Objective:To investigate the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with extremely severe burns.Methods:Totally 46 patients with extremely severe burn in the dust explosion of aluminum powder in Kunshan, Jiangsu province on August 2, 2014 were included in this study. The patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to the prognosis of the patients. The patients' age, sex, burn degree, white blood cell, and lactic acid at admission, lactic acid at 48 h, creatinine, albumin, urine volume, blood calcium, acute physiology and chronic health score system II (APACHE II) and SOFA scores, and 90 d mortality were collected. COX regression analysis was used to analyze the possible relationship between the indicators of the two groups and the prognosis.Results:There were no significant differences in white blood cell at admission, creatinine, albumin, urine volume, SOFA score, and APACHE II score in the survival group compared with those in the death group (all P>0.05) and burn degree, the levels of lactic acid at admission, lactic acid at 48 h and blood calcium were significantly different (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that age, albumin and lactic acid at 48 h were independent predictors of death in patients with severe burn ( P<0.05), and these are independent outcome predictors of patients with severe burns ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Age, albumin level and lactic acid at 48 h are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with severe burns.

Objective:To investigate serum C-reactive protein (CRP) , procalcitonin (PCT) and neutrophil CD64 in predicting early infection after internal fixation of limb fractures.Methods:A total of 2 572 patients with limb fractures undergoing internal fixation in Taishun County People’s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022 were enrolled. Postoperative infection occurred in 121 cases (infected group) and did not occur in 2 451 cases (uninfected group). Serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 were tested at admission and d1, d3, d5 and d7 after operation. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 at different time points between two groups, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of each index or in combination for early infection after internal fixation of limbs fractures.Results:The early infection rate after internal fixation was 4.70% (121/2 572). The levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 in the infection group began to rise after operation and decreased on d7; there were significant differences in PCT, CRP and CD64 levels between the two groups on d3, d5 and d7 after operation (PCT: Ftime=678.607, Fintergroup=2 218.323, Finteraction=653.150; CRP: Ftime=392.724, Fintergroup=1 812.502, FInteraction =379.577; CD64: Ftime=373.686, Fintergroup=4 817.438, Finteraction=528.353, all P< 0.001) . The area under the ROC curve of combined detection of PCT, CPR, and CD64 for predicting early infection was 0.856; the sensitivity and specificity of combined detection were 69.2% and 94.7%, respectively. The combined detection of three indicators showed better prediction values than PCT, CRP and CD64 alone ( Z=6.176, 3.838 and 2.431, P<0.01 or <0.05), and also better than combined detection of PCT and CRP ( Z=2.875, P=0.019). Conclusions:The combined detection of CD64, PCT and CRP is of value in prediction of postoperative infection after internal fixation of limb fractures, which is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate Lanzhou area cases of hepatitis C virus (H-CV) infection with a 5'-non coding region (NCR) 2i genotype and core (C), envelope protein (E) and non-structural protein (NS5) 2a genotype and the relationship with therapeutic response to interferon-alpha (IFNa).
METHODSNine patients who received IFNa-based treatment for HCV between 2007 and 2009 at the Second People's Hospital of Gansu Province were selected for analysis.Restriction enzyme analysis was carried out for the 5'-NCR and sequencing was carried out for the other gene areas.The relationship between genetic variants and IFNaresponse was examined.
RESULTSOf the total nine HCV cases treated with IFNa-based therapies, five of the patients achieved sustained virological response (SVR), which included two cases with type 2 genotype and three cases with no MboI restriction enzyme point of tangency (i.e.type 1b). The remaining four patients that did not achieve SVR included one case of type 2a, with a 1b and 2a mixed state, and one case with 5'-NCR 2i genotype and C area, NS5 area 2a genotype; the other two cases had 5'-NCR and C area type 1b. Of the five cases with 5'-NCR 2i genotype, all had C 2a genotype and two had C/E 2a and NS5 2a genotypes.The seven patients that showed no response to ordinary IFNa were converted to long-term IFNa plus ribavirin combination antiviral treatment; five (71.4%) of the cases showed response in HCV RNA level and the patients treated with the pegylated form showed greater response.
CONCLUSIONHCV genotyping can only provide information on the particular region of gene sequence examined, and it is important to sequence all gene regions where mutations related to antiviral drug response are located. Peg-IFNa-2a combined with ribavirin may achieve better therapeutic effect in patients infected with 2i/2a recombinant forms of HCV.

In this study, peaT1 gene was subcloned into the Pichia pastoris expression vector pPIC9K, which contained both the methanol-inducible promoter and the transcription terminator of the AOX1 gene, resulting the plasmid pPIC9K-peaT1. The recombinant plasmid was linearized by Sal I or Bgl II and transformed into P. pastoris GS115 by electroporation method. Recombinant strain was screened by Minimal Dextrose Medium and further confirmed by PCR. The gene was in frame integrated into the Pichia genome through homologous recombination, resulting the recombinant strain. Regulated by the alpha-Factor, promoter of AOX1 gene and termination signal of yeast genomic, the recombinant protein was expressed and secreted into the supernatant. The SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the apparent molecular weight of target protein was about 35 kD. Bioassay results showed that the inhibition rate of the expressed protein against TMV was 30.37%. The supernatant was collected and then purified by anion exchange chromatography. This protein can promote seedling growth of wheat obviously.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the CT and MRI findings and pathological characteristics of retroperitoneal localized Castleman's disease and discuss the diagnostic and differential value of CT and MRI.
METHODSCT, MRI and clinical data of retroperitoneal localized Castleman's disease, proved by surgery and pathology, of 13 patients were reviewed. Among them, all the 13 cases received CT, and 4 cases received MRI examination.
RESULTSAmong the 13 cases, 12 cases were of hyaline vascular type, and one was of mixed type. All foci were single mass and most foci located in the periphery of the kidney. The maximum diameter was 4.2 cm to 8.6 cm and the mean diameter of all tumors was 5.9 cm. The outline of most tumors was clear and kidney-shaped. On unenhanced CT, 10 cases showed low density and 3 cases showed isodensity. On plain MRI, four cases showed iso-signal on T1WI, three cases showed slightly high signal on T2WI and one showed moderately high signal. The CT and MRI findings were similar on contrast enhanced scan. In arterial phase, 10 cases showed moderate enhancement, 2 cases showed significant enhancement and one case showed moderate enhancement. Five cases showed rather homogeneous enhancement and 8 cases showed heterogeneous enhancement.In venous phase, all the 13 tumors showed continuous enhancement. Eight cases showing heterogeneous enhancement in arterial phase showed expanded range, and among them two cases showed tending to be homogeneous enhancement. Six cases showed areas of low density without enhancement, and 9 cases were accompanied with single or multi-satellite punctuate or striped foci around the tumors.
CONCLUSIONDynamic contrast-enhanced CT and MRI combined with MR T2WI fat-suppression are of great importance in the diagnosis and identification of retroperitoneal localized Castleman's disease.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical value of intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM).
Methods:
A retrospectively analysis of 187 patients with CLM who underwent liver resection with or without RFA from January 2009 to August 2016 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was performed. According to whether RFA was used intraoperatively, patients were divided into resection only group and combined treatment group. The clinical and pathological characteristics of the two groups were compared to explore factors influencing survival and recurrence. Imbalance of background characteristics between the two groups was further overcome by propensity score matching method (PSM).
Results:
The number of liver metastases (267), simultaneous liver metastases (100%), bilobar involvement (73.3%) and preoperative chemotherapy (93.3%) rates were significantly higher in the combined treatment group than those in the resection only group(471, 74.7%, 42.0% and 63.1%)(all
