Clinical manifestation, lifestyle, and treatment patterns of chronic erosive gastritis: A multicenter real-world study in China.

Background: Although chronic erosive gastritis (CEG) is common, its clinical characteristics have not been fully elucidated. The lack of consensus regarding its treatment has resulted in varied treatment regimens.

Aim: To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and short-term outcomes in CEG patients in China.

Chemotherapy effect on myocardial fibrosis markers in patients with gynecologic cancer and low cardiovascular risk.

Background: Patients with gynecologic cancers experience side effects of chemotherapy cardiotoxicity. We aimed to quantify cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) markers of myocardial fibrosis in patients with gynecologic cancer and low cardiovascular risk who undergo chemotherapy.

Methods: This study is part of a registered clinical research.

Myocardial edema during chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies: A cardiac magnetic resonance T2 mapping study.

Objective: Myocardial edema is an early manifestation of chemotherapy-related myocardial injury. In this study, we used cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T2 mapping to assess myocardial edema and its changes during chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies.

Methods: We enrolled 73 patients receiving chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies, whose the latest cycle was within one month before the beginning of this study, and 41 healthy volunteers.

Myocardial microvascular function assessed by CMR first-pass perfusion in patients treated with chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies.

Objectives: Cancer chemotherapy potentially increases the risk of myocardial ischemia. This study assessed myocardial microvascular function by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass perfusion in patients treated with chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies.

Methods: A total of 81 patients treated with chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies and 39 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled and underwent CMR imaging.

Relationship between clinical features and intestinal microbiota in Chinese patients with ulcerative colitis.

Background: Dysbacteriosis may be a crucial environmental factor for ulcerative colitis (UC). Further study is required on microbiota alterations in the gastrointestinal tract of patients with UC for better clinical management and treatment.

Aim: To analyze the relationship between different clinical features and the intestinal microbiota, including bacteria and fungi, in Chinese patients with UC.

Ballistic thermal transport by phonons in three dimensional periodic nanostructures.

Ballistic thermal transport properties by phonons in three dimensional (3D) periodic nanostructures is investigated. Results show that thermal transport properties in 3D periodic nanostructures can be efficiently tuned by modulating structural parameters of systems. When the incident frequency is below the first cutoff frequency, the quasi/formal-periodic oscillations of the transmission coefficient versus the periodic number/length can be observed.

Cdc20 mediates D-box-dependent degradation of Sp100.

Cdc20 is a co-activator of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C complex), which recruits substrates at particular phases of the cell cycle and mediates their degradation. Sp100 is a PML-NB scaffold protein, which localizes to nuclear particles during interphase and disperses from them during mitosis, participates in viral resistance, transcriptional regulation, and apoptosis. However, its metabolism during the cell cycle has not yet been fully characterized.

[Clinical and pathological analysis on ovarian granulosa cell tumors].

Objective: To identify different clinical and pathological features for adult and juvenile granulosa cell tumors.

Methods: The clinical records of 42 patients with granulosa cell tumors of ovary, including pathological features, treatments and follow up results between April 2001 and September 2009 were reviewed.

Results: 1) There were 38 newly diagnosed cases after 2001, and 4 cases were relapsed cases diagnosed before 2001.

[The significance of HPV-DNA genotyping assays in the ASC].

Objective: To disscuss different outcomes of ASC-UC and ASC-H, two subtypes of ASC, and the significance of HPV-DNA genotyping assays in these two subtypes.

Methods: We reviewed and analyzed colposcopic and biopsy results of 1256 cases of ASC between Jan. 2005 to Dec.

[Clinical comparison of transvaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy].

Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics of transvaginal hysterectomy (TVH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Method: Clinical data about 301 cases who received TVH and TLH were collected and the hospital stay days, medical expenses, diagnoses, operation and recovery status were compared between TVH and TLH groups.

Results: The ratio of cervical atypical hyperplasia (9.

[Expression of PDCD5 in tissues of normal cervix, CIN I-III and cervical cancer].

Objective: To investigate the expression of PDCD5 in tissues of normal cervix, CIN I-III, cervical cancer and explore the relationship between PDCD5 and cervical cancer.

Methods: After we defined the most fitful condition, tissues from 18 cases of normal cervix, 19 of CIN I, 18 of CIN II, 20 of CIN III and 18 of cervical cancer were defined by indirect immunohistochemical technique. Positive expression rates and intensity of PDCD5 protein were investigated by observing under microscope and analyzing with computer imaging technique.
