Objective To retrospectively evaluate the value of SPECT/CT imaging for follow-up of bone metastases.Methods A total of 178 patients with bone metastases (387 lesions) underwent 2 or more events of whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBS) and SPECT/CT imaging.Sequential images were analyzed by 2 experienced,nuclear medicine physicians.Each lesion was interpreted as progressive,remissive or stable in WBS or SPECT/CT independently.Reasons for the discordance between WBS and SPECT/CT results were analyzed.The results of clinical follow-up,including clinical symptoms,tumor markers,serum ALP,radiograph,CT and MRI,were likewise classified as progressive,remissive or stable.The x2 test was used to compare the differences between the two imaging methods.Results The follow-up results of the two imaging methods were consistent in 313 (80.88％,313/387) lesions,including 208 in progression and 105 in remission or stable condition.Among the 74(19.12％,74/387) lesions showing discordance,48 showed remission or stable conditions on WBS but progression on SPECT/CT (64.86％,48/74) ; while 26 showed progression on WBS but remission or stable condition on SPECT/CT (35.14％,26/74).There was a statistically significant difference of the follow-up results between WBS and SPECT/CT (x2 =6.54,P ＜0.05).Conclusion SPECT/CT is more valuable than WBS for follow-up of bone metastases.

Objective To develop a new strategy for preparing large-area full-thickness skin grafts with donor incisions small enough to allow direct suture under low pressure.Methods A geometrical analysis was carried out to design the best strategy to obtain skin grafts with minimal donor defect.In this strategy,two semicircular donor skin grafts are subjected to a malpositioned joining to form a circle which is equal in size to the large-area skin defect.Seven patients with cutaneous malignancy were managed by this operation regimen,including three cases of basal cell carcinoma,three cases of squamous cell carcinoma,and one case of malignant melanoma.Tumors were located in the face or head in five patients,and in feet in two patients.Results The width of donor incisions was significantly reduced by this strategy,and donor defects were sutured directly with the minimal loss of donor graft.Of the five patients with malignancies of the head or face,three achieved complete survival of skin grafts,two experienced mild erosion at the margin of skin grafts.A 10％-20％ necrosis of skin graft was observed in the sole of feet in 2 patients,which healed 1-2 months after dressing changes.Conclusion Joined grafts of equal size may be an effective approach to the repair of large skin defect.

Objective:To analyze clinical features of 78 infants with scabies and their causes of misdiagnosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on infants aged < 6 months with confirmed scabies at Department of Dermatology in Zhengzhou Children′s Hospital, Jingjiang People′s Hospital, Tangdu Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. Then, epidemiological features, skin lesion characteristics, treatment and causes of misdiagnosis of infantile scabies were analyzed.Results:A total of 78 infants with scabies were collected. Their age of onset and duration from onset to diagnosis [ M ( P25, P75) ] were 8.5 (7, 12) and 4 (3.5, 5) weeks respectively. At the time of diagnosis, 45 (57.7%) patients showed lower body weight than the first quartile [ P25] of body weight of age- and gender-matched healthy peers, 40 (47.4%) had fussiness and irritation, and 68 (87.2%) had sleep disorders like night crying and increased frequency of night waking. Infantile scabies more frequently occurred in autumn (30 cases [38.5%]) and winter (22 cases [28.2%]) , and least frequently occurred in summer (8 cases [10.3%]) . In the case of 58 patients, there was at least 1 member with scabies at the same time, who had resided with the patients in their families for a long time; in the case of 12 patients, scabies was transmitted through previous contact with temporary residents with scabies in their families. Scabies lesions most commonly occurred on the chest and abdominal regions (80.8%) , followed by the limbs (76.9%) ; skin lesions were polymorphic, and lesions at different stages could coexist; the rashes mainly manifested as edematous red or non-edematous brown papules, blisters, papulovesicles and nodules, and some burrows could be characterized by an oval, linear, serpiginous, comma- or J-shaped appearance. All the patients had visited the clinic for 1 - 4 times with an average of 2.38 visits. Forty-eight (61.5%) patients initially visited non-dermatology departments, and 30 (38.5%) initially visited dermatological outpatient clinics. Incorrect diagnoses included infantile eczema, papular urticaria, impetigo, miliaria, prurigo, urticaria pigmentosa, infantile acropustulosis, herpes simplex and varicella. All the patients received topical sulfur 5% ointment. Nine (11.5%) patients experienced a sudden exacerbation of skin lesions after the topical treatment, and 20 (25.6%) needed 2 - 3 sessions of treatment. No recurrence was observed in all the patients at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after the end of treatment. Conclusions:Infantile scabies lesions are polymorphic, widely distributed, and easily misdiagnosed. To prevent misdiagnosis and improve the early diagnosis rate, a detailed clinical interrogation with clinical-epidemiological examination should be performed.

Objective:To explore the effect of situational simulation interactive training on rehabilitation compliance and motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods:A total of 140 hemiplegic patients with stroke from July 2017 to October 2019 in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected and divided into control group and observation group, 70 cases in each group. Routine treatment and rehabilitation nursing were used in the control group, and situational simulation interactive training were used in the observation group on the basis of the control group. Both groups were followed up for 6 months. Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Brief (WHOQOL-BREF), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), self-made rehabilitation training compliance questionnaire and self-made nursing satisfaction questionnaire were used to evaluate the quality of life, motor ability, cognitive ability before intervention and after follow-up, rehabilitation compliance and nursing satisfaction after follow-up of the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in FMA, WHOQOL-BREF and MMSE scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After follow-up, the scores of FMA, WHOQOL-BREF and MMSE in the observation group were 62.57±6.52, 80.65±9.25, 25.30±3.24, significantly higher than 52.68±7.23, 66.68±8.34, 20.36±3.12 in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.499, 9.385,9.189, P<0.05). After follow-up, the total compliance rate and satisfaction rate of the observation group were 92.86% (65/70) and 94.29% (66/70), respectively, while those of the control group were 78.57% (55/70) and 80.00% (56/70), respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, P<0.05). Conclusions:The situation simulation rehabilitation training can effectively improve the motor function, rehabilitation compliance and nursing satisfaction of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

{L-End}Objective To analyze the effects of night shift work and overweight/obesity on blood pressure of workers in chemical fiber industry. {L-End}Methods A total of 1 004 workers of a chemical fiber factory were selected as the study subjects using convenient sampling method, and their blood pressure and body mass index were measured. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between night shift work and blood pressure, and multiple logistic regression was used to assess the independent impact and combined impact of night shifts and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension. {L-End}Results Compared with the non-night shift workers, the prevalence of hypertension in night shift workers was increased (5.3% vs 13.0%, P<0.05), with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure (both P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the night shift workers were higher than those of the non-night shift workers (both P<0.05), and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of overweight/obesity workers were higher than those of non-overweight/obesity workers (both P<0.01). The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of hypertension in night shift workers and overweight/obesity workers was higher than that in non-night shift workers and non-overweight/obesity workers [odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 2.49 (1.04-5.99) and 2.65 (1.77-3.95), both P<0.05]. Night shift work and overweight/obesity showed a synergistic effect on blood pressure of workers. Compared to non-overweight/obesity non-night shift workers, overweight/obesity night shift workers had a higher risk of hypertension (OR=4.93, 95%CI: 1.70-14.29, P<0.01). {L-End}Conclusion Night shift work could lead to elevated blood pressure in workers in the chemical fiber industry, which is a potential risk factor for hypertension. The synergistic effect of night shift work and overweight/obesity may contribute to the increased risk of hypertension.

Objective:To explore any effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and of different sequencing of rehabilitation training on upper limb dysfunction after a stroke.Methods:Thirty-six patients with upper limb motor dysfunction after subacute subcortical cerebral infarction were divided at random into a control group, an experimental group 1, and an experimental group 2, each of 12. The control group was given prosthetic stimulation and upper limb function rehabilitation training. Experimental group l received focal iTBS stimulation on M1 immediately followed by upper limb rehabilitation training. Experimental group 2 received the same treatment but in reverse order. The experiment lasted four weeks. Upper limb functioning and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) were quantified before and after the interventions using the Fugl-Meyer upper extremity assessment (FMA-UE) and the modified Barthel index (MBI). Cortical latency (CL) was also recorded.Results:Before the treatment there were no significant differences among the three groups, but afterward a significant increase was observed in the average FMA-UE and MBI scores of both experimental groups accompanied by a significant decrease in CL. There was no significant difference between the two experimental groups′ results, on average.Conclusion:Supplementing upper limb rehabilitation training with iTBS can significantly improve the upper limb functioning of ischemic stroke survivors, and the sequencing of the training has no effect on the therapeutic results.

Objective To investigate the computed tomography (CT) features of clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC).Methods The CT features of 6 patients with CCPRCC were analyzed retrospectively.The size,location,growth pattern,shape,texture,calcification,necrosis,hemorrhage,CT value,enhancement form and enhancement degree of the tumor and perirenal lymph nodes were observed.Results All 6 cases of CCPRCC were solitary lesions,of which 3 were located in the left kidney and 3 in the right kidney.Maximum tumor diameter ranged from 1.5 cm to 4.0 cm.The tumor margin was well-defined in 4 cases and ill-defined in two cases.All tumors showed expansive growth without invasion.There were three cases of endophytic growth and three cases of exophytic growth.Regarding tumor composition,only one case was cystic and the other five cases were solid.No calcification,necrosis and hemorrhage occurred in all the tumors.The CT value of tumors in unenhanced phase ranged from 31.2 HU to 42.5 HU.During the enhanced CT scan,5 cases showed highly enhancement and 1 case showed moderate enhancement.The CT value of tumors in corticomedullary phase ranged from 75.1 HU to 150.1 HU.In nephrographic phase,the enhancement degree in 1 case continued to increase,but it decreased in the other 5 cases.The CT value ranged from 73.3 HU to 102.2 HU.The enhancement degree in all 6 cases decreased in excretory phase and the CT value ranged from 52.6 HU to 79.1 HU.In the aspect of tumor enhancement form,only one case showed homogeneous enhancement and the other five cases showed heterogeneous enhancement.In addition,the peripheral renal lymph nodes were not enlarged in all patients,and no tumor invasion or tumor thrombus formation occurred in the renal vein.Conclusions CCPRCC has a relatively specific CT features that are easily distinguished from papillary renal cell carcinoma or chromophobe renal cell carcinoma,but it is difficult to identify from early-stage clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of Polymerized human cord hemoglobin (PolyCHb) on the sensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma grafts to lumvalatinib in nude mice. 【Methods】 Hep3B hepatoma cells were subcutaneously transplanted in 18 nude mice to establish tumor graft model. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (the saline 90 mg·kg^-1·d^-1), monotherapy group (Lenvatinib10 mg·kg^-1·d^-1), and sensitized group (Lenvatinib mg·kg^-1·d^-1, polyCHB 600 mg/kg twice a week) for 28 days. The tumor volume was measured regularly and the growth curve was drawn. On day 29, the nude mice were sacrificed, the tumor was stripped and weighed, and the pathomorphological differences of each group were evaluated by HE section staining. The expression levels of hypoxia-inducing factor (HIF-1α), CD34, VEGF, CD44, MMP-9, and Glut-1 in tumor tissues of each group were determined by immunohistochemistry. The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tumor tissues of each group was determined by dihydroethyl ingot method. 【Results】 The tumor growth rate and tumor volume in the sensitized group decreased significantly compared with the control group and the solo drug group. On day 29, the tumor volumes of the control group, the monotherapy group and the sensitization group were (2 076.46±350.25)mm^3, (1 035.96±84.16)mm³ and (892.66±104.46)mm^3, respectively. Tumor weight was (1.61±0.52)g, (0.45±0.10)g, and (0.34±0.13)g, respectively. Immunohistochemical score of HIF-1α was 75±23 vs 45±18 vs 18±11, VEGF was 52±8 vs 67±16 vs 35±4, CD34 was 40±7 vs 50±13 vs 28±7, CD44 was 37±15 vs 30±7 vs 15±3, Glut-1 was 74±41 vs 51±30 vs 14±18, MMP-9 was 51±7 vs 62±20 vs 33±3, respectively(P<0.05). The malignant degree of the sensitized group was decreased by HE section staining, which was significantly lower than that of the solo drug group and the control. The ROS content in the sensitized group was higher than that in the solo drug group and the control. 【Conclusion】 PolyCHb can reduce the expression of HIF-1α and its downstream pathway related molecules by increasing oxygenation of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues in nude mice, delay tumor growth and reduce tumor volume in a certain period, thus increase the therapeutic effect of lenvalatinib on hepatocellular carcinoma grafts in tumor bearing nude mice models.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of polymerized human cord hemoglobin (PolyCHb) on the chemosensitivity of human breast cancer MCF-7 cell subcutaneous xenografts in nude mice and its mechanism. 【Methods】 The MCF-7 cells in exponential growth phase were collected and made into suspension cells at a density of 5×10⁷ cells/mL.Subsequently, the cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the right limb of 18 BALB/c-nu nude mice with 0.2 mL cells per mouse to establish subcutaneous xenograft.When the tumor volume reached about 100 mm³, they were randomly divided into chemotherapy group: doxorubicin 5 mg·kg^-1, once/week; chemotherapy + PolyCHb group: in addition to doxorubicin (chemotherapy group), PolyCHb 600 mg·kg^-1, 3 times/week; the control group: normal saline 90 mg·kg^-1, once/week; all were injected through tail vein continuously for 4 weeks.From the day of injection (d 0), the tumor volume of each group of nude mice was measured every 3 days, and the tumor growth curves were drawn accordingly.After 38 days, the tumor growth observation was completed.The tumor was removed and weighed to calculate the tumor inhibition rate.HE staining, immunohistochemistry and TUNEL method were used to observe the pathological changes of tumor tissue, detect the expression of HIF-1α, and detect tumor cell apoptosis respectively.The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) of each group was determined by fluorescence staining. 【Results】 The tumor volume (mm³) of chemotherapy + PolyCHb group, chemotherapy group and the control group at day 38 were 196.35±103.45 vs 316.29±62.88 vs 519.42±177.33 (P<0.05), and the tumor inhibition rate (%) of chemotherapy + PolyCHb treatment group and chemotherapy group was 62.20 vs 39.11, respectively.HE staining and TUNEL detection showed that cell necrosis and apoptosis in the growth area of tumor tissue increased in chemotherapy + PolyCHb group.Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence staining showed that HIF-1α expression in chemotherapy + PolyCHb group decreased and reactive oxygen species (ROS) content increased. 【Conclusion】 PolyCHb increases the chemosensitivity of subcutaneous xenograft in nude mice with breast cancer, and its mechanism may be related to the increase of ROS in tumor tissue and the promotion of tumor cell apoptosis.
