Objective To establish the DNA fingerprint of microflora of some intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC),acute gastroenteritis (AG) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),and analyze the structural characteristics of such fingerprints. Methods Thirty seven patients with intestinal diseases,definitely diagnosed by coloscopy as UC (20 cases),IBS (6 cases) and AG (11 cases),and 11 healthy people as control were involved in the present study. The total DNA was extracted from the fecal samples,and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) was used to set up the DNA fingerprint of intestinal microflora. The differences existed among the fingerprint profiles of intestinal microflora were compared. Results The numbers of DNA bands were obviously less in UC patients than in IBS and AG patients and healthy subjects,implying that significant differences existed in the intestinal microflora among UC and AG patients and healthy subjects. The principal band of DNA fingerprint in 17 UC patients appeared at 0.7kb,and 2 main DNA bands existed at 0.8kb and 1.1kb in AG patients,while no principal band was found in the DNA fingerprint of the IBS patients and healthy subjects. Conclusions It is likely that a single principal microflora is presented in the intestinal tissue of UC patients,which might be responsible for the morbidity of UC.

Objective Colour ultrasound was used to detect the hemodynamic changes in patients with internal carotid artery kingking,in order to investigate the relationship between the carotid distortion angle and blood flow changes and to explore the assessment of severe internal carotid artery twist operation indications.Methods Forty-five patients with carotid artery kingking hospitalized in the Brain Hospital of Liaocheng were performed colour ultrasound to detect systolic blood flow velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity EDV) and to measure the angle of carotid artery kingking.Results According Metz classification, of the 45 patients, Ⅰ level 17 cases, Ⅱ level 17 cases, Ⅲ level 11 cases.With the decrease of carotid distortion angle,the influence on hemodynamics was more and more obvious, especially while the angle less than 30 degrees, the carotid artery blood flow was severely affected.The difference of PSV before and after Kinking was statistically significant in patientes of Metz Ⅲ level (Z=-2.934,P=0.003) and Metz Ⅱ level (Z=-3.053,P=0.002), but was statistically no significant in patientes of Metz Ⅰ level (Z=-0.382, P=0.702).There was a negative correlation between the ratio of the twist angle and PSV before kinking/PSV after kinking (rz =-0.842, P ＜0.05),that was, with the decrease of the twist angle, PSV before kinking/ PSV after kinking increase accordingly.Conclusion Kinking seriously affect the carotid artery blood flow dynamics.Ultrasound can accurately detect distortions arterial hemodynamics

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of patients treated with multiple therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures and to evaluate the causes, safety, and efficacy of repeated ERCP. MethodsAnalyses of therapeutic results, complications, and postoperative outcomes were performed on the clinical data of the patients who were admitted to Beijing Army General Hospital and received ERCP at least twice from July 2010 to December 2014. ResultsSeventy-seven patients underwent 187 times of ERCP procedures in total, among which 2 times were performed in 60 patients, 3 times in 6 patients, 4 times in 8 patients, 5 times in 2 patients, and 7 times in 1 patient. Postoperative events included hemorrhea after endoscopic sphincterotomy in 2 cases, post-ERCP pancreatitis in 2 cases, duodenal perforation in 1 case, and death within 3 weeks after ERCP in 2 cases due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ConclusionRecurrent common bile duct stones, inflammatory stenosis of the bile duct, chronic pancreatitis, and prolonged survival of malignant tumor patients are the main reasons for repeated ERCP. The patients aged over 80 years are more likely to undergo multiple ERCP procedures. Repeated ERCP shows good overall safety and efficacy.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of hybrid surgery in treatment of chronic symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion.MethodsFrom April 2016 to December 2018, 9 patients with chronic symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion confirmed by digital subtraction angiography were treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA)+double chamber Fogarty balloon (3F) embolectomy or stent implantation when necessary. The clinical data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. Vascular recanalization and complications during perioperative period and follow-up of the patients were analyzed.ResultsCEA+double chamber Fogarty balloon (3F) thrombectomy was performed in 5 patients; and stent placement was performed in 4 patients after Fogarty balloon thrombectomy. The internal carotid arteries of all 9 patients were unobstructed immediately during the operation. Postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome occurred in 3 patients; blood pressure was strictly controlled and the symptoms gradually relieved after proper dehydration. No serious complications such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or nerve injury occurred. The duration of follow-up was 4-36 months; no patient developed a new stroke or death; no re-occlusion appeared; but one mild restenosis (50％) was detected. one patient suffered from a TIA attack 6 months after operation. ConclusionHybrid surgery is an effective method for treatment of chronic symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion; however, preoperative evaluation and selection of patients should be carefully; individualized treatment plans should be developed.

Objective: To understand school physician in primary and secondary schools in Yichang City, Hubei Province from 2019 to 2020, and to provide a reference for strengthening the school physician team in primary and secondary schools. Methods: 149 and 102 primary and secondary schools from 6 municipal districts in Yichang City, Hubei Province, were randomly selected in November 2019 and November 2020, respectively, and were administered by questionnaire survey. Results: The proportion of school physicians increased from 39.6% in 2019 to 65.7% in 2020. In the past two years, the equipment rate of school physician in both central and fringe urban areas increased, especially the fringe urban areas, number of school physician increased from 38 to 96. A total of 93 and 141 school physicians were selected to pariticipate in questionaire survey in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The survey showed that more than 90% of school physicians in primary and secondary schools in Yichang received training, and 74.5% had college education level. However, most of them lack professional qualification and medical background. Conclusion School physician of primary and secondary of Yichang is well development over the past two years, and the proportion substantially increased. However, there is still room for improvement in the quantity and quality of school physicians, and professional qualification needs to be improved. More attention should be paid to the marginal urban areas to achieve a balance between quantity and quality.

Objective:To investigate risk factors for decompressive craniectomy (DC) after endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients underwent EVT due to acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion in Liaocheng Brain Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively included. They were divided into DC group and non-DC group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine risk factors for DC after EVT. Results:A total of 207 patients were enrolled, 126 were male (60.87%), and their age was 66.22±11.24 years old. The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 19.84±9.20, and the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was 7.98±0.66. The immediate postoperative modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) blood flow grade in seven patients (5.80%) was ≤2a, 30 (14.49%) experienced hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after procedure, and 28 (13.5%) received DC. There were statistically significant differences between the DC group and the non-DC group in terms of past stroke history, preoperative NIHSS score and ASPECTS, vascular occlusion site, EVT time, immediate postoperative mTICI ≤2a, and HT (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (odds ratio [ OR] 3.202, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.335-9.796; P=0.011), previous stroke history ( OR 2.655, 95% CI 1.016-6.938; P=0.046), high preoperative NIHSS score ( OR 1.074, 95% CI 1.026-1.124; P=0.002), internal carotid artery occlusion ( OR 4.268, 95% CI 1.399-13.024; P=0.011), longer EVT time ( OR 1.010, 95% CI 1.003-1.016; P=0.003), mTICI grade ≤2a ( OR 5.342, 95% CI 1.565-18.227; P=0.007) and postoperative HT ( OR 3.036, 95% CI 1.024-9.004; P=0.045) were independent risk factors for DC. Conclusions:It is not uncommon for patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke to need DC after EVT. Previous stroke history, atrial fibrillation, high baseline NIHSS score, internal carotid artery occlusion, prolonged blood EVT time, mTICI grade ≤2a and postoperative HT are independent predictors of needing DC after EVT.

Objective:To explores the clinical efficacy and safety of carotid endarterectomy in patients with high bifurcation carotid artery stenosis.Methods:A total of 169 patients with carotid artery stenosis (147 patients with non-high bifurcation carotid artery stenosis and 22 patients with high bifurcation carotid artery stenosis), underwent carotid endarterectomy under surgical microscope in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2020, were included in the study. Patients with high bifurcation carotid artery stenosis were operated by cutting off the posterior abdomen of the digastric muscle to assist in exposing the distal end of the internal carotid artery plaque. Cervical CTA/DSA examination was performed within one week of surgery to confirm whether carotid artery stenosis was relieved; ultrasound examination of cervical vessels was performed 6 months and 1 year after surgery to determine whether restenosis was appeared in the carotid artery. The surgical efficacy, perioperative complications and re-examination results were compared between the two groups.Results:Postoperative carotid artery stenosis was relieved in both groups. The proportions of new cerebral infarction and temporary neurological impairment between the two groups (4.5% vs. 2.0%; 9.1% vs. 3.4%) showed no significant differences ( P>0.05). Carotid artery restenosis was not found in both groups. There was no obvious functional abnormality in the digastric muscles of patients with high bifurcation carotid stenosis. Conclusion:Cutting off the posterior abdomen of the digastric muscle during carotid endarterectomy can better expose the distal end of the internal carotid plaque in patients with high bifurcation carotid stenosis, and provide convenience for effective relief of carotid artery stenosis with high safety.

Objective To establish a direct extraction ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of bongkrekic acid in corn flour. Methods Bongkrekic acid was directly extracted with 80% methanol from corn flour samples, and the supernatant after vortex and centrifugation was determined after passing through membrane filtration. At the same time, the corn flour samples were extracted by solid phase extraction. The determination results of the two methods were compared. Results The linearity of standard series was good within the range of2-20 μg/L, and the linearity coefficient was＞0.999. The determination result of the positive sample by direct extraction method was 193.40 mg/kg (n=6). Adding the standard to the blank sample at the levels of 2, 6, and 10 μg/L, the calculated recovery rate was 75.82% - 99.33%, and the relative standard deviation was 3.54 % - 8.45%. The detection limit of the method reached 6 μg/kg. After extraction by solid phase extraction, the determination result of the positive sample was 196.84 mg/kg (n=6). The recovery rate was 77.12% -100.83%, with a relative standard deviation of 8.32% - 9.54%. Conclusion Compared with the solid phase extraction, the direct extraction method for the extraction of bongkrekic acid from corn flour has the advantages of rapidity, simplicity, and cost savings.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of Crohn′s disease (CD)-related gastrointestinal stenosis, and to summarize and analyze the corresponding treatments.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2018, 122 patients diagnosed with CD and hospitalized in the Seventh Medical Center, PLA General Hospital were selected including 72 patients in gastrointestinal stenosis group and 50 patients in non-gastrointestinal stenosis group. The gender, age of onset, course of disease, location of lesions involved (Montreal classification), disease activity, extraintestinal manifestations, application of therapeutic drugs, and complications were compared between the two groups. The treatment of CD patients with gastrointestinal stenosis was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of CD patients with gastrointestinal stenosis. The independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The age of onset of patients in gastrointestinal stenosis group was older than that in non-gastrointestinal stenosis group ((37.6±15.1) years old vs. (30.8±14.7) years old), and course of disease was longer than that of non-gastrointestinal stenosis group (72 months, 11 to 492 months vs. 45 months, 3 to 240 months); and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.044, Z=-2.770; P=0.018, 0.006). The proportion of patients with ileum involvement of the gastrointestinal stenosis group was lower than that of the non-gastrointestinal stenosis group (69.4%, 50/72 vs. 86.0%, 43/50), and the proportion of severe patients was higher than that of the non-gastrointestinal stenosis group (15.3%, 11/72 vs. 4.0%, 2/50); and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.463 and 3.942, P=0.035 and 0.047). There were no significant differences in gender, use of therapeutic drugs, extraintestinal manifestations, application of therapeutic drugs or the incidence of complications between the patients of two groups (all P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression showed that the age of onset and course of disease were risk factors of CD-related gastrointestinal stenosis ( β=0.028, odds ratio ( OR)=1.028, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.000 to 1.056, P=0.046; β=0.008, OR=1.008, 95% CI 1.002 to 1.015, P=0.013). Further stratified analysis revealed that the incidence rates of CD-related gastrointestinal stenosis in patients with age of onset over 40 years old and course of disease more than five years were higher than those of patients with age of onset less than 40 years old and course of disease less than five years (76.3%, 29/38 vs. 51.2%, 43/84; 68.4%, 39/57 vs. 50.8%, 33/65), and the differences were statistically significant ( OR=3.072, 95% CI 1.298 to 7.272, P=0.009; OR=2.101, 95% CI 1.002 to 4.406, P=0.048). Among the 72 CD patients with gastrointestinal stenosis, 15 cases (20.8%) were treated with medicine and nutrition, without endoscopic or surgical treatment. Fifty-two patients (72.2%) underwent surgical treatment, among them six patients (11.5%) received twice surgery, the interval between the two operations was 46 months (1 to 204 months), and eight patients (15.4%) had postoperative complications. Twenty-one patients (29.2%) were treated with endoscopic dilatation, and no complications occurred after surgery. Five patients (23.8%) underwent surgical treatment during the follow-up period. Conclusions:The age of onset over 40 years old and the course of disease more than five years are the risk factors of CD-related gastrointestinal stenosis. Individualized medical treatment is the basis for the treatment of CD-related gastrointestinal stenosis. Surgery is still the main treatment. The endoscopic treatment is safety and can delay or avoid surgery to a certain extent.
