Objective:To establish the method for detecting lower respiratory infections (LRIs) bacterialpathogens using nanopore sequencing, and evaluate the feasibility of this method.Methods:Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from 33 patients with LRIs who visited the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Hospital from July 2019 to September 2020 were collected.Nanopore 16S amplicon sequencing were performed on these samples. In order to evaluate the clinical value of the nanopore sequencing, χ 2 test was used to analyze the pathogen differences between the detection rate and pathogen types results found with using the nanopore 16S sequencing and the results found with bacterial culture. Results:The process and method of nanopore sequencing used in the detection of the LRIs pathogens were established. The pathogen detection rate of the 16S sequencing was higher than that of the traditional bacterial culture (75.8% [25/33], 45.5% [15/33], χ2=5.140, P<0.05). From the 25 positive samples found with nanopore 16S sequencing, 16 pathogens were detected, including Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptomonas maltophilia, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Acinetobacter junii, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus gallinarum, Corynebacterium striatum, Mycobacterium paraintracellulare, Serratia marcescens, Achromobacter insuavis, Citrobacter murliniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. More than 6 pathogens were tested in clinical culture, including Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptomonas maltophilia (χ2=7.949, P<0.05). 16S sequencing aligned to species level sequences accounted for 80.0 (60.0, 86.0)% of the genus level. The results obtained by using16S sequencing and bacterial culture were consistent in 11 (33.3%) samples. Conclusions:Nanopore 16S amplicon sequencing can quickly identify pathogenic bacteria from BALF in LRIs patients. Nanopore 16S amplicon sequencing has a high detection rate, it can detect more pathogens than traditional bacterial culture, and it can also identify most bacteria to the species level. This technology is a very promising platform with broad application prospects.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with pulmonary protective ventilation against lung injury in patients undergoing surgeries for esophageal cancer with one-lung ventilation (OLV). METHODS: Forty patients with undergoing surgery for esophageal cancer with OLV were randomly divided into pulmonary protective ventilation strategy group (F group) and dexmedetomidine combined with protective ventilation strategy group (DF group; =20). In F group, lung protective ventilation strategy during anesthesia was adopte, and in DF group, the patients received intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride (0.3 μg · kg ·h) during the surgery starting at 10 min before anesthesia induction in addition to protective ventilation strategy. Brachial artery blood was sampled before ventilation (T), at 30 and 90 min after the start of OLV (T and T, respectively) and at the end of the surgery (T) for analysis of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), arterial oxygenation pressure (PaO), oxygenation index (OI) and lung compliance (CL). RESULTS: At the time points of T, T and T, SOD level was significantly higher and IL-6 level was significantly lower in the DF group than in F group ( < 0.05). The patients in DF group showed significantly higher PaO, OI and CL index than those in F group at all the 3 time points. CONCLUSIONS Dexmedetomidine combined with pulmonary protective ventilation strategy can reduce perioperative lung injury in patients undergoing surgery for esophageal cancer with OLV by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress to improve lung function and reduce adverse effects of the surgery.

Objective This study was conducted to assess the accuracy of [18F] fiuorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG PET-CT) in detection of pelvic nodal metastases in endometrial cancer.Methods Patients with endometrial cancer from January 2015 to June 2017 confirmed by the postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed.30 patients finished PET-CT before operation.The findings on histopathology were compared with 18FDG-PET/CT findings to calculate the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV),and accuracy of 18FDG-PET/CT.To analyze the efficacy of maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) and lymph node maximum standardized uptake (LN-SUVmax) of PET-CT in the diagnosis of pelvic lymph node metastasis.Resuits For detection of pelvic nodes,based on patient analysis,18FDG-PET/CT had a sensitivity of 75.0％,specificity of 88.5％,PPV of 50.0％,NPV of 95.8％ and accuracy of 86.7％.Based on a nodal region analysis,18FDG-PET/CT had a sensitivity of 83.3％,specificity of 98.3％,PPV of 55.0％,NPV of 99.6％,and accuracy of 98.3％.When maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) ＞ 8,area under curve (AUC) =0.64,Yonden Index =0.42.When maximum standardized uptake values of lymphonodus (LN-SUVmax) ＞ 3 (AUC =0.79,Yonden Index =0.63),the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis of lymph node metastasis were 100％,42.31％,and 75.0％,88.5％,but without statistically significant difference.Although AUC of LN-SUVmax was higher than SUVmax of primary lesion,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions 18 FDG-PET/CT has high specificity,NPV for detection of pelvic LN metastasis area in endometrial cancer,which can provide preoperative basis for patients with endometrial cancer to avoid lymph node resection,thereby reducing the risk of early endometrial cancer surgery and improving the quality of life after surgery.We concluded that,there were no exact cutoffs of SUVmax for the prediction of lymph node metastases,neither primary lesion,nor lymph node.There is clearly a need for multicenter,large-scale trials to find out better parameters in judging metastasis of lymphnodes.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5(LGR5) in endometrial cancer(EC) and their relationship with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:Immunohistochemistry were performed to measure the LGR5 expression in EC(n =90) and normal endometrium tissue(n =30).The expression of LGR5 and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results:The expression of LGR5 was significantly higher in EC than that in normal tissue (63.3％ vs 23.3％,P＜0.001).The expression of LGR5 in ＜ 1/2 myometrium infiltration group was higher than in ≥1/2 myometrium infiltration group(72.5％ vs 33.3％,P =0.001).There was no significant difference between the expression of LGR5 in different group of age,histological type,histological differentiation,cervical stroma invasion,lymph node metastasis,FIGO stage(P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that LGR5 was an independent influential factor of myometrium infiltration (OR =0.163,95％ CI 0.034 ～ 0.772,P =0.022).Conclusions:LGR5 is up-regulated in EC,and is correlated to myometrium infiltration.LGR5 may play an important role in EC tumorigenesis.
