This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of closing the small bowel in an ex vivo porcine model with high-frequency welding device. A total of 100 porcine small bowels were divided into two groups, and then were closed with two different methods. The fifty small bowels in experimental group were closed by the high-frequency welding device, and the other fifty small bowels in comparison group were hand-sutured. All the small bowels were subjected to leak pressure testing later on. The speed of closure and bursting pressure were compared. The 50 porcine small bowels closed by the high-frequency welding device showed a success rate of 100%. Compared with the hand-sutured group, the bursting pressures of the former were significantly lower (P<0.01) and the closing process was significantly shorter (P<0.01). The pathological changes of the closed ends mainly presented as acute thermal and pressure induced injury. Experimental results show that the high-frequency welding device has higher feasibility in closing the small bowel.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the adaptive cardio sequence prospective ECG-gated dual-source CT coronary angiography (CTCA).Methods Thirty one patients underwent prospective ECG-gated dual-source CTCA. The patients were divided into two groups: group A, heart rate ≤ 75 times / minutes, 70% of R-R interval was chose; group B, heart rate> 75 times / minutes, 40% of R-R interval was chose. Two experienced radiologists assessed the image quality of 15 segments of coronary arteries in a double blinded fashion in a four score scale. Student t test was used to compare the image quality between two groups. CT dose index(CTDIvol) and effective dose(ED) were also calculated for both groups. Results 437 segments of coronary arteries in 31 patients were included this analysis, 408 segments (93.4%) had assessable image quality, while 29 segments (6.6%) had non assessable image quality. Of 226 segments in group A, 12 segments (5.3%) had non assessable image quality; however, 17 segments (8.1%) of 211 segments in group B had non assessable image quality. The average score of image quality was 3.57±0.64 in 31 patients. There was no statistical difference for mean image quality of group A (3.65±0.39) and group B (3.41±0.43)( t=1.62,P=0.12 ) . There was a statistical difference for mean image quality for segment 10 on a per segment basis ( t = 3.8 ,P<0.05). CTDIvol and ED were (18.88±5.04) mGy and (4.31±1.05) mSv, respectively.Conclusion Adaptive cardio sequence prospective ECG-gated dual source CT can acquire assessable image quality of coronary artery with lower radiation dose to the patients, which has the potential to be a routine CTCA technique.

PURPOSE: Recent evidence suggests that B cells can both promote and inhibit the development and progression of allergic disease. However, the characteristics of B cell subsets in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) have not been well documented. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of B cell subsets in the peripheral blood of AR patients. METHODS: Forty-seven AR patients and 54 healthy controls were enrolled in this study, and the B cell subsets in peripheral blood of all subjects were analyzed by flow cytometry. Moreover, the serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgE concentrations secreted into the cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: We found the peripheral blood of AR patients contained higher percentages of memory B cells, plasma cells, and CD19+CD24hiCD27+ regulatory B cells (Bregs) than those of age-matched healthy controls (P < 0.05), while the percentages of naïve B cells and CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Bregs were significantly lower in AR patients than in healthy individuals (P < 0.05). In addition, the serum total IgE and IgE concentrations secreted into the cultured PBMCs were elevated in AR patients than in the healthy controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that AR patients were characterized by increase in terminally differentiated memory B cells or plasma cells and decreases in CD19+CD24hiCD38hi Breg cells in the peripheral blood.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of different dosing regimens of conbercept in the treatment of pathological myopic choroidal neovascularization(CNV).METHODS: Prospective clinical study. Totally 42 patients(42 eyes)who were diagnosed with pathological myopic CNV in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected in the study. According to two different initial dosing regimens, the patients were divided into 1+pro re nata(PRN)group, with 20 patients(20 eyes), and 3+PRN group with 22 patients(22 eyes). The patients in the 1+PRN group were given one intravitreal injection and then given PRN, the patients in the 3+PRN group were given intravitreal injection once a month for 3 mo and then given PRN. Followed-up for 12 mo after initial treatment, the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central macular thickness(CMT), CNV area and injection times were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The BCVA was improved, CMT was decreased, and CNV area was reduced at 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo after the initial treatment(P<0.01). However, there was no statistically significant difference in BCVA, CMT and CNV area between two groups(P>0.05). The average injection in the 1+PRN group was significantly less than that of the 3+PRN group [2(1, 3)times vs 3(3, 4)times, P<0.05], but the average reinjection in the 1+PRN group was more than that of the 3+PRN group [1(0, 2)times vs 0(0, 1)times, P<0.05].CONCLUSION: Two regimens were both safe and effective in the treatment of pathological myopic CNV by Conbercept, which can improve BCVA, decrease CMT, and reduce CNV area, with less total times of injection in the 1+PRN regimen, and less times of reinjection in the 3+PRN regimen.

ObjectiveTo understand the characteristics of high-risk inmates’ impulsivity and to explore the influencing factors of impulsivity, so as to provide a theoretical basis for identifying the high-risk factors and making effective intervention. MethodsA total of 588 male inmates in Nanjing were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into four groups according to their violent crime reasons, high impulsiveness, borderline personality and antisocial personality. The detailed criminal records of inmates, general demographic data questionnaire, self-made substance use questionnaire, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and Childhood Trauma Questionaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) were used to investigate, and multiple stepwise regression analysis was conducted to analysis the influencing factors of impulsivity of high-risk inmates. Results① There were statistically significant differences in age, marital status and drug use history among the four groups (F=4.890、13.945、26.137, P<0.01). ② There were statistically significant differences in BIS-11 and CTQ-SF scores among the four groups (F=81.196, 16.208, P<0.01). ③ Drug use history (β=1.832, P<0.05), affective neglect (β=0.278, P<0.01) and affective abuse (β=0.307, P<0.01) had positive predictive effects on impulsivity of all high-risk inmates. Affective neglect (β=0.482, P<0.01) had a positive predictive effect on impulsivity of violent criminals. ConclusionDrug use history, affective neglect and emotional abuse were the risk factors for high impulsivity in male high-risk inmates.
