Objective:To explore the application of endoscopic narrow-band imaging(NBI) in the early diagnosis of throat malignant tumors.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2019, 512 patients with suspected benign or malignant diseases of the throat in the First People's Hospital of Wenling were selected, and all patients were performed white light endoscopy and NBI endoscopy.The biopsies were taken for pathological examination.The histopathological results were seemed as gold standard for diagnosis.Results:NBI endoscopy was superior to white light endoscope in terms of microvascular morphology and lesion outline(χ 2=457.497, 293.209, all P<0.05). The diagnostic coincidence rate, sensitivity and negative coincidence rate of NBI endoscope for malignant tumors were higher than those of white light endoscope(χ 2=10.131, 6.197, 4.084, all P<0.05). The sensitivity of NBI endoscope type Ⅰ-Ⅱ in the diagnosis of benign lesions was 90.65%, and the specificity was 96.88%.The sensitivity and specificity of NBI endoscope type Ⅲ-Ⅳ in the diagnosis of mild-moderate dysplasia were 80.99% and 97.52%, respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of NBI endoscopy type Va in the diagnosis of severe atypical hyperplasia were 15.18% and 98.54%, respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of NBI endoscope Va-c in the diagnosis of invasive cancer were 93.24% and 96.93%, respectively. Conclusion:Compared with white light endoscope, NBI endoscope can more clearly show the outline of lesions and submucosal blood vessels, and can more accurately diagnose malignant tumors in the throat, especially can more recognized the pre-cancerous lesions and early malignant tumors.It has important clinical application value in early diagnosis of malignant tumor in the throat.

Objective: To explore the relationship between parent child relationship and rebelliousness of junior middle school students in boarding schools and to provide a scientific basis for preventing the occurrence of youth rebellion. Methods: A cluster sampling method was used to investigate parent child separation, family intimacy, and rebellion among 1 790 junior high school students in one boarding middle school in Lujiang County, Hefei City, Anhui Province in January 2020, and the influence of parent child relationship on students rebelliousness was analyzed by Chi square test and binary Logistic regression. Results: The detection rate of rebelliousness among participants was 21.45%(384/ 1 790 ). Junior middle school students who were in senior grade (second and third grades), reported higher household economic status and no communication with parents during the past month were more likely to have rebelliousness( OR=1.83, 1.89, 1.80, 1.77 , P <0.05); Junior middle school students with higher parental warmth and intimacy were less likely to have rebelliousness( OR=0.52, 0.71, P <0.05); Gender, length of boarding, maternal education, frequency of meeting parents during boarding, and childhood experience of separation with parents showed no statistical significance on rebelliousness( P >0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of rebellious psychology among junior high school students in boarding schools is high, and good parent child relationship is the protective factor of rebellious psychology. Parents should pay attention to contact with their boarding children and strengthen communication to reduce rebelliousness among them.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Qigui Tangtongning Granules in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) with qi deficiency and blood stasis.Methods:Prospective cohort study. A total of 80 DPN patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis in Endocrinology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from May 2021 to May 2022 who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups by random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with epalrestat on the basis of routine hypoglycemia, and the treatment group was treated with Qigui Tangtongning Granules on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment. Disease severity was assessed using the Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS). The motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) of median nerve and common peroneal nerve were detected by electromyography/induced potentiometer. Serum CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA, fasting blood glucose (FPG) and two hours post-meal blood glucose (2 hPG) were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was detected by automatic HBA1C analyzer. Adverse reactions were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 95.0% (38/40) in the treatment group and 77.5% (31/40) in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=5.17, P=0.023). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score and TCSS score of the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=-3.19 and -7.63, P<0.01); Median nerve SNCV [(47.90±4.51) m/s vs. (44.76±3.72) m/s, t=3.40], MNCV [(53.79±3.65) m/s vs. (51.32±4.25) m/s, t=2.79] and common peroneal nerve SNCV [(44.21±2.08) m/s vs. (40.51±2.49) m/s, t=7.23], MNCV [(44.63±4.72) m/s vs. (41.36±4.87) m/s, t=3.05] were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01); FPG [(5.05±0.63) mmol/L vs. (7.05±1.23) mmol/L, t=-9.17], 2 hPG [(9.10±1.64) mmol/L vs. (12.19±2.61) mmol/L, t=-6.35], HbA1c [(6.79±0.90) % vs. (7.22±1.02) %, t=-2.02] were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05); TNF-α [(15.75±5.44) ng/L vs. (32.01±5.33) ng/L, t=-13.51], hs-CRP [(2.58±0.80) mg/L vs. (3.79±1.04) mg/L, t=-5.83], IL-6 [(18.20±4.92) ng/L vs. (29.97±5.18) ng/L, t=-10.41] were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in 2 groups during treatment. Conclusion:Qigui Tangtongning Granules combined with conventional Western medicine can improve nerve conduction velocity, reduce inflammation and improve clinical efficacy in DPN patients with Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome.

Objective:To investigate clinicopathological features of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) and hypopigmented interface T-cell dyscrasia (HITCD) .Methods:A total of 41 patients with cutaneous hypopigmented lymphoproliferative diseases, who had complete clinicopathological data, were collected from Department of Dermatology, the Third People′s Hospital of Hangzhou from January 2015 to September 2020, and the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic features were analyzed. Comparisons of normally distributed measurement data were carried out using t test, comparisons of categorical data using Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test, and comparisons of ranked data between 2 groups using rank-sum test. Results:All of the 41 patients clinically presented with irregular hypopigmentation, some of which was accompanied by erythema or furfuraceous scales. In terms of pathological features, 21 patients showed infiltration and aggregation of atypical lymphoid cells in the epidermis, which was consistent with typical pathological features of mycosis fungoides, and they were diagnosed with HMF; 20 patients showed vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer, accompanied by infiltration of lymphoid cells and mild epidermotropism, and they were diagnosed with HITCD. All immune cells expressed T-cell phenotype, and epidermal lymphocytes expressed a CD8-dominated phenotype in 14 (67%) cases of HMF and 13 (65%) of HITCD. In the epidermis, the total number of lymphocytes was significantly higher in the HMF group than in the HITCD group ( t= 1.81, P= 0.012) ; in the dermis, the number of CD4 + lymphocytes and CD8 + lymphocytes, and the total number of lymphocytes were all significantly higher in the HMF group than in the HITCD group ( t= 2.64, 1.51, 2.60, P= 0.012, 0.002, 0.001, respectively) . All patients were treated with narrow-band ultraviolet B radiation. Among 34 patients who completed the follow-up, 30 achieved complete clearance of skin lesions without recurrence, including all patients with HITCD, and 4 with HMF achieved partial regression of the lesions. Conclusions:Compared with HMF, HITCD presents different pathological characteristics and benign biological behaviors. Thus, HITCD should be distinguished from HMF as an independent disease. Phototherapy alone is effective for the treatment of HITCD.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most lethal malignancies. Although gemcitabine (GEM) is a standard treatment for PAAD, resistance limits its application and therapy. Secoemestrin C (Sec C) is a natural compound from the endophytic fungus Emericella, and its anticancer activity has not been investigated since it was isolated. Our research is the first to indicate that Sec C is a broad-spectrum anticancer agent and could exhibit potently similar anticancer activity both in GEM-resistant and GEM-sensitive PAAD cells. Interestingly, Sec C exerted a rapid growth-inhibiting effect (80% death at 6 h), which might be beneficial for patients who need rapid tumor shrinkage before surgery. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) reverse assays show that Sec C sulfates cysteines to disrupt disulfide-bonds formation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins to cause protein misfolding, leading to ER stress and disorder of lipid biosynthesis. Microarray data and subsequent assays show that ER stress-mediated ER-associated degradation (ERAD) ubiquitinates and downregulates YAP to enhance ER stress via destruction complex (YAP-Axin-GSK-βTrCP), which also elucidates a unique degrading style for YAP. Potent anticancer activity in GEM-resistant cells and low toxicity make Sec C a promising anti-PAAD candidate.
