ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Ruyi Heibai Power （如意黑白散， RHP） in the treatment of vitiligo. MethodsTwenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， high-dose and low-dose RHP groups， with 6 mice in each group. Model group， high- and low-dose RHP groups were all applied hydroquinone to establish vitiligo animal model. After modeling， High- and low-dose RHP groups were given 7.02 g/kg and 2.34 g/kg of RHP by gavage， respectively， while the blank group and model group were intragastrically given 10ml/kg of normal saline， once a day for 36 days. After administration， the skin lesions were observed with naked eye， and HE staining was used to observe the melanin content of the skin lesions. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in skin tissue. Immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of programmed death receptor 1 （PD-1） in the skin lesion tissue. RT-PCR was used to detect programmed cell death ligand 1 （PD-L1） mRNA expression. ELISA was used to detect serum superoxide dismutase （SOD）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF-α）， and tyrosinase （TYR） levels. ResultsCompared to those in the blank group， the skin of the mice in the model group was pale， and the melanin content was significantly reduced under the microscope after HE staining； the rate of excellent and good skin lesions decreased， and the melanin granules in the cells around the epidermis and hair follicles decreased significantly； the expression of CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in skin tissue increased significantly， and the expressions of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 decreased； the content of TYR decreased， while the content of SOD and TNF-α increased （P＜0.05）. Compared to those in the model group， the skin color of high- and low-dose RHP groups were deepened， and the melanin content increased； the rate of excellent and good skin lesions increased， as well as the melanin granules in the spinous cell layer， basal cells and hair follicles； the expression of CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in the skin lesions decreased， while PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 expression increased； the content of TYR increased， while the content of SOD and TNF-α decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared to the low-dose RHP group， the high-dose group had a larger pigment recovery area in the modeling area， an increased rate of excellent and good skin lesions， an increase in spinous cell layer， basal cells， and hair follicle melanin granules， a decrease in CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells expression， an increase in the expression of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1， an elevated TYR content， and decreased SOD and TNF-α contents （P＜0.05）. ConclusionRHP can increase skin melanin content of vitiligo mice.The mechanism of action may be related to activating the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway， and then reducing the destruction of melanocytes by T cell-mediated autoimmunity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and associated influencing factors of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adult patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among HD patients from 11 centers in Beijing city from April 2017 to June 2017. A neuropsychological battery covering domains of attention/processing speed, executive function, memory, language, and visuospatial function was applied in cognitive function assessment. Patients were classified as normal cognitive function group and cognitive impairment group according to the fifth version of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders criteria (DSM-V). Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of cognitive impairment. Results:A total of 613 HD patients were included in the study, and the prevalence of cognitive impairment was 80.91% (496/613). Attention impairment (81.05%) and memory impairment (63.51%) were the most common impaired domains, and 79.23% was concomitant impairment across two or more cognitive domains among those with cognitive impairment. Compared with the patients in the normal cognitive function group, the patients in the cognitive impairment group had senior age, longer dialysis vintage, higher proportion of diabetes, hypertension, and stroke, higher level of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), lower education level, and lower urea clearance index (Kt/V) (all P<0.05). Factors were independently associated with cognitive impairment including increasing age ( OR=1.110, 95% CI 1.072-1.150, P<0.001), education time>12 years (with education time<6 years as reference, OR=0.323, 95% CI 0.115-0.909, P=0.032), history of diabetes ( OR=2.151, 95% CI 1.272-3.636, P=0.004), history of stroke ( OR=2.546, 95% CI 1.244-5.210, P=0.011), increased dialysis vintage ( OR=1.016, 95% CI 1.010-1.022, P<0.001), reduced Kt/V( OR=0.008, 95% CI 0.002-0.035, P<0.001), and increased iPTH level ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.002-1.003, P=0.012). Conclusions:The prevalence of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and elderly adult Chinese patients undergoing HD is high. Memory and attention are the most commonly impaired domains. Increasing age, low education level, history of diabetes and stroke, increased dialysis vintage, reduced Kt/V and increased serum iPTH are the independent influencing factors associated with cognitive impairment.

Objective:To investigate the association between cognitive impairment and all-cause mortality in middle and elderly adult patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD).Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Patients from 11 HD centers in Beijing between April and June 2017 were enrolled. Baseline data were collected, and a series of neuropsychological batteries covered 5 domains of cognitive function were applied for the assessment of cognitive function. The patients were then classified as normal and cognitive impairment groups according to the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria (DSM-V) and followed-up until June 2018. The clinical characteristics of the two groups of patients were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the difference in the cumulative survival rate between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of all-cause mortality, to determine the relationship between cognitive impairment and different cognitive domain impairments and all-cause death.Results:A total of 613 patients were enrolled, of which 496(80.91%) patients had cognitive impairment. Compared with the normal cognitive function group, the patients in the cognitive impairment group tended to be older, longer dialysis vintage, a higher proportion of diabetes, hypertension, and stroke, increased serum iPTH level, and lower education level and urea clearance index (Kt/V) (all P<0.05). After (49.53±8.42) weeks of follow-up, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of cognitive impairment group was significantly lower than that of cognitive normal group (Log-rank χ2=8.610, P=0.003). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that history of diabetes ( HR=2.742, 95% CI 1.598-4.723, P<0.001), coronary heart disease ( HR=1.906, 95% CI 1.169-3.108, P=0.010), dialysis vintage (every increase of 1 month, HR=1.007, 95% CI 1.003-1.011, P=0.001), serum level of albumin (every increase of 1 g/L, HR=0.859, 95% CI 0.809-0.912, P<0.001), cognitive impairment ( HR=2.719, 95% CI 1.088-6.194, P=0.032) were independently associated with all-cause mortality. Multivariate Cox regression analysis on different cognitive domains also indicated that memory impairment ( HR=2.571, 95% CI 1.442-4.584, P<0.001), executive function impairment ( HR=3.311, 95% CI 1.843-5.949, P=0.001) and three, four, five domains combined impairment ( HR=5.746, 95% CI 1.880-17.565, P=0.002; HR=12.420, 95% CI 3.690-41.802, P<0.001; HR=13.478, 95% CI 3.381-53.728, P<0.001) were independently related to all-cause mortality. Conclusions:Cognitive impairment is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in middle and elderly adult patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, and the risk is significantly increased in patients with the impairment of the domains of memory, executive function, or in the combination of three to five cognitive domains.

Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs)and circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in peripheral blood samples in breast cancer. Methods From July 2017 to April 2018, 47 patients with BMC (7 in stage Ⅱ, 19 in stage Ⅲ and 21 in stage Ⅳ), 24 patients with benign breast diseases and 28 healthy people were selected. After collecting peripheral blood samples, serum and blood cells were separated. The size-based high-throughput microfluidic chip was used to capture CTCs. The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR based on Alu sequence was used to detect the length of cfDNA(247 bp, 115 bp)in the serum, and the ratio of amplified products of long and short fragments was used as the index of DNA integrity. The Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between the groups and analyze the relationship between CTCs and cfDNA and clinical parameters of breast cancer. The ROC curve was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the feasibility of blood cell CTCs and plasma cfDNA detection as diagnostic criteria. Results The CTCs and cfDNA of 47 BMC patients were analyzed. The CTCs and cfDNA integrity index (Alu 247/115) of BMC patients were significantly higher than those of physical examination patients[(13.98± 12.36)cells / ml vs (1.14 ± 1.35) cells / ml; 0.7687 ± 0.3868 vs 0.5094 ± 0.2456], and the difference was statistically significant(the U value was 126.5,359.0;P<0.001), the area under ROC curve of CTCs was 0.885 (95％CI: 0.805-0.965), cut-off value was 7.68/ml, sensitivity was 80.4％, specificity was 96.4％. The area under ROC curve of Alu 247/115 was 0.727(95％CI: 0.608-0.847), cut-off value was 0.431, sensitivity was 71.7％, specificity was 71.4％. The AUC of CTCs and Alu 247/115 was 0.919 (95％CI 0.854-0.984), which was higher than the single test of each indicator. Conclusions CTCs and cfDNA may be the potential biological indicators for breast cancer diagnosis. The combined detection of CTCs and cfDNA maybe improve the diagnosis rate of breast cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the current status of psychological capital, career plateau and turnover intention in ICU nurses and to analyze the influence of psychological capital and career on turnover intention. Methods A total of 233 ICU nurses from the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University who met the criteria were selected by convenient sampling from February to April 2017. The nurses were investigated with the Psychological Capital Questionnaire-Chinese (PCQC), Career Plateau Questionnaire (CPQ) and Turnover Intention Scule (TIS). Totally 233 questionnaires were handed out and 224 valid questionnaires were collected. Results The total score of psychological capital in the 224 ICU nurses was (88.53±13.16), and the highest score was found in the dimension of self-efficacy, while the lowest score was in the dimension of hope; the total average score of career plateau was (3.83±0.92); and the score of turnover intention was (16.82±5.01). According to the hierarchical stepwise regression analysis, contractual employment, hope, hierarchical plateau and content plateau were the main influencing factors of ICU nurses' turnover intention, which could account for 39.8% of the total variation. Conclusions ICU nurses show a strong turnover intention, and contractual employment, hope, hierarchical plateau and content plateau may affect their turnover intention. ICU nursing managers should formulate proper and effective improvement strategies for psychological capital and alleviation strategies for career plateau based on the current status of psychological capital and career plateau in nurses and take proper measures to enhance their enthusiasm and job satisfaction of contractually employed nurses, and reinforce the stability of ICU nursing team.
