As the public sanitation product of the government for the society,most of the public hospitals have the privilege of the free taxations and the finance subsidies.In theory,the hospitals have the duty to offer all the patients the timely and rational cure,especially the dying patients.In reality,some hospitals often appear some kinds of nonfeasance unfortunately when they face the dying patients because of the public policy and the private rule "ready money cure".The direct aftereffect is that the patient will get worse or even die.Consequently,it's necessary to confirm the characters and the components of the nonfeasance theoretically.Thus it's easy to distinguish the hospital duty and the patient right and also the legal relationship between them on further degree,and the liabilities in accordance.

Objective To compare the clinical curative effect and security between microwave ablation treatment and surgical resection of benign thyroid nodules.Methods The imaging and clinical data of 100 cases of patients with benign thyroid nodules were collected,44 cases with 53 nodules were treated by microwave ablation treatment (ablation group),and 56 cases with 60 nodules were treated by surgical resection (surgery group).The rates of nodule regression in 1,3,6,12months after treatment,the size and changes of benign thyroid nodules in patients treated with microwave ablation therapy,as well as postoperative adverse reactions,time of inhospital were observed.Results The rates of nodule regression in 1,3,6,12 months therapy group were 54.55 ％,72.73 ％,95.45 ％,95.45 ％,while the rates in surgeny group were 100 ％.In the 1,3 months after treatment,the rates of nodule regression in ablation group were lower than those in surgery group (both P＜0.001).In the 6,12 months after treatment,the rates had no statistically significant differences in both groups (both P=0.245).With the extension of observation time,the nodule volume of the patients treated with microwave ablation therapy had a tendency to continue to shrink,particularly in the first 6 months.The incidence of hypothyroidism in ablation group was lower than surgery group (P=0.019).The difference of the incidence s of hematoma,infection,voice hoarse,parathyroid injury were not statistically significant in both groups (all P＞0.05).The time of inhospital in ablation group was obviously shorter than that in surgery group (t=-8.499,P=0.001).Conclusion Microwave ablation treatment of benign thyroid nodules has guaranteed results.It has the following advantages such as less complications,small trauma,short hospitalization time.So it has a broad prospect in clinical application.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of ulinastatin on the lungs in patients undergoing lung resection after chemotherapy for lung cancer.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with lung cancer(Ⅲ a)aged 54-71yr weighing 55-74 kg undergoing lung resection after chemotherapy were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=15 each):Ⅰ ulinastatin group received ulinastatin 10 000 U?kg~(-1) after induction of anesthesia and Ⅱ control group received normal saline instead of ulinastatin.The patients were premeditated with intramuscular pothidine 70 mg and scopolamine 0.3 mg or atropine 0.5 mg.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg?kg~(-1),fentanyl 4 ?g?kg~(-1) propofol 0.5-1.0 mg?kg~(-1) and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and maintained with 1%-2% isoflurane inhalation and vecuronium infusion at 0.06-0.08 mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1).Blood samples were taken after induction of anesthesia(T_1,baseline),at 40 and 90 rain of one-lung ventilation(T_2,T_3) for determination of serum IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and TNF-? concentrations.Lung specimen was taken from the operated lung at 90 min of one-lung ventilation for microscopic examination with light and electron microscopo.Results Serum IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and TNF-? concentrations were all significantly increased during one-lung ventilation as compared to the baseline values at T_1 in both groups.Serum IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-? concentrations were significantly lower while Serum IL-10 concentration was significantly higher in ulinastatin group than in control group during one-lung ventilation(P＜0.05).The histopathologic changes of lung tissue were significantly less in group utinastatin than in group control.Conclusion Ulinastatin can effectively protect the lung in patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy by reducing systemic inflammatory response.

Objective To verify the trueness and assess the traceability of results from a routine chemistry system procedure for measurement of urea and ereatinine in serun.Methods Series of fresh frozen patieot sera,whose values of urea or creatinine were assigned by isotope dilution gas chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-GC/MS) or isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS/MS),were chosen to be analyzed by a routine chemistry system.The measurement results of urea and creatinine by the routine chemistry system were used for linear regression analysis against the assigned values bv the ID-MS method to calculate the percentage deviation and assess the expected bias.Results For urea and creatinine,the linear regression equations between the routine chemistry system and ID-MS methods were Y =0.9890X + 0.0192 (R2 =0.9990) and Y =0.9815X-6.4794 (R2 =0.9989),and the average percentage bias were-0.41％ (P ＞0.05) and-4.20％ (P ＜ 0.05),respectively.The expected percentage bias at three medical decision levels were-0.46％,-0.83％ and-0.96％ for urea and -15.90％,-5.87％ and-2.95％ for creatinine.Conclusions The results of urea analyzed by the routine chemistry system were consistent with the ID-MS method,which suggested that the results of the routine system procedure could be traced to ID-GC/MS method.For creatinine,the bias between the results of routine procedures and the assigned values met the minimum acceptance criteria' derived from biologic deviations,which would be better if its specificity improved.

AIM: To investigate the effects of non-ventilated lung with N_2O on systemic oxygenation and lactic acid level in arterial blood during one lung anesthesia. METHODS: Twenty-two patients, ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ, scheduled for selective pulmonary surgery, were randomly divided into two groups: control group (group A, n=11) and observation group (group B, n=11). Group A: the non-ventilated lung was kept open to the air; group B: N_2O 2 cmH_2O through CPAP system was insufflated into the non-ventilated lung during one lung ventilation. The anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam (0.05 mg?kg~(-1)), propofol (0.5-1.0 mg?kg~(-1)), fentanyl (4 ?g?kg~(-1)), and vecuronium (0.1 mg?kg~(-1)) and was maintained with inhaling isoflurane. Blood gas analysis and lactic acid was recorded 20 min after two-lung ventilation (TLV) in the supine position, 20 min after one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the supine position, 20 min and 40 min after OLV in the lateral position and at the end of operation and the shunt fraction was calculated. RESULTS: PaO_2 in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P

Objective To investigate radioactivity levels in the main agriculture products around a uranium mine in Northern Guangxi.Methods The agriculture products and soil samples were collected and analyzed by using HPGe gamma ray spectrometer.Results The specific activity of 226Ra in radish (including leaf),radish leaves and radish,collected in one place,were 45.0,66.7 and 32.3 Bq/kg,respectively.Those of 226Ra and 23SU in the radish soil collected in the same place were 19 672 and 85 917 Bq/kg,respectively.The transfer coefficients of soil-to-radish and soil-to-leaves were 1.61 × 10-3 and 3.40 × 10-3,consistent with those reported in relevant literature.Radioactivity levels in agricultural products in another survey was in consistence with those in the national survey for food products.Radioactivity levels in soil elsewhere near the radish site was consistent with the results of the national soil radioactivive background survey.Conclusions The soil in this place has been contaminated by the nearby uranium mine.It is important to investigate this place further and take the necessary measures.

Objective To establish a HRM assay to screen for KRAS mutations in clinical colorectal cancer patients.Methods The sensitivity of HRM was analyzed by detecting somatic mutations in exon 2,notably codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene in the serial plasmid mixture samples which were mixed using the different proportions mutation plasmid and wide type plasmid of KRAS.HRM analysis was performed for KRAS on DNA insolated from a panel of 60 colorectal cancer samples derived from fresh tissues.The results were compared with the direct sequencing data.Results After the PCR amplification,the mutation results could be available by performing HRM analysis in the same tube on a real time PCR machine with HRM capability.HRM detection could identify KRAS mutation in a proportion of 10% of mutation plasmid DNA.All 60 samples identified the KRAS mutation by HRM and sequencing.17 samples were positive(28.3%) by HRM for KRAS exon 2 mutations,and 15 samples were confirmed the presence of codon 12 or 13 mutations(25.0%) and the other 2 samples were wild type by sequencing.The 60 samples detected by HRM were given 100% sensitivity with 96% specificity.Conclusions HRM is a sensitive intube methodology to screen for mutations in clinical samples.HRM will enable high-throughput screening to gene mutations to allow appropriate therapeutic choices for patients and accelerate research aimed at identifying novel mutations in human cancer.

Objective To investigate the association and mechanism between glutathione S-transferase P1(GSTP1) and radiation-induced lung injury.Methods Two effective GSTP1 siRNAs were designed and synthesized.The normal lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B cells were transfected with GSTP1 siRNA (experimental group,siRNA-1,siRNA-2) and negative control siRNA (negative control group,NC).Western blot was performed to detect the expression levels of GSTP1 protein and EMT-related proteins.CDNB was adopted to evaluate the activity of GSTs.DCFH-DA probe was used for incubation.Flow cytometry was conducted to detect the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) and cellular apoptosis.Annexin-v/PI staining was utilized for incubation.MTT assay was performed to measure the proliferation of BEAS-2B,and the growth curve was drawn based on the results.Results After radiation,compared with the NC group,the ROS level and MFI were significantly higher in experimental group (6774.66±399.60 vs.8759.00±256.96 vs.9967.67±735.11,P＜0.05).In the experimental group,the percentage of cellular apoptosis was remarkably higher than that in the NC group (12.3± 1.16 vs.17.38± 1.65 vs.22.88± 1.20,P＜0.05).MTT assay demonstrated that the OD values in the experimental group were significantly lower than that in the NC group everyday.Further more,the level of EMT process is higher in the experimental group.Conclusions Interfering with the GSTP1 expression in lung epithelial cells can increase the intracellular ROS level,increase the percentage of cellular apoptosis,and reduce the cell proliferation rate following γ-radiation.Besides,it can also promote the epithelial mesenchymal transition in lung epithelial cells.The down-regulation of GSTP1 protein expression level probably aggravates the radiationinduced lung cell injury and promotes the epithelial mesenchymal transition.

Objective:To explore the classification performance of combined model constructed from CT signs combined with radiomics for discriminating COVID-19 pneumonia and other viral pneumonia.Methods:The clinical and CT imaging data of 181 patients with viral pneumonia confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in 15 hospitals of Yunnan Province from March 2015 to March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The 181 patients were divided into COVID-19 group (89 cases) and non-COVID-19 group (92 cases), which were further divided into training cohort (126 cases) and test cohort (55 cases) at a ratio of 7∶3 using random stratified sampling. The CT signs of pneumonia were determined and the radiomics features were extracted from the initial unenhanced chest CT images to build independent and combined models for predicting COVID-19 pneumonia. The diagnostic performance of the models were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, continuous net reclassification index (NRI) calibration curve and decision curve analysis.Results:The combined models consisted of 3 significant CT signs and 14 selected radiomics features. For the radiomics model alone, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.904 (sensitivity was 85.5%, specificity was 84.4%, accuracy was 84.9%) in the training cohort and 0.866 (sensitivity was 77.8%, specificity was 78.6%, accuracy 78.2%) in the test cohort. After combining CT signs and radiomics features, AUC of the combined model for the training cohort was 0.956 (sensitivity was 91.9%, specificity was 85.9%, accuracy was 88.9%), while that for the test cohort was 0.943 (sensitivity was 88.9%, specificity was 85.7%, accuracy was 87.3%). The AUC values of the combined model and the radiomics model in the differentiation of COVID-19 group and the non-COVID-19 group were significantly different in the training cohort ( Z=-2.43, P=0.015), but difference had no statistical significance in the test cohort ( Z=-1.73, P=0.083), and further analysis using the NRI showed that the combined model in both the training cohort and the test cohort had a positive improvement ability compared with radiomics model alone (training cohort: continuous NRI 1.077, 95 %CI 0.783-1.370; test cohort: continuous NRI 1.421, 95 %CI 1.051-1.790). The calibration curve showed that the prediction probability of COVID-19 predicted by the combined model was in good agreement with the observed value in the training and test cohorts; the decision curve showed that a net benefit greater than 0.6 could be obtained when the threshold probability of the combined model was 0-0.75. Conclusion:The combination of CT signs and radiomics might be a potential method for distinguishing COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia with good performance.

Objective:To explore MRI T 2-mapping and blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) to evaluate the functional changes of paraspinal muscle in rats with discogenic low back pain (DLBP) after swimming. Methods:Totally 54 female 1-month-old SD rats were selected, which were divided into 3 groups by random number table method, sham operation (Sham) group, DLBP non-swimming group and DLBP swimming group, with 18 rats in each group. Under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy, the L4/5 and L5/6 intervertebral discs of the rats in the DLBP non-swimming group and DLBP swimming group were punctured by the posterior approach, and establishment of DLBP rat model by destroying nucleus pulposus, and only paraspinal muscles at the same level were punctured in the Sham group. After modeling, the DLBP swimming group received swimming exercise intervention for 5 consecutive days (30 min/d), while the DLBP non-swimming group and Sham group did not receive any rehabilitation exercise intervention. Each group was divided into 3 time point subgroups on average, the T 2-mapping and BOLD sequences were scanned at 30, 90 and 180 days after modeling to obtain the T 2 value, R 2* value of the paraspinal muscles, and the paraspinal muscles at the modeling level were taken for immunofluorescence staining, and the fluorescence intensity of myosin heavy chain (MYH)1 (type Ⅱ muscle fiber) and MYH7 (type I muscle fiber) was analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among the 3 groups, and the Bonferroni method was used for multiple comparisons, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between quantitative MRI parameters T 2 value, R 2* value and MYH1, MYH7 immunofluorescence intensity of rat paraspinal muscles at 180 days after modeling. Results:At 30 days after modeling, there was no significant difference in T 2 value and R 2* value among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). At 90 days after modeling, the T 2 value of the DLBP swimming group was higher than that of the DLBP non-swimming group, and the T 2 value of the DLBP non-swimming group was lower than that of the Sham group (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the R 2* value among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the T 2 value of the DLBP swimming group was higher than that of the DLBP non-swimming group, and the R 2* value was lower than that of the DLBP non-swimming group; the T 2 value of the DLBP non-swimming group was lower than that of the Sham group, and the R 2* value was higher than that of the Sham group (all P<0.05). At 30 and 90 days after modeling, there was no significant difference in the expressions of MYH1 and MYH7 among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the expression of MYH1 decreased and the expression of MYH7 increased in the DLBP swimming group compared with the DLBP non-swimming group; the expression of MYH1 increased and the expression of MYH7 decreased in the DLBP non-swimming group compared with the Sham group (all P<0.05). At 180 days after modeling, the T 2 value had a moderate negative correlation with the fluorescence intensity of MYH1 ( r=-0.511, P=0.043), and a moderate positive correlation with the fluorescence intensity of MYH7 ( r=0.564, P=0.023); R 2* value was moderate positive correlated with the fluorescence intensity of MYH1 ( r=0.625, P=0.010), and moderate negative correlated with the fluorescence intensity of MYH7 ( r=-0.653, P=0.006). Conclusions:Swimming exercise can improve the reduction of water content and perfusion in the paraspinal muscles of DLBP rats, and reduce the transformation of muscle fibers from type Ⅰ to type Ⅱ, the changes of T 2 and R 2* value can reflect the transformation of paraspinal muscle fiber types to a certain extent.
