Objective:To elucidate the phenotypic and functional characteristics of CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T in pleural fluid of patients with tuberculous pleurisy.Methods:PBMCs and PFCs were isolated. The frequency of CD3+,CD3+ CD4+,CD3+ CD8+ T cells and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in PFCs were analyzed by FACS. The concentration of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? in the pleural fluid were analyzed by ELISA.Production of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? by CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T cells was detected by FACS following stimulation with BCG.Results:Higher frequencies of CD3+ CD4+ T cells and CD4+ T/CD8+ T ratio were demonstrated in PFCs when compared with PBMCs from normal donors and TB patients.ELISA analysis demonstrated that significantly high levels of IFN-? and TNF-? were detected in pleural fluid.Further analysis by FACS indicated that IL-2,TNF-? and IFN-? were predominantly secreted by CD3+CD4+T cells but not by CD3+ CD8+ T cells.Conclusion:The frequencies of CD3+ and CD3+ CD4+ T cells are increased in PFCs. Large amounts of Th1 cytokines are detected,which are produced by CD3+ CD4+ T cells,and might play important roles against TB infection.

Two sample pretreatment methods of pesticide residues in Panax notoginseng of Chinese traditional medicine were developed. For Method I, the residues were extracted from homogenized tissue with n-hexane-dichloromethane (6:4) by means of ultrasonication, the crude extract was purified by an Envi-carb/NH2 solid-phase extraction (SPE) column. For Method II, matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) technique was used for extracting and cleaning up. The eluates were concentrated by rotary evaporation, and then were redissolved in dichloromethane prior to GC-MS determination. The determination was performed in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode with the external calibration for quantitative analysis. Under the optimal conditions, the results indicated that the methods are easier and faster, the recoveries of method I for the spiked standards at concentration of 0.01, 0.5, and 2.0 mg x kg(-1) were 81.90%-102.10% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.60%-7.10%. The recoveries of method II were 96.26%-104.20% with the RSDs of 3.52%-7.94%. The detection limits (S/N) for residues of pesticides were in the range of 0.48-1.34 ng x g(-1). The results indicated that these multiresidue analysis methods can meet the requirements for determination of residue pesticides and can be appropriate for trace analysis of residue pesticides in Panax notoginseng.

Objective:To explore the reasonable withdrawal time at different colonic segments.Methods:It was a prospective observational study involving 465 patients who underwent colonoscopy from November 2019 to November 2020 at our endoscopy center. Colonoscopy records in our center from July 2017 to September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed as a validation set.Results:The cut-off values of withdrawal time at ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon and rectum determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were 77 s, 61 s, 56 s, and 109 s, respectively. At the ascending colon, the adenoma detection rate (ADR) was significantly higher (17.3% VS 2.8%, P<0.001) when the colonoscopy withdrawal time was ≥77 s. When the withdrawal time was ≥61 s at the transverse colon (6.9% VS 2.8%, P=0.036), that over 59 s at the descending colon (6.3% VS 1.7%, P=0.019), and that ≥109 s at the sigmoid colon and rectum (31.0% VS 7.9%, P<0.001), the ADR was significantly higher. Multivariate analysis showed that withdrawal time of ≥77 s at the ascending colon ( OR=6.427, P<0.001), those ≥56 s at the descending colon ( OR=3.564, P=0.045) and ≥109 s at the sigmoid colon and rectum ( OR=5.073, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for the increase of ADR. In the validation set, when the withdrawal times at the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon and rectum were ≥77 s, 61 s, 56 s, and 109 s, respectively, the total ADR (48.3% VS 17.6%, OR=2.952, P<0.001) and polyp detection rate (PDR) (63.2% VS 23.0%, OR=4.191, P<0.001) significantly increased. There were no significant differences in ADR ( P=0.563) or PDR ( P=0.770) compared with those where withdrawal time was over 6 min. Conclusion:The ADR and PDR significantly increase when the withdrawal times are ≥77 s at the ascending colon, ≥61 s at the transverse colon, ≥56 s at the descending colon, and ≥109 s at the sigmoid colon and rectum.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and early identification of spontaneous rupture of uterus caused by placenta percreta.Methods:The clinical data of 12 patients with spontaneous uterine rupture caused by placenta percreta and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2014 to December 2019 were collected. The age, gestational age, gestational history, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, uterine operation history, rupture location, surgical method, treatment and outcome were analyzed.Results:(1) General condition: the median age of pregnant women was 37 years (range: 30-43 years), and the median gestational week of uterine rupture was 29 +6 weeks (range: 18 +3-36 +3 weeks). (2) Clinical manifestation: among the 12 pregnant women, 9 showed different degrees of abdominal pain; chest distress accompanied by waist soreness, abdominal distension in 2 cases; one asymptomatic pregnant women was found with uterine rupture during elective cesarean section. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasonography indicated that 9 of the 12 pregnant women had peritoneal effusion, and 6 of them underwent diagnostic peritoneal puncture or posterior vault puncture for non-clotting blood extraction. (3) Uterine operation history and rupture location: among the 12 cases of spontaneous rupture of uterus caused by placenta percreta pregnant women, 10 had placenta previa after cesarean section, including 4 cases of rupture at the incision of the original cesarean section, 3 cases of rupture at the penetrating placental implantation of the lower segment of the anterior wall of the uterus, and 1 case of placenta percreta occurred at the myomectomy site of the right angle of the uterus. Among the 2 pregnant women with spontaneous uterine rupture caused by penetrating placental implantation without a history of cesarean section, 1 case with history of multiple abortions, and uterine rupture occurred at the bottom of the palace, 1 had rupture of placental penetrating implantation after hysteroscopic electroresection of endometrial polyps, and the uterine rupture occurred at the anterior wall of the lower segment of the uterus. (4) Maternal and fetal outcomes: 11 pregnant women were injected with suspension RBC and 1 pregnant woman was not injected with blood products. Nine cases underwent hysteroplasty and 3 cases underwent subtotal hysterectomy. There were 11 maternal survivors and 1 maternal death; 7 neonates survived and 6 stillbirths. Conclusions:Uterine rupture caused by placenta percreta is of great harm to mother and infant, due to its heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, which increases the possibility of misdiagnosis. For pregnant women with risk factors of placenta percreta, early diagnosis should be made during pregnancy. For those who have been diagnosed with placenta percreta, when there is typical or atypical uterine rupture, doctors should be alert to the occurrence of uterine rupture.

Radiotherapy is the most common treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and the radiotherapy technique is essential for the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Due to the complexity of the structure of the intensity-modulated device and the accuracy of the clinical requirements of radiotherapy, it is inevitable that higher requirements will be imposed on the process of intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Currently, gaps exist in the radiotherapy equipment and personnel qualification among radiotherapy units, and thus the homogenization in the radiotherapy remains to be strengthened in China. With the application of radiotherapy information management system, digital medicine and artificial intelligence technologies in the field of radiotherapy, the original process fails to meet the application needs of the new precise radiotherapy technology. Therefore, this process is designed based on the existing radiotherapy procedures for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in combination with the latest developments in the field of radiotherapy, aiming to establish a novel standard process recommendation, ensuring the standardization and homogenization of radiotherapy and achieve the individualized intensity-modulated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
