Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels and white matter high signal and non-dementia vascular cognitive dysfunction in patients with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:Total 106 patients with CSVD who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from April 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled.They were divided into vascular cognitive impairment no dementia group (VCIND group, n=47) and no vascular cognitive impairment group (N-VCI group, n=59)according to mini-mental assessment scale (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale and activity of daily living scale (ADL). Serum VEGF levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The baseline data, serum VEGF levels, MoCA score and Fazekas score were compared between the two groups.The correlation between serum VEGF level and white matter high signal and cognitive function was analyzed.SPSS 19.0 software was used for data processing.The statistical methods were t-test, Chi square test, nonparametric test, Logistic regression analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis. Results:There were significant differences in serum VEGF level((464.18±114.58)pg/mL, (414.17±45.80)pg/mL, F=22.880), MoCA score((13.07±6.48), (20.17±4.06), F=17.920) and Fazekas score (4(3, 5), 3(1, 3), Z=-4.189)between the two groups (all P<0.05). The level of VEGF( β=0.008, OR=1.008, 95% CI=1.001-1.015, P<0.05) was the influencing factor of cognitive function in patients with CSVD .The level of VEGF was negatively correlated with the total score of MoCA, attention and calculation power, and orientation ability ( r=-0.345, -0.373, -0.445, all P<0.05) and it was positively correlated with the total Fazekas score and the Fazekas score of paraventricular and deep white matter ( r=0.392, 0.495, 0.302, all P<0.05). There was a linear trend between the high signal grade of paraventricular and deep white matter and VCIND (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Serum VEGF level is correlated with cognitive function and white matter hyperintensity in patients with CSVD.The increase of VEGF level may be a factor reflecting cognitive dysfunction.In addition, with the increase of white matter hyperintensity level, the risk of VCIND in CSVD is increased.

OBJECTIVE To ex plore the economic value of medication therapeutical management (MTM)service for patients with stable coronary disease. METHODS Totally 140 patients with stable coronary disease were divided into a control group and a intervention group ,70 cases in each group. Patients in control group were received routine medical services ,and patients in intervention group additionally received standardized MTM services on this basis. Medication complication ,satisfaction degree , safety indexes and efficacy indexes were compared between 2 groups. From the perspective of the whole society ,the economic value of MTM service for patients with stable coronary disease were evaluated by pharmacists using cost minimization analysis. RESULTS A total of 15 patients did not complete the study ,including 5 cases in intervention group and 10 cases in control group ; there was no death endpoint during the follow-up period. MMAS- 8 score,satisfaction score of drug communication dimension and score of overall satisfactionin of intervention group were obviously higher than control group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in blood pressure standard rate ,blood lipid standard rate ,the incidence of adverse drug reaction ,and the incidence of acute coronary events between 2 groups(P>0.05). The total cost of intervention group was lower than that of control group (P< 0.01);the results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with those of cost minimization analysis. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacists implement MTM service for patients with stable coronary disease can reduce total cost ,save medical resources and has economic advantages.

Objective:To investigate the molecular genetic and clinical characteristics of MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene-positive acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and to provide the reference for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods:The medical record and experimental examination data of a 18-year-old female MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene-positive B-ALL patient were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical manifestations and biological characteristics of MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene-positive B-ALL were summarized.Results:This 18-year-old female patient was treated in a local hospital in December 2018 and was diagnosed as B-ALL. She achieved complete remission after chemotherapy and recurred at 6 months after the initial onset, and then she was admitted to Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital in the 9 months after the initial onset.MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene was detected through RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and verified by using polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Bone marrow cell morphology was similar to mature B cells with vacuoles but without characteristic chromosome karyotype abnormalities. The patient achieved remission after VLD regimen chemotherapy, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and bridged to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). She has maintained complete remission for 2 years at the last follow-up in February 2022.Conclusions:MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene-positive B-ALL is characterized with high risk, early relapse and poor prognosis. These patients may benefit from CAR-T and allo-HSCT. It further emphasizes the importance of taking MEF2D-BCL9 fusion gene into the detection or identification by using RNA-seq, particularly for those newly diagnosed B-ALL patients in children and adolescents with specific bone marrow morphology.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression levels of excision repair cross complementation group 1(ERCC1), breast cancer susceptibility gene 1(BRCA1), thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA and clinicopathological features, prognosis in advanced colorectal cancer, and the correlation between the expression levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1. Methods The expression levels of ERCC1, BRCA1 and TS mRNA of postoperative paraffin embedded tissue were tested by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 49 advanced colorectal cancer cases. The results were analyzed by χ2 test of the correlation between the expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Patients were followed up by clinic or telephone. The prognosis was analyzed by small sample Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank time series analysis, and P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA in patients with colorectal carcinoma had no obvious correlation with the clinical and pathological characteristics such as gender, age, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, CEA and differentiation degree (P>0.05). The expression level of BRCA1 mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.030) and differentiation degree (P=0.002). The expression level of TS mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.003). The expression level of ERCC1 and BRCA1 mRNA obviously correlated (P=0.002). The 1 year overall survival rate was 95.92%(47/49);the 2 year overall survival rate was 83.67%(41/49);and the 3 year overall survival rate was 73.47%(36/49). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (47.8, 41.0 months) was higher than that in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (27.3, 20.0 months) respectively (P=0.001, P=0.001). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in BRCA1 mRNA low expression group (43.7, 42.7 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (29.3, 25.1 months) respectively (P=0.009, 0.006). Overall survival time in TS mRNA low expression group (39.8 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (25.2 months). Conclusions The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA is not correlated with its clinical and pathological characteristics, but with its biological characteristics. BRCA1 and TS levels are correlated with invasion and metastasis. Low levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1 expression have a better prognostic effect on platinum based first-line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer, and they are correlated. Low level of TS also has longer disease-free survival. Three joint detection could be used as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the rehabilitative effect of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on convalescing patients with Broca's aphasia. MethodsTwenty-eight patients with Broca's aphasia recovering from cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a stimulation group and a control group with 14 subjects in each.Patients in the control group accepted conventional drugs,speech rehabilitation and sham stimulation,while patients in the stimulation group were in given low frequency rTMS in place of the sham stimulation.Their speech performance was evaluated using the China Rehabilitation Research Center's aphasia examination (CRRCAE) pre-stimulation,post-stimulation and 90 days later. ResultsCompared with before treatment and with the controls,the speaking scores of the stimulation group increased significantly after treatment and also 90 days later. ConclusionLow frequency rTMS can not only improve the speech performance of Broca's aphasia sufferers in the short term,but it also plays a lasting role.It may thus have clinical application for patients with Broca's aphasia.

Objective To explore the association between inflammatory cytokines and islet β-cell function in chronic persistent asthma patients. Methods 112 adults with persistent asthma and 60 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. According to the severity of disease, all subjects were divided into persistent-mild group and persistent-moderate group. Plasma tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin6(IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Oral glucose tolerance and insulin releasing test were performed. The ratio of the area under the curve of insulin to area under the curve of glucose ( AUC1/AUCG ), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index( ISI),homeostasis model assessment for β-cell function (HBCI) and early insulin secretion index(△I30/△G30)were calculated. The values of forced expiratory volume in l second ( FEV1 ), forced vital capacity(FVC)and FEV1/FVC were recorded. Results In patient groups, the values for plasma TNF-α, IL-6, CRP,AUC1, AUC1/AUCG, HOMA-IR, HBCI significantly increased compared with those in control group, while ISI declined ( t =2. 02~13.62, P <0. 05). Multiple step regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR was positively correlated with CRP, LDL-C, BMI, AUC1, TNF-α( P <0. 01 orP <0. 05), but negatively correlated with FEV1 ( P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion The results indicated that inflammatory cytokines ( TNF-α,IL-6,CRP) might result in insulin resistance in asthma patients who had hyperinsulinism at the same time.
