Objective To evaluate the clinical value of pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) in non high-risk acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE) patients treated with sequential anticoagulation.Methods Non high-risk APTE patients treated with sequential anticoagulation were divided into two groups according to PESI:high-value group and low-value group.Prognosis and treatment response was compared between two groups.Results There were 82 cases in high-value group,and 76 cases in low-value group.The rate of adverse events in high-value group was significantly higher than that in low-value group [23.2%(19/82) vs.7.9% (6/76)] (x2 =5.0698,P =0.009),and 30 days cumulative hazard was also significantly higher than that in low-value group (P < 0.05).The sensitivity of predicting adverse events by PESI was 76.0%,specificity was 52.6%,positive predicting value was 64.6%,and negative predicting value was 65.9%.The mortality in high-value group was significantly higher than that in low-value group [9.8%(8/82) vs.1.3% (1/76)] (P =0.022).After 30 days of anticoagulation,the pulmonary artery systolic pressure,internal diameter of right ventricle in high-value group was significantly higher than that in low-value group [(39.4 ± 8.1) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(27.2 ± 5.5) mm Hg,(33.0 ± 7.8) mm vs.(21.7 ± 4.6) mm] (P =0.034,0.021),and arterial oxygen partial pressure was significantly lower than that in low-value group[(75.15 ± 12.41) mm Hg vs.(86.36 ± 9.22) mm Hg](P=0.016).Conclusions PESI can effectively predict short-term prognosis of non high-risk APTE patients treated with sequential anticoagulation.At least some of these patients might need treatment other than sequential anticoagulation.

Objective To analyze copy number variance (CNV) in whole genome by using gene chip technology, and to screen the radiosensitivity associated genes on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods The patients with ESCC who received radiotherapy alone in Anyang Tumor Hospital from December 2013 to August 2016 were selected, and biopsy paraffin samples were preserved in the center of pathology. The patients were divided into radiosensitivity group (group S) and radio-resistance group (group R). DNA was extracted from these paraffin samples in both groups. Whole human genome CNV was detected by using genechip from OncoScan Array platform designed by Affymetrix company, and the differences of gene segments were screened in the two groups. Results Nineteen samples of ESCC patients were collected to extract DNA in this study. To balance pair analysis in the two groups, 10 samples were selected from the qualified patients, including 5 cases in group S and 5 cases in group R respectively. There were no statistical differences in gender, age, lesion site, lesion length, radiation dose of the two groups (all P> 0.05). Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was the main type of CNV. The analysis results showed that LOH in q24.32-q24.33 of chromosome 10 and LOH in q21.2-q21.31 of chromosome 18 had high frequencies (100 %) in group R, however, none were detected in group S. LOH in q27-q28.1 of chromosome 4 had a high frequency (80%) in group S , however, none were detected in group R. Conclusion LOH in 10q/18q is related to radio-resistance in ESCC, and LOH in 4p is associated with radiosensitivity in ESCC.
4.Research progress in the relationship between glucagon-like peptide-2 and intestinal injury and related mechanisms
International Journal of Surgery 2023;50(9):631-635
Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a specific growth factor with intestinal protective effect. It plays a role in the regeneration and repair of intestinal injury through a variety of downstream signal pathways, which is mainly reflected in ensuring the integrity of intestinal structure, enhancing the function of intestinal barrier, increasing the blood supply of intestinal tract, and promoting the absorption of nutrients. Therefore, it is more and more popular in the clinical application of intestinal injury. This paper will summarize the latest research progress in the characteristics of GLP-2, its relationship with intestinal injury, mechanism of action and clinical application.

Objective:To explore the difference of perceptual processing in ERP between cartoon faces and real faces.Methods:Thirty college students were selected and adopted the face recognition paradigm.The independent variables were face type (real, cartoon) and emotional type (positive, neutral, negative). The dependent variables were response time and the amplitude and latency of ERP data.SPSS 22.0 software was used for repeated measurement analysis of variance.Results:The reaction time of cartoon expression ((455.58±55.18)ms) was shorter than that of real face ((471.49±63.02)ms) of college students.There was no significant difference in N170 amplitude and latency among different faces and expressions(all P>0.05). The vertex positive potential VPP latency of positive real faces ((159.89±13.93)ms) was shorter than that of positive cartoon faces ((165.68±14.35)ms) ( PVPP<0.05). It was easily affected by perceptual load, but negative emotion was not affected by it.In the late processing stage of late positive potential(LPP), the amplitude of positive emotional real face ((10.4±1.22)μV) was higher than that of cartoon ((4.26±0.53)μV), and that of negative emotional cartoon face ((3.84±0.36)μV) was higher than that of real face ((1.9±0.24)μV) ( PLPP<0.05). Conclusion:There are no differences in early stage N170, and the late processing stage, the real faces have an overall advantageous effect on positive emotion, and the local characteristics of negative emotional cartridge wells are more superior.

Objective:To compare the prognosis of fluoroucil combined with cisplatin and paclitaxel combined with cisplatin regimens with concurrent radiotherapy in treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:A total of 120 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to Anyang Tumor Hospital of Henan Province from December 2012 to November 2018 were randomly divided into group A and group B by using a random number generator. Group A was given cisplatin combined with 5-fluorouracil, and group B was given cisplatin combined with paclitaxel. Both groups had the same radiotherapy regimen, and both used intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Completions of 50 Gy radiotherapy and at least one cycle of chemotherapy were considered to be in line with the plan. Survival data was analyzed in the term of intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) set.Results:Of the 120 patients, 114 patients were treated and the adverse reactions could be evaluated, including 55 cases in group A and 59 cases in group B. The incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ leukopenia in group B was higher than that in group A [49.2% (29/59) vs. 25.5% (14/55)], and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.805, P = 0.012), and there were no statistical differences in the other adverse reactions between the two groups (All P > 0.05). A total of 113 cases can be analyzed for survival. According to ITT analysis, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time in group A and group B was 28.0 months (95% CI 15.5-34.5 months) and 27.0 months (95% CI 17.0-41.0 months), the median overall survival (OS) time was 28.0 months (95% CI 15.8-34.2 months) and not reached, the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). According to PP analysis, the median PFS time in group A and group B was 28.0 months (95% CI 15.8-34.2 months) and 29.0 months (95% CI 14.9-45.1 months), the median OS time in group A and group B was 28.0 months (95% CI 3.7-52.3 months) and not reached, the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). Conclusions:The fluorouracil combined with cisplatin regimen and paclitaxel combined with cisplatin regimen with concurrent radiotherapy have similar PFS and OS time in treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the adverse reactions are different, but they are all tolerable. In individualized clinical practice, the toxicities and costs of the two regimens can be comprehensively considered.
