Objective: To analyze the serotypes and drug resistance of Salmonella isolated from food-borne disease surveillance samples in Longwan District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of Salmonella infection. Methods: Salmonella strains isolated from feces or anal swabs of patients with foodborne diarrhea in Longwan District People's Hospital from 2018 to 2024 were collected. After re-identification, slide agglutination test was used to identify serotypes. The drug susceptibility test of live Salmonella strains was performed using the broth microdilution method, and the resistance patterns were analyzed. Results: A total of 2 293 samples were collected, and 186 strains of Salmonella were isolated, with a detection rate of 8.11%. The detection rate was higher from May to October. A total of 28 Salmonella serotypes were identified, with S. typhimurium (72 isolates, 38.71%), S. enteritidis (31 isolates, 16.67%), and S. London (30 isolates, 16.13%) being dominant. Among the 121 Salmonella live strains, 20 strains were susceptible to 14 antibacterial drugs. A total of 101 strains were resistant to antibacterial drugs, and the drug resistance rate was 1.65%-67.77%, with the drug resistance rate of ampicillin being the highest, and the drug resistance rate of imipenem was the lowest. S. typhimurium had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (78.26%). S. enteritidis had the highest resistance rate to ampicillin (100.00%). S. London had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (66.67%). Fifty-five types of drug resistance patterns were detected, showing a number of drug resistance of 1-10, of which 76 strains were multi-drug resistant, accounting for 75.25%. The predominant multidrug resistance patterns were ampicillin/sulbactam-cefazolin-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (10.53%), tetracycline-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (9.21%), and ampicillin/sulbactam-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (7.89%). Conclusions Salmonella strains isolated from foodborne diseases in Longwan District were mainly detected in summer and autumn. S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, and S. London were the predominant serotypes. The drug resistance of Salmonella to different antibacterial drugs was different, and the drug resistance spectrum showed diversity.

Age (HR=1.047, 95%CI: 1.007-1.088) and interval between each nodule discovery (HR=3.194, 95%CI: 1.052-9.694) are independent factors that affect the survival of patients with malignant IPN. Conclusion The imaging features of chest CT may provide important guidance for determining the nature and survival prognosis of benign and malignant nodules.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu Decoction in the treatment of patients with pulmonary nodules and qi-yin deficiency syndrome after early lung cancer surgery.Methods:Randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 76 patients with lung nodules and qi-yin deficiency syndrome after early lung cancer surgery at the Oncology Department of Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March to September 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 38 cases in each group. The control group received symptomatic treatment, while the treatment group took Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu Decoction from the first day after enrollment. Both groups were treated for 6 months and followed up for 2 years. TCM syndrome scores before and after treatment were evaluated; the patients' activity status was evaluated using the Eastern Oncology Collaborative Group Activity Status (ECOG PS) score in the United States, and electrochemiluminescence was used to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and neuron specific enolase (NSE). Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of T lymphocyte subsets CD3 +and CD4 +, and ELISA was used to detect TGF-β Horizontal. The patients' weight was recorded and their weight changes after treatment were observed. Adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded, the efficacy of TCM syndromes and pulmonary nodules was evaluated. Results:During the observation period, one case was lost to follow-up in the treatment group and three cases were lost to follow-up in the control group. Finally, 37 cases in the treatment group and 35 cases in the control group completed the observation. After the treatment, the panting (0.27±0.07 vs. 0.68±0.12, t=17.66), spontaneous sweating and night sweating (0.16±0.16 vs. 0.79±0.16, t=16.55) score of the treatment group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); insomnia (0.15±0.08 vs. 0.54±0.13, t=15.52) score of the control group was lower than that of the treatment group ( P<0.01). The effective rate of TCM syndrome in treatment group was 81.08% (30/37), higher than 54.29% (19/35) in control group ( Z=-2.00, P=0.040). After the treatment, the ECOG PS score stability rate in the treatment group was 89.19% (33/37), higher than 82.86% (29/35) in control group, without statistical significance ( χ2=0.19, P>0.05). The increase and stable rate of body weight was 88.10% (32/37) in treatment group and 62.86% (22/35) in control group ( χ2=5.36, P<0.05). After 2-year follow-up, the control rate of pulmonary nodules in the treatment group was 91.89% (34/37), while in the control group it was 65.71% (23/35). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=7.47, P<0.01). After the treatment, the level of NSE [(12.54±2.52)ng/L vs. (13.85±2.71)ng/L, t=-2.12], TGF-β [(218.38±102.63)ng/L vs. (301.24±193.69)ng/L, t=-2.29] in treatment group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05), and the level of CD3 +T cells [(70.60±7.90)% vs. (65.99±9.27)%, t=2.32] in treatment group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu Decoction can delay the development of pulmonary nodules in patients after early lung cancer surgery, increasing the body weight of patients, relieving the TCM syndromes and improve the immune function of patients, with the potential to prevent and treat the occurrence and development of early lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and clinicopathology of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog Bl(BRAF)V600E mutations in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)in Air Force flight personnel.Methods Data of cases and test results of BRAF V600E mutation were collected from Air Force aviators pathologically diagnosed with PTC.A univariate analysis of the relationship between BRAF V600E mutations and clinicopathologic features was performed.Results The overall rate of BRAF V600E mutations among 55 PTC flight crew members was 70.91％.The univariate analysis showed that the number of lymph node metastases in the BRAF V600E mutated group was larger than in the BRAF V600E unmutated group,and the proportion of BRAF V600E mutations in flight crews at intermediate risk of recurrence was higher than that in those at low risk of recurrence(P＜0.05).The presence or absence of BRAF V600E mutations did not affect the results of medical evaluation of PTC in flight personnel.Conclusion The rate of PTC BRAF V600E mutations in Air Force flight crews is similar to that of the general Chinese population.BRAF V600E mutations are associated with an increased number of lymph node metastases and risk of recurrence,and follow-up is recommended for flight personnel with PTC,especially those with BRAF V600E mutations.

Objective:To explore the consistency between modified 12+ X prostate biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound and postoperative Gleason score in prostate cancer patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 312 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent radical resection at Zhongshan People′s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. All patients underwent modified 12+ X prostate biopsy and prostate system biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound before surgery. Using the Gleason score of postoperative pathological specimens as the " gold standard", the detection rates of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer using modified 12+ X prostate biopsy and prostate system biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound were compared, and the consistency between the two methods alone or in combination and postoperative Gleason score was compared.Results:Among 312 patients, the positive detection rate of the improved 12+ X puncture biopsy combined with the system puncture biopsy was significantly higher than that of the individual detection (95.51% vs 80.77% vs 76.92%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The improved 12+ X puncture biopsy combined with system puncture biopsy showed a clinically significant higher detection rate of prostate cancer in positive patients compared to the two tests alone (94.63% vs 77.78% vs 80.00%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer among patients who missed diagnosis, either alone or in combination with biopsy ( P>0.05). The upgrade rate of Gleason score after prostate improvement 12+ X puncture biopsy (25.00%) was significantly lower than that of prostate system puncture (44.17%), which was significantly higher than combined puncture biopsy (11.74%), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). After 312 patients received combined puncture biopsy, urinary retention was found in 14 cases (4.49%), hematuria in 30 cases (9.62%), fever in 28 cases (8.97%), and blood in stool in 18 cases (5.77%). After symptomatic treatment, they basically improved within 3 days after puncture. Conclusions:The combination of modified 12+ X prostate biopsy with systematic biopsy under transrectal interventional ultrasound can improve the detection rate of prostate cancer, and has good consistency with the postoperative Gleason score of prostate cancer patients, which has good clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the effect of on-demand glucocorticoid strategy on the occurrence and outcome of porcine anti-lymphocyte globulin (p-ALG) -associated serum sickness in aplastic anemia (AA) .Methods:The data of AA patients who received in the Anemia Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Haematology Hospital, CAMS & PUMC from January 2019 to January 2022 were collected. Among them, 35 patients were enrolled in the on-demand group, with the glucocorticoid strategy adjusted based on the occurrence and severity of serum sickness; 105 patients were recruited in the usual group by matching the age and disease diagnosis according to 1∶3 ratio in patients who received a conventional glucocorticoid strategy in the same period. The incidences, clinical manifestations, treatment outcomes of serum sickness, and glucocorticoid dosage between the two groups were analyzed.Results:The incidences of serum sickness in the on-demand group and the usual group were 65.7% and 54.3% ( P=0.237) , respectively. The median onset of serum sickness was the same [12 (9, 13) d vs the 12 (10, 13) d, P=0.552], and clinical symptoms and signs, primarily joint, and/or muscle pain, fever, and rash were similar. Severity grades were both dominated by Grades 1-2 (62.8% vs 51.4%) , with only a few Grade 3 (2.9% vs 2.9%) , and no Grades 4-5. No significant difference in the serum sickness distribution ( P=0.530) . The median duration of serum sickness was the same [5 (3, 7) d vs 5 (3, 6) d, P=0.529], and all patients were completely cured after glucocorticoid therapy. In patients without serum sickness, the average dosage of prophylactic glucocorticoid per patient in the usual group was (469.48 ±193.57) mg (0 in the on-demand group) . When compared to the usual group, the average therapeutic glucocorticoid dosage per patient in the on-demand group was significantly lower [ (125.91±77.70) mg vs (653.90±285.56) mg, P<0.001]. Conclusions:In comparison to the usual glucocorticoid strategy, the on-demand treatment strategy could significantly reduce glucocorticoid dosage without increasing the incidence of serum sickness; in addition, the duration of serum sickness and the incidence of above Grade 2-serum sickness were similar.

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic value of cell-free plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) pathogen identification for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) bloodstream infection.Methods:From February 2021 to February 2022, mNGS and conventional detection methods (blood culture, etc.) were used to detect 33 samples from 29 consecutive AA patients admitted to the Anemia Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to assess the diagnostic consistency of mNGS and conventional detection, as well as the impact on clinical treatment benefits and clinical accuracy.Results:①Among the 33 samples evaluated by mNGS and conventional detection methods, 25 cases (75.76%) carried potential pathogenic microorganisms. A total of 72 pathogenic microorganisms were identified from all cases, of which 65 (90.28%) were detected only by mNGS. ②All 33 cases were evaluated for diagnostic consistency, of which 2 cases (6.06%) were Composite, 18 cases (54.55%) were mNGS only, 2 cases (6.06%) were Conventional method only, 1 case (3.03%) was both common compliances (mNGS/Conventional testing) , and 10 cases (30.3%) were completely non-conforming (None) . ③All 33 cases were evaluated for clinical treatment benefit. Among them, 8 cases (24.24%) received Initiation of targeted treatment, 1 case (3.03%) received Treatment de-escalation, 13 cases (39.39%) received Confirmation, and the remaining 11 cases (33.33%) received No clinical benefit. ④ The sensitivity of 80.77%, specificity of 70.00%, positive predictive value of 63.64%, negative predictive value of 84.85%, positive likelihood ratio of 2.692, and negative likelihood ratio of 0.275 distinguished mNGS from conventional detection methods (21/12 vs 5/28, P<0.001) . Conclusion:mNGS can not only contribute to accurately diagnosing bloodstream infection in patients with aplastic anemia, but can also help to guide accurate anti-infection treatment, and the clinical accuracy is high.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical characteristics, imaging features, clinical outcome and prognosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPN) in patients with osteosarcoma.Methods:A total of 69 patients of osteosarcoma with IPN in lung treated in the Bone tumor Center of Eastern Theater General Hospital from January 2011 to January 2021 were collected retrospectively, there were 47 males and 22 females, with a median age of 19 years old (range 7-60 years old). The clinical characteristics including disease-free interval, the chemotherapy response, with recurrence/non-pulmonary, IPN presence before / during / after chemotherapy and imaging features of IPN including number of IPN, location of IPN, density of IPN, boundary clarity of IPN and outcome. The patients were divided into the metastasis pulmonary nodules group and the benign nodules group according to the final outcome of IPN. Further, χ 2 test was performed for comparison of the clinical and imaging characteristics between the two groups. The survival of patients was counted and the correlation between single factor and survival was compared by Kaplan-Meier test, and multivariate survival analyses were performed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results:Sixty-nine cases occurred IPN in 211 patients with osteosarcoma, with an incidence of 32.7%. Of the 69 patients, 45 patients (65.2%) with IPN were diagnosed as metastases, and 24 patients (34.8%) with IPN were diagnosed as benign nodules. Follow-up length ranged from 1 to 124 months, with the median follow up time 43 months. To the end of follow-up, 41 patients (59.4%) remained alive and 28 patients (40.6%) had died. The median survival time was 41.0 (20.0, 65.0) months and the median survival time after diagnosis of IPN was 25.0 (10.0, 43.0) months. There were significant differences in lung nodule density ( P<0.001), boundary ( P=0.002), history of recurrence/extra-pulmonary metastasis ( P=0.023) and chemotherapeutic effect ( P<0.001) between the metastasis pulmonary nodules group and the benign nodules group. Multivariate survival analysis showed that chemotherapeutic effect was an independent factor affecting the overall survival of patients [ HR=0.048, 95% CI (0.01, 0.26)]. Boundary definition [ HR=0.12, 95% CI (0.02, 0.93)] and chemotherapeutic effect [ HR=0.06, 95% CI (0.01, 0.29)] were independent factors influencing survival after diagnosis of IPN. Conclusion:Osteosarcoma patients with IPN have a poor prognosis. The poor effect of chemotherapy is an independent risk factor for the overall survival time of those patients and the survival time after diagnosis of IPN. The boundary definition of IPN is an independent risk factor for the survival time after diagnosis of IPN.

Objective:To analyze the value of peritumoral vascular invasion (PVI) on the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.Methods:A total of 232 patients with primary osteosarcoma from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 142 males and 90 females. The average age was 17.9±8.2 years (range, 3-39 years). There were 22 positive and 210 negative cases of PVI, 94 deaths and 138 survivals. Univariate survival analysis (Log-rank test and univariate Cox regression) was used to evaluate the effects of age, gender, PVI status, tumor location, surgical method, sensitivity to chemotherapy, and chemotherapy regimen on the prognosis of osteosarcoma. The indicators with statistically significant differences were included in the multivariate Cox regression model to finally determine the risk factors affecting the prognosis of osteosarcoma. The relationship between PVI status and 5-year survival and the incidence of recurrence or metastasis was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:All patients were followed up for 7.6±4.5 years (range, 0.1-15 years). The differences in sensitivity to chemotherapy (χ 2=9.52, P=0.002), choice of chemotherapy regimen (χ 2=8.87, P=0.012), choice of surgical modality (χ 2=13.50, P<0.001), tumor metastasis rate (χ 2=8.51, P=0.004) and mortality rate (χ 2=5.39, P= 0.020) of PVI positive group and PVI negative group had statistically significant differences. Univariate survival analysis was performed on 232 patients with osteosarcoma (gender, age, PVI status, site of tumor development, surgical modality, sensitivity to chemotherapy, and chemotherapy regimen). Indicators with statistically significant differences were included in a multifactorial Cox regression model. The results showed PVI positive [5-year survival rate: HR=2.02, 95% CI (1.61, 2.79), P=0.010; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=2.25, 95% CI (1.55, 3.14), P<0.001], surgical procedure as amputation [5-year survival rate: HR=1.22, 95% CI (0.94, 1.78), P=0.037; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=1.58, 95% CI (1.11, 2.23), P=0.026] and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy [5-year survival rate: HR=2.71, 95% CI (1.84, 3.98), P=0.001; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=2.52, 95% CI (1.88, 3.45), P<0.001] was associated with poor prognosis. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the 5-year survival rate of PVI positive group was 34%, which was lower than 68% of PVI negative group. The 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate was 72% in the PVI negative group, which was significantly higher than 38% in the PVI negative group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of PVI positive group was lower than that of PVI negative group, and the 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate was higher than that of PVI negative group. The presence of microvascular angiosarcoma plugs infiltrating the peritumoral tissue in surgical specimens of osteosarcoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a useful indicator to assess the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.
