Objective To explore clinical curative effect of microsurgery of petroclival tumors by transpetrosal presigmoid approach. Methods A series of 23 patients of petroclival tumors resected by microneurosurgery were analyzed retrospectively, including tumors histological types, clinical and preoperative MRI features, operative approaches, surgical technique and common postoperative complications. Results Total resection of the tumor was achieved microsurgically in 16 cases, subtotal resection in 4 cases, partial resection in 3 cases. No patient died in this series. 8 patients presented worsening crainal nerves palsies postoperatively. CSF leaks were uncommon, occuring in 2 patients. Conclusion The tumors in petroclival region can be totally resected by transpetrosal presigmoid approach. The advantages were offered by this approach such as the temporal lobes and cerebellum are minimally retracted; the operative distance of petroclival tumors is shortened with exposure of clivus and juxta-clival region.

Objective To investigate the effects of sensory cueing (SC) on unilateral spatial neglect after stroke.Methods Five stroke survivors with unilateral spatial neglect underwent a tailored sensory cueing treatment (wearing a sensory cueing device 3 hours a day, 5 days a week for 2 weeks) in addition to their conventional rehabilitation.Two weeks before and one day before the treatment, and then one day, two weeks and 4 weeks after the treatment, all five patients were assessed using the Hong Kong edition of the behavioral inattention test (BIT-C).Results No significant changes were identified in the average BIT-C ratings at the two time point before the intervention.However, the average score had increased significantly only one day after the start of the intervention, with further significant improvement at each of the succeeding 2 week intervals.The greatest improvement was in finishing cancellation tasks, and the most severely affected patient showed the greatest improvement.Conclusion Sensory cueing treatment may be useful and feasible in reducing unilateral spatial neglect for stroke survivors.However, randomized and controlled trials with larger samples are needed to further verify its effects.

Objective] To clarify the taxonomic status of Anopheles lesteri and An.anthropophagus in China. [Methods] Using molecular identification (PCR assay and rDNA\|ITS2 sequencing) to examine the field anopheline mosquito specimens from Liaoning and Shandong. According to the ITS2 sequences, molecular phylogenetic tree was made. [Results] According to the molecular identification, An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus were distributed both in Liaoning Province and Shandong Province. The length and GC content of rDNA\|ITS2 sequence were 451 bp, 46 2% in An.lesteri (n=6), and 448 bp, 46 0% in An.anthropophagus (n=10), respectively. The ITS2 sequences from presentation sites were same in An.lesteri, while the intraspecies difference in An.anthropophagus was 0 88%. The specific difference between An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus was 25 7%. By analyzing molecular phylogenetic tree, the relationship between An.lesteri and An.sinensis, An.anthropophagus and An.liangshanensis was found to be closer. [Conclusion] According to the molecular identification, it was defined that An.lesteri and An.anthropophagus were sympatric independent species in China.

Objective To investigate the correlation between expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid and prognosis of operation in patients with gastric cancer.Methods The expression levels of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of 68 patients with gastric cancer and 30 patients with gastric benign tumor were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.The correlation between the expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid and clinicopathological features,prognosis of postoperative were analyzed.Results The expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of patients with gastric cancre was 1.74 ± 0.25 and with gastric benign tumor was 0.19 ± 0.04,and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid had a correlation with the tumor infiltration depth,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and TNM stage (P ＜ 0.05).There was statistical difference in the recurrent / metastasis rate and survival rate 1 year after operation between low (34 cases) and higher (34 cases) expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of gastric cancer patients:47.06％ (16/34) vs.82.35％ (28/34) and 79.41％ (27/34) vs.55.88％ (19/34),P ＜ 0.05.Conclusion The expression of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid has close correlation with the clinicopathologic features,and the high expression of CEA mRNA indicats poor prognosis,indicating that CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid could be used as a prognostic marker in patients with gastric cancer.

AIM:To investigate the perfusion parameters using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging ( DCE-MRI) in rectal cancer patients so as to explore its potential value in estimating the microvascular condition including perfusion and permeability .METHODS:The data of 38 rectal cancer patients examined with DCE-MRI was ret-rospectively analyzed .The perfusion parameters of carcinoma and normal rectal wall in each case were calculated , inclu-ding volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant of back flux (Kep), extravascular extracellular space fractional volume (Ve) and initial area under curve (iAUC).The mean values of tumor and normal rectal wall , mucinous and nonmucinous carcinoma, poorly and moderately-to-well differentiated carcinoma , case with or without lymph node metastasis were com-pared.RESULTS:All the parameters of rectal cancer were higher than normal rectal wall (P<0.01).No significant difference was found between poorly and moderately-to-well differentiated carcinoma in terms of K trans, Kep and Ve, neither was the case with or without lymph node metastasis .The cases with lymph node metastasis had lower iAUC than those with-out (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Quantitative perfusion DCE-MRI answered the microvascular perfusion and permeability change of rectal cancer compared with normal rectal wall , besides it could be used to distinguish between mucinous and nonmucinous carcinoma , which demonstrated its value in the evaluation of rectal cancer .However , it should not be recom-mended to predict the degrees of tumor cell differentiation and lymph node metastasis just according to the perfusion param -eters.

The zymograms of EST in six species of anopheline mosquitoes (Female) were studied with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.The zymograms of EST were divided into three groups,EST Ⅰ, EST Ⅱ and EST Ⅲ, respectively.The Rm of subgenus Anopheles (including An sinensis,An.anthropophagus and An.kunmigensis) was larger than that of subgenus Cellia (including An.dirus, An.mmmus and An.kochi) in main bands of EST Ⅲ. The results showed specific characteristics at the taxonomic level of subgenus. The six species of anopheline mosquitoes could be differentiated from each other by the particular band pattern and Rm in EST n groups.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD)among children in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts.Methods:A stratified cluster sampling method was adopted, and selected all children from 12 kindergartens in 6 urban districts of Xi′an.Primary screening positive children with ASD were identified by filling out the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) by their parents and the guardians reports, and then the beha-vioral observations were made to identify suspicious ASD children.Finally these children were diagnosed in the hospital through the autism diagnostic observation schedule, 2 nd edition (ADOS-2). The data were calculated with SPSS 18.0. Results:Totally, 38 cases with ASD were diagnosed among 5 178 children, the prevalence of children ASD in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts was 7.3‰, and the 95% confidence interval was 4.98‰-9.62‰.The prevalence of ASD in children was statistically significant in different age groups ( χ2=9.914, P<0.05) and gender groups ( χ2=18.812, P<0.05). The accuracy of ASD screening by guardians reports is better than that by ABC. Conclusions:(1)The prevalence of ASD children in kindergartens in Xi′an urban districts is at high level in similar reports in China.If ASD children at the special education institutions and home are considered, the overall prevalence rate is higher, indicating that the prevalence of ASD children in China may be underestimated.(2)With the increase of age, the attendance rate of ASD children in kindergartens has a decreasing trend.

Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis.Methods:From July 2019 to August 2021, 7 patients with erythrodermic psoriasis, who received subcutaneous injection of secukinumab at a dose of 300 mg once a week from week 0 to 4 followed by every-4-week dosing in Wuhan Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, were collected. At weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12, the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) was recorded, and adverse drug reactions were observed.Results:All 7 patients were treated for at least 12 weeks. After 4-week treatment, 4 patients achieved PASI50; after 12-week treatment, 5 achieved PASI75, and 2 achieved PASI90. No serious adverse drug reactions occurred. One patient developed fever during the treatment, but the body temperature returned to normal after management; another 1 developed cough and expectoration, and the symptoms were relieved after oral administration of a Chinese herbal preparation named pharyngitis mixture.Conclusion:Secukinumab is effective in the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis, with fewer adverse reactions, which provides a new option for the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the measures and effects of comprehensive noise control in an automobile engine manufacturing enterprise. Methods An automobile engine manufacturing enterprise with noise exposure work-sites was selected as the research subject. The noise hazard status of the enterprise was investigated. The noise hazard exceeded the national standard in work-sites was comprehensively treated. The treatment effect was analyzed. Results A total of 395 work-sites exposed to noise were detected. Among them, 16 work-sites exceeded the national noise standard, with the rate of 4.1%. The work-sites with noise exceeding the national standard were mainly in the machine workshop and the casting workshop, with normalization of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level to a nominal eight hours working day (L_EX,8h) ranging from 86.8 to 89.2 and 85.2 to 90.2 dB(A), respectively. In addition, the classification of occupational noise exposure of the mold protection group in the casting workshop was level Ⅱ, and classification of occupational noise exposure of other work-sites with excessive national standard was grade Ⅰ. After the enterprise implemented noise control measures such as process reform, equipment replacement, sound insulation, noise reduction, sound absorption, and vibration isolation, the L_EX,8h of nine positions were lower than those before rectification ［(86.7±1.1) vs (83.3±1.3) dB(A), P<0.01］. Conclusion The use of comprehensive control measures can achieve the purpose of reducing noise from the sources, and can be used for reference by relevant enterprises with noise hazards.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors for depression in primary school children aged 9-10 years in Jiangsu Province, and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods:A retrospective study.A total of 1 162 primary school children aged 9-10 years from 3 primary schools in 3 regions of Jiangsu Province were recruited.Their demographic data were collected, and they were surveyed by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the Family Environment Scale (FES). Children were divided into control group (1 059 cases) and depression group (103 cases) based on the depression scores obtained from the DASS-21 scale.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for depression in primary school students aged 9-10 and construct a risk prediction model. Results:There were significant differences in the economic development region, physical activities, academic performance, student cadres, parents′ education level, frequency of parental quarrels, SDQ and FES dimension scores between control group and depression group (all P<0.05). Among them, economic development areas (Northern Jiangsu and Southern Jiangsu), student cadres, father′s education level (elementary school and below) and intimacy of the FES scale were protective factors for depression in elementary school children; while emotional symptoms, peer problems and the total difficulty score in the SDQ scale, and the conflict in the FES scale were the risk factors for depression in elementary school children.The prediction model was created based on the influencing factors: Logit ( P)=-1.390×economic development area (Northern Jiangsu) -1.508×economic development area (Southern Jiangsu) -1.248×student cadres -2.206×father′s education level (primary school and below) -1.145×father′s education level (junior high school)+ 3.316×emotional symptoms in the SDQ+ 0.979×peer problems in the SDQ+ 2.520×total difficulty score in the SDQ -1.697×cohesion in the FES + 0.760×conflict in the FES -0.678.The area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic was 0.931, with the sensitivity and specificity of 85.42% and 91.83%, respectively. Conclusions:The regional level of economic development, class or school cadres, father′s education level, peer problems, total difficulty score, cohesion and conflict in the family are influencing factors for depression among primary school children aged 9-10 years in Jiangsu Province.The created prediction model can effectively assess the depressive risk factors in this population, which is conductive to achieve the early recognition and intervention of depression in them.
