Objective:To evaluate the expression of B7-H3 and CD133 in colorectal cancer(CRC),colorectal polyps,and normal colorectal mucosa and investigate their roles in the development and prognosis of CRC.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the ex-pression of B7-H3 and CD133 in 195 CRC,76 villous/tubulovillous adenoma,64 tubular adenoma,30 non-adenomatous polyp,and 10 nor-mal colorectal mucosa samples obtained from The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2012 and April 2017 and Pengan County People's Hospital between January 2017 and May 2019.Patient age,sex,and immunohistochemical staining results of B7-H3,CD133,and carcinoembryonic antigen were incorporated as risk factors to establish a CRC survival prediction model.Results:B7-H3 and CD133 expression showed an increasing trend from normal mucosa to non-adenomatous polyps,tubular adenomas,villous/tubulovil-lous adenomas,and CRC(P<0.05),and correlated with adenoma size.It was also associated with CRC metastasis and shorter survival(P<0.05).Furthermore,the expressions of B7-H3 and CD133 demonstrated a value in the CRC survival prediction model,in the training as well as validation set.Conclusions:The immune regulator B7-H3 and cancer stem cell marker CD133 are associated with poor prognosis in CRC,and their expressions may serve as predictive factors for CRC prognosis.

One hundred Alzheimer′s disease (AD) patients with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) treated with donepezil+risperidone group ( n=50, group 1) or hydrochloride memantine+risperidone group ( n=50, group 2) in geriatric departments of Hangzhou Seventh People′s Hospital were enrolled in the study. Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) were applied for evaluation; and blood routine examination, blood biochemistry, eletrocardiogram were performed in two groups before and after treatment. After treatment, MoCA score in group 2 (16.10±3.90) was significantly higher than that in group 1 (18.14±3.71)( t=-3.99, P<0.01), and PANSS score in group 2 (86.66±6.62) was significantly lower than that in group 1 (109.50±11.51; t=12.67, P<0.01). The incidence rates of dry mouth (16%,8/50), extrapyramidal side effects (10%,5/50) and the total score of TESS (3.92±2.02) in group 2 were markedly lower than those of group 1 [44%(22/50), 36%(18/50), (12.49±1.45);χ 2=9.33,9.54, t=17.90,all P<0.01]. Meanwhile, group 2 had significantly lower influences on the levels of blood lipids and fasting blood glucose (all P<0.01). The risperidone dose used in group 2 was significantly lower than that in group 1 [(2.06±0.50) vs. (3.85±0.89)mg, t=14.40, P=0.04].The results suggest that hydrochloridememantine combined with risperidone is more effective with less side effects compared to donepezil combined with risperidone for AD patients with BPSD.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical significance of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-reverse dot blot (RDB) human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping assay in cervical cancer screening. METHODS: A total of 10,442 women attending the Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Health Hospital were evaluated using the liquid-based cytology (thinprep cytologic test [TCT]) and the PCR-RDB HPV test. Women with HPV infection and/or abnormal cytology were referred for colposcopy and biopsy. For HPV DNA sequencing, 120 specimens were randomly selected. Pathological diagnosis was used as the gold standard. RESULTS: Using the PCR-RDB HPV test, overall HPV prevalence was 20.57% (2,148/10,442) and that of high-risk (HR)-HPV infection was 18.68% (1,951/10,442). There was 99.2% concordance between HPV PCR-RDB testing and sequencing. In this studied population, the most common HR-HPV types were HPV-16, -52, -58, -18, -53, -33, and -51, rank from high to low. HPV-16, -18, -58, -59, and -33 were the top 5 prevalent genotypes in cervical cancer but HPV-16, -18, -59, -45, and -33 were the top 5 highest risk factors for cancer (odds ratio [OR]=34.964, 7.278, 6.728, 6.101, and 3.658; all p<0.05, respectively). Among 10,442 cases, 1,278 had abnormal cytology results, of which, the HR-HPV positivity rate was 83.02% (1,061/1,278). To screen for cervical cancer by PCR-RDB HPV testing, when using CIN2+, CIN3+, and cancer as observed endpoints, the sensitivity was 90.43%, 92.61%, and 94.78% and the negative predictive value (NPV) was 99.06%, 99.42%, and 99.78%, respectively. PCR-RDB HPV and TCT co-testing achieved the highest sensitivity and NPV. CONCLUSION: For cervical cancer screening, the PCR-RDB HPV test can provide a reliable and sensitive clinical reference.

Objective To explore the effects of teach-back method on the compliance of functional exercises in postoperative patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally 105 postoperative patients with breast cancer admitted in our hospital from March to September 2015 were selected as the control group, and 114 patients from October 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the intervention group. Patients in the intervention group received the functional exercises based on teach-back method, while patients in the control group received routine health education method. The mastery skill score and compliance of functional exercise one day before discharge in two groups were compared. Results The mastery skill score of functional exercise one day before discharge was (63.73±5.51) in the intervention group, which was significantly higher than (56.45±4.88) in the control group ( P<0.05);the constituent ratio of fully compliance, partial compliance and noncompliance status in the intervention group one day before discharge were 64. 91%, 25. 44%, 9. 65%, and they were obviously superior to the control group (47.62%, 36.19%, 16.19%) (P<0.05). Conclusions Teach back method can effectively improve the skill and compliance of functional exercise in postoperative patients with breast cancer.
