Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Qingruxiao granules combined with tamoxifen in the treatment of breast hyperplasia and its effect on serum hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-α), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and prolactin (PRL) levels. Methods:Ninety-eight patients with breast hyperplasia admitted to Xi'an No.3 Hospital from June 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. They were divided into control and observation groups ( n = 49/group) according to different treatments. The control group was treated with tamoxifen alone. The observation group was treated with Qingruxiao granules combined with tamoxifen. Clinical efficacy, symptom score, ultrasound parameters (glandular layer thickness, longest diameter of mass, maximum diameter of hypoechoic area, inner diameter of lactating tube), endocrine hormone levels (estradiol, progesterone, and prolactin), HIF-α, and Ang-2 pre- and post-treatment, as well as the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [93.88% (4/49) vs. 77.55%, χ2 = 5.33, P < 0.05). After treatment, breast mass score, breast pain, systemic accompanying symptom, and nipple discharge in the observation group were (1.34 ± 0.29) points, (1.02 ± 0.36) points, (0.68 ± 0.17) points, (0.97 ± 0.15) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (1.57 ± 0.23) points, (1.45 ± 0.41) points, (0.95 ± 0.26) points, and (1.28 ± 0.26) points, respectively, in the control group ( t = 4.35, 5.52, 6.08, 7.23, all P < 0.001). The glandular layer thickness, the longest diameter of mass, the maximum diameter of hypoechoic area, and the inner diameter of lactating duct in the observation group were (9.45 ± 1.67) mm, (11.46 ± 3.68) mm, (14.37 ± 4.22) mm, and (1.23 ± 0.39) mm, respectively, which were significantly lower than (11.26 ± 2.51) mm, (16.33 ± 4.01) mm, (19.87 ± 5.01) mm, (1.54 ± 0.48) mm in the control group ( t = 4.20, 2.26, 5.88, 3.51, all P < 0.001). Serum estradiol and prolactin levels in the observation group were (122.35 ± 29.76) ng/L and (205.64 ± 36.42) IU/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (139.76 ± 30.48) ng/L and (251.49 ± 41.87) IU/L in the control group ( t = 2.86, 5.78, both P < 0.05). Serum progesterone level in the observation group was (9.22 ± 1.57) μg/L, which was significantly higher than (7.18 ± 1.21) μg/L in the control group ( t = -7.20, P < 0.05). Serum HIF-α and Ang-2 levels in the observation group were (0.15 ± 0.05) ng/L and (0.98 ± 0.11) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (0.24 ± 0.07) ng/L and (1.49 ± 0.22) ng/L in the control group ( t = 7.32, 14.51, both P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Qingruxiao granules combined with tamoxifen can effectively improve clinical symptoms, reduce tumor size, regulate endocrine hormone levels, decrease the expression of angiogenic factors in patients with breast hyperplasia, and is highly safe.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-control between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination in medical undergraduates.Methods:A total of 640 medical college undergraduates were selected by convenient sampling method. The self-designed general information questionnaire, smartphone addiction proneness scale (SAPS), brief self-control scale (BSCS) and procrastination assessment scale-students (PASS) were conducted among the students. SPSS 25.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Correlation analysis showed that PASS scores were positively correlated with SAPS scores ( r=0.29, P<0.01), and negatively corrected with BSCS scores ( r=-0.26, P<0.01); the SAPS scores were negatively corrected with BSCS scores ( r=-0.33, P<0.01). Mediating effect analysis showed that the mediating role of self-control between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination were significant (effect size=0.13, 95%CI=0.03-0.26), and the mediating effect accounted for 38.24%. Conclusion:Self-control played partial mediating effect between smartphone addiction and academic procrastination in medical undergraduates. In order to improve the current situation of medical undergraduate's academic procrastination, medical college educators can intervene from the perspective of smartphone addiction and self-control.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of modified laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (L-ELAPE) for ultralow rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 60 patients with ultralow rectal cancer who underwent L-ELAPE in the Tangdu Hospital Affiliated to the Air Force Medical University from January 2014 to July 2018 were collected. There were 32 males and 28 females, aged (58±12)years, with a range from 38 to 75 years. Of the 60 patients, 30 patients undergoing modified L-ELAPE were allocated into modified group and 30 patients undergoing traditional L-ELAPE were allocated into control group. For patients in the modified group, the abdominal procedure is the same as the traditional L-ELAPE. The improvements were as follows: (1) when tumor was located in the anterior rectal wall, the patient was plased into the jackknife position before starting the perineal procedure. (2) In order to prevent the small intestine from falling into the presacral space after surgery, the pelvic floor peritoneum was closed under laparoscopy and the biological patch was placed if necessary. For patients in the control group, the whole procedure was performed in the lithotomy position and the biological patch was sutured at the levator ani muscle. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examinations and pelvic computed tomography (CT) examination at 3 months after surgery to assess the small intestine falling into the presacral space up to January 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact probability. Results:(1) Surgical situations: patients in the two groups completed surgeries successfully, without tranversion to laparostomy or death within 1 month after operation. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of lymph node harvested, quality score of the whole group specimens, quality score of anterior wall tumor specimens were (359±105)minutes, (192±99)mL, 17±6, 4.1±0.8, 4.7±0.5 for the modified group, respectively, versus (268±37)minutes, (136±61)mL, 15±5, 3.5±0.7, 3.9±0.7 for the control group, respectively. There were significant differences in the operation time, the quality score of the whole group specimens and the quality score of anterior wall tumor specimens between the two groups ( t=2.613, 2.130, 2.871, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the volume of intraoperative blood loss or the number of lymph node harvested between the two groups ( t=1.521, 0.864, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: the time to first liquid food intake, time to urinary catheter removal, the level of C-reactive protein at the first postoperative day, duration of postoperative hospital stay and cases with perineal complications were (3.3±1.1)days, (8.7±4.8)days, (85±27)mg/L, (8.5±4.5)days and 4 for the modified group, respectively, versus (2.7±1.4)days, (7.7±2.8)days, (79±25)mg/L, (7.7±2.2)days and 5 for the control group. There was no significant difference in the time to first liquid food intake, time to urinary catheter removal, the level of C-reactive protein at the first postoperative day, duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( t=1.311, 1.520, 0.521, 0.509, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the perineal complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients with perineal complications were cured after drainage, wound management, nutritional support and extention of hospital stay. (3) Follow-up: all patients were followed up after surgery. The modified group and the control group had 2 cases and 19 cases of small intestine falling into the presacral space showed by the pelvic CT examination at the postoperative 3 months, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=21.172, P<0.05). Conclusions:Modified L-ELAPE is safe and feasible for the ultralow rectal cancer, which can provide a better exposure and specimen quality for the tumor located at anterior rectal wall and reduce the incidence of small intestine falling into the presacral space. However, it has longer operation time.

Objective To study the effect of Qige San ethyl acetate extract on the proliferation of human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Inhibitory effects of Qige San ethyl acetate extract on the proliferation of esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells were detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometer, and the expression of protein STAT3, Bcl-2 and Caspase 9 was detected by Western blotting method. Results In the range of 10~100 μg/mL, Qige San ethyl acetate extract inhibited the proliferation of Eca109 cells effectively (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, Qige San ethyl acetate extract in the concentrations of 1.47, 33.26, 75.52 μg/mL significantly increased the apoptotic rate of Eca109 cells within 48h ( P<0.01). And Western blotting results showed that the ex pression levels of STAT3 and Bcl-2 were reduced, and Caspase 9 was increased with the increase of drug concentration. Conclusion Qige San ethyl acetate extract could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Eca109 cells and induce cell apoptosis, and its mechanism is probably associated with the inhibition of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.

Objective To establish animal models of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and discuss the early functional MRI findings.Methods Twenty-five adult white rabbits were divided into control group (n =5),mild DAI group and severe DAI group (n =6) according to random number.Mild DAI group was subdivided into mild DAI 3 h (n =6),1 day (n =4) and 1 week (n =4) groups.Routine MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were performed.Parameters measured were fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),axial diffusivity (AD) and radical diffusivity (RD).Results Significantly increased FA (P＜0.01) and decreased ADC (P＜0.05) and RD (P＜0.01) were detected in severe DAI group compared to control group,but there was no significant variation in AD between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Each parameter remained almost unchanged in mild DAI 3 h group and mild DAI 1 week group,but FA was increased (P ＜ 0.01) and RD decreased (P ＜ 0.05) in mild DAI 1 day group,with no changes of ADC and AD.Conclusion DTI is a sensitive way to detect the occurrence and development of DAI and can provide referential images for early DAI diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells and to explore the potential mechanism involved.MethodsHuman gastric cancer cell lines SGC-7901 and MGC-803 were treated with EPA at 10,20,40 μg/ml for 24-72 hours.The inhibition of cell proliferation was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay.The apoptosis and the distribution of cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry.Mitochondria membrane potential was determined with a fluorescence probe rhodamine 123.Cellular distribution of cytochrome C was quantitatively detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Caspase-3 activity was measured with spectrofluorometry.ResultsAfter incubation with 10-40 μg/ml EPAfor 24-72 hours,the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells was markedly inhibited in a time-dependent manner.The treatment of 40 g/ml EPA for 72 hours increased the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells in both SGC-7901 and MGC-803 (P=0.006,P=0.009).In SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells incubated with 40 μg/ml EPA for 24 hours,mitochondria membrane potential decreased significantly (P =0.001,P =0.047 ); cytochrome C level significantly declined in mitochondria (P=0.001,P=0.000) but increased in cytosol (P =0.001,P=0.000).In SGC-7901 cells,the apoptotic effector caspase-3 activity increased time-dependently along with incubation with 40 g/ml EPA.ConclusionEPA could inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells through inducing cell cycle arrest and activating intrinsic death pathway mediated by mitochondria.

Objective To investigate whether simple visual assessment of FVERVOT(the right ventricular outflow tract Doppler flow velocity envelop) graphs aids in hemodynamic differentiation. Method The hemodynamics, echocardiography, and clinical data of 88 patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) were reviewed. The FVERVOTgraphs were categorized into normal pattern (no notch; NN), late systolic notch pattern (LSN) or mid-systolic notch pattern (MSN). Results The pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was highest in the MSN pattern (9.2±3.5 WU; P＜0. 001), in comparison with LSN (5,7 ±3. 1 WU) and NN (3.3±2.4 WU) patterns. The ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure (compliance) also varied with different patterns of FVERVOr graph (MSN = 1.2 ± 0. 5; LSN = 1.7 ± 0.8; NN = 2.6 ± 1. 7, P = 0.001 and 0.04 respectively compared with NN). The specificity and sensitivity of MSN were 96% and 71%, respectively in case of a PVR ＞ 5 WU (PPV 98%). In the patients with PH, any notching pattern of FVERVOT graph was highly associated with PVR ＞ 3 WU (OR = 22.3, 95 % CI: 5.2 ～ 96.4), whereas the NN pattern predicted a PVR ≤3 WU and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ＞ 15 mmHg (OR =30.2, 95%CI: 6.3 ～ 144.9). Conclusions Visual inspection of the shape of the FVERVOT graphs provides insight into the hemodynamic status of patients with PH.
