Objective:To evaluate the identification rate of separating gel or HB&L pretreatment methods of MALDI-TOF-MS, thereby to provide a new idea for the rapid and accurate identification of pathogens of bloodstream infections in daily clinic practice.Methods:A total of 149 alarmed positive blood culture samples of single bacterial infection by routine laboratory methods were collected between January to December 2020 from the Sixth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital. Samples were pretreated with the separation gel accelerating tube method or the HB&L microbial culture system, followed by direct MALDI-TOF MS bacterial identification, the identification rates of the two pretreatment methods were compared and results from the traditional method were used as the standard control.Results:Among the 149 positive blood culture samples, 47.0% (70/149) were gram-negative (G -) bacteria and 53.0% (79/149) were gram-positive (G +) bacteria. Identification rate of G -strain level was 78.6% (55/70) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 91.4% (64/70) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Identification rate of G +strain levels was 73.4% (58/79) by serum separation gel coagulation tube method and 87.3% (69/79) by HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). For G -bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 22.9% (16/70) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 38.6% (27/70) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.044). For G +bacteria in the range of 3.000-2.300, the identification rate was 19.0% (15/79) by serum separation gel accelerating tube method and 34.2% (27/79) by the HB&L microbial culture system, the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.031). Conclusion:The identification rate of HB&L microbial culture system is higher than that of serum separation gel coagulation tube method. Direct MALDI-TOF MS identification of pathogenic bacteria in positive blood culture samples after pretreatment is feasible in daily clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the application value of one-stitch prophylactic ileostomy in late ileostomy closure.Methods:The prospective randomized control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 141 patients with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior resection combined with prophylactic ileostomy in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to July 2020 were selected. There were 127 patients being selected after excluding 14 cases who did not undergo ileostomy closure. Patients undergoing one-stitch prophylactic ileostomy were divided into observation group, and patients undergoing traditional ileostomy were divided into control group. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) surgical situations of ileostomy closure; (3) postoperative situations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview once a month after low anterior resection combined with prophylactic ileostomy to detect complication and death of patients. The end point was at 3 months after ileostomy closure. The follow-up was up to July 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( P25, P75) or M (range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients: a total of 127 patients were selected for eligibility, aged from 31 to 83 years, with a median age of 64 years. Of 127 patients, there were 66 cases in observation group and 61 cases in control group. (2) Surgical situations of ileostomy closure: all patients from the two groups underwent ileostomy closure successfully. The incision length, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, cases with abdominal adhesion degree as slight adhesion or obvious adhesion were 4.25 cm(4.00 cm, 5.00 cm), 48.00 minutes(33.75 minutes, 58.00 minutes), 30 mL(20 mL, 50 mL), 34, 32 of the observation group, versus 7.50 cm(7.00 cm, 8.50 cm), 70.00 minutes(57.00 minutes, 80.00 minutes), 30 mL(30 mL, 50 mL), 13, 48 of the control group, showing significant differences between the two groups ( Z=-9.549, -6.133, -2.758, χ2=12.405, P<0.05). (3) Postoperative situations: cases with incision infection of the observation group and the control group were 5 and 13, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.917, P<0.05). (4) Follow-up: all the 127 patients were followed up for 6-21 months, with a median follow-up time of 10 months. During the follow-up, 3 cases of the control group had postoperative incisional hernia and were cured after conservative treatment. None of patient had anastomotic leakage related complications or died during the follow-up. Conclusion:The one-stitch preventive ileostomy has the advantage of ileostomy closure, which can reduce the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss and shorten the incision length effectively, so as to reduce the incidence of postoperative incision infection related complications.

Objective:To investigate whether adjuvant chemotherapy could be beneficial for patients with pT1N1M0 (stage ⅠB) gastric cancer.Methods:From Jan 2010 to Dec 2016, 185 patients with pT1N1M0 gastric cancer who were surgically resected at Henan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into chemotherapy group ( n=100) and non chemotherapy group ( n=85). Results:For disease-free survival (DFS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that age, examined lymph nodes, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DFS (all P<0.05); multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.160-0.827, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=4.117, 95% CI: 1.796-9.436, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.530, 95% CI: 1.932-10.622, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for DFS. For disease-specific survival (DSS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that lymph node resection, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DSS; multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.344, 95% CI: 0.144-0.822, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=5.113, 95% CI: 2.029-12.887, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.694, 95% CI: 1.854-11.888, P=0.001)were independent risk factors for DSS. According to examined lymph nodes and vascular invasion , pT1N1M0 patients were divided into three risk categories (high, medium and low). DFS and DSS were significantly different among the three risk groups (all P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion:pT1N1M0 gastric cancer patients are expected to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with less than 16 lymph nodes and vascular invasion may be particularly suitable for adjuvant chemotherapy.

The S1 protein of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a major structural protein that induces the production of the virus-neutralization antibodies. The monoclonal antibody against the IBV M41 S1 protein was used as a target for biopanning. After three rounds of biopanning, randomly selected phages bound to the monoclonal antibody. Sequence analysis showed that the dominant sequence was SFYDFEMQGFFI. Indirect competitive enzymelinked immunosorbent assay showed that SFYDFEMQGFFI is a mimotope of the S1 protein that was predicted by PepSurf. The mimotope may provide information for further structural and functional analyses of the S1 protein.
