Objective To investigate the clinical features of gynecological malignant tumor related multiple primary malignant neoplasms (MPMN).Methods Apply retrospective and comprehensive analysis to the clinical data of 30 patients with gynecological malignant tumor related MPMN.Results Synchronous MPMN were found in 9 patients.Their average age was 50.2 years old and their median age was 49 years old.The neoplasms were located at ovary,uterus,cervix,breast and intestine.Metachronous MPMN were found in 21 patients.Their average age was 57.7 and their median age was 57 years old.The median interval between the first and the second primary malignant neoplasm was 4.0 years.The neoplasms were located at breast,ovary,uterus,gastrointestinal tract,uterine cervix,lung etc.In 30 cases,26 of them were treated by surgical operation and further adjunctive treatment of chemotherapy and (or) radiotherapy was conducted as per the neoplasm staging and its pathological results.The rest 4 patients (first primary malignant neoplasms were excised from 3 of them and another one was not treated by surgical operation) received adjunctive treatment of chemotherapy and (or) radiotherapy.Followed ups,which varied from 6 to 60 months,were made to 29 patients and 20 out of the 29 were alive.5-year survival rate of patients with gynecological malignant tumor related MPMN was 47.8％,2-year survival rate was 73.9％,and 1-year survival rate was 88.6％.Conclusion Pay more attention to the patients with gynecological malignant tumor related MPMN,examine the high-risk patients with malignant tumor comprehensively,identify whether it is recurrence,metastasis or new growth of malignant neoplasm,and further ensure early diagnosis and proper treatment,avoiding misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To determine the drug resistance phenotype and genotype of plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from Harbin.METHODS Isolates of K.pneumoniae with an inhibition ring to cefoxitin of ≤18 mm diameter were used.Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined by disc diffusion method.AmpC genes were detected by PCR with six pairs of primers.RESULTS Sixty-three isolates had an inhibition ring to cefoxitin of ≤18 mm diameter and 26(11.3%)were detected to be AmpC-producing in a total of 231 clinical isolates of K.pneumoniae.Seventy-six percent,70.2%,53.8%,50.5%,57.7%,38.5% and 7.7% of AmpC-producers were resistant to cefoxitin,cefotaxime,ceftazidime,amoxicillin/clavulanic cid,ciprofloxacin,amikacin and imipenem,respectively.ACT,DHA and CIT types of AmpC beta-lactamase were detected in 13,8 and 5 isolates,respectively.No ACC,MOX and FOX were detected.CONCLUSIONS The AmpC ?-lactamase in Harbin is mainly in the types of ACT,DHA and CIT.AmpC-producing K.pneumoniae shows decreased susceptibilities to cefoxitin and third generation cephalosporins.

Dronedarone, a class Ⅲ antiarrhythmic drug, is a deiodinated benzofuran derivative of amiodarone. It has similar antiarrhythmic effects with amiodarone, but much lesser adverse effects than amiodarone, particularly in those outside the heart. It is suggested to use dronedarone for the rhythm control of atrial fibrillation/flutter, for it has been shown to prevent the recurrence of atrial fibrillation/flutter and reduce rehospitalization in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation/flutter. Dronedarone is not recommended for the rhythm control in patients with long-term persistent atrial fibrillation or permanent atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation patients with reduced ejection fraction. Liver function, electrolyte tests and an electrocardiogram should be performed before and after the drug initiation. Potential interactions with other kinds of drugs have to be taken into consideration as well.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block in treating hemifacial spasm. Methods Fifty?four patients of both sexes, aged 26-73 yr, with the course of disease 6 months-17 yr from February 2015 to January 2016, were included in this study accord?ing to diagnostic criteria for hemifacial spasm based on expert consensus in 2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups(n=27 each)using a random number table: facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block group(group A)and nerve block group(group B). In group A, the mixed injection 2 ml(2% lidocaine hydrochloride 5 ml, compound betamethasone 1 ml, mecobalamin 1 mg, diluted to 18 ml in normal sa?line)was given at facial Sibai, Jiachengjiang, Xiaguan and Yifeng acupoints once every 5 days, 3 times in total;facial nerve block was performed via the stylomastoid foramen with the mixed injection(5 ml) previously described once every 5 days, 3 times in total;stellate ganglion block was performed on the right and left side alternately once a day, 5 times on each side. In group B, patients received facial nerve block and stellate ganglion block, and no facial acupoint injection was applied. The Cohen rating and Shorr out?come were recorded before treatment and at 10th day, 3rd month and 1 yr after treatment, and the recur?rence was recorded at 3 months and 1 yr after treatment. Results Compared with group B, Cohen classifi?cation was significantly decreased, and the effective rate was increased at 10th day, 3rd month and 1 yr af?ter treatment, and the recurrence rate was decreased at 3 months and 1 yr after treatment in group A(P<0.05). Conclusion The facial acupoint injection combined with nerve block produces better long?term ef?ficacy in treating hemifacial spasm than nerve block alone.

Objective: Tumor markers have been widely used clinically. Detection of serum CA125 is one of the commonly used clinical methods for early screening and early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer, but it is difficult to diagnose epithelial ovarian cancer with a single specific tumor marker. In this study, the combinatorial tumor marker detection method was used to compare the value of each tumor marker alone and different combinations in the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods: The clinical data of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (n=65) and ovarian benign disease (n=29) were collected. Multiple tumor marker protein chip was used to detect cancer antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 199 (CA199), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), Ferritin, cancer antigen 153 (CA153), and human growth hormone (HGH) serum levels, and to compare the differences between the benign and malignant ovarian tumors. The correlation between tumor markers and clinicopathologic features for ovarian epithelial carcinoma was analyzed by χ2 test. Spearman rank analysis showed the correlation between CA125 expression level and other tumor markers in epithelial ovarian cancer and the correlation between age and the above 10 tumor markers. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden index, and diagnostic efficiency were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of single tumor marker and the combination of tumor markers. Results: The levels of β-HCG, NSE, CA153, and CA125 in the epithelial ovarian cancer group were higher than those in the ovarian benign disease group. The level of NSE in the serum of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer was related to the clinical stage of patients. In addition, the levels of CA242, β -HCG, CEA, NSE, Ferritin, CA153 in the serum of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer were positively correlated with CA125 (rs=0.497, P< 0.001; rs=0.612, P<0.001; rs=0.358, P=0.003; rs=0.680, P<0.001; rs=0.322, P=0.009; rs= 0.609, P<0.001, respectively), and the levels of β-HCG, Ferritin, CA153 were positively correlated with the patient's age (rs=0.256, P=0.040; rs=0.325, P=0.008; rs=0.249, P=0.046, respectively). In the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer, the sensitivity, Youden index, and diagnostic efficiency of CA125 detection alone were higher than the results of the other 9 separate detections. When CA153, CA199, CA242, Ferritin, and CEA were combined with CA125, the sensitivity of the combined detection of different combinations was higher than that of CA125 alone. The combined detection sensitivities of CA125+CEA and CA125+Ferritin+CEA were 89.2％ and 90.8％, respectively, and the diagnostic efficiencies were both 84.1％, which were higher than those of other combinations. The Youden index of CA125+CEA joint detection was 0.616, which was higher than those of other combinations. Conclusion: CA125 has a high diagnostic value in the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. The detection of combined tumor markers in serum has higher sensitivity and specificity in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Coactosin-like protein 1 (Cotl1), a member of the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin family, was first purified from a soluble fraction of Dictyostelium discoideum cells. Neuronal migration requires cytoskeletal remodeling and actin regulation. Although Cotl1 strongly binds to F-actin, the role of Cotl1 in neuronal migration remains undescribed. In this study, we revealed that Cotl1 overexpression impaired migration of both early- and late-born neurons during mouse corticogenesis. Moreover, Cotl1 overexpression delayed, rather than blocked, neuronal migration in late-born neurons. Cotl1 expression disturbed the morphology of migrating neurons, lengthening the leading processes. This study is the first to investigate the function of Cotl1, and the results indicate that Cotl1 is involved in the regulation of neuronal migration and morphogenesis.

It was a cross-sectional study. Six myocardial infarction patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA group) admitted to Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from July 2021 to August 2022 were enrolled in the study and 78 healthy subjects were selected as control group. The patients and healthy controls were selected with 1∶1 propensity score matching according to age, gender, body mass index, occupation and marriage status; and 5 study subjects of each group were finally enrolled in the study. The general clinical data and magnetocardiographic (MCG) results were collected from the hospital′s electronic medical record system. Compared with control group, MINOCA group showed abnormal QR rotation, discrete changes in positive and negative magnetic poles in TT segment, and disordered current direction. The analysis of MCG data revealed 35 parameters with statistically significant difference between the two groups, involving TT interval, QRS complex, RS interval and QR interval. This study explored the magnetocardiographic characteristics of MINOCA, which suggest that MCG may be conducive for diagnosis of MINOCA in the future.

Objective:To evaluate radiofrequency ablation-assisted liver resection on early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with microvascular invasion (MVI).Methods:A total of 82 HCC patients from Jun 2015 to Jun 2020 were divided into assisted group ( n=41) and control group ( n=41) after local hepatectomy.And by pathology,both groups were further substratified into with or without MVI subgroups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline data between two groups,nor there was difference in recurrence-free survival rate between the two groups ( χ 2=0.177, P=0.674). However, by subgroup analysis, the recurrence-free survival rate of ablation assisted group was higher than that of the simple local hepatectomy group among MVI positive patients ( χ 2=5.096, P = 0.024).Multivariate analysis showed that only tumor diameter ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.02-1.72, P=0.036) was an independent risk factor for local recurrence at the incisal margin, while mode of operation ( HR=0.15 ,95% CI: 0.04-0.52 ,P=0.003) and MVI ( HR=8.65 ,95% CI: 2.19-34.19 ,P=0.002) were independent risk factors for intrahepatic distant metastasis. Conclusion:Local hepatectomy assisted by intraoperative radiofrequency ablation on hepatic cross section could effectively reduce the postoperative early recurrence rate for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with MVI.
