Objective To investigate the levels and clinical significance of serum microRNA(miR)-651 and miR-630 in patients with cervical cancer.Methods From June 2017 to May 2020,108 cervical cancer patients accepted by our hospital were collected as the cervical cancer group.Meantime,100 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)patients treated in our hospital were regarded as the CIN group,and 110 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination were regarded as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was applied to detect serum levels of miR-651 and miR-630,while analyzing the relationship between serum miR-651 and miR-630 as well as clinical features and prognosis of patients.Results The serum levels of miR-651 and miR-630 in the cervical cancer group and CIN group were obviously lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the serum levels of miR-651 and miR-630 in the cervical cancer group were obviously lower than those in the CIN group(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum miR-651 and miR-630 were positively corre-lated(r = 0.542,P<0.05).The serum levels of miR-651 and miR-630 were related to HPV infection,differentia-tion,lymph node metastasis,and FIGO staging(P<0.05).The overall survival rate of patients with low levels of miR-651 and miR-630 was lower than that of patients with high levels.Cox regression analysis showed that,HPV infection,degree of differentiation,lymph node metastasis,FIGO staging,miR-651,and miR-630 were all influ-encing factors for the prognosis of cervical cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of miR-651 and miR-630 in cervical cancer patients decrease,which are related to HPV infection,differentiation,lymph node metastasis,FIGO staging,and prognosis.

ObjectiveTo establish the fingerprint of seven commercially available Yangyin Qingfei preparations， to quantitatively analyze the index components， to evaluate their quality uniformity with multivariate statistical analysis， and to explore the quality differences among different dosage forms. MethodA total of 33 batches of commercially available 7 kinds of Yangyin Qingfei preparations were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， the fingerprints were established and the common peaks were identified. Paeoniflorin， verbascoside， harpagoside， glycyrrhizic acid and paeonol were selected as the indicators of quality attributes to quantitatively analyze 33 batches of preparations. Based on the administration methods of Yangyin Qingfei preparations， the daily intake was calculated and the radar charts were poltted， and cluster analysis and principal component analysis were used to explore the quality differences of 7 kinds of Yangyin Qingfei preparations and the quality uniformity among different batches of the same dosage form. ResultThe similarity of fingerprints of 7 dosage forms was 0.248-0.956， suggesting that there were significant differences among different dosage forms of Yangyin Qingfei preparations， and a total of 15 common peaks were calibrated， of which peak 7， peak 8， peak 11， peak 13 and peak 15 were paeoniflorin， verbascoside， harpagoside， glycyrrhizic acid and paeonol， respectively. The radar plots showed that the average total daily intake of large honeyed pills and water honeyed pills was the highest， and the uniformity of pill components was better. The quality of 33 batches of samples was divided into poor quality and high quality by cluster analysis. Principal component analysis showed that the uniformity and dosage form of different dosage forms were significantly different， the oral liquid had the best quality homogeneity with the minimum dispersion. And the content of paeonol in different dosage forms was significantly different， which was the key component of quality control of Yangyin Qingfei preparations. ConclusionYangyin Qingfei large honeyed pills and water honeyed pills show high content and good uniformity， which are relatively preferred dosage forms. Different preparation processes have a great influence on the content of paeonol， and its quality control should be emphasized during production. This study provides a scientific method for the comparison of product quality of different dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions， which is helpful for the development of preferred dosage forms of different prescriptions， and provides a reference for efficient use of medication in the clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in tumor registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2019.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. The tumor registration data reported by 13 tumor registration areas in Shanxi Province in 2019 were collected, and the overall incidence and mortality of breast cancer were analyzed. The stratified analysis was conducted by gender and region, and the incidence, mortality, accumulation rate (0-74 years old), age-specific incidence rate, age-specific mortality rate, Chinese population standardized rate and world population standardized rate were calculated. The standard population was based on the 2000 China population census standard population composition and Segi world standard population composition.Results:In 2019, there were 871 new cases of breast cancer in the tumor registration areas of Shanxi Province, with an incidence rate of 17.83/100 000, and 202 deaths, with a mortality rate of 4.13/100 000. The age-specific incidence of breast cancer was at a low level in 0-25 years old, it increased rapidly after 30 years old, and reached a peak in people aged 60 years old. The age-specific mortality showed a slow rising trend with the increase of age, and increased rapidly in people over 75 years old. The age-specific incidence and mortality of breast cancer in female were higher than those in male. Although the general trend of change concerning urban and rural age-specific incidence was similar, the trend of change concerning urban and rural age-specific mortality had their own characteristics. In 4 urban tumor registration areas, the highest male and female Chinese population standardized incidence rates were found in Yuci District of Jinzhong City (0.62/100 000) and Yangquan City (41.86/100 000). Male Chinese population standardized mortality rate was 0/100 000, and the highest female Chinese population standardized mortality rate was found in Yangquan City (12.62/100 000). In 9 rural tumor registration areas, the highest male and female Chinese population standardized incidence rates were found in Jishan County (2.59/100 000) and Pingding County (36.42/100 000). The highest Chinese population standardized mortality rates were found in Yuanqu County (0.89/100 000) and Jishan County (4.82/100 000).Conclusions:Women, urban area people and middle-aged and elderly people are the foci of breast cancer prevention and control in Shanxi Province.

ICU acute respiratory distress syndrome has a high morbidity and mortality rate, and these patients usually need mechanical ventilation to maintain their respiratory function during treatment. However, improper setting of mechanical ventilation parameters may lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of VILI, ARDSnet recommends the use of a protective ventilation strategy with low tidal volume and limited airway plateau pressure. However, from the perspective of ventilator energy transfer, VILI is actually the result of a combination of respiratory parameters such as tidal volume, airway pressure, and respiratory rate. The mechanical power well reflects the combined effect of the above parameters and is increasingly becoming a hot topic in clinical research. In this review paper, the definitions of mechanical energy and mechanical power were introduced, and the calculation methods of mechanical power under different respiratory modes are summarized. Moreover, the clinical studies related to mechanical power and VILI and further exploration of the safety threshold of mechanical power are reviewed. It is expected to provide new ideas for the future clinical development of personalized mechanical ventilation strategies and the effective prevention of VILI.

The practitioners in 539 county hospitals from 25 provinces participating in the program in 2019 were assessed for techniques and skills for endoscopic cleaning and disinfection and the excellence rate was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the examination. Results:A total of 1 671 endoscopic cleaning and disinfection practitioners participated in the assessment with the score of 73.41±16.60. The passing rate was 85.82%, and the excellence rate was 44.94%. Among all questions, the correct rate of "opportunistic screening flow chart" was the highest (98.21%), and that of "the evaluation index for mass screening" was the lowest (57.89%). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the excellence rate was high in practitioners who had a bachelor degree or above ( OR=1.627,95% CI:1.319-2.007, P<0.001), the career for 5 to <15 years (5 to <10 years: OR=1.329,95% CI:1.045-1.689, P=0.020; 10 to <15 years: OR=1.384,95% CI:1.026-1.867, P=0.033), working in eastern and central regions (eastern regions: OR=3.476,95% CI:2.368-5.103, P<0.001;central regions: OR=4.028,95% CI:2.679-6.057, P<0.001) and with full understanding of the screening scheme ( OR=1.547,95% CI:1.246-1.921, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Practitioners on the Early Diagnosis and Treatment Program for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers in rural China have mastered the basic screening scheme and skills for endoscopic cleaning and disinfection. The education background, duration of the career, area and understanding of screening scheme are influencing factors for the excellence rate of endoscopic cleaning and disinfection.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the proportion of peripheral blood follicular T helper cells(Tfh cells)and intracellular interleukin-21(IL-21)content with blue light retinal injury.Methods Brown Norway(BN)rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and were exposed to blue light for 3 hours a day to establish retinal light damage model.According to the duration of illumination,the rats was divided into 0 days(control group),3 days(3 d group),7 days(7 d group)and 14 days(14 d group).The proportion of Tfh cells and content of IL-21 in Tfh cells in peripheral blood of each group was detected by flow cytometry and ELISA sepa-rately after illumination.Electroretinogram(ERG)was used to evaluate retinal function.The changes of fundus in rats were observed by fundus photography.The thickness of outer nuclear layer of retina was analyzed by HE staining.Results After retinal blue light injury,with the extension of illumination time,the proportion of Tfh cells in peripheral blood and intracellular IL-21 content both increased(P<0.05).ERG showed that retinal function decreased after light damage and aggravated with the extension of illumination time,the latency and ampli-tudes of A-wave and B-wave increased and decreased respectively(P<0.05).The retinal fundus of rats showed depigmentation in 3 d,and the retinal vessels became thinner and exudate with the extension of illumination time.HE staining showed that the outer nuclear layer of retina(ONL)became thinner(P<0.05).Correlation analy-sis indicated that the proportion of Tfh cells in peripheral blood and the intracellular IL-21 content could jointly reflect the degree of injury(P<0.000 1),and the proportion of Tfh cells in peripheral blood was negatively corre-lated with ONL thickness and the amplitude of a and b waves,positively correlated with the peak time of a and b waves,(P<0.0001).Conclusion The proportion of Tfh cells in peripheral blood and the intracellular IL-21 content were increased after blue light damage to retina,and were significantly increased with the extension of light time with a certain correlation.

Objective:To design a Visual TFT-based SF 6 gas measurement system. Methods:Based on Visual TFT, an SF 6 gas measurement system is designed, including system hardware design and system software design. The system hardware mainly includes gas sensors, a Visual TFT display, a signal processing circuit, and a power supply circuit.

E of 8.906%, which is less than 10% of full scale and meets the design requirements. Conclusions:The Visual TFT-based SF 6 gas measurement system can monitor the concentration of SF 6 gas in real-time, which helps to control the release of SF 6 gas and reduce the impact of inert gas emission on the human body under test. At the same time, the system has an intuitive display interface and alarm function, which helps healthcare workers diagnose and treat lung and respiratory diseases more conveniently and quickly, and improves the efficiency and safety of healthcare workers.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and potential of fluorescent cholecystic bile duct visualization with direct intravenous injection of indocyanine green(ICG) in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods:The clinical data of 132 patients with LC combined with obesity admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of the Second People′s Hospital of Changzhou City, affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, from January 2023 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into fluorescence group( n=65) and control group( n=67) according to whether indocyanine green fluorescence navigation was used or not. There were 50 males and 82 females, and all the enrolled patients body mass index≥28 kg/m 2. Two groups identify the time of the three tubes, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, white blood cell count(WBC), C-reactive protein(CRP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT), and postoperative follow-up in the fluorescent and control groups were counted respectively. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and intergroup comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test; counting data were described by frequency(rate), and intergroup comparisons were made by applying the chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability method, and chi-square corrected test according to the difference in the minimum frequency. Results:Surgery was successfully completed in both groups. Preoperative inflammatory indicators and liver function levels were also not statistically significant( P>0.05). The time to identify the three tubes, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative hospitalization in the fluorescence group were 18.00(13.50, 20.00) min, 40.00(30.00, 50.00) min, 5.00(5.00, 10.00) mL, and 2.00(1.50, 3.00) d, and in the control group were 32.00(25.00, 45.00) min, 65.00(50.00, 85.00) min, 41.00(41.00, 46.00) mL, and 4.00(3.00, 5.00) d. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant( P<0.05). The postoperative leukocyte count, postoperative CRP, and postoperative GGT were 9.15(7.10, 11.75)×10 9/L, 7.19(3.22, 20.00) mg/L, and 34.0(20.0, 49.0) U/L in the fluorescence group, and 13.05(11.02, 15.59)×10 9/L, and 18.78(12.90, 32.95) mg/L in the control group, respectively, 82.5(68.5, 114.5) U/L, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). None of the patients showed abdominal pain, abnormal liver function and hepatobiliary ultrasound in the follow-up findings within 2 months after surgery. Conclusion:The effect of obesity, a factor that interferes with ICG fluorescence, is extremely limited, and ICG fluorescence cholangiography is a useful technique in the obese population that not only improves the efficiency of the procedure, but also increases intraoperative safety, with results superior to those of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of standardized dust mite allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) during treatment.Methods:A total of 283 children with AR diagnosed with definite dust mite allergy and completed 2 to 3 years of SCIT who attended the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from August 2019 to October 2021 were included, including 205 males and 78 females, with a mean age of 10.8 years. The total nasal symptoms score (TNSS), symptom medication score (SMS), rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after 2 to 3 years′ treatment were recorded, and the differences before and after treatment were compared. Adverse reactions during SCIT were recorded to evaluate its safety. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The overall effectiveness rate during SCIT in 283 children with AR was 89.4% (253/283). Compared with baseline, all symptom scores, medication scores and quality of life scores were significantly lower after 2 to 3 years of SCIT (all P<0.05). Further group comparisons showed positive efficacy in patients with different clinical characteristics, including age, gender, smoking status, family history of AR, symptom severity, mono-or poly-allergy, and second immunization, with no statistically significant differences between groups (all P>0.05). A total of 12 735 injections were administered during the SCIT, and a total of 213 (1.67%) injections of local adverse reactions occurred, mainly in the initial treatment phase, and the diameter of the local air mass was mostly 5 to 20 mm; 71 (0.56%) injections of systemic adverse reactions occurred, mainly in the initial treatment phase, and most of them were grade 1 reactions with no serious systemic adverse reaction such as shock. Conclusion:Standardized dust mite SCIT has a good safety profile and definite efficacy in treating AR children with different clinical characteristics. It can significantly improve all symptoms, reduce the use of symptomatic drugs and improve their quality of life.
