Objective To investigate the pathologic morphology and immunohistochemical phenotypes of sarcomatoid carcinoma(SC) of the fallopian tube.Methods One case of SC of the fallopian tube was studied under the light microscopy for morphology.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CK,EMA,S-100,Desmin,SMA,Leu-7,CD68,actin,and Vimentin in SC tissues.Pathologic features and biological behaviors of SC were analyzed in combination with the review of literature.Results Microscopically carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements co-existed.Usually the sarcomatous element formed the bulk of the lesion.In the sarcomatous tissues,there was no distinguishable bone,cartilage,rhadomyosarcoma,etc. Immunohistochemically the strong expression of CK7,EMA and Vimentin,and the partial expression of S-100,SMA,Leu7,CD68 and actin were detected.Conclusion SC of the fallopian tube is lack of specific symptoms,and its preoperative diagnosis is difficult.B-ultrasonography,CT and MRI are helpful to the staging of SC.Final diagnosis of SC depends on pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.SC is rare,and undergoes blood metastasis in early stage.Prognosis of SC is worst.Early detection of SC is the key to improve the prognosis.

Objective To study the effects of treating herpes zoster with the combination of Chinese and western medicine.Methods 160 cases of herpes zoster were randomly recruited into a treatment group(n=80),and a control group (n=80).The control group was treated with westem medicine(acyclovir,ethacridine solvents,and vitamin B6 and B12).The treatment group was administrated with Chinese medicines,acupuncture and cupping on the basis of treats in the control group Results The total effective rate was 100%in the treatment group and 72.5%in the control group.There was significant difference between the two groups(χ~2=23.85,P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of Chinese and western medicine is effective in treating herpes zoster and worthy of generalization.

Objective To study the effects of experiment-related factors on hematological parameters in SD rats, analyze the data difference and causes, understand the effects of anesthetics and stress responses on the physiological aspects of animals, and to provide a reference for the standardization of animal welfare and compound toxicity testing methods.Methods According to gender (A), fasting time (B), anesthesia (C) and blood collection mode (D), SPF SD rats were divided into 24 groups.Blood samples were collected from each group.Then, red blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, white blood cell count and classification indicators were measured.Results The primary and secondary order of the factors affecting the white blood cell count was D > C > A > B, and the levels of white blood cell count of each factor were male rats > female rats, and venous blood > arterial blood, chloral hydrate > pentobarbital sodium > no anesthesia.The primary and secondary order of the factors affecting the white blood cell classification was C > D=A=B, and factors affecting the levels of white blood cell classification were chloral hydrate > pentobarbital sodium > no anesthesia.The primary and secondary order of the effects of the factors on the red blood cell count and hemoglobin level was C > D=A=B, and the levels of red blood cell count and hemoglobin level were pentobarbital sodium > chloral hydrate> no anesthesia.There was no significant difference in the blood indexes between the different fasting time groups.Conclusions There is no effect of fasting on hematological parameters, but there are differences in the blood parameters between arteries and veins.The effect of chloral hydrate anesthesia on the count and classification of white blood cells is greater than that of pentobarbital sodium.The effect of chloral hydrate anesthesia on the red blood cell count and hemoglobin level is greater than that of pentobarbital sodium.The two kinds of anesthesia methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Objective This report aims to assess the exposure risk of aflatoxin B1 in edible vegetable oil in Guangxi.Methods By using margin of exposure (MOE),the report analyzes the dietary exposure of aflatoxin B1 in edible vegetable oil with the data from contamination survey and dietary intake survey.Results For the vegetable oil sample,the content of aflatoxin B1 was between 0.50-320.00 μg/kg.The detection rate of peanut oil was 78.08% (114/146) which was higher than other vegetable oil,and the exceeding rate was 31.51% (46/146).For peanut oil,the average content was 30.80 μg/kg,the dietary exposure of the population was 17.30 ng/kg BW,and the MOE was 18.For the prepackaged peanut oil samples,the average content of aflatoxin B1 was 6.33 μg/kg,which was below the limit.While for the bulk peanut oil,the average content of AFB1 was 41.50 μg/kg,which was more than 1.08 times of the limit,and the dietary exposure was 25.59 ng/kg BW.The MOE of bulk peanut oil was 12,1/8 of the prepackaged peanut oil.Conclusion Food safety regulators should pay more attention to bulk peanut oil products,the priority in the risk management measures.At the same time,related department should also promote healthy education for the residents.

Objective:
The relationship between adverse childhood experiences and methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) has been shown in previous studies; nevertheless, the underlying neural mechanisms remain elusive. Childhood trauma is associated with aberrant functional connectivity (FC) within the default-mode network (DMN). Furthermore, within the DMN, FC may contribute to impaired self-awareness in addiction, while cross-network FC is critical for relapse.We aimed to investigate whether childhood trauma was associated with DMN-related resting-state FC among healthy controls and patients with MUD and to examine whether DMN-related FC affected the effect of childhood trauma on the symptom load of MUD diagnosis.
Methods:
Twenty-seven male patients with MUD and 27 male healthy controls were enrolled and completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. DMN-related resting-state FC was examined using functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Results:
There were 47.1% healthy controls and 66.7% MUD patients in this study with adverse childhood experiences.Negative correlations between adverse childhood experiences and within-DMN FC were observed in both healthy controls and MUD patients, while within-DMN FC was significantly altered in MUD patients. The detrimental effects of adverse childhood experiences on MUD patients may be attenuated through DMN-executive control networks (ECN) FC.
Conclusion
Adverse childhood experiences were negatively associated with within-DMN FC in MUD patients and healthy controls. However, DMN-ECN FC may attenuate the effects of childhood trauma on symptoms load of MUD.
