RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL).Methods:Five UESL cases operated on at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from 2014 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. H&E and immunohistochemical staining were done for pathological observation.Results:The 5 UESL patients(two boys,three girls) were 0.5 to 15 years old, all underwent radical surgical resection. In 3 cases tumors located in right liver, 1 in left liver, 1 in both lobes. Radiographically and visually, the tumor is a large cystic solid mass, microscopically composed of myxoid stroma and undifferentiated stromal cells, with pleomorphic tumor giant cells and characteristic eosinophilic bodies. All 5 patients are now alive after surgical resection: 1 patient achieved disease-free survival of more than 91 months after surgery alone. Two patients had recurrence after surgery and received surgical resection plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. They achieved survival of more than 35 and 16 months, respectively. Two patients were treated with chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy after surgery and survived more than 49 and 31 months without recurrence, respectively.Conclusions:UESL is a rare and highly malignant mesenchymal tumor with characteristic pathologic morphology. Radical resection is the key to the treatment for UESL, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be carried out after surgery.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of PDGF-D/PDGFR-β signaling on interstitial collagen hyperplasia and fibroplasia of myocardium following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)in rats.Methods A total of 90 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly (random number) assigned into 5 groups:sham,control,Imatinib,Ad-GFP and Ad-PDGFR groups.Each group was further subdivided into post-resuscitation (PR) 4 h and PR 72 h groups.The ventricular fibrillation cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) model was used.Cardiac collagen volume fraction (CVF) was measured with Sirius red staining.Platelet derived growth factor D (PDGF-D) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Collagen Ⅰ,α smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),vimentin and PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ) were detected by Western blot.The data were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni test.P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results (1) At PR 72 h,the CVF value in the control group was significantly higher than that in the sham group [(11.24 ± 0.31) vs (1.65 ± 0.19),t =10.81,P <0.05] and in the Ad-PDGFR group significantly higher than that in Ad-GFP group [(25.60 ±4.09) vs (10.73 ± 2.42),t =16.77,P <0.05],respectively.Compared to the control group,the level of CVF in the Imatinib group significantly decreased [(5.11 ± 0.29)vs (11.24 ± 0.31),t =3.892,P <0.05].(2) At PR 4 h,compared with the sham group,the expression of serum PDGF-D was greatly increased in the control,Imatinib,Ad-GFP and Ad-PDGFR groups (all P<0.05).At PR 72 h,serum PDGF-D was continuously significantly higher in the Ad-PDGFR group when compared with the sham group [(296.46± 30.82) pg/mL vs (93.74 ± 5.43) pg/mL,t =7.755,P <0.05].(3) At PR 72 h,the expression of Collagen I,α-SMA,Vimentin and PDGFR-β in the control and Ad-PDGFR groups were significantly increased than those in the sham and Ad-GFP groups,respectively (all P<0.05).However,compared with the control group,Imatinib significantly decreased the expressions of the above proteins (all P<0.05).Conclusions The interstitial collagen hyperplasia and fibroplasia of myocardium at 72 h following CPR in rats might be related to the increased levels of PDGF-D in serum and PDGFR-β in myocardium.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of real-time feedback devices on chest compression quality test in non-medical staff during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training.Methods A total of 120 volunteers were recruited and trained according to American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care set in 2015.CPR performance with compression for six minutes was tested on a manikin.Volunteers were randomized into 3 groups.Group A was tested without any feedback.Group B was self-corrected in compression quality(include compression depth、rate and rebound of chest wall) using a real-time feedback device (Link CPR).Group C was guided with a metronome.All compression data were collected via WiFi signal and stored.Results Significantly better mean chest compression depth was achieved in group B than that in group A and C(5.38 ± 0.483 cm vs.4.42 ± 0.572cm and 4.25 ± 0.843 cm,P < 0.05).Significantly better compression rate were observed in both group B and C than that in group A (113.4 ± 5.9 and 109.0 ± 6.8 compressions/min vs.129.6 ± 8.3 compressions/min,P < 0.05).Significantly less rebounding were observed in both group B and C compared with group A (56.10 ± 32.3 and 68.30 ± 28.8 compressions vs.174.30 ± 38.8compressions,P < 0.05).Pearson correlation analysis confirmed the compression rate was positively correlated with the numbers of rebounding (r=0.776,P<0.01).Significant statistical difference in accuracy was observed among the groups (9.8% vs.72.9% vs.58.5%,P < 0.05).Conclusions In CPR training test real-time feedback device contributes to the improvement of chest compression quality through self-adjustment of compression depth,rate and rebound.

Objective To observe the effect of a repeated-sprint training on the speed-endurance of basketball players in a hypoxia environment.Methods Sixteen basketball players were divided into a hypoxiagroup and a normoxia group which had 8 persons each group.The 2 groups separatelyhad a repeated-sprint training with anaerobic power bicycles in a simulatedhypoxic environment at the altitude of 3000 meters and a normoxia environment for 4 weeks(twice a week).Before and after the training,the two groups of subjects had a shuttle run testing and a Wingateanaerobic powertestingin a normoxia environment.Then their blood were collected and measured the blood lactate level at the point-intime of after the shuttle run,3 min later,5 min later,7 min later,and 9 min later.Recorded the result of the shuttle run,the relative average power of the Wingateanaerobic powertesting,and carried on a statistic analysis of the data.Results Comparing with the performance of the shuttle run before the training,the performance of the 2 groups was improved obviously after the four-week-long training (P<0.05).But there was no significant difference between the 2 groups(P>0.05).The rate of blood lacticacid clearance in the hypoxia group was higher than that in the normoxia group,and there was a significant difference at 7 min (P<0.01).The relative average power of the hypoxia group had a significant improvement(P<0.05),while the normoxia group had no significant change(P>0.05).There was no significant difference of the relative average power between the two groups.Conclusion Repeatedsprint training can improve basketball players' speed-endurance.Repeated-sprint training in a hypoxic environment can effectively improve basketball players' ability of reducing blood lactate in their body,and the improvement of this aerobic ability can help athletes to have a better performance in competitions.
RESUMEN
Aim To observe the expression of epider-mal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) in cerebral tissues around hematomas after intracerebral hemorrhage, and explore the effects of EGFR on activation of astrocytes derived from rats and the involved mechanisms. Meth-ods The specimens of cerebral tissues around hemo-tomas after intracerebral hemorrhage undergoing hemo-tomas removal operation were collected and then divid-ed into 4 groups according to the time of intracerebral hemorrhage: 10 d groups. Each group included 20 cases. At the same time, 20 dropped brain tissues distant to hemorrhage in the operative process were collected as control group. Immunohistostaining and Western blot were used to measure the expression of EGFR. After isolation and culturing, the astrocytes of rat cortex were treated with culture solution ( control group) , CNTF that was used to activate astrocytes, scramble siRNA + CNTF and EGFR siRNA +CNTF for 24h, respectively. The ex-pression of glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP) mR-NA was detected through fluorescence real-time quanti-tative PCR. In addition, the protein levels of GFAP, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 ( STAT3 ) and phosphorylated STAT3 ( p-STAT3 ) were examined using Western blot. Results With the ex-tension of intracerebral hemorrhage time, positive sig-nal index and protein expression levels of EGFR gradu-ally elevated, reached the peak on 6 ~10d, and then decreased after 10 d. There was statistical difference ( P0. 05 ) . Conclusions EGFR expression is upregulated in the cerebral tissues around hemotomas after intracerebral hemorrhage. Gene silence of EGFR contributes to suppressing the activation of astrocytes derived from rats, which may be involved in the block-ade of STAT3 phosphorylation.

RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of the whole blood interferon γ(IFN-γ) release assay of QuantiFERON TB Gold in tube (QFT-GIT) in diagnosis of tuberculosis. Methods From October 2014 to October 2015, 109 patients with tuberculosis (45 cases of confirmed patients and 64 cases of clinically diagnosed patients) and 70 patients with non-tuberculosis were enrolled in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. In order to evaluate diagnosis value between two kinds of tests, and to compare the differences between two groups, QFT-GIT test and colloidal gold anti tuberculosis antibody (TB-Ab) were employed to detect in two groups of patients. The ROC curve of IFN-γrelease quantity was analyzed in two groups. Results The sensitivity and specificity of QFT-GIT were 93.58% and 85.71% respectively. The positive rate was significantly higher in QFT-GIT than that of TB-Ab (χ2=43.68,P<0.01). The sensitivity of combined detection of the two methods decreased to 52.3% (57/109), but the specificity increased to 90.0% (63/70). The release quantity of IFN-γwas significantly higher in tuberculosis group than that in the non-tuberculosis group (U=330,P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of IFN-γrelease quantity was 0.913 (95%CI:0.864-0.963). Conclusion The whole blood IFN-γrelease assay of QFT-GIT is a sensitive and specific assay for detecting tuberculosis infection. The combination QFT-GIT with TB-Ab can improve the specificity further, which could be a useful tool for the diagnosis of tuberculosis .

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To explore the Association between KCNJ11 gene E23K polymorphism of Chinese and body composition together with its response to endurance training. METHOD: 102 biologically unrelated Han nationality male new recruits from northern China volunteered to execute a 5000-m running programme, and the intensity is 95-105% individual lactate threshold. The protocol was lasted for 18 weeks, three times per week. The body composition index, including body weight (WT)ãlean body weight (LBW), body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (Fat%), was measured before and after training. PCR-RFLP was used to detect the KCNJ11 gene E23K polymorphism. RESULTS: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed for the frequency of genotypes in these subjects. Before training, WT, BMI and Fat% in KK group were significantly higher than those in EE and KK group (p<0.05 or p<0.01). There was no significant difference in LBW among groups (P>0.05). After training, the changes of all body composition index in KK group were bigger significantly greater than those in EE and EK groups (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: KCNJ11 gene E23K polymorphism might contribute to individual body composition together with its response to endurance training. The body fat content at baseline in KK was more than those in EE and EK groups, and it may hinder that individual to eliminate their body fat during endurance training.

Objective To compare different susceptibility testing methods of tigecycline against Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae.Methods Fifty carbapenem-resietant A.baumannii (CRAB) strains and 49 K.pneumoniae strains were collected from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital during January and March 2012.Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and inhibitory zone diameters for tigecycline were determined by broth microdilution,Vitek-2,MTS and disk diffusion methods.The results of Vitek-2,MTS and disk diffusion methods were compared with those of broth microdilution method.Results According to FDA standards,the susceptibilities of CRAB and K.pneumoniae to tigecycline determined by broth microdilution,Vitek-2 and MTS were 94.0%/91.8%,68.0%/91.8% and 90.0%/91.8%,respectively.For CRAB isolates,the essential agreement (EA) and categorical agreement (CA) produced by Vitek-2 and MTS were 94.0%/72.0% and 92.0%/90.0%.MICs determined by Vitek-2 were 1-2 dilutions higher than the reference method in 33 (66.0%) strains,and those determined by MTS were higher in 16 (32.0%) strains and lower in 11 (22.0%) strains.For K.pneumoniae isolates,the EA/CA produced by Vitek-2 and MTS were 95.9%/98.0% and 83.7%/91.8%,respectively.MICs determined by Vitek-2 were 1-3 dilutions lower than the reference method in 17 (34.7%) strains,and those determined by MTS were 1-3 dilutions lower than the reference method in 39 (79.6%) strains.None of thetwo methods produced very major error (VME) and major error (ME) against two kinds of isolates.The results were determined by disk diffusion method using different breakpoints according different isolates.For CRAB,using ≥14 mm/≤ 10 mm as breakpoint,CA was 94.0%,which was higher than the breakpoint recommended by Jones et al (≥16 mm/≤12 mm,CA was 82.0%) ; and for K.pneumoniae,using the ≥ 14 mm/≤ 10 mm as breakpoint,CA was 93.9%,higher than the FDA Enterobacteriaceae breakpoint (≥ 19 mm/≤ 14 mm,CA was 67.3%).Conclusion For CRAB strains,MTS produces better consistence with broth microdilution,with several higher or lower MIC results.For K.pneumoniae strains,Vitek-2 has better correlation with reference method,with several lower MIC results.The consistence between disk diffusion method and broth microdilution is comparatively lower,and the breakpoint should be adjusted according to different bacteria.
