAS pain score 1,2,and 7 days after operation,the usages of analgesics used within 7 days after operation,postoperative adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting,dizziness,chest tightness,and shortness of breath,and the length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with the control group,intraoperative infusion volume,incidence of hypotension,hypertension,and circulation depression,the usages of deoxyepinephrine,ephedrine,norepinephrine,and urapidil intraoperation,VAS pain scores 1 and 2 days after operation,and the usage of analgesics within 7 days after operation were sig-nificantly decreased(P＜0.05),length of hospital stay was significantly shortened(P＜0.05),SBP,DBP,and MAP were significantly increased at T1(P＜0.05),the dosagesof propofol,sufentanil,and remifentanil were significantly decreased in the TEAS group(P＜0.05).There were no significantly differ-ences of nausea and vomiting,dizziness,and shortness of breath between the two groups.Conclusion TEAS can improve the circulation depression,and reduce the incidences of intraoperative hypotension and hypertension,decrease the dosages of anesthetics and the rate of using vasoactive drugs during operation,improve early postoperative acute pain and shorten the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing thoraco-scopic radical resection of lung cancer under general anesthesia combined with TPVB.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 2 110 patients(34.259%) not undergoing surgical treatment, of which 200 cases(9.479%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 910 cases(90.521%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 4 049 patients(65.741%) undergoing surgical treatment, of which 2 303 cases(56.878%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 746 cases(43.122%) were initial diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. Of the 1 746 patients who were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer, there were 774 cases(19.116%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer during operation and 972 cases(24.006%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer after operation. Of 6 159 patients, there were 2 521 cases(40.932%), 2 335 cases(37.912%) and 1 114 cases(18.087%) undergoing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before initial diagnosis, respec-tively, and there were 3 259 cases(52.914%), 3 172 cases(51.502%) and 4 016 cases(65.205%) undergoing serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis, respectively. One patient may underwent multiple examinations. Results of univariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals, whether undergoing ultrasound, CT, MRI, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis were related factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.45, 1.98, 0.69, 0.68, 2.43, 0.41, 1.63, 0.41, 0.39, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 1.21-1.74, 1.64-2.40, 0.59-0.80, 0.60-0.78, 2.19-2.70, 0.37-0.45, 1.43-1.86, 0.37-0.45, 0.35-0.43, 0.38-0.47, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), sex, age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals and cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initially diagnosis were indepen-dent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.36, 1.42, 0.89, 0.67, 1.85, 1.56, 1.57, 0.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.13-1.64, 1.16-1.73, 0.79-0.99, 0.57-0.78, 1.60-2.14, 1.38-1.77, 1.38-1.79, 0.35-0.43, P<0.05). (4) Surgical treatment and prognosis. Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 447 cases(60.435%) with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. Cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb were 85(3.474%), 201(8.214%), 71(2.902%), 890(36.371%), 382(15.611%), 33(1.348%) and 785(32.080%), respectively. The median follow-up time and median postoperative overall survival time of the 2 447 cases were 55.75 months (95% confidence interval as 52.78-58.35) and 23.46 months (95% confidence interval as 21.23-25.71), respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb ( χ2=512.47, P<0.001). Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 988 cases(73.796%) with resectable tumor, 177 cases(4.371%) with unresectable tumor and 884 cases(21.833%) with tumor unassessable for resectabi-lity. Of the 2 988 cases with resectable tumor, there were 2 036 cases(68.139%) undergoing radical resection, 504 cases(16.867%) undergoing non-radical resection and 448 cases(14.994%) with operation unassessable for curative effect. Of the 2 447 cases with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data who underwent surgical treatment, there were 53 cases(2.166%) with unresectable tumor, 300 cases(12.260%) with resectable tumor and receiving non-radical resection, 1 441 cases(58.888%) with resectable tumor and receiving radical resection, 653 cases(26.686%) with resectable tumor and receiving operation unassessable for curative effect. There were 733 cases not undergoing surgical treatment with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases not undergoing surgical treatment, cases undergoing surgical treatment for unresectable tumor, cases undergoing non-radical resection for resectable tumor and cases undergoing radical resection for resectable tumor ( χ2=121.04, P<0.001). (5) Multimodality therapy and prognosis: of 6 159 patients, there were 541 cases(8.784%) under-going postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and advanced chemotherapy, 76 cases(1.234%) under-going radiotherapy. There were 1 170 advanced gallbladder cancer (pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲa) patients undergoing radical resection, including 126 cases(10.769%) with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 044 cases(89.231%) without postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.23, P=0.629). There were 658 patients with pathological staging as stage Ⅲa who underwent radical resection, including 66 cases(10.030%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 592 cases(89.970%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.05, P=0.817). There were 512 patients with pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲb who underwent radical resection, including 60 cases(11.719%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 452 cases(88.281%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.

Objective:To investigate the effects of ectodysplasin-A1 (EDA1) on the proliferation and cell cycle of ameloblast-like epithelial cells (LS8 cells).Methods:Wild EDA1 plasmid pCR3-Flag-EDA1-W (wild group), syndrome mutant EDA1 plasmid pCR3-Flag-EDA1-H252L (mutant group) and empty vector plasmid pCR3-Flag (control group) were transfected into LS8 cells. Cell proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. All tests were repeated three times.Results:Compared with the control group (0.105±0.032), the proliferation activity of the wild group (0.201±0.009) was significantly higher after 72 h ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group (0.168±0.054) and the mutant group (0.194±0.059), the proliferation activity of the wild group (0.386±0.066) was significantly higher after 96 h ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the mutant group and the control group at all time points ( P>0.05). In the G 0/G 1 phase, compared with the control group (65.4%±2.1%) and the mutant group (66.6%±3.1%), the cell distribution ratio of the wild group (51.2%±1.1%) was significantly lower ( P<0.01). In the S phase, compared with the control group (23.1%±2.0%) and the mutant group (21.9%±1.8%), the cell distribution ratio of the wild type group (37.3%±2.4%) was significantly higher ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in cell cycle distribution between the mutant group and the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Wild EDA1 promotes the proliferation of LS8 cells and the transformation from G 0/G 1 to S phase. The syndrome mutant EDA1 (EDA1-H252L) loses its function of regulating the cell proliferation and cell cycle of LS8 cells.

Objective To provide clinical evidence for the relationship between epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and colorectal cancer(CRC) by detecting the expression of TGF-β, Smad-3 and Smad-7 in serum from CRC patients. Methods We detected the expression levels of TGF-β1 , Smad-3 and Smad-7 by ELISA method. Results The expression levels of TGF-β1 , Smad-3 were significantly higher and the Smad-7 was significantly lower in CRC patients than those in control group(P<0. 01). The expression levels of TGF-β1 and Smad-3 were signifi-cantly higher in Dukes D than those in Dukes B,C. The Smad-7 was significantly lower in Dukes D than that in Dukes B,C(P<0. 01). Conclusion TGF-β1 and Smad-3 and Smad-7 may play an important role in the develop-ment of CRC.

Objective To explore the management of perioperative period on the effect of alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation were reviewed.The location and time of alimentary tract fistulas,and perioperative period of patients were analyzed.Results Of the 25 patients,13 cases(52.0％) were anastomotic fistulas,1 case(4.0％) was bile fistula,2 cases (8.0％) were pancreatic fistulas,4 cases (16.0％) were small intestinal fistulas,and 3 case (12.0％) were duodenal stump fistulas,1 case (4.0％) was anastomotic and duodenal stump fistula,1 case (4.0％) was small intestinal and duodenal stump fistula.The alimentary tract fistulas generally occurred within the first or second week after gastric cancer operation.The incidence rate of gastrointestinal leakage was 64.0％ in gastric cancer with diabetes patients,56.0％ in gastric cancer with elderly patients,40.0％ in gastric cancer with anemia patients,36.0％ in gastric cancer with hypoproteinemia patients,16.0％ in gastric cancer with multivisceral excisions.21 cases of gastrointestinal leakage were healed after conservative treatment.2 cases with gastrointestinal leakage by operation treatment were healed.2 patients died,one died of intra-abdominal hemorrhage,one case died of MODF.Conclusion Strengthening the management of patients with alimentary tract fistulas after gastric cancer operation can promote the healing of fistula in perioperative period.

Objective To evaluate the lung protection of remote limb ischemic preconditioning during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection.Methods Seventyone patients of both sexes,aged 30-64 yr,with body mass index of 15-28 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective esophageal cancer resection,were randomly divided into control group (group C,n =34) and remote limb ischemic preconditioning group (group RLIP,n =37) using a random number table.Patients in group RLIP received three cycles of 5-min ischemia/5-min reperfusion induced by a blood pressure cuff placed on one upper arm before OLV.Before OLV (T0),at 1 and 2 h of OLV (T1,2),at 20 min after re-expansion of the collapsed lung (T3),and at 2 h after operation (T4),blood samples were drawn from the radial artery for blood gas analysis,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDO2) were calculated.At T0,T2,T3 and T4,blood samples were collected from the radial artery for determination of plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and IL-10 concentrations.Results Compared with group C,PaO2/FiO2 was significantly increased,and A-aDO2was decreased at T1,2,the plasma TNF-α concentrations were decreased at T2-4 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the plasma IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations and rate of abnormal pulmonary function at T1-4 in group RLIP (P＞O.05).Conclusion Although remote limb ischemic preconditioning can produce lung protection during OLV in the patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection,it provides no clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the recognition status and attitudes of general practice medical professional for rural-oriented clinical medical (general practice direction) students, and provide effective basis for teaching reform. Methods Using cluster sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 305 rural-oriented medical students in Hubei Medical University who belonged to four different grades. The questionnaire effective recovery was 98.07%, SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze data, pro-portion (%) were used for statistical descriptive, chi-square test and nonparametric test were used for statis-tical inference. Results 16% (49) students believed that it was not necessary for local medical colleges and universities to set up general practice professional, The rates of students who understood this professional training objectives, employment channel, the future work and professional developments were 82.3% (251 students ), 64.5% (197 students ), 69.2% (211 students) and 66.9% (204 students ), respectively. 27.5%(84) of the students still didn't understand this professional curriculum, and lower cognitive learning public health curriculum. Only 31.1%(105) of students were satisfied with the current general medicine education.52.5% (160) students thought that the professional curriculum system had problems, mainly for the course content overlap and course setting time being not reasonable. Different grades of students had different de-gree of satisfaction in the professional knowledge, the general practice of professional learning attitude, teaching arrangement . Conclusion We should strengthen rural-oriented medical students' ! professional education thought and their cognition of general medicine as soon as possible and integrate and optimize the curriculum system, adjust the teaching content and set up reasonable curriculum opening time.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Yupingfeng powder on immune function of rats with lung-qi deficiency syn-drome. METHODS:60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive group [Renshen beiqi tablet 0.6 g (crude drug)/kg] and Yupingfeng powder high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups [24,12,6 g (crude drug)/kg],with 10 rats in each group. Except for normal group,those groups were given SO2+comprehensive cold stimulation to induce lung-qi defi-ciency syndrome model. After modeling,treatment groups were given relevant drug solutions intragastrically,and normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 13 d. After administra-tion,serum levels of IL-3 and IL-6,the proportion of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+in T lymphocyte were determined,and pathological chang-es of lung and bronchus were observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,serum levels of IL-3 and IL-6 and the propor-tion of CD8+ in T lymphocyte increased significantly in model group,while the proportions of CD3+ and CD4+ in T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ decreased(P<0.01);obvious lung and bronchus injury and inflammatory reaction were observed. Compared with model group,serum level of IL-3 decreased significantly in positive group and Yupingfeng powder high-dose group;serum level of IL-6 and the proportion of CD8 + in T lymphocyte decreased significantly in positive group and Yupingfeng powder high-dose and medium-dose groups,while the proportion of CD3+ in T lymphocyte increased significantly;the proportion of CD4+and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+increased significantly in treatment groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01);lung and bronchial injury,and inflam-mation reaction were relieved. CONCLUSIONS:Yupingfeng powder can enhance immune function of rats with lung-qi deficiency syndrome.

Objective To explore and evaluate the effects of participatory teaching approach in the teaching of medical research methods. Methods The students of clinical medicine of Grade 2007 who took the elective course of medical scientific research method were taken as traditional teaching group, taught by teachers only, while the students of clinical medicine of Grade 2008 and 2009 as participatory teaching group, adopting the way of teachers' lectures and students' participation. At the end of the course, the questionnalre survey method combining interviews was used to investigate the teaching effectiveness, using descriptive analysis and chi-square test to compare the effectiveness between the traditional teaching methods and the participatory teaching methods. Results Compared with the traditional 'teachers centered' method, the 'participatory teaching approach' had better teach-ing results. Through the study of this course, 54 students (42.9%) learned how to conduct scientific research topics, 44 students (34.9%) mastered the design of the questionnalre, 59 students (46.8%) enhanced their ability of data analysis. Students' learning motivation and satisfaction were higher, and 117 student's participation (92.8%) were satisfied with the curriculum setting. Conclusion In medical research method teaching, the effect of participatory teaching method teaching is superior to the tradi-tional teaching method, and students' motivation and satisfaction are higher.

Objective To determine whether ultrasound (US) exposure combined with microbubble destruction could be used to enhance non-viral gene delivery in rat C6 glioma cells. Methods Microbubbles were prepared and gently mixed with plasmid DNA. The mixture of the DNA and microbubbles was administered to cultured C6 cells under different US/microbubble conditions. US parameters adopted in this study were frequency 1 MHz, output intensity 1 W/cm2, duty cycle 20%, exposure time 30 seconds. Transfection efficiency and cell viability were assessed by FACS analysis, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and Try pan blue staining. Results Microbubble with US exposure could significantly enhance the reporter gene expression as compared with other groups. No statistical significant difference was observed in the glioma cell viability between different groups. Conclusions US-mediated microbubble destruction has the potential to promote safe and efficient gene transfer into C6 cells,and it may be useful for safe clinical gene therapy of brain cancer without a viral vector system.
