Objective To explore the application value of surgical operation combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for rectal carcinoma in phase Ⅱ and Ⅲ and to evaluate the effect of surgical resection. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed from January 2012 to January 2017, including 70 cases of middle and lower rectal carcinoma in phase ⅡandⅢin the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University.Neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy before operation was applied.Neoadjuvant radiotherapy: total dose 50 Gy, 2.0 Gy for once, 5 times per week, 5 weeks in total, the radiation field 5 wild for pelvic irradiation. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: XELOX (oxaliplatin, capecitabine) / FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil) was used for synchronous chemotherapy. After radiotherapy, the patients received surgery in 6-8 weeks. All the operations were performed according to the total mesorectum excision (TME) specification.Results A total of 70 patients underwent neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy.The adverse effect rate was 15.71 % (11/70) of gradeⅠand 7.14 % (5/70) of gradeⅡ. No gradeⅢandⅣadverse reactions occurred. The tumor stage of 94.29 % (66/70) patients reduced. The TNM stage of the postoperation was decreased compared with that before neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (χ 2= 7.846, P < 0.05). Tumor resection rate was 94.29 % (66/70). Conclusion Surgical operation combined with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy before operation for middle and lower rectal carcinoma in phase ⅡandⅢhas a favorable efficacy and safety,which can alleviate the tumor staging and increase the eradication rate of tumors.

The emission of hydrogen sulfide in the waste gas from slaughter plant, fishmeal feed processing and some other food industrial processing could cause serious air pollution to the surrounding environment. The purpose of this study was to screen heterotrophic bacterium strains for the removal of hydrogen sulfide odor. One heterotrophic bacterial mutant ZJNB-B3 was derived from the sulfide degrader Bacillus cereus XJ-2 and its sulfide removal efficiency was 97%. Based on the morphology studies, biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene analysis, the strain was identified as Bacillus cereus ZJNB-B3. The NCBI GenBank accession number is MF679650. Batch tests showed that the strain tolerated up to 300 mg/L of toxic S²⁻ concentration. Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the conditions of degradation of sulfide. The optimal parameters were as follows: initial sulfide concentration 211.8 mg/L, initial pH 6.72, inoculum volume 5.04%, and incubation temperature 30 ℃. The accumulated sulfate concentration was 63.8 mg/L and the sulfide removal efficiency was 97.3% after 48 h incubation. No sulfuric acid was generated during sulfide oxidation by the strain. Sulfide could be removed effectively by this strain under mild pH conditions. The results suggested that the strain may have great industrial application potential. This study provides the fundamentals for the removal of hydrogen sulfide gas.
