Objective To investigate the correlation between total oxidation state(TOS),superoxide dis-mutase(SOD),glutathione reductase(GR)and androgen receptor(AR)expression,as well as their predictive value for castration-resistant prostate cancer(CRPC).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 382 patients with prostate cancer who received endocrine therapy in our hospital from Janu-ary 2021 to March 2023.These patients were divided into a CRPC group(91 cases)and a non-CRPC group(291 cases)based on whether they progressed to CRPC within one year.The clinical data of the two groups were compared,and the levels of TOS,SOD,GR,and AR expression before and after treatment were com-pared between the two groups.The correlation between TOS,SOD,GR,and AR expression was analyzed using the Spearman method.The relationship between TOS,SOD,GR,and AR expression in the CRPC group was analyzed using partial correlation analysis.Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the impact of TOS,SOD,and GR on the occurrence of CRPC after 1 month of treatment,and receiver operating charac-teristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of TOS,SOD,and GR on CRPC af-ter 1 month of treatment.Results Gleason score ≥8 and T4 in clinical stage in CRPC group were higher than those in non-CRPC group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 1 month and 1 year of treatment,the positive expression rates of TOS and AR in both groups were higher than before treatment,while the levels of SOD and GR were lower than before treatment,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After 1 month and 1 year of treatment,the TOS level and AR positive expression rate in the CRPC group were higher than those in the non-CRPC group,while the SOD and GR levels were lower than those in the non-CRPC group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that TOS was positively correlated with AR expression in the CRPC group after 1 month and 1 year of treat-ment(P<0.05),while SOD and GR were negatively correlated with AR expression(P<0.05).Logistic re-gression analysis showed that,Gleason score ≥8,T4 in clinical stage,and TOS,SOD,and GR after 1 month of treatment were all associated with the occurrence of CRPC(P<0.05).It was found that after adjusting for Gleason score and clinical stage,TOS,SOD,and GR were still independent factors for CRPC after 1 month of treatment(P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve of TOS,SOD,and GR combined to predict CRPC after 1 month of treatment was 0.938(95%CI:0.908-0.960),which was higher than that of each indicator alone.Conclusion The expression of TOS,SOD,GR,and AR is correlated to some extent,and combined detection has certain predictive value for CRPC.It can be used as an auxiliary indicator for clinical prediction of CRPC and has certain guiding value for subsequent clinical decisions for patients.

Objective:To investigate the changes in coronal spino-pelvis alignment in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and effects of total hip arthroplasty on it.Methods:This study included 48 patients (6 males and 42 females) with DDH who underwent total hip arthroplasty from January 2009 to December 2019 at the Department of Orthopaedics, the PLA General Hospital. The average age of patients was 42.81±10.42 years (range, 22 to 61 years), whose follow-up time was 10.31±2.62 months (range, 3 to 18 months). Eleven cases underwent bilateral hip replacements and 37 cases underwent unilateral hip replacements, which included 13 hips in Crowe I, 7 hips in II, 4 hips in III, 35 hips in IV. The coronal spino-pelvic parameters were measured with all patients, including Cobb angle, coronal balance distance (CBD), sacral obliquity (SO), iliac obliquity (IO), hip obliquity (HO), L 5 obliquity (L 5O) and leg length. Results:The interobserver reliability of IO, SO, HO and L 5O in patients with DDH was 0.965, 0.875, 0.912 and 0.934. The interobserver reliability of IO, SO, HO and L 5O was 0.887, 0.889, 0.892 and 0.907. Thirty-three patients diagnosed with DDH had leg length discrepancy, which the incidence was 69% (33/48). The incidence of scoliosis of patients was 58% (28/48). The incidence of pelvic obliquity was 96% (46/48). The preoperative IO was 6.71°±4.62° and the postoperative IO was 3.52°±3.14°, the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.81, P<0.001). The preoperative SO was 6.38°±5.48° and the postoperative SO was 3.72°±3.38°, the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.91, P<0.001). The preoperative HO was 5.32°±5.83° and the postoperative HO was 3.71°±3.62°, the difference had not statistically significant ( t=1.85, P=0.071). The preoperative L 5O was 6.12°±5.46° and the postoperative L 5O was 4.33°±4.71°, the difference had statistically significant ( t=2.15, P=0.037). The preoperative Cobb angle was 11.05°±10.76° and the postoperative Cobb angle was 6.82°±7.76°, which had a statistically difference ( t=4.07, P=0.001). There is no significant difference of preoperative CBD and postoperative CBD, which was 14.22±10.64 mm vs. 13.73±12.58 mm ( t=0.24, P=0.821). Cobb angle was positively correlated with SO and IO ( r=0.61, P<0.001; r=0.57, P<0.001). Conclusion:Causes coronal pelvic obliquity in patients with DDH included leg length discrepancy and hip dislocation. Coronal pelvic obliquity can lead to compensatory scoliosis, which alters the overall coronal spino-pelvic alignment of patients with DDH. However, they can still maintain coronal balance. Total hip arthroplasty could improve the degree of coronal pelvic obliquity significantly and compensatory scoliosis in patients with DDH.

Objective To explore the distribution of HIV subtype in newly detected people living with HIV from January to November,2015 in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture,Yunnan province.Methods DNA extraction,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for gag,env,and pol amplification and amplification product sequencing were conducted by using plasmas of newly detected HIV-infected persons.The subtypes were confirmed by analyzing the sequences of 3 genes.Results A total of 963 HIV infection cases were reported during this period,the HIV subtype was confirmed in 499 cases.Unique recombinant form (URF) was the most common subtype (27.1%,135/499),followed by C (26.7%,133/499),CRF01_AE (19.2%,96/499) and others.URF included 4 kinds of combination,of which combination of subtype B and C was most common.HIV subtype distribution differed between the Chinese HIV infection cases and the Burmese HIV infection cases,the proportion of B and C combination was higher in the Chinese cases.Transmission route was the only factor influencing H1V subtype distribution.Conclusions HIV subtype distribution in Dehong was complex.URF was predominant.The HIV subtype distribution differed between Chinese and Burmese under different transmission route.
