Objective:To investigate relationships between nasal parasitism by Demodex mites and nasal skin microbiome in patients with rosacea. Methods:From May 2017 to June 2019, 14 patients with rosacea, including 8 with early-stage rosacea and 6 with intermediate-stage rosacea, and 14 human controls with healthy facial skin were collected from Department of Dermatology, Shunde District Center for Prevention and Cure of Chronic Disease of Foshan City. Microbial samples were collected from the nasal alar and nasolabial folds of the subjects. Then, DNA was extracted from the samples, and subjected to metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Relative abundance of strains was estimated by using composition ratios of Demodex mites and microbial reads. Shannon index was calculated to evaluate α diversity of microbiome, and principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to assess β diversity based on relative abundance of microbial species. Enumeration data were compared by using two-independent-sample t test, and relationships between nasal Demodex mites and skin microbiome were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The relative abundance of nasal Demodex mites was significantly higher in the rosacea group (1.647% ± 0.389%) than in the healthy group (0.448% ± 0.089%, t = 2.92, P = 0.007) . The relative abundance of Demodex mites was negatively correlated with the relative abundance of bacteria ( r = -0.95, P < 0.001) , and positively correlated with the relative abundance of fungi ( r = 0.76, P < 0.001) . The Shannon indices of nasal bacterial and fungal communities were significantly higher in the rosacea group (0.91 ± 0.17, 1.261 ± 0.045, respectively) than in the healthy group (0.47 ± 0.12, 0.549 ± 0.071, t = 2.17, 8.48, respectively, both P < 0.05) ; PCA showed that the β diversity of bacterial communities significantly differed between the rosacea group and healthy group ( t = 2.32, P = 0.029) , while no significant difference in the β diversity of fungal communities was observed between the two groups ( t = 0.82, P = 0.461) . In addition, the relative abundance of Demodex mites was significantly higher in the patients with intermediate-stage rosacea than in those with early-stage rosacea ( t = 6.56, P < 0.001) ; there was no significant difference in the Shannon indices of nasal bacterial or fungal communities between the two patient groups (both P > 0.05) ; PCA showed that the β diversities of bacterial and fungal communities significantly differed between the two patient groups (both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:Parasitism of Demodex mites on the nasal skin may affect nasal microbial community structure.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the diagnostic value of optical imaging combined with indocyanine green (ICG)-guided sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in gastric cancer, and to identify potential factors that would influence diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Study was carried out by searching the electronic database of PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library with keywords as "gastric/stomach" and "cancer/carcinoma/tumor/tumour/adenocarcinoma/neoplasm" and "sentinel lymph node" and "near-infrared/NIR or fluorescent imaging" and "indocyanine green/ICG" . Literature inclusion criteria: (1) gastric cancer clinical stage was cT0-3; (2) clinical stage determined by at least 2 kinds of imaging modalities; (3) optical imaging (near-infrared or fluorescence imaging) combined with ICG-guided SLN biopsy; (4) prospective study to predict lymph node metastasis; (5) intraoperative or postoperative pathology for all lymph nodes removed; (6) patients number in the literature >10 cases. Exclusion criteria: (1) patients with a history of ICG allergy or chemoradiotherapy; (2) previous history of endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection; (3) patients with a variety of gastrointestinal tumor; (4) case reports, conference abstracts, clinical guidelines, editorials, reviews, meta-analysis and correspondence letters; (5) in vitro or animal experiments; (6) insufficient diagnostic efficacy data. The meta-analysis was performed in the Stata12.0 software using the "bivariate mixed-effects model" combined with the "midas" command to pool the data. Information such as true positive value, false positive value, false negative value, and true negative value of each included articles were extracted. The literature quality assessment map was drawn to describe the overall quality of the articles; the heterogeneity analysis was performed with the forest map, with P<0.01 considered as statistical significance; the funnel plot was used to describe publication bias, with P<0.1 considered as statistically significant. Area under curve (AUC) of summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) was used to describe the diagnostic accuracy and the AUC closer to 1 indicated higher diagnostic accuracy. If there was heterogeneity (I²>50%) among studies, regression analysis and subgroup analysis were performed. P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: A total of 15 studies (1020 patients) were included. The optical imaging contained near-infrared (NIR) and fluorescent imaging (FI). The diagnostic value of optical imaging combined with ICG-guided SLN biopsy in gastric cancer was as follows: the pooled sensitivity (Sen) was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.82 to 0.99), specificity (Spe) was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.92 to 1.00), positive likelihood ratio (PLR) was 30.39 (95% CI: 9.14 to 101.06), negative likelihood ratio (NLR) was 0.05 (95% CI:0.01 to 0.20), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 225.54 (95% CI: 88.81 to 572.77), AUC was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99 to 1.00), threshold value was sensitivity=0.95 (95% CI: 0.82 to 0.99) and specificity=1.00 (95% CI: 0.92 to 1.00). Deeks method revealed DOR funnel plot of SLN biopsy was not asymmetrical obviously with significant difference (P=0.01), which indicated remarkable publishing bias. Meta-subgroup analysis showed that compared to FI, NIR imaging had higher sensitivity (0.98 vs. 0.73); compared to 0 minutes, optical imaging performed 20 minutes after ICG injection had higher sensitivity (0.98 vs. 0.70); compared to mean detected number of SLN of 4, mean detected number≥4 had higher sensitivity (0.96 vs. 0.68); compared to HE stain, immunohistochemistry + HE had higher sensitivity (0.99 vs. 0.84); compared to subserous injection of ICG, submucosa injection of ICG had higher sensitivity (0.98 vs. 0.40); compared to injection of 5 g/L ICG, 0.5 g/L and 0.05 g/L had higher sensitivity (0.98 vs. 0.83); compared to cT2-3 tumor, early stage (cT1) tumor had higher sensitivity (0.96 vs. 0.72); compared to ≤ enrolled 26 cases in the study, > 26 cases had higher sensitivity (0.96 vs. 0.65); compared to papers before 2010, papers after 2010 had higher sensitivity (0.97 vs. 0.81); whose differences were all significant. Sensitivity differences between mean tumor diameter of ≤30 cm and >30 cm, open surgery and laparoscopic surgery, lymph node regional dissection and retrieved dissection were not significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions Optical imaging combined with ICG-guided SLN biopsy is clinically feasible, and especially suitable for early gastric cancer. However, the ICG being used in current studies may be overdosed. Higher sensitivity may be achieved from NIR imaging when compared with FI method.

ObjectiveTo establish a theoretical system of pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic dose-time characterization of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）. By analyzing the pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic behaviors of Lonicerae Flos， Houttuyniae Herba injection， Lonicerae Japonicae Flosand Buyang Huanwutang， this paper compared the similarities and differences of the three methods for characterizing the dose-time relationship， namely half-life， statistical moment and statistics， in order to find the most suitable method for characterizing the relationship. MethodTen mice were randomly selected from 100 Kunming mice as the blank group， and the remaining mice were coated with xylene in the auricle to establish the acute inflammation model of ear swelling. After successful modeling， the mice were gavaged with aqueous extract of Lonicerae Flos（30 g∙kg^-1）， and the blank group was gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline. The plasma of mice was collected at different time points to determine the content changes of components. At the same time， the pharmacokinetic results of Houttuyniae Herba injection， Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Buyang Huanwutang were included， and the pharmacokinetic and spectrokinetic parameters were calculated. Then the difference in the time of calculating 95% total component content of metabolism by half-life method， statistical moment method and statistical method was compared. ResultOn the basis of the half-life method， the mathematical expressions of statistical moment method and statistical method suitable for the characterization of dose-time relationship of multi-component system of TCM were established. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters of the individual components in Lonicerae Flos varied， with cryptochlorogenic acid and rutin showing a two-compartment model and the other components showing a one-compartment model. After calculation of spectrokinetic similarity， the metabolic patterns among the components contained in Houttuyniae Herba injection， Lonicerae Japonicae Flos， Lonicerae Flos and Buyang Huanwutang were different and varied greatly in vivo. The time to metabolize 95% of the total components of the four research subjects in vivo was calculated by the half-life method， statistical moment method and statistical method， and it was found that the difference between statistical moment method and half-life method was large， and the difference between statistical moment method and statistical method was small. ConclusionStatistical method not only reflects the characteristics of statistical moment method， characterizes the dispersion degree of each component， but also can be associated with fingerprint to form spectrokinetics， characterizing the dose-time relationship of 95% of drug components， which is a more desirable method to characterize the dose-time relationship of the component groups in TCM.
