RESUMO
Leptin receptor overlapping transcript (LepROT) plays multiple roles in the regulation of immune systems. However, very little information is available about the anti-infectious mechanisms of amphibians LepROT. In this study, the cDNA sequence of the Rana dybowskii LepROT gene was determined by using RT-PCR and bioinformatics analysis. Then, the Aeromonas hydrophila (Ah) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) infected models of R. dybowskii was constructed to obtain histopathological characteristics. Constitutive expression of LepROT mRNA and NF-κB signaling pathway were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The full-length cDNA of LepROT gene was 396 bp and encoded 131 amino acids. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed LepROT shares 93.74% and 86.39% identity with homologues from other amphibians and mammals respectively, and the LepROT gene was quite conserved among different species. After infection, the relative expression levels of LepROT, NF-κB, IKKα and IKKβ mRNA were all significantly upregulated (P < 0.01), but showed a diverse temporal pattern of up-regulation in different tissues. Therefore, it was proposed that the LepROT gene of R. dybowskii might activate the NF-κB signaling pathway to exert anti-infectious effects, thus providing evidence for further extending the biological function of LepROT.

Objective To explore the characteristics of endometrial lesions and uterine cavity abnormality by transvaginal sonography(TVS)and the potential impact of aging on those. Methods 1052 elderly women(aged ≥60 years)underwent hysteroscopy endometrial curettage based on TVS providing an indication of abnormal uterine cavity at our hospital from January 2010 to December 2017 ,and their clinical and pathological data were analyzed.1052 patients were divided by age into a <65 years group and a ≥65 years group. And age tertile stratifications of lower tertile group ,middle tertile group ,and upper tertile group were used to investigate the correlation between ageing and endometirum diseases. Results A total of 1052 elderly women were included ,and the simple endometrial thickening was the most common etiological factor (53.2％ ) ,followed by abnormal endometrial echoes(36.9％ )and endometrial cavity fluid(9.9％ ).All the pathological results of polyps and endometrial cancer accounted for 57.8％ and 4.2％ ,respectively.Age tertile stratification analysis suggested that the proportions of endometrial cavity fluid was 6.1％ (n=20)in the lower tertile group , 5.9％ (n=20)in the middle tertile group ,and 16.7％ (n=64)in the upper tertile group(χ2 =23.40 ,P<0.01). An increasing proportion along with aging for precancerous lesions was 0.0％ (n=0) ,2.4％(n= 8) ,3.1％ (n = 12)(χ2 = 9.04 ,P < 0.01)in lower/middle/upper age tertile groups.But the proportion of endometrial cancer was decreased with ageing [lower/middle/upper tertiles :6.1％ (n=20) ,4.7％ (n=16) ,2.1％ (n=8)(χ2 =7.23 ,P<0.01]. Conclusions TVS is an effective methodfor screening uterine cavity lesions in elderly women. The TVS-detected prevalence of endometrial cavity fluid increases with ageing. The hysteroscopy endometrial pathological examination shows that endometrial cancer decreases and precancerous lesions increase with ageing.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the deep venous thrombosis risk assessment table application in the evaluation of patients with respiratory diseases of deep venous thrombosis. Methods Caprini risk score model and Padua score prediction based on the related literature and respiratory diseases in reference to the characteristics of deep venous thrombosis risk factors for deep vein thrombosis, risk assessment table. And in January 2015 October 155 cases of hospitalized patients were evaluated using this table, and all patients underwent lower limb ultrasonography. Results The results showed the risk and the population under ultrasound in 60 cases (score=2 points) thrombosis probability is 0%, 95 cases of high risk population and above (score more than 3 cent) thrombosis probability is 25.26%. There were significant differences between the two groups (χ2=17.94, all P<0.05). Conclusion The application ofnon operative patients with deep venous thrombosis risk assessment table can be a good screening of high-risk patients with thrombosis. For thrombosis in high-risk groups to physical intervention, so as to reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the status of high-risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV)infection and natural clearance in males whose wife have been infected,and to analysis the coincidence rates of HPV subtypes in couples.Methods Urethra epithelial cells and urethral secretions of 246 males whose wife infected with HR-HPV have been enrolled in the study to detect 13 kinds of HPV subtypes and redetect after 1 year.Results The natural clearance rate of HR-HPV in male was 31.82％(35/110).The infection rate was 44.72％(110/246)in initial detection,while 30.49％(75/246) in redetection,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=10.612,P<0.05).The coincidence rate of HPV subtypes in couples was 15.04％(37/246)in initial detection,while 8.94％(22/246)in redetection,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.333,P<0.05).The frequency percentage of HPV16,18 increased significantly in male,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=35.991,P<0.05).Conclusion HR-HPV can be cross-transmitted between infected women and their spouses.It is necessary to detect for her husband once women have been detected high-risk HPV positive.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate ultrasonographic features,clinical and histopathologic characteristics of hydrometra in the elderly women.Methods Hysteroscopy endometrial biopsy,dilation and curettage (D&C) and Tao Brush were selectively performed for the endometrial cytologic and histopathologic diagnosis according to the depth of the hydrometra investigated by transvaginal sonography,endometrial thickness and high-risk factors of carcinoma of endometrium in 72 elderly women with hydrometra.Results Among 72 elderly women with hydrometra,9 cases (12.5％) were examined by hysteroscopy,51 cases (70.8％) by D&C and 12 cases (16.7％) by endometrial cytology along with D&C.Histopathologic examination revealed that there were 7 (9.72％) cases with endometrial carcinoma,2 cases (2.8％) with atypical endometrial hyperplasia,6 cases (5.6％) with endometrial benign lesion,14 cases(19.4％)with pyometra and the other 43 cases (59.7％) with normal and simple hydrometra.Conclusions Transvaginal sonography in combination with endometrial cytology are beneficial for screening of endometrial disorders or for drainage of hydrometra in elderly women,decreasing invasive examinations such as D&C.
