Objective:To conduct simulated graduation skill assessment and annual skill assessment by self-designed objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for standardized training of radiation oncology residents.Methods:The structured examination, standardized questions and standardized tasks of each disease were designed by teaching team of radiation oncology in the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital. The implementation effect of the annual assessment and simulated completion assessment of standardized training for residents in radiation oncology from Class 2019 to 2021 was prospectively observed. The difference between scores by two independent examiners was analyzed by the paired t-test. The overall feedback of residents and examiners for the implementation were collected after the completion of OSCE. Results:A total of 18 residents participated in 67 sessions of 3-station skill assessments of different diseases, including 2 make-up tests. There was no difference in the score pairing and grade pairing tests between two examiners at 3 stations ( t=0.85, -0.68, -1.16; P=0.401, 0.499, 0.255). A total of 91.3% of the residents reported that the assessment well reflected their actual clinical competency. Conclusions:The current program of OSCE assessment for radiation oncology meets objectification, standardization and high efficiency, and achieves the goal of making trainers familiar with the graduation skill assessment and assessing comprehensive clinical competence. It is a reproducible and flexible structured assessment model.

Objective To investigate the influence of peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR),monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) on the prognosis in the patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods A total of 159 newly diagnosed MM admitted and treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from January 2019 to May 2023 were selected as the study subjects.The general clinical data,blood biochemical and marrow routine detection results before the in-itial treatment were collected.NLR,MLR and PLR were calculated.The univariate and multivariate Cox-re-gression model was adopted to analyze the influencing factors.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-Rank test were used to conduct the survival analysis.Results The ROC curve showed that the critical values of NLR,MLR and PLR were 2.682,0.317 and 147.786 respectively.The patients were divided into the high/low NLR groups (n=61,n=98),high/low MLR group (n=76,n=83) and high/low PLR groups (n=59,n=100).The pro-portions of blood calcium<2.5 mmol/L and creatinine<177 μmmol/L in the low NLR group in the low NLR group were higher compared with the high NLR group (P<0.05);the blood calcium,creatinine and DS stage had statistical differences between the low MLR group and high MLR group (P<0.05);blood calcium had statistical difference between the low PLR group and high PLR group (P<0.05).After 3 treatment courses,the complete remission rate in the high NLR group,high MLR group and high PLR group was significantly lower than that in the corresponding low group (P<0.05).The multivariate Cox-regression analysis results showed that hemoglobin<100 g/L and high PLR were the independent risk factors affecting the progress free survival (PFS) stage in the patients with MM (P<0.05).The age>60 years old was the independent risk factors affecting the overall survival (OS) in the patients with MM (P<0.05).Conclusion NLR,MLR and PLR could serve as the assisted tool to evaluate the prognosis in the patients with MM.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between telomere length of bone marrow mononuclear cells and prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:Telomere length of bone marrow mononuclear cells before transplantation, after transplantation and before donor mobilization as well as information related to follow-up of 33 AML patients who received allo-HSCT in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University between June 2020 and June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Telomere length was detected by using telomeric terminal restriction fragment (TRF) method. Telomere length was compared among patients with different prognoses. The recurrence within 1 year was treated as the gold standard and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the effect of telomere length before transplantation or before donor mobilization in the judgement of the recurrence within 1 year after transplantation. The patients were stratified according to the optimal threshold value of telomere length for patients or donors, and Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with different stratification, and log-rank test was performed.Results:The median age of 33 patients was 34 years (14-61 years), and there were 17 males and 16 females; 31 patients were initially diagnosed with AML, 1 patient transferred from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to AML, and 1 patient transferred from chronic granulocytic leukemia (CML) to AML; 14 received identical sibling transplantation and 19 received haploidentical sibling transplantation. The median age of the donors was 30 years (20-65 years), including 24 males and 9 females. Telomere length of bone marrow mononuclear cells before mobilization in 33 donors was longer than that in patients before transplantation (33 cases) and at +30 d after transplantation (31 cases) [(6.67±0.31) kb, (6.40±0.33) kb, (6.48±0.33) kb, respectively; all P < 0.05], and the difference between patients before and at +30 d after transplantation was not statistically significant ( t = 0.89, P = 0.378), and the telomere length of bone marrow mononuclear cells in 11 patients +180 d after transplantation was (6.66±0.18) kb. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after transplantation was 45.5% (15/33), the incidence of infection with clear imaging and pathogenic basis was 39.4% (13/33), the mortality rate within 1 year after transplantation was 3.0% (1/33), and the recurrence rate within 1 year after transplantation was 15.2% (5/33). There were no statistically significant differences in telomere length of donor pre-mobilization bone marrow mononuclear cells between the groups with and without aGVHD and between the infected and non-infected groups (all P > 0.05).Compared with patients who had not relapsed within 1 year after transplantation, telomere length of donor pre-mobilization bone marrow mononuclear cells was shorter in patients who relapsed within 1 year after transplantation [(6.39±0.19) kb vs. (6.72±0.30) kb, t = -3.23, P = 0.011], telomere length was longer in patients before transplantation [(6.75±0.16) kb vs. (6.35±0.36) kb, t = 4.17, P = 0.001]. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal threshold values for telomere length of pre-transplantation and donor pre-mobilization bone marrow mononuclear cells were 6.48 and 6.42 kb, respectively for patients who relapsed within 1 year after transplantation. PFS in patients with pre-transplantation bone marrow mononuclear cells telomere length < 6.48 kb was better than that in patients with telomere length ≥ 6.48 kb ( P = 0.003); PFS in patients with pre-mobilization bone marrow mononuclear cells telomere length>6.42 kb was better than that in patients with telomere length ≤ 6.42 kb ( P < 0.001). Conclusions:In allo-HSCT for AML, patients have an increased risk of relapse within 1 year after transplantation when their pre-transplantation bone marrow mononuclear cells telomere length is long and the donor bone marrow mononuclear cells telomere length is short.

Objective:By analyzing factors associated with lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years old, a nomogram model for lower urinary tract symptoms was constructed to assist the clinical development of targeted interventions to reduce the incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms in this population.Methods:In the cross-sectional study, 798 middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years receiving physical examination in the Health Management Center of Third Xiangya Hospital from November 2013 to December 2020 were selected as research participants.Univariate regression analysis was used to compare differences in the basic data related to lower urinary tract symptoms in the population.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify related influencing factors, and a nomogram model for lower urinary tract symptoms in the population was established.Results:Among 798 middle-aged and elderly women surveyed, the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was 81.08 %(647 cases), and the rate of urinary tract infections was 21.48 %(139 cases). Variables with statistical significance in univariate regression analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The results showed that body mass index, vaginal delivery, strength of pelvic floor type Ⅱ fiber muscle, pelvic and abdominal coordination and mental health were independent influencing factors for lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years( OR=1.099, 2.681, 0.895, 0.658, 1.057, P=0.010, 0.030, 0.040, 0.010, 0.038). The monogram model based on the five risk prediction indexes produced a consistency index(C-index)of 0.651 and a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 66.9% and 58.9%, respectively.The correction curve showed that the predicted results of the model were essentially the same as the actual probability of condition. Conclusions:In this study, the independent influencing factors for lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years were screened by univariate regression and multivariate Logistic regression analysis and a nomogram model for risk prediction of the population was constructed, was proved to have a good ability for accurately and effectively predicting the risk of lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years, and will assist clinicians to screen for high-risk patients, formulate targeted interventions, and reduce the incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of chromosomes and related fusion genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (non-M3), and to evaluate the prognosis of patients with chemotherapy of DA regimen with different doses of daunorubicin. Methods Fifty-six patients with newly diagnosed non-M3 AML from January 2013 to January 2015 were collected. Adopted short-term culture method was used to treat bone marrow, R-binding chromosome karyotyping was used to detect cytogenetic. Thirty-one types of fusion gene were identified by PCR and 10 % agarose gel electrophoresis. All patients treated by DA regimen were divided into group A, group B and group C according to different dosage of daunorubicin. Then, complete remission (CR) rate and survival time in the 3 groups were observed. The effect of cytogenetic and molecular biology abnormality on the chemotherapy, CR rate and overall survival (OS) of the 3 groups were analyzed by the chi-square test. Results Among the 56 patients, 18 cases (32.1%) had abnormal chromosome karyotype, 6 cases (10.7 %) had abnormal number of chromosome, 16 cases (28.6 %) had abnormal structure of chromosome, and 4 cases (7.1 %) had both abnormal number and structure of chromosome. Meanwhile, the most common abnormal structure was t(8;21), and the most common abnormal quantity were+8, -Y. Detective rate of genetic abnormality was raised to 62.00 % through fusion gene and chromosome karyotype analysis. The total CR rate of DA-induced chemotherapeutic regimen was 73.2 %, and the two-year OS rate was 42.9%. The remission rate of chemotherapy in the middle-risk group was significantly lower than that in the low-risk group (χ 2 = 8.976, P = 0.002), but there was no significant difference between the low-dose chemotherapy group and the standard dose chemotherapy group (P>0.05). The standard dose group showed a significant advantage in the OS rate (χ2= 8.045, P= 0.005). Conclusions Adult acute leukemia has its unique cytogenetic characteristics, which can assist in guiding clinical diagnosis, classification and prognosis. The prognosis of middle-risk patients is significantly lower than the low-risk group. Low-risk patients could benefit from a reduced dose of DA regimen, but the standard dose DA regimen has a significant advantage in long-term survival.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference(WC), waist-to-height ratio (WheiR) in Chinese adults.
 METHODS: A total of 26 655 participants, who voluntarily attended annual health examination at the Health Management Center in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2013 to February 2014, were enrolled for this study. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed.
 RESULTS: The prevalence rate of CKD was 9.6% and 3.1% in male and female subjects, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, WC and WheiR were independent risk factors for CKD in diabetic male and hypertensive male subjects (P<0.01). However, no association between these obesity indices and CKD was found in women after multivariate adjustment. In diabetic male subjects, when BMI≥28.7 kg/m(2), WC=90.7 cm and WheiR=0.56, the sensitivity and specificity prediction for CKD was 24.8%, 58.5%, 45.5% and 83.3%, 54.4%, 69.6%, respectively. In hypertensive male subjects, when the optimum cut-off points for BMI, WC and WheiR were ≥
27.0 kg/m(2), 91.2 cm and 0.54, the sensibility prediction for CKD were 41.0%, 47.0% and 50.1%, respectively, while the specificity prediction were 68.0%, 63.0% and 61.4%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of BMI, WC, WheiR for CKD prediction were 0.56, 0.57, 0.59 in diabetic male subjects and 0.54, 0.56, 0.57 in hypertensive male subjects, respectively.
 CONCLUSION BMI, WC and WheiR are associated with the increased risk for CKD in diabetic or hypertensive male subjects. However, the value for these obesity indices is limited in screening CKD.

Objective:To study the protective effect of platelet-rich plasma on never function in the rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI),and to clarify its mechanisms. Methods:Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham group (opened skull bone window only),TBI group and platelet-rich plasma treatment group (PRP group) (n=20).The rats in PRP group were injected with platelet-rich plasma through vessel on the 1st day,the 2nd day and the 6th day after operation while the rats in sham group and TBI group were treated with saline at the same time.The neurological function defects were assessed with modified neurological severity score (mNSS)on the 1st, 3rd and 7th after operation.Then 10 rats were taken from each group and executed,and the brain tissues were taken.The brain sections were prepared for the histological observation and the others of each group were tested with Morris water maze.Results:Compared with sham group,the mNSS scores of the rats in TBI and PRP group were increased (P <0.05);the mNSS score of the rats in PRP group was decreased compared with TBI group (P <0.05).The injured volume of rat brain tissue was reduced significantly in PRP treated group compared with TBI group (P <0.05).The Nissl staining results showed that the injury area in PRP group had a more neat rows and a larger number of new blood vessels compared with TBI group.The immunohistochemical staining results showed the injured area had a higher level expression of GFAP+ cells in TBI group compared with PRP group,but the amount of neuN+ cells was smaller than that in PRP group (P <0.05).The Morris water maze test results showed that there were a shorter escape latency time,more times acrossing platform and a larger swimming time during platform quadrant in PRP group compared with TBI group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Platelet-rich plasma has a significant role in protecting the neurological function of TBI rats.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the serum levels of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in uremic dialysis patients and to evaluate the effect of alprostadil (A) on them.
 METHODS: A total of 81 chronic kidney disease (CKD) uremic patients were divided into 4 groups: the peritoneal dialysis group (PD group, n=20), the peritoneal dialysis plus alprostadil group (PD+A group, n=20), the hemodialysis group (HD group, n=21), the hemodialysis plus alprostadil group (HD+A group, n=20). Sixteen healthy people were taken as the normal control (NC) group. The peripheral blood of all objects were collected for serum preparation. The expression of miRNA-155 was determined by real-time qPCR and the serum level of IL-6 was measured by ELISA. Experimental and clinical data of all the objects were collected.
 RESULTS: Serum levels of miRNA-155 and IL-6 were increased in all dialysis patients groups compared with NC group (P<0.05); miRNA-155 expression in PD+A group was down-regulated compared with PD group or HD group (P<0.05); the levels of IL-6 in PD+A and HD+A group were significantly decreased compared with PD group or HD group (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that serum level of miR-155 was positively correlated with the level of IL-6 as well as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), while miR-155 was negatively correlated with HDL and albumin (P<0.01). Linear stepwise regression analysis indicated that serum miR-155 was independently associated with albumin and hs-CRP.
 CONCLUSION Serum miRNA-155 and IL-6 in uremic dialysis patients were remarkably increased compared to healthy objects. Serum miRNA-155 was positively correlated with the level of IL-6 as well as hs-CRP, while miR-155 was negatively correlated with HDL and albumin. Alprostadil could ameliorate the inflammatory conditions of uremic dialysis patients by inhibition of the IL-6 expression. Serum miRNA-155 may be a novel target for the treatment of uremic dialysis patients.
