ObjectiveTo explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of Astragali Radix polysaccharide （APS） on inhibitor of differentiation1 （ID1） and protein kinase B （Akt） in gastric cancer. MethodsImmunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of ID1 and Akt in 61 gastric cancer tissue samples and 20 adjacent normal gastric tissue samples. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the localization of ID1 and Akt. The effects of APS at the concentrations of 0.625， 1.25， 2.5， 5， 10， 20 mg·L^-1 on the proliferation of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells were examined by the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） method and the colony formation assay. The target information of APS was retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Analysis Platform and Swiss Target Prediction. Keywords such as gastric cancer， gastric tumor， and stomach cancer were searched against GeneCards， UniProt， DisGeNET， and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） for the screening of gastric cancer-related targets. The online tool jvenn was used to create the Venn diagram to identify the common targets， and STRING and Cytoscape were used to construct the protein-protein interaction network. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses were conducted via R 4.2.2 to predict the potential roles of APS in the development of gastric cancer. The cell scratch assay was employed to assess the effect of APS on the migration of MGC-803 cells. The protein and mRNA levels of ID1 and Akt in the cells treated with APS were determined by Western blot and Real-time PCR， respectively. ResultsCompared with the adjacent normal gastric tissue， the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue showed increased positive expression of ID1 （χ² =81.00， P<0.01）. Immunofluorescence detection showed that ID1 and Akt were mainly located in the cytoplasm of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Bioinformatics analysis identified 14 common genes shared between APS and gastric cancer. The average degree of protein-protein interaction network nodes was 14.29. GO and KEGG pathway enrichment results showed that ID1 and Akt were significantly enriched in the Rap1 and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K） /Akt signaling pathways. Cell experiments demonstrated that 5-fluorouracil （0.1 mg·L^-1） and APS （10， 20 mg·L^-1） groups showed decreased cell proliferation， migration， and colony formation. Compared with the control group， 10， 20 mg·L^-1 APS inhibited the proliferation of MGC-803 cells （P<0.01）， with 10 mg·L^-1 APS demonstrating stronger inhibitory effect. In addition， APS at 10， 20 mg·L^-1 inhibited the migration （P<0.01） and colony formation （P<0.05， P<0.01） of MGC-803 cells. Compared with the control group， APS at 10， 20 mg·L^-1 down-regulated the protein levels of ID1 （P<0.01） and Akt （P<0.05） and the mRNA levels of ID1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and Akt （P<0.05， P<0.01） in MGC-803 cells. ConclusionID1 and Akt are highly expressed in the gastric adenocarcinoma tissue， which may be related to the development of gastric cancer. APS can down-regulate the protein and mRNA levels of ID1 and Akt to exert anti-tumor effects， which is expected to provide new therapeutic targets for gastric cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative oral midazolam on postoperative de-lirium in elderly patients with preoperative moderate-severe anxiety undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods Eighty elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for radical resection of colorectal cancer,32 males and 48 females,aged 65-79 years,BMI 21-27 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,the state-trait anxiety inventory(STAI-S)≥38 scores at admission were selected.Patients were divided into two groups using random number method:control group and midazolam group,40 patients in each group.The midazolam group were administrated midazolam 7.5 mg per night till one day before surgery,while the placebo was administrated in the control group.The incidence of delirium 3 days after surgery and the STAI-S scores of one day before surgery were evaluated.The HR and MAP at entry,30 minutes after an-esthesia induction,1 hour,2 hours after anesthesia induction,and 30 minutes after extubation were recor-ded.The total dose of propofol,remifentanil and dexmedetomidine and the using rate of metaraminol were recorded.The visual analog scale scores 30 minutes after extubation,24 and 72 hours after surgery,the u-sing rate of tramadol,and the extubation time were recorded.Results Compared with the control group,the STAI-S scores of one day before surgery,and the incidence of postoperative delirium,the rate of using metaraminol,the VAS scores 30 minutes after extubation and 24 hours after surgery,the rate using of tram-adol were significantly decreased in the midazolam group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in total dose of propofol,remifentanil,and dexmedetomidine,extubation time between the two groups.Conclusion Preoperative oral midazolam can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients with preoperative moderate-severe anxiety undergoing radical resection of colorectal cancer.

To report a case of onychocytic carcinoma in China. A 76-year-old female patient presented with a subnail mass on her left thumb for 3 years. Skin examination showed thickening of the left thumb plate whose surface was partially yellow and black in color, slight curving of the distal plate, obvious telangiectasia under the nail plate, and verrucous hyperplasia under the nail plate and at the lateral edge of the nail plate. Histopathological examination showed that the tumor grew and infiltrated downward in clumps, with obvious keratosis and necrosis in the center of the mass, and many "squamous vortex" structures, atypical cells, and pathological mitotic figures could be seen. Immunohistochemical study revealed that HK31 and HK85 were positively expressed in the squamous vortex region, K6/K16 was positively expressed in the basal part of the tumor, and HK75 was strongly expressed in the whole tumor region. The diagnosis of onychocytic carcinoma was confirmed. The patient received surgical excision combined with 3 sessions of photodynamic therapy, and no recurrence was observed during 18 months of follow-up.

Objective:To elucidate the drug resistance characteristics and molecular epidemiological features of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in this region, and to provide a basis for clinical anti-infective therapy. Methods:A total of 92 CRKP isolates were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University and Ningbo No.2 Hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the VITEK2 Compact analyzer. Whole-genome sequencing was used to analyze their molecular characteristics including capsular serotypes, sequence types (multilocus sequencing typing) and resistance genes. Plasmid replicon types were identified using PlasmidFinder, and core genome phylogenetic analysis was performed with Parsnp.Results:The CRKP isolates were mainly isolated from critically ill elderly patients, with sputum (51.09%, 47/92) and urine (13.04%, 12/92) as the major specimen sources, followed by blood (8.70%, 8/92). Most of the infections were reported in the intensive care unit (33.70%, 31/92). All isolates showed high resistance to commonly used antibiotics, but lower resistance to polymyxin B (6.52%, 6/92). The predominant resistance gene, capsule serotype and ST were blaKPC-2 (78.26%, 72/92), KL64 (48.91%, 45/92), and ST11 (54.35%, 50/92), respectively. ST11-KL64 was the predominant clone, accounting for 46.74%(43/92) and carried multiple plasmids with IncR and IncFⅡ as the major types. Conclusions:CRKP in this region mainly harbored the blaKPC-2 resistance gene and showed high resistance to commonly used antibiotics. The ST11-KL64 clone spread widely in this region and the strains circulating in the two hospitals were similar. Thus, the surveillance should be strengthened.

Objective:To explore the model of first aid skills training based on competition.Method:The second-year residents who participated in the competition in 2021 ( n = 142) were selected. According to whether they attended BLS training in the first year, they were divided into group A ( n = 88) who attended BLS training and group B ( n = 54) who did not. Chi-square test, T test, Wilcoxon rank sum test and Logistic regression were used in our study. Results:There was no significant difference in gender and specialty between both groups (female, 62.5% vs. 68.5%, P= 0.466; TCM, 50% vs. 53.7%, P= 0.668), but the real resuscitation experience of group A was more than that of group B (40.9% vs. 9.3%, P= 0.000). The qualified rate of CPR and the compression score in group A was higher than that in group B [(81.8% vs. 61.1%, P = 0.006; (30±5) vs. (25 ±10), P= 0.001], including compression frequency, depth, rebound and compression/respiration rate (73.9% vs. 55.6%, P= 0.024; 88.6% vs. 70.4%, P= 0.006; 96.6% vs. 87%, P= 0.031). In the theoretical examination, the correct rates of electrocardiogram [(53.63±2.9)% vs. (50.44±2.57)%] and first aid medication [(57.38±3.55)%, P = 0.001] in the two groups were significantly lower than the qualified rate. After adjusting other factors, Logistic regression analysis showed that the CPR qualification rate in group A was 2.769 times higher than that in group B ( P= 0.015, 95% CI 1.215~6.311) Conclusions:The first aid skills training mode based on competition can objectively reflect first aid skills level of residents. We found that the quality of CPR skills was not related to gender, specialty and real CPR experiences but experience of BLS training was an independent influencing factor. And how to identify and manage arrhythmias and how to choose different emergency drugs are urgent emergency skills for residents to improve.

Objective:This work aims to assess the distribution of peripheral blood monocyte subsets, the expression level of the functional markers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and analyze the correlation between the above indexes and the onset of RA.Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected and isolated from 62 RA patients, 52 healthy control (HC) and 12 disease control group′s patients via density centrifugation. The enrolled patients were attended or underwent physical examination in East Hospital, Tongji University from June 2020 to December 2021. Monocytes could be classified into classical (CM), intermediate (IM) and non-classical (NCM). Then, the flow cytometry was performed to examine the distribution of monocyte subsets and the measure the expression level of human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR), intracellular tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in peripheral blood monocytes. The statistical methods in this study mainly include: Kruskal-Wallis H test, Chi-Square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test, Spearman correlation coefficient test and Logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic value of IM proportion in RA was analyzed by ROC curve. Results:The monocytes number and monocytes proportion in white blood cells were much higher in RA [0.40 (0.40, 0.50), 7.60% (5.97%, 8.53%)] and disease control [0.40 (0.40, 0.68), 8.20% (5.85%, 10.28%)] compared with HC [0.30 (0.30, 0.40), 5.80% (5.03%, 6.38%)] ( H=24.733, P<0.001; H=27.469, P<0.001). A statistic-significant difference was detected among the proportion of CM[85.49%(76.91%,89.21%),88.94%(86.36%,91.72%),90.26%(80.25%, 92.56%)],IM[11.65%(8.47%,17.89%),7.89%(5.36%,10.75%), 5.56%(4.17%, 8.27%)], NCM[2.22%(1.39%, 3.74%), 2.49%(1.74%, 4.66%), 5.13%(3.39%, 9.85%)] in RA group, HC group and disease control group ( H=11.389, P=0.003; H=20.815, P<0.001; H=10.640, P=0.005). The proportion of CM was lower in RA and the IM proportion was increased in RA( P=0.003; P=0.003). The intracellular TNF-α level of monocytes in all three groups revealed the trend that IM>NCM>CM. The intracellular TNF-α in IM of RA was positively associated with serum TNF-α ( r=0.376, P=0.041). The HLA-DR expression in IM subsets were higher than CM and NCM subsets in all RA,HC and disease control groups. The expression of HLA-DR of IM in RA group and disease control was higher than HC group [8 611.50 (6201.3, 9890.8), 10 295.0 (7 899.0, 13632.0), 6 278.00(4 057.8, 9522.0), H=10.495, P=0.005]. There were no correlations between the proportion of peripheral blood IM and clinical characteristics CRP ( r=0.119, P=0.359), RF ( r=0.204, P=0.112) and ESR ( r=0.153, P=0.236). Logistic regression analysis showed that the proportion of IM ( OR=1.169, 95% CI 1.003-1.363, P=0.046), CRP ( OR=1.277, 95% CI 1.000-1.631, P=0.050), RF ( OR=1.179, 95% CI 1.080-1.287, P<0.001) are positively correlated with RA onset. The area under ROC curve for diagnosis of RA with IM proportion was 0.687, and the 95% confidence interval was 0.590-0.784, P<0.001. Conclusions:The distribution of monocyte subsets in peripheral blood of RA patients is abnormal. The increase in the proportion of IM, the enhanced antigen-presenting ability, and the increased level of TNF-α secretion in RA patients may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the clini cal features of thrombocytopenia induced by antidepressants ，and to provide reference for the rational use of clinical drugs. METHODS ：Retrieved from CNKI ，Wanfang database ，VIP，PubMed and Web of Science，during Jan. 1st in 1985 to Aug. 31st in 2020，case reports about antidepressants-induced thrombocytopenia was collected and analyzed descriptively in terms of demographic characteristics ，medication，clinical manifestations ，treatment and outcome. RESULTS：A total of 17 literatures were retrieved ，and 19 patients were included ，involving 10 male and 9 female，aged from 5 to 95 years old ，with an average of （48±24）years old. Nine kinds of drugs were involved ，including 4 cases of escitalopram ，3 cases of citalopram ，3 cases of fluoxetine ，3 cases of mirtazapine ，2 cases of amitriptyline ，1 case of sertraline ，1 case of paroxetine，1 case of mianserin and 1 case of imipramine. There were 9 cases of single drug and 10 cases of drug combination. All 19 patients suffered from thrombocytopenia at 3 d-10 years after medication ，14 of them had hemorrhage tendency. Main clinical manifestations included mucocutaneous hemorrhage ，gingival bleeding ，black stool ，hematochezia，vaginal bleeding ，ocular hemorrhage，alveolar hemorrhage. No bleeding was found in 5 cases. After drug withdrawal/changing drugs and other symptomatic treatment， platelet count of 19 patients recovered to normal ， and bleeding symptoms disappeared. CONCLUSIONS ： Thrombocytopenia caused by antidepressants has no obvious clinical features and is not easy to be found ，but it may lead to severe； bleeding symptoms if it is not found in time. The changes of platelet count should be closely monitored in clinical application of such drugs to ensure the safety of drug use.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of combined detection of the promoter methylation of plasma free Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 genes in peripheral blood for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Methods The data of patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from January to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into colorectal cancer group (62 cases of colon cancer, 59 cases of rectal cancer), precancerous lesions group (77 cases of colorectal adenoma, 5 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia), interference group (61 cases of colorectal cancer and advanced adenoma negative but suffered other intestinal lesions, 17 cases of non-colorectal cancer) and healthy group (94 cases). The methylation status of three genes (Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1) in peripheral blood plasma was detected simultaneously by fluorescence PCR. The relationship between the positive rate of three genes detected jointly and the clinic pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer was analyzed and compared with serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) positive rate. The colorectal cancer group was divided into stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ according to TNM stage, and the colorectal cancer group was analyzed and counted by grade. The diagnostic efficiency of detection methods was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was compared.Results:The positive rate of combined detection of SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation was higher than other three groups (χ 2 =237.246, P<0.001). The positive rate of combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation was higher than CEA in colorectal cancer group ( P<0.001). The positive rates of the combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation in stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ of colorectal cancer group were 73%(16/22), 87%(34/39), 86%(30/35) and 96%(24/25), respectively. Compared with CEA group, the positive rate of combined detection of plasma Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ of colorectal cancer group was higher than serum CEA ( P<0.001), but the positive rate of stage Ⅳ was not statistically significant compared with CEA group ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 was 0.857(95% CI 0.810-0.903),0.819(95% CI 0.768-0.871)and 0.862(95% CI 0.816-0.909), respectively. The AUC of combined detection of three gene methylations was 0.889 (95% CI 0.846-0.933), and the AUC of combined detection with serum CEA was 0.913 (95% CI 0.874-0.951). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of combined detection of Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 gene methylation among different gender, age and cancerous site of colon cancer patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The combined detection of the promoter methylation of plasma free Septin9, SDC2 and BCAT1 genes in peripheral blood plasma is helpful for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The positive rate in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ of colorectal cancer group is higher than serum CEA. The combined diagnosis of the three genes can improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare type of paroxysmal dyskinesia with a population estimated incidence of 1/150, 000. PKD is likely correlated with genetics. Genetic studies have shown that, in addition to PRRT2 gene, mutations in SCN8A, KCNA1, CHRNA4, DEPDC5, PNKD, SLC2A1, KCNMA1, ADCY5 and other genes could also lead to PKD phenotypes. Functional imaging studies have found that PKD patients have subtle structural or functional abnormalities in the cortex, basal ganglia and thalamus. This paper reviews the recent advances in genetics and functional imaging of PKD, aiming at helping us to further understand the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of PKD.
