Objective:To investigate the expressions and clinical significances of histone marks H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 in colorectal cancer.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 98 patients with colorectal cancer in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from May 2008 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, including 35 patients in the non-metastatic operation-only group, 29 patients in the synchronous hepatic oligometastasis group and 34 patients in the extensive metastasis group, and 33 patients with benign colorectal lesions who underwent colonoscopy in 2017 were selected as the control group. Immunohistochemical assay was used to detect the expressions of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 proteins in each group, and the expressions of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 proteins in colorectal cancer patients with different clinicopathological features were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and log-rank test was performed.Results:The positive expression rate of H3K9me3 protein in colorectal cancer group was 11.2% (11/98), which was lower than that in control group [60.6% (22/33)] ( χ2 = 33.33, P < 0.001); the positive expression rate of H3K27me3 protein in colorectal cancer group was 10.6% (13/98), which was lower than that in control group [97.0% (32/33)] ( χ2 = 76.70, P < 0.001). The positive expression rates of H3K9me3 protein were 60.6% (20/33), 17.1% (6/35), 10.3% (3/29) and 5.9 % (2/34) in the control group, the non-metastatic operation-only group, the synchronous hepatic oligometastasis group and the extensive metastasis group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 26.10, P < 0.001); the positive expression rates of H3K27me3 protein were 97.0% (32/33), 14.3% (5/35), 20.7% (6/29) and 5.9% (2/34), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 44.16, P < 0.001). The positive expression rate of H3K27me3 in colorectal cancer tissues of patients with lymph node metastasis degree ≤0.2 was higher than that of patients with lymph node metastasis degree >0.2 [22.4% (11/49) vs. 4.2% (2/48), χ2 = 6.98, P = 0.008]. The median overall survival (OS) time of H3K9me3 positive and negative colorectal cancer patients was 77.0 months (95% CI: 10.6-143.3 months) and 34.0 months (95% CI: 25.5-42.5 months), respectively, and there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups ( P = 0.078). The median OS time of H3K27me3 positive and negative colorectal cancer patients was 39.0 months (95% CI: 15.3- 62.7 months) and 34.0 months (95% CI: 24.3-43.7 months), respectively, and there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups ( P = 0.524). Conclusions:The expressions of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 in colorectal cancer tissues are lower than those in colorectal benign lesions, and gradually decrease with occurrence of liver metastasis and extensive metastasis. H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 may be potential cancer suppressor factors.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of blood pressure variability within 24 h after thrombolysis with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and 90 d outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in the Department of Neurology, Jinshan Branch, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2017 to May 2019 were enrolled prospectively. The baseline data of the patients were collected. The patients were divided into sICH group and non-sICH group according to the changes of head CT and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score after thrombolysis. At 90 d after thrombolysis, the modified Rankin scale was used to evaluate the outcomes, and the patients were divided into a good outcome group (0-2) and a poor outcome group (3-6). The blood pressure within 24 h after thrombolysis was monitored and the parameters related to blood pressure variability in 5 time periods (0-2 h, 2-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-18 h, and 18-24 h) were calculated, including systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) maximum (max), minimum (min), maximum and minimum difference (max-min) and mean (mean). The differences between the adjacent blood pressures were calculated, the standard deviation (SD), successive variation (SV), rise successive variability (SVrise), drop successive variability (SVdrop), the maximum squared difference in blood pressure rise (SVrisemax), the maximum squared difference in blood pressure drop (SVdropmax) were calculated and recorded, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of various blood pressure variability parameters on sICH and the outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis. Results:A total of 112 patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis were included in the study. Their median age was 71 years (range, 38-92 years), 66 were males (58.9%); median baseline NIHSS score was 10. Seventeen patients (15.2%) developed hemorrhagic transformation, 10 of them (8.9%) were sICH. The 90-d follow-up showed that 73 patients (65.2%) had a good outcome, 39 (34.8%) had a poor outcome and 7 of them (6.3%) died. There were significant differences in hypertension ( P=0.029), ischemic heart disease ( P=0.012), total cholesterol ( P=0.033), baseline NIHSS score ( P=0.003) between the sICH group and the non-sICH group. There were significant differences in age ( P=0.025), gender ( P=0.005), atrial fibrillation ( P=0.003), etiologic classification of stroke ( P=0.003), baseline NIHSS score ( P<0.001) and sICH ( P=0.003) between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group. In addition, there were significant differences in multiple blood pressure variability parameters among the above groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that DBP SVdropmax, 6-12 h DBP SV, 12-18 h DBP SV, 6-12 h DBP SVdrop, 12-18 h DBP SVdrop were the independent risk factors for sICH after intravenous thrombolysis (all P<0.05); 2-6 h SBP SV, 2-6 h SBP SVrise, 2-6 h SBP SVdrop, 2-6 h DBP SV, 2-6 h DBP SVrise and 2-6 h DBP SVdrop were the independent risk factors for poor outcome after intravenous thrombolysis (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Early blood pressure and some blood pressure variability parameters are closely related to sICH and outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke. Closely monitoring of blood pressure and its variability can help clinical management and outcome prediction after intravenous thrombolysis.

Objective: To explore the association between excite seeking personality and alcohol use, and provide reference basis for intervention measures of drinking behavior. Methods: Totally 5966 college students in 8universities [2180 males, mean age (20 ± 1) ] were selected from Hunan province by using multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. We Chat-based anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted by using general questionnaire, excite-seeking personality scales, alcohol questionnaire, and alcohol use disorders identification test. Results: The rate of 12-month alcohol drinking, binge drinking, hazardous and harmful drinking among college students were 47. 5％, 24. 5％, 7. 4％, respectively. High degree of excite seeking personality had more likelihood to having had alcohol drinking, binge drinking, hazardous and harmful drinking (Ps ＜ 0. 01). Excite seeking personality was an independent risk factor of 12-month alcohol drinking, binge drinking, hazardous and harmful drinking. Conclusion: It suggests that excite-seeking personality may be a related factor of alcohol drinking behavior.

Objective To evaluate intraoperative placement of bile duct decompression drainage tube in CBD primary suture after laparoscopic choledocholithotomy.Methods 152 patients undergoing laparoscopic choledocholithotomy were divided into group A (placement of bile duct decompression drainage tube during operation,82 cases) and group B (no decompression drainage tube placement,70 casas).Results There was no significant difference in operative time and intraoperative bleeding between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).In group B patients the abdominal drainage tube indwelling time,abdominal drainage volume,peritoneal drainage fluid bilirubin value,postoperative hospitalization time were significantly longer than group A,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).No recurrence of choledocholithiasis and biliary stricture were found in either groups.Conclusions Placement of bile duct decompression drainage tube in laparoscopic choledocholithotomy and CBD primary suture after laparoscopic choledochotomy can significantly reduce the incidence of biliary leakage and shorten the postoperative hospital stay.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and experiences of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) for segment Ⅶ and Ⅷ liver tumors.Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 94 patients who underwent LH for segment lⅦ or Ⅷ liver tumors in the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2010 to August 2016 were collected.The operating space for operation was built under laparoscopy.According to liver cirrhosis grading,tumor size,adjacent relationship with major blood vessels and residual liver volume,non-anatomical and anatomical hepatectomies were selected by patients.During the operation,tumors were precisely pinpointed and plane of liver resection was determined,and then proper instruments of liver partition and techniques of hepatic inflow occlusion were selected.Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative recovery situations;(2) postoperative pathological examination;(3) follow-up and survival situation.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the patients' survival up to July 2017.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (interquartile range).Survival rate was caculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.Results (1) Surgical and postoperative recovery situations:all 94 patients received successful operations,without perioperative death,including 73undergoing non-anatomical hepatectomy and 21 undergoing anatomical hepatectomy.Fourteen patients had conversion to open surgery and 27 received hepatic inflow occlusion.The median operation time,median volume of intraoperative blood loss and cases with intraoperative blood transfusion were respectively 187.5 minutes (75.0minutes),200 mL (200 mL) and 15.Eighteen patients had postoperative complications,including 6 with pleural effusion,6 with abdominal effusion,1 with wound infection,1 with abdominal infection,1 with venous thrombosis,1 with bleeding,1 with coagulation disorders and 1 with hepatic insufficiency.Clavien-Dindo classification of complications:11,1,5 and 1 patients were detected in grade Ⅰ,lⅡ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ,respectively.All complications were improved by symptomatic treatment.The median duration of hospital stay was 7 days (6 days).(2) Postoperative pathological examination:results of tumor pathological examination showed that 45,5,9 and 35 patients were respectively confirmed as hepatocellular carcinoma,cholangiocarcinoma,metastatic hepatic carcinoma and benign liver tumor.(3) Follow-up and survival situation:59 patients with malignant tumors were followed up for 6.0-52.0 months,with a median time of 42.6 months.Postoperative 1-and 3-year overall survival rates of 59 patients with malignant tumors were 98.3％ and 84.7％,respectively.Conclusions LH for segment Ⅶ and Ⅷ liver tumors which is conducted in experienced medical center is safe and feasible,with definite effects.Building operating space for operation under laparoscopy,determining precise positioning of the tumor and plane of liver resection,and selecting proper instruments of liver partition and techniques of hepatic inflow occlusion are the key points of successful operation.

Results A total of 19 756 cerebrospinal fluid specimens were collected and 1 386 bacterial strains were isolated, in which 650 (46.9%) were CoNS.Among 650 CoNS strains, 130 were diagnosed as the pathogen, and the top 4 CoNS species were Staphylococcus epidermidis (77/130, 59.2%), Staphylococcus hominis (18/130, 13.8%), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (11/130, 8.5%) and Staphylococcus capitis (9/130, 6.9%).The rest 520 CoNS strains were contaminating strains.According to antimicrobial susceptibility test, there were 103 strains of methicillin-resistant CoNS (MR-CoNS) accounting for 79.1% (103/130).And among 77 Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates, 67 were MR-CoNS strains (87.0%) .More than 90.0%Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid, and the rest CoNS strains were also highly sensitive to these two antibacterial agents.Conclusions CoNS plays an important role in post-surgery infection in neurosurgical patients, and Staphylococcus epidermidis is the dominant CoNS species.Most CoNS strains are methicillin-resistant, but are highly sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid.

Objective To analyze the perioperative conditions and long-term survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods 119 patients with NSCLC underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy from January 2006 to December 2012 were enrolled in the study, then collecting and analyzing their perioperative indicators, pathological results and follow-up data. Results 9 patients converted to thoracotomy with a conversion rate of 7.0 %. The median operation time, the median intraoperative blood loss and off-bed activity time were 170 min (65~440 min), 90 ml (15~3 000 ml) and (32.9 ± 16.3) h after operation respectively. The time and amount of postoperative drainage, the length of hospital stay were (6.7 ± 3.2) d, (1 690.0 ± 410.5) ml, (9.2 ± 4.0) d respectively. The incidence of perioperative mortality and postoperative complications were 0.8 %, 13.4 % respectively. For postoperative pathological type, 96 cases of adenocarcinoma, 19 cases of squamous carcinoma, 2 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma and 2 cases of large cell carcinoma. For discharge patients, the median follow-up time was 34.5 months (0 ~ 102 months). The incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis in observation group were 5.0 % and 17.6 % respectively. 1-year overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were 85.3 % and 79.5 %, 3-year OS and DFS were 69.8 % and 64.8 %, 5-year OS and DFS were 60.8 %and 58.6 % respectively. There was no significant difference in 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS and DFS between adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma (P > 0.05) while there were significant difference in local recurrence and distant metastasis among different stages (P < 0.05). In addition to slightly low OS, DFS of Ⅲ a , Ⅲ b and Ⅳ DFS and OS, the overall living conditions among all stage were similar. Conclusions The long-term survival condition of thoracoscopic lobectomy for NSCLC is ideal, and it’s a safe and effective operation, worthy of clinical promoting.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of color doppler ultrasound examination of thyroid in occupational health care of radiation-exposed physicians.

METHODSOne hundred and thirty-four radiation-exposed physicians (observation group) and sixty-eight non-radiation-exposed physicians (control group) received color doppler ultrasound examination of thyroid using ALOKA SSD-4000 color doppler ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, and the results were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe anteroposterior diameters of the left lobe, right lobe, and isthmus of the thyroid in the observation group were significantly larger than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly larger internal diameters and peak blood flow velocities during systole of the right superior thyroid artery (P < 0.05, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in detection rates of thyroid nodules and lymph nodes between the observation group and the control group (18.7% vs 13.2%, P > 0.05; 6.7% vs 1.5%, P > 0.05). The radiation-exposed physicians were exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation with a dose between 0.14 and 1.67 mSv/a.

CONCLUSIONThe color doppler ultrasound examination of the thyroid can detect early changes in the thyroid of radiation-exposed physicians exposed to long-term and low-dose ionizing radiation.
