Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognostic factors of postoperative recurrent-metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with postoperative recurrent-metastatic GIST between January 1997 and December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively , and the prognostic factors were evalutated. Results Initial recurrence-metastasis was diagnosed after a median of 17.3 months from primary resection. Of the 56 cases, 19 cases received resection, 8 cases received imatinib targeted therapy,14 cases were treated by imatinib targeted therapy and surgery, the 3 year survival rates were 65% ,66% ,89% respectively. The rate of recurrence-metastasis after reoperation is 76%. Univariate analysis revealed that surgery, targeted therapy and age were related to the survival rates, multivariate analysis demonstrated that surgery and targeted therapy were the independent prognostic factors for survival. Conclusions For recurrent-metastatic GIST, a multimodal approach including surgery and targeted therapy improves survival.

Objective To investigate the injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on human renal tubular epithelial cell (HKC) and its effect on calcium oxalate (CaOxa) crystal crystallization time before and after the injury. Methods The injury degree of HKC by H2O2 was measured by detecting the cell survival rate and the concentration change of malonaldehyde (MDA). CaOxa crystallization was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results Control cells induced only a small amount of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) crystals, while the injured cells not only induced calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals, but also increased the number and aggregation of CaOxa crystals. After incubating with CaOxa supersaturated solution, the control group HKC cells could be injured as well. Conclusions H2O2 can cause oxidative damage on HKC. The injured HKC promotes the nucleation and aggregation of COM crystals. In the body environment, the long-term presence of crystals in urinary tract is a risk factor for stone formation.

Objective:To establish a method of serum detection by Raman spectroscopy for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.Methods:Between April and November 2019, 110 patients with gastric cancer [73 males, 37 females, age (57.4±10.3) years] and 74 patients with colorectal cancer [48 males and 26 females, aged (58.3±12.2) years] were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University, along with 100 healthy subjects [59 males and 41 females, aged (55.6±10.61) years] during the same period. Fasting venous blood serum samples were collected from the subjects. A Raman spectrometer XploRA PLUS was used in this experiment, with an excitation light source of 532 nm, a field of view of 100 times, and a spectrum range of 200-2 000 cm -1, etc. The serum samples were detected by nondestructive and non-contact rapid detection, and the Raman spectra of serum samples were collected. Using the Raman spectrum acquisition and processing supporting software LabSpec6 to smooth, baseline, and normalize the obtained Raman spectrum. Multivariate statistical analysis software SIMCA14.1 were applied to import and analyze the obtained Raman spectrum data by principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and other methods for statistical analysis. An operating characteristic curve (ROC) was constructed to evaluate the model analysis effect between serum samples of healthy people and those with gastric cancer. Serum samples from the colorectal cancer group were used to verify the reliability of the model. Results:Six Raman peaks with good repeatability were detected in serum samples in health and gastric cancer group, and peaks were located at 1 001.17, 1 154.63, 1 337.89, 1 446.85, 1 515.33, and 1 658.34 cm -1, respectively. Raman intensities at six Raman peaks were significantly different between healthy and gastric cancer groups. At the displacement of 1 001.17, 1 154.63, and 1 515.33 cm -1, the Raman intensity in the healthy group was higher than that in the gastric cancer group. At 1 337.89, 1 446.85, and 1 658.34 cm -1 displacement, the Raman intensity of the gastric cancer group was higher than that of the healthy group. An OPLS-DA model was constructed to analyze the serum samples of the healthy group and the gastric cancer group. In the model, R 2 is the fitting power, and Q 2 is the predictive ability. The closer the values of R 2 and Q 2 are to 1, the better the performance of the model, and the obtained model's R 2X(cum)=0.809, R 2Y(cum)=0.819, Q 2(cum)=0.758. ROC characteristic curve was drawn based on the OPLS-DA model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the gastric cancer group was 0.998. Six peaks with good repeatability were detected in the serum Raman spectra of gastric cancer stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, which were located at the displacement of 1 001.85, 1 155.07, 1 338.36, 1 445.75, 1 515.92, and 1 657.68 cm -1, respectively, and at the displacement of 1 155.07 and 1 515.92 cm -1. The Raman intensity of gastric cancer stage Ⅳwas significantly higher than that of gastric cancer stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ. Conclusions:According to the model reliability verification, the healthy group, gastric cancer group and colorectal cancer group can also be effectively separated based on OPLS-DA results; it showed a good performance in separating the healthy group from the gastric cancer group. It is possible to detect serum samples from healthy people and gastric cancer patients unlabeled by combining Raman spectroscopy and the OPLS-DA method in multivariate statistics.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic is the most widespread global pandemic in the past 100 years. Person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 infection leads to the major threat of human safety and health. At 00:00 on January 24th, 2020, Tianjin City launched the first-level response to the COVID-19 epidemic. At 18:00 on the same day, Management Committee of Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone of Tianjin received areport that there were 15 people who had fever on the Costa Crociere carrying 4 806 people from Japan back to the home port of Tianjin Dongjiang Cruise. At the same time, there are more than 140 Chinese Hubei tourists. Tianjin Municipal Committee and Government, Tianjin Customs, Binhai New Area District Committee Government, Tianjin Health Commission, Tianjin Binhai New Area Health Commission formed an emergency command center immediately to deal with the epidemic comprehensively. At 06:40 on January 25th, 2020, the medical investigation team made up by Tianjin Binhai New Area Health Commission and Tianjin East Administration of Customs boarded the cruise ship. With reference to the customs inspection and quarantine regulations, in accordance with the Diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus (trial version 3) for mulated by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China and the Novel coronavirus infected pneumonia port control and technology plan (first version) formulated by the General Administration of Customs, combined with the actual situation of cruise ships, the medical investigation team developed the inspection standards, including door-to-door inspections, temperature measurement and epidemiological investigations on all persons on board of the cruise ship. A total of 4 806 person-times were investigated in the affected area, including 3 706 tourists and 1 100 crew members. Seventeen people at high risk of COVID-19 were identified, including three Wuhan tourists. The reports of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) nucleic acid detection on throat swab samples for those who were identified as high risk were returned as all negative at 14:54 on the same day. At 19:30, the medical investigation team completed the investigation and evacuated the cruise ship. The temperature measurement, medical observation and resettlement of passenger were handed over to relevant personnel. After 2 weeks, the follow-up result of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid of 17 high risk people were all negative. The overall command and comprehensive coordination of the onshore command center together with the rigid principles and excellent responds ability of the on-site epidemic investigation team ensured the successful completion of the epidemic investigation work, and also provided reference for further improving the management and disposal capacity of public health emergencies at sea.
