Although a great number of studies have investigated the changes of resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in patients with mental disorders, such as depression and schizophrenia etc, little is known how stable the changes are, and whether temporal sad or happy mood can modulate the intrinsic rsFC. In our experiments, happy and sad video clips were used to induce temporally happy and sad mood states in 20 healthy young adults. We collected functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data while participants were watching happy or sad video clips, which were administrated in two consecutive days. Seed-based functional connectivity analyses were conducted using the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and amygdala as seeds to investigate neural network related to executive function, attention, and emotion. We also investigated the association of the rsFC changes with emotional arousability level to understand individual differences. There is significantly stronger functional connectivity between the left DLPFC and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) under sad mood than that under happy mood. The increased connectivity strength was positively correlated with subjects' emotional arousability. The increased positive correlation between the left DLPFC and PCC under sad relative to happy mood might reflect an increased processing of negative emotion-relevant stimuli. The easier one was induced by strong negative emotion (higher emotional arousability), the greater the left DLPFC-PCC connectivity was indicated, the greater the instability of the intrinsic rsFC was shown.

Objective To explore the relationship between peritoneal lavage cytology in gastric carcinoma and lymph node metastasis.Methods From June 2012 to May 2014,intraoperative peritoneal lavage for cancer cells was carried out in 226 gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy.During the process 63 patients were irrigated with 500 ml of normal saline,while the others were using 1 000 ml.D2+ lymph nodes dissection was performed to evaluate the relationship between peritoneal lavage cytology in gastric carcinoma and lymph nodes metastasis.Results The positive rates of exfoliative carcinoma cells were 11.1％ in the 500 ml group and 9.2％ in the 1 000 ml group (x2 =0.188,P=0.695).In both groups,rate of exforliative cancer cells were positively related to lymph node metastasis,the numbers of positive lymph nodes,the station of lymph nodes metastasis,the rate of the lymph nodes metastasis and that of the second station (all P ＜ 0.05),but not to the numbers of the lymph node cleaned (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Lymph nodes metastasis was an important risk factor that contribute to exfoliated carcinoma cells in patients with gastric carcinoma,and especially in those with lymph nodes metastasis at the second station.

Objective To study the compatibility of TCM prescriptions of TCM practitioners of all dynasties of Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods Amnesia, forgetting, dementia, and idiot were set as search words to retrieve relevant literature in Encyclopadia of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Prescription information was screened and standardized to build database. Frequency analysis and association rules were used to mine TCM prescriptions and compatibility rules. Results Totally 449 AD related prescriptions were selected, involving 682 Chinese medicinal herbs. The individual herb with the highest frequency was Ginseng Radix Rhizoma (192);the herbal pair with the highest frequency was Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix (182);the herbal combination with 3 Chinese medicinal herbs with the highest frequency was Poria with Hostwood-Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix (79);the herbal combination with 4 Chinese medicinal herbs with the highest frequency was Polyhalae Radix-Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Poria with Hostwood-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (37). The results of association rules showed that Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix, Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Poria with Hostwood were commonly used compatibilities in AD related prescriptions. Conclusion Treatment of TCM practitioners in all dynasties for AD mainly chooses Chinese medicinal herbs with the efficacy of tonifying qi and soothing nerves. The compatibilities and combinations are reasonable and with certain representativeness.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial distribution and the extent of drug resistance in ICU patients,and offer the first-hand information to the clinical preventive and therapeutic countermeasures. METHODS The antimicrobial susceptibility tests to 28 commonly used antibiotics were performed using the ATB Expression of Bio-Merieux with K-B method.The ESBLs were detected by the disk diffusion tests and the confirmatory tests,and the MRSA,MRCNS,and VRE were also tested at the sametime. RESULTS Totally 264 strains were isolated from the 201 positive samples,among them 192 strains were Gram-negative bacteria,43 strains were Gram-positive ones,and 29 strains were fungi.The percentage of these three groups were 72.7%,16.3% and 11.0%,respectively.The main strains of the Gram-negative bacteria were PAE,ABA,KPN,ECO and SMA,and of the Gram-positive bacteria were EC,SAU and CNS.The major strain of fungi was C.albicans.The pathogens tested showed high drug resistance.The Gram-negative bacteria showed tendency of sensitivity to IPM,AZT,CAZ,FEP,SFC,AMK and CIP,and the Gram-positive bacteria to VAN,SXT,RIF and NIF.For KPN and ECO,the percentage of strains producing ESBLs were 64.7% and 64.3%.And the percentage of MRSA,MRCNS,VRE were 80%,66.7% and 22.2%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS It was showed that the major pathogens infected the ICU patients are Gram-negative bacteria,and the pathogens show the high drug resistance.Doctors should pay more attention to analyze the bacterial resistance profile in order to decrease the incidence of drug resistance and use the antibiotics properly.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of dose?volume histograms ( DVHs ) of organs at risk ( OARs ) including the bladder, rectum, and small intestine in volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) plans for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 100 VMAT plans for cervical cancer were assigned into the learning group. The correlation of the anatomical information with the V30 , V40 , and V50 values of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine was evaluated in the group. The support vector regression ( SVR) algorithm was used to establish the correspondence between the anatomical information and the DVHs of OARs. The DVHs of OARs in the verification group containing 20 VMAT plans were predicted based on the anatomical information. Results The DVHs of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine were likely to be influenced mainly by the spatial relationship between these OARs and target volume. In the verification group, the prediction errors of V30,V40 and V50 by SVR algorithm were-2.4%±3. 5%,-2.5%±3. 8%, and-1.5%±4. 9% for the bladder, 0.5%±2. 6%,-1.5%±5. 1%, and-2.0%±7. 4% for the rectum, and-2.9%± 5. 3%, 2.7%±7. 7%, and 5.3%±11. 1% for the small intestine, respectively. Conclusions After learning the correlation between the anatomical information and the DVHs of OARs from prior VMAT plans for cervical cancer, SVR algorithm can precisely predict the DVHs of the bladder, rectum, and small intestine based on the anatomical information.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of salivary gland tumors and their pathological types. Methods: Data from 2 456 patients with salivary gland tumors diagnosed between January 1973 and December 2018 at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were collected, and their gender, age and tumor pathological type, location, and benign and malignant composition ratios were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Over the 46-year study period, 2 456 patients with salivary gland tumors were treated; 41.9% were female, and 58.1% were male. The peak incidence was found among the 40 to 60 years of age group, in which 593 (24.1%) patients had malignant tumors and 1 863 (75.9%) had benign tumors. The ratio of benign and malignant tumors was 3.1∶1. The top two most common benign tumors were pleomorphic adenoma (58.7%) and Warthin tumors (33.6%). The top two most common malignant tumors were mucoepidermoid carcinoma (27.7%) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (26.1%). The most common sites of benign pleomorphic adenomas were the parotid glands, palate, and submandibular glands. Mucinous epidermoid carcinomas in malignant tumors were common in the parotid glands and small salivary glands. The incidence of salivary gland tumors in this group has increased each year, and this group accounted for 53.3% of the total cases over the past 10 years. Conclusion The number of patients with salivary gland tumors is increasing each year. The total incidence of salivary gland tumors is higher in men than in women. Large salivary gland tumors are mainly benign tumors, and small salivary gland tumors are more common. Polymorphic adenomas, Warthin tumors, and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are the most common tumor types; patients 40~60 years old are most likely to have benign salivary glands and have a high incidence of malignant tumors.

Objective : To analyze the value of virtual surgical planning in the surgical treatment of osteoradionecrosis of the mandible and to provide a reference for clinical practice. .Methods : From September 2017 to June 2018, 13 patients with mandibular osteoradionecrosis were evaluated preoperatively using the 3D virtual surgery software CMF Proplan 2.0. The surgical guide was designed and 3D printed. Bone resection, fibula shaping and bone graft localization were completed during the operation. In some cases, implants were implanted at the same time, and denture restoration was completed 3 to 6 months after surgery. Patients’ general information, perioperative data, and efficacy evaluation were analyzed. Results: All patients underwent surgery successfully. The survival rate of the free fibula musculocutaneous flap was 100% (13/13), and one patient had complications (partial necrosis at the edge of the flap). The follow-up period was 7 to 15 months, and the median time was 10 months. All patients achieved a healing effect. The number of cases with an increase in mouth opening ≥ 1 cm, 0.5 cm ≤ mouth opening increase < 1 cm, and mouth opening increase < 0.5 cm were 5, 6, and 2, respectively. An imaging examination showed that 12 patients had good bone healing, and 1 patient did not completely heal 7 months after operation. The denture restoration was 92.3% (12/13), of which 3 cases were implanted and repaired at the same time. The average chewing efficiency was 56.11% ± 7.12% (42.03%-67.83%). Conclusion Virtual surgical planning is an effective method for the surgical treatment of mandibular osteoradionecrosis, which can reduce the risk of surgery and more effectively perform mandibular shape and function repair.
