Objective: To study the infectious state of 3 kinds of viruses (CVB, CMV and EBV) in respiratory tract infection and its significance. Methods: Among 290 patients studied, there were 158 boys and 132 girls, aged from 6 months to 12 years. The antigen of coxsackievirus B (CVB-Ag) and antibody of coxsackievirus B (CVB-IgM), antibody of cytomegalovirus (CMV-IgM) and antibody of EB virus (EBV- IgM) were detected by ELISA method. Results: (1) The positive incidence of upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia was higher than that of noninfectious disease group (P<0.01). The positive incidence of CVB was higher than that of CMV and EBV(P＜0.01). (2)There were cross viruses positive, especially in pneumonia group (P<0.05), usually CVB cross other virus infection. (3) The course of pneumonia was long in single CVB (P<0.01) and longer in cross infection of viruses (P<0.01). Conclusion: CVB infection is the most common one in the 3 viruses. Attention should be paid to multiple viruses infections in pneumonia children.

Objective To identify the clinical risk factors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) and their values in early diagnosis. Methods The retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted in 142 children with Myco-plasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) admitted to Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University from Jan. 2012 to Jan. 2014. All children were divided into two groups, RMPP group (n=112) and MPP group (n=30). The comparison was made between two groups in clinical data. The factors were analyzed by the multifactor logistic regression. Results As compared to MPP, RMPP had longer fever duration, the higher ratios of large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and in-creased CRP level (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression indicated that the clinical risk factors included large consolidation shadows (OR=6.57, 95%CI:2.10-20.56), extrapulmonary complications (OR=11.66, 95%CI:2.42-56.08) and CRP (OR=14.87, 95%CI:2.67-82.79) (P<0.01). Conclusions Large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and CRP are clinical risk factors of RMPP. CRP elevation and lung imaging changes are valuable in early diagnosis of RMPP.

Objective: To understand the relationship between coxsackievirus B and pediatric diseases. Methods: The infectious state of coxsackievirus B in hospitalized children were studied. Among 796 children studied, there were 218 upper respiratory tract infection cases, 179 pneumonia, 106 asthma, 155 myocarditis, 19 allergic purpura and 89 other diseases. The antigen (CVB-Ag) and IgM (CVB-IgM) were detected using ELISA method. Results: (1)There were 47% positive of CVB in upper respiratory tract infection and 48% positive of CVB in pneumonia(no difference between them, P>0.05). (2) There were 62% positive of CVB in asthma, 61% positive of CVB in myocarditis and 68% positive of CVB in allergic purpura(no difference among them, P>0.05)； But the positive rate of CVB in asthma, myocarditis and purpura were higher than in upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia, (P<0.05). (3) There were lower positive rate of CVB in other kinds of diseases (16%) and in healthy children (3%)(no difference between them, P>0.05). Conclusion: CVB infection was related to several kinds of diseases, the relationship between CVB infection and diseases such as asthma, myocarditis, and allergic purpura should be further studied.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors associated with metastasis of lymph node along superior mesenteric vein (No.14v) in gastric cancer.

METHODSClinicopathological data of 70 gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy with No.14v dissection between September 2010 and October 2011 in the Gulou Hospital, Nanjing University School of Medicine were analyzed retrospectively. Associated factors of No.14v lymph nodes metastasis were investigated.

RESULTSOf 70 cases, positive No.14v lymph node metastasis was found in 8 cases (11.4%). Univariate analysis showed that the No.14v metastasis was associated with tumor location (P=0.019), tumor size (P=0.004), depth of invasion (P=0.001), TNM staging (P=0.006), and other lymph node group metastasis (all P<0.05), and was not associated with age, gender, Borrmann classification, Lauren classification or histological type (all P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that lntra-pyloric lymph nodes (No.6) metastasis was an independent risk factor of No.14v metastasis (P<0.05). The predictive accuracy was 94.3% (66/70) and false-negative rate was 1.7% (1/60) for No.6 lymph node metastasis.

CONCLUSIONNo.6 lymph node metastasis status can predict the metastasis of No.14v more accurately.

Objective To explore the role of the visceral afferent nerve hyperesthesia and acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) in rats with reflux esophagitis (RE).Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and animal model was established.Rats were divided into control group (n=20) and RE group (n=40).The esophageal mocosa biopsy were routinely performed in two groups.The esophageal specific DRG neurons were identified by 1,1'dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate tracing method and the whole-cell patch clamp assay was performed.The expression of ASIC1 in esophageal mucosa and thoracic spine cord three to five segments at protein level and mRNA level were detected by Western blotting and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).Two independent samples t test was performed for statistical analysis.Results The body weight of RE group was significantly lower than that of control group ((179.41±-16.38) g vs (290.75 ±-22.20) g),and the difference was statistically significant (t=17.090,P＜ 0.01).Esophageal basal cell hyperplasia,papillary elongation,vascular dialation and congestion,inflammatory cells infiltration were found in RE group rats.The results of whole-cell patchclamp showed depolarization of the resting potential of esophageal-specific DRG neurons of RE group was more significant than that of control group (-(46.20 ± 1.92) mV vs-(51.60 ± 1.52) mV),and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.930,P＜0.01).The threshold current of RE group was much lower than that of control group ((18.00±13.04) pAvs (80.00±12.25) pA),and the difference was statistically significant (t=7.750,P＜0.01).When stimulated with two to three times the threshold current,the frequency of action potential of RE group significantly increased (5.80 ±1.48 vs 3.00 ±1.58,10.60±2.30 vs 5.20±1.92),and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.890 and 4.030,both P＜0.01).The results of Western blotting indicated that the expression of ASIC1 in esophageal mucosa of RE group was significatly lower than that of control group (0.614±0.120 vs 0.976±0.283),and the difference was statistically significant (t =2.885,P＜ 0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of ASIC1 in DRG between RE group and control group (0.804 ± 0.182 vs 1.032±0.316;t=1.528,P＞0.05).The results of qPCR showed that the expression of ASIC1 mRNA in esophageal mucosa of RE group was lower than that of control group (0.694 ± 0.118 vs 1.036 ±0.137),and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.642,P＜0.01).However there was no statistically significant difference in ASIC1 at mRNA level between RE group and control group (1.002± 0.074 vs 0.985±0.120;t=0.294,P＞0.05).Conclusion The sensitivity of esophageal visceral afferent nerve of rats in RE group increases and ASIC1 may negatively regulate the formation of esophageal visceral hypersensitivity.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in TNM staging before radical prostatectomy. Methods:From July 2018 to December 2019, a total of 67 patients ((67.5±6.8) years) with prostate cancer diagnosed pathologically by radical surgery in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were retrospectively enrolled. All patients underwent 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT whole-body scans before surgery. Results of PET/CT were compared with pathological diagnosis after surgery to compare the diagnostic efficiencies of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT for preoperative TNM staging ( χ2 test). The differences of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) in primary lesions between 2 imaging methods were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Patients were divided into low-risk, intermediate-risk and high-risk for stratified analysis. Results:Among 67 patients, 9 were with low-risk, 19 were with intermediate-risk, 39 were with high-risk. For T staging, 59 (88.06%, 59/67) patients showed positive results by 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging, with median SUV max of 13.80(7.30, 22.40) for 67 patients; 31(46.27%, 31/67) patients showed positive results in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, with median SUV max of 4.00(3.10, 5.60) ( U=62, P<0.05). Stratifed analysis showed that the detection rate of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT was higher than that of 18F-FDG PET/CT in intermediate-risk patients (17/19 vs 6/19; χ2=4.920, P<0.05). Among 67 patients, 10 were diagnosed as N1 stage based on the pathological results. The sensitivities, specificities, accuracies, positive predictive values and negative predictive values of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT for detecting positive regional lymph nodes were 6/10, 87.72%(50/57), 83.58%(56/67), 6/13, 92.59%(50/54) and 4/10, 89.47%(51/57), 82.09%(55/67), 4/10, 89.47%(51/57), respectively. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT detected 15 patients (22.39%, 15/67) with M1 stage, and 18F-FDG PET/CT identified 9 patients (13.43%, 9/67; χ2=35.436, P<0.05). Conclusions:As for T staging, the detection rate of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in the intermediate-risk group is better than 18F-FDG PET/CT. In N and M staging, the detection rates of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT are higher than those of 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) and global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk scores for in-hospital mortality in Chinese non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. Methods: Data of present study derived from the prospective, multi-center registry trial of Chinese AMI (CAMI). Among 31 provinces, municipalities or autonomous districts in China, at least one tertiary and secondary hospital was selected. From January 2013 to September 2014, 5 896 consecutive non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients who were admitted to 107 hospitals within 7 days of symptom onset were enrolled. For each patient, TIMI and GRACE risk scores were calculated using specific variables collected at admission. Their prognostic value was evaluated by the endpoint of in-hospital mortality. Results: Among 5 896 NSTEMI patients (age was (65.4±12.1) years old), 68.2% (n=4 020) were males. The in-hospital mortality was 6.0% (n=353) and the median length of hospital stay was 10.0 (7.0, 13.0) days. The incidence of pre-hospital cardiac arrest was 3.6% (n=213) among 5 896 NSTEMI patients. Six hundreds and forty five patients (10.9%) received primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and 6 patients underwent emergent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (0.1%), and the median time of reperfusion was 529.5 (256.0, 1 065.0) minutes. The prescription percentage of statins, β-blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers, and aldosterone antagonists were 94.8% (n=5 587), 71.7% (n=4 228), 65.5% (n=3 864) and 26.0% (n=1 533) respectively. The area under the curve of GRACE risk score for in-hospital mortality (0.7930 (95%CI 0.767-0.818)) was better than that of TIMI risk score (0.5588 (95%CI 0.532-0.586), P<0.001). Conclusion GRACE risk score demonstrates better predictive accuracy than TIMI risk score for in-hospital mortality in NSTEMI patients in this patient cohort.
