Background and objective Lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)is a highly morbid and fatal cancer.De-spite advancements in modern medical treatment,the 5-year survival rate of patients remains suboptimal.Our previous study revealed that zinc finger SWIM-type containing 1(ZSWIM1),a novel protein,promotes the proliferation,migration,and inva-sion of LUAD cells.The aim of this study is to investigate the impact ofE3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif protein 21(TRIM21)on ZSWIM1-mediated cell proliferation and migration.Methods The interaction and co-localization between TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 were verified using co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)and immunofluorescence(IF).The effects of TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 on the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells were assessed through MTT and Transwell assays,respectively.Western blot(WB)analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of TRIM21 and ZSWIM1 on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers in LUAD cells.The influence of TRIM21 on the ubiquitination of ZSWIM1 was exam-ined using Co-IP combined with WB.Results TRIM21 was found to interact and co-localize with ZSWIM1.Overexpression of TRIM21 inhibited the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells.Overexpression of TRIM21 reduced the promoting effect of ZSWIM1 on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells,and reversed the impact of ZSWIM1 on the expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin.Conversely,knockdown of TRIM21 further enhanced the promoting effect of ZSWIM1 on the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells.Mechanistically,we observed that overexpression of TRIM21 significantly en-hanced the ubiquitination level of ZSWIM1,leading to a decrease in ZSWIM1 protein expression.Conclusion TRIM21 binds to and promotes the ubiquitination of ZSWIM1,resulting in reduced protein expression of ZSWIM1,which leads to the inhibition of ZSWIM1-mediated promotion of proliferation,migration,and invasion in LUAD cells.

Objective:To study the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes for the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy after cesarean section complicated with placenta previa.Methods:A national multicenter retrospective study was conducted to select a total of 747 pregnant women with the third trimester singleton pregnancy after cesarean section complicated with placenta previa from 12 tertiary hospitals in January 1st to December 31st, 2018. The risk factors of severe adverse outcomes [hysterectomy, intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml, intraoperative diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS)] in pregnant women with second pregnancy complicated with placenta previa after cesarean section were investigated by logistic regression analysis. The roles of prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prediction of PAS and severe adverse outcomes were observed. According to whether vascular intervention was performed (uterine artery embolization or abdominal aortic balloon occlusion), the pregnant women were divided into the blocked group and the unblocked group, and the maternal and infant perinatal outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results:(1) General information: the hysterectomy rate of 747 pregnant women with second pregnancy complicated with placenta previa after cesarean section was 10.4% (78/747), the intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml in 55.8% (417/747), and PAS was confirmed in 47.5% (355/747). The incidence of uterine rupture was 0.8% (6/747). (2) Analysis of risk factors for severe adverse outcomes: based on binary unconditioned logistic regression univariate and multivariate analysis, the risk factors for hysterectomy were the mode of vascular embolization and intraoperative blood loss. The probability of hysterectomy with uterine artery embolization was 5.319 times higher than that with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion (95% CI: 1.346-21.018). The risk factors of intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 ml were the number of cesarean section delivery, ultrasonography indicated PAS and suspected PAS, intraoperative PAS and complete placenta previa. The risk factors for intraoperative PAS were uterine scar thickness, ultrasonography indicated PAS and suspected PAS, MRI indicated PAS and suspected PAS, and complete placenta previa. (3) The roles of ultrasonography and MRI in predicting PAS: the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography in predicting PAS were 47.5% and 88.4%; the kappa value was 0.279 ( P<0.001), with fair agreement. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI to predict PAS were 79.2% and 97.8%, respectively. The kappa value was 0.702 ( P<0.001), indicating a good agreement. The intraoperative blood loss and hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with PAS indicated by ultrasonography and MRI were significantly higher than those with PAS only by ultrasonography or MRI. (4) Influence of vascular occlusion on pregnancy outcome: there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and incidence of intraoperative bleeding ≥1 000 ml between the blocked group and the unblocked group (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the pregnant women with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion, uterine artery embolization and those without occlusion ( P=0.409). The hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with uterine artery embolization was significantly higher than those with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion [39.3% (22/56) vs 10.0% (5/50), P=0.001]. Conclusions:In the third trimester of pregnancy with placenta previa after cesarean section, MRI examination has better consistency in predicting PAS than ultrasonography examination. Ultrasonography examination combined with MRI examination could effectively predict the hysterectomy rate and intraoperative blood loss. Vascular occlusion could not reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss. The hysterectomy rate of pregnant women with uterine artery embolization is higher than those with abdominal aortic balloon occlusion.

Objective: To analyze the trends and influencing factors of endurance performance of 19-22 years old college students in Hunan Province from 1985 to 2019, so as to provide objective and scientific basis for sports and health work in colleges and universities. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 14 490 college students aged 19-22 in Hunan Province from 8 consecutive National Student Physical Fitness and Health Surveys conducted from 1985 to 2019. The analysis indexes were 1 000 m running for boys and 800 m running for girls. Results: From 1985 to 2019, the endurance running time of 19-22 years old Han college students in Hunan Province showed an obvious trend of decline. The 1 000 m running time of urban and rural male students increased by 41.9 and 45.4 s on average, and the 800 m running time of urban and rural female students increased by 29.5 and 30.6 s on average, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age ( β =0.17), urban students (rural students as reference; β =0.44), GDP ( β =0.94) and urbanization level ( β = 0.44 ) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of males. Urban students ( β =0.92), GDP ( β = 1.38 ) and Engel coefficient ( β =0.93) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of females. BMI ( β =-0.47) was negatively correlated with the females mean time of endurance running ( P ＜0.05). Conclusion The endurance performance of Han college students in Hunan Province showed a declining trend from 1985 to 2019,which is associated with age, urban and rural distribution, regional GDP, Engel s coefficient, urbanization level and BMI. Effective measures should be taken to improve the physical quality of college students.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of combined teaching of optical laryngoscope and general laryngoscope on anesthesia undergraduate practice.Methods:A total of 40 anesthesia undergraduate students were randomly divided into group A (using the optical laryngocope only in the first month and the general laryngoscope only in the second month, n=20), and group B (using the general laryngocope only in the first month and the optical laryngoscope only in the second month, n=20). The teaching effect was evaluated through the first month and the second month of tracheal intubation assessment and questionnaire survey results. SPSS 23.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:In the first month, the success rate was 90% in group A and 60% in group B, which showed that the success rate of group B was lower, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). The time for tracheal intubation in group A was (61.8±5.0) s, and that in the group B was (83.0±4.9) s, showing that the time of group B was longer, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). The complications in group A was 5%, and that in group B was 14%, showing that the group B had more cases of implications, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). In the second month, there was no significant difference in the one-time success rate, the time for tracheal intubation, and complications between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in one-time success rate and complications between groups. Both groups showed that the time for general laryngoscope intubation was longer, with significant differences ( P < 0.05). All of the students believed that applying optical laryngoscope teaching was beneficial and could enhance the interest of learning, and the combination of the two methods was better. Conclusion:Using the optical laryngoscope first and then the general laryngoscope teaching is more beneficial for students to master the two methods of tracheal intubation, improve the success rate, reduce complications, and cultivates their self-confidence.

Objective:To study the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester.Methods:A national multicenter retrospective study was conducted. A total of 154 singletons pregnant women with cesarean scar pregnancy during the second trimester induced abortion by various reasons in 12 tertiary A hospitals were selected, their pregnant outcomes were observed and the risk factors of serious adverse outcomes were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logstic regression; the role of ultrasound and MRI in predicting placenta accreta and severe adverse outcomes was evaluated, the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in preventing hemorrhage in pregnant women with and without placenta accreta was compared.Results:Among 154 subjects, the rate of placenta accreta was 42.2% (65/154), the rate of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml was 39.0% (60/154), the rate of hysterectomy was 14.9% (23/154), the rate of uterine rupture was 0.6% (1/154). The risk factor of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml and hysterectomy was placenta accreta ( P<0.01). For each increase in the number of parity, the risk of placenta accreta increased 2.385 times (95% CI: 1.046-5.439; P=0.039); and the risk of placenta accreta decreased with increasing ultrasound measurement of scar myometrium thickness ( OR=0.033, 95% CI: 0.001-0.762; P=0.033). The amount of postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy rate in the group with placenta accreta diagnosed by ultrasound combined with MRI were not significantly different from those in the group with placenta accreta diagnosed by ultrasound only or MRI only (all P>0.05). For pregnant women with placenta accreta, there were no significant difference in the amount of bleeding and hysterectomy rate between the UAE group [median: 1 300 ml; 34% (16/47)] and the non-embolization group (all P>0.05); in pregnant women without placenta accreta, the amount of bleeding in the UAE group was lower than that in the non-embolization group (median: 100 vs 600 ml; P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in hysterectomy rate [2% (1/56) vs 9% (3/33); P>0.05]. Conclusions:(1) Placenta accreta is the only risk factor of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml with hysterectomy for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester; multi-parity and ultrasound measurement of scar myometrium thickness are risk factors for placenta accreta. (2) The technique of using ultrasound and MRI in predicting placenta accreta of cesarean scar pregnancy needs to be improved. (3) It is necessary to discuss of UAE in preventing postpartum hemorrhage for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester.

After 30 days of intervention, the swallowing function was assessed by water swallow test, quality of life was evaluated by Short form of 36, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia was also compared between groups.Results:After intervention, the grade 1 patients in water swallow test were up to 29.3%(12/41) in the experimental group, and 18.6%(8/43) in the control group, the water swallow test was better in the experimental group compared to the control group ( Z value was 2.332, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group (61.39±13.07, 60.44±10.89, 62.07±14.82, 64.78±15.24, 446.15±42.06 vs. 53.19±14.77, 50.09±13.15, 53.91±16.72, 57.81±16.34, 410.98±35.81), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.018-4.133, P<0.01 or 0.05). The incidence of aspiration pneumonia was significantly decreased in the experimental group (2.4%,1/41) compared to the control group (16.3%,7/43), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.666, P<0.05). Conclusions:Iowa evidence practice mode-based management program can promote the swallowing function of stroke patients, as well as promote improve quality of life and decrease the incidence of aspiration pneumonia. It serves as an instruction for clinical intervention.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of cystic fibrosis (CF) associated allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) in children.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in 22 children who were diagnosed with CF associated ABPA in Beijing Children′s Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 2010 to March 2020. The clinical features, imaging characteristics, laboratory results and the prognosis were reviewed.Results:A total of 22 cases met the diagnostic criterion, including 12 males and 10 females. The age of diagnosis was (10.4±2.8) years and the age of onset was (5.5±4.4) years. Clinical manifestations included cough and expectoration (22 cases), recurrent wheezing (15 cases), hemoptysis (7 cases), failure to thrive (12 cases), pancreatitis (10 cases), hepatomegaly (7 cases), splenomegaly (4 cases) and steatorrhea (4 cases). CT scans of all the patients showed pulmonary infiltrates and central bronchiectasis, combined with mucoid impaction in 17 cases and high density mucus plug in 12 cases. Eosinophilia was found in 18 patients. Total IgE and serum levels of A. fumigatus-specific IgE were elevated in all 22 patients. Positive culture of sputum or bronchoalvedar lauage fluid for fungus were in 15 cases, with single Aspergillus infection in 8 cases and mixed Aspergillus infection in 3 cases. The predominant bacteria found in the airways were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17 cases), followed by staphylococcas. aureus (6 cases) and stenotrophomonas. maltophilia (5 cases). Pulmonary function revealed obstructive ventilation dysfunction in 4 cases, mixed dysfunction in 11 cases, and small airway dysfunction in 4 cases. Regarding the treatment, 3 were treated only with systemic corticosteroid, while the remaining 19 cases also received antifungal agents.The follow up continued for 1-7 years, and 6 maintained remission, 10 had recurrent episodes, 1 died, and 5 lost to follow up. Conclusions:CF associated ABPA is extremely rare in China. The overlapping clinical, radiographic, and immunologic features of these two diseases make the diagnosis challenging. Systemic corticosteroids are considered the first-line therapy for these patients, and adjuvant antifungal agents may be helpful. Recurrence rate in our center is high.

Esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies in the world and occurs at particularly higher frequency in China. While several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of germline variants and whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing studies of somatic mutations in ESCC have been published, there is no comprehensive database publically available for this cancer. Here, we developed the Chinese Cancer Genomic Database-Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CCGD-ESCC) database, which contains the associations of 69,593 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with ESCC risk in 2022 cases and 2039 controls, survival time of 1006 ESCC patients (survival GWAS) and gene expression (expression quantitative trait loci, eQTL) in 94 ESCC patients. Moreover, this database also provides the associations between 8833 somatic mutations and survival time in 675 ESCC patients. Our user-friendly database is a resource useful for biologists and oncologists not only in identifying the associations of genetic variants or somatic mutations with the development and progression of ESCC but also in studying the underlying mechanisms for tumorigenesis of the cancer. CCGD-ESCC is freely accessible at http://db.cbi.pku.edu.cn/ccgd/ESCCdb.
