Objective To summarize the clinical diagnosis and treatment of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical manifestations,imagings, laboratory tests, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 18 consecutive cases finally established as NRH during the past 26 years. Results 15 of the 18 cases showed portal hypertension, 4 cases showed mono or multiple occupations of the liver, 8 cases suffered from concurrent autoimmune diseases, 3 cases were suspected of blood diseases. Preoperatively, 13 cases were diagnosed as cirrhosis, 2 cases were diagnosed as liver cancer or focal nodular hyperplasia ( FNH). All cases were diagnosed by operative wedging biopsy. 3 cases received splenectomy, 4 cases received disconnection /Phemister surgery, 3 cases received liver occupation/liver lobe resection, 1 case received partial small bowel resection, and 1 case received spleen artery restrictive surgery. Postoperatively, symptoms of portal hypertension relieved obviously. Follow-up study showed most of the patients were stable and prognosis of the NRH was good.Conclusions NRH may relate to the disturbance of liver blood supply, and most common clinical manifestation is portal hypertension, and can combine with immune diseases, hematopathy also can present single or multiple liver occupations. Differential diagnoses include liver cirrhosis, FNH, idiopathic portal hypertension. Diagnosis of NRH relies on liver wedging biopsy. Surgery can relive concurrent portal hypertension.

Objective To investigate the expression change of cytokines in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa in the patients with diarrhea post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS) and its relation with clinical symptoms scores.Methods Thirty outpatients and inpatients with diarrhea PI-IBS(observation group) and contemporaneous 30 individuals undergoing physical examination(control group) in the Hainan Provincial People's Hospital from January to December 2013 were selected.The peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) were separated and cultured.Then the levels of IFN-y and IL-10 in peripheral blood and cell culture supernatant fluid were detected by ELISA.The colonic mucosal tissue was taken by coloscopy.Then colonic mucosal IFN-γ and IL-10 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry staining.Furthermore,the correlationship between the level change of IFN-γ and IL-10 with clinical symptom score was analyzed by using the Spearman correlation method.Results Peripheral blod IL-10 and IFN-γ levels had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,in PBMC seperation and cuture,the IFN-γ level in the observation group was increased and IL-10 level was decreased,the difference was statistically signifieant(P＜0.01).The intestinal main symptom score in the observation group had the positive correlation with IFN-γ expression level of PBMC culture supernatant fluid and colonic mucosal IFN-γ expression level(r=0.45,0.94,P＜0.01),and had the negative correlation with IL-10 expression level(r=-0.52,-0.79,P＜0.01).Conclusion The unbalance of IFN-γ and IL-10 level could be involved in the pathogenesis of diarrhea PI-IBS,which can serve as the observation indicators of disease activity.

Objective:To investigate the activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in water in Hangzhou urban area. Methods:From 2012 to 2020, Qiantang River water as an important drinking water source, tap water as direct drinking water for residents, and West Lake water in tourists crowded area were selected forwater quality monitoring with respect to conctnts of 90Sr and 137Cs. The activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in water samples, as collected in wet and dry seasons resepectively, were determined by radiochemical analysis, with the 137Cs to 90Sr activity ratios obtained. Results:From 2012 to 2020, the activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in tap water were (2.0±1.1) - (7.4±0.4) mBq/L and (0.45±0.06) - (7.1±0.6) mBq/L, respectively. The 137Cs to 90Sr activity ratios ranged from 0.07 to 2.40. The activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in Qiantang River were (3.7±1.1) - (17.0±4.4) mBq/L and (0.28±0.01) - (15.0±4.5) mBq/L, respectively. The 137Cs to 90Sr activity ratios ranged from 0.03 to 0.90. The activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in West Lake water were (2.2±0.5) - (11.0±2.0) mBq/L and (0.32±0.04) - (7.9±1.9) mBq/L, respectively. The 137Cs to 90Sr activity ratios ranged from 0.05 to 1.20. Conclusions:The activity concentrations of 90Sr and 137Cs in water in Hangzhou urban area were at the background levels, lower than the concentration limits, 10 Bq/L both for 90Sr and 137Cs recommended by WHO in the 4 th edition of Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality.

Objective To summarize the clinical feature,gene mutations,diagnosis,treatment,and follow-up data of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia,so as to improve the clinical understanding of the disease.Methods Five patients were diagnosed with protein-sensitive hypoglycemia during June in 2015 and December in 2017 from the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases,Children's Hospital of Fudan University.Clinical data of 5 cases were summarized,including clinical manifestations,findings of protein sensitivity test,therapy effect and prognosis.The endocrine and metabolic panel was used to investigate the genetic cause of four patients.Related literatures of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia were reviewed,and the phenotypes,genotypes,and therapy effects were summarized.Results Among the 5 patients diagnosed with positive results of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia,three were found to harbor glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD 1) mutations (c.965G ＞ A,p.R322H:2 cases;c.943C ＞T,p.H315Y:1 case),and another one had complex heterozygous mutations in L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADH,c.29G ＞ C,p.R10P;c.89T＞ A,p.V30E).5 patients were euglycemia without any medical support after low protein diet.In 18 literatures retrieved and this study,there were totally 161 cases of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia (149 cases with GLUD1 mutations and 10 cases with HADH mutations).Conclusions When a child was admitted because of hypoglycemia,the diagnosis of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia should be suspected if he or she also had postprandial hypoglycemia,with or without hyperammonemia.Protein sensitivity test is helpful for us to make the diagnosis of protein-sensitive hypoglycemia.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the level of the gross radioactivity, and its variation trend, in surrounding drinking water since the second phase expansion project at Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant was officially put into operation.Methods:From 2010 to 2022, the source water, factory water and tap water within 30 km of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant were collected in the flood season (May) and dry period (October) every year. The total α and total β radioactivity concentrations in drinking water was measured and analyzed. The levels of total radioactivity in drinking water around different nuclear power plants in China and around non-nuclear power plant areas was compared.Results:The mean radioactivity concentrations of total α and total β were (0.021±0.019) and (0.204±0.058) Bq/L in source water, (0.010±0.005) and (0.185±0.056) Bq/L in factory water , and (0.012±0.007) and (0.170±0.058) Bq/L in tap water, respectively, all lower than the limits stipulated in the Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water. There were no significant differences in the monitoring result of betweem the three types of water samples both in the flood and dry periods ( P> 0.05). The total radioactivity level in drinking water around Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant site was close to that in drinking water around different nuclear power plants in China and around areas without nuclear power plants. Conclusions:Following the second phase of the expansion project officially being put into operation, the total α and β radioactivity level in drinking water around the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant has been in a stable trend and lower than the guidance level given in national standard.

Objective:Distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogen isolated from children with intra-abdominal infection (IAI) associated sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) were analyzed to provide a reference for the empirical anti-infective treatment of IAI in children.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 116 children with culture-positive IAI-associated sepsis admitted to Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2019 to December 2021. Clinical isolation and drug resistance analysis were conducted based on different years of onset, locations of onset, and primary diseases.Results:A total of 186 strains of pathogens causing children with IAI-associated sepsis in ICU were collected. The distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogen were as follows: the percentages of gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi were 53.2%, 40.9%, and 5.9%, respectively; the top four strains were Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis, accounting for 57.0% of all isolates; Enterococcus faecium(19.9%) and Enterococcus faecalis (10.2%) were the dominating gram-positive bacteria; Escherichia coli (13.4%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.4%) were more common gram-negative bacteria; Fungi were dominated by Candida albicans (3.8%).Fifty-seven strains of gram-positive bacteria were detected in 61 children with infectious diseases, mainly Enterococcus faecium (28 strains). There were 53 gram-negative strains, mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae (21 strains). Thirty-two strains of gram-positive bacteria were detected in 40 children with digestive tract malformation, and Enterococcus faecalis (six strains) were the most common. There were 14 gram-negative strains, mainly Escherichia coli (six strains). In 13 children with malignant tumors of digestive system, nine strains of gram-positive bacteria were cultured, and Enterococcus faecium (four strains) was the most common. There were eight gram-negative strains, mainly Escherichia coli (four strains).In the 46 community-acquired IAI patients,30 gram-positive isolates were cultured,mainly including Enterococcus faecium (12 strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis (seven strains), and Viridans streptococci (six strains); Forty gram-negative isolates mainly contained Escherichia coli (16 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14 strains), and Enterobacter cloacae (five strains). In the 70 hospital-associated IAI patients, 69 gram-positive isolates such as Enterococcus faecium (25 strains), Enterococcus faecalis (17 strains), Enterococcus gallinarum (eight strains), and Staphylococcus aureus (seven strains) were cultured;Tirty-six gram-negative isolates were dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae (11 strains), Escherichia coli (nine strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (four strains), and Acinetobacter baumannii (four strains). The mixed infection rate of clinical pathogens was up to 46.6%, and the overall resistance rate was 43.4%, in which gram-negative bacteria had high sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, imipenem, and tigecycline.The detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases were 36.0% and 24.6%, respectively, with 100% sensitivity to tigecycline. Gram-positive bacteria showed 100% sensitivity to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. Conclusion:Pathogen isolated from children with IAI-associated sepsis in ICU were dominated by Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis,respectively. Before confirmation of pathogenic bacteria, antibacterial agents can be selected according to the infection type. It is important to note that a single broad-spectrum antibacterial agent or combination medication can be considered the initial empirical choice due to the large variety of pathogens, high rates of mixed infections, and high overall resistance.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture at Neimadian (Extra) and Neiguan (PC 6) on the analgesic effect of thoracic perioperative stage and its effect mechanism.

METHODSSixty cases of esophageal cancer with elective radical resection under general anesthesia were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the operation sequence, 30 cases in each one. In the control group, the general anesthesia was simply applied and sufentanil was administered for patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after operation. In the observation group, on the basis of the scheme as the control group, the electroacupuncture was used at Neimadian (Extra) and Neiguan (PC 6) 30 min before anesthesia induction and after operation, with continuous wave, tolerable intensity, lasting for 30 min. Separately, before acupuncture (T1) and 2h (T2), 12h (T3), 24h (T4) and 48h (T5) after operation, the plasma β-endorphin (β-EP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and prostaglandin E(PGE) were determined. During operation, under the same state (from 50 to 60) of bispectrum of EEG (BIS), the intraoperative anesthetic dose was recorded. Using visual analogue scale (VAS), the pain degree was evaluated at T2, T3, T4 and T5 separately and the grade assessment of the therapeutic effects and safety were recorded at each time point.

RESULTS①The total dosage of sufentanil in the observation group was less than that in the control group[(1.83±0.56) mg vs (2.54±0.62) mg,<0.05]. ②VAS scores at T2, T3 and T4 in the patients of the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (all<0.05). ③The levels of plasma β-EP at T3, T4 and T5 in the observation group were increased significantly as compared with those in the control group (all<0.05) and the levels of plasma 5-HT and PGEat T2, T3 and T4 were reduced significantly as compared with those in the control group (all<0.05). ④ The excellent analgesia rates 2h、12h and 24h after operation in the observation group were better than those in the control group (all<0.05). ⑤The rate of the A grade safety in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSElectroacupuncture at Neimadian (Extra) and Neiguan (PC 6) provides the safe and effective postoperative anesthesia of thoracic surgery and reduces the dosage of analgesics during the operation, which is possibly related to the increase of endogenous β-EP and the inhibition on the release of 5-HT and PGE.
