Objective To investigate the influence of murine cytomegalovirus on the expansion of CD+CD25+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) and the activation of CD4+ CD25+Foxp3 - effector T cell (TE) in vivo. Methods Forty-two BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally inoculated with appropriate amount ofMCMV Smith strain for establishing the model of infection, another 42 mice served as mocked-infected con-trois. Day 28 post MCMV infection was determined to be the demarcation point of the acute and chronic in- fection based on the viral load of major visceral organs. On day 1,3, 7, 14, 28, 45 and 60 post infection, splenocytes were prepared by means of routine method. The proportions of CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+Treg and CD4+CD25+Foxp3- activated TE in T lymphocyte were measured by flow cytometry. Results The propor- tion of CD+CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells in T lymphocytes was persistently suppressed since day 7 post infection, and fell to the lowest level on day 28 post infection (P <0.01), then zoomed and reached the peak value on day 60 post infection (P < 0.05). CD4+CD25+ Foxp3 - TE proportion was up to the highest on day 3 post infection(P < 0. 01), then suppressed and in significantly lower level since day 45 post infection (P < 0.05). Treg/CD+TE ratio was in lower level on day 3 to 14 post infection(P <0.05) ; but on day 45 and day 60 post infection Treg/CD+ TE ratio was markedly increased (P < 0.05). Conclusion MCMV infec- tion can increase the CD+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg proportion, and inhibit CD4+T cells activation in chronic in- fection phase, which is likely to suppress the function of antiviral immunity in the infected host to cause a persistent latent infection.

Objective To measure the volumetric changes precisely during stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for early-stage and oligo-metastatic lung tumors and optimize the treatment plan timely.Methods From October 2011 to October 2014, 66 patients with 71 early-stage or oligo-metastatic lung tumors received SABR.Median age was 66 years.To measure the volume of tumors, the verification images were registered before each treatment fraction with stimulation images by reference to bone structure.Tumors volume was measured by the first verification images, and were defined as the reference when evaluating the trend of tumors volume change during SABR treatment.Generalized estimated equations were used to analyze the trend of the change of tumors volume over time with several possible predictors.The primary plan (P-plan) was modified when the biological effective dose (BED) of a tumor reached 60 Gy and volume change reached 25%.The modified plan was named as M-plan.Paired t-test was used to compare the dose of organs at risk (OAR) between M-plan and P-plan.Results In 71 tumors, 49 (69%) tumors showed volumetric shrinkage, 21 (30%) tumors showed enlargement and 1 tumor showed invariance.Generalized estimated equation showed no statistical significance (P =0.281) for the volumetric shrinkage of lung tumors.M-plan was made in 26 tumors.Of these tumors, 21 tumors decreased over 25 % and the result of paired t-test showed V5 of lung, Dmax and D1.2 cm3 of spinal cord, Dmax and D5 cm3 of esophagus and D30 cm3 of chest wall were statistically different between two plans(t =3.139 ~11.939 ,P<0.05).5 tumors enlarged over 25% and the result of paired t-test showed V5 and V20 of lung,Dmax and D1.2cm3 of spinal cord, Dmax of esophagus and D30cm3 of chest wall were statistically different between the two plans(t =-10.436--2.518, P < 0.05).Conclusions Size of lung tumors changed dynamically during SABR, but it is unnecessary to modify treatment plans for all tumors.The tumors which showed obvious volumetric change may benefit from modifying treatment plans.

Objective:To analyze the invasion characteristics and prognostic factors of patients with Masaoka-Koga stage Ⅲ thymoma.Methods:The tumor invasion characteristics of 179 patients who were diagnosed with Masaoka-Koga stage Ⅲ thymoma and treated in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2000 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the treatment methods, all patients were divided into the radical operation group ( n=94), palliative operation group ( n=39) and simple biopsy group ( n=46). The χ2 test was used to compare the classified variables, Kaplan- Meier method was utilized to calculate the cumulative survival rate, log-rank method was used for group comparison and univariate analysis, and Cox’s regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:Mediastinal pleural invasion (86.0%) was the most common site, followed by pericardium (50.8%), great vessel (40.8%) and lung (36.3%). The proportion of macrovascular invasion in the radical operation group was 14.9%, significantly lower than 79.5% and 60.9% in the palliative surgery group and biopsy group (both P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the nature of operation ( P<0.001), age ( P=0.011), radiotherapy ( P=0.020) were the independent factors affecting overall survival (OS), while nature of operation ( P<0.001), age ( P=0.004), radiotherapy ( P=0.020), number of invasive organs ( P=0.023) and pathological type ( P=0.016) were the independent factors affecting progress-free survival (PFS). Conclusions:For patients with Masaoka-Koga stage Ⅲ thymoma, mediastinal pleura is the most common site of invasion, pericardium, lung and great vessels are also commonly invaded. The invasion of mediastinal pleura, pericardium and lung exerts slight effect on surgical resectability, whereas great vessel involvement can significantly affect surgical resectability. OS and PFS in patients undergoing radical resection are significantly better than those in patients treated with palliative resection and biopsy. Radical resection is the most important factor affecting prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate high resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) in peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for pediatric achalasia of cardia (AC).Methods:Data of 30 AC children who received POEM in Xi′an Children′s Hospital from January 2013 to September 2019 were reviewed. HREM was performed before and 6 months after POEM. Preoperative and postoperative lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP), 4-second integrated relaxation pressure (4sIRP), Eckardt scores and nutritional status were compared.Results:Children with AC aged between 4-14 years. Postoperative LESP was 5.50±1.13 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), which was significantly lower than that before operation (26.23±4.47 mmHg) with significant difference ( t=-24.623, P<0.001). Postoperative median 4sIRP was 5 mmHg, which was 20 mmHg lower than that before operation (25 mmHg) with significant difference ( Z=-4.786, P<0.001). Postoperative median Eckardt symptom score decreased significantly compared with that before (1 VS 8, Z=-4.796, P<0.001). Severe malnutrition of the AC children improved evidently to normal( Z=-5.166, P<0.001). Conclusion:POEM can significantly improve the characteristics of esophageal dynamics in children with AC, and HREM can be an important indicator for follow-up evaluation of POEM.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with pulmonary oligometastases.Methods:Clinical data of patients with pulmonary metastases treated with SABR from 2011 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The local control rate (LCR) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by Kaplan- Meier method. log-rank test was used for univariate analysis and Cox’s regression model for multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 214 lung metastases were detected in 159 patients, and the median follow-up time was 43 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year LCR were 90.1%, 73.9% and 65.8%, respectively. The 1-, 3-and 5-year OS were 73.8%, 43.6% and 11.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that biological effective dose (BED)≥100 Gy was significantly correlated with LCR ( P=0.033). Cox’s multivariate analysis showed that BED and primary tumor source were the independent prognostic factors of LCR ( P=0.023, P=0.043). No>grade 3 adverse events were observed in all patients during treatment. Conclusions:SABR is a safe and effective treatment of lung oligometastases. SABR should be actively aD ministered for pulmonary oligometastases, especially for those with lesions from lung cancer and the radiation dose should be selected as BED ≥100 Gy.

Objective:To explore the similarities and differences between children and adults with eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), and to guide the diagnosis and treatment of EGE.Methods:From February 2013 to August 2018 at Xi′ an Children′ s Hospital, 18 children with EGE (child group) and from June 2008 to June 2018 at Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases, Air Force Medical University, 24 adults with EGE (adult group) were retrospectively selected as study subjects. The general data, clinical symptoms, laboratory examinations, imaging, endoscopy manifestations, pathological biopsy, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of child group with allergic history was higher than that of adult group (9/18 vs. 20.8%, 5/24), the incidence of nausea and vomiting was higher than that of adult group (13/18 vs. 29.2%, 7/24), the incidence of diarrhea and weight loss were both lower than those of adult group (4/18 vs. 58.5%, 14/24; 3/18 vs. 54.2%, 13/24), and the proportion of patients with elevated peripheral blood eosinophil count was lower than that of adult group (4/18 vs. 58.3%, 14/24), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=3.938, 7.644, 5.477, 6.133 and 5.477, P=0.047, 0.006, 0.019, 0.013 and 0.029). The main endoscopic manifestations of the two groups were mucosal congestion and edema (13 cases of child group and 22 cases of adult group). Mucosal roughness (7 cases) and erosion (6 cases) were also common in child group, while mucosal erosion (18 cases, 75.0%) and ulcer (8 cases, 33.3%) were more common in adult group. There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of mucosal erosion between the two groups ( χ2=7.292, P=0.007). The positive rates of biopsy in the terminal ileum, colorectum and duodenum of child group and adult group were both high (6/6, 14/15, 9/18 and 8/10, 12/15, 6/8, respectively). The response time of glucocorticoid treatment was 4.5 d (2.0 to 27.0 d) and 3.7 d (1.0 to 14.0 d) in child group (8 cases) and adult group (13 cases), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate after glucocorticoid treatment between the two groups (5/8 vs. 6/13, P > 0.05). Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of children and adults with EGE are different, which may provide references for clinicians to understand, diagnose and treat EGE.

Dementia is a syndrome mainly characterized by acquired cognitive impairment, which is mainly manifested by the decrease of cognitive functions such as understanding, orientation, and visuospatial ability. Due to different intervention methods for different types of dementia, differential diagnosis is extremely important. Positron emission tomography (PET) can reflect the changes of brain function from multiple angles through different tracers, providing imaging basis for the differential diagnosis of dementia. This article reviews the characteristics of PET in patients with different types of dementia in order to provide ideas for the differential diagnosis of patients with different types of dementia.
