Objective To explore the related factors of local reccurrence to rectal cancer after Dixon operation. Methods 100 patients with rectal cancer were used Dixon treatment. Then the tumor cells in the intestine and peritoneal fluid were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry during operation. The patients were followed up 2 years to understand the local recurrence. Results In 100 patients,8 cases were found in local recurrence after 2 years. 6 cases of recurrence were in the anastomotic site. Conclusion The local recurrence was related to Dukes stage,tumor distance from the anus,much margin of tumor length,tumor differentiation,intestine and abdominal shed close tumor cells,and it was worthy of attention.

Objective To investigate the effect of high concentration hydrogen gas on neurons in the rat hippocampus CA1 region during global cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury (GCIR) Methods Four-vessel occlusion was used to establish rat model with GCIR injury. One hundred and five healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(SH group, n = 15), model group(4-VO group, n = 45) and treatment group(4-VO+H2 group,n = 45). After 72 h and 9 d reperfusion, hippocampal CA1 region pyramidal neurons in every group were detected with Nissle staining , immunohistochemical neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN), specific protein antibody microglial cells (Iba1) staining and the relationship of position between neurons and microglia was observed through fluorescence double staining. We used Morris water maze to test the space orientation ability and the learning and memory ability in rats after 9 d reperfusion. Results Compared with those of 4-VO group,the neurons of hippocampus CA1 region were closer to normal in 72 h and 9 d in 4-VO+H2 group and neuron form and the number of neuron survival were increased significantly (P < 0.05);immunohistochemical staining showed that the number of neuron survival in 4-VO+H 2 group was obviously higher than that in 4-VO group (P < 0.05) and the number of microglia in 4-VO group was obviously higher than that in 4-VO+H2 group (P < 0.05). Water maze experiment showed that the swimming time in quadrant Ⅳ in 4-VO+H2 group was longer than that in 4-VO group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Inhalation of high concentration hydrogen gas has prominent protective effect on neurons of rat hippocampal CA1 region during reperfusion. The mechanism may be related with inhibiting the microglia excitation and activation during GCIR.

patients' survival up to November 2016.Survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method.Survival and univariate analyses were done using the Log-rank test,and multivariate analysis was done using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results (1) Clinical features and results of assisted examinations:among the 322 patients,there were 301 patients with a chief complaint of jaundice.Of the 322 patients,the preoperative highest levels of TBil,DBil,ALT and AST in 322 patients were 3.9-785.2 μmol/L,1.6-410.2 μ mol/L,14.8-484.5 U/L and 21.4-539.8 U/L,respectively.Levels of ALP and GGT in 272 patients were 93.8-1 890.0 U/L and 2.0-1 832.8 U/L,respectively.Seventy-seven of 292 patients had an elevated CEA level,272 of 298 patients had an elevated CA19-9 level,153 of 260 patients had an elevated CA242 level and 86 of 260 patients had an elevated CA125 level.According to Bismuth-Corlette type,24 patients were detected in type Ⅰ,115 in type Ⅱ,55 in type Ⅲa,63 in type Ⅲb and 65 in type Ⅳ.(2) Treatments and results of pathological examination:Of the 322 patients,104 patients underwent radical resection,including 79 with hilar bile duct resection (9 combined with vascular resection and reconstruction) and 25 with extended hepatic lobectomy (16 combined with caudate lobectomy),and 218 patients underwent palliative treatments,including 134 with external biliary drainage and 84 with internal biliary drainage.Five patients were dead in the perioperative period,of which 2 died of acute liver failure,1 died of systemic infection and multiple organ failure,1 died of acute renal failure and 1 died of acute suppurative cholangitis,septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation.Of 263 patients receiving pathological examination,adenocarcinoma was detected in 253 patients (12 with high-differentiated adenocarcinoma,85 with moderate-differentiated adenocarcinoma,33 with low-differentiated adenocarcinoma and 123 with indefinite differentiation),mucinous adenocarcinoma in 5 patients,cholangiocarcinoma in 3 patients and neuroendocrine carcinoma in 2 patients.TNM staging of 322 patients:stage Ⅰ was detected in 8 patients,stage Ⅱ in 53 patients,stage Ⅲ in 132 patients,stage Ⅳ in 96 patients and indefinite stage in 33 patients.(3) Follow up and survival:among the 322 patients,296 were followed up for 12-132 months,with a median follow-up time of 65 months,including 94 with radical resection and 202 with palliative treatments.Among the 296 patients,the median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 10 months,47.1％,20.2％ and 9.5％,respectively.0f296 patients with follow-up,median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 31 months,84.0％,46.2％,25.0％ in 94 patients receiving radical resection and 7 months,29.9％,8.1％ and 2.3％ in 202 patients receiving palliative treatment,respectively,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=78.777,P＜ 0.05).Among the 94 patients receiving follow-up and radical resection,the median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 31 months,82.1％,45.1％,25.7％ in 73 patients undergoing hilar bile duct resection and 35 months,90.5％,49.8％,22.1％ in 21 patients undergoing hepatic lobectomy,respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2=0.186,P＞0.05).Among the 73 patients undergoing hilar bile duct resection,median survival time and 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 16 months,57.1％,0,0 in 7 patients combined with vascular resection and reconstruction and 34 months,84.6％,49.5％,27.5％ in 66 patients undergoing simplex hilar bile duct resection,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference (x2 =11.977,P＜ 0.05).(4) Prognostic factors analysis:results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative highest TBil,preoperative CEA,preoperative CA242,preoperative CA125,treatment methods and TNM staging were related factors affecting prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (x2=25.009,18.671,9.359,33.628,94.729,77.136,P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative highest TBil ≥ 342.0 μmol/L,preoperative CEA ≥ 5.00 μg/L,palliative treatments,TNM stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were the independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HR =2.270,2.147,3.166,2.351,95％ confidence interval:1.587-3.247,1.446-3.188,2.117-4.734,1.489-3.712,P＜0.05).Conclusions Prognosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is still unsatisfactory.The R0 resection is the key in radical surgery.Preoperative highest TBil≥342.0 μmol/L,preoperative CEA ≥ 5.00 μg/L,palliative treatments,TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ are independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To explore the protective effect of in-taking high concentration hydrogen gas on neurons and dendritic spines in hippocampus CA1 region of rats after globe cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its mechanism.Methods Four-vessel occlusion (4VO) was used to establish the models of global cerebral I/R injury in rats.One hundred and twenty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:sham-operated group (inhaled 67％ N2 and 67％ O2,n=40),model group (inhaled 67％ N2 and 67％ O2 during reperfusion,n=40),and treatment group (inhaled 67％ H2 and 67％ O2 during reperfusion,n=40).After 72 h,5 and 9 d reperfusion,neuron-specific nuclear (NeuN) protein expression in the pyramidal neurons of the hippocampal CA1 region was detected with immumohistochemical staining and the positive cells were counted.And the contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum were tested with colorimetry.Water maze test was used to measure the spatial orientation and memory function and Golgi staining to detect the number of dendritic spines in neurons 9 d after reperfusion.Results (1) Immunohistochemical staining of NeuN results showed that as compared with those in the model group,the neurons ofhippocampus CA1 region were significantly closer to normal with relatively intact structure,and the number of positive neurons was significantly increased in the treatment group 72 h,5 d,and 9 d after reperfusion (P＜0.05).With the reperfusion time being prolonged,the number of NeuN stained positive neurons at different time points of reperfusion in model group was gradually decreased (P＜0.05),and the numeric of the NeuN stained positive neurons at different time points of reperfusion in treatment group was slightly declined without significant difference (P＞0.05).(2) The serum SOD activity in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the model group and sham-operated group (P＜0.05),while the MDA content in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in model group 72 h,5 d,and 9 d after reperfusion (P＜0.05).And with the reperfusion time being prolonged,the SOD activity at different time points of reperfusion showed no significant difference among the difference groups (P＞0.05).But the MDA content at different time points ofreperfusion between model group and treatment group was significantly different (P＜0.05);with the reperfusion time being prolonged,the MDA content was gradually decreased in both groups.(3) Nine d after reperfusion,water maze test found that the incubation period of treatment group was significantly shorter than that of model group (P＜0.05);the IV quadrant swimming time of space exploration in the treatment group was significantly longer than that in the model group (P＜0.05).(4) Golgi staining showed that the complexity of the neuronal dendrites branch and the number of dendritic spines of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region of treatment group were increased than those in the model group;high-power oil microscopy indicated that the density of dendritic spines in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P＜0.05).Conclusion In-taking of high concentrations hydrogen gas during reperfusion can definitely protect neurons in hippocampal CA1 region after globe cerebral I/R injury,and improve learning and memory function,whose mechanism may be related to hydrogen protecting the structure and function of neurons and dendritic spines,and inhibiting oxidative stress to reduce oxidative damage.

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells,dominated by lactobacilli.Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age,as well as cervical,fecal,and salivary samples from a second cohort of 632 women.Factors such as pregnancy history,delivery history,cesarean section,and breastfeeding were all more important than menstrual cycle in shaping the microbiome,and such information would be necessary before trying to interpret differences between vagino-cervical micro-biome data.Greater proportion of Bifidobacterium breve was seen with older age at sexual debut.The relative abundance of lactobacilli especially Lactobacillus crispatus was negatively associated with pregnancy history.Potential markers for lack of menstrual regularity,heavy flow,dysmenor-rhea,and contraceptives were also identified.Lactobacilli were rare during breastfeeding or post-menopause.Other features such as mood fluctuations and facial speckles could potentially be predicted from the vagino-cervical microbiome.Gut and salivary microbiomes,plasma vitamins,metals,amino acids,and hormones showed associations with the vagino-cervical microbiome.Our results offer an unprecedented glimpse into the microbiota of the female reproductive tract and call for international collaborations to better understand its long-term health impact other than in the settings of infection or pre-term birth.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of serum perfluoroalkyl substances （PFASs） exposure and potential influencing factors among community residents in Songjiang District， Shanghai. MethodsIn August 2021， residents who underwent routine health checkups in a community in Songjiang District， Shanghai were recruited as study subjects. The inclusion criteria were adult residents who had lived in the area for more than 3 years， had no occupational exposure history， no underlying diseases， were not pregnant， and were able to complete the questionnaire independently and sign the informed consent form. A questionnaire survey was conducted and venous blood samples were collected. The concentrations of 15 PFASs in serum were determined using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS）. Ordered multi-class logistic regression， interquartile range （IQR）， and odds ratio （OR） were used to explore the influencing factors and risk magnitude of serum PFASs concentrations. ResultsOf the 15 PFASs， 14 were detected， and the detection rates of 7 PFASs were higher than 50%. The highest detected concentrations among the PFASs were PFOS （perfluorooctane sulfonate）， PFOA （perfluorooctanoic acid）， and PFHxS （perfluorohexane sulfonate）， with median concentrations of 48.61 μg∙L^-1， 37.29 μg∙L^-1， and 36.51 μg∙L^-1， respectively. The strongest correlation was between PFDA and PFUnDA （r=0.93， P<0.05）， followed by PFOS and PFDA （r=0.86， P<0.05）. Age， frequency of plastic product use， time spent indoors per day， personal annual income， tea consumption， and daily water intake were potential factors for exposure to PFASs. Among them， age was positively correlated with PFASs； tea consumption was positively correlated with PFNA and PFOA； PFHpA was negatively correlated with the frequency of plastic product use and personal annual income； and PFOS was negatively correlated with the time spent indoors per day. ConclusionThe exposure to serum PFASs among community residents in Songjiang District was relatively serious， and the main components were traditional PFOA， PFOS， and PFHx. Different sociodemographic characteristics had varying degrees of influence on the concentrations of PFASs in serum. The impact of PFASs exposure on the health of community residents deserves further investigation.
