Efficacy Evaluation of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in the Treatment of Uterine Fibroid by Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo assess the value of apparent diffusion coefficient （ADC） in the treatment of uterine fibroid using magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery （MRgFUS）. MethodsThe MRI and clinical data of 56 patients with uterine fibroid before， at 3 and 6 months after MRgFUS treatment， at Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to October 2022， were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation between the ADC value and lesion volume， symptoms severity score （SSS） and uterine fibroid symptoms quality of life questionnaire （UFS-QOL） were analyzed. ANOVA was used to compare the differences in related parameters before and after treatment， and Pearson’s method was performed to analyze data correlation. ResultsThere were significant differences in ADC value ［（1.11±0.13）， （1.84±0.09）， （2.12±0.24），×10-3/（mm2/s）］， lesion volume （102±35.30， 56.70±18.88， 46.93±18.99，cm3）， SSS （36.73±11.74， 21.77±10.21， 17.66±9.30） and UFS-QOL score （59.05±17.48， 76.54±16.50， 82.46±12.37） between before treatment and each time point after treatment （F value was 557.837， 73.589， 53.976 and 37.606， respectively， all P<0.05）. The ADC values were negatively correlated with lesion volume and SSS， and positively correlated with UFS-QOL score， with correlation coefficients of -0.586， -0.630 and 0.592， respectively （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe ADC value has clinical significance for the treatment of uterine fibroid using MRgFUS.

Study on the rehabilitation effect and family satisfaction of patients with schizophrenia in the treatment of aripiprazole by synergistic nursing model / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To study the rehabilitation effect of aripiprazole in patients with schizophrenia and the satisfaction of family members. Methods 64 patients with schizophrenia were randomly selected from the two groups. The control group and the observation group were randomly divided into two groups: the routine management and the cooperative nursing management model, and the social function evaluation scale and Family satisfaction questionnaire to investigate the results of the two groups of patients with the rehabilitation effect. Results The scores of rehabilitation questionnaire scores and family satisfaction scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the conventional condition (P<0.05), which indicated that the cooperative nursing model was helpful for the rehabilitation of schizophrenia. Conclusion The use of synergistic nursing model in the treatment of aripiprazole has a great effect on the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. The results are very good.

Clinical and molecular characteristics of hemoglobin New York in Guangxi populations / 中华血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the clinical and molecular characteristics of hemoglobin New York in populations from Guangxi and provide reference data for screening thalassemia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 30 691 samples were screened by capillary electrophoresis, and then suspicious samples of Hb New York were identified by DNA sequencing and analysis of blood cell count. Gap-PCR and reverse dot blot hybridization method were used for the detection of common mutations of α and β thalassemia in Chinese.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of Hb New York was 0.12% in Guangxi. The hematological phenotype index (MCV, MCH, Hb New York, Hb A2) of 32 Hb New York heterozygous cases were (91.00±5.19)fl, (29.42±2.04)pg, (44.10±3.12)% and (2.80±0.29)% , respectively. The hematological phenotype index of 4 Hb New York composited SEA heterozygous patients were (68.20±5.26) fl, (21.78±2.15) pg, (36.60±2.00)% and (2.90±0.14)% , of 2 Hb New York composited WS heterozygous patients were (83.90±2.69) fl, (27.70±1.70) pg, (39.70±1.70)% and (3.50±0.21)%. There were statistical differences between three groups (P<0.05). HGB, MCV and MCH of Hb New York heterozygous and Hb New York composited WS heterozygous were normal, and patients with Hb New York composited SEA heterozygous showed mild anemia, decreased MCV and MCH.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Most of Hb New York were heterozygous and no homozygotes in Guangxi. There were different hematological characteristics in different Hb New York heterozygous patients. Hb New York heterozygous had normal hematological phenotype, ant combined with other types of thalassemia could exhibit symptoms such as anemia.</p>

The relationship between p120ctn translocation and malignant features of hepatocellular carcinoma / 中华肿瘤杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of catenin p120 (p120ctn) translocation on the malignant features of hepatocellular carcinoma and its interrelation with beta-catenin in E-cadherin-mediated cell signaling.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Expression and translocation of p120ctn, tyrosine phosphorylation, and its binding capacity to E-cadherin were detected by DNA transfection, immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Cellular localization of p120ctn and beta-catenin was detected by immunofluorescent microscopy. Cell adhesion, cell migration and cell proliferation were also studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Expression of p120ctn increased after cells transfected with p120ctn isoform 3A, and it was located mainly at cell-cell contact region. Its binding to E-cadherin was enhanced. After EGF stimulation, tyrosine phosphorylation of p120ctn was increased, membrane expression of p120ctn and beta-catenin was decreased while cytosol expression was increased. It was translocated into the nucleus, cell adhesiveness was increased but mobility decreased. With over-expression of p120ctn, beta-catenin was recruited by nucleus export. Cell proliferation was reduced but it was increased after EGF treatment.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>p120tn plays an important role in cell adhesion, migration and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma, and its tyrosine phosphorylation might contribute to this mechanism. There might be a competitive relationship between p120ctn and beta-catenin.</p>
