Objectives To study application efficiencies of two types of intestinal ostomy in the treatment of elderly patients with obstructive sigmoid colon cancer and colorectal cancer.Methods 62 elderly patients with obstructive sigmoid colon cancer and rectal cancer from January 2013 to January 2016 in our hospital were chosen.The patients were divided into loop ileostomy group(n=32) and colostomy group(n=30)depending on the type of therapy.And the stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ operative time,hospital stay,postoperative fasting time and postoperative complication incidence rates were compared between the two groups.Results The postoperative fasting time was significantly shorter in loop ileostomy group than in colostomy group during stage Ⅰ surgery(2.5 ± 0.5)d vs.(4.6 ± 0.6)d(t=14.3644,P =0.0000).In stage Ⅱ surgery,the operative time,hospital stay,postoperative fasting time (2.9 ± 0.6)d vs.(4.9 ± 0.4)d,(1.4 ± 0.4)d vs.(2.5 ±± 0.3)d,(6.3± 1.4d)vs.(8.8±1.2)d were significantly lower in the loop ileostomy group than in the colostomy group(t=-15.2762、-10.9714、-7.6601,all P =0.0000).Conclusions Compared with colostomy technique,the loop ileostomy has advantages including shorter operation time,lower incidence of postoperative complications and quicker recovery after surgery for elderly patients with obstructive sigmoid colon cancer and colorectal cancer.

Objective To determine the activity concentration of radionuclides for 137Cs and 40K in edible wild mushrooms,and to evaluate the extent of radioactive contamination and ingestion doses to adults from consumption of these wild mushrooms.Methods A total of 33 samples for 18 edible wild mushroom species were collected from natural forest Mangshi,Yunnan province.The activity concentrations of 137Cs and 40K were analyzed by using high-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry.Results Except.for one sample that was below the MDA,137Cs artificial radionuclides were detected in other 32 samples,with activity concentration of 137Cs in the range of 0.45-339.58 Bq/kg (dry weight) and an average of 25.47 Bq/kg (dry weight).In regards to 40K in edible mushrooms,all species presented the activity concentrations for this radionuclide and the levels varied from 453.4 to 1 882.6 Bq/kg (dry weight),with an average of 815.1 Bq/kg (dry weight).After species of mushroom with only one sample were eliminated,there was significant difference for 137Cs(F =21.13,P < 0.05) among 6 species of mushroom named Gomphus floccosus (Schw.) Sing.,Boletus edulis bull,Boletus edulis bull,Tylopllus bolloul (Peck) Sing.,Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing.and Boletus brunneissimus W.F.Chin,but without significant difference for 40K.Conclusions These 6 different mushroom species have different capacity to retain radionuclides of 137Cs in soil.These wild mushrooms,such as Gomphus floccosus (Schw.) Sing.and Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing.have large affinity ability for radionuclides137Cs.The effective dose to adults attributable to consuming these kinds of mushrooms is small and below the level that could cause harm.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the morphological features of the Pneumocystis jirovecii, in order to facilitate early detection and rapid diagnosis of this rare pathogen from a morphology point of view by laboratory technicians. By analyzing the laboratory features and application value of different pathogen detection methods in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, we aim to provide the most reliable diagnostic basis for rapid diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the test results of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from a comprehensive hospital in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, and a hospital in Changde City from April 2022 to October 2022. Five confirmed cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia were detected. Its clinical manifestations, laboratory results, and morphological characteristics of pathogens under different stains were analyzed to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different detection methods. Results Cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid found the trophozoites and cysts of Pneumocystis jirovecii by Wright's-Giemsa staining in 4 cases (80%), and the cysts of Pneumocystis jirovecii by Silver hexamine staining in 4 cases (80%), while the metagenomic next-generation sequencing confirmed all the 5 positive results. All 5 patients had different degrees of reduction in the absolute count of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and the serum lactic dehydrogenase and (1-3)-β-D-Glucan were increased. Among the 5 patients in this study, 4 were treated with sulfamethoxazole combined with caspofungin, and 1 was treated with sulfamethoxazole. Three patients were cured and discharged from hospital after treatment, but two died. Conclusions The method of Wright's-Giemsa staining for the cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid to find Pneumocystis jirovecii has the unique and irreplaceable advantages as silver staining. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing can further increase the positive detection rate of Pneumocystis jirovecii. The combination of cytological examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with metagenomic nextgeneration sequencing is a powerful diagnostic method for rapid diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, which can diagnose accurately and reduce missed diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo describe the characteristic of tongue images of patients with lung cancer of different Chinese medicine (CM) syndromes and to reveal the elemental rule on the changes of the tongue images.
METHODSA total of 207 patients with lung cancer were divided into four syndrome groups according to the theory of CM: Fei and Shen deficiency syndrome (Group A, 72 cases), Pi deficiency and phlegm deficiency and phlegm) and Shen (deficiency and phlegm) deficiency syndrome (Group A, 72 cases), Pi (deficiency and phlegm) deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome (Group B, 57 cases), phlegm-heat retention in Fei (Group C, 36 cases) and yin asthenia generating intrinsic heat syndrome (Group D, 42 cases). The tongue parameters were detected by tongue image digital analysis instrument, and the tongue images were described with qualitative, tongue color and quantitative analysis, respectively. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) L·a·b (CIELAB) color model was used for the quantitative classification.
RESULTSThere was a significant statistical difference between different syndrome groups of lung cancer on tongue color, coating color, and thickness of tongue coating (P<0.01), and there was significant statistical difference between the four syndrome groups on Lab values of the tongue and coating (P<0.05). The correct identification rate of discriminant function on the raw data was 65.7%, including 72.2% for Group C, 69.4% for Group A, 69.0% for Group D and 54.4% for Group B.
CONCLUSIONSA tongue image digital analysis instrument can objectively describe the tongue features of patients with different syndromes of lung cancer. The tongue diagnosis is very important to syndrome differentiation in CM. Tongue diagnosis should be combined with some important characteristics of syndromes in the future to establish a "combination of four examination methods, including inspection, auscultation, interrogation, and pulse-feeling and palpation" in the tongue diagnostic system.
