Objective To conduct the reductive reservation for torsional ovary in different states(.un-necrotic ovary,suspected necrotic torsional ovary and torsional necrotic ovary)after the ovarian torsion in pre-maturity SD rat,and to investigate its effect on the ovarian reproductive function in maturity stage.Methods A total of 32 SD rats with 3 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups,8 cases in each group.The animal model of ovarian torsion was made by using the Turner method,which was similar to the animal model of testicular torsion,and either group was selected to undergo the sham operation as the con-trol group(CG group).The non-necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(NNTOD group),suspected necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(SNTOD group)and necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(NTOD group)were established respectively.When the animals were fed to sexual maturity at 8 weeks of age,the experimen-tal animals were sacrificed by vertebral dislocation method,and the ovary tissues on the torsional side were cut for HE staining and transmission electron microscopy to examine the changes of ovarian histomorphology and mitochondrial structure.Ovarian cell apoptosis was detected by Tunel assay.ELISA method was used to de-tect the follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH)and anti-mullerian duct hormone(AMH)levels in centrifugal blood.Results The ovarian structure in the CG group and NNTOD group was clear,the ovarian follicles at different levels were developed well;the electron microscopy showed normal mi-tochondria.The ovarian partial structure in the SNTOD group was disorganized,the number of follicles at all levels of growth was decreased;electron microscopic examination showed a little damage of mitochondria.In the NTOD group,the arrangement of ovarian structure was obviously disordered,the number of growing folli-cles at all levels was significantly reduced;the electron microscopy showed that most of the mitochondria were obviously swollen and severely damaged.Compared with the CG group,the apoptosis rate in the SNTOD group and NTOD group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant differ-ence between CG group and NNTOD group(P＞0.05).Compared with the NTOD group,the apoptosis rate in the SNTOD group was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the CG group,the levels of LH and FSH in the SNTOD and NTOD groups were increased,and the AMH level was decreased(P＜0.05).The LH and FSH levels in the SNTOD group were lower than those in the NTOD group,the AMH level was higher than that in the NTOD group(P＜0.05).Conclusion After reduction of the torsional suspected necrotic ovary in the prematurity rat,the ovarian reproductive function in the torsional side during sexual maturity period is slightly injured;while after reduction of torsional necrotic ovary restoration,its reproductive function is appar-ently damaged.

Objective To explore and analyze adverse drug events(ADE)signals of azithromycin,identify common adverse events and suspected adverse reactions that occur easily in the real clinical application of azithromycin.Methods The adverse drug event reports related to azithromycin recorded in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database from October 1,2003,to October 1,2023,were mined using the OpenVigil 2.1 drug surveillance platform.Signal detection and analysis were carried out using the reporting odds ratio(ROR)and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network method(BCPNN).Results A total of 5498 ADE signals were identified,with a total of 112485 reports.Eventually,31,041 azithromycin-associated adverse event reports were extracted,involving 898 positive signals,27 system organ classes,mainly concentrated in respiratory system diseases,infections,gastrointestinal system diseases,and others.Additionally,some adverse reactions possibly caused by azithromycin were discovered,such as asthma,wheezing,and potential reactions like incomplete abortion.Conclusion When using azithromycin,besides paying attention to the adverse reactions listed in the drug instructions,we should also pay attention to some adverse reactions that have not been timely recorded or updated,in order to prevent the medication safety risks caused by outdated instructions,provide reasonable medication advice,and ensure the medication safety of patients.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the common acute abdominal diseases of the digestive system, and its incidence is increasing year by year in China, Europe, and the United States. Although its etiology is diverse, it follows certain pathophysiological processes and the key regulatory molecules are similar. Over the past few years, on the one hand, progress in the research was made on pancreatic acinar and ductal epithelial cells including calcium signaling pathways, impaired autophagy flux, dysfunction of mitochondria and other organelles, and endoplasmic reticulum stress imbalance. On the other hand, important progress was made in early recruitment and excessive activation of immune cells and their roles in regulating pancreatic necrosis and pancreatitis-associated multiple organ failure. All of the above-mentioned research progress has greatly enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis and intervention strategies of AP. This article will focus on the basic research progress in the pathogenesis of AP in recent years in order to provide clinical guidance for the early treatment of AP.

Objective:To explore the positive rates of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid at different time of courses of COVID-19.Methods:Patients with confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled in this study. Nasal and throat swabs were collected from different courses of disease. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect 2019-nCoV nucleic acid.Results:From January 23 to February 20, 2020, a total of 120 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were reported in Xi’an, and 85 cases(70.83%) were positive in first detection. The COVID-19 cases included consistently nucleic acid positive and intermittently nucleic acid positive patients. 2019-nCoV nucleic acid could be detected in incubation period, and the longest observed duration of nucleic acid positive in this study was 26 days. The positive rate of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid was up to 84.21% on the 6th day, and the positive rate decreased as time passed during the course of COVID-19. Three patients (2.86%) were tested positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid again in nasal and throat swabs after discharge.Conclusions:The positive rate of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid was higher in the early stage of disease. 2019-nCoV nucleic acid can be detected in incubation period, and virus shedding may last for a long period.

Objective: In order to master the epidemic trend of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and evaluate the effect of prevention and control, we evaluate the epidemic dynamics of COVID-19 in mainland China, Hubei province, Wuhan city and other provinces outside Hubei from January 16 to February 14, 2020. Methods: We collected the daily number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases by nucleic acid detection reported by the National Health Commission from January 16, 2020 to February 14, 2020. The analysis includes the epidemic curve of the new confirmed cases, multiple of the new confirmed cases for period-over-period, multiple of the new confirmed cases for fixed-base, and the period-over-period growth rate of the new confirmed cases. Results: From January 16 to February 14, 2020, the cumulative number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in mainland China was 50 031, including 37 930 in Hubei province, 22 883 in Wuhan city and 12 101 in other provinces outside Hubei. The peak of the number of new confirmed cases in other provinces outside Hubei was from January 31 to February 4, 2020, and the peak of new confirmed cases in Wuhan city and Hubei province was from February 5 to February 9, 2020. The number of new confirmed cases in other provinces outside Hubei showed a significant decline (23% compared with the peak) from February 5 to February 9, 2020, while the number of new confirmed cases in Wuhan city (30% compared with the peak) and Hubei Province (37% compared with the peak) decreased significantly from February 10 to February 14, 2020. Conclusion The epidemic prevention and control measures taken by the state and governments at all levels have shown very significant effects, effectively curbing the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in China.

Objective To explore the clinical and imaging factors influencing the patients' prognosis after preoperative radiotherapy for local advanced rectal cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 106 locally advanced rectal cancer patients from June 2004 to September 2015 in our institution.All patients underwent preoperative radiotherapy.According to the Mandard score,patients were divided into 5 groups (TRG1-5).All patients were divided into two groups according to the TRG,which including good responder (TRG1 + 2) and poor responder (TRG3 + 4 + 5) groups.All of the tumor ADC values of post-RT were measured by Diffusion-weighted MRI technology,and the relationship between tumor ADC values of post-RT and TRG was analyzed.Results In univariate analysis,age,chemotherapy,pT,pN,differentiation degree,vascular invasion and TRG were significantly associated with overall survival (x2 =3.945-8.110,P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate analysis indicated that differentiation degree and TRG were the independent prognostic factors for OS (x2 =5.221,6.563,P ＜ 0.05).No significant difference was found between long-course and short-course radiotherapy group (P ＞ 0.05) in OS.The good responder group had a favorable survival in 5-year OS compared to the poor responder group (x2 =8.110,P ＜ 0.05).Preoperative radiotherapy,preoperative chemotherapy,pathological type,differentiation degree and gross type,vascular tumor thrombus and tumor ADC values of post-RT were significantly associated with TRG (x2 =4.189-18.139,P ＜ 0.05).The best critical point of tumor ADC values of post-RT was 1.7 x 10-3 mm2/s by using ROC curve.The accuracy of tumor ADC values of post-RT in predicting TRG1 + 2 was 70％.Conclusions The TRG can predict the efficacy of preoperative radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer based on the Mandard score.There was no significant difference in OS between long-course radiotherapy group and short-course radiotherapy group.The tumor ADC values of post-RT might become a potential factor to predict TRG in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after preoperative radiotherapy.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the local failure and the impact on survival by prospectively comparing involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) and elective nodal irradiation (ENI) in combination with concurrent chemotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer ( LA-NSCLC ).Methods LANSCLC patients were treated with 2 cycles of carboplatin ( AUC =5 - 6,d1 ) combined with paclitaxel ( 175mg/m2 ),followed assessment without distant metastasis,then randomized into IFRT (45 patients) or ENI (54 patients) arm.IFRT included primary tumor,ipsilateral hilar and positive mediastinal lymph nodes;ENI included the primary lesion,ipsilateral hilar,hilateral mediastinal lymph node drainage and bilateral supraclavicular area.The prescription dose was given as high as possible with V20 ≤35％ and spinal cord dose ≤50 Gy,combined weekly paclitaxel 40 mg/m2 concurrent chemotherapy.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival data and the log-rank method was used to test distribution of survival time between arms.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 99％.49,29 and 17 patients were followed-up for 1-,2-and 3-year,respectively.More patients from group IFRT received ＞60 Gy than ENI (49％ vs.26％,x2 =5.59,P =0.018 ).The local failure rates were 29％ and 36％,respectively ( x2 =0.46,P =0.497 ).The 1-,2-and 3-year local tumor progression-free survival rates were 76％,69％,65％ and 80％,53％,49％ ( x2 =0.74,P =0.389),respectively; the 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 80％,41％,33％ and 69％,32％,13％ (x2 =3.97,P =0.046),respectively.There were no significant differences in acute and late toxicities between the arms ( x2 =3.910 - 0.155,P =0.142 - 0.925 ).ConclusionsIFRT improved radiation dose and survival rate and did not increase the failure of elective lymph node region compared with ENI.The toxicities were no differences between IFRT and ENL Further investigation with big size sample is warranted.
