ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of left ventricular myocardial function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with angina pectoris of single-vessel and.multiple-vessel coronary artery disease with two-dimensional strain (2DS).MethodsTotally 63 patients with angina pectoris were divided to single-vessel coronary artery group (n=33) and multiple-vessel coronary artery group (n= 30) based on coronary angiography,and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group.The two-dimensional images were obtained before and 3 months after PCI,and two-dimensional radial strain was analyzed on GE Echo PAC system.Peak radial strain values of left ventricular basal plane,papillary muscle plane and apical plane during systole were measured.ResultsCompared to control group,left ventricular peak systolic radial strain values decreased in many segments in patients with single-vessel coronary artery group and multiple-vessel coronary artery group before and 3 months after PCI (P＜0.05).Totally 136 and 158 left ventricular ischemic segments attained to normal 3 months after PCI in single-vessel coronary artery group (136/185,73.51％) and multiplevessel coronary artery group (158/292,54.11％),respectively (P＜0.01).ConclusionThe improvements of peak systolic radial strain are significantly different between angina pectoris patients with single-vessel and multiple-vessels coronary artery disease after PCI.

Objective: To evaluate different patterns for left ventricular configuration on ventricular systolic function in patients with primary hypertension by two-dimensional strain (2DS) echocardiography. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: Control group,n=40 healthy volunteers, Primary hypertension group,n=70, based on left ventricular mass index, the patients were further divided into 2 subgroups as Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) subgroup, n=32 and Non-left ventricular hypertrophy (NLVH) subgroup,n=38. The peaks of systolic longitude strain (SSL) for left ventricular apical layers of subendocardium, midmyocardium and epicardium were compared among different groups. Results:①In Control group and LVH, NLVH subgroups, SSL in different myocardium layers were kept in gradient features as subendocardium > midmyocardium > epicardium.②Compared with Control group, NLVH and LVH subgroups showed decreased SSL of subendocardium, as in apical four chamber level: (-24.11 ± 3.52) % and (-22.78 ± 4.11) % vs (-27.49 ± 2.95) %, in apical two chamber level: (-22.79 ± 5.20) % and (-21.92 ± 4.88) % vs (-27.95 ± 3.13) %, and in apical long-axis level: (-20.07 ± 3.43)%and (-21.34 ± 3.64%)% vs (-27.24 ± 3.05) %, allP<0.05; while SSL in midmyocardium and epicardium were similar,P>0.05.③Compared with NLVH subgroup, LVH subgroup presented decreased SSL of long-axis, in midmyocardium (-17.77 ± 4.35) % vs (-21.73 ± 3.97) % and in epicardium (-14.25 ± 3.78) % vs (-18.27 ± 2.96) %, allP<0.05. The pearson correlation coefifcient calculated by 2 physicians at 2 different times showed that SSL of subendocardium wasr=0.876, of midmyocardium was r=0.838 and of epicardium was r=0.823, allP<0.05. Conclusion: 2DS may quantitatively evaluate the layered myocardial strain of left ventricle, it provided a non-invasive examination for early diagnosing and estimating the heart involvement with severity in patients of primary hypertension.

Objective To investigate the effects of pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture on pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 76 patients who underwent curative pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 2002 to October 2014 in Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Of all the patients,43 received pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture (study group),and the other 33 patients received BPJ anastomosis (control group).All the patients used Child reconstruction,the diagnosis of pancreatic fistula was made according to ISGPF criteria.The operation time of pancreaticoenterostomy,the incidence of hemorrhage of anastomosis and the incidence of pancreatic fistula were retrospectively analyzed.Results The age,sex,hemoglobin,albumin,total bilirubin,the incidence of co-morbidity of diabetes,extent of surgical resection between 2 groups were comparable without significant difference.In study group,the time of pancreaticoenterostomy was 11 min(8 ～ 15 min),there were 4 patients with class Ⅰ pancreatic fistula,and 1 patient with class Ⅱ pancreatic fistula.No patient developed class Ⅲ pancreatic fistula or anastomotic bleeding.In control group,the time of pancreaticoenterostomy was 16 min(12 ～25 min) which was only available for 5 patients,and no records for other patients.There were 6 patients with pancreatic fistula including 4 patients with class Ⅱ,2 patients with class Ⅲ,while no records for class Ⅰ.Four patients were found to have anastomotic bleeding.Conclusions With the pancreaticoenterostomy by separating and continuous suture method,the surgical field is fully exposed,the suture time is shortened and the incidence of anastomotic bleeding and pancreatic fistula is reduced.

Objective:To investigate the effects of preoperative endoscopic mucosal injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer and intraoperative serosa injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer on the acquisition of lymph nodes in total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 118 patients with gastric cancer who underwent total gastrectomy in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University between May 2017 and April 2018 were collected. There were 79 males and 39 females, aged from 26 to 81 years, with an average age of 59 years. Of 118 patients, 56 patients undergoing preoperative endoscopic mucosal injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer were divided into observation group and 62 patients undergoing intraoperative serosa injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer were divided into control group. Observation indicators: the total number of lymph node dissected, the number of positive lymph node dissected, the number of lymph node dissected at the first station and the number of lymph node dissected at the second station. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent-sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Results:The total number of lymph node dissected, the number of positive lymph node dissected, the number of lymph node dissected at the first station, the number of lymph node dissected at the second station of the observation group were 48±16, 3(range, 0-25), 26±9, 23±7, respectively. The above indicators of the control group were 41±13, 4(range, 0-28), 25±8, 16±5, respectively. There were significant differences in the total number of lymph node dissected and the number of lymph node dissected at the second station between the two groups ( t=2.494, 6.588, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the number of positive lymph node dissected and the number of lymph node dissected at the first station between the two groups ( Z=0.747, t=1.689, P>0.05). Conclusions:Carbon nanoparticle labeled lymph node staining using preoperative endoscopic mucosal injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer or intraoperative serosa injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer is safe and effective in total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Compared with intraoperative serosa injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer, preoperative endoscopic mucosal injection of carbon nanoparticle tracer can increase the total number of lymph node dissected, especially the number of lymph node dissected at the second station of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the association of the DYS527a/b and DYF387S1a/b multi-allele pattern with Y-SNP haplogroups.Methods Samples from 295 unrelated males who carrying the DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern were amplified by the YFilerPlus? kit.The genotypes of their frequency distributions,including three multi-copy loci(DYS527a/b,DYF387S1a/b,DYS385a/b)and other single-copy loci were obtained.The DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern and their haplotypes were examined for the associations with Y-chromosome haplogroups using the AIYSNP42 kit,which contains 42 Y-SNP loci.Based on the above results,the association between the DYS527a/b multi-allele patter and its constituent Y-STR haplotypes and related haplogroups was discussed.Results Among the 295 samples,the DYS527a/b tri-allele pattern and tetra-allele pattern accounted for 97.29%and 2.71%respectively,while the DYF387S1a/b tri-allele pattern and tetra-allele encompassed 54.24%and 4.75%.Null allele was detected in DYS448 in 13.22%of the samples.Here,7 Y-SNPs were deticted such as O-M175 and C-M131 which encompassed 45.76%and 45.08%.The haplogroups of R1-M173,N-M231,D1-M174,J-M304 and F-M89 were less than 13 cases,with frequencies ranging from 4.41%～0.34%.There were Y-STR genotypes differences among haplogroups,as haplogroup O-M175 was represented by 4 genotypes of Y-STR profiles characterized by DYS385a/b(12/12,as well as 12/17,12/18,12/19),DYS392(13),DYS593(16)and DYS393(12),and haplogroup C-M130 was characterized by DYS527a/b(19/20/21),DYS385a/b(11),DYS593(17),DYS390(23),Y_GATA_H4(11),and DYS444(13)and so on.Conclusion The DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern is frequently observed in the Kunming population with haplogroup C-M130.In the samples from haplogroups O,C,R1 and N,the DYS527a/b and DYF387S1a/b haplotypes frequently exhibit the multi-allele pattern.Given the frequencies of different haplogroups and the association between Y-SNP haplogroups and Y-STR loci,it could be helpful to look for more details in the paternal lineage search.

Objective To investigate the association between microvariants at locus DYS570 and Y-SNPs haplogroup.Methods 89 Y-SNPs and 34 Y-STRs in AIYSNP42,AIYSNP47 and YfilerTM Platinum kits were used to detect the genotype of 116 microvariants at locus DYS570 in Kunming,and the Set-B kit was used to detect the core repeat sequences of the DYS570 locus.The data were statistically analyzed by direct counting method.Then,a network map was drawn by Network 10.2,in order to visualize the genetic information of the sample.Results The results demonstrated that 111 DYS570/18.3-21.3 samples had a core repeat sequence of TTT[TITC]18-21,belonging to subgroup O2a2b1a1a1a4-F14494.A DYS570/20.3 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]15TTC[TTTC]5,belonging to O2a1b1a1a1a1e-F1365 subgroup.A DYS570/17.1 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]17 T,belonging to the O2a1b1a1a1a-F11 subgroup.Three DYS570(19.2)samples had[TTTC]3 TT[TTTC]16,belonging to the D1a1a-M15 haplogroup.Conclusion The results indicated that the microvariant with the same core repeat structure at locus DYS570 was associated with haplogroups,and the ancestry origin of samples can be inferenced from microvariant characteristics during the practice of forensic medicine.

Objective:Based on the AAPM TG-263, a Content-Based Standardizing Nomenclatures (CBSN) was proposed to explore the feasibility of its standardization verification for organs at risk (OAR) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods:The radiotherapy structure files of 855 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) from 2017 to 2019(15 of whom showed clinical anomalous structures) were retrospectively collected and processed. The Matlab self-developed software was used to obtain the image position, geometric features, first-order gray histogram, and the Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix′s texture features of the OAR contour outlined by the doctor to establish the CBSN Location Verification model and CBSN Knowledge Library. Fisher discriminant analysis was employed to establish a CBSN OAR classification model, which was evaluated using self-validation, cross-validation, and external validation, respectively.Results:99%(69/70) of the simulated anomalous structures were outside the 90% reference range of the CBSN Knowledge Library and the characteristic parameters significantly differed among different OARs (all P<0.001). The accuracy rates of self-validation, cross-validation and external verification of the CBSN OAR classification model were 92.1%, 92.0% and 91.8%, respectively. Fourteen cases of clinical abnormal structures were successfully detected by CBSN with an accuracy rate of 93%(14/15). In the simulation test, the accuracy of the left and right location verification reached 100%, such as detecting the right eye lens named Len_L. Conclusion:CBSN can be used for OAR verification of NPC, providing reference for multi-center cooperation and standardized radiotherapy of NPC patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL).

METHODSThe clinical data of 82 patients with PMLBCL enrolled from January 2000 to January 2008 were retrospectively studied. All these patients were treated in four affiliated hospitals of Central South University,Hunan province. The prognostic factors were investigated.

RESULTSOf the 82 patients, 45 were men and 37 were women, the ratio was 1.22:1. The median age was 29.5 (ranged from 12 to 78) years old. There were 40 (48.78%) patients in stage I/II, 42 (51.22%) in stage III/IV. The complete response (CR) rate was 13.4% (11/82), and the overall response rate 76.83% (63/82). The 5-year overall survival was 58%. The univariate analysis indicated that the poor prognostic factors included stage III/IV(P=0.005), without rituximab (P=0.004), without radiotherapy (P=0.000), LDH ≥ ULN (upper limit of normal) (P=0.000), disease progression (P=0.000), international prognostic index (IPI)≥ 2 (P=0.000) and superior vena cava syndrome (P=0.015). Chemo-therapy alone (P=0.000) predicted poor outcome. Combination therapy (such as chemo-radiotherapy, chemotherapy combined with rituximab) had better prognosis. Compared to second-line treatment, rituximab as the first-line treatment can prolong PFS, but had no effect on the OS. In multivariate analysis, chemo-radiotherapy and IPI were independently related to prognosis.

CONCLUSIONPMLBCL mostly affects young adults, male patients were slightly more than female patients. It presents with a typical bulky mediastinal mass at diagnosis, which constricts surrounding organs. Patients treated with rituximab or radiation therapy had better prognosis. Rituximab is recommended to be used for the first-line treatment.
