ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pathogens in foodborne disease cases in Haining City， Zhejiang Province， and to provide a basis for the prevention and investigation of foodborne diseases and outbreak events. MethodsInformation on foodborne disease patients from 2014 to 2023 was collected， and stool or anal swab samples were tested for relevant pathogens. The χ² test was used to compare the differences in pathogen detection rates among different groups， and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for pathogen detection. ResultsA total of 5 814 samples were tested， with a positive detection rate of 15.36%. The detection rates were 4.95% for norovirus， 4.49% for Escherichia coli， 3.59% for Salmonella， 2.22% for Vibrio parahaemolyticus， and 0.11% for Shigella. The positive detection rates showed seasonal characteristics， with a minor peak in March-April dominated by norovirus and a major peak in July-September dominated by bacteria. The three groups with the highest detection rates were workers， white-collar workers and other groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age， season， and antibiotic use before consultation were significant influencing factors for pathogen detection （P<0.05）. Total pathogen detection risk was lower in the group that took antibiotics before visiting the clinic compared to those who did not （OR=0.29， 95%CI： 0.15‒0.49）. The detection risk for norovirus was lower in the preschool age group （OR=0.19， 95%CI： 0.04‒1.00）， in summer and autumn （OR range 0.23‒0.41）， and in the group taking antibiotics （OR=0.42， 95%CI： 0.15‒0.92）， but higher in the adolescent group （OR=1.40， 95%CI： 1.05‒1.88）. The detection risk for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli was higher in summer （OR=1.82， 95%CI： 1.30‒2.60）. The detection risk for Salmonella increased in the elderly group and in summer （OR range 1.44‒2.21）， but decreased in the adolescent group， in winter， and in the group taking antibiotics （OR range 0.22‒0.65）. The detection risk for Vibrio parahaemolyticus increased in summer and autumn （OR range 1.80‒1.90）， but decreased in the primary and secondary school student group and in winter （OR range 0.10‒0.32）. ConclusionThe prevalence of foodborne disease pathogens in Haining City is relatively high. Age， season， and antibiotic use before consultation are independent influencing factors for pathogen detection. These findings suggest that specific hypotheses regarding pathogenic factors can be proposed based on the time of occurrence and the age distribution of cases during field investigations of foodborne outbreaks.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of methotrexate(MTX)in the treatment of rheuma-toid arthritis,and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline,EMBase,Cochrane Library,PubMed,CJFD,CBM,VIP and Wanfang Database,randomized controlled trials(RCT)about MTX in the treatment of rheu-matoid arthritis were collected,Meta-analysis was performed after data extraction and quality evaluation. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:33 effectiveness evaluation were included,involving 8 253 patients,and 53 safety evaluation were included,involving 4 803 patients. Results of analysis show,the efficacy of MTX was not higher than leflunomide in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis,superi-or to cyclosporine A,and similar to sulfasalazine. In addition,MTX shows similar efficacy with etanercept(7.5-20 mg per week),goli-mumab,adalimumab or rituximab,but less effective than trastuzumab. The incidence of adverse reactions of MTX is high,but mainly mild or moderate,and the most common adverse reactions are gastrointestinal symptoms. Oral administration of MTX is more secure than intramuscular injection and subcutaneous injection.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical efficacy for the treatment of proximal humeurs fractures in elderly patients between the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with less invasive stabilization system (LISS) and the open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking compression plate (LCP).

METHODSFrom June 2008 to June 2011, 40 elderly patients suffering from proximal humeurs fractures were divided into two groups: 20 cases in minimally invasive group and 20 cases in routine group. Mini-incision approach from the lateral shoulder (minimally invasive group) and LISS can be chosen. It was short for MIPO. The antero-medial incision was used in routine group, LCP can be chosen in the method of ORIF. The operation time, the blood loss, the incision length, soreness at 1st, 3rd and 7th days after operation were recorded. The postoperative Neer score, the healing time of bone were recorded. The curative effects were compared according to Neer score system.

RESULTSThe mean operation times were (133.60 +/- 8.90) min and (132.70 +/- 8.41) min in minimally invasive group and routine group (P > 0.05). The blood losses were (155.20 +/- 19.07) ml and (324.05 +/- 48.32) ml (P < 0.05). The incision lengths were (8.15 +/- 1.89) cm and (13.05 +/- 1.95) cm (P < 0.05). The pain scores on the 1st,3rd and 7th days after operation were (6.20 +/- 2.39) and (8.33 +/- 3.01) (P < 0.05), (3.83 +/- 2.09) and (5.31 +/- 2.22) (P < 0.05), (1.22 +/- 0.89) and (3.13 +/- 1.75) (P < 0.05). The postoperative Neer scores were 93.16 +/- 2.55 and 80.31+/- 2.22 (P < 0.05) and the healing times of bone were (6.60 +/- 2.33) months and (8.93 +/- 3.41) months (P < 0.05). There were statistially differences in the blood losses, incision lengths, postoperative pain scores, postoperative Neer scores and the healing times of bone between two groups (P < 0.05). The operation time between the two groups had no statistically different (P > 0.05). According to Neer score system, 13 patients obtained an excellent results, 2 good, 5 fair in minimally invasive group; 6 patients obtained an excellent results, 5 good, 9 fair in routine group.

CONCLUSIONTo compare with the routine group of ORIF, MIPO with LISS has the advantages of small incision, easier operation, less blood loss and improved postoperative shoulder joint function recovery for treatment of proximal humeurs fracture in elderly patients. It is another better method of internal fixation.

BACKGROUND: Limb salvage operations with preservation of the epiphysis (LSPPE) had been used clinically in order to overcome discrepancy of affected limb and poorer limb function, but more post-operation complications existed, including infection, grafting bone resorption, fracture and internal fixation cinch.OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical related matters of inactivated bone replantation with preservation of the epiphysis in children limb salvage with osteosarcoma.DESIGN: Clinical observation regularly.SETTING: General Hospital of Jinan Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Eleven patients corresponded selected standard and accepted treatment from January 1999 to January distal metastasis was found with lung X-ray check and CT scanning, the patient would be excluded this study. There were 5 males, 6 females, and the mean age of (8±2) years old (4-11 years). The disease history was 1-6 months.FO) were adopted. After 2 weeks of chemotherapy, the operations of inactivated bone replantation with preservation of the epiphysis were performed. The operation was performed under epidural or general anesthesia. The patient lied on operating table. The knee anteriomedialis incision was adopted. Firstly, femur periosteum was opened beyond proximal end 2-3 cm from tumor, subperiosteum stripping was done to the proximal femur, descend femur with wire saw, separated and disconnected aboral periosteum, blunt dissecting femur aboral blood vessel and nerves to the popliteal fossa,deligating blood vessel around the tumor. Attachment of gastroenemius was cut off. Epiphyseal plate was identified carefully. According to pre-operation MR, the distal femur descend level was determined and the femur was descend with electro-saw. It was determined with cytology that no tumor cell existed in descend level, and reconstruction of bone de-fect with inactivated tumor-bone shell with 95% alcohol and bone cement containing ADR (20 g bone cement: 10 mg ADR), the diaphysis was fixed by intramedullary nail and screws were inserted in the residual epiphysis for the osteosynthesis of the distal osteotomy. One drainage tube was placed into and closed incision The affected limb was protected with plaster cast. Post-operative treatment: Regular usage of antibiotics was adopted to prevent infection. The drainage tube was pulled out when drainage amount ＜ 50 Ml/24 hours. The progressive passive exercise was initiated during the protection of affected limb with plaster cast for 8 weeks. Twelve to 14 days after operation, stitches were taken out. The postoperative chemotherapy then initiated, drug and dosage were identified on the response to the preoperative chemotherapy. Eight weeks after operation, patients were permitted to walk with the protection of double crutches and ery analysis: To observe ncision healing and existing of nerve and blood vessel injure, or not. During follow-up, patient recoveries were determined with affected knee function, limb length, distal metastasis, post-operative complications and dynamic imaging inspection of bone healing.imaging inspection of bone healing.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The response to chemotherapy was evaluated with tumor cell necrosis rate. ② Post-operative recovery was determined with parameters such as knee function, limb length, distal metastasis, etc. ③ Dynamic imaging inspection of bone healing.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The response to chemotherapy was evaluated with tumor cell necrosis rate. ② Post-operative recovery was determined with parameters such as knee function, limb length, distal metastasis, etc. ③ Dynamic imaging inspection of bone healing.RESULTS:All patients in this study were done follow-up.①The histological response of 11 patients to preoperative chemotherapy were classified as 7 in gradeⅣ,4 ingrade Ⅲ.②Post-operation recovery:No nerve and blood vessel injury existed and all incision healed well,there was not incision infection and healing.Eleven patients were followed-up from 10 to 72 months.Three patients could flexed affected knee joint ≥110,90-110 in 3 cases,60-90 in 4 cases,＜60 in one patient .The length of both lower extremity equaled in 4 cases,the length of affected limb was shorter than 2.0 cm in 5 cases,2.0-3.0 cm in 2 cases. One patient with recurrence,two with metastasis,three died.Screw cinch in one patient and one patient with inactivated bone fracture. ③Dynamic imaging inspection: No recurrence was found around epiphysis. Essential bone healing existed between the inactivated bone and epiphysis,callus formation between the inactivated bone and diaphysis at 2 months after operation; more callus formed and 4 months; 6 months after operation,bone complete healing was found between the inactivated bone and diaphysis.④Post-operation recovery:During follow-up, a screw cinch was found in one patient, and dislodged the screw because of bone healing well. One patient underwent open reduction, bone grafting and internal fixation with encircle device because of inactivated bone fracture.four months of the operation, grafting bone healed well. At post-operative 24 months, the length of both lower extremities equaled and the affected knee flexed to 110°.CONCLUSION: Inactivated bone replantation with preserving epiphysis for osteosarcoma in children was propitious to recover limb function and keep limb length.

PurposeTo investigate the feasibility and clinical value of 3.0T MRI iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) technique in imaging normal lumbosacral nerve roots.Materials and Methods Twenty-five healthy volunteers and 15 patients with lumbosacral pain were examined on MR scanner using IDEAL sequence thin-layer coronal scanning and reconstruction technique. The evaluation of bilateral lumbosacral nerve roots from L1 to S1 included the detection rate of lumbosacral nerve roots, the length of preganglionic nerve, the width and length of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and the length of nerve root sheath.Results The anatomic structure and the contour of spinal nerve roots were well demonstrated on IDEAL sequence imaging, with 100% detection rate for preganglionic nerve and DRGs of nerves from L1 to S1 level, as well as the structures posterior to the ganglions from L3 to S1 level. The structures posterior to the ganglions at L1 to L2 level were shown as grade I in 12% and 42%, grade II in 16% and 32%, grade III in 72% and 26%. The length of preganglionic nerve, DRGs and nerve root sheath from L1 to S1 were gradually increased (P<0.05 orP<0.001). Normal lumbosacral nerve roots appeared as isointense linear structure in the nerve canals.ConclusionIDEAL sequence can depict the anatomic structure of the lumbosacral nerve roots and provide reference standards for lumbosacral nerve roots compression.

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic significance of non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NCE-MRA) for lower extremity arterial stenosis on a 3.0T MR scanner, in order to provide a reliable method for clinical application. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with arterial disease in lower extremity underwent NCE-MRA before contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA). Image quality of the two methods was compared. The diagnostic accuracy for significant stenosis ( ≥50%) of NCE-MRA was assessed using CE-MRA as a golden standard. The consistency of the two methods in diagnosis of significant stenosis ( ≥ 50%) was analyzed. Results All patients successfully underwent both NCE-MRA and CE-MRA examination. There were 532 arterial segments detected by NCE-MRA. In the calf region, venous artifacts presented more frequently on CE-MRA (Z=4.92, P<0.01), while in the abdominal and the femoral regions, venous artifacts presented more frequently on NCE-MRA (Z=4.58 and 3.56, P<0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of NCE-MRA for the diagnosis of significant stenosis ( ≥ 50%) were 97.89%, 97.69%, 97.74%, 93.92% and 99.22%, respectively. There was good agreement (Kappa=0.94, P<0.05) between the two methods. Conclusion For the imaging of lower extremity arterial stenosis, NCE-MRA shows similar image quality and diagnostic accuracy with CE-MRA, thus can be used as an alternative method for lower extremity arterial stenosis in patients who have renal insufficiency or other contraindication of contrast media.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of serum free light chain (sFLC) in primary systemic(AL) amyloidosis. Methods Twenty-five patients with AL amyloidosis,including 18 men and 7 women with a mean age of 54(47-77) years old, were enrolled from October, 2005to May, 2010. sFLC was measured by immunoturbidimetric assay. The type of monoclonal light chain was judged upon sFLC κ/λ and its sensibility was compared with serum immunofixation and immunohistochemical analysis. Four patients were treated with M (T)D (melphalan/thalidomideand, dexamethasone), one with VD (velcade and dexamethasone) and four with high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell support. The changes of sFLC were serially determined before and after treatment. Results Among the 25 patients with AL amyloidosis, two were κ light chains of precursor protein and 23 were λ light chains. Mean plasma cell in bone marrow was 3.5% (0-15%). Nineteen (76%) patients had abnormal elevated sFLC and abnormal κ/λ ratios, and 17(68% ) patients with immunofixation positive. The sFLC test had similar sensitivity as serum immunofixation (P = 0. 727 ). Twenty-one (84%) patients were shown to have either κor λ immunoreactive amyloid deposits on biopsied tissues. The sFLC test combined with serum immunofixation allowed the M protein to be detected in 22 (88%) patients. The positive rates of immunohistochemical analysis combined with sFLC test and/or serum immunofixation were 96%. Four patients with hematologic response showed obvious improvement in visceral organ involvement, but illness of 5 patients without hematologic response kept stable or progressed. Conclusions sFLC test is a sensitive qualitative and quantitative method to detect M protein. Preliminary data show the patients with obvious sFLC level decrease and/or κ/λ recovery to normal may have a high percentage of improved organs function. sFLC is critical index in diagnosing AL amyloidosis, which might help efficacy assessment.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effects of arthroscopic debridement versus open debridement on controlling and treatment of infection after total knee replacement.

METHODSFrom October 2009 to September 2016 in three hospitals, 11 patients with 11 joints which were infected after total knee replacement were randomly divided into two groups:5 cases in arthroscopy group and 6 cases in routine group. Patients in arthroscopy group were treated with arthroscopic debridement to remove the necrotic tissues, then closed-type irrigation with sensitive antibiotics by using two sebific ducts were performed continuously for 2 or 3 weeks until the flushing fluid became clear for 3 or 5 days;other 6 patients in routine group were treated with open surgical debridement and the following procedures in keeping with those in the arthroscopy group. Operation time, blood loss and incision length were recorded during the operation, and pain scores were recorded on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after the operation. The curative effects were evaluated according to the Hospital for Special Surgery score system.

RESULTSThe local and general symptoms of the 11 patients disappeared, and the test outcomes of biochemistry, blood and synovial fluid were normal. All patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 to 18 months. Infection recurrences were observed in 1 case of arthroscopy group and 2 cases of routine group 3 months later after operation, and all these patients who underwent the second time operation with arthroscopic debridement were cured. According to the Hospital for Special Surgery score system, 3 cases obtained excellent result, 2 good, no poor and bad cases in arthroscopy group;3 cases obtained excellent result, 1 good, 1 poor and 1 bad in routine group.

CONCLUSIONSIf the sensitive antibiotics can be found for the infected joints without obvious destruction of bone and no prosthesis loosening, it has a better therapeutic effect by using arthroscopic debridement combined with continuous drainage and irrigation. The method has a better curative effect with smaller trauma.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of miR-581 on the autophagy of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. Methods miR-581 mimics and miR-581 NC were transfected into SKOV3 cells, and the transfection efficiency was detected by qRT-PCR. After successful transfection, Western blot was used to detect autophagy-related proteins expression in SKOV3 cells. TargetScanHuman database predicted miR-581 target genes, and Western blot verified the role of miR-581 and target genes. Results Overexpression of miR-581 significantly inhibited the expression of autophagy-related proteins LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin1 (P < 0.01); miR-581 negatively regulated FOXO1 expression (P < 0.01) and FOXO1 promoted autophagy of SKOV3 cells (P < 0.01). Conclusion miR-581 affects the autophagy of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells by regulating the expression of FOXO1.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, endoscopic characteristics, and prognostic factors of patients with colorectal extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma.Methods:The clinical data of 52 patients with colorectal extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Their clinical manifestations and endoscopic characteristics were summarized, and the prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox regression model.Results:Among the 52 patients with colorectal extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, there were 35 males and 17 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.06∶1. Among the general symptoms, abdominal pain was the most common (39 cases), and B symptoms occurred in 47 patients, among which fever was the most common lymphoma B symptom (42 cases), and gastrointestinal perforation was the most common complication (18 cases). Forty-three patients underwent colonoscopy, and the main manifestations under endoscopy were the ulceration type (24 cases). The ulcers were irregular at the edges and often covered with moss at the bottom. The median survival time was 4.3 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hemocytic syndrome ( HR=8.50,95% CI: 1.679-8.328, P=0.001), serum albumin ( HR=3.59,95% CI: 1.017-6.551, P=0.048), and with or without chemotherapy ( HR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.246-1.061, P=0.025) were independent factors influencing the overall survival of patients with colorectal extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. Conclusions:Colorectal extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma is a rare disease with a very poor prognosis. When patients present with abdominal pain and lymphoma B symptoms, and when ulcers with irregular edges and moss covering the bottom are found under endoscopy, the disease should be considered, and endoscopic biopsy should be taken in time for pathological diagnosis. The prognosis of patients with hemophagocytic syndrome and hypoproteinemia is poor. This disease should be treated with chemotherapy and surgery, and on this basis, hemophagocytic syndrome and hypoproteinemia should be treated to improve the prognosis of patients.
