Objective To investigate the CT manifestations of gastric carcinoma invasion to lesser omentum and to assess the im-pact of lesser omentum on the spreading of gastric carcinoma.Methods We retrospectively reviewed CT findings in 48 patients with gastric carcinoma and lesser omentum involved for primary tumor and the lesser omentum abnormalities.The influence of lesser o-mentum on the extension of gastric carcinoma as well as the accompanied ascites were also analyzed.Results CT manifestations of lesser omentum involvement in gastric carcinoma included the following items:① direct infiltration (35.4%,1 7/48),which was mainly shown as increased density of fatty tissue and the development of mass within the lesser omentum,including spreading into the liver through the lesser omentum directly in two cases;② omental seeding (25.0%,12/48),including smudged appearance (1 1 cases)and omental caking (1 case);③ metastasis of lymph nodes (64.6%,31/48),including enlargement and increase of lymph nodes (27 cases)and cystic mass (4 cases).Ascites was found in 1 1 patients and fluid collection in the lesser sac was shown in 3 of these 1 1 patients.The lesser omentum forms the anterior wall of the lesser sac and separates the fluid collection in the lesser sac from the ascites in the greater peritoneal cavity.Ascites was associated with the omental seeding statistically.Conclusion CT scan is helpful for detecting lesser omentum invasion by gastric carcinoma.The imaging features consist of mass sign,enlargement of lymph nodes,smudged andcakingappearance,and so on.Lesser omentum may also play a certain role in both the extension of gastric carcinoma and the compartmentalization of ascites due to gastric carcinoma.

Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion 2023;36(9):827-830
【Objective】 To evaluate the effectiveness of random quality control sampling in blood sample detetion by ELISA. 【Methods】 Blood samples of 5 mL specification of blood donors from our blood station from May to July 2022 were selected for routine operation on a fully automated sampler. J standard substances(3 mL specification) as daily samples were added to A1 well, H12 well and random wells of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, and -TP, and then placed in a fully automated enzyme immunoassay analyzer for testing. With random well quality control as the internal quality control judgment standard, 20 consecutive tests were conducted and were divided into A1 (well) group, H12 (well) group and random (well) group according to different well positions. Quality control maps were drawn using Levey-Jennings quality control chart with random group as the framework, and were compared with the quality control map of A1 well and H12 well results in the same day. 【Results】 The mean quality control levels of infectious indicators of blood transfusion in blood donors by ELISA were: HBsAg 3.87±0.28, anti-HCV 3.79±0.38, anti-HIV 3.64±0.30 and anti-TP 4.53±0.51. 【Comparison】 of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP, between random group, A1 group and H12 group were HBsAg 3.87± 0.28 vs 4.09±0.30 vs 3.64±0.26, anti-HCV 3.78±0.37 vs 3.96±0.38 vs 3.63±0.38, anti-HIV 3.63±0.31 vs 3.82±0.32 vs 3.48±0.28 and anti-TP 4.51±0.51 vs 4.71±0.52 vs 4.36±0.51, The S/CO value of each indicator were H12 group

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the methodology and efficacy of endoscopic sphenopalatine artery diathermy in management of refractory epistaxis.
METHOD:
Twenty patients with severe intractable posterior epistaxis, who had underwent various procedures like nasal packing, electro- or chemical cautery or others and still exacerbated, were subjected to this study. Under general anesthesia, according to the endoscopic anatomy of the sphenopalatine foramen, the sphenopalatine artery was identified under the posterior tip of the middle turbinate. After the pedicle of the artery was delineated, a bipolar cauterized the artery and transected it.
RESULT:
Twenty patients have been followed up for 5 to 20 months with an average of 10 months. No patients suffered recurrent epistaxis during the period. Only 1 patients in this series reported minor nasal adhesion.
CONCLUSION
Diathermy of sphenopalatine artery, as a purely endonasal procedure, is an effective and microinvasive means of achieving long-term control of refractory epistaxis. It has few complications associated with other forms of arterial ligation.

Endophytic fungi strains (n = 81) were isolated from the leaves, barks, and fruits of Camellia oleifera from Hunan province (China) to delineate their species composition and potential as biological control agents of C. oleifera anthracnose. The fungi were identified by morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Fungal colonization rates of the leaves, barks, and fruits were 58.02, 27.16, and 14.81%, respectively. The isolates were identified as 14 genera, belonging to two subdivisions, Deuteromycotina and Ascomycotina; 87.65% of all isolates belonged to Deuteromycotina. The dominant species, occurring with a high relative frequency, were Pestalotiopsis sp. (14.81%), Penicillium sp. (14.81%), and Fusarium sp. (12.35%). The Simpson’s and Shannon’s diversity indices revealed the highest species diversity in the leaves, followed by the barks and fruits. The similarity index for the leaves versus barks comparison was the highest, indicating that the number of endophytic fungal species shared by the leaves and barks was higher than barks and fruits or leaves and fruits. Based on the results of dual culture experiments, only five strains exhibited antifungal activity against C. oleifera anthracnose pathogen, with isolate ty-64 (Oidium sp.) generating the broadest inhibition zones. Our results indicate that the endophytes associated with C. oleifera could be employed as natural agents controlling C. oleifera anthracnose.

AIM: To observe the effects of single-dose of fentanyl on sedation and agitation during recovery after pediatric adenotonsillectomy day surgery during anesthesia induction. METHODS: A total of 157 children undergoing elective adenotonsillectomy, with ASA physical status I or II, aged 3-10 years were selected during January and March in 2022 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The children were divided into two groups according to random number table method: remifentanil combined with fentanyl group (group RF, n = 78) and remifentanil group (group R, n = 79). Children in group RF received a single-dose injection of 1 μg/kg of fentanyl and 2.5 μg/kg of remifentanil during induction, children in group R received an equal volume of normal saline and 2.5 μg/kg of remifentanil injection. Children in both groups were intubated after propofol induction and anesthetized with combination of sevoflurane-remifentanil. The incidence and severity of emergence agitation (EA), Ramsay sedation score and FLACC pain score in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), extubation time, recovery time, PACU stay time, discharge time were recorded. RESULTS: Compared with group R, the incidence of EA was significantly lower (38.0% vs. 18.0%, P = 0.005), the maximum PAED score during recovery was significantly lower (7.7 ±3.3 vs. 8.9 ± 3.4, P = 0.027), and the Ramsay sedation score was significantly higher at 15 min after admission of PACU (4.4 ± 1.1 vs. 3.8 ± 1.4, P = 0.01), as well as discharge of PACU (2.0 ± 0.3 vs. 1.8 ±0.4, P = 0.03) in RF group . There was no significant difference in extubation time, recovery time, PACU stay time, discharge time, pain score (discharge of PACU and 2 h after operation) between two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: A single-dose injection of fentanyl (1 μg/kg) during anesthesia induction can increase the degree of sedation and reduce the incidence of EA in PACU after pediatric daytime adenotonsillectomy.
