Objective:To explore the infuence of calf spleen extractive injection combined with chemotherapy on immune function of the patients after colorectal carcinoma. Methods:Totally 128 cases of postoperative colorectal carcinoma patients were randomly di-vided into two groups with 64 ones in each. The control group only received FOLFOX 4 regimen, while the study group received calf spleen extractive injection additionally from the first day to the tenth day, 10ml, ivd, and 14-day was one cycle. After 4 weeks, im-mune function, peripheral blood leukocytes ( WBC) , hemoglobin ( Hb) and platelet ( Plt) in the two groups were compared, and the adverse reactions were evaluated as well. Results: After the treatment, CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 + and CD4/CD8 were increased in the study groups, and those in the study group were much higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, there were no significant changes in WBC, Plt and Hb in the two groups (P>0. 05), while WBC and Plt in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Calf spleen extractive injection combined with chemotherapy not only can increase the immune func-tion, but also alleviate myelosuppression and gastrointestinal toxicity in the treatment of postoperative colorectal carcinoma patients.

The main factors which affect the farmers'participation in the new rural cooperative medical service are the problems,which exist in the system of the rural cooperative medical service,the institutions of medical service,the government and the farmers themselves etc.Only by constituting the corresponsive policy measures according to these factors can the farmers actively participate in the new rural cooperative medical service.

Recently,much interest has been focused on the clinical application and biology of tumor-derived DNA in the plasma/serum of cancer patients.Such interest has resulted in the demonstration of human papillomavirus(HPV) DNA in the plasma/serum of patients with cervical cancer(CC).The studies used different materials(plasma /serum),different DNA extraction methods and different primers to detect circulating free HPV DNA,so the positive rates varied from(6.9%) to 50%.The HPV DNA in the plasma/serum of patients suffering from CC most likely originates from the tumor itself,which will probably provide us with a new tool for CC monitoring after primary treatment,especially in patients in advanced stages.It is expected that this promising molecular tumor marker would soon be put into routine clinical use.

Objective:To distinguish lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-based radiomic features. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 182 patients (109 males, 73 females, age (59.0±8.3) years) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan between January 2018 and December 2019 in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. All patients had been diagnosed pathologically with lung ADC or SCC. The patients were divided into a training set ( n=91) and a validation set ( n=91) using simple random sampling method. Radiomic features were extracted from the PET images of segmented tumors using the Python package. The minimum redundancy maximum relevance feature selection algorithm and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were employed to select informative and non-redundant features, and a radiomics signature score (rad-score) was developed. Differences of rad-score between groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to select the important factors. A combined model was constructed based on the clinical variable and radiomics signature. The predictive performance of models was analyzed and compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Delong test. Results:Four radiomic features, namely HHL_first order_maximum, LHL_first order_entropy, HHH_ gray level dependence matrix_large dependence high gray level emphasis (GLDM_LDHGLE), HHL_GLDM_LDHGLE (H/L represent the high/low pass filter) were selected to build the rad-score. The rad-score showed a significant ability to discriminate between different histological subtypes in the two sets(training set: -1.30(-1.70, -1.04) vs -0.60 (-1.11, 0.20), z=-4.61, P<0.001); validation set: -1.31(-1.66, -0.96) vs -0.73(-1.02, -0.24), z=-4.76, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the rad-score were equal to 0.815 (95% CI: 0.723-0.906) in the training set, and 0.813 (95% CI: 0.726-0.901) in the validation set, respectively, which were larger than those of the clinical variables (smoking had the best prediction performance, training set: 0.721 (95% CI: 0.617-0.810), validation set: 0.726 (95% CI: 0.623-0.814)), however, the difference was not significant ( z values: 1.319, 1.324, both P>0.05). When the clinical variable (smoking) and radiomics signature were combined, the complex model showed a better performance in the classification of histological subtypes, with the AUC increased to 0.862 (95% CI: 0.785-0.940; sensitivity: 88.00%(22/25), specificity: 72.73%(48/66)) in the training set and 0.854 (95% CI: 0.776-0.933; sensitivity: 75.00%(21/28), specificity: 84.13%(53/63)) in the validation set. The AUC values were significantly higher than those of the clinical variable (smoking; training set: z=3.257, P<0.001; validation set: z=3.872, P<0.001). Conclusion:Individualized diagnosis model incorporating with smoking and radiomics signature can help differentiate lung cancer subtypes in a non-invasive, repeatable modality.

Objective　To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of rare type of hepatic benign tumor and tumor-like lesions.Methods　The clinical data of 58 cases of uncommon benign hepatic tumor and tumor-like lesions admitted to Changhai Hospital from January 1980 to June 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. Results　Of the 58 cases, 26 were inflammatory pseudotumors, 8 focal hyperplastic lesions, 7 hepatocellular adenomas, 7 lipomatous tumors, 5 cystadenomas, 3 tuberculosis, 1 harmatoma and 1 neurofibroma. 82.8% of the cases had symptoms, 17.2% without obvious symptoms. Single lesion was found in 93.1%, multiple lesions in 6.9%. Operative procedures as follows: 30 local resections of the lesion, 14 hepatic segmentectomies, 9 hepatic lobectomies, 2 hepatic artery ligations, 1 hepatic artery ligation plus drainage of cyst, 2 liver biopsies. No operative mortality and no serious morbidity were noted. Conclusions　With popularization of advanced imaging techniques, the incidences of the benign tumor and tumor-like lesions of the liver have been increased in recent years. However, current imaging studies lack specificity, and differential dignosis of these lesions remains difficult. So we should be familiar with the clinical behavior, presentation of imagings and management of the diseases mentioned above.

Background and purpose:For the past few years, HPV DNA has been detected in the peripheral blood in the patients with cervical cancer and believed to be a promising tumor marker, but because the concentration in the patients' serum was extremely low, it made it difficult to detect the circulating HPV DNA. In order to find a way to improve the sensitivity of the assay, this study compared and evaluated three methods that are currently being used to measure HPV DNA in the extraction from serum of cervical cancer patients. Methods:51 patients were pathologically proved to be cervical cancer and enrolled into the study. DNA from their sera was extracted by three methods:(1) Phenol-chloroform extraction, (2) UNIQ-10 collumn virus DNA kit(SANGON,Shanghai), (3) QIAamp MinElute Virus spin kit(QIAGEN,Germany). Then the HPV DNA was quantitated by PCR using GP5+/GP6+ primers.Results:Either fresh or short-term storage sera has been used The positive rates were 14.3%, 5.7%, and 57.1% with three assays, respectively. But when long-term storage samples were used to quantitate, the positive rates were low regardless of the methods being used.Conclusions:QIAamp MinElute Virus spin kit was the most sensitive for the content of serum HPV DNA, it could improve the positive rate for the assay if the serum was not stored for long time.

20 mm),these three imaging techniques(HAP-MDCT,Lipiodol CT and DSA)had the same sensitivity,for 10~20 mm hepatic nodules,the detecting rate was no significant difference among them,while,for

0.05).In LADA patients,multipe linear regression analysis showed that the risk factors related to the intima media thickness of common carotid artery were age,smoking and LDL-C and the risk factors related to the intima medial thickness of femoral artery were age,sex and LDL-C.Conclusion The prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis between LADA and type 2 diabetes is similar.LDL-C,age,sex and smoking may be the risk factors of subclinical AS in LADA patients.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a nested polymersase chain reaction (nested PCR) for detection of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 in paraffin embedded tissues. Methods 31 samples from tuberculosis patients and 5 biopsy specimens from patients with hepatitis were subjected to detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 by nested PCR. PCR products of two randomly selected samples were cloned and sequenced. Results Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 was positive in 28 of 31 samples of tuberculosis. The sensitivity and specificity of nested PCR for detection of IS6110 were 90.3% and 100%, respectively. The predictive value of nested PCR was 100%. The sequences of two samples were compared with known sequence of H37Rv isolate (reported by Thierry D) and with nucleotide homology of 97% and 95.3%, respectively. Conclusions Nested PCR is sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in tissues of routinely paraffin embedded. We propose the diagnostic application of nested PCR for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, especially in the cases which can not be distinguished with certainty from other diseases by histopathology and Ziehl Neelsen's staining.

Objective To explore the effects of music intervention on growth and development of premature infants. Methods 112 premature infants were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 56 cases in each. The control group received conventional nursing measures, and the observation group was simultaneously given music intervention besides the conventional routine nursing measures. Weight increase, hospitalization time, milk-intake volume and feeding tolerance were compared between the two groups. Results The weight increase in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. Hospitalization time and rate of feeding intolerance for the observation group was lower compared with that of the control group. The premature infants in the observation group took in more milk than those in the control group. Conclusions Music intervention can elevate feeding tolerance, facilitate nutrition and increase weight of premature infant, so it is beneficial to the growth and development of premature infant.
