Depression,as a common mental illness in the world,has troubled hundreds of millions of patients,affecting the normal life and work of patients,and in serious cases,suicidal tendencies may occur. Depression can be classified into the categories of stagnation syndrome,running piglet,lily disease,and other diseases in traditional Chinese medicine,the mechanism of the disease is mostly related to depression and stagnation,and the clinical symptoms such as low mood and oppression in chest often appear. Based on ZHANG Jingyue's theory of "yang moving and dispersing",under the pathological state of "yang moving and dispersing",yang disperses and is deficient,leading to yang immobile,and then becomes depression,which ultimately leading to yang depression and the onset of the disease. Clinical treatment should be based on the basic therapeutic method of promoting yang and resolving depression,warming and tonifying yang qi,and regulating qi movement,so as to carry out the syndrome differentiation and treatment of depression.

Purpose: This study attempted to detect the changes of cervical cancer screening rate and willingness among female migrants, and the associated socio-demographic factors in Shenzhen city. Materials and Methods: Two citywide surveys were conducted using a multistage random cluster sampling method in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Data on demographic characteristics, screening participation, and willingness to screen were collected. Logistic regression models were applied to detect possible associated socio-demographic characteristics, and their variations with survey years. Results: In total, 12,017 female migrants were enrolled, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 36.73 (6.55) years. From 2011 to 2014, the screening rate increased (25.8% vs. 35.1%, p < 0.001), while the willingness to screen remained stable (82.2% vs. 82.8%, p=0.46). Overall, socio-demographic characteristics of female migrants, including age, marital status, education, monthly income, employment, and medical insurance, were found to be positively associated with screening participation. Similar impacts in relation to willingness were observed except for age. However, these associations varied with survey years, mainly in the contributions of education and monthly income to screening participation, as well as age, monthly income, and medical insurance to willingness of being screened. Conclusion Identifying changes of associated socio-demographic factors precisely is warranted of necessity, which provides novel clues to adjust targeted actions regularly in promoting cervical cancer screening participation among female migrants in Shenzhen.

Objective: To observe changes in the molecular expression of the NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing Protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway in depressed rats after treatment with Xiaoyaosan, and identify the regu-latory mechanism of this compound. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with 12 rats in each group, including the control group, model group, Fluoxetine group, Xiaoyaosan group, and MCC950 group. A depression model was generated by chronic immobilization stress (induced by 3 h of restraint immo-bilization every day), and the drugs were administered at the same time in each group for 21 days. The effects of Xiaoyaosan on behavioral changes of depressed rats were observed through macroscopic characterization, body mass, open field experiments, and a sucrose preference test. The mRNA and protein expression of the NLRP3 signaling pathway was examined by fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assays. Results: The Xiaoyaosan group, Fluoxetine group, and MCC950 group rats showed improved depressive behavior and an increased weight of sucrose water consumption. The protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β were also decreased in the Fluoxetine, Xiaoyaosan, and MCC950 groups. Conclusion: NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β protein and mRNA expression levels were increased in the cortex of depressed rats, while Xiaoyaosan protected cortical tissue in these rats by decreasing NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1βprotein and mRNA expression.

Purpose: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to evaluate the differences on awareness and attitude towards human papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccine between local and migrant residents who participated in cervical cancer screening in Shenzhen, China. Materials and Methods: A total of 9,855 females sampled from healthcare institutions in 20 street blocks through the Cervical Cancer Prevention Network were surveyed in this study by a self-administered questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to explore the role of the hukou and resident status in the willingness to receive HPV vaccination. Results: Local residents had a relatively higher awareness of HPV (62.0% vs. 35.6% vs. 29.9%, p < 0.001) and its vaccine (35.3% vs. 15.4% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.001), as well as a higher willingness to receive HPV vaccination (68.5% vs. 62.5% vs. 56.2%, p < 0.001) than non-permanent residents and floating population. Except for age, education level, marital status, monthly income, having daughter(s), and heard of HPV and its vaccine, the hukou and resident status significantly associated with the willingness to receive HPV vaccination (local residents vs. floating population: odds ratio, 1.216; 95% confidence interval, 1.057 to 1.398). None significant difference on the associated factors was found between local residents and internal migrants (p for interactions > 0.05). Conclusion Inequalities in awareness and attitude towards HPV and its vaccine existed between local and migrant residents in Shenzhen. The hukou and resident status did impact on the willingness to receive HPV vaccination, therefore, it is critical to implement effective health education campaigns on HPV and its vaccine among internal migrants.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of myeloid neoplasms with t (3;21) (q26;q22) . Methods: Clinical data of patients with t (3; 21) (q26; q22) , diagnosed as hematologic malignancies in Peking University people's hospital from January 2011 to March 2018, were collected retrospectively. 19 patients in our hospital and forty-eight patients bearing t (3;21) (q26;q22) with detailed survival data reported in literature were summarized. Kaplan- Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: Among 19 patients, including 15 males and 4 females with a median age of 36 years (22-68 years) , 4 cases was diagnosed as de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , 4 as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) , 3 as MDS-AML and 8 as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in myeloid blast transformation. All of the 19 patients were detected to have t (3;21) (q26;q22) by G-banding technique and 13 carried additional cytogenetic aberrations. 9 of the 19 patients were detected for positive AML1-MDS1 fusion genes. In the 9 patients with detailed follow-up data, 6 patients received chemotherapy and only 2 achieved complete remission (CR) while 4 with no response. During the follow-up period, 8 patients died and the median overall survival (OS) was 6 months (4.5 to 22 months) . Survival analysis of the present 9 patients together with the literature data showed that the prognosis was poor and the median OS was 7 months. In particular, AML/t-AML had the worst prognosis. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could significantly improve survival, the median OS in HSCT group and non-HSCT group were 20.9 and 4.7 months respectively (P<0.001) . Conclusions t (3; 21) (q26; q22) is a rare recurrent chromosomal abnormality which is detected mainly in myeloid neoplasm and confer to poor clinical prognosis. HSCT should be recommended to improve the outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the effects of prostate cancer exosomes on the migration and invasion ability of stromal cells (WPMY-1), and to explore its mechanism. Methods: Exosomes in LNCaP-AI+F prostate cancer cell supernatant were isolated by ultracentrifugation and the typical structure of exosome was captured by electron microscope. The particle size distribution was analyzed by Zetaview, and Wb was used to identify the marker proteins and other proteins.After co-incubation of WPMY-1 cells and prostate cancer exosomes (40 µg/ml), laser confocal microscope was used to observe the uptake of PKH67-labeled exosomes by WPMY-1 cells; Transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells; qPCR was performed to detect the expression of three cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-related molecules (IL-8, PDGFB and MMP9) at mRNA level; and the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 was analyzed by Wb. Results: Typical cup-shaped structure of exosomes was observed under electron microscope. The Zetaview results showed that the particle size distribution was concentrated at about 100 nm. The expression of exosome marker proteins CD63 andALIX further verified that the isolated particles were exosomes. Besides, EGFR, HER2 and SRC, which were related to the progression of prostate cancer, were also enriched in exosomes. After co-incubation, confocal microscope imaging showed a number of PKH67 labeled exosomes in recipient WPMY-1 cells. Transwell experiments showed that exosomes could significantly enhance the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells (all P<0.01). Compared with the control group, increased secretion of IL-8, PDGFB and MMP9 was observed after exosome treatment (40 µg/ml) (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Wb indicated that exosomes could promote the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 of WPMY-1 cells (P<0.01). Conclusion: Prostate cancer cell exosomes could act on the stromal cell WPMY-1 to highly express multiple CAF-related molecules, promote the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 and enhance the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of consolidation chemotherapy combined with allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell infusion in the treatment of low or intermediate-risk (LIR) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) . Methods: A cohort of 23 LIR AML patients at hematologic complete remission (CR) received NK cell transfusion combined with consolidation chemotherapy after 3 consolidation courses from January 2014 to June 2019 were reviewed. Control group cases were concurrent patients from Department of Hematology, and their gender, age, diagnosis, risk stratification of prognosis, CR and the number of courses of consolidate chemotherapy before NK cell transfusion were matched with LIR AML patients. Results: A total of 45 times of NK cells were injected into 23 LIR AML patients during 4 to 7 courses of chemotherapy. The median NK cell infusion quantity was 7.5 (6.6-8.6) ×10⁹/L, and the median survival rate of NK cells was 95.4% (93.9%-96.9%) . Among them, the median CD3^-CD56⁺ cell number was 5.0 (1.4-6.4) ×10⁹/L, accounting for 76.8% (30.8%-82.9%) ; The number of CD3⁺ CD56⁺ cells was 0.55 (0.24-1.74) ×10⁹/L, accounting for 8.8% (4.9%-20.9%) . Before NK cell infusion, the number of patients with positive MRD in the treatment and control groups were 9/23 (39.1%) and 19/46 (41.3%) (χ²=0.030, P=0.862) respectively. After NK infusion, There was no significant difference in terms of MRD that went from negative to positive between the treatment and the control groups (14.3% vs 22.2%, χ²=0.037, P=0.847) . In the treatment group, 66.7% (6/9) of the MRD were converted from positive to negative, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (10.5%, 2/19) (χ²=6.811, P=0.009) . Morphological recurrence occurred in 1 case of MRD negative in the treatment group and 2 cases of MRD positive in the control group. By the end of follow-up, the median follow-up was 35 (10-59) months, the number of patients with morphological recurrence in the treatment group was 30.4% (7/23) , which was significantly lower than that in the control group (50.2%, 24/46) (χ²=2.929, P=0.087) , although there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference on MRD-negative between the treatment and the control groups (43.5% vs 43.5%, χ²=1.045, P=0.307) . The 3-year leukemia-free survival was better in the treatment group [ (65.1±11.1) %] than that in the control group [ (50.0±7.4) %] (P=0.047) . The 3-year overall survival in the treatment and control groups were (78.1±10.2) % and (65.8±8.0) % (P=0.212) , respectively. Conclusion The consolidation of chemotherapy combined with allogeneic NK cell infusion contributed to the further remission of patients with LMR AML and the reduction of long-term recurrence.

Objective: To optimize the existing methods of isolation and purification for exosomes from urine and explore the effects of different storage conditions on the content of exosomal RNA in urine. Methods: The exosomes in human urine samples were extracted by different precipitation method, i.e., precipitation following first concentrating and direct precipitation, respectively, and the separation efficiency and cost of the two methods were compared. ExoQuick-TCTM precipitation kit was used to extract exosomes. Nanoparticle tracking analysis technique (NTA) was used to detect the concentration and particle size distribution of exosome. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to detect the potential of exosome. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe morphology of exosomes. western blot was used to analyze the exosomal marker molecules CD63 and Alix. The extraction method of the precipitation following first concentrating was used to verify the reliability of the optimized method in 10 clinical urine samples . Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of exosomal RNA marker let-7c and PSA mRNA in the urinary exosomes from 20 patients with prostate cancer after repeated freeze-thaw (0 [i.e., fresh], 1 , 3 and 5 times) and 9 patients with prostate cancer frozen at -80 ℃ for different time (0 [i.e., fresh], 1, 2 and 4 weeks), and were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test for differences between the 2 groups. Results: The size distribution of exosomes extracted by the two methods was 30 to 150 nm by NTA, both of which were displayed as single peaks. The results of DLS showed that the potentials of exosome extracted by the two methods were negative values. The size of the exosomes extracted by the two methods was consistent observed under TEM namely the diameter distribution was 30 to 150 nm. western blot analysis confirmed that CD63 and Alix, the exosome labeling molecules, existed in the optimized method. The concentration of exosomes extracted from the 10 urine samples all reached 10 9 to 10 11 particles/mL. The contents of let-7c and PSA mRNA in exosomes decreased significantly after 5 freeze-thaw cycles, and the Z values were -1.79 and -1.73, respectively (P＜0.05). The RNA content of the exosomes remained stable after freezing at -80 ℃ for 1 month. Conclusion The optimized exosome extraction method could reduce greatly the cost under the premises of ensuring the concentration and quality of exosomes. The isolated exosomes may keep stable RNA content after freezing at -80 ℃ for a short time, but could not be frozen and thawed repeatedly for more than 5 times.

Objective: To study the effects of Xiaoyaosan on sexual behavior and inflammatory factors of rat with depression. Methods: The establishing depressive rat models of chronic mild unpredictable stress were established. The rats were randomly divided into model group and Xiaoyaosan group, 15 in each group. The Xiaoyaosan group was given 4.612 5 g/(kg•d) Xiaoyaosan, the blank group and the model group were intragastrically administered with normal saline once daily. After 4 weeks of oral administration, mount frequency and perineal licking numbers to female rats in each experimental group were observed by sexual behavior experiment, and the spleen index and thymus index were calculated. The serum DA, IL-1β, IL-6 levels were tested by Elisa. Results: Compared with the normal group, the mount frequency (4.42 ± 3.91 vs. 11.58 ± 6.54), perineal licking numbers (3.53 ± 3.29 vs. 16.36 ± 10.68) and serum DA levels (14.14 ± 0.71 pg/ml vs. 17.44 ± 4.06 pg/ml) in the model group significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the thymus index (0.012 4 ± 0.001 8 vs. 0.009 3 ± 0.001 7), serum IL-1β (39.45 ± 11.98 pg/ml vs. 28.62 ± 6.61 pg/ml), IL-6 levels (9.74 ± 1.49 pg/ml vs. 6.40 ± 0.66 pg/ml) significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the contents of serum DA in Xiaoyaosan group (15.90 ± 1.24 pg/ml vs. 14.14 ± 0.71 pg/ml) increased significantly (P<0.01), and the thymus index (0.009 9 ± 0.001 3 vs. 0.012 4 ± 0.001 8) and IL-6 levels (8.32 ± 0.39 pg/ml vs. 9.74 ± 1.49 pg/ml) decreased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions The Xiaoyaosan had a therapeutic effect on immune dysfunction and increases the expression of serum dopamine in depressive rats, which may be one of the mechanisms of its anti-depression.
