Objective To investigate the clinical application of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube in the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction. Methods A total of 221 patients with simple adhesive small intestinal obstruction, who were admitted to authors’ hospital during the period from January 2010 to Aug. 2014, were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group (n=111) and nasogastric tube group (n=110). After the procedure, the patients were kept under close observation, focusing on the abdominal distention, gastrointestinal decompression amount, the recovery time of anal exhaustion and defecation, the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film, etc. The cure rate, effective rate and transit-operation rate were calculated. The results were compared between the two groups. Results The tube placement operation was successfully performed in all patients. Compared with the nasogastric tube group, in the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the recovery time of abdominal distention, anal exhaustion and defecation and the vanishing time of intestinal air-liquid plane on erect abdominal X-ray film were obviously shorter, and the gastrointestinal decompression amount was larger. In the nasal-insertion type ileus-tube group the cure rate and effective rate were significantly increased, while the transit-operation rate was decreased; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of adhesive small intestinal obstruction, the placement of nasal-insertion type ileus-tube is effective and reliable. This technique can strikingly improve the clinical symptoms, therefore, it is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.

Objective:To compare the dose distribution among CyberKnife, Tomotherapy, Edge, Triology and γ-knife in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 10 panreatic cancer patients receiving CyberKinife treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment plans were designed by five apparatuses from five centers according to the uniform requirement. All plans were transferred to MIM system for the extraction of parameters, which mainly included D min, D mean and D max of PTV, conformity index (CI), new conformity index (nCI), homogeneity index (HI), gradient index (GI), coverage, D max and dose-volume of the stomach and bowel. Results:The best CI and nCI were obtained in Triology ( P<0.001), and the worst HI was found in γ-knife ( P<0.001). The best GI was found in CyberKnife, followed by γ-knife and Tomotherapy, and Edge showed the worst GI ( P<0.001). The highest D min of PTV was found in both Edge and Triology, while lower D min of PTV was found in CyberKnife and Tomotherapy ( P<0.001). Additionally, γ-knife provided the highest D mean and D max of PTV ( P<0.001). Regarding the organs at risk, the lowest D max and D 5cm 3 of the bowel ( P<0.001), D max of the stomach ( P=0.003), D max( P=0.001), D 5cm 3 ( P<0.001) and D 10cm 3 ( P=0.005) of the duodenum, D max( P<0.001) and D 0.35cm 3 ( P<0.001) of the spinal cord were found in CyberKnife. The highest D max of the bowel was found in γ-knife. Furthermore, the highest D 5cm 3 of the duodenum was demonstrated in Edge ( P<0.001) and Tomotherapy provided the highest D max( P<0.001) and D 0.35cm 3 of the spinal cord ( P<0.001). Conclusions:All five radiotherapy apparatuses can meet the requirement of SBRT for pancreatic cancer. More rapid dose fall-off could be obtained via CyberKnife and γ-knife. Triology and Edge provide better target conformity. CyberKnife can better protect the gastrointestinal tract.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the laboratory phenotype and molecular pathogenesis in a Chinese pedigree affected with Hereditary coagulation factor Ⅻ (FⅫ) deficiency.
METHODS:
A male proband admitted to Ningbo No.2 Hospital on July 17, 2021 due to chronic gastritis and members of his pedigree (7 individuals from three generations) were selected as the study subjects. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), FⅧ activity (FⅧ: C), FⅨ activity (FⅨ: C), FⅪ activity (FⅪ: C), FⅫ activity (FⅫ: C), and FⅫ antigen (FⅫ: Ag) were determined. All of the exons, exon-intronic boundaries, as well as the 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions of the F12 gene were subjected to Sanger sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by cloning sequencing. The effect of candidate variants on the protein function was analyzed by bioinformatics software.
RESULTS:
The proband, a 47-year-old male, had significantly prolonged APTT (180.0 s) and decreased FⅫ:C and FⅫ:Ag levels (< 1%). His father, mother, brother and two sons also showed certain degrees of reduction. Genetic testing revealed that the proband has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the F12 gene, namely c.1092_1093insC (p.Lys365Glnfs*69) in exon 10 and c.1792_1796delGTCTA (p.Val579Hisfs*32) in exon 14. His mother and elder son were heterozygous for the c.1092_1093ins variant, whilst his father, brother, and younger son were heterozygous for the c.1792_1796delGTCTA variant. Analysis of the promoter region of exon 1 also showed that the proband and both sons had harbored a 46T/T polymorphism, whilst other family members were 46C/T. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that the p.Val579 is a highly conserved site. Protein model analysis showed that, with the p.Val579Hisfs*32 variant, a benzene ring was added and the hydrogen bond of surrounding amino acids was changed. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the c.1792_1796delGTCTA was classified as a pathogenic variant (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PM4).
CONCLUSION
The c.1092_1093insC (p.Lys365Glnfs*69) and c.1792_1796delGTCTA (p.Val579Hisfs*32) compound heterozygous variants of the F12 gene probably underlay the decreased FXII levels in this pedigree. Above finding has also enriched the mutational spectrum for FⅫ deficiency.
