ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and trends of notifiable infectious diseases in Yangpu District of Shanghai， from 1950 to 2020， and to provide scientific basis for the formulation of control measures. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological method was used to collect and analyze the epidemiological data of notifiable infectious diseases. ResultsA total of 1 186 675 cases from 38 types of infectious diseases were reported. The annual morbidity of Class A and Class B infectious diseases fluctuated between 138.22/105 and 7 861.45/105， showing a decreasing trend. Among the 3 785 cases of death， the top five were measles， viral hepatitis， dysentery， tuberculosis and epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. The high incidence diseases were intestinal infectious diseases， and the respiratory infectious diseases fluctuated in a wide range. Furthermore， blood-borne infectious diseases and sexual -transmitted diseases had continued to increase in recent years. As the result of normative vaccination， the incidence of associated infectious disease showed a downward trend. ConclusionThe incidence of infectious diseases in Yangpu District was on the drop from 1950 to 2020. Prevention and control work should focus on respiratory infectious diseases， blood-borne infectious diseases and sexual -transmitted diseases in the future. Furthermore， it is important to guarantee normative vaccination， especially， for prevention and control of infectious diseases.
ABSTRACT
With the development of modern computing technology and medical physics,radiotherapy has made great progress.The theoretical basis of radiobiology seems to lag behind the clinical application of radiotherapy,which hampers the further improvement of treatment efficacy and the optimization of treatment modality.In this paper,some emerging challenges of precision radiotherapy technology to the traditional theory of radiobiology,such as radiosensitivity,dose-response curve and survival curve,linear-quadratic model,4Rs theory,as well as the interaction between cancer and microenvironment,radiation-induced second primary cancers (RISPC),will be discussed.The interplay between precision radiotherapy and traditional radiobiology theories will be addressed with the aim to potentially solve some of the challenging problems.

ABSTRACT
Warfarin is widely used as an oral anticoagulant in clinic in China. It has narrow therapeutic index, large individual differences on dosage and the variability in warfarin dosage depends on many factors, including gene polymorphism, age, diet habits and so on. For clinicians, how to optimize the individual therapeutic regimen of warfarin is becoming a significant part of their work. In recent years, studies on genetic pharmacogenomics of warfarin are reported frequently. It is found that multiple gene polymorphisms can affect the efficacy of warfarin. We will introduce the gene polymorphism of some warfarin related genes and their effects on warfarin, and the advances of warfarin individual therapeutic regimen will also be discussed here.

ABSTRACT
Objective To elucidate the related risk factors for the cardiorenal syndrome(CRS),and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of CRS. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 269 patients with chronic heart failure. The subjects were divided into two groups in accordance with estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR):patient group(CRS group),eGRF0.05)between the two groups in regard to white blood cell count,glutamic-pyruvic transaminase,glutamic oxalacetic transaminase,cholesterol,triglycerides,high density lipoprotein,low density lipoprotein,troponin I,serum free triiodothyronine,serum free thyroxine,or thyroid stimulating hormone. Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis showed that older age,low body weight,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,hypoalbuminemia,superb sensitivity C-re-active protein levels,high uric acid,high cystatin C hyperlipidemia,and low ejection fraction were independently associated with the occurrence of CRS. Conclusion Older age,low body weight,history of hypertension,history of diabetes,hypoalbuminemia,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels,high uric acid,high cystatin C hyperlipidemia,and low ejection fraction are the high risk factors for CRS in heart failure patients and are inde-pendently associated with the occurrence of CRS. Early identification and control of these risk factors are important for the prevention and treatment of CRS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy,safety and the correlation factors of recurrence of radiofrequency catheter ablation in treatment of atrial fibrillation.Methods The clinical data of 127 patients with atrial fibrillation having underwent circumferential pulmonary vein ablation guided by 3-D mapping system were analyzed retrospectively.Then they were followed up for 12 months.The status of patients after ablation and the success rate of ablation was recorded,then the relationship between the factors and the recurrence after ablation of atrial fibrillation was analyzed.Results After a follow up of 12 months,94 patients maintained sinus rhythm,and atrial fibrillation recurred in 33 cases.The first clinical success rate was 74.02％(94/127).Thirty-three patients with recurred atrial fibrillation received ablation again and 11 patients got success.The total clinical success rate was 82.68％ (105/127).The success rate of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was 88.46％ (92/104) and success rate of persistent atrial fibrillation was 56.52％ (13/23).Univariate analysis showed that the type,the course,the diameters of left atrial,the early recurrence,the body mass index were related to the recurrence of atrial fibrillation,and multivariable Logistic analysis revealed only the type and the diameters of left atrial were independent risk factors responsible for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Radiofrequency catheter ablation in treatment of atrial fibrillation is effective and safe,and the type and the diameters of left atrial are independent risk factors responsible for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of repeated computed tomography (CT) scan on hematological and immunological index in mice,and to explore the related mechanism.Methods A total of 60 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups as control,once,twice,4,6 and 8 times of CT scans,and administered with whole-body scan by 64-slice spiral CT with the pelvis scan mode.Thermoluminescence dosimeter was used to detect the absorbed doses of CT scan,while DNA damage (γ-H2AX),apoptosis,autophagy,cell cycle and percentages of CD4/CD8 in peripheral lymphocytes and bone marrow cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.γ-H2AX was detected 1 h after the last CT scan,and the other indexes were detected 24 h after the last CT scan.Results γ-H2AX increased after more than twice CT scans in peripheral lymphocytes and after than 4 times of CT scan in bone marrow cells (P ＜ 0.05).Apoptosis increased in peripheral blood lymphocytes and decreased in bone marrow cells after more than 4 times of CT scan (P ＜ 0.05),suggesting that lymphocytes were more sensitive while different cell subpopulation in bone marrow showed different sensitivity and response phase.No obvious changes of autophagy level were observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes,while autophagy increased in bone marrow cells after single CT scan (F =81.10,P ＜ 0.05).8 times of CT scan significantly increased the percentages of cells at G0/G1 phase and G2/M phase(x2 =11.29,28.57,P ＜0.05).The percentage of CD4 + T,CD8 + T cells decreased after CT scan,but no effects on the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 +.Conclusions Repeated CT scans could induce injury effects on hematopoietic system and immune system,and then the apoptosis.Apoptosis,autophagy and cell cycle arrest might be initiated to maintain genome stability but there is no influence on immune balance.

Compared with miR-21 NC group, the autophagy rate was increased after transfection with miR-21 mimics (P<0.05).After transfection with miR-21 mimics and radiation, the expression level of beclin1 protein was increased (P<0.05 ) compared with miR-21 NC+4 Gy group. Conclusion Beclin1 is the target gene of miR-21 in HeLa cells. Overexpression of miR-21 can increase the radiation-induced apoptosis and autophagy,but has on influence in radiation sensitivity of HeLa cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) on radiationinduced autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells.Methods MCF-7 cells were divided into four groups:control (normoxia,21％ Oxygen),irradiation (8 Gy X-rays),hypoxia (Cobalt chloride,CoCl2)and irradiation with hypoxia (CoCl2).150 μmol/L CoCl2 was utilized to induce hypoxic conditions.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of HIF-1α and MAPLC3.MDC and Hoechst staining were used to detect autophagy and apoptosis.Radiosensitivity was detected by cloning formation.The short hairpin interfering RNA (shRNA) retroviral transduction particles targeting HIF-1α was transfected into MCF-7 cells to establish HIF-1 α knockdown cells,then the radiosensibility,autophagy and apoptosis were detected.Results Compared with control group and irradiation group,the protein level of HIF-1 increased obviously in the normaxia,irradiation,hypoxia and irradiation with hypoxia groups,and the values were 0,0,1.00,1.89,respectively.The expression levels of MAPLC3 were markedly up-regulated in irradiation,hypoxia and irradiation with hypoxia groups as compared with control,and the ratios of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ were 1.15,1.73,2.38 and 3.60,respectively.The radiosensitivity of MCF-7 cells decreased in the following order:normoxia with 3MA ＞ normoxia ＞ hypoxia with 3MA ＞ hypoxia.HIF-1α knockdown cell (pSUPER-HIF-1α Ri) and vector control were constructed.After treatment with CoCl2,survival fraction of MCF-7-pSUPER was significantly higher than that of control (t =3.080,6.946,6.658,6.380,P ＜0.05),and radiosensitivity was down-regulated after irradiation,but there was no significant difference between normoxia and hypoxia in survival fraction of MCF-7-pSUPER-HIF-1α Ri.After treatment of irradiation or hypoxia,the autophagic fractions in MCF-7-pSUPER-HIF-1α Ri significantly decreased,reduced by 21.1％,25.5％,15.5％,respectively(t =4.635,4.738,6.354,P ＜0.05) as compared with MCF-7-pSUPER,but there was no change in apoptosis.Conclusions HIF-1α may increase radiationinduced autophagy and decrease radiosensitivity,but have no influence on apoptosis.

Methods GFP-LC3 transfection method was used to observe autophagy bubble.Real time-PCR was used to detect DRAM and MAPLC3 from transcriptional and translational level,respectively. The silencing vector from gene engineering was introduced by calcium phosphate transfection.Results Compared with the control group,GFP-LC3 increased significantly after 8 Gy irradiation by immunofluorescent assay,and the level of MAP-LC3 expression was higher than control group after 8 Gy irradiation by Western blot ( F =5.38,8.72,10.63,15.23,20.78 and 55.23,P ＜ 0.05 ).DRAM protein expression increased significantly at 2 h in the 8 Gy time-dose study,up to maximum at the 32 h( F =116.34,P ＜ 0.05 ).In DRAM model,the expression of LC3 and DRAM decreased significantly (F =20.36 and 40.35,P ＜ 0.05 ) and DRAM expression increased 8 Gy post-irradiation,but still lower than that in 8 Gy irradiation wild-type group.The LC3 expression also decreasaed 8 Gy post-irradiation(F =50.34,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions DRAM plays an important role in irradiation-induced autophagy in breast cancer cell.DRAM might participate in the process and serve as a theoretical target for clinical treatment of breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of different subtypes of fractionated doses on multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer cells.Methods The human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and its drug-resistant subtype SKVCR were divided into four groups i.e., sham-irradiated, single dose (10 Gy),fractionated dose (2 Gy × 5 ) and multi-fractionated dose (1 Gy × 2 × 5).Cell sensitivity to vincristine(VCR),etoposide ( VP-16),pirarubicin (THP) and cisplatin (DDP) was measured by MTT assay.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of P-gp after irradiation.Results The doubling time of SKVCR was about 1.8-fold of that of SKOV3 cells.P-gp was expressed in SKVCR but not in SKOV3.IC50 values of SKVCR were higher than those of SKOV3.To SKOV3 cells,single dose irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to THP and DDP and fractionated irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to VCR,THP and VP-16.Multi-fractionated irradiation decreased cell sensitivity to VP-16.In SKVCR cells,all these irradiation treatments increased cell sensitivity to VCR and VP-16 but not to DDP.In addition,single and fractionated irradiation decreased P-gp expression in SKVCR cells.Conclusions Single,fractionated and multi-fractionated radiation induced chemotherapy resistance in SKOV3 cells,while reversed drug resistance to VCR and VP-16 in SKVCR cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the roles of p53 in ionizing radiation induced MCF-7 cell cycle uncoupling. Methods The p53 knock-down models was established in MCF-7 with retrovirus packaged particles from 293T cells through calcium acid phosphate co-precipitation, then Western blot was used to detect the protein expression. Flow cytometry(FCM) was used to analyze the cell cycle uncoupling and polyploid after irradiation. Results Compared with p53+/+ group, the percentages of G0/G1 cells in p53 -/- group decreased, while those of S and G2+M increased (P < 0.01). In polyploidy analysis 2N cells decreased, whereas both 4N and 8N cells =increased (P<0.01). Compared with sham-irradiation, 4 Gy X-ray led to the decrease of G0/G1, S cells, and the increase of G2+M cells. The increase of 2N cells and decrease of 4N and 8N cells were observed in both p53+/+ and p53-/- cells. Compared with p53+/+ +IR group, the decrease of G0/G1 and S cells and the increase of C2 + M cells were significant (P < 0.01) in p53-/-+ IR groups. 2N cells decreased, 4N cells increased, but no changes in 8 N cells occurred. Conclusion Radiation might induce G2 arrest and cycle uncoupling, p53 plays a role in the regulation of G2 arrest, but no role in cycle uncoupling.

ABSTRACT
Objective：Our aim was to investigate the QT dispersion in patients with cor pulmonale and whether the QT dispersion was affected by cardiac function and hypoxemia of the patients with cor pulmonale. Methods：Fifty-one patients with cor pulmonale and 28 age-matched normal controls underwent electrocardiography, echocardiography, and arterial blood gas analysis. The QT dispersion was measured manually. Results:The QT dispersion was significantly longer in patients with cor pulmonale than those in the controls (70.1 ± 25.8 ms vs 37.6 ± 12.5 ms, P< 0.001). The QT dispersion in the patients with right heart failure was markedly longer compared with those with normal cardiac function (87.9 ± 21.6 ms vs 51.7 ± 14.2 ms, P<0.001). The QT dispersion was affected by hypoxemia. The QT dispersion in the groups of PaO2< 8 kPa or ≥ 8 kPa was 81.0 ± 25.9 ms and 62.1 ± 21.1 ms, respectively. There was significant difference between the groups (P< 0.01). The QT dispersion was significantly correlated with the interior diameter of right ventricle in the patients with cor pulmonale (r= 0.489, P< 0.01). Conclusion: The QT dispersion may be a useful parameter in the diagnosis for cor pulmonale and in the assessment of cardiac function in the patients with cor pulmonale.
