Objective:To explore the differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes between patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence, and to find the independent risk factors of relapse.Methods:Alcohol-dependent male patients attending the Addiction Medicine Center of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected for the study and divided into type A alcohol-dependent group ( n=77) and type B alcohol-dependent group ( n=87). All patients were given acute detoxification treatment and were followed up after treatment on relapse to drinking. Differences in demographic and clinical data were compared between the two groups, and differences in treatment outcomes between the two groups at different time points over 3 months were compared. Patients were divided into relapse group and non-relapse group according to whether they drank again after 3 months. Logistic regression model was established to screen the risk factors of relapse of alcohol-dependent patients by SPSS 25.0 software. Results:There was no significant difference between the two types of patients in years of education, marital status, smoking status and working status(all P>0.05), but the proportion of co-residents( χ2=5.69, P=0.017) and the proportion of positive family history of alcoholism were significant difference between the two type of patients( χ2=13.32, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences between the two types of patients in the onset time( t=-7.28, P<0.001), the first drinking age( t=-2.36, P=0.020), the proportion of drinking in the morning( χ2=7.83, P=0.005), psychotic symptoms( χ2=4.31, P=0.038), convulsions after withdrawal( χ2=5.30, P=0.021), and alcohol use disorder identification test(AUDIT) score( t=4.30, P<0.001). At the 4th and 8th weekend of the follow-up, there were statistically significant differences in drinking frequency(0(0, 3), 0(0, 0), Z=-4.13, P<0.001; 3(0, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-4.42, P<0.001) and relapse rate (40(45.98%), 9(11.69%), χ2=22.92, P<0.001; 61(70.11%), 24(31.17%), χ2=24.82, P<0.001) between the two types of alcohol dependence patients after drinking again. After 12-week follow-up, there were statistically significant differences between the two types of alcohol-dependent patients in the interval of first drinking(20(7, 30)d, 88(38, 90)d, Z=-7.83, P<0.001), the cumulative duration of abstinence(4(0, 8)weeks, 12(4, 12)weeks, Z=-5.13, P<0.001), the cumulative rate of abstinence(71(81.60%), 25(32.47%), χ2=40.62, P<0.001), the frequency of drinking after abstinence(3(3, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-5.54, P<0.001), and the reduction of daily average alcohol consumption( t=3.36, P<0.001). Logistic regression model showed that type B alcohol dependence ( OR=3.121, P=0.03, 95% CI: 1.12-8.72) and AUDIT score ( OR=1.498, P<0.01, 95% CI: 1.29-1.74) were the risk factors for relapse of alcohol-dependent patients. Conclusions:Patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence have obvious differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes, and type B alcohol dependence is independent risk factor for relapse to drinking in alcohol-dependent patients, which validate the rationality and necessity of alcohol dependence subtypes.

Objective:To construct the "Internet +" peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) home nursing service quality evaluation index system, so as to provide objective basis for standardizing the "Internet +" PICC home nursing service quality evaluation.Methods:Based on the three-dimensional quality structure model of "structure-process-outcome", combined with literature research, semi-structured interviews, group discussions and Delphi method, 20 experts who were engaged in intravenous therapy nursing and had management or practical experience in "Internet + nursing services" were selected for two rounds of consultation to determine the "Internet?+" PICC home nursing service quality evaluation index system. The positive coefficient of experts was expressed by the effective response rate of the questionnaire and the rate of expert opinion submission. The degree of expert authority was expressed by the expert authority coefficient. The coordination degree of expert opinions was represented by the Kendall harmony coefficient. The concentration degree of expert opinions was usually expressed in terms of the importance assigned to the indicator, the coefficient of variation, and the full score rate (%) .Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of consultation questionnaires were all 100%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.793 and 0.848 respectively. The Kendall coordination coefficients of expert opinions were 0.202-0.216 and 0.222-0.270 respectively ( P<0.05). After the second round of expert consultation, the mean importance assigned to all indicators was greater than 4.0, the coefficient of variation was less than 0.2, and the full score rate was greater than 20%. The final "Internet +"PICC home nursing service quality evaluation index system included 3 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators and 64 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The "Internet + " PICC home nursing service quality evaluation index system constructed is scientific, reliable and practical, and reflects the specialty characteristics. It can effectively evaluate the "Internet + " PICC home nursing service quality and provide guidance for continuous improvement.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of classification and grading of ovarian serous tumors (OST) and the correlation of classification and grading with expressions of p53 and Ki-67 proteins, so as to provide a basis for accurate diagnosis and reasonable treatment of OST.Methods:A total of 100 paraffin-embedded ovarian tissues were collected from Haikou Affiliated Hospital of Central South University Xiangya School of Medicine from January 2012 to November 2017. The classification and grading of OST was based on the World Health Organization (WHO) ovarian tumor tissue classification, the work conference on borderline ovarian tumors which was held in August 2013 in Maryland, United States, and the two-level tissue classification system of the United States MD Anderson Cancer Center. The 100 cases of ovarian tissues included 10 cases of normal ovarian tissues (NOT), 12 cases of ovarian serous cystadenoma (OSA), 18 cases of ovarian serous borderline tumor (OSBT), 22 cases of low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC), and 38 cases of high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The expressions of p53 and Ki-67 proteins in paraffin-embedded tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The clinical characteristics of patients with different types of OST and their relationships with the expression of p53 protein and Ki-67 positive index were analyzed.Results:Among OSBT, LGSC and HGSC groups, the proportion of patients with onset age > 50 years old [38.9% (7/18), 45.5% (10/22), 73.7% (28/38)], poor differentiation [0 (0/18), 0 (0/22), 100.0% (38/38)], stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ [5.6% (1/18), 27.3% (6/22), 39.5% (15/38)] increased sequentially, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Among NOT, OSA, OSBT, LGSC and HGSC groups, there were significant differences in the positive rate of p53 protein [20.0% (2/10), 25.0% (3/12), 27.8% (5/18), 31.8% (7/22), 57.9% (22/38)] and Ki-67 positive index [(10.40±0.00)%, (31.49±6.53)%, (42.81±6.84)%, (74.29±6.54)%, (77.04±8.88)%] (all P < 0.05). In the patients with ovarian serous carcinoma (LGSC + HGSC), there was no significant difference in the positive rate of p53 protein and Ki-67 positive index between the onset age ≤ 50 years old and > 50 years old groups (both P > 0.05), but there were significant differences between the patients with different tissue differentiation grade, clinical stage and metastasis (all P < 0.05). There was significant difference in Ki-67 positive index among NOT, OSA, OSBT, LGSC and HGSC patients with positive expression of p53 protein ( P < 0.01). Conclusions:The classification and grading of OST is related to onset age, tissue differentiation and clinical stage, which can be used to guide treatment and judge prognosis. The positive rate of p53 protein and Ki-67 positive index increase with advancing grade of breast lesions, which may be related to the occurrence and development of OST.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the application value of mapping allele with resolved carrier status (MaReCs) technique for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).
METHODS:
The characteristics of MaReCs for PGT and outcome of patients were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS:
Compared with those who could not use the technique, carriers who have used the MaReCs technique were younger, had significantly higher level of anti-Mullerian hormone, more antral follicles, occytes, mature occytes, biopsied embryos and euploid embryos, and lower risks for de novo chromosomal abnormality (P<0.05). It was necessary for couples with fewer oocytes, mature oocytes and balstocyst to preserve discarded embryos to facilitate the test. Carriers who have used the MaReCs technique had higher clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rate compared with those undergoing routine PGT, albeit no significant difference was found between the two groups (P> 0.05). Carriers undergoing MaReCs test could preferentially select embryos with normal chromosome structures for the transfer.
CONCLUSION
Application of MaReCs has a prerequisite for having a minimum number of occytes and biopsied embryos and using discarded embryos sometimes. MaReCs is efficient for the detection of carrier status of embryos and attaining higher rate of pregnancy and live birth, which can significantly improve the outcome for couples carrying chromosomal translocations.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-495 and its effect on MHCC-97H hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods:Fifty-six hepatocellular carcinoma tissue specimens (HCC group) and 40 normal liver tissue specimens (control group) preserved in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were selected. Reverse transcription real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used for miR-495 expression detection. MHCC-97H HCC cells were randomly selected and then divide into control group, blank plasmid group and transfection group. The blank plasmid group was transfected with blank plasmid, and the transfection group was transfected with miR-495 inhibitor. The expression of miR-495 in each group of cells were detected using qRT-PCR. CCK method was used to detect each group proliferation activity. Transwell cell migration assay was used to detect each group migration ability. Analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups. Furthermore, LDS-t test was used for pairwise comparison, and t -test was used for comparison between the two groups.Results:The relative expression levels of miR-495 in the HCC group was (2.043 ± 0.382), which was higher than the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The relative expressions levels of miR-495 in patients with stage III to IV and lymph node metastasis were 2.265 ± 0.284 and 2.290 ± 0.355, which were significantly higher than those of stage I to II and no lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.05). The relative expression levels of miR-495 in transfection group was 0.653 ± 0.102, which were significantly lower than control group and blank plasmid group ( P < 0.05). The A values of MHCC-97H cells cultured for 24 h and 48 h in transfection group were 0.404 ± 0.106 and 0.604 ± 0.136, which were significantly lower than control group and blank plasmid group ( P < 0.05). MHCC-97H cells migration number in the transfection group was (6.10 0 ± 20), which was significantly lower than that of control group and blank plasmid group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:miR-495 high expression has certain relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of HCC tissues. In addition, miR-495 has a certain effect on the proliferation and migration ability of MHCC-97H HCC cells.

Objective:To investigate whether ginkgo biloba extract(EGb) can improve the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia(TD) by increasing the levels of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and to explore whether the BDNF Val66Met genotype can influence the efficacy of TD by EGb.Methods:A total of 78 male schizophrenia inpatients with TD were enrolled, and 77 patients completed 12 weeks of treatment with EGb(240 mg/d). The abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS), positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and serum BDNF levels were measured at before and after 12 weeks of treatment.Serum BDNF levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa). In addition, the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism was genotyped by the method of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in all patients.Results:Compared with before treatment, the scores of total AIMS((7.0±2.9) vs (4.9±2.2)), total PANSS ((55.8±14.0) vs(51.1±9.7)), subscale P((9.6±3.3) vs (8.6±2.2)), subscale N((23.2±8.3) vs (21.4±6.3)) and subscale G((23.0±4.9) vs (21.1±2.7)) were significantly decreased( P<0.01), while the levels of BDNF were significantly increased((10.8±2.9)μg/L vs (9.6±3.3)μg/L, P<0.05) in TD patients after treatment.The increased level of BDNF was positively correlated with the decrease of AIMS( r=0.28, P=0.014), but no significantly correlated with the improvement of PANSS total scores and the three subscales were found(all P>0.05). After treatment, the decrease of AIMS in patients with Val/Val genotype was significantly greater than that in patients with Val allele (Met/Val plus Met/Met genotype) (both P<0.05). Further analysis showed that only patients with Val/Met heterozygotes had a significant increase in BDNF levels after treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusions:EGb may improve TD symptoms through neuroprotective and regulatory effects.The BDNF genotype is involved in regulating the efficacy of EGb in the treatment of TD, which may be related to its regulation of BDNF serum levels.
