Objective To study the effect of inositol polyphosphate-4-phosphatase type II(INPP4B)on the proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Methods Western blotting was employed to detect basic expression of INPP4B in various kinds of cervical cancer cell lines. The INPP4B expressions in LHCX-INPP4B transfected SiHa and C33a cells as well as INPP4B specific siRNA transfected CaSki cells were determined by Western blotting. CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to test cell growth and proliferation. Cell cycle was detected by using BrdU assay. Cell apoptosis was evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/PI cell apoptosis kit. Results CCK-8 and clone formation assay showed that the overexpression of INPP4B significantly reduced the cell viability and clonogenic ability of SiHa and C33a(all P<0.05). BrdU assay showed that the proportion of SiHa and C33a cells in S phase decreased after being transfected with INPP4B(P=0.04, P=0.01). Accordantly, depletion of INPP4B in Caski cells increased cell viability and the percentage of the cells entering S phase(P<0.01). However, INPP4B did not influence the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Conclusion INPP4B inhibits the growth and proliferation of cervical cancer cells and leads to cell cycle arrest.

Objective To explore the effects of high-dose endogenous estrogen(17-β E₂)and progesterone(P)of the reproductive phase on the blood pressure of perimenopausal and postmenopausal rats and to observe the role of angiotensin II type-1 receptor(AT₁R). Methods Bilateral ovariectomy was performed during the diestrus phase of estrus cycle to induce rat models of artificial estrous cycle by 17-β E₂ and P. The models were divided into 3 groups: high-dose estrogen plus low-dose progesterone group(n=20, HELP), high-dose progesterone plus low-dose estrogen group(n=20, HPLE), and ovariectomized group(n=20, OVX). The experimental animals were given hormones for 8 weeks, decreasing dosages for 5 weeks and withdrawal hormones for 6 weeks to imitate the reproductive phase, perimenopausal phase and postmenopausal phase respectively. The changes of blood pressure, serum E₂ and P, and protein and mRNA expressions of AT₁R in the abdominal aorta were monitored. Results Compared with the OVX group, the HELP and HPLE groups had higher systolic blood pressure(SBP)in all phases(P<0.05); the HELP group had higher diastolic blood pressure(DBP)in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal phases(P<0.05), and higher protein and mRNA expressions of AT₁R in the reproductive and perimenopausal phases(P<0.05). The protein expression of AT₁R was positively correlated with serum concentration of E₂ and SBP(P<0.01). Conclusion Exposure to excessively high-dose 山东大学学报 (医学版)55卷11期 -贾佳静,等.育龄期高水平生殖激素对大鼠围绝经期及绝经后血压的影响 \=-endogenous estrogen in the reproductive phase raises the blood pressure in perimenopausal and postmenopausal rats. Elevated protein expression of AT₁R in the abdominal aorta is correlated with high SBP.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility by using autologous tubular granulation tissues for urethral reconstruction. Methods A total of 18 male rabbits were divided into the experimental group(n=9)and control group(n=9). A pendulous urethral segment of 1.0 cm was excised in all rabbits. In the experimental group, urethroplasty was performed with autologous tubular granulation tissues. In the control group, re-anastomosis was performed. Serial urethrography, general observation, histological detection and Western blotting were performed 1 month, 2 and 6 months after operation to dynamically evaluate patency degree and tissue regeneration. Results Histological and transmission electron microscopy of the autologous granulation tissues showed densely-arranged collagens and myofibroblasts. Urethrography showed the neo-urethra in the experimental group remained wide patent at each time point, while strictures developed in the control group. Histologically, layers of urothelium surrounded by increasingly organized smooth muscles were observed. Western blotting showed expressions of pan-cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and α-smooth muscle actin increased gradually with time, which reached similar level with normal urethra 6 months postoperatively. Conclusion Autologous tubular granulation tissues grown subcutaneously can be used to repair urethral defect of 1.0 cm in male rabbits.

Objective To investigate the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor V(TRPV5)during the differentiation of osteoclasts mediated by intermittent tensile stress. Methods Murine osteoclasts were divided into 4 groups and mediated by different loading stress: group A(1 000 με), group B(3 000 με), group C(5 000 με), and group D(0 με). The mRNA expression of TRPV5 in the 4 groups was detected with fluorescence quantitative PCR before and after the differentiation. Results Compared with group D, the other 3 groups had higher mRNA expression of TRPV5(P<0.001). Pairwise comparison results showed that there was no statistical difference between group B and C(P>0.05),there was statistical difference between any other two groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Intermittent tensile stress promotes the expression of TRPV5 channel gene in osteoclasts within a certain range.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of sodium fluorescein-guided resection of high-grade glioma(HGG)under “yellow fluorescence” mode. Methods The clinical data of 21 HGG confirmed by pathological examination and treated during Jan. 2014 and Dec. 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein after general anesthesia. Tumors were removed under “yellow fluorescence” mode. Fluorescence degree of different regions of tumor was compared and multiple site biopsy was implemented during the operation. Total resection rate was calculated and pathological results were analyzed after operation. All patients were followed up for a long term. Results “Yellow fluorescence” mode allowed a good discrimination between tumor and peripheral brain tissues. Total resection was achieved in 17 patients and subtotal resection in 4 patients. The core of tumor had a stronger fluorescence imaging compared to the boundary and the peritumoral edema(P<0.05). The pathological results differed in different regions of tumor in the same patient. Tumor cells could be detected in the peritumoral edema under traditional white light illumination. Conclusion Sodium fluorescein-guided surgery under “yellow fluorescence” mode helps to distinguish tumor and peripheral brain tissue as well as to facilitate total resection of gliomas. The fluorescence degree and pathological results differ in different regions of HGG.

Objective To evaluate the sensibility of transcranial Doppler(TCD)in predicting delayed cerebral ischemia(DCI)after ruptured aneurysm surgery, and to explore the risk factors of DCI. Methods Clinical data of 67 patients with ruptured aneurysm who received intracranial aneurysmal clipped operation were retrospectively analyzed. Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC)and Logistic regression were adopted to analyze the diagnostic accuracy and risk factors of DCI. Results DCI occurred in 18 of all patients, with an incidence rate of 26.9%. When the middle cerebral artery mean blood flow velocity(MCAVm)was 149.5 cm/s, TCD had the highest predicting accuracy, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 81.6%, respectively. Modified Fisher grade and MCAVm≥130 cm/s were significantly correlated with the occurrence of DCI. Conclusion Early dynamic TCD monitoring can effectively predict DCI, guide the treatment and reduce the ischemic neurological deficits. Modified Fisher grade and MCAVm≥130 cm/s are the risk factors of DCI.

Objective To provide experiences for clinical diagnosis and treatment by analyzing the surgical outcomes for patients with multiple lung lesions. Methods Clinical data of 61 patients with clinical diagnosis of synchronous multiple primary non-small cell lung cancer(SMPLC)were collected from May 2012 to Apr. 2016 in our hospital. The clinicopathologic features, surgical treatment and overall survival(OS)were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 61 patients, 47 patients were verified with more than one malignant tumors. Ten patients were verified with only one malignant tumor, and all lesions of the other 4 patients were benign. Forty-one patients were finally diagnosed with SMPLC after surgical treatment. The 1-year and 3-year OS rates were 97.0% and 77.5%, respectively. Smaller dimension of maximal tumor(χ2=10.918, P=0.012), lesions with less solid ingredient(χ2=10.754, P=0.005), lymph nodes metastases negative(χ2=10.234, P=0.001)and earlier TNM stage(χ2=12.068, P=0.007)were correlated with better OS. Conclusion For patients with multiple lung lesions, if the diagnosis of SMPLC can not be excluded and there is no lymph nodes metastases in thoracic computed tomography, surgical treatment can be considered preferentially.

Objective To explore the application of flash spiral acquisition by dual-source CT in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease complicated with cardiovascular airway constriction. Methods Children suspected with cardiovascular airway compression underwent flash spiral acquisition by dual-source CT during Jan. 2013 and Dec. 2015, and 99 山东大学学报 (医学版)55卷11期 -李媛媛,等.双源CT Flash扫描在心血管源性气道狭窄患儿诊断中的临床应用 \=-children were finally included in this study, including 40 males and 59 females. The mean age was 22 months and mean body weight was(10±7.7)kg. The dose length product(DLP)was recorded to calculate effective dose(ED). Images were analyzed by two experienced radiologists using a 5-grade scoring system subjectively with post-processing technique. The diagnostic criteria were adopted to determine airway constriction. Multiple planar reformation(MPR)and volume rendering(VR)were used to show the anatomic structures around the narrow segment, and to define the responsible anomalies and location of the airway constriction. The characteristics of pulmonary lesions were observed in lung window and minimum intensity projection(MinIP). Results The average DLP was(7.32±6.19)mGy·cm, and average ED was(0.39±0.20)mSv. All images were diagnosable. The two radiologists made good agreement(K=0.754, P<0.05). With different age groups, the younger the patients, the higher proportion of cardiovascular airway constriction and pulmonary anomalies(Z=-3.83, P<0.001). Of all 99 children, a total of 104 constrictions were diagnosed as tracheobronchial compression caused by vascular abnormalities, including pulmonary arterial hypertension in 38 cases(36.5%), coarctation of aorta in 32 cases(30.8%), right-sided aortic arch in 14 cases(13.5%), innominate artery tracheal compression in 12 cases(11.5%), pulmonary artery sling in 6 cases(5.8%), double aortic arch in 1 case(1.0%)and left atrial enlargement in 1 case(1.0%). Secondary pulmonary lesions were also detected, including ground glass opacity in 36 cases, consolidation in 19 cases, emphysema in 66 cases and post-obstructive pulmonary atelectasis in 7 cases. The difference between the different types of primary heart diseases and the locations of the airway constriction was statistically significant(P<0.001). Airway constrictions caused by congenital heart disease were most likely to occur on the left main bronchus. Conclusion Flash spiral acquisition by dual-source CT can diagnose congenital heart disease with airway compression simultaneously, and provide information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To compare the value of Mini-Nutritional Assessment(MNA)and the Short-Form Mini-Nutritional Assessment(MNA-SF)in evaluating the nutritional status of the elderly in community. Methods A total of 576 elderly ≥60 years in Jinan City were randomly selected. MNA and MNA-SF were used to evaluate the nutritional status of the population. The anthropometric parameters and laboratory indexes were also measured. Results MNA took 10 min to complete while MNA-SF only needed 3 min. MNA showed that the proportion of adequate nutritional status was 79.93%, and that of potential malnutrition was 20.07%, and no malnutrition was found. MNA-SF showed that the proportion of adequate nutritional status was 80.48% and that of malnutrition was 19.52%. Both of them were positively correlated with BMI, MAC, CC, WC, HC, TSF, SSF, ALB and other traditional nutritional evaluation indicators(r=0.001-0.530, P<0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficient between MNA and MNA-SF scores was 0.823(P< 山东大学学报 (医学版)55卷11期 -张欢欢,等.利用微型营养评价法和微型营养评价精法评价社区老年人的营养状况 \=-0.05). The Spearman correlation coefficient between MNA and MNA-SF was 0.681(P<0.05). MNA and MNA-SF had good consistency in evaluating nutritional status(κ=0.681, P<0.001). With BMI<18.5 as the evaluation criteria of malnutrition, the sensitivity and specificity of MNA were 76.2% and 93.4% respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of MNA-SF were 93.4% and 100% respectively. Conclusion Both MNA and MNA-SF can be used to evaluate the nutritional status of elderly from community, and MNA-SF is more simple, rapid and effective.

Objective To investigate the relationship between extreme temperatures and daily number of cardiovascular deaths in Jinan City, and to provide theoretical basis for preventive measures. Methods Data of daily number of cardiovascular deaths and meteorological variables over the period of 2011-2014 were collected. Cold spells / Heat waves were defined as ≥3 consecutive days with mean temperature ≤5th percentile or ≥95th percentile, respectively. The time-series adjusted Poisson regression was adopted to assess the effects of extreme temperatures on cardiovascular deaths by controlling for lagged effects and other confounders. Results A clear seasonal distribution of daily number of cardiovascular deaths was observed. Extreme temperatures significantly increased the daily number of cardiovascular deaths(P<0.01). Both cold spell and heat wave significantly increased the risk of deaths with RR=1.06(95%CI: 1.03-1.10)and RR=1.03(95%CI: 1.00-1.06), respectively(P<0.05). The elderly group(≥65 years)was more vulnerable to heat wave exposure, while all population regardless of age and gender were vulnerable to cold spell. 山东大学学报 (医学版)55卷11期 -韩京,等.极端气温对济南市心脑血管疾病死亡的影响 \=- Conclusion Both could spells and heat waves increase the risk of daily cardiovascular death in Jinan City.
