Objective:To evaluate the difference of dosimetry between three-dimensional and two-dimensional plans based on CT images of occult perforation in brachytherapy of cervical cancer, aiming to provide clinical reference.Methods:A total of 817 patients with cervical cancer received simple intrauterine (intrauterine tandem plus vaginal colpostats) three-dimensional brachytherapy in Chongqing University Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 16 patients had occul uterine perforation. Based on Oncentra Brachy Therapy plan system, the single prescription dose was 6Gy. Three-dimensional (3D group) and two-dimensional (2D group) plans were designed on the perforated CT images The target volume, conformal index (CI), conformal index coformity index (COIN) and organs-at-risk (OAR) D 2cm 3 parameters were used to assess the plans between two groups. Results:The incidence of pccult uterine perforation was 1.96%(16/817) during brachytherapy for cervical cancer. The volume of prescription dose curve in the 3D group was (40.74±14.98) cm 3, significantly smaller compared with (91.46±19.71) cm 3 in the 2D group ( P<0.05), whereas the volume of the high-risk clinical target area wrapped by prescription dose curve did not significantly differ between two groups ( P>0.05). The CI and COIN in the 3D group were 0.79±0.10 and 0.72±0.96, significantly higher compared with 0.38±0.09 and 0.37±0.18 in the 2D group (both P<0.05). The D 2cm 3 of bladder, rectum, sigmoid colon, small intestine in the 3D group were (306.06±77.57) cGy, (252.27±72.60) cGy, (127.25±62.84) cGy and (228.79±94.90) cGy, significantly lower than (548.03±164.21) cGy, (411.16±118.74) cGy, (227.45±94.48) cGy and (450.95±157.96) cGy in the 2D group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Application of image guidance in brachytherapy of cervical cancer is helpful to detect occult uterine perforation. When occult uterine perforation occurs, the use of three-dimensional plan can basically meet the clinical needs, which is significantly better than the two-dimensional plan.

Objective To investigate the population distribution of intermediate host snails and crabs of Paragonimus along the Jiulongjiang River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Bopingling Mountain, southern Fujian Province, so as to provide baseline data for researches on parasitic disease prevention and control and enlargement of samples in the parasitic resource bank. Methods A total of 23 villages in 8 counties (districts) along the Jiulong River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province were selected as survey sites during the period from November 2020 through March 2023, and snail and freshwater crabs were sampled from 1 to 3 streams and ditches neighboring residential areas in each village. Morphological identification of snails was performed according to the external morphological characteristics of collected snail shells, and the unidentified snail species sampled from the natural foci of paragonimiasis in Yunxiao County were subjected to se-quence analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene. The crab species was identified by observing the morphological characteristics of the terminal segment of the first pleopod of male crabs, and Paragonimus cercariae and metacercariae were detected in collected snails. Results The shells of the unidentified snails sampled from the natural foci of paragonimiasis in Yunxiao County were approximately 50 mm in height and 18 mm in width, thick and solid, long tower cone-shaped, and had 8 to 10 whorls. CO1 gene sequence analysis identified the snail species as Sulcospira hainanensis. A total of 6 freshwater snail species belonging to 5 genera within 3 families, identified 23 survey sites, including Semisulcospira libertina, Paludomus zhangchouensis and S. hainanensis that belonged to the Family Pleurceridae, Tricula fujianensis and T. huaanensis that belonged to the subfamily Triculinae, Family Pomatiopsidae, and Melanoides tuberculata (Family Thiaridae), and 11 species of freshwater crabs belonging to 5 genera within 2 families were identified, including Sinopotamon genus of S. jianglense, S. pinheense, and S. zhangzhouense, Huananpotamon genus of H. planopodum and H. zhangzhouense, Nanhaipotamon genus of N. huaanense and N. longhaiense, and Minpotamon genus of M. nasicum and M. auritum that belonged to the Family Potamidae, and Somanniathelphusa genus of S. huaanensis and S. zhangpuensis (Family Parathelphusidae). In addition, the prevalence of P. westermani cercariae infections was 0.08% (2/2 317) in P. zhangchouensis from Danyan Village in Changtai District and 0.09% (1/1 039) in S. hainanensis from Jinkeng Village in Yunxiao County, and the prevalence of P. westermani metacercariae infections was 25.81% (8/31) in S. jianglense from Danyan Village in Changtai District, and 26.31% (5/19) in S. zhangzhouense from Jinkeng Village in Yunxiao County, respectively. Conclusions There is a population diversity in the intermediate host snails and crabs along the Jiulongjiang River, Zhangjiang River, and Dongxi River basins in Bopingling Mountain, southern Fujian Province, and P. zhangzhouensis and S. hainanensis are, for the first time, confirmed as the first intermediate hosts of P. westermani.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.

AIM: To investigate the effect of an effective component total sterone (TSR) of Echinops latifolius Tausch, the main component of a Chinese patent medicine Cuiru Keli (national drug standard WS3-413 (Z-085)-2003 (Z), on lactation and its possible mechanism. METHODS: After mating between male and female SD rats, 60 female rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, TSR low-dose and high-dose groups and prolactin granule positive control group, with 12 female rats in each group and 8 newborn rats in each nest. In addition to the normal control group, the rats in each group were intraperitoneally injected with levodopa 2 mg/kg once a day for 7 days from the second day of delivery. The rats in the normal control group were given normal saline by gavage once a day for 14 days. From the beginning of self-sufficiency, the single lactation of the female rats was measured every day until the 14th day, and then the female rats in each group were killed. Pathological HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of mammary gland tissue in each group. ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum prolactin (PRL) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the distribution of PRL in mammary gland tissue of each group. Furthermore, Real-time qPCR was used to detect the expression of milk protein, milk fat related genes β-casein, FAS, ACC and the expression of canonical Wnt signaling pathway related genes β-catenin, c-Myc, CCND1, SFRP4, DNMT1, MeCP2 in mammary gland of each group. RESULTS: Both low and high dose TSR could significantly increase the single lactation volume, improve the pathological morphology of mammary gland, and increase the serum levels of PRL and 5-HT. TSR increased the distribution of PRL and up-regulated the expression of milk protein, milk fat related genes β-casein, FAS, ACC and canonical Wnt signaling pathway related genes β-catenin, c-Myc, CCND1, SFRP4, DNMT1, MeCP2.CONCLUSION: TSR can significantly promote lactation in lactation deficient rats, and its mechanism may be related to promoting the release of PRL and 5-HT in serum, increasing the distribution of PRL in mammary gland, up-regulating the milk protein and milk fat related genes and activating the canonical Wnt signal.
