Objective To analyze the imaging features of ground-glass opacity (GGO) and provide advice for early diagnosis and treatment of malignant lung lesions.Methods The imaging findings of 56 GGOs scanned by MSCT on thin layer scanning were analyzed by χ2 test.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed of the statistically significant variables for univariate analysis.Results Smoothness of the boundary, uniformity of the internal density, and spiculated margin of the GGO lesions were closely related to the diagnosis of malignant lesions.However,size,shape and distribution of the lesions were limited.Conclusion The distribution of GGO(internal, middle and outer band), border, internal density and spiculation are playing important role in early diagnosis of benign and malignant GGO.

Objective To observe the prevention effect of glutathione on acute radiation enteritis in pelvic radiation therapy.Methods All 80 pelvic tumor patients treated with radiotherapy were randomly assigned to the control group (40 patients)and the treatment group (40 patients)by the number table method.40 cases in the con-trol group treated with radiation were not treated with preventive drugs,but the patients in the treatment group were treated with glutathione.The occurrence time of acute radiation enteritis and the severity of acute radiation enteritis after treatment were evaluated.Results 15.0% of the treatment group suffered from acute radiation enteritis in the second week and 72.5% in the third week.however,62.5% of the control group were suffered from acute radiation enteritis in the second week and 27.5% in the third week.The difference was statistically significant (χ2 =18.775, 15.998,all P <0.001).Glutathione delayed the occurrence time of acute radiation enteritis.The grade 1 and grade 2 acute radiation enteritis effective rate in the treatment group were 77.5% and 17.5%,and that in the control group were 20.0% and 72.5%,the difference between the two groups was significant(χ2 =26.136,24.139,all P <0.001).The glutathione could reduce the incidence of acute radiation enteritis extent.Conclusion Glutathione could delay the occurrence time of acute radiation enteritis and reduce the incidence of acute radiation enteritis extent.It is worth clinical application.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of nosocomial infections in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy .Methods Clinical data of 189 patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy in Huzhou Central Hospital during August 2011 and December 2014 were retrospectively studied .Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the risk factors of nosocomial infections in patients during radiotherapy .Results Among 189 patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy , nosocomial infection was observed in 64 (33.86%) patients.Univariate analysis showed that radiation-induced oral mucositis (χ2 =11.47, P<0.01), underlying disease (χ2 =6.59, P<0.05), stage of tumor Ⅲ-Ⅳ (χ2 =4.36, P<0.05), whole-neck radiation (χ2 =7.64, P <0.05), dose of radiation ≥50 Gy(χ2 =8.92, P <0.05), combined chemotherapy (χ2 =6.53, P<0.01), invasive operation (χ2 =4.21, P<0.05), PS score=1 (χ2 =3.58, P<0.05) and low body mass index (χ2 =9.56, P <0.05) were risk factors of nosocomial infections . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that radiation-induced oral mucositis ( OR=3.46, χ2 =8.72, P<0.01),underlying disease (OR=1.91, χ2 =4.66, P<0.05), stage of tumor Ⅲ-Ⅳ (OR=2.01,χ2 =5.22, P<0.05), whole-neck radiation (OR=1.78,χ2 =4.89, P<0.05), dose of radiation ≥50 Gy (OR=1.69,χ2 =3.25, P<0.05), combined chemotherapy (OR=1.84, χ2 =6.91, P<0.05) and low body mass index (OR=1.53, χ2 =2.59, P<0.05) were independent risk factors of nosocomial infection.Conclusions Nosocomial infections are popular in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy.Radiation-induced oral mucositis, underlying disease, stage of tumor, radiation field, dose of radiation, combined chemotherapy and body mass index are associated with the occurrence of nosocomial infections in these patients .

Solar energy, which is essential for the origin and evolution of all life forms on Earth, can be objectively recorded through attributes such as climatic ambient temperature (CAT), ultraviolet radiation (UVR), and sunlight duration (SD). These attributes have specific geographical variations and may cause different adaptation traits. However, the adaptation profile of each attribute and the selective role of solar energy as a whole during human evolution remain elusive. Here, we performed a genome-wide adaptation study with respect to CAT, UVR, and SD using the Human Genome Diversity Project-Centre Etude Polymorphism Humain (HGDP-CEPH) panel data. We singled out CAT as the most important driving force with the highest number of adaptive loci (6 SNPs at the genome-wide 1 × 10-7 level;401 at the suggestive 1 × 10-5 level). Five of the six genome-wide significant adaptation SNPs were successfully replicated in an independent Chinese population (N = 1395). The corresponding 316 CAT adaptation genes were mostly involved in development and immunity. In addition, 265 (84%) genes were related to at least one genome-wide associationstudy (GWAS)-mapped human trait, being significantly enriched in anthropometric loci such as those associated with body mass index (x2;P<0.005), immunity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer (x2;P<0.05). For these adaptive SNPs, balancing selection was evident in Euro-Asians, whereas obvious positive and/or purifying selection was observed in Africans. Taken together, our study indicates that CAT is the most important attribute of solar energy that has driven genetic adaptation in development and immunity among global human populations. It also supports the non-neutral hypothesis for the origin of disease-predisposition alleles in common diseases.
