Objective:To investigate the clinical features, therapeutic method, and prognostic factor of fibrosarcomatous dermato-fibrosarcoma protuberans (FS-DFSP). Methods: Data of 18 FS-DFSP cases treated in the Department of General Surgery, Tianjin Huanghe Hospital between June 2004 and June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Research indexes included age, sex, pathogenic site, number of previous unplanned surgeries, tumor size, depth, incisal margin of the last surgical procedure, chemotherapy, relapse and metastasis, and survival time. Univariate and multivariate analyses of the research indicators were conducted in these cases. Results:All 18 patients underwent surgery, and the incisal margins were R0 in 17 cases and R1 in 1 case, with local recurrence in 2 of the 18 cas-es. The patient with R1 incisal margin underwent postoperative radiotherapy. Among all the patients, 12 with tumor base depth and/or largest tumor diameter of>5 cm accepted the chemotherapy of mesna, adriamycin, ifosfamide, and dacarbazine, also known as MAID regimen, after surgery. No progression of disease occurred during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, pulmonary metastasis occurred in 3 of the 12 cases, and pulmonary metastasis with local recurrence existed in 1 case. Two of the 3 patients with pulmonary metastasis were treated with imatinib mesylate, and the therapeutic effect stabilized the disease. Two-year survival rate was 93%, and 5-year sur-vival rate was 79%in total patients. The results of mono-factorial analysis indicated that clinical factors, such as age, sex, pathogenic site, tumor size, depth, recurrence, incisal margin of surgical operation, and chemotherapy, were unrelated to the overall survival (OS) time. The number of previous unplanned surgeries and metastasis are related to OS. The results of multiple factor analysis showed that none of the clinical factors were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusion:A thorough removal of tumor can reduce the recur-rence rate, which is the key point in FS-DFSP treatment. Recurrence and metastasis of tumor are significant factors affecting prognosis.

Objective:To observe the effect of warm needling plus oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets on blood lipids in cerebral infarction patients. Methods:A total of 125 eligible cases were randomly allocated into group A (n=42), group B (n=40) and group C (n=43). Cases in group A received warm needling plus oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets, cases in group B received warm needling, whereas cases in group C received oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets. Results:After treatment, the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) all dropped obviously in the three groups, with significant differences (allP<0.05), modified Barthel index (BI) scores all significantly rise (allP<0.05), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) remained unchanged (allP>0.05). After treatment, the changes of TC, TG and LDL-C in group A were significantly different from those in group B and group C (allP<0.05), while the changes showed no statistical significance between group B and group C (P>0.05). There were no between-group differences in HDL-C among the three groups (allP>0.05); the modified BI scores in groupA and groupB were significantly higher than that in group C (bothP<0.05), while there was no significant difference between group A and group B (P>0.05).After treatment, the total effective rate was significantly higher in group A than that in group B and group C (bothP<0.05), there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05). Conclusion:Warm needling and oral administration of rosuvastatin calcium tablets both can adjust blood lipids effectively in cerebral infarction patients with a similar therapeutic efficacy, while the effect gets better based upon combining both methods; acupuncture-moxibustion plays an important role in the recovery of nerve functions in cerebral infarction patients.

In order to study the biological characteristics and whole-genome sequence of Streptococ-cus equi,a sheep-derived Streptococcus equi preserved in our laboratory was subjected to recovery,biochemical experiments,drug susceptibility tests and animal experiments,and followed by whole genome sequencing and annotation of the gene functions of the genome by using the biogenetic da-tabase.The biochemical identification results showed that this strain could ferment sugars,but the results of nitrate,catalase,V-P test,and M-R test were negative;the drug susceptibility test results showed that this strain was highly sensitive to most antibiotics and was resistant to kanaphylaxis.It was resistant to amikacin and amikacin;animal experiments showed that the lethality rate of this strain to mice was 100％,and the median lethal dose of this strain was measured to be 4.86X 106 CFU/kg.According to the pathological section results of mice,it showed that the lungs,liver,kidneys,and spleen all had varying degrees of lesions.The whole genome sequencing results showed that the total genome length of this strain is 2 272 497 bp,the G+C content was 41.1％,and it was predicted to contain 2 124 CDS regions.The RNA prediction results showed that the number of rRNA and tRNA was 15,and the number of tRNA was 57.There were four prophages and gene islands,and there were 362 pathogenicity-related genes in the VFDB database without CRISPR sequences.This study analyzed the complete genome of Streptococcus equi derived from sheep,and also provided a theoretical basis for the treatment,prevention and control of the disease.
