Objective To investigate effects of CO_2 pneumoperitoneum,helium pneumoperitoneum,and laparotomy on(port-)site and visceral metastasis in BALB/c nude mice bearing human colon cancer xenografts.Methods A nude mouse model with human colon cancer LoVo cell line xenografts was used.The mice were randomly divided into four groups: CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,Open Surgery Group,and Control Group.A biopsy was performed in the former 3 groups,and the Control Group received no surgical intervention. Results All the mice were sacrificed for pathological examinations.Orthotopic tumor xenograft was successfully established in all the mice of the four groups(100%,86/86).The rates of port-site metastasis were 9.5%(2/21) in the CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,9.1%(2/22) in the Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,and 19.0%(4/21) in the Open Surgery Group,respectively,without significant differences among the three groups(?~2=1.227,P=0.541).The rates of liver metastasis were 38.1%(8/21) in the CO_2 Pneumoperitoneum Group,31.8%(7/22) in the Helium Pneumoperitoneum Group,52.4%(11/21) in the Open Surgery Group,and 31.8%(7/22) in the Control Group,respectively,without significant differences among the four groups(?~2=2.543,P=0.468).Conclusions As compared with laparotomy and control groups,artificial pneumoperitoneum doesn't cause an increase of rates of port-site and visceral metastasis.Moreover,there is no significant difference between CO_2 pneumoperitoneum and helium pneumoperitoneum in rates of port-site and visceral metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of living related kidney transplants (LRKT). Methods Retrospectively clinical results of 25 LRKT were reviewed and analyzed. Results Living related donors underwent nephrectomy without any complications and the donors have had normal renal function on follow up studies.All the renal grafts survived.Two recipients experienced delayed graft function recovery,Both the patients and the grafts have been surviving. Conclusions The patient and graft survival rates of LRDT are better than cadaveric donor transplantation.Living related donor serves as an alternate way of kidney source.

We summarized the epidemiological investigation results of the first case of human infection with avian influenza A(H9N2) virus in Chengdu,China,in order to provide references for dealing with similar diseases scientifically in the future.The methods of field epidemiology and laboratory testing were used to collect the H9N2 case's clinical and epidemiological data,as well as collect and test the samples of the H9N2 case and the relevant environment,so that the possible sources of infection,the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features could be analyzed.Results showed that the H9N2 case contacted with poultry within 10 days before the onset of illness and the H9N2 virus nucleic acid was detected in the patient's specimen by PCR.This case suffered from several chronic diseases for a long time,although active treatments were taken this time,she died soon after onset.Her living environment,the chicken leftovers from cooking,and surrounding poultry markets were polluted by H9 avian influenza virus.Through the investigation,we could deduce that the infection source of this case was the chicken infecting H9N2 viruses from surrounding poultry markets.This would be the first fatality associated with influenza A (H9N2) virus infections in humans.And though avian influenza A(H9N2) virus was low pathogenic,infection could cause severe symptoms or death in people with severe underlying diseases.

ObJective To discuss the causes,diagnosis,treatment and outcomes of renal artery aneurysm(RAA). Methods Duriog August 1998 and December 2004,1251 patients underwent rehal transplantation,and 5 men(mean age,43)who received end-to-end anastomose from renal graft artery to the internal iliac artery were found to develop RAA.The main complains included aggravated renal function,sudden oliguria or anuria,hypertension and allograft pain.Color Doppler flow and digital subtraction angiography were used to confirm aneurysm.Size of the RAA were 1.8 cm×2.0 cm×2.0 am to 4.0 cm×4.0 cm×5.0 cm. Results Two aneurysms were located at the anastomotic stoma.One patient who lost renal function 1 month after the aneurysm was diagnosed received nephrectomy,regular hemodialysis,and another renal transplantation 1 year later.The other patient successfully underwent cadaver transplantation without removing the original renal allograft after the renal dysfunction occurred.The renal function remained normal during 2 years'follow-up.Two renal artery aneurysm cases also accompanied with proximate renal artery stenosis.One patient was treated with balloon dilatation and stent implantation,and normal renal function was observed during 1 years followup. Another patient had graft removed and underwent retransplantation.The renal function was excellent during 3 years'follow-up.Atherosclerotic plaque within internal iliac artery anastomotic stoma,which lead to artery stenosis and aneurysm,was found in 1 patient.Two days after the renal allograft was removed,this patient died of brainstem embolism. Conclusions End-to-end anastomose from renal graft artery to the internal iliac artery seems to be related with postoperative complications.Patients with confirmed RAA should be cautiously managed.Retransplantation and interventional thera PY may be the choice.

OBJECTIVETo study pathogeny, diagnosis and treatment of ureter fistula after renal transplantation.

METHODSThe clinical data from 30 cases after renal transplantations were analyzed.

RESULTSFour patients received conservative treatment, and 2 repairment of the fistula. Eleven patients had resection of the ureter or adjustment of the kidney, followed by the anastomosis of the ureter and bladder again. After the turning of the bladder's lamella, 13 patients were given 20 - 24 Foley's tube connecting the pelvis and bladder and nine of them were not subjected to re-anastomosis waiting for the pelvis crawling to the bladder as a tunnel. The one-year survival rates for 30 cases and kidneys was 96.7% (29/30) and 86.7% (26/30) respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThere a lot of causes for ureter which are fistula, running related to every aspect of transplantation. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prognosis. Most patients need reanastomosis. According to the blood stream, edema, length of the ureter, operative procedures are selected to ensure free of strain.

Objective: To explore the associations of Hand-Foot-Mouth disease (HFM) among children of different age groups in kindergartens, and to provide scientific evidence for HFM prevention and control. Methods: Cluster sampling was used to select 9 912 children from 40 kindergartens. The major caregivers of children were invited to participate into the study and fulfill a self-administered questionnaire that consisted of general background, hand washing and the history of HFM among children in the recent 1 year. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were applied,to analyze the influencing factors of HFM among children of different age groups. Results: In the 2 year-old-group, children who were male (OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.24-2.50), had the major caregiver with high school educational background or below (OR=1.54, 95%CI=1.06-2.24), had family income more than 100 000 yuan or more per year(OR=1.49, 95%CI=1.01-2.20), children whose major caregiver seldom wash hands immediately after coming home(OR=2.10, 95%CI=1.05-4.19)，and 3-5 times per week(OR=2.07, 95%CI=1.26-3.41) were more likely to have HFM. In the 3 year-old-group, the more time children spent in the outdoors, the less likely they got HFM(3-5 times per week: OR=0.58, 95%CI=0.43-0.81; ≥6 times per week: OR=0.45, 95%CI=0.29-0.70). Children whose major caregiver did not use soap were more likely to have HFM(OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.11-2.49). In the 4 year-old-group, children who occasionally took toys when going out were less likely to get HFM (vs always, OR=0.57, 95%CI=0.38-0.88). No significant factors were found in the 5 year-old-group. Conclusion The behaviors and activities of major caregivers and children could influence the HFM incidence.To prevent HFM, it was advised that the major caregivers should wash hands immediately after coming home, and develop the habit of using soap for handwashing together with children at the earlier age, and encourage children to take more outside-door activities according to the age characteristics. Attention should be paid to avoid contaminating takeout snacks, and to clean the takeout toys timely.

Objective: To analyze the features of Norovirus outbreaks in schools and kindergartens and the associated factors in Chengdu, 2017, and to provide the scientific basis for Norovious outbreaks prevention and control. Methods: A total of 75 schools and kindergartens in Chengdu of 2017 participated in the study about Norovirus outbreaks. ANOVA and binary Logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors and duration of Norovirus outbreaks. Results: Overall 710 cases were included. There was an average of 9.47 cases and 27.52 hours for each outbreak,decreasing by 1.06 cases and 10.56 hours compared with those of 2016. Most outbreaks happened in kindergartens and in the firstlevel economy regions from January to March, with GII type as the main outbreak. Compared with the first case of vomiting at home, vomiting in public area (OR=11.76, 95%CI=1.63-84.69) was much more serious, and compared with the active report of school/ community, being informed of the outbreak passively (OR=4.09，95%CI=1.04-16.03) was positively associated with outbreak severity. Conclusion To prevent Norovirus infection, specific development and training of dealing with vomiting and feces should be introduced, and measures to increase the ability to surveil and report Norovirus outbreaks should be enhanced.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of the percentage of Tie 2-expressing monocytes(TEMs)in CD14+CD16+monocytes of peripheral blood from hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients with negative AFP and tumor size≤3 cm.Methods Flow Cytometry(FCM)was used to determine the percentage of TEMs in CD14+CD16+monocytes of peripheral blood from patients with HCC(n=82), liver cirrhosis(n=29), chronic hepatitis B(n=28), and healthy controls(n=31).Abbott i2000 microparticle chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer was used to determine the plasma alpha -fetoprotein (AFP)levels.The difference among multi groups was analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis H test.Two independent groups were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test.The chi-square test was used in the rate comparison.The correlation between TEMs and AFP was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Morever, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC-AUC), sensitivity and specificity of TEMs or AFP in differentiating HCC, HCC with AFP negative or tumor size≤3 cm were analyzed.Results The percentage of TEMs in CD14 +CD16 +monocytes of peripheral blood from HCC or HCC with negative AFP or HCC with tumor size≤3 cm was significantly higher than that in patients with liver cirrhosis,chronic hepatitis B and healthy controls(P<0.05).ROC-AUC of TEMs and AFP in the diagnosis of HCC were 0.701(95% CI 0.626-0.768)and 0.712(95% CI 0.638-0.779) respectively.When the cut-off values of TEMs and AFP were 4.95%and 20 μg/L,the sensitivities of TEMs and AFP were 71.95%and 45.12%,and the specificities of TEMs and AFP were 70.45%and 85.23%. The sensitivity of TEMs in the diagnosis of HCC was significantly higher than that of AFP(χ2=12.16,P=0.000).The specificity of AFP was significantly higher than that of TEMs(χ2=5.57,P=0.018).There was a highest sensitivity(89.02%)in TEMs/AFP method,and there was a highest specificity(93.18%) in TEMs+AFP method in the diagnosis of HCC.There was no significant difference between the ROC-AUC for the TEMs and the AFP in the diagnosis of 26 patients with tumor size≤3 cm HCC(0.776 vs 0.645,Z=1.805,P=0.071),TEMs/AFP had the highest sensitivity(84.62%),while TEMs+AFP had the highest specificity(93.18%)in the diagnosis of tumor size≤3cm HCC.The ROC-AUC for the TEMs in the diagnosis of 45 patients with AFP negative HCC was 0.739(95%CI 0.648-0.829).The sensitivity and specificity of TEMs were 80.0% and 70.45% respectively.There was no correlation between the level of plasma AFP and the percentage of TEMs(r=-0.169, P=0.129)determined by Spearmans rank correlation coefficient.Conclusions TEMs is valuable in the diagnosis of HCC with negative AFP and tumor size≤3cm,and the two tests of TEMs and AFP can complement each other in the diagnosis of patients with HCC.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of holographic image navigation in urological laparoscopic and robotic surgery.Methods The data of patients were reviewed retrospectively for whom accepted holographic image navigation laparoscopic and robotic surgery from Jan.2019 to Dec.2019 in Beijing United Family Hospital and other 18 medical centers,including 78 cases of renal tumor,2 cases of bladder cancer,2 cases of adrenal gland tumor,1 cases of renal cyst,1 case of prostate cancer,1 case of sweat gland carcinoma with lymph node metastasis,1 case of pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy.All the patients underwent operations.In the laparoscopic surgery group,there were 27 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of radical prostatectomy,2 cases of radical cystectomy and 2 cases of adrenalectomy.In the da Vinci robotic surgery group of 54 cases,there were 51 cases of partial nephrectomy,1 case of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection,1 case of retroperitoneal bilateral renal cyst deroofing and 1 case of resection of pelvic metastasis.There were 41 partial nephrectomy patients with available clinical data for statistic,with a median age of 53.5 years (range 24-76),including 26 males and 15 females.The median R.E.N.A.L score was 7.8 (range 4-11).Before the operation,the engineers established the holographic image based on the contrast CT images and reports.The surgeon applied the holographic image for preoperative planning.During the operation,the navigation was achieved by real time fusing holographic images with the laparoscopic surgery images in the screen.Results All the procedures had been complete uneventfully.The holographic images helped surgeon in understanding the visual three-dimension structure and relation of vessels supplying tumor or resection tissue,lymph nodes and nerves.By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally,the fused image guide surgeons about location vessel,lymph node and other important structure and then facilitate the delicate dissection.For the 41 cases with available clinical data including 23 cases of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and 18 cases of laparoscopic nephrectomy,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-225) min,the median warm ischemia time was 23 (range 14-60) min,the median blood loss was 80(range 5-1 200) ml.In the robotic surgery group,the median operation time was 140 (range 50-215)min,the median warm i schemia time was 21 (range 17-40)min,the median blood loss was 150(range 30-1 200)ml.In the laparoscopic surgery group,the median operation time was 160(range 80-225)min,the median warm ischemia time was 25 (range 14-60)min,the median blood loss was 50 (range 5-1 200) ml.All the patients had no adjacent organ injury during operation.There were 2 cases with Clavien Ⅱ complications.One required transfusion and the other one suffered hematoma post-operation.However,the tumors were located in the renal hilus for these 2 cases and the R.E.N.A.L scores were both 11.Conclusions Holographic image navigation can help location and recognize important anatomic structures during the surgical procedures..This technique will reduce the tissue injury,decrease the complications and improve the success rate of surgery.

ObjectiveTo determine whether HBV DNA polymerase is associated with T-cell failure and thus mediates the immune escape of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） tumor cells， and to investigate the specific molecular mechanisms. MethodsLiver cancer cell lines Huh7 and HepG2 stably transfected with HBV DNA polymerase expression plasmid with Flag （Flag-HBV-P） and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM1） were co-cultured with Jurkat cells， and MTT assay， qRT-PCR， and ELISA were used to measure Jurkat cell proliferation， activation （CD69 expression）， and secretion of the cytokine IFN-γ. RNA-seq was used to screen for differentially expressed immune-associated molecules between stably transfected cell lines and control cells， and mRNA half-life and protein half-life assays were used to determine the specific levels of the immune-associated molecules that were affected by HBV DNA polymerase. Related websites were used to predict the transcription factors that may bind to the promoter region of this immune-associated molecule， Western blot was used to verify the effect of transcription factors on the immune-associated molecule， and rescue experiment was used to determine whether HBV DNA polymerase affects the expression level of the immune-associated molecule through this transcription factor. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsThe experimental group had significant reductions in Jurkat cell proliferation， activation， and cytokine secretion compared with the control group （all P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the experimental group （Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines） had significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of ICAM1 （all P<0.01）. Website prediction identified the ICAM1 promoter and preliminarily highlighted NFKB1， RELA， and STAT3. Compared with the control group， the experimental group （Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines） had a significant reduction in the protein expression level of p65 （all P<0.01）. After p65 overexpression， there was a significant increase in the protein expression level of ICAM1， and after the expression of p65 was reduced， there was a significant reduction in the protein expression level of ICAM1 （all P<0.01）. In the rescue experiment， there was no significant difference in the protein expression level of ICAM1 between the control group and the experimental group after p65 overexpression （all P>0.05）. After the overexpression of ICAM1， there were no significant differences in the proliferation， activation， and cytokine secretion of Jurkat cells between the control group and the experimental group （Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines） （all P>0.05）. ConclusionHBV DNA polymerase downregulates the level of ICAM1 to mediate HCC immune escape by inhibiting the expression of p65 in NF-κB.
