Objective To compare the treatment effects,dosimetry,and toxicities to organs at risk of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) plans for cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis. Methods 62 cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis were analyzed retrospectively, and divided into two groups including intensitymodulated radiation therapy group (n=29) and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy group (n=32).Patients were performed with 6 MV-X ray.The regimen was 1.8-2.2 Gy/f,1 f/d,18-33 times in total.Prescribed dose was 40-60 Gy and median dose was 52.8 Gy. At the same time for the IMRT group 29 cases were performed with 3DCRT, which was designed using the same prescribed dose to compare radiation dose distributed in organs at risk (OAR).Results The maximum dose of the two plans showed that bladder and small intestine in IMRT plans were lower than that in 3DCRT (P＜0.05), showing the IMRT's protective advantage. The maximum dose of PTV in IMRT plans were significantly higher than 3DCRT (P＜0.05). In the group of IMRT plans, the overall 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were 65.5 ％(19/29), 42.1％(8/19), and 25.0 ％(2/8),respectively,the median survival time was 19 months,of 28 deaths,21 patients died of tumor progression,7 patients died of distant metastases.In the group of 3DCRT plans,the overall 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were 60.6 ％(20/33),35.0 ％(7/20),and 14.3 ％(1/7),respectively,the median survival time was 17 months,of 32 deaths, 24 patients died of tumor progression, 8 patients died of distant metastasis. There were no significant differences in overall 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates between the two groups (P＞0.05). The incidence rate of toxicity in the IMRT plans was significantly lower than that in the 3DCRT plans, especially for patients with Ⅰ level and Ⅱ level.Conclusion The treatment effects of the IMRT plans are better than the 3DCRT plans for cervical carcinoma patients with recurrence and metastasis. IMRT plans can improve radiation dose in tumors and reduce the dose distributed in normal issue and reduce the incidence of the side effect.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of remimazolam-propofol-sufentanil for anesthesia in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy.Methods:Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ patients, aged 20-59 yr, weighing 44-69 kg, scheduled for elective painless gastroscopy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: remimazolam-propofol-sufentanil group (group RPS) and propofol-sufentanil group (group PS). The patients in group RPS received successive intravenous injection of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg, remimazolam 0.15 mg/kg and propofol (at a rate of 4 mg/s). The patients in group PS received intravenous injection of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg and propofol (at a rate of 4 mg/s). When Observer′ s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score was 0, gastroscopy was performed.The consumption of propofol, time of anesthesia, time for gastroscopy, emergence time and discharge time were recorded.The number of intraoperative assisted respiration cases, body movement and occurrence of adverse reactions at the time of discharge were observed. Results:Compared with group PS, the consumption of propofol was significantly decreased, and the time of anesthesia, emergence time and discharge time were shortened in group RPS ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the time for gastroscopy, the number of intraoperative assisted respiration cases, body movement and the occurrence of adverse reactions at discharge time between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Remimazolam-propofol-sufentanil produces better efficacy for anesthesia than propofol-sufentanil in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of respiratory viruses in children from Wuxi area.Methods A total of 2 747 cases of children diagnosed with acute respiratory infection in Wuxi during 2011 —2014 were collected.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect nine kinds of respiratory viruses,including influenza virus A (Flu A),influenza virus B (Flu B),parainfluenza virus (PIV)Ⅰ-Ⅳ,adenovirus (ADV),respiratory sycytial virus (RSV),human metaneumovirus (hMPV), human bocavirus (HBov),human coronaviruses (hCov)and human rhinovirus (HRV).The categorical data were compared using chi square test.Results A total of 856 among the 2 747 samples were tested positive for respiratory virus nucleic acid,with the positive rate of 31 .16%.The viral distribution was uneven in different seasons,and the infection peaked in winter and spring.The virus detection rate was highest in age 1 to 2 year group (up to 40.18%),and followed by age 6 to 12 year group (32.63%).Flu A virus was the most frequently detected virus,accounting for 7.54% (207/2 747);followed by PIV, accounting for 6.95 % (191/2 747);and Flu B accounted for 4.22%(116/2 747).There were 84 cases of mixed infection of two or more kinds of respiratory viruses,with positive rate of 3.06% (84/2 747 ). Conclusions Our study suggests that Flu A is the most common pathogen in children with acute respiratory infections in Wuxi area during 2011 —2014;virus detection rate is highest in age 1 to 2 year group;and parainfluenza virus is almost detected throughout the year,while the rest of respiratory viruses are commonly seen in winter and spring.

maneuver,extent of liver resection,number of tumors,tumor diameter,tumor thrombus and liver cirrhosis were enrolled and prognostic factors resulting in perioperative liver failure and death for the HCC patients were explored.Measurement data with skewed distribution were presented as M (range) and comparison between the 2 groups was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.Count data were presented as counts (percentage) and comparison between the 2 groups was analyzed using chi-square test or Fisher exact probability.Univariate analysis was performed by chi-square test and multivariate analysis was performed by Logistic regression model (forward).Results (1) The intraoperative conditions:the volume of intraoperative blood loss were 500 mL (range,30-7 000 mL) in the cirrhosis group and 400 mL (range,50-8 000 mL) in the non-cirrhosis group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (Z =-2.209,P ＜ 0.05).The operation time,rate of blood transfusion and rate of pringle maneuver were 250 minutes (range,82-715 minutes),29.86％ (189/633),62.24％ (394/633) in the cirrhosis group and 242 minutes (range,85-738 minutes),27.11％ (122/450),66.67％ (300/450) in the non-cirrhosis

30.49％(193/633) in the cirrhosis group and 21.11％ (95/450) in the non-cirrhosis group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =11.851,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of lung infection,abdominal infection and liver failure were 6.48％ (41/633),2.69％ (17/633),5.53％ (35/633) in the cirrhosis group and 3.56％ (16/450),0.89％ (4/450),1.33％ (6/450) in the non-cirrhosis group,respectively,with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (x2 =4.502,4.465,12.713,P ＜ 0.05).The duration of postoperative hospital stay was 15 days (range,0-70 days) in the cirrhosis group and 14 days (range,0-71 days) in the non-cirrhosis group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (Z =-3.448,P ＜ 0.05).The perioperative mortality was 5.85％ (37/633) in the cirrhosis group and 2.44％ (11/450) in the non-cirrhosis group,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=7.181,P ＜ 0.05).(3)Results of risk factors affecting perioperative liver failure:①results of univariate analysis showed that age,AST,Alb,Child-Pugh classification,operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,blood transfusion,extent of liver resection,tumor diameter,liver cirrhosis with positive HBsAg were associated with perioperative liver failure in HCC patients (x2=5.013,7.979,8.855,16.968,14.148,9.764,18.511,11.749,5.534,12.713,P＜0.05);age,AST,Alb,Child-Pugh classification,operation time,blood transfusion,extent of liver resection and tumor diameter were

liver resection ≥3 segments and liver cirrhosis were independent risk factors affecting perioperative liver failure in HCC patients with positive HBsAg [OR =2.285,2.716,2.315,2.159,2.459,4.322;95％ confidence interval (CI):1.081-4.831,1.100-6.706,1.064-5.038,1.068-4.362,1.264-9.786,1.763-10.598,P＜0.05];Alb ＜38 g/L,Child-Pugh class B,blood transfusion and extent of liver resection ≥ 3 segments

perioperative death:①results of univariate analysis showed that gender,Alb,TBil,Child-Pugh classification,blood transfusion,extent of liver resection,tumor diameter,tumor thrombus and liver cirrhosis were associated with perioperative death in HCC patients with positive H BsAg (x2=4.462,8.783,4.212,4.869,7.189,11.745,6.837,4.323,7.181,P ＜0.05);Alb,extent of liver resection and tumor diameter were associated with perioperative death in the cirrhosis group (x2=12.173,12.793,10.981,P ＜ 0.05);blood transfusion and tumor thrombus were associated with perioperative death in the non-cirrhosis group (x2 =5.836,6.417,P ＜ 0.05).② Results of multivariate analysis showed that Alb ＜38 g/L,extent of liver resection ≥ 3 segments and liver cirrhosis were independent risk factors affecting perioperative death in HCC patients with positive HBsAg (OR =2.560,2.657,2.567,95％ CI:1.382-4.742,1.471-4.800,1.283-5.134,P ＜ 0.05);Alb ＜ 38 g/L,extent of liver resection ≥ 3 segments and tumor diameter≥5 cm were independent risk factors affecting perioperative death in the cirrhosis group (OR =3.003,2.533,3.060,95％ CI:1.495-6.034,1.251-5.128,1.135-8.251,P＜0.05);blood transfusion and tumor thrombus were independent risk factors affecting perioperative death in the non-cirrhosis group (OR =3.755,4.036,95％ CI:1.047-13.467,1.126-14.469,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Liver cirrhosis is an independent risk factor for perioperative liver failure and death in HCC patients with positive HBsAg.The risk of perioperative liver failure and death in HCC patients with cirrhosis is significantly higher than that in HCC patients without cirrhosis,and there is a difference in the risk factors for perioperative liver failure and death.

AIM:To investigate the role of minocycline on glutamate uptake in the periventricular zone and its putative mechanism after hypoxic exposure in neonatal rats.METHODS: A model of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) was developed by putting postnatal 1 d rat pups in 5%O2 for 3.5 h.The glutamate level in periventricular zone was measured by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry assay ( LC-MS/MS) after hypoxic exposure for 4 h and 1 d.The dynamic changes of glutamate transporters EAAT1, and EAAT2 during developmental period in periventricular zone were determined by Western blot.Moreover, the expression of EAAT1, EAAT2, Iba-1, IL-1β, TNF-αand TGF-β1 was also detected by Western blot after hypoxic exposure for 4 h and 1 d in that region.The effects of mino-cycline on all parameters mentioned above were tested after minocycline treatment at the same time points and in the same region.RESULTS:After hypoxic exposure, glutamate level was increased, but it was decreased after minocycline treat-ment.EAAT1 and EAAT2 kept a low expression level at the first postnatal week, but a predominant elevation was found at the end of the second postnatal week.The expression of EAAT1, EAAT2, Iba-1, IL-1βand TGF-β1 was increased at 1 d after hypoxic exposure.EAAT1 and TNF-αexpression was significantly up-regulated, while EAAT2 was down-regulated af-ter minocycline treatment.CONCLUSION: Minocycline inhibits the increase in the glutamate level after hypoxia in periventricular region of the neonatal rats.The mechanism may relate to the selective regulation of glutamate transporters, rather than the inhibition of neuroinflammation in periventricular zone.

Objective To establish the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods for the quantitative determination of IgG antibodies against diphtheria (DT) and tetanus (TT).MethodsPurified diphtheria toxiod and tetanus toxoid were respectively used as the coating antigens,the human-derived serum antibody standard substance of DT and TT served as the standard substance.The dose-response curves of the tested samples and standard substance were fitted.Then the two quantitative ELISA methods for determining the antibody to DT (Anti-DT) and antibody to TT (Anti-TT) were established with the parallel lines method.Then the methodological verification and application study were conducted.Results The validation results of the two quantitative ELISA measurement methods were in accordance with the regulations.The quantity limit of ELISA method for quantitative detection of Anti-DT demonstrated to be 0.084 mIU/mL,its average recovery rate was 97.6%.The intra-assay coefficient of variation(CV) and inter-assay CV of this Anti-DT assay were ≤ 3.40% and ≤5.05%,respectively.The quantity limit of ELISA method for quantitative detection of Anti-TT demonstrated to be 0.175 mIU/mL,its average recovery rate was 97.5%.The intra-assay CV and inter-assay CV of this Anti-TT assay were ≤ 2.42% and ≤5.58%,respectively.These two methods were applied for the immunogenicity evaluation after infantile basic immunization by diphtheria and tetanus vaccines.Conclusion The two established quantitative ELISA methods demonstrate high accuracy and good reproducibility,which are suitable for the ordinary laboratory to carry out the work and can be used in the serological effect evaluation after diphtheria and tetanus vaccine immunization and epidemiological study of diphtheria and tetanus disease.
