Objective To observe the impact of cold circulation liquid temperature on ablation focus morphology of microwave ablation(MWA)for in vitro porcine liver tissue.Methods Twenty in vitro fresh porcine liver blocks were randomly divided into ice water circulation group(group A)and normal temperature circulation group(group B),respectively.Ten target ablations in each subgroups in group A and group B,i.e.A1 and B1(50 W,1 min),A2 and B2(50 W,5 min),A3 and B3(60 W,1 min),A4 and B4(60 W,5 min),A5 and B5(70 W,1 min)as well as A6 and B6(70 W,5 min)subgroups were performed using different ablation power(50,60,70 W)and ablation time(1,5 min),respectively.Then the morphology indexes of ablation foci,including longitudinal diameter(LD),transverse diameter(TD),roundness index(RI)and volume(V)were compared between subgroups in group A and B,also among subgroups within group A and B.Results Under the same ablation power and time,LD of ablation foci in subgroups of group A were all smaller than those of group B(all P＜0.05).Significant differences of RI of ablation foci were found between A1 and B1,A2 and B2,A4 and B4,A5 and B5 as well as A6 and B6 subgroups(all P＜0.05),but not between A3 and B3 subgroups(P＞0.05).However,the main effect of cold circulation liquid temperature on ablation focus TD(F=1.125)nor V(F=3.332)was not significant(both P≥0.05).Under the same cold circulation liquid temperature,significant differences of the morphology indexes of ablation foci were detected between A1 and A2,A3 and A4 as well as A5 and A6 subgroups,also between corresponding subgroups in group B(all P＜0.05).Conclusion During MWA for in vitro porcine liver tissue under constant ablation power and time,taken ice water as the cold circulation liquid was benefit to ablation focus shaped spherically.With the extension of ablation time,the larger the ablation focus,the higher the RI.

Objective·To explore the correlation between the genetic variations rs7305526 and rs11615756 of nitric oxide synthase 1(NOS1)and the human sleep traits,including insomnia,sleep duration,and clinical quantitative traits related to obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Methods·The NOS1 gene expression pattern at the whole-brain level using the Allen Human Brain Atlas dataset was analyzed.Subsequently,we performed expression quantitative trait locus(eQTL)analysis to investigate the impact of rs7305526 and rs11615756 on NOS1 gene expression.Regression analysis was conducted to assess the associations between rs7305526 and rs11615756 with insomnia and sleep duration based on the United Kingdom Biobank(UKB)Genome-Wide Association Study(GWAS)dataset.Furthermore,we explored the relationships between rs7305526 and rs11615756 with clinical quantitative traits of OSA,such as respiratory events,oxygen levels,and sleep traits,using clinical monitoring data from the Shanghai Sleep Health Study Cohort(SSHS)based on standard polysomnography(PSG).Results·The NOS1 gene demonstrated elevated levels of expression in various brain regions crucial for regulating sleep,namely the amygdala,basal forebrain,striatum,and thalamus,as well as in the respiratory center,including the mesencephalon and pontine tegmentum.In contrast,the expression level of NOS1 gene was significantly reduced or absent in areas such as the cerebral cortex and cerebellum.Variants rs7305526 and rs11615756 were significantly negatively correlated with the expression levels of NOS1 in the cerebral cortex.Additionally,rs11615756 was also significantly negatively correlated with the expression level of NOS1 in the amygdala.Analysis of the UKB GWAS data revealed that the variant rs7305526 was not significantly associated with either insomnia or sleep duration,while rs11615756 demonstrated a noteworthy negative correlation specifically with sleep duration.Data obtained from the SSHS indicated a significant association between rs7305526 and alterations in clinical quantitative traits of OSA,including lowest pulse blood oxygen saturation(LSpO2),apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),and the ratio of non-rapid eye movement(NREM)stage 2 sleep duration.Although rs11615756 showed a notable negative correlation solely with the quantity of NREM stages 2 and 3,both rs11615756 and rs7305526 showed significant correlations with some respiratory events and oxygen traits after stratification according to the severity of OSA.Conclusion·Genetic variants of NOS1 gene are respectively associated with human sleep duration traits and OSA-related variables,suggesting that NOS1 gene plays a crucial regulatory role in human sleep and clinical quantitative traits of OSA.The regulation of sleep traits by rs7305526(C>A)is independent of its regulation of respiratory events and oxygen traits.

Objective:To understand the time for observation and related factors in the clinics after vaccination among children's parents.Methods:From December 2019 to January 2020, parents of children aged 0-3 years were recruited by multiple-stage sampling from 34 vaccination clinics in 12 districts and counties in 6 provinces (Shandong, Guangdong, Henan, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, and Liaoning). A questionnaire survey on the time of observation after vaccination was conducted. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of parental observation time after vaccination.Results:A total of 3 292 parents of 0-3 year's old children were selected, and 3 178 parents were finally included in the analysis. 87.85%(2 792/3 178) of the parents reported that the observation time after vaccination at clinics was ≥30 minutes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for the regions, the main factors affecting the observation time at clinics after vaccination among parents appeared as observation time informed by physicians at the clinic appeared ≥30 minutes ( OR=31.622, 95% CI: 19.847-50.384), parents were medical personnel ( OR=2.779, 95% CI: 1.505-5.133), parents being volunteers working on vaccination-related publicity and education activities ( OR=1.986, 95% CI: 1.438-2.743), parents aged 35 years old or above ( OR=1.900, 95% CI: 1.215-2.971), being parents of the first child ( OR=1.663, 95% CI: 1.282-2.156), per capita annual income of the family as 8 000- Yuan ( OR=1.646, 95% CI: 1.168-2.319), children aged 0-12 months old ( OR=1.646, 95% CI: 1.203-2.252) or 13-24 months old ( OR=1.506, 95% CI: 1.064-2.133), obedient to physicians' advice at the clinic ( OR=1.481, 95% CI: 1.067-2.055). Conclusions:The proportions of parents observed for ≥30 minutes at the clinics of vaccination were high. When the information was from the physicians at the vaccination clinic, the observation time was the most critical factor for parents to observe at clinics as required.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical application of the peripheral totally implantable venous access port(TIVAP) in breast cancer chemotherapy patients,and to understand the clinical applicability and safety of peripheral TIVAP.METHODS: The clinical data of 201 cases using peripheral TIVAP of multi-course chemotherapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from March 2017 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.The difference of composition ratio of various complications,and difference between the conventional pressure bandaging method and the modified pressure bandaging method for incision hemorrhage,the conventional implantation method and the improved implantation method for catheter ectopic and the difference of the catheter ectopic after left/right peripheral vein TIVAP placement were compared.RESULTS: There were 50 cases(24.9%) of postoperative complications,15 cases(7.5%) of incision hemorrhage,4 cases(2.0%)of catheter-related thrombosis,3 cases(1.5%) of base exposure,4 cases(2.0%) of sack infection,15 cases(7.5%)of primary catheter ectopic,7 cases(3.5%) with no blood withdrawal,2 cases(1.0%) with catheter-related upper limb movement limitation.Using the goodness of fit test(equal ratio) to compare the composition ratio of various complications,χ~2=30.520,P<0.001,the proportion of complications was not obeyed,and the proportion of incision hemorrhage and catheter ectopic was the highest.The conventional pressure bandaging method(78 cases) and the modified pressure bandaging method(123 cases) showed incision bleeding,and the difference was statistically significant [11 cases(14.1%) vs.4 cases(3.3%),χ~2=6.642,P=0.010];the conventional implantation method(90 cases) and the modified implantation method(121 cases) were compared with catheter ectopic,and the difference was statistically significant [9 cases(10.0%) vs.3 cases(2.4%) χ~2=4.131,P=0.042];there was no statistically significant difference in catheter ectopic position after left(106 cases)/right(95 cases) peripheral TIVAP implantation [8 cases(7.5%) vs.7 cases(7.3%),χ~2=0.020,P=0.962].CONCLUSION: The complication of peripheral TIVAP can be effectively controlled through safe management,close observation and active treatment.TIVAP is still a safe and effective intravenous infusion channel for long-term clinical use if there is no contraindication.

Objective: To summarize the treatment experience of patients with different degree of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb. Methods: A batch of 13 patients with different degree of ARDS caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb, including 2 patients complicated by pulmonary fibrosis at the late stage, were admitted to our unit in February 2016. Patients were divided into mild (9 cases), moderate (2 cases), and serious (2 cases) degree according to the ARDS Berlin diagnostic criteria. Patients with mild and moderate ARDS were conventionally treated with glucocorticoid. Patients with severe ARDS were sequentially treated with glucocorticoid and pirfenidone, and ventilator-assisted breathing, etc. were applied. The vital signs, arterial oxygenation index, changes of lung imaging, pulmonary ventilation function, general condition, and the other important organs/systems function were timely monitored according to the condition of patients. The above indexes were also monitored during the follow-up time of 10-15 months post injury. Data were processed with SPSS 18.0 statistical software. Results: (1) The symptoms of respiratory system of patients with mild and moderate ARDS almost disappeared after 3 days′ treatment. Their arterial oxygenation index was decreased from post injury day 1 to 4, which almost recovered on post injury day 7 and completely recovered one month post injury. The symptoms of respiratory system of patients with severe ARDS almost disappeared at tranquillization condition 1-3 month (s) post injury. Their arterial oxygenation index was decreased from post injury day 3 to 21, which gradually recovered 1-3 month (s) post injury and was normal 15 months post injury. (2) Within 24 hours post injury, there was no obvious abnormality or only a little texture enlargement of lung in image of chest CT or X-rays of patients with mild and moderate ARDS. One patient with moderate ARDS had diffuse patchy and ground-glass like increased density shadow (pulmonary exudation for short) at post injury hour 96. Chest iconography of all patients with mild and moderate ARDS showed no abnormalities 10 months post injury. Both lungs of each of the two patients with severe ARDS showed obvious pulmonary exudation at post injury hours 45 and 75, respectively. One patient with severe ARDS showed no abnormality in chest image 10 months post injury, but there was still a small mesh-like increased density shadow in double lobes with slight adhesion of pleura in the other patient with severe ARDS 15 months post injury. (3) All patients showed severe restrictive hypoventilation when admitted to hospital. Pulmonary ventilation function of patients with mild and moderate ARDS recovered to normal one month post injury, and they could do exercises like running, etc. Pulmonary ventilation function of one patient with severe ARDS recovered to normal 6 months post injury, and the patient could do exercises like running, etc. The other patient with severe ARDS showed mild restrictive hypoventilation 15 months post injury and could do exercises like rapid walking, etc. (4) The condition of all mild and one moderate ARDS patients was better on post injury day 3, and they were transferred to the local hospital for subsequent treatment and left hospital on post injury day 21. One patient with moderate ARDS healed and left hospital on post injury day 29. Patients with severe ARDS healed and left hospital on post injury day 81. During the follow-up time of 10-15 months post injury, the other important organs/systems of all patients showed no abnormality, and there was no adverse reaction of glucocorticoid like osteoporosis, femoral head necrosis, or metabolic disorder. Two patients with severe ARDS did not have any adverse reaction of pirfenidone like liver function damage, photosensitivity, anorexia, or lethargy. Conclusions Early enough and uninterrupted application of glucocorticoid can significantly reduce the ARDS of patients caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb. Sequential application of glucocorticoid and pirfenidone can effectively treat pulmonary fibrosis at the late stage.

RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) is a multiligand receptor on the cell surface.Ligand-RAGE inter-actions activate several signal transduction pathways that propa-gate cellular oxidative stress and inflammatory response.RAGE expressed on the CD4 + T cells has been identified as a central transduction receptor which affects the activation,proliferation, migration and differentiation of the cells.In addition,blockade of RAGE suppressed the development of multiple immune-related
disorders mediated by CD4 + T cells.These studies highlight the importance of RAGE and its ligands for CD4 + T cells.This arti-cle briefly reviews the role of RAGE and its ligands on the prolif-eration,migration and differentiation of CD4 + T cells and sum-marizes the related research progress.

Objective To study the expression and its clinical significance of Oct4 in prostate cancer.Methods The Oct4 mRNA expression levels in 2 normal prostate (NP) samples and 8 prostate cancer (Pca) samples were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.The Oct4 protein expression levels in 10 NP samples,10 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) samples and 45 Pca samples were detected by immunohisochemical analysis.Results The relative expression levels of Oct4 mRNA were 0.91,0.76,0.66,0.63,0.55,0.50,0.48,0.42 in 8 Pca samples and 0 in 2 NP samples,respectively.The positive rates of Oct4 protein expression was higher in Pca tissues than in NP and BPH tissues (91.1％ vs.0.0％,91.1％ vs.0.0％,both P＜0.05).The level of Oct4 protein was increased with higher hostologic grade and clinical stage of prostate cancer.The strong positive rates of Oct4 expression were 72.7％ and 30.0％ in Pca tissues with and without lymph node metastasis respectively,and there was a significant difference in the strong positive rate between them (P＜0.05).Conclusions The Oct4 expression is closely related to the differentiation and invasion of tumor.Oct4 might be an important index for the prognosis of prostate cancer.
