Objective:To explore the feasibility of predicting TP53 mutation risk by immunohistochemical staining (IHC) pattern of P53 in Chinese diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its correlation with a prognostic difference.Methods:Between January 2021 and December 2021, 51 DLBCL cases at Beijing Boren Hospital were gathered. These cases had both IHC and next-generation sequencing (NGS) results. IHC classified the P53 protein expression pattern into a loss (<1% ) , diffuse (>80% ) , and heterogeneous (1% -80% ) . The sensitivity and specificity of the predicting TP53 mutation by IHC were assessed by comparing the results of the NGS, and the TP53 high mutation risk group included both loss and diffuse expression of P53. From June 2016 to September 2019, Peking University Cancer Hospital collected 131 DLBCL cases with thorough clinicopathological and follow-up data. From their tumor blocks, tissue microarray blocks were made for IHC evaluation of P53 expression pattern, and prognosis effect of P53 studies.Results:Among 51 cases with both IHC and NGS results, 23 cases were classified as TP53 high mutation risk (7 cases loss and 16 cases diffuse) , 22/23 cases were proved with mutated TP53 by NGS. Only 1 of the 28 cases classified as TP53 low mutation risk was proved with mutated TP53 by NGS. IHC had a sensitivity and specificity of 95.7% and 96.4% for predicting TP53 mutation. NGS identified a total of 26 TP53 mutations with a mutation frequency of 61.57% (13.41% -86.25% ) . In the diffuse group, 16 missense mutations and 2 splice mutations were detected; 6 truncating mutations and 1 splice mutation were detected in the loss group; 1 truncating mutation was detected in the heterogeneous group. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that TP53 cases with high mutation risk have impartial adverse significance for the 131 patients included in survival analysis ( HR=2.612, 95% CI 1.145-5.956, P=0.022) . Conclusion:IHC of P53 exhibiting loss (<1% ) or diffuse (>80% ) pattern indicated TP53 high mutation risk, IHC can predict TP53 mutation with high specificity and sensitivity. TP53 high mutation risk is an independent predictor for adverse survival.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Sini-Jia-Huanglian Decoction on chronic heart failure (CHF) with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Methods:A total of 100 patients with CHF and qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in Handan Mingren hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, and the treatment group was treated with Sini-Jia-Huanglian Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 30 days. TCM syndrome score was performed before and after treatment. The level of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was detected by radioimmunoassay. The levels of peptide and galectin 3 (Gal-3) were detected by ELISA. The exercise tolerance was measured by 6-minute walking test, the clinical efficacy was tevaluated. Results:The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92.0% (46/50), and the control group was 76.0% (38/50), there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.762, P=0.029). After treatment, the scores of shortness of breath, palpitation, dyspnea, dizziness, chest pain and total scores in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 4.257, 8.493, 8.211, 4.481, 5.500, 6.977, respectively, all Ps<0.01). After treatment, the levels of NT-proBNP (2 349.61 ± 683.50 ng/L vs. 3 026.27 ± 714.35 ng/L, t=4.840), and peptide (12.16 ± 3.43 ng/L vs. 17.52 ± 3.98 ng/L, t=7.214) and Gal-3 (3.01 ± 0.82 μg/L vs. 3.94 ± 0.93 μg/L, t=5.304) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01), and the walking distance of 6 minutes (450.66 ± 79.25 m vs. 384.49 ± 70.16 m, t=4.421) was significantly longer than that of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The Sini-Jia-Huanglian Decoction can improve the heart function and clinical symptoms of CHF patients with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, and improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate clinical effect and mechanism of Yudanrongxin pills in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) .Methods 86 cases of AMI in our hospital from February 2014 to February 2015 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group, with 43 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with conventional therapy, while patients in observation group were treated with Yudanrongxin pills on the basis of the control group.The related inflammation factors, indicators of myocardial injury and heart function index were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, in both two groups after treatment, the serum inflammatory factors including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), IL-6,soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), TNF-αand P-selectin decreased, the myocardial injury criterion including creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), myocardial troponin I (cTnI) and myoglobin (Mb) decreased,the cardiac function indexes of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) decreased and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased (P<0.05).Compared with control group, the hs-CRP,IL-6,sVCAM-1,TNF-α,P-selectin,CK-MB,LD,cTnI and Mb in observation group were lower(P<0.05).The degree of improvement at cardiac function was better than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Yudanrongxin pills could better improve cardiac function in treatment with AMI, its role was relative to inhibition of inflammatory factors and myocardial protection against injury.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of macrophages on embryo implantation by observing the distribution of macrophages in mouse uterine tissues during the peri-implantation period.

METHODSUterine tissues were collected from pregnant (n=30) and pseudopregnant mice (n=30) during the peri-implantation period. The distributions of macrophages, iNOS and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) were determined by immunohistochemistry and the correlations of macrophages with iNOS and LIF were analyzed.

RESULTSMacrophages were located mainly in the endometrium before D4.5 in the pregnant rats with D0.5 defined as the morning when a vaginal plug was observed. After D4.5, the macrophages was significantly reduced in number (P<0.05) in the endometrium and gradually migrated to the perimetrium. In the psudopregnant mice, macrophages were located mainly in the endometrium. Before D4.5, iNOS-positive cells were detected mainly in the endometrium and the myometrium in the pregnant rats and became significantly reduced on D4.5 (P<0.05); in the pseudopregnant mice, the positive cells were mostly detected in the endometrium. Significant differences were found in the distribution of the macrophages and LIF between the implantation and non-implantation sites (P=0.013). LIF was mostly located in the endometrium in the pregnant mice but scarcely detected in the pseudopregnant mice.

CONCLUSIONMacrophages are located mainly in the endometrium and the implantation site where iNOS and LIF are expressed, suggesting the important role of macrophages in the determination of implantation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of basal serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) ratio on the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

METHODSA retrospective analysis was performed of 134 IVF cycles in patients with PCOS. The cycles were classified into 2 groups according to serum levels of LH and also into 2 groups according to LH/FSH ratio, namely group A1 (LH≤10 IU/L), group A2 (LH>10 IU/L), group B1 (LH/FSH ratio<2), and group B2 (LH/FSH ratio≥2). The clinical characteristics, embryological data and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the groups.

RESULTSPatients in group A2 showed significantly higher FSH, T level, and LH/FSH ratio with a greater number of oocytes retrieved than those in group A1, but the time for down-regulation, duration of stimulation, AFC, LH and LH/FSH on the first day of stimulation, embryological data and pregnancy outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. Compared with group B1, group B2 showed higher basal LH, E2 level on the day of HCG, more oocytes retrieved and lower dose of gonadotropins used, but the time for down-regulation, duration of stimulation, LH and LH/FSH on the first day of stimulation and pregnancy outcomes were comparable between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONA high basal LH level or a high LH/FSH ratio does not produce obvious deleterious effect on the clinical outcomes of IVF-ET in women with PCOS who take oral contraceptives for pretreatment before long GnRH-agonist protocol.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in assessment of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout mice feeding with western diet.Methods Sixteen ApoE knockout mice in 8 weeks age were selected,then divided into two groups.One group was fed with west diet as high-fat group,and another group was fed with normal diet as control group.Intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque area in the aortic root were assessed by UBM in two groups after 8 weeks and 16 weeks.And the measurements of UBM were compared with results of histopathology and blood-fat.ResultsThicken wall and plaque could be find in aortic root in control group and high-fat diet group byUBM.IMT and plaque area in high-fat diet group was significantly higher than those of control group ( P ＜ 0.05).The IMT and plaque area in UBM were good correlation with histopathology ( rwas 0.81 and 0.70 respectively).The triglyceride(TC) and total cholesterol in high-fat diet group was significantly higher than those of control group ( P ＜0.05),and IMT in UBM were increased with the elevated level of TC,there was a positive correlation between IMT and TC( r =0.528).ConclusionsWestern diet can accelerate the process in formation of atherosclerotic plaque in ApoE knockout mice.UBM can be used to observe this prograss noninvasively in vivo mice.

A method was developed for the determination of 54 volatile hydrocarbons in workplace air by thermal desorption/gas chromatography-hydrogen flame ionization detector. The workplace air was adsorbed by Tenax-TA thermal desorption tubes, then desorbed by thermal desorption and detected by gas chromatography. The experimental results indicated that the coefficients efficiency of 1,1-dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, 2,2-dichloropropane, bromochloromethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloropropene were 0.9941-0.9986. The detection limits of bromochloromethane, dibromomethane, trichloromethane, bromodichloromethane, 2,2-dichloropropane, dibromochloromethane, bromoform were 5.4-10.3 ng, the minimum detectable concentration was 0.01-0.1 mg/m~3 (the air volume=0.5 L). The coefficients efficiency of other 38 volatile hydrocarbons was above 0.999, the minimum detectable concentration were 0.001-0.01 mg/m~3. The detection limits of alkenes were 0.4-2.7 ng, alkanes 1.4-3.7 ng, aromatic hydrocarbons 0.2-1.0 ng and naphthalene 2.2 ng. The desorption efficiencies of 54 volatile hydrocarbons were 92.1%-113.1% and the relative standard deviations(RSDs) were 0.6%-17.4%. Except for the RSD values of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 2,2-dichloropropane, trichloromethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, bromochloromethane were 5.1%-17.4%, those of other volatile hydrocarbons were below 5%;The experimental results indicated that the breakthrough capacities of 9 volatile hydrocarbons were 400-4000 ng, those of the other volatile hydrocarbons were above 10 μg. Except for the loss rates of 2,2-dichloropropane, bromodichloromethane were 10%-15% in stable experiment, those of other volatile hydrocarbons in Tenax desorption tubes were below 5%, which indicated that 54 volatile hydrocarbons stored in Tenax tubes were stable. The method is a quick and accurate for the detection of volatile hydrocarbons in workplace air.
