Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with nonorganic dyspnea between 2005 and 2009 in the emergency department of our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the 32 patients had psychogenic incentives before onset of the disease, such as mental injury, over-exhaustion, nervousness or emergency. All of them had typical clinical manifestations. The results of hyperventilation provocation test were positive. Arterial blood gas analysis implied respiratory alkalosis. Eighteen of them (56.2%) had a mark ≤23 on the Nijmegen questionnaire. Auxiliary examinations showed no other primary diseases. Conclusions With the increase of emotional stress in the modern society, the number of patients with nonorganic dyspnea have markedly increased. Clinicians should strengthen the awareness of social psychology-physiological diseases, and improve diagnostic accuracy, which will have an obvious clinical value in relieving patients’ mental stress and avoiding excessive medical treatment.
Objective To investigate the effect of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) on oxidative stress and alveolar septal cell apoptosis in mice with emphysema after smoking cessation. Methods Twenty-two male SPF C57BL/6J mice aged 6 - 8 weeks were randomly divided into 4 groups, ie. a healthy control group, an emphysema group, a smoking cessation group, and a SAM intervention for 8 weeks after smoking cessation group, with 8 mice in each group. The mice model of emphysema was established by intraperitoneal injection of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) combined with cigarette smoke exposure. Smoking cessation started after the emphysema model was successfully constructed and lasted for 8 weeks. After smoking cessation, the mice in SAM intervention groups were intraperitoneally injected with SAM mg·kg–1·d–1 for 8 weeks. The right lung sections of the mice were taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe pathological changes, and the mean linea rintercept (MLI) and mean alveola rnumber (MAN) of lungs were measured. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide-dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in alveolar lavage fluid of left lung were detected by spectrophotometry. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique was carried out to detect the alveolar septal cells apoptosis. Results MLI, apoptosis index of alveolar septal cell and MDA concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) increased significantly in the emphysema group compared with healthy controls, increased significantly in the smoking cessation group compared with the emphysema group, and decreased in the SAM intervention group compared with the smoking cessation group (all P<0.05). GSH concentration and SOD activity in BALF and MAN was significantly lower in the emphysema group compared with the healthy control group, significantly lower in the smoking cessation group compared with the emphysema group, and significantly higher in the SAM intervention group compared with the smoking cessation group (all P<0.05). Conclusions Lung histopathology and apoptosis of alveolar septal cells in emphysema mice progress continuously after smoking cessation. SAM may reduce oxidative stress and improve apoptosis of alveolar septal cells, so as to protect emphysema mice after smoking cessation.
Objective To evaluate the association between the Thr241Met polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene and the risk of lung cancer in Chinese population by meta-analysis. Methods Databases including PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to identify domestic and foreign case-control studies concerning the association between Thr241Met polymorphism in XRCC3 gene and the risk of lung cancer in Chinese population from the inception to August 20th, 2013. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed quality. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software and Stata 10.0 software. Results A total of 5 case-control studies involved 2 999 lung cancer cases and 2 994 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, Chinese population who carry the variant genotype or allele had no increased risk of lung cancer: Met/Met vs. Thr/Thr: OR=1.00, 95%CI (0.38, 2.59), P=0.99; Met/Met vs. Thr/Met: OR=1.06, 95%CI (0.83, 1.36), P=0.63; Met/Met vs. Thr/Met+Thr/Thr: OR=0.99, 95%CI (0.38, 2.57), P=0.98; Thr/Met+Met/Met vs. Thr/Thr: OR=1.06, 95%CI (0.82, 1.37), P=0.65; Met vs. Thr: OR=1.05, 95%CI (0.82, 1.35), P=0.68. Conclusion Currently, Thr241Met polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene is not found to be associated with the risk of lung cancer in Chinese population. Considering the limited quality of the included case-control studies, more high quality studies with large sample size are needed to verify the above conclusion.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed the database of prehospital cases in Zigong emergency rescue center in 2009, and reviewed the prehospital disease spectrum, gender composition, age structure, the circadian and seasonal distribution, and the outcomes of these cases. Results A total of 4 588 prehospital victims in Zigong emergency rescue center were enrolled. In the study, six leading diseases were injury, poisoning and certain other consequences due to external causes (45.6%), diseases of the circulatory system (15.0%), diseases of the respiratory system (6.3%), diseases of the nervous system (6.0%), mental and behavioral disorders (5.6%), and diseases of the digestive system (4.9%). Male patients were more than female patients (Plt;0.05). The proportion of the aged and the middle-aged was significantly larger than that of young population in the same districts (Plt;0.05), and the occurrence of prehospital care usually peaked at 15:40 (Plt;0.05). Prehospital care had a higher incidence in winter (Plt;0.05), and the outcome of prehospital cases was mainly in hospital and in observation ward. The proportion of deaths was 3.8%. Conclusion We can allocate emergency resources reasonably in prehospital care, and promote the ability of rescuing in order to meet people′s medical demands on the basis of the epidemiological study in our city.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for pain is usually implanted as an open loop system using unchanged parameters. To avoid the under and over stimulation caused by lead migration, evoked compound action potentials (ECAP) is used as feedback signal to change the stimulating parameters. This study established a simulation model of ECAP recording to investigate the relationship between ECAP component and dorsal column (DC) fiber recruitment. Finite element model of SCS and multi-compartment model of sensory fiber were coupled to calculate the single fiber action potential (SFAP) caused by single fiber in different spinal cord regions. The synthetized ECAP, superimposition of SFAP, could be considered as an index of DC fiber excitation degree, because the position of crests and amplitude of ECAP corresponds to different fiber diameters. When 10% or less DC fibers were excited, the crests corresponded to fibers with large diameters. When 20% or more DC fibers were excited, ECAP showed a slow conduction crest, which corresponded to fibers with small diameters. The amplitude of this slow conduction crest increased as the stimulating intensity increased while the amplitude of the fast conduction crest almost remained unchanged. Therefore, the simulated ECAP signal in this paper could be used to evaluate the degree of excitation of DC fibers. This SCS-ECAP model may provide theoretical basis for future clinical application of close loop SCS base on ECAP.
Breast cancer is a malignancy caused by the abnormal proliferation of breast epithelial cells, predominantly affecting female patients, and it is commonly diagnosed using histopathological images. Currently, deep learning techniques have made significant breakthroughs in medical image processing, outperforming traditional detection methods in breast cancer pathology classification tasks. This paper first reviewed the advances in applying deep learning to breast pathology images, focusing on three key areas: multi-scale feature extraction, cellular feature analysis, and classification. Next, it summarized the advantages of multimodal data fusion methods for breast pathology images. Finally, the study discussed the challenges and future prospects of deep learning in breast cancer pathology image diagnosis, providing important guidance for advancing the use of deep learning in breast diagnosis.
Objective To investigate the relatingship between leptin receptor gene Gln223Arg polymorphism and obstructive sleep apnea hyponea syndrome (OSAHS) in Han population in Southwest China. Methods Two hundred and fifteen cases of subjects (including 116 cases in OSAHS group and 99 cases in control group) were selected in Han population in Southwest China. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to analyse Gln223Arg leptin receptor gene polymorphism. The levels of serum LEP and TI were determined by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Simultaneous determination of body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference (NC) and waist circumference (WC) were conducted. Results In the OSAHS group, the leptin receptor gene polymorphism Gln223Arg GG, AA and GA genotype frequency was 0.854, 0.017 and 0.129, respectively. G allele and A allele frequency frequency was 0.918 and 0.082, respectively. In the control group, leptin receptor gene polymorphisms Gln223Arg GG, AA and GA genotype frequency was 0.840, 0.020 and 0.14,respectively. G allele and A allele frequency was 0.90 and 0.10, respectively. Genotype frequencies of the two groups were not statistically significant (χ2=0.784, P>0.05). There were differences in BMI, WC and NC between the OSAHS patients with GG and the OSAHS patients with (GA+AA) genotype (P<0.05), but no difference was found in LEP and TI levels (allP>0.05). In control, mild, moderate and severe OSAHS group, the levels of serum LEP and TI were increased gradually, and the difference was statistically significant (allP<0.05). Conclusions Gln223Arg leptin receptor genotype polymorphisms may be involved in obesity, but they have no relationship with the incidence of OSAHS in Han population in Southwest China. In OSAHS patients, Gln223Arg polymorphism has no relationship with LEP or TI. Patients with OSAHS have hyperleptinemia and hyperinsulinemia.
Bioartificial liver support system (BALSS) provides a new way to treat liver failure and leaves more time for patients who are waiting for liver transplantation. It has detoxification function as well as the human liver, at the same time it can provide nutrition and improve the internal environment inside human body. Bioreactors and hepatocytes with good biological activity are the cores of BALSS which determine the treatment effect. However, in the course of prolonged treatment, the function and activity of hepatocytes might be greatly changed which could influence the efficacy. Therefore, it is very important to detect the status of the hepatocytes in BALSS. This paper presents some common indicators of cell activity, detoxification and synthetic functions, and also introduces the commonly detection methods corresponding to each indicator. Finally, we summarize the application of detection methods of the hepatocyte status in BALSS and discuss its development trend.
Objective To investigate the effects of one-lung ventilation time on the concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), serum inflammatory markers and early pulmonary infection after radical resection of esophageal cancer. Methods Ninety patients with thoracoscope and laparoscopic radical resection of esophageal carcinoma were chosen. According to the thoracoscope operation time, the patients were divided into 3 groups including a T1 (0.5–1.5 hours) group, a T2 (1.5–2.5 hours) group and a T3 (>2.5 hours) group. Immediately after the operation, the ventilated and collapsed BALF were taken. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to determine the concentration of IL-6 and tumour necrosis TNF-α. The concentrations of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell (WBC) were measured on the first, third, fifth day after operation. The incidence of pulmonary infection was observed within 3 days after operation. Result The IL-6 values of the right collapsed lung in all groups were higher than those in the left ventilated lung. The TNF-α value of the right collapsed lung in the T2 group and T3 group was higher than that in the left ventilated lung (P<0.05). Compared with in the right collapsed lung, the TNF-α and IL-6 values gradually increased with the the duration of one-lung ventilation (P<0.05). Compared with the left ventilated lung groups, the IL-6 value increased gradually with the duration of one-lung ventilation time (P<0.05). The TNF-α value of the T3 group was higher than that of the T1 and T2 groups (P<0.05). The PCT value of the T3 group was higher than that of the T1 group and T2 group on the third, fifth day after operation (P<0.05). But there was no significant difference in CRP and WBC among the three groups at different time points. The incidence of pulmonary infection in the T3 group was significantly higher than that in the T1 group within 3 days after operation (P<0.05). Conclusion With the extension of one-lung ventilation time, the release of local and systemic inflammatory mediators is increased, and the probability of pulmonary infection is higher.
Objective To investigate factors for surgical difficulty and complications following closure of temporary ileostomy for rectal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 103 patients with low rectal cancer treated with closure of temporary ileostomy from January 2014 to July 2017 in the Northern Theater Command General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The associated factors of surgical difficulty and postoperative complications were identified by the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results In this study, there were 11 (10.7%) patients with surgical difficulty (operation time >100 min) in the 103 patients. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the history of previous abdominal surgery ［OR=5.272, 95% CI (1.325, 20.977), P=0.018］ and minimally invasive surgery ［OR=0.166, 95% CI (0.037, 0.758), P=0.020］ were the independent influencing factors of the difficulty of surgery. The complications following closure of temporary ileostomy included 16 (15.5%) patients with the incision infection, 5 (4.9%) patients with the intestinal obstruction, and 3 patients with the pulmonary infection (2.9%). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the diabetes ［OR=4.855, 95% CI (1.133, 20.804), P=0.033］, operation time >100 min ［OR=11.914, 95% CI (2.247, 63.171), P=0.004］, and peristomal dermatitis ［OR=18.814, 95% CI (3.978, 88.988), P<0.001］ were the independent influencing factors for the incision infection. Conclusions History of previous abdominal surgery is main cause for difficulty of surgery and minimally invasive surgery can reduce difficulty of surgery. Diabetes mellitus, longer operation time, and peristomal dermatitis are main causes of postoperative incision infection.
