Objective The transgenic Atractylodes macrocephala resistance to Rhizoctonia solani was obtained by gene engineering. Methods On the base of the efficient regeneration system of Baizhu via shoot organogenesis, the rice chitinase gene (RCH10) and the alfalfa ?-1, 3-glucanase gene (AGLU) were tandem-inserted into the transformation vector pB101, which was transformed into A. macrocephala with gene gun. Transformants were confirmed by PCR, GUS assay, and disease resistant. Results Twenty-five independent transformants possessed desired genes were observed by PCR detection, and among them five transformants exhibiting resistance to Rhizoctonia solani. Conclusion The disease resistant variety has been obtained by transformation, which provides a shorten avenue for the direct introduction of novel traits into A. macrocephala through genetic engineering without the need for numerous back-crossing in breeding programs that slow down cultivar improvement, meanwhile it improves disease resistant gene pool.

Objective To investigate the application effect of fast track surgery ( FTS ) concept on perioperative nursing in elderly patients with colorectal cancer laparoscopic radical resection. Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with colorectal cancer were selected and averagely divided into experimental group and control group in random remainder grouping method. The conventional nursing was applied in the patients of control group, while the patients of experimental group were applied FTS concept. Postoperative flatus time, the cost of hospitalization, hospital stay and the incidence rate of complication in two groups were compared respectively. Results The incidences of postoperative abdominal distention and pulmonary infection in experimental group were less than that of control group (P<0.05), but without statistical difference in other complications between two groups ( P>0.05) . Flatus time, hospital length of stay and the cost of hospitalization in experimental group were significantly decreased than that in control group ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions The application effect of FTS concept for old patient with colorectal cancer laparoscopic radical resection is remarkably better than conventional nursing method.

Objective:To analyze the short-term clinical outcomes of total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) combined with Billroth-Ⅱ+Braun anastomosis.Methods:Clinical characteristics of patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy combined with Billroth-Ⅱ+Braun anastomosis at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from Jan 2020 to Oct 2022 were analyzed. Patients were divided into TLDG group ( n=62) and LADG group ( n=62) according to the surgical approach. Results:There were significant differences in the preoperative clinical data section between the two groups, and 124 patients (62 in each group) were enrolled after using propensity score matching to balance significant variables. Compared with the LADG group, the TLDG group showed statistically differences in time to first venting [(2.9±1.3) vs. (2.3±0.8) d, Z=-3.072, P=0.002], time to first fluid diet [(5.9±1.3) vs. (5.4±1.4) d, Z=-2.031, P=0.042] and incision length [(7.1±1.4) vs. (4.8±0.8) cm, Z=-6.331, P=0.000]. Total postoperative complication rate in the TLDG group and the LADG group (29% vs. 37%, χ2=0.911, P=0.340) was not statistically significant. Incidence of postoperative pneumonia was lower in the TLDG group than in the LADG group (3% vs. 13%, χ2=3.916, P=0.048), and incidence of all remaining postoperative complications were not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of serious postoperative complications between the TLDG and LADG groups ( P=1.000). Multifactorial analysis revealed that male ( P=0.023) and age ≥65 years ( P=0.001) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Conclusion:TLDG is safe and feasible and has better short-term clinical efficacy than LADG.

Objective:To explore the current needs for the personnel, service mode and service duration of continuous nursing services in patients with permanent colostomy and provide support for developing continuous nursing services.Methods:Totally 120 patients with permanent colostomy who were discharged after surgery and attended outpatient services in a ClassⅢ Grade A general hospital in Shandong province between January and December 2018 were selected by convenient sampling and investigated using a self-designed questionnaire for continuous nursing needs in patients with permanent colostomy.Results:The top 3 needs for continuing nursing services were telephone, outpatient service, and home follow-up. The top 3 needs for service personnel were interdisciplinary teams, doctors, and stoma therapists. The most demanding service duration after discharge was 3 to 6 months. The most demanding service time was from 18∶00 to 20∶00. In terms of service frequency, the telephone follow-up was once a week or once every two weeks; the home follow-up was once every 2 weeks; and the outpatient follow-up was once every 2 weeks or once a month.Conclusions:Clinical medical staff should explore more optimized continuous nursing service plans and promote the establishment of a high-quality and efficient continuous nursing service system based on the main needs of patients with permanent colostomy for continuous nursing services.

Objective To investigate the changes in distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails in forestlands in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality from 2009 to 2023, so as to provide insights into formulation of O. hupensis snail surveillance programs. Methods The reports on O. hupensis snail surveillance in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality from 2009 to 2023 were collected, and the snail surveillance data in forestlands were extracted. The trends in the proportion of areas with snails in forestlands in total areas with snails, occurrence of frames with living snails and density of living snails were evaluated using a Joinpoint regression model in Songjiang District from 2009 to 2023, and the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results A total of 40 sites with snails were found in forestlands in 14 administrative villages of 4 townships, Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality from 2009 to 2023. A total of 39 065 frames were surveyed for snails in settings covering an area of 609 600 m², and there were 6 084 frames with snails, covering 151 250 m² snail habitats. A total of 22 210 snails were captured, with the highest density of 260.00 snails/0.1 m², and 6 262 snails were dissected, with no Schistosoma japonicum infection identified in snails. The proportion of areas with snails in forestlands in total areas with snails appeared a tendency towards a rise in forestlands in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality from 2009 to 2023 (APC = AAPC = 24.9%, P > 0.05); however, there were no turning points in the trend curve, with the highest proportion seen in 2009 (53.81%), the lowest in 2011 and 2023 (both 0) and a mean proportion of 24.81%. The occurrence of frames with living snails appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2009 to 2023 (APC = AAPC = 41.5%, P > 0.05); however, there were no turning points in the trend curve, with the highest occurrence in 2009 (53.81%), the lowest in 2011 and 2013 (both 0), and the mean occurrence of 15.57%. In addition, the density of living snails appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2009 to 2023 (APC = AAPC = 55.0%, P > 0.05); however, there were no turning points in the trend curve, with the highest density in 2023 (0.96 snails/0.1 m²), the lowest in 2011 and 2013 (both 0), and a mean density of 0.57 snails/0.1 m². Conclusions The difficulty in O. hupensis snail control and risk of imported snails appeared a tendency towards a rise in forestlands in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality over years from 2009 to 2023. Supervision and assessment prior to seedling transplantation and intensified surveillance post-transplantation are recommended to reduce the risk of O. hupensis snail importation and spread.

ObjectiveTo analyze the monitoring results and trends of Oncomelania in Songjiang District of Shanghai from 2007 to 2023， and to provide reference for future monitoring work. MethodsThe data of snail monitoring in Songjiang District from 2007 to 2023 were collected， including the location of snail spots， the number of survey frames， the area with snails， the number of frames with snails， the total number of snails， etc. The density of living snails and the occurrence rate of living snail frames were calculated. ResultsFrom 2007 to 2023， a total of 158 snail spots were found in 22 administrative villages in 4 towns in Songjiang District， including 131 emerging snail habitats （82.91%） and 27 reemerging snail habitats （17.09%）. The total snail area was 175 980 m²， the number of snail frames was 10 061， and 33 302 snails were captured. The highest density was 260/0.11 m²， and 15 662 snails were dissected. No positive snails were found. The average density of living snails was 0.60/0.11 m² and the average occurrence rate of living snail frames was 17.99%. The snail areas in different areas were Yexie Town 126 000 m² （71.60%）， Maogang Town 26 470 m² （15.04%）， Xinbang Town 17 040 m² （9.68%）， and Shihudang Town 6 470 m² （3.68%）. The average density of living snails in different areas was 0.89/0.11 m² in Yexie Town， 0.65/0.11 m² in Maogang Town， 0.26/0.11 m² in Shihudang Town and 0.24/0.11 m² in Xinbang Town. The snail areas of different snail habitats were as follows： woodland 151 250 m²（85.95%）， river 13 810 m²（7.85%）， ditch 6 910 m²（3.93%）， farmland 4 010 m²（2.28%）. The average density of living snails in different snail habitats： ditch 1.01/0.11 m²， beach 0.86/0.11 m²， woodland 0.57/0.11 m²， river 0.40/0.11 m². The occurrence rate of living snail frames in different regions and different snail environment types showed a downward trend and the difference was statistically significant. ConclusionAlthough the snail monitoring indicators such as snail area， average living snail density and average living snail frame occurrence rate in Songjiang District are still at its historically low level， the average living snail density and average living snail frame occurrence rate are still high compared with other regions or the national average. We should focus on the upper reaches and tributaries of the Huangpu River， especially the key areas of seedling transplantation， and strengthen monitoring and supervision to reduce the risk of snail input.
