Our country has made great achievements in organ transplantation,but there still exist many problems such as shortage of organs,seriously hindering the development of organ transplantation.Family factor,one of the influencing factors of organ transplantation in our country,has the characteristics of persistence and permanency.Researches on family factors will be helpful for the healthy development of organ transplantation.Started from family factors,this paper discussed the ethical issues of organ transplantation in our country and proposed appropriate measures such as changing moral cognition,advocating family support,strengthening community family intervention,correctly dealing with family ethics relationship,in order to provide a useful reference for the development of organ transplantation in China.

Objective: To study the different ischemic characteristics of cerebral gray matter and deep white matter in patients with chronic cerebral artery severe stenosis or occlusion. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 30 patients with chronic unilateral cerebral artery severe stenosis or occlusion from April 2014 to April 2018 in our hospital. Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), time of peak time (TTP) and time to delay(TTD) of cerebral cortex gray matter and deep white matter in the blood supply area of the responsible artery (the affected side) and the contralateral hemisphere (the healthy side) were measured. Statistical analysis of the perfusion parameters of cerebral cortex gray matter and deep white matter in the affected side and contralateral side were performed using SPSS13.0 software package. T test was used for variance homogeneity, and t′ test was used for variance discrepancy, and P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results: The average values of CBF and CBV of the ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral cortex were increased than those of ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral deep white matter respectively(P<0.01). MTT, TTP and TTD of the ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral cortex were decreased than that of ipsilateral and contralateral cerebral deep white matter (P<0.01); CBF of ipsilateral cerebral cortex and CBV of ipsilateral cerebral deep white matter were not different from those of the contralateral cerebral cortex and deep white matter respectively, but CBF of ipsilateral cerebral deep white matter is decreased than that of the contralateral deep white matter (P<0.01). CBV of ipsilateral cerebral cortex is increased than that of the contralateral cerebral cortex (P<0.01). MTT, TTP and TTD of ipsilateral cerebral cortex and deep white matter were increased than those of contralateral cerebral cortex and deep white matter respectively(P<0.01). Conclusion Deep cerebral white matter perfusion decreased more significantly than cortical gray matter in the supply region of chronic cerebral artery severe stenosis or occlusion. CT perfusion imaging can quantify the degree of chronic cerebral ischemia and can provide quantitative diagnostic information for clinical treatment and efficacy evaluation.

Objective:Analyze the efficacy and safety of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) in the treatment of gastroptosis.Methods:From August 1, 2016 to August 1, 2020, at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, the baseline data of 14 patients with gastroptosis who underwent G-POEM were retrospectively collected, including age, weight, length of hospital stay, and modified gastroparesis cardinal symptom index(mGCSI). Regular follow-ups were made, and relevant data were recorded for comparative analysis. The main observation indicators were body weight and mGCSI. Friedman rank sum test and Bonferroni correction test were used for statistical analysis.Results:The age of 14 patients with gastroptosis was 50.0 years old(24.5 years old), the operations were successfully completed in all patients without any serious surgical complications, the time of hospital stay was 10.5 d (5.0 d), and all the postoperative follow-up time was >12 months. There were statistically significant differences in mGCSI and body weight between before operation and at 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month, and 12th month after operation (1.94(1.19), 0.78(0.47), 0.36(0.19), 0.17(0.45), 0.13(0.57) and 0.29(0.50), 43.5 kg(5.8 kg), 43.5 kg(5.8 kg), 42.5 kg(7.1 kg), 43.5 kg(6.9 kg), 45.0 kg(8.0 kg) and 45.5 kg(7.5 kg); Z=42.78 and 34.28, both P<0.001). After Bonferroni correction in the pairwise comparison, there were statistically significant differences in the mGCSI of the 14 patients between before operation and at 1st month, 3rd month, 6th month, and 12th month after operation ( Z=4.09, 5.05, 5.00 and 4.14, P=0.001, <0.001, <0.001 and =0.001). The weight of 14 patients at 12th month after operation were compared with the weight before operation, 1st week after operation, and 1st month after operation, and the differences were statistically significant (all Z=-3.64, all P=0.004). Conclusion:G-POEM has a good therapeutic effect on patients with gastroptosis and is expected to become a new treatment for gastroptosis.

Objective:To seek specific response points on the body surface of patients with primary dysmenorrhea(PD)by observing blood perfusion unit(PU)at different points of the three Yin meridians of foot using laser speckle contrast imaging(LSCI). Methods:Eighty PD patients were recruited as a PD group,and 80 healthy female undergraduates were taken as a normal group.During one menstrual cycle(before menstruation,during menstruation,and 3 d after menstruation),each participant was examined using the LSCI system to determine PU at bilateral Taixi(KI3),Taibai(SP3),Taichong(LR3),Shuiquan(KI5),Diji(SP8),Zhongdu(LR6),Sanyinjiao(SP6),and Xuehai(SP10)and non-acupuncture points.The researchers in charge of point location,operation,and statistical analysis were not aware of grouping.PU at the detection spots was taken as the outcome measure. Results:Compared with the normal group,the PD group showed increases in PU at right Taixi(KI3)before menstruation(P<0.05)and at bilateral Zhongdu(LR6)and right Diji(SP8)during menstruation(P<0.05).At the other time points,significance was not found between the two groups in comparing PU at the detected spots. Conclusion:Compared with healthy participants,PD patients present specific changes in PU at Taixi(KI3),Diji(SP8),and Zhongdu(LR6)at specific time points during the menstrual cycle,which provides a reference for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PD in clinical settings.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy ( G-POEM) for postsurgical gastroparesis. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on data of 47 patients with gastroparesis after subtotal gastrectomy, who underwent G-POEM at Zhongda Hospital Southeast University form August 2016 to June 2018. G-POEM procedure, complications related to G-POEM, and improvement of symptoms and gastric emptying function were observed. Results All patients underwent G-POEM successfully. No serious G-POEM-related complications were observed. During a follow-up period of 9. 8±5. 8 months (range 3-18 months), the scores of gastroparesis cardinal symptoms index (GCSI) were 1. 6±0. 5, 1. 2±0. 4, 1. 1±0. 6, 1. 4±0. 3 and 1. 7±0. 3 respectively at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 18th months after G-POEM, and all scores were lower than that before G-POEM (3. 8±1. 1, all P<0. 01). The results showed the symptoms of gastroparesis were improved significantly. Gastric emptying imaging showed the hemi-emptying time was 23. 8±8. 8 min, 21. 2±9. 5 min, 20. 9±8. 3 min and 26. 4±7. 8 min at the 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th months after G-POEM, respectively, significantly shorter than that before G-POEM (67. 8±12. 5 min, all P<0. 01). Three-dimensional ultrasonography results of gastric antrum volume showed that the hemi-emptying time was 26. 4 (21. 8, 40. 3) min, 22. 6 (13. 9, 32. 7) min, 24. 3 (18. 2, 36. 5) min and 26. 8 (16. 4, 38. 5) min at the 1st, 6th, 12th and 18th months after G-POEM, respectively, which were all significantly shorter than that before G-POEM [ 72. 5 ( 48. 3, 108. 6 ) min, all P<0. 01 ] . Conclusion G-POEM has a satisfactory long-term efficacy on the treatment of gastroparesis after subtotal gastrectomy with good safety.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children with brucellosis, and to provide a practical basis and experience for clinical diagnosis and treatment of brucellosis.Methods:Retrospective analysis was used to collect clinical data of children with brucellosis diagnosed at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from May 2015 to October 2017, and their epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and clinical diagnosis and treatment were summarized.Results:A total of 24 children were included, including 14 males and 10 females, with an average age of 6 years (1 year 2 months to 12 years old). Except February, onset throughout the year, higher incidence was from May to July (14 cases, 58.33%). The exposure history of the children was mainly exposure to cattle and sheep and consumption of beef and mutton (18 cases, 75.00%). The main clinical manifestations were fever in 24 cases (100.00%), bone and joint pain in 14 cases (58.33%), hepatomegaly in 9 cases (37.50%), splenomegaly in 7 cases (29.17%). Tube agglutination test (SAT) was positive in 21 cases (87.50%), weakly positive in 1 case (4.17%) and negative in 2 cases (8.33%). Brucella was detected in all 24 cases by microbial culture, and in 18 cases (75.00%) by blood culture. Eighteen cases (75.00%) had liver dysfunction. Thirteen cases were misdiagnosed, and the misdiagnosis rate was as high as 54.17%. Twenty-two cases had been cured after treatment, 2 cases relapsed and recovered after continued treatment. Conclusions:Children with brucellosis have diverse epidemiology and clinical features, and are easily misdiagnosed. For children with fever, bone and joint pain and exposure history, pediatricians should be alert to the possibility of brucellosis, conduct microbiological and serological tests, in order to timely, accurate and standardized diagnosis and treatment of children with brucellosis.

Objective To explore the effects of image registration using various regions of interest(ROI)on the setup error for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)patients who were immobilized individually.Methods Forty-three NPC patients who required radiotherapy were enrolled.The patients were immobilized with customized plastic foam and thermoplastic mask,and CBCT verification was performed once a week.In CBCT images,ROI was divided into the whole ROI(ROIPTV)and 7 local ROI containing different cervical structures(ROIsphenoid sinus,ROIatlantoaxial,ROIneck3,ROIneck4,ROIneck5,ROIneck6,and ROIneck7),which were then used for registrations with localized CT image.The setup errors in superior-inferior(SI),left-right(LR),anterior-posterior(AP),Pitch,Roll,and Yaw directions were recorded.Results In SI direction,the setup errors within 0.3 cm accounted for 89.74%for ROIneck7,and more than 90%for the other ROI.The proportion of setup errors within 0.3 cm gradually increased with the neck upward in LR direction,and they were 76.78%,81.70%,85.26%,and above 90%for ROIneck7,ROIneck6,ROIneck5,and the other ROI,respectively.In AP direction,the proportions of setup errors within 0.3 cm were less than 90%,except for ROIatlantoaxial and ROIneck3.The setup errors of ROIsphenoid sinus,ROIatlantoaxial,ROIneck3,and ROIneck4 were significantly positively correlated with ROIPTV in SI direction,and the correlation coefficients(R)were 0.94,0.95,0.90,and 0.83,respectively.In LR direction,there were positive correlations between the setup errors of ROIatlantoaxial and ROIsphenoid sinus(R=0.95),ROIneck3 and ROIsphenoid sinus(R=0.91),ROIPTV and ROIneck3(R=0.91).The setup errors of ROIPTV in AP direction were positively correlated with ROIatlantoaxial vertebrae and ROIneck3(R=0.88,0.90).The margins of all ROIs ranged from 0.38 cm to 1.01 cm.The extension of ROIneck6 and ROIneck7 in AP direction exceeded 0.9 cm,and the extension of ROIneck7 reached 0.95 cm in SI direction.Conclusion ROIPTV and ROIsphenoid sinus,ROIatlantoaxial,ROIneck3 are significantly correlated in SI,LR,and AP directions.The setup error of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients gradually increases with the neck down.The nasopharyngeal and cervical regions need to be expanded in segments when patients are immobilized individually.
