Objective:To determine the prevalence of Salmonella paratyphi C phage ( SPC-P1 ) in dif-ferent Salmonella serovars and to identify the integration sites in host genome. Methods: Based on the complete genome of SPC-P1 in S. paratyphi C RKS4594, 6 pairs of primers were designed and used to amplify the fragments of SPC-P1 in 11 S. typhi, 11 S. paratyphi A, 12 S. paratyphi B and 23 S. para-typhi C strains. At the same time, 100 complete genomes of Salmonella including 20 serovars available in National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI) database were downloaded and aligned by Mauve 2. 3. 1 to determine the prevalence of SPC-P1 in these serovars. Primers were designed according to the integration sites of SPC-P1 in the genome of RKS4594 , and used to amplify ten strains having SPC-P1 in the genome. The PCR products were sequenced to investigate the integration sites of SPC-P1. Results:SPC-P1 was widely distributed in S. paratyphi C genome. In the study, 14 strains had all 6 fragments and 2 strains had 3-5 fragments. All the amplified fragments showed expected sizes. In contrast, in the ge-nomes of S. typhi, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B, no or only 1-2 fragments could be amplified, and the sizes were smaller than expected. The results from Mauve showed that only in the genome of S. choleraesuis, which was a close relative of S. paratyphi C, there existed an almost complete genome of SPC-P1. The insertion site of SPC-P1 in all the ten S. paratyphi C strains tested was between pgtE and yfdC genes. Conclusion:SPC-P1 is a unique virulence factor of S. paratyphi C. It may play roles in the host range and pathogenicity of S. paratyphi C.

Objective:To evaluate the role of using the double body position CT(DBP-CT)in the staging of advanced gastric cancer.Methods:We performed CT examination in 85 patients with advanced gastric cancer which were divided into the double postion group(55 cases)and the single position group(30 cases),after oral intake water agent.The preoperative CT findings of each group was compared with surgical findings respectively and the accuracy in the CT staging of advanced gastric cancer of each group was estimated.Results:The accuracy in the preoperative CT staging of double position group was 89.09%,and in single postition group was 60%.There was a significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Our findings show that the DBP-CT is surperior to the single position group in finding lesion,confineing the range of the tumour,and determing the degree of adjacent invasion.It can improve the diagnostic accuracy in the preoperative staging of advanced gastric cancers significantly.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of portal pressure gradient after selective devascularization with postoperative complications and recurrent bleeding of gastroesophageal varix in patients of portal hypertension. Methods The clinical data of 135 cases of portal hypertension undergoing selective devascularization was collected. Portal pressure gradient was measured before splenectomy and after selective devascularization, and was analyzed against postoperative complications and recurrent bleeding. Results In this study, 135 patients of portal hypertension underwent selective devascularization, two cases died during perioperative period ( 1.5% ). Postoperatively patients were divided into three groups based on PPG ＜ 12 mm Hg after selective devascularization (62 cases), HVPG ≥ 12 mm Hg but a more than 20% of decrease off the pre-splenectomy baseline (41 cases) and HVPG ≥12 mm Hg with less than 20% of decrease from the baseline (32 cases). The postoperative complications between the three groups were of no significant difference ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The 1,2,3 year cumulative rate of no variceal rebleeding of the three groups were 100% vs. 100% vs. 95%; 100%vs. 97% vs. 90%; and 100% vs. 93% vs. 87% (x2 =6. 859, P = 0. 032). COX regression analysis indicated portal vein pressure gradient was an independent prognostic factor of variceal bleeding recurrence (P=0.002). 1,2,3 year cumulative survival rates of the three groups were 100% vs. 100% vs. 94%; 98% vs. 95% vs. 92%; 97% vs. 93% vs. 88%, there were no significant difference among the three groups ( x2 = 2. 917, P = 0. 233 ). Conclusions The decrease in the PPG after selective devascularization is a predictor for the risk of rebleeding but not for survival after selective devascularization.

BACKGROUND:Short-segment pedicle screw technology has been extensively used in the treatment and repair of thoracolumbar burst fractures. The technique of operative treatment through the paraspinal muscle approach has advantages such as less trauma and bleeding, and rapid recovery. However, it requires further investigations to verify the superiority of the paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and Cobb’s angle of short-segment pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar fractures. METHODS:From September 2010 to June 2012, 56 patients with thoracic and lumbar fractures were included in the retrospective study, including 42 males and14 females, with an average of 45 years (range 18-59 years). According to the surgical approach, patients were divided into two groups, traditional approach (n=25) and paraspinal muscle approach (n=31). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and postoperative ambulant time in the two groups were observed and compared. The visual analog scale scores at 7 days, 1 month and 6 months postoperatively were recorded. The Cobb’s angles of suffered vertebra were measured preoperatively and at 7 days and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up after internal fixation. The paraspinal muscle approach was superior to traditional approach in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and postoperative ambulant time, and visual analog scale scores at 7 days and 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the preoperative and postoperative Cobb’s angle in the two groups (P>0.05). The short-segment pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal muscle approach of two lateral incisions near the posterior median line in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar fractures, is an effective and minimal y invasive treatment, with less trauma, less bleeding, rapid recovery, and simple operations. Similar to open surgery, this treatment can recover the anatomical morphology and reconstruct spinal stability, and had good biocompatibility to the host.

The real-time monitoring of cerebral hemorrhage can reduce its disability and fatality rates greatly. On the basis of magnetic induction phase shift, we in this study used filter and amplifier hardware module, NI-PXI data-acquisition system and LabVIEW software to set up an experiment system. We used Band-pass sample method and correlation phase demodulation algorithm in the system. In order to test and evaluate the performance of the system, we carried out saline simulation experiments of brain hemorrhage. We also carried out rabbit cerebral hemorrhage experiments. The results of both saline simulation and animal experiments suggested that our monitoring system had a high phase detection precision, and it needed only about 0.030 4s to finish a single phase shift measurement, and the change of phase shift was directly proportional to the volume of saline or blood. The experimental results were consistent with theory. As a result, this system has the ability of real-time monitoring the progression of cerebral hemorrhage precisely, with many distinguished features, such as low cost, high phase detection precision, high sensitivity of response so that it has showed a good application prospect.
