RESUMEN
Dysphagia is the common complication of stroke. It is difficult for patients with dysphagia to eat, and they are prone to develop choking, aspiration, malnutrition, and even aspiration pneumonia, leading to death. The body's nervous system has greater plasticity in the relatively short period after stroke. Active treatment and rehabilitation care can promote the recovery of the damaged nervous system and improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia after stroke. At present, there are many rehabilitation nursing interventions for stroke patients with dysphagia. This paper reviews the research progress of rehabilitation nursing interventions for stroke patients with dysphagia at home and abroad, from the perspectives of swallowing evaluation, basic training, feeding training, and complication prevention, so as to provide evidence for clinical rehabilitation nursing.
RESUMEN
Background@#Bovine papillomatosis is a type of proliferative tumor disease of skin and mucosae caused by bovine papillomavirus (BPV). As a transboundary and emerging disease in cattle, it poses a potential threat to the dairy industry. @*Objectives@#The aim of this study is to detect and clarify the genetic diversity of BPV circulating in dairy cows in Xinjiang, China. @*Methods@#122 papilloma skin lesions from 8 intensive dairy farms located in different regions of Xinjiang, China were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The genetic evolution relationships of various types of BPVs were analyzed by examining this phylogenetic tree. @*Results@#Ten genotypes of BPV (BPV1, BPV2, BPV3, BPV6, BPV7, BPV8, BPV10, BPV11, BPV13, and BPV14) were detected and identified in dairy cows. These were the first reported detections of BPV13 and BPV14 in Xinjiang, Mixed infections were detected, and there were geographical differences in the distribution of the BPV genotypes. Notably, the BPV infection rate among young cattle (< 1-year-old) developed from the same supply of frozen sperm was higher than that of the other young cows naturally raised under the same environmental conditions. @*Conclusions@#Genotyping based on the L1 gene of BPV showed that BPVs circulating in Xinjiang China displayed substantial genetic diversity. This study provided valuable data at the molecular epidemiology level, which is conducive to developing deep insights into the genetic diversity and pathogenic characteristics of BPVs in dairy cows.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the occurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) single and multiple infections in different cervical lesions, and to analyze the distribution of HPV types in patients with single infection and the change of viral load before and after treatment.Methods:A total of 4 783 HPV-DNA-positive cases who were detected by cervical exfoliated cells HPV-DNA testing from May 2017 to March 2019 in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, of which 3 728 cases met the criteria and were included in this study. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to determine HPV genotype and viral load, and liquid-based thin-layer cytology (TCT) test and colposcopic histopathological diagnosis were performed. According to the histopathological results, the patients were divided into chronic cervicitis+cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ group, CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ group and cervical cancer group.Results:A total of 3 364 cases had HPV single infection, of which chronic cervicitis+CIN Ⅰ accounted for 78.27% (2 633/3 364), CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ accounted for 18.73% (630/3 364), and cervical cancer accounted for 3.00% (101/3 364); 364 cases had HPV multiple infections, of which chronic cervicitis+CIN Ⅰ accounted for 51.65% (188/364), CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ accounted for 42.58% (155/364), and cervical cancer accounted for 5.77% (21/364). The difference in the proportion of cervical lesions with different pathological grades in HPV single infection and multiple infections was statistically significant ( χ2 = 127.21, P < 0.01). The top four HPV single infection genotypes in chronic cervicitis+CINⅠ group and CINⅡ+CINⅢ group were type 16, 52, 58 and 53, and their proportions were 17.05% (449/2 633), 12.91% (340/2 633), 9.08% (239/2 633) and 8.89% (234/2 633) in chronic cervicitis+CINⅠ group, and 32.22% (203/630), 10.32% (65/630), 8.41% (53/630) and 5.87% (37/630) in CINⅡ+CINⅢ group. In the cervical cancer group, the top two HPV single infection genotypes were type 16 and 18, and their proportions were 81.19% (82/101) and 6.93% (7/101). The viral load of 120 patients with HPV infection was 4.89±1.14 before treatment and 2.86±1.63 after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 13.260, P < 0.01). Conclusions:HPV multiple infections are more likely to aggravate the degree of cervical lesions than single infection. Common HPV infection subtypes in different cervical lesions include type 16, 52, 58, 53 and 18.

RESUMEN
Objective@#To analyze the possible responses of parents of young children to Child sexual assault (CSA) and the potential influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for prevention programs of CSA.@*Methods@#Part of the data from "2016-2020 Child Injury Prevention Project" was used to analyze responses to CSA among parents of children younger than 3rd grade in primary school by chi square test and Logistic regression analysis.@*Results@#A total of 4 072 parents were included in the analysis. Among them, 86.8% of parents chose "to solve problems together", 51.0% of parents taking children to a "psychologist", 4.9% of parents "scolding children for being too careless", 2.9% of parents "letting child not disclose abuse" and 6.5% of parents chose "other" coping methods. Parents with foreign nationality [OR(95%CI)=2.58(1.25-5.15)] and lower education level (OR=0.26-0.64) tend to "blame" their children. Mothers [(OR(95%CI)=0.54(0.33-0.90)], higher parental education level (OR=0.27-0.72) were more reluctant to encourage their children to keep quiet. Mothers [OR(95%CI)=1.73(1.32-2.27)], older children (OR=1.33-1.78) and parents with higher education level (OR=1.65-2.99) tend to "accompany". Parents aged 30 or more, and from high school/technical school/technical secondary school tend to take their children to see a "psychologist" [OR(95%CI)=1.39(1.14-1.71), 1.79(1.26-2.53)].@*Conclusion@#Parents universally pay attention to the physical and mental health of children after CSA, but some parents still take negative coping methods, e.g. "blame" and "not disclose". Parenting educational level, duration of parent-child communication and age of children are primary factors associated with parental responses to child sexual assault. This study suggests that prevention secondary injury following child sexual assault should be farther strengthened, while fully considering the characteristics of the educated objects.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation of HLA-DP gene polymorphisms with the immune response to antiviral treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. METHODS: A total of 106 HCV Han-nationality patients were collected from our hospital during May 2013 to Aug 2017. All patients received PEG IFNα+ribavirin (RBV) for 48 weeks, and then 24 week follow-up after drug withdrawal. Age, body weight and baseline level of HCV-RNA were recorded. The typing of rs3077 and rs2395309 site of HLA-DP gene were detected by RT-qPCR with Taqman-MGB fluorescent probe. According to treatment outcome, the patients were divided into two groups such as sustained viral response (SVR) group and no-sustained viral response (N-SVR) group. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed for influential factors (gender, age, body weight index, HCV-RNA baseline level, gene polymorphisms) of immune response to antiviral treatment for HCV patients with Logistic regression model. RESULTS: Among 106 patients, the frequencies of CC, CT and TT genotype at rs3077 site were 40.6%, 35.8% and 23.6%; those of GG, GA and AA genotype at rs2395309 site were 50.0%, 39.6%, 10.4%, respectively, which were in line with Hardy-Weinberg genetic balance (P>0.05). Totally 80 HCV patients were obtained in SVR group, and 26 HCV patients in N-SVR group. The patient’s age, the proportion of CT and TT genotype of rs3077 site and GA and AA genotype of rs2395309 site in SVR group were significantly lower than N-SVR group. The proportion of CC genotype at rs3077 site and GG genotype at rs2395309 site were significantly higher than N-SVR group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in gender, body weight index or HCV-RNA baseline level between 2 groups (P>0.05). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that gender, body mass index, HCV-RNA baseline level, CC genotype at rs3077 site and GG genotype at rs2395309 site were not related to the immune response to antiviral treatment (P>0.05). Age, CT and TT genotype at rs3077 site, GA and AA genotype at rs2395309 site were associated with the immune response to antiviral therapy [OR were 1.135, 1.766, 1.283, 1.218, 1.103, 95%CI were (1.017,1.267), (1.007,3.100), (1.038,1.585), (1.011,1.467), (1.038,1.172), respectively, P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS: Age and the polymorphisms of HLA-DP gene at rs3077 and rs2395309 site are related to immune response to PEG IFNα+RBV antiviral treatment for HCV Han-nationality patients. Young patients may have higher antiviral immune response rate, while carriers with T and A mutation alleles may have lower antiviral immune response rate.

Flow cytometry was used to determine the proportions of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi regulatory B cells and CD19+CD24hiCD27+ regulatory B cells in CD19+ lymphocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the two groups. ELISA was employed to detect the serum contents of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-35 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 of the two groups.ResultsAs compared with those in the control group, the proportions of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi regulatory B cells and CD19+CD24hiCD27+ regulatory B cells in CD19+B lymphocytes of the GBS group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). As compared with the control group, the GBS group had significantly decreased IL-10 and IL-35 levels (P<0.05), and obviously increased TGF-β1 content without statistical difference (P>0.05).ConclusionRegulatory B cells play a role in the pathogenesis of GBS through IL-10 and IL-35 cytokine pathways.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with negative driving genes.@*Methods@#From January 2016 to March 2018, 62 advanced NSCLC patients with negative driving genes diagnosed at Xuzhou Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into study group (30 cases) and control group (32 cases), respectively. The patients in the study group were treated with standard first-line chemotherapy combined with apatinib, while those in control group were treated with chemotherapy alone.@*Results@#The disease control rate (DCR) and objective remission rate (ORR) in the study group were 60.0% and 16.7%, respectively, higher than 46.9% and 9.3% in the control group, but without statistical difference (P>0.05). The median progression-free survival (PFS) of study group and control group were 6.4 months and 4.9 months, respectively (P=0.004), and the median overall survival (OS) were 11.3 months and 9.2 months, respectively (P=0.006). Multivariate survival analysis indicated that treatment regimen (P=0.001) was the independent prognostic factor of PFS, and PS score (P=0.002), clinical stage (P=0.02) and treatment regimen (P<0.001) were the independent prognostic factors of OS. After treatment, the incidence of hypertension and hand-foot syndrome in the study group were 46.7% and 53.3%, respectively, significantly higher than 3.3% and 0 in the control group, respectively (P<0.05). The incidence of grade 3-4 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the study group was 26.7% (8/30), mainly including hypertension, hand-foot syndrome and bone marrow suppression. The incidence of grade 3-4 ADRs in the control group was 15.6% (5/32), all of which were bone marrow suppression, without significant difference (P=0.286). There was no difference in serum levels of VEGF and CEA between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the serum level of VEGF in the study group was (169.3±10.1) pg/ml, lower than (211.8±16.7) pg/ml of the control group (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Apatinib combined with first-line chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC patients with negative driving genes is safe and beneficial for survival. This therapeutic strategy can significantly prolong the PFS and OS, and further improvement and application can be considered as a choice in the clinical treatment.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have shown that activation of the immune system, inflammatory cell infiltration, and activation of inflammatory mediators play an important role in the development of heart failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cardiac function can be improved by regulating the balance of lymphocyte subsets and cytokines. METHODS: Ninety-six patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) who were older than 60 years were randomly divided into two groups: CHF testing group (CHFT) received regular therapy and thymopentin (2 mg thymopentin per day, 15th as a course, three courses in total). CHF control group (CHFC) received regular therapy. Forty-five healthy individuals older than 60 years were used as normal controls. The ejection fraction of left ventricle (LVEF), inner diameter of left ventricular end-diastole (LVEDD), inner diameter of left ventricular end-systole (LVESD), plasma high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), 6-min walking distance (6MWT), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) assessment, lymphocyte subsets, and inflammatory cytokines were tested. RESULTS: The levels of LVEF, 6MWT, CD 3+, CD4+T cells, natural killer cells, CD4+/CD8+ and IL-10 in CHFT were increased (p<0.01) compared with CHFC, while BNP, hsCRP, MLHFQ, CD8+, TNF-α, IL-1ß, and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio in CHFT were decreased (p<0.01). LVEDD and LVESD were decreased, even though there was no significant difference between the two CHF groups. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that immune modulation therapy improve cardiac function and regulate cytokines and lymphocyte subsets in older patients with CHF.

Objective To evaluated the effect of first-line epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)on advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)patients with different EGFR mutation status (exon 1 9 deletion and exon 21 mutation).Methods Seventy-two advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation confirmed by histopathology were enrolled.All of the patients received first-line EGFR-TKI.The relationships between EGFR mutation status and objective response rate (ORR),disease control rate (DCR),progression free survival (PFS ) and overall survival (OS ) were analyzed.Results Of the 72 patients,37 patients expressed exon 1 9 deletion,35 patients expressed exon 21 mutation,and all of them could be evaluated.The ORR and DCR of patients with exon 1 9 deletion were higher than those of patients with exon 21 mutation (75.7%vs.51 .4%,χ2 =4.583,P=0.032;89.2%vs.68.6%,χ2 =4.636,P=0.031 ).The modified median PFS of patients with exon 1 9 deletion was significantly higher than that of patients with exon 21 mutation (1 3.2 month vs.1 0.8 month,χ2 =4.700,P=0.030).The median OS of patients with exon 1 9 deletion was significantly higher than that of patients with exon 21 mutation (30.2 month vs.25.6 month,χ2 =4.686,P=0.030).The side effects were similar between the two groups.The most common adverse reaction was rash,and the incidence had no significant difference between the two groups (48.7% vs.48.6%,χ2 =0.000,P=0.995 ).Conclusion EGFR mutation status is a predictor for PFS,OS and ORR of first-line EGFR-TKI in patients with advanced NSCLC.NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 1 9 deletion are associated with longer survival time and better response rate compared with those with exon 21 mutation.
RESUMEN
Obiective To explore the interaction of cefonicid sodium(CS) with bovine serum albumin(BSA) by fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. Methods The rate constant(Kq), quenching constant(Ksv), static fluo-rescence quenching association constant(KLB),binding site number(n) and binding constant(Kb) were calculated using Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and double logarithm equations. Results CS was able to bind to BSA. The probable quenching mechanism of BSA by CS was mainly static quenching due to the formation of a CS-BSA com-plex. The results of thermodynamic parameters indicated that electrostatic force plays the main role in the binding process and the binding process was spontaneous. There was a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The primary binding site for CS was located at sub-domainⅡA of BSA and near by tyrosine residue. There was almost some negative cooperative effect. The results obtained from synchronous fluorescence showed that CS could change the microenvironment of Tyrand Trp residues of BSA. Conclusion The interaction between CS and BSA is dynam-ic. There is a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The obtained results provide references for its clini-cal application.

Objective To study the mechanism of β3 adrenoceptor (β3-AR) activation underlying cholesterol efflux by activating or inhibiting the β3-AR of HepG2 cells.Methods Cultured HepG2 cells were randomly divided into control group,β3-AR agonist group and β3-AR antagonist group.Serum levels of apoA-Ⅰ,apoA-Ⅱ,and β3-AR in supernatant fluid,and cholesterol,free cholesterol,cholesterol ester in HepG2 cells were measured by ELISA.Cholesterol efflux from macrophages was tested by 3H-labled cholesterol.Expressions of ABCA1 and LXRα mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The efflux rate of apoA-Ⅰ,cholesterol and cholesterol ester was significantly higher while the serum levels of cholesterol and cholesterol ester were significantly lower and the expression levels of ABCA1 and LXRα mRNA and protein were significantly higher in β3 AR agonist group than in control group.The serum levels of cholesterol and cholesterol ester were significantly higher while the efflux rate of cholesterol and cholesterol ester and the expression levels of ABCA1 and LXRα mRNA and protein were significantly lower in β3-AR antagonist groupt than in β3-AR agonist group (0.49±0.10 vs 1.24±0.02,0.85±0.05 vs 1.32±0.05,0.38±0.01 vs 1.45±0.20,0.08±0.01 vs 0.76±0.02,P<0.01).Conclusion β3 AR promotes cholesterol efflux by upregulating the expression of apoA-Ⅰin HepG2 cells.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the relationship between mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in patients with advanced nonsmall ccll lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 72 outpatients and inpatients with stage Ⅲ b/ⅣNSCLC diagnosed by histopathology and harbored EGFR-activating mutations (exon 19 and exon 21) from January 2008 to December 2013 in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital were collected.All of them received first-line EGFR-TKI.The relationships between EGFR gene status and response rate or progression-free survival (PFS)were analyzed.Results Of the 72 patients with EGFR mutation,37 patients harbored exon 19 deletion,and 35 patients harbored exon 21 L858R point mutation.The efficacies of all patients were assessable.The objective response rate (ORR) was 63.9 % (46/72) and disease control rate (DCR) was 79.2 % (57/72) in all patients,including 2 cases of complete remission (CR),44 cases of partial remission (PR),1 1 cases stable disease (SD) and 15 cases of disease progression (PD).Patients with exon 19 deletion had a higher ORR [75.7 % (28/37) vs 51.4 % (18/35),P =0.032] and a higher DCR [89.2 % (33/37) vs 68.6 % (24/35),P =0.031]than patients with exon 21 L858R mutation.The PFS of patients with exon 19 deletion was significantly longer than that of patients with exon 21 L858R mutation (12.0 months vs 9.5 months,P =0.030).Cox multivariate analysis indicated that the gender,histological type,smoking history were the major influence factors of PFS.The differences of toxicity between the two groups were not significant.Conclusion EGFR-activating mutation is a predictor for PFS and ORR of first-line EGFR-TKI in patients with advanced NSCLC.
