OBJECTIVE To evaluate the status of microbial contamination in the environment of respiratory tract specimens sampling rooms and observe the association of the factors such as design and layouts of the sampling rooms with the potential risk of infections in the environment so as to provide scientific bases for optimizing the construction standards of fever clinics of the medical institutions.METHODS The sampling rooms of fever clinic were chosen from 10 tertiary or above medical institutions of Hangzhou,and the samples were collected from the key sites such as air,object surfaces and hands of health care workers.The respiratory tract pathogens in the sam-ples were detected by FilmArray full-automatic medical PCR analysis system,and the pathogens in the samples were detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS).The data including the areas,windows,mechanical ventilation facilities,physical partitions,frequencies and modes of disinfection and daily amounts of diagnosis and treatment of the 10 sampling rooms were investigated,and the univariate analysis was performed for their association with the microbial contamination of environment.RESULTS The isolation rate of respiratory tract pathogens was 10.00％(4/40),respiratory syn-cytial virus,human rhinovirus and adenovirus were dominant among the respiratory tract pathogens.The isolation rate of bacteria was 71.88％(23/32),Staphylococcus ho minis and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the major species of opportunistic pathogens isolated.The result of univariate analysis indicated that both the presence of windows(P=0.012)and mechanical ventilation facilities(P=0.047)were associated with the potential risk of infections in the environment(P＜0.05);while the factors such as the areas of sampling rooms,physical parti-tions,disinfection modes and daily amounts of diagnosis and treatment were not remarkably associated with the potential risk of infections in the environment.CONCLUSION It is an effective way to physically separate the air-flow from other areas or fix the mechanical ventilation facilities to create proper airflow during the construction of fever clinic sampling rooms so as to reduce the potential risk of infections in the environment of sampling rooms.

Background and Aims:Complete situs inversus(SIT)is a rare congenital abnormality of organ mirror-image arrangement,presenting certain challenges for abdominal surgical procedures.The Da Vinci robotic system,with its high-definition 3D vision and flexible operation,holds potential for application in patients with anatomical variations.This report presents the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with rectal mass and SIT who underwent robotic-assisted surgery.Additionally,relevant literature is reviewed to provide insights for individualized surgical strategies in patients with complex anatomical variations and to promote the further clinical application of robotic-assisted surgery systems.Methods:A case from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University is reported,in which a patient with rectal mass and SIT successfully underwent lesion resection using the Da Vinci robotic system with an unconventional"five-port"technique.A systematic literature review was also conducted(including 35 case reports),to summarize the surgical characteristics of colorectal procedures in SIT patients and the advantages of robotic system application.Results:The patient was a 74-year-old male who presented with rectal bleeding.Imaging confirmed the diagnosis of SIT,and colonoscopy revealed a large polypoid mass with ulceration at the apex,located 13-18 cm from the anal verge.The patient subsequently underwent Da Vinci robotic-assisted resection of the rectal lesion.The robotic system effectively overcame the challenges posed by mirror-image anatomy,enabling complete excision of the lesion.The operation lasted 183 minutes,with intraoperative blood loss of less than 20 mL.Postoperative pathology confirmed a villous tubular adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia.The patient had an uneventful recovery,and no recurrence was observed during the 9-month follow-up.Literature analysis demonstrated that the robotic system,through magnified 3D visualization,flexible instrument articulation,and tremor filtration,significantly improves surgical precision in patients with anatomical anomalies.Conclusion:The Da Vinci robotic system effectively addresses the challenges of anatomical variations related to SIT in low rectal surgery.Its stability and precision offer a new technical option for tumor resection under complex anatomical conditions,demonstrating clinical value for widespread application.

Objective To explore imaging characteristics of myxofibrosarcoma(MFS)and their correlations with prognosis.Methods Totally 32 patients with pathologically confirmed MFS were retrospectively enrolled and divided into poor prognosis(recurrence/metastasis)group(n=13)and good prognosis group(n=19).Preoperative imaging characteristics of lesions were analyzed and compared between groups,including the location,shape,size,margins,density/signal features of lesions,adjacent bone destruction,peritumoral edema,fascial tail sign,enhancement patterns and tumor vasculature.Results MFS predominantly involved the extremities,especially the lower limbs,and the lesions commonly appeared as iso-to hypodensity masses with internal isodensity fibrous septations on non-enhanced CT.On non-enhanced MRI,MFS commonly demonstrated iso-to hypointense signals on T1WI,markedly hyperintense signals on T2WI,low signal fibrous septa,high signals on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),as well as tail signs and surrounding soft tissue edema.After administration of contrast agents,solid components of MFS demonstrated marked enhancement.No statistical difference of tumor vascularity was detected between groups(P=0.141,1-β=0.269).Poor prognosis group showed significantly higher rates of diffuse peritumoral edema and fascial tail signs than good prognosis group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Imaging features of MFS had certain characteristics,and the tail sign and surrounding soft tissue edema were correlated with poor prognosis.

Objective To conduct a systematic review to evaluate efficacy and safety of bladder neck preservation techniques during radical prostatectomy.Methods We searched PubMed,Embase,Medline,Central (the Cochrane Library,Issue 1,2013),CNKI,CBM from the inception to July 2015 for randomized or observational studies assessing the influence of preservation of bladder neck on the continence recovery and cancer control outcomes after radical prostatectomy.Two researchers evaluated the quality of included studies.A meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.0 software.Results Twelve observational and two randomized studies were analyzed.BNP group had a faster recovery of early continence than non-BNP group at 1 month[OR =2.88,95％ CI 1.80-4.60,P ＜ 0.05],3-4 months [OR =2.32,95％ CI 1.42-3.80,P ＜ 0.05].However there was no statistically significant difference in terms of continence rate at 6 months [OR =1.49,95％ CI 0.97-2.29,P =0.07] and 12 months [OR =0.99,95％ CI 0.70-1.39,P =0.93] among two groups.There was no significant difference in terms of PSM rate [OR =0.92,95 ％ CI 0.71-1.19,P =0.52] between BNP and non-BNP groups.Conclusions We found that preservation of the bladder neck result in earlier return of urinary continence without adversely affecting cancer control.

ObjectiveTo explore causes and prevention experience for neuropsychopathic symptoms after liver transplantation.MethodsThe clinical data of 62 patients who underwent transplantation in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed for the causes of neuropsychopathy symptoms and treatment experience was Summarized.ResultsSixteen patients(25.8％ ) had psychiatric symPtoms after liver transplantation in three weeks,four of them more severe.The common clinical manifestation was sleep disorders,mania,anxiety,depression,delirium and change of cognition.The pre-operation encephalopathy history,liver function,blood loss,time in the ICU after surgery,post-operation infection and the concentration of immunosuppressive agents were risk factors for psychiatric symptoms.All patients were cured.ConclusionsPsychiatric symptoms are commonly seen after liver transplantation and have a variety of etiology and clinical manifestations.Psychological counseling should be strengthened.The appropriate therapeutic measures for different etiology can improve patient outcomes.

ObjectiveTo study the protective effects of terlipressin on the renal function of recipients afterlivertransplantation.MethodsAmong 35casesreceivingorthotopicliver transplantation (OLT),16 cases were given terlipressin (group T):continuous infusion of terlipressin (1mg) into the vein immediately after the operation,twice every day for 3-4 days;19 cases were given dopamine and procaine (group D):continuous infusion of dopamine (40 mg) and procaine (0.5 g) into the vein immediately after the operation,twice every day for 3-5 days.In both two groups,the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were normal before the operation. Serum creatinine,urea nitrogen,serum β2 microglobulin and urine amount were determined.ResultsSerum creatinine,urea nitrogen,serum β2 microglobulin and urine amount were increased significantly at 5th day after operation in both two groups (P＜0.05).As compared with group D,urea nitrogen and serum β2 microglobulin were decreased,while the urine amount increased significantly at 5th day after operation in group D (P＜0.05).Three cases (18.8％) in group T,and10 cases (52.6％ ) in group D developed RFALT at 5th day after operation (P＜0.05).ConclusionTerlipressin can protect the renal function of recipients after liver transplantation,and it can more effectively provide good recovery conditions for the recipients who develop RFALT after liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in gastric carcinoma and the relationship with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. Methods The expression of NDRGI was detected by immunohisto chemistry in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections with a total of 220 specimens including 110 gastric carcinoma and 110 corresponding paraneoplastic tissue. The correlation between clinicopathological parameters and the expression of NDRG1 in gastric carcinoma were also analyzed. Results Low expression of NDRG1 was detected in most gastric carcinoma sections. Among the gastric cancer tissues, NDRG1 protein expression was significantly lower in tumors with more advanced pathological stage, local tumor invasion and lymphatic metastases. There was no significant difference in sex, age, tumor differentiation and gross types of the tumor. The 1-, 3- and 5 year survival and disease free survival in patients with low NDRG1 protein expression was 84.2%, 53.9%, 21.1%, and 60.5%, 31.6%, 19.7%, respectively, which was signifivantly poorer when compared with patients with high NDRG1 protein expression. Conclusion The expression of NDRG1 is low in the majority of patients with gastric carcinoma, which was in a close relationship with advanced stage, local invasion and lymphatic metastases of gastric carcinoma. NDRG1 may be a candidate metastasis suppressor gene.
