Objective To investigate effects of pedicle processing methods on the survival and appearance of the pedicle flaps. Methods The study involved 17 patients with soft tissue defects of extremities treated with the “exclamation mark” shaped pedicle flaps from October 2009 to January 2011.The traditional pedicled rotation flaps was designed to be a tennis racket-like shape,then the rotational pedicle was designed to small round tension reduction flap and pedicled rotation flaps,which contributed to formation of the “exclamation mark” shaped pedicle flaps.The soft tissue defects was located at the upper extremity in three patients and at lower extremity in 14,with defect areas of 4.0 cm× 7.2 cm-5.8 cm × 14.0 cm.There used two superficial radial nerve vasotrophic flaps,one ulnar artery supra-carpal cutaneous flap,eight sural neurocutaneous vasotrophic flaps and six saphenous nerve vasotrophic flaps.Results All flaps survived at Ⅰ stage except that one flap had partial distal necrosis postoperatively,which was cured after dress change.The follow-up ranged from six months to one year,which showed unobvious swelling of the survived flaps and good appearance of the rotation point of the pedicle. Conclusion The “ex(c)lamation mark” shaped pedicle flaps can reduce entrapment of the distal pedicle,promote venous drainage,improve survival and modify the appearance of the flaps.

Objective:To understand the employment psychology of college students in traditional Chinese medicine universities through analyzing relevant influencing factors, and to provide solutions to improve employment quality of the medical students.Methods:An online questionnaire survey on employment psychology and employment situation was conducted from August to September in 2017 among 384 students who had graduated from Longhua Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2013 to 2017. SPSS 19.0 was used for chi-square test and linear trend test on the survey results.Results:A total of 374 valid questionnaires were recovered, with the effective recovery rate of 97.4%. The results showed that the most important factors to be considered were professional counterparts (77.01%, 288 students), salary (75.67%, 283 students) and development prospect (69.52%, 260 students) and the most important psychological characteristics were hesitation and contradiction (50.8%, 190 students) and anxiety (25.13%, 94 students). The study found that employment psychology was related to students' family situation, category, temperament and performance during their education period.Conclusion:Students have different employment psychology, which can be improved by consummating career planning, broadening employment channels, combing employment policies, supplementing professional shortcomings, and improving comprehensive skills. Meanwhile, colleges and universities can expand their practice bases, provide employment counseling, and improve education resources, speed up the construction of the second classroom, pay attention to special groups to conduct employment guidance and improve the quality of employment.

Objective To measure the number of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, CD5+B lymphocytes and level of IL-10 in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and analyze their effects in the disease. Methods In this study, 84 cases of patients with SLE were randomly selected and evaluated according to the activity index (SLEDAI). These cases were divided into low activity group (SLEDAI<9) and high activity group (SLEDAI≥9). Ten healthy individuals were selected as the control group at the same time. The number of peripheral blood lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, CD5 + B lymphocytes, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C3, C4 and interleukin (IL)-10 levels in serum were measured respectively and the correlation between the above indexes and SLEDAI and complement levels were analyzed. Pair-wise comparison of means of groups was conducted with one-way ANOVA. Comparison between the two groups was conducted by LSD-t test. Correlations between variables were carried out using Spearman's rank correlation test. Results The total number of lymphocytes in SLE group was lower than that in normal control group ( F=7.216, P<0.001); The number of CD19+ B lymphocytes in SLE group was higher than that in normal control group (F=3.589, P=0.036). The number of CD5+B lymphocytes of peripheral blood [(2.5±0.6)%] in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was significantly lower than that in the normal control group [(3.2 ±0.8)%], but the difference was not statistically significant (t=3.412, P=0.698). The number of CD5+B lymphocytes in the high activity group was significantly lower than that in the low activity group (t=7.365, P=0.027)and the normal control group (t=5.649, P=0.002). The number of CD5+ B lymphocytes was negatively correlated with SLEDAI score (r=-0.692, P=0.001) and positively associated with the level of complement 3 (r=0.305, P=0.038), but not with complement 4 and ESR (P>0.05). In addition, the level of serum IL-10 in whether the low activity group (t=1.935, P=0.031) or the high activity group (t=3.048, P=0.012) was all higher than the normal control group. The level of serum IL-10 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was positively associated with SLEDAI score (r=0.425, P=0.024) and ESR (r=0.479, P=0.008), but was negatively correlated with complement 4 (r=-0.359, P=0.031). Conclusion The total number of lymphocytes in patients with SLE decreases significantly, while B lymphocytes increases significantly. The number of CD5+ B lymphocytes and the serum IL-10 level are also changed. It maybe related to the patient's inflammatory environment, and the number of CD5+B lymphocytes and the serum IL-10 level may be associated with disease activity.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and side effects of multi-fraction stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the treatment of brain metastases from colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of 98 patients with brain metastases from colorectal cancer searched from the database of Professional Committee of Brain Metastasis of Shanghai Anticancer Association were recruited in this study. Among them, 46 patients weretreated with SRT and 52 patients with SRS. Clinical characteristics of all patients were analyzed between two groups and the local tumor control rate, median survival time and the incidence of radiation-induced brain injury were compared between two groups.Results:The objective remission rates (ORR) in the SRT and SRS groups were 76.1% and 67.3%, respectively. The 12-month local tumor control rates were 88.3% and 83.9% between two groups, with no statistical difference ( P=0.689). The median overall survival time of all patients was 11.6 months, 10.8 months in the SRT group and 12.7 months in the SRS group. There was no statistical difference between two groups ( P=0.129). Multivariate analysis showed that the main factors leading to poor prognosis included the number of tumors of >3( P=0.026), low GPA score ( P=0.035), and lack of systematic treatment mode and bevacizumab ( P=0.001). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of acute and late radiation-induced brain injury between two groups. Conclusions:Both SRT and SRS are effective therapies for brain metastases from colorectal cancer. The synergistic application of systematic treatment mode may be one of the main reasons affecting the survival time of the patients.

Objective:To automatically synthesize Al 18F-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-04, perform PET/CT imaging in vivo, and evaluate its diagnostic efficacy on tumors. Methods:Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was produced in All-in-one automatic synthesis module and its quality control was conducted by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a radioactive detector. Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging was performed in normal BALB/c mice ( n=3) and 4T1 breast cancer models ( n=3) to determine its biodistribution. Then Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging were performed in a hepatocellular carcinoma patient (male, 51 years old). Results:The synthesis time of Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was about 35 min, and the radiochemical yield was (25.2±1.9)% (attenuation correction, n=3). The product was colorless transparent solution with pH value of 7.0-7.5, and the specific activity was (46.11±3.07) GBq/μmol (attenuation correction, n=3). The radiochemical purity was above 99.0% and was still above 98.0% at room temperature after 6 h. PET/CT imaging in mice showed that physiological uptake of Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was mainly in biliary system and bladder, and Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 highly concentrated in tumor xenografts. PET/CT imaging in the patient showed that Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 obtained high tumor background ratio (TBR) values of 4.1, 8.9, 5.4, 4.8, 2.2 in parasternal lymph nodes, anterior diaphragmatic lymph nodes, hilar lymph nodes, pancreaticoduodenal ligament lymph nodes, abdominal aortic lymph nodes, respectively, while TBR values were 1.0, 2.8, 5.0, 2.1, 1.1 by 18F-FDG. Conclusions:Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 can be synthesized with short time, high radiochemical yield and good stability using All-in-one module. Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging has high contrast and excellent diagnostic efficacy on tumors.
