Background The incidence rate of missed abortion is increasing year by year, but the etiology has not been fully elucidated. Adverse pregnancy history and exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may increase the risk of missed abortion. Objective To investigate the interaction between adverse pregnancy history and PAHs exposure on missed abortion in early pregnancy, and to provide evidence for the etiologic research of missed abortion. Methods A total of 114 pregnant women diagnosed with missed abortion in the Department of Obstetrics of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March to December 2019 were selected as the case group, and 139 pregnant women who visited the same hospital for voluntary induced abortion in the same period as the control group, to collect basic information and medical information of abortion, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, and other adverse pregnancy history. Abortion villus tissues were collected to detect PAH-DNA adducts levels, stratified by pregnancy and adverse pregnancy history and grouped by quartile method: Q₁ (< 404.61 ng·L⁻¹), Q₂ (404.61−453.75 ng·L⁻¹), Q₃ (453.76−506.72 ng·L⁻¹), and Q₄ (≥506.73 ng·L⁻¹). SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for χ² test and multiple logistic regression, and additive and multiplicative models were used to investigate the interaction between adverse pregnancy history and PAH-DNA adducts level on missed abortion. The PAH-DNA adducts were grouped by tertiles and quartiles, and P₃₃, P₅₀, P₆₇ and P₇₅ were used as data cut points for sensitivity analysis. Results The proportion of adverse pregnancy history in the case group (32.46%) was higher than that in the control group (12.23%) (P < 0.001). Among 160 subjects with≥2 pregnancies, the proportion of adverse pregnancy history in the case group (57.81%) was higher than that in the control group (17.71%) (P < 0.001). The results of χ² test stratified by pregnancy for different PAH-DNA adducts levels between the two groups showed that the PAH-DNA adducts level was associated with missed abortion in subjects with≥2 pregnancies (χ²=10.14, P=0.017). Being further stratified by adverse pregnancy history, the PAH-DNA adducts level in subjects with no adverse pregnancy history was associated with missed abortion (χ²=9.70, P=0.021). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that adverse pregnancy history (OR=5.88, 95%CI: 2.79−12.39) and PAH-DNA adducts (OR=3.01, 95%CI: 1.22−7.40) increased the risk of missed abortion, but no interaction between them was found. The relative excess risk of interaction (RERI), the attributable percentage of interaction (AP), and the synergy index (SI) and its 95%CI were 0.60 (95%CI: −0.58−1.77), 0.74 (95%CI: −0.83−2.30), and 0.20 (95%CI: 0.01−5.43), respectively. Conclusions Adverse pregnancy history and PAH-DNA adducts in pregnant women may increase the risk of missed abortion. The effect of the interaction between them on the occurrence of missed abortion is not supported by the current study.

Objective:To investigate the effects of anemoside B4 on proliferation, apoptosis and migration of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells through a variety of biological methods, and further to explore its mechanism.Methods:Ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were cultured in vitro. CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of SKOV3 cells treated with different concentrations of anemoside B4, and IC50 value was calculated. Flow cytometry was employed to detect the apoptosis of cells treated with IC50 concentration of anemoside B4 for different time length; Transwell method was used to detect the migration and invasion of cells treated with IC50 concentration of anemoside B4 for different time length. Western blot was used to detect changes in the expression of related proteins.Results:Anemoside B4 can effectively inhibit the proliferation of SKOV3 cells, showing a concentration-dependent IC50 value of 6.08±0.56 μM, and the inhibitory effect is stronger than the positive control drug cisplatin, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05) . Flow cytometry showed that anemoside B4 could induce SKOV3 cells apoptosis, reduce Bcl-xl expression, and up-regulate the expression of Bax, cleaved-caspase-3 and PARP. Compared with the group of 0 h, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Crocetin could down-regulate the expression of N-cadherin and up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin, thereby inhibiting the migration of SKOV3 cells. Anemoside B4 could inhibit the expression of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway proteins.Conclusion:Anemoside B4 can effectively inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer cells, and induce SKOV3 cell apoptosis by regulating the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway to inhibit their migration. Crocetin has great potential in the research and development of ovarian cancer therapy.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic characteristics of laparoscopic repair in children with ure-terovesical junction malformation through internal or external bladder.Methods:From February 2018 to August 2019, 29 cases of hydronephrosis combined with ureter expansion treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, with 17 boys and 12 girls confirmed through the preoperative examinations.Inspection results revealed 15 cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction, 12 cases of vesicoureteral reflux, and 2 cases of single ectopic ureter.Totally, 21 cases were treated by pneumovesical laparoscopic Cohen means, including 17 unilateral cases and 4 bilateral cases, 5 cases of ureterocele, and 8 cases of ureteral clipping.A total of 8 cases were treated by laparoscopic Lich -Gregoir surgical treatment, including 7 unilateral cases and 1 bilateral case.Meanwhile, 4 cases of ureteral clipping were performed among them.There was 1 case of duplex kidney with the ectopic upper ureter outside iliac blood vessels, 1 case of bilateral cryptorchidism and 1 case of unilateral cryptorchidism.Ureteral stents were implanted for those with ureteral tailoring.The catheters were removed 7 days after operation, and the indwelling ureteral stents were removed by cystoscope under general anesthesia after about 6 weeks.Results:All the cases with hydronephrosis and ureteral dilatation were completed in laparoscopic surgery, without open surgery or blood transfusion, 21 cases were treated by pneumovesical laparoscopic Cohen means, with the average time being 1.8 hours in unilateral side and 2.8 hours in bilateral sides.At the same time, 8 cases were treated by laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir means, with the unilateral average time being 1.7 hours and bilateral time being 3.0 hours.All cases were followed up at an average month of 9 (4-20 months), and all children underwent voiding cystourethrography 4 months after the operations.The voiding cystourethrogram(VCUG) of all the cases was confirmed successfully, with only 1 case of vesicoureteral reflux in level Ⅲ, and their hydronephrosis were relieved.There was no vesicoureteral reflux in the others.The short-term urinary retention occurred in 1 patient with bilateral ureteral reimplantation in Lich-Gregoir group, and the symptom disappeared after 1 week of indwelling catheterization.Among them, 1 patient in Cohen group had hematuria that disappeared gradually for 4 days after surgery.There were no significant differences in operation time and postoperative recovery between the two groups.The length of hospital stay in laparoscopic Lich -Gregoir group was slightly longer than that in pneumovesical laparoscopic Cohen group.Conclusions:As for children with ureterovesical junction malformation, laparoscopic Lich-Gregoir surgery is suitable for the ectopia of ureter opening, overexpansion of ureter, and other abdominal malformation complicated and expansive ureter without tortuosity.Pneumovesical laparoscopic Cohen surgery is suitable for hydronephrosis and ureteral expansion with ureterocele, especially with the symptom of dysuria, and ureteral tortuosity obviously.The two ways are safe and reliable, and the advantages and disadvantages should be weighed before being chosen.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and precautions of laparoscopic pyeloplasty for children with hydronephrosis combined with renal trauma.Methods:The clinical data of 6 cases with hydronephrosis and renal trauma admitted to the Department of Pediatric Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2016 to August 2019, aged from 5 to 11 years old (average age 7 years old) were reviewed.These patients had suffered renal trauma for 1 to 4 days.All patients had the symptoms of pain in the affected kidney, and 4 patients had hematuria.The renal pelvis diameter of all patients was more than 25 mm.The patients underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty and renal rupture repairment, with the ureteral stent, perirenal drainage tube and catheter placed inside the body during the operation.Results:All operations were completed successfully without any blood transfusion and open surgery.Intrao-perative time was from 2.5 to 3.5 hours.Two cases had renal parenchymal contusion in the front lower pole of kidneys and 4 cases in the lateral lower pole.Five cases had renal cortex and pelvis rupture, and 1 case had renal cortical fracture and subcapsular hematoncus.After the operation, the perinephric drainage tube was pulled out in 3 to 5 days, the catheter was pulled out in 7 to 10 days, and the ureteral stent was removed in 6 to 8 weeks.All children recovered well and hydronephrosis was ameliorated.The glomerular filtration rates and fractional renal function were all improved.Conclusions:One stage laparoscopic pyeloplasty is safe and effective for the treatment of hydronephrosis with renal trauma in children.Renal trauma in children usually occurs at the lower pole of the kidney.Early operation is needed if hydronephrosis is aggravated and symptoms are not relieved after the trauma.Intraoperative impairment of renal parenchymal rupture can be conducted.For intraoperative bleeding in grade 3 renal injury, renal parenchyma suturation and removal of necrotic renal tissue should be adopted to arrest bleeding.

Objective:To explore the reasons for the retention of long time testicular torsion and the surgical selections of contralateral testis in children.Methods:The data of children with acute scrotal emergencies treated by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2016 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.All the testicular torsion was included in the study sequence to summarize the clinical characteristics of the testicle that could be saved and different treatment methods adopted in the contrary side according to the anatomy of testes.Results:A total of 80 children with testicular torsion were included in the study.The onset time ranged from 2 hours to 15 days.All patients came to the hospital with unilateral scrotal pain or inguinal pain, including 74 cases of unilateral testicular torsion and 6 cases of cryptorchidical testicular torsion.All the children were treated with surgery.Orchiectomy was performed in 69 cases of testicular necrosis, and 11 cases were saved, among which 4 cases took a long time for testicular torsion, the main reason for the retention was the longer spermatic cord in the tunica vaginalis.Of the 80 healthy testes, the adhesion of the testis to tunica vaginalis was normal in 63 cases and abnormal in 17 cases.There were 20 children (including 5 children with abnormal anatomy) were routinely treated with partial removal of the tunica vaginalis and orchiopexy.Among the remaining 60 cases, 12 cases with abnormal adhesion of the testis to tunica vaginalis underwent partial removal of the tunica vaginalis and orchiopexy, and the other 48 cases with normal anatomy received the testis examination and the original incision closure.During the follow-up of 80 cases, 5 cases of the 11 children with the testis preserved returned to normal, 6 cases of them showed atrophy to varying degrees, and no discomfort such as torsion or pain was found in all the healthy testes.Conclusions:The long spermatic cord in the tunica vaginalis is the reason for long time testicular torsion in children with the testis saved.It buys time for the rescue of their testes.Orchiopexy is not necessary for those who have normal anatomy of the healthy testes, while partial removal of the tunica vaginalis and orchiopexy are recommended for patients with bell clapper anomaly.

Objective: To examine the potential mediating effect of perceived social support on job insecurity and psychological distress among clinical nurses. Methods: A total of 462 clinical nurses in Shandong Province were selected by convenience sampling method. They were assessed with job insecurity scale, perceived social support and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) for the evaluation of job insecurity, self-esteem and psychological distress. Results: The mean score of K10 was (23.72±7.22) points among clinical nurses, and 85.9% (397/462) of them had psychological distress problems. The K10 scores were positively correlated with the scores of job insecurity (r=-0.282, P<0.01), and the K10 scores were negatively correlated with perceived social support scores (r = -0.282, P<0.01). Job insecurity was negatively correlated with perceived social support (r = -0.365, P<0.01). The confidence interval from Bootstrap method indicated perceived social support played a partial mediating role between job insecurity and psychological distress, and the value of mediating effect was 13.7%. Conclusion The relation of perceived social support to job insecurity and psychological distress among clinical nurses are intimate. Perceived social support might mediate the relationship between job insecurity and psychological distress.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the level of mental stimulation and the suicide attempts of rural residents in Shandong Province. Methods: A 1:1 matched case-control study was designed to collect 1 200 cases from a survey of three suicide attempts in rural areas of Shandong Province. Controls were selected according to the following matched factors: age difference within 3 years, same gender, same village or neighboring village, no blood relationship, no suicide history. The basic characteristics of all subjects were collected through the questionnaire, and the level of mental stimulation of life events was measured. Multivariate conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the level of mental stimulation of life events and suicide attempts. Results: The mean age of the case group and the control group was both (36.6±0.3) years old, and 35.8% (430/1 200) were males in each group. The low-medium level of mental stimulation of negative life events in the case group was 16.7% (200/1 200) and 61.7% (740/1 200), respectively, which was higher than that in the control group, about 2.5% (30/1 200) and 29.3% (352/1 200) (all P values <0.05), respectively. A total of 11.1% (133/1 200) of the case group had positive life events, which was lower than that of the control group [16.8% (201/1 200)] (all P values<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that after the adjustment of gender, age, place of residence, education level, marital status, occupation, family income, somatic disease, mental disorders, family history of suicide, and opposite life events, the low-medium and high level of mental stimulation of negative life events were risk factors for suicide attempts, with OR (95%CI) as 5.88 (4.53-7.64) and 13.94 (8.15-23.86), respectively. Mental stimulation of positive life events was protective factor of suicide attempts, with OR (95%CI) as 0.58 (0.41-0.82). Conclusion Mental stimulation of negative and positive life events were risk and protective factors for suicide attempts.

Objective To explore the effect of dexmedetomidine for the dosage of drug of pain pump of the patients postoperative.Methods From April 2013 to July 2015,86 patients with intestinal obstructionwhich come to our hospital for surgical treatment were divided into observation group and control group according to the lottery method,each had 43 cases.The patients of control group were given pain pump for pain treatment ; and the patients of observation group were given dexmedetomidine on the base of control group for treatment.The heart rate,systolic arterial pressure(SAP),arterial oxygen pressure(PaO2),analgesia satisfaction,visual analogue scale/score(VAS)pain score,sleep quality score,sufentanil dosage,the number of self-administration,adverse reactions,postoperative anal exhaust time.Results 36h and 72h,SAP,PaO2 in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group after treatment(P<0.05); The total satisfaction of analgesia was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05); VAS pain score was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05); The sleep quality score was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05); The dosage of sufentanil and the times of administration were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05); Anal exhaust time was significantly shorter than the control group(P<0.05); The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion By using dexmedetomidine on the base of pain pump can improve the analgesic effect postoperative,reduce the dosage of pain pump medication and the adverse reactions.

Background:Hydrotalcite has been used in the treatment of gastric ulcer,but its mechanism is not clear. Aims:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of hydrotalcite on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. Methods:Experimental acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer model was established in rats. Model rats were randomly assigned into control group,low and high dose hydrotalcite groups,and 0. 9% NaCl solution,880 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 ,1 230 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 hydrotalcite were intragastrically administrated,respectively. After 14 days,macroscopic examination was performed;and HE staining, CD31 staining and VG staining were used to evaluate the histological maturity,AB-PAS staining,level of hexosamine, immunohistochemical staining,serum levels of epidermal growth factor( EGF),prostaglandin E2( PGE2 )were used to evaluate the functional maturity. Results:Compared with control group,ulcer index(UI)was significantly decreased in high dose hydrotalcite group(P < 0. 05). Thickness of restored mucosa was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),number of cystically dilated gland was significantly decreased(P < 0. 01),microvessel density(MVD),collagen fiber,secretion of mucus,level of hexosamine,expressions of EGF,EGR receptor(EGFR)and PGE2 ,serum levels of EGF and PGE2 were significantly increased in low and high hydrotalcite groups( P < 0. 05,P < 0. 01). Conclusions:Hydrotalcite could obviously improve the histological and functional maturity of regenerative mucosa,as well as the quality of ulcer healing. The mechanism might be related to the neutralization of gastric acid,enhancement of mucus-HCO3 - barrier and up-regulation of expressions of EGF and PGE2 .

Objective To analyze the colistin heteroresistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains and their in vitro susceptibility to antibiotics used in combination.Methods Two hundred and ninety-seven carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were selected for this study.Broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of colistin and other antimicrobials against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains.The colistin heterogeneity of 20 colistin sensitive strains was analyzed by using population analysis profiles.The time-kill curves of 3 randomly selected colistin heteroresistant strains were used to determine the bacteriostatic activity of colistin.Chequer-board method was used to measure the combination efficacy of colistin with other antimicrobials including imipenem,meropenem,biapenem,ceftazidime,levofloxcin,piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam.Results The colistin sensitive Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains accounted for 99.66％ of the 297 isolates.Population analysis profiles displayed that 35％ of the 20 isolates were colistin heteroresistant and 20％ of the 20 isolates were heterogeneous.It showed that when colistin was used in combination with other drugs,they mainly had synergistic and additive effects on heteroresistant isolates,but additive and indifferent effects on non-heterogeneous isolates.Conclusion Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were highly susceptible to colistin,but heteroresistant and heterogeneous strains were common.The efficacy of colistin against heteroresistant isolates could be enhanced by using in combination with other drugs.
