RESUMO

Background: We aimed to evaluate the impact of pain on patients during Hysterosalpingography (HSG). Methods: PubMed, PMC and other journals were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTS) on HSG. Appropriate articles were selected for inclusion and reasonable exclusion according to keywords. Following a thorough review of the relevant literature, the process of literature screening was conducted in accordance with the aforementioned criteria. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the risk of bias assessment tool developed by the Cochrane Collaboration. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4.1 software. Results: Twelve studies were included, including 1530 cases in the experimental group and 1545 cases in the control group. The literature summarizes the basic information of patients during HSG and makes statistics on the differences in visual analog scale (VAS) and pain perception. The findings from the HSG examination revealed a lack of significant association between patients' pain sensation and their age and BMI. However, the duration of pregnancy in patients decreased following HSG treatment (95%CI (-18.84 to -3.58), P=0.004).Compared with conventional testing, HSG could effectively reduce the pregnancy time of patients (95%CI (-18.84, -3.58), P=0.004), reduce the VAS of patients (95%CI (-4.73, -1.51), P=0.0001), and increase the number of patients without pain (95%CI (1.80, 10.43), P=0.001). Conclusion: During the HSG examination, acceptable pain avoidance is generated and can be relieved over time. At present, there is no effective alternative method, so the patient should cooperate with the doctor to complete the examination, to relieve the pain.

RESUMO

Microangiogenesis is an important prognostic factor in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) has been shown to contribute to tumor angiogenesis. Recently, several studies have investigated the regulation of VEGF production by a single gene, with few researchers exploring all genes that affect VEGF production. In this study, we comprehensively analyzed all genes affecting VEGF production in HCC and developed a risk model and gene-based risk score based on VEGF production. Moreover, the model's predictive capacity on prognosis of HCCs was verified using training and validation datasets. The developed model showed good prediction of the overall survival rate. Patients with a higher risk score experienced poor outcomes compared to those with a lower risk score. Furthermore, we identified the immunological causes of the poor prognosis of patients with high-risk scores comparing with those with low-risk scores.

RESUMO

Evidence displays that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are considerable mediators of numerous processes in cancer development. Given that many circRNAs are not functionally characterized, our aim was to explore the function and mechanisms of circ_0051428 in thyroid cancer (TC). The analysis of circ_0051428, miR-1248 and FN1 mRNA expression was conducted using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell growth was observed using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell migration was investigated using wound healing assay. Cell apoptosis was identified by the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax and Bcl-2) using Western blotting. Animal models were established to testify the role of circ_0051428 in vivo. The assumed binding between miR-1248 and circ_0051428 or FN1 was identified using dual-luciferase reporter or RIP assay. circ_0051428 exhibits an abnormally elevated expression in TC. circ_0051428 deficiency caused inhibition of TC cell proliferation, migration, clonogenic capacity, and inhibition of tumor growth in vivo. circ_0051428 directly targeted miR-1248, and FN1 was a target downstream of circ_0051428/miR-1248 axis. circ_0051428 could sponge miR-1248 to upregulate FN1. Furthermore, miR-1248 downregulation recovered circ_0051428 deficiency-suppressed cancer cell proliferation, survival and migration. Besides, the repressive effects of FN1 knockdown on cancer cell growth, survival and migration were also partly abolished by miR-1248 downregulation. circ_0051428 targeted miR-1248 to modulate FN1 expression, thereby facilitating the malignant progression of TC, which contributed to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of TC development.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the image quality and adverse events (AEs) of ethiodized poppyseed oil (EPO) compared with ioversol as contrast agents in hysterosalpingography (HSG). METHODS: Two hundred twenty-eight patients underwent HSG were consecutively recruited in this prospective cohort study, and were accordingly divided into EPO group (N = 165) and ioversol group (N = 63). The quality of image was assessed according to the European Guidelines on quality criteria for diagnostic radiographic images. AEs during, within 2 h and at 1-month post-HSG were recorded. RESULTS: EPO displayed elevated image quality compared with ioversol including the total image quality score (P < 0.001), the cervical canal display score (P < 0.001), shape and outline of uterus score (P < 0.01), cervical mucosa or folds score (P < 0.001), oviduct isthmus score (P < 0.001), ampulla and fimbriae of oviduct score (P < 0.001) and celiac diffuse image score (P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression displayed that EPO (P < 0.001) was an independent predictive factor for increased total image quality score. AEs were similar between EPO group and ioversol group during and within 2 h post-HSG (all P > 0.05). However, at 1-month post-HSG, the number of patients had unchanged and faded menstrual blood color decreased but the proportion of patients with deepened menstrual color increased in EPO group compared with ioversol group (P = 0.007). In addition, the number of patients had iodine residue in uterine cavity was elevated in EPO group compared with ioversol group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: EPO is more efficient in image quality and equally tolerant compared to ioversol as contrast agents in HSG.

RESUMO

Stokes polarimeters are most commonly used to measure the state of polarization of optical wave. Dependence of Stokes parameters, degree of polarization on external magnetic field are presented for garnet and groove films on garnet in the transmission and reflection modes. The Stokes parameters S1, S2, S3 of different modes show different tendency and asymmetrically change when the external magnetic field change, while the degree of polarization basically unchange.
