Objective To investigate the effects of the number of harvested lymph nodes in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) combined with surgery on prognosis of middle-low rectal cancer.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 373 patients with middle-low rectal cancer who underwent nCRT combined with surgery in the Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2009 to December 2013 were collected.There were 241 males and 132 females,aged from 26 to 81 years,with the age of (55 ± 11) years.Observation indicators:(1) treatment situations;(2) follow-up and survival;(3)influencing factors for the number of harvested lymph nodes;(4) prognostic analysis of the different number of harvested lymph nodes as cut-off for grouping;(5) stratified analysis.Follow-up using telephone interview and outpatient examination was performed to detect postoperative survival of patients once every three months within postoperative 2 years and once every 6 months during the postoperative third year up to March 2016.The endpoint of follow-up was tumor recurrence,retastasis or death.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD,and comparison between groups was done using the independent sample t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range),and comparison between groups was done using the Kruska1-Wallis H test.Count data was described as absolute numbers.Univariate and multivariate analyses were done by the multiple linear regression model.Survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method,and Logrank test was used for survival analysis.Results (l) Treatment situations:373 patients underwent nCRT combined with surgery,including 329 combined with sphincter-sparing rectal resection and 44 combined with abdominoperineal rectal resection.The number of harvested lymph nodes was 12 ± 6 in 373 patients.There were 185 patients with the number of harvested lymph nodes ＜ 12 and 188 with the number of harvested lymph nodes ≥ 12.(2) Follow-up and survival:373 patients were followed up for 5-77 months,with a median follow-up time of 43 months.During the follow-up,the 1-,3-,5-year disease-free survival rates were respectively 90.4％,76.3％,and 67.5％ in the 373 patients.(3) Influencing factors for the number of harvested lymph nodes:univariate analysis showed that distance between the tumor and anal verge,tumor diameter,tumor pathological N staging,and regression grade of rectal cancer were associated factors for the number of harvested lymph nodes (t =3.156,2.992,x2=8.183,10.839,P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that distance between the tumor and anal verge,regression grade of rectal cancer,and tumor pathological N staging were independent factors for the number of harvested lymph nodes (t=3.308,2.690,2.584,95％ confidence interval:0.808-3.180,0.446-2.873,0.332-2.448,P＜0.05).(4) Prognostic analysis of the different number of harvested lymph nodes as cut-off for grouping:with the number of harvested lymph nodes of 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,and 16 as cut-off for grouping,there was no significant difference in the 3-year disease-free survival rate,cumulative local recurrence rate,and cumulative distant metastasis rate between ＜6 group and ≥6 group,between ＜7 group and ≥7 group,between＜8 group and ≥8 group,between ＜9 group and ≥9 group,between ＜10 group and ≥ 10 group,between ＜11 group and ≥ll group,between ＜12 group and ≥12 group,between ＜13 group and ≥13 group,between ＜ 14 group and ≥ 14 group,between ＜ 15 group and ≥ 15 group,between ＜ 16 group and ≥ 16 group,respectively (P＞0.05).(5) Stratified analysis:with the number of harvested lymph nodes of 7,8,9,and 10 as cut-off for grouping in 45 of 373 patients with Ⅱ-Ⅲ regression grade of rectal cancer and negative lymph nodes (NO staging),there was no significant difference in the 3-year disease-free survival rate between ＜7 group and ≥ 7group,between ＜8 group and ≥8 group,between ＜9 group and ≥9 group,between＜10 group and ≥ 10 group,respetively (x2 =3.946,5.346,6.375,4.297,P＜0.05).Conclusions The number of lymph nodes as 12 is not the independent factor for prognosis of patients with middle-low rectal cancer after nCRT combined with surgery.The number of harvested lymph nodes as 7 to 10 is the important factor for evaluating the prognosis of middle-low rectal cancer patients with Ⅱ-Ⅲ regression grade of rectal cancer and negative lymph nodes after nCRT combined with surgery.

Objective:To investigate the etiological diagnostic value of metagenomic sequencing in central nervous system (CNS) infectious diseases.Methods:A total of 170 patients with central nervous system infection admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the study subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. General clinical data and pathogen test results were collected. All included patients underwent routine examination and mNGS test, and were divided into the conventional method test group and mNGS test group according to the test results. The measurement data conforming to normal distribution were represented by ± s; The measurement data that did not conform to normal distribution were represented by median and interquartile range. The classification data were expressed by the number of cases and percentage( n,%), and were compared by χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Consistency test was represented by Kappa value. The detection of pathogenic microorganisms by the two methods and the rule of pathogen spectrum were compared and analyzed. Results:The overall positive rate of mNGS in CNS infectious diseases was higher than that of conventional methods (58.23% vs. 18.82%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Among the 20 samples which were both positive by the two methods, 10 cases were completely pathogenic, 5 cases were partially consistent and 5 cases were completely inconsistent. In the detection of tuberculous nervous system infection, the positive rates were 66.7%, 53.8%, 44.0%, 40.0%, 4.0% in blood T-SPOT, cerebrospinal fluid mNGS, ADA, Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA and tuberculous specific antibody, respectively. The positive rate of acid-fast staining was 0. The positive rate of mNGS combined with conventional method was 80.8%. Conclusions:The detection rate of mNGS in CNS infection is better than that of conventional methods. However, it does not show obvious superiority in the detection rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated nervous system infection. In general, mNGS detection of pathogenic bacteria is more extensive, which is conducive to a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the bacterial characteristics of central nervous system infection. The combination of the two methods can make up for the deficiency of clinical routine detection to a certain extent, and can maximize the detection rate.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning and the differences in the severity of poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2020. The general information, exposure time, poisoning dose, poisoning cause, poisoning route, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results during hospitalization, treatment measures, hospital stays and prognosis of the patients were collected. The patients were graded according to the poisoning severity scoring standard of Chinese Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Poisoning in 2016. The highest severity score during hospitalization was used as the final grade. According to the final grade, asymptomatic and mild patients were included in the mild group, and moderate, severe and death patients were included in the severe group. The independent sample T test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used for counting data. The differences of general data and clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning were selected as the study subjects. All patients survived, mainly mild poisoning (56.6%), with a male to female ratio of 33∶50, and an average age of 39 years. The number of poisoning cases increased yearly (the highest in 2019), and most cases occurred in spring and summer. The main cause of poisoning was suicide (71.1%), direct oral administration (83.1%) was the primary route of poisoning, and the dominating clinical manifestations were digestive symptoms (71.1%). Laboratory tests showed increased white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT %) and D-dimer, and decreased hemoglobin and potassium. Compared with the mild group, patients in the severe group were older [(51±17) years vs. (35±19) years], had a higher proportion of suicide and direct oral administration, a longer hospital stay [8.0 (4.8, 12.0) d vs. 3.0 (2.0, 5.5) d], a higher dose of poisoning [200.0 (50.0, 200.0) mL vs. 30.0 (11.3, 57.5) mL], and higher NEUT % within 24 h of admission [(83.4±10.4) vs. (73.2±12.8)]. The increase of WBC, NEUT %, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time, D-dimer and the decrease of serum potassium were more common in the severe group than the mild group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning is increasing yearly. Generally, the condition is mild and the prognosis is satisfying. The severity is more serious in the middle-aged and elderly patients andthose with direct oral administration, high toxic dose, and high NEUT % within 24 h of admission. Severe poisoning is more likely to cause changes in laboratory indicators.

Objective To describe a rhesus monkey model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) established via repetitive unilateral intra-amygdala kainic acid (KA) injection and provide experimental basis for epileptogenic network and related research. Methods Eight male adult rhesus monkeys were randomly divided into KA injection group (n=6) and saline injection group (n=2). Brain stereotaxic technique, micro catheter implantation into the right amygdaloid nucleus, subcutaneous bladder connection, and continuous video-EEG monitoring were performed, and KA or saline injection into their right amygdala was achieved. Interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs), ictal discharges and behavioural performance between the two groups were compared right after injection and within 6 months of first discharge. Results Typical IEDs were recorded in the 6 monkeys from KA injection group after 2-4 times of KA injection, with focal spike waves discharges at the right temple area as manifestation; ictal discharges were recorded in 4 monkeys, with discharge patterns of discharges from the right temple area to the whole brain as manifestation, and during epileptic attack, these 4 monkeys suddenly stopped and dumbfounded without obvious limb seizures. Monkeys from the saline injection group showed no obvious abnormal behaviors. Conclusion Through a modified protocol of unilateral repetitive intra-amygdala KA injection, a rhesus monkey model with high similarity of behavioral and brain electrical features to TLE is developed.
