In order to understand the prevalence of Akabane disease(AKAD)in Guizhou Province and the molecular characteristics of the isolates,the whole-genome sequence of a strain of Akabane virus(AKAV)from a bovine AKAD-positive sample was determined and analyzed.The genotype and genetic variation of the strain were also explored.Based on the conserved S sequence,a fluores-cence quantitative PCR(qPCR)detection method was established and applied for the investigation of AKAV infection status in four large-scale beef cattle farms of Guizhou.Results showed that the S,M and L fragments of the bovine strain were highly homologous to the Tianjin strain(TJ2016/China/2016)and the Australian strain(JaLAB39/Australia/1959),where they were in the same evolutionary branch and belonged to genotype Ⅱ.Sensitivity assay found that the lowest detection limit was 2.5 X 101 copies/μL.Specificity assay showed the established method detected only AKAV with no amplification on bovine bluetongue virus(BLUV),Pasteurella multocida(PM),bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus(IBRV)and bovine Mycoplasma bovis.The variation coefficients of inter-and intra batches in the repeatability test were both lower than 2.26％.These findings illus-trated that the established qPCR method had high sensitivity,good specificity and repeatability.A total of 298 serum samples from 4 large-scale beef cattle farms in Qianxi City and Huangping County of Guizhou Province were collected and tested for AKAV by the method.Out of 298 sam-ples,25 positive samples(25/298)were detected as positive with a positive rate of 8.39％.In sum-mary,this work provided the reference data for a deep understanding of the molecular prevalence of AKAV in Guizhou Province and laid foundation for the prevention and control of AKAD.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation of monocytes and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(MHR) and albumin with the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with unstable angina pectoris. 【Methods】 We enrolled 342 patients with unstable angina pectoris. According to the Gensini score of their coronary angiography results, they were divided into Gensini≤ 20 group, 2040 group. The differences in biochemical indicators between the groups were compared, and the correlation between the different indicators and the Gensini score was analyzed. According to the MHR quartile grouping, there were differences between the comparison groups. LDL-C was divided into subgroups and then subjected to multifactor Logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 MHR differed significantly among low, moderate and high grade lesions (P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that in low LDL-C group, Gensini score was positively correlated with MHR(P<0.05), while in high LDL-C group, Gensini score was negatively correlated with albumin(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the MHR level of patients with high Gensini score was 102.375 times higher than that of patients with low Gensini score(P<0.05). In the group with high LDL-C, the serum albumin level in the group with low Gensini score was 1.431 times that in the group with high Gensini score and 1.218 times that in the group with moderate Gensini score(all P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In patients with unstable angina pectoris, especially when LDL-C levels are not high, both high MHR and low serum albumin are independent risk factors for the severity of coronary artery disease.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.

Objective:To improve the understanding of the clinical features of toxic encephalopathy associated with diquat poisoning.Methods:This study collected and analyzed the diagnosis and treatment process of 7 patients with acute diquat poisoning combined with central nervous system complications admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2021 to April 2022. "Diquat" and "Poisoning" were used as keywords to search in CNKI, Wanfang database and PubMed database, and the literature of previous cases was reviewed for summary analysis.Results:Among the 7 patients in our hospital, there were 2 males and 5 females, with an average age of 31 years (range14-57) and an average dose of 23.14 g [(10-40)g]. During the treatment, 3 patients developed irritability and convulsions, 3 patients occurred coma, and one had generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Four patients died and 3 survived, of which 2 patients returned to normal life and study, and one remained abnormal mental behavior (currently in long-term follow-up). All three survivors developed neurological symptoms later than those who died, and were awake about 30 days after taking the drug.Conclusions:Toxic encephalopathy associated with diquat poisoning has rapid progression, poor prognosis and high mortality. This study found that the survival rate of patients with > 48 h of first onset of neurological symptoms is much higher than that of patients with ≤ 48 h of first onset of neurological symptoms, while sex, age, estimated oral dose, and type of presentation of neurological symptoms for the first time have little effect on the survival rate of hospital discharge. The earlier neurological symptoms appear, the greater the likelihood of a poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo explore the technical advantages of nano carbon development combined with artery approach in lymph node sorting of rectal cancer.

METHODSFrom December 2015 to June 2016, 70 patients with of rectal cancer in General Surgery Department of Henan Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into nano carbon development combined with artery approach group(artery approach group) and conventional group. Specimen of artery approach group was placed on the sorting table. Anatomy was performed from the root of inferior mesenteric artery to left colonic artery, sigmoid artery and superior rectal artery. Along the arterial vessel shape, the black-stained lymph nodes and non-stained lymph nodes (perhaps pink, pale yellow, white or pale brown) were examined carefully using visual and haptic combination method for identification of lymph node. From the root of inferior mesenteric artery, central lymph nodes were sorted. Along the vessel shape, vascular lymph nodes were sorted. Intestinal lymph nodes around the rectum were examined as well. Then, specimen was reversed on the sorting table and underwent sorting as above after the examination of obverse. The conventional group received routine method. The total number, the average harvested number, the number of positive lymph nodes and the number of patients with lymph nodes less than 12 were compared between two groups.

RESULTSAmong 70 cases, 37 were male and 33 were female with the median age of 57(32-88) years old. Dixon resection was performed in 46 cases, and Miles resection in 24 cases. Total sorting lymph node was 1 105, including 641 of artery approach group and 464 of control group with significant difference (t=20.717, P=0.000). Lymph node sorting time of artery approach group was (12.6±3.9) minutes, which was shorter than (18.2±4.1) minutes of control group (t=12.464, P=0.000). In artery approach group, number of lymph node with diameter less than 5 mm was 142, sorting rate was 22.2%(142/641), of which 29 were positive(20.4%). In conventional group, 37 lymph nodes with diameter less than 5 mm were found, and sorting rate was 8.0%(37/464), of which 6 were positive(16.2%). Number of the first station of lymph node sorting in artery approach group and conventional group was 282(44%) and 169(36.4%); number of the second station lymph node sorting was 230(35.9%) and 180(38.8%); number of the third station lymph node sorting was 129(20.1%) and 115(24.8%).

CONCLUSIONThe method of nano carbon development combined with artery approach in lymph node sorting of rectal cancer has some advantages, such as simple operation, more harvested lymph nodes, and more accurate pathological staging.

Objective To evaluate the result of early repair for urinary fistula caused by iatrogenic injury to ureter,bladder and urethra during resection of rectal cancer.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 26 cases of urinary fistula after resection of rectal cancer patients encountered in Department of General Surgery,Henan Tumor Hospital from October 2005 to May 2016.Urinary fistula was divided into four types according to the site of fistula.Results Surgery was performed ever after the diagnosis of the fistula was identified.In type Ⅰ fistula (6 cases of posterior urethral fistula) the treatment was stent placement and packing of the greater omentum.2 cases of bladder top fistula (type Ⅱ),were treated by fistula repair and cystostomy.Type Ⅲ involved 12 cases (bladder triangle fistula).The treatment was ureter stenting replantation,and cystostomy Type Ⅳ:ureteral fistula in 6 cases,the treatment was end-to-end anastomosis and stenting.After surgery 24 cases were cured and 2 cases (all of type Ⅲ fistula) ended up with permanent bilateral ureterocutaneostomy.Conclusion It is safe and effective to make early remedy repair for ureter,bladder and urethral fistula iatrogenically during rectal cancer resection.

Objective To evaluate a novel lymph node (LN) sorting method on surgical resected sample guided by nanometer carbon staining and principle following the supplying artery tributory in rightsided colon carcinoma.Methods From May 2015 to June 2016,51 patients were randomly divided into two groups adopting traditional LN sorting method and that of a combination of nanometer carbon and artery guided.The final LN status were compared between the 2 groups.Results The total LN number and the positive LN in novel method group were higher than control group (437 vs.349,70 vs.54).The dissection time used,the number of harvested positive LN that was ＜ 5 mm were significantly different [(13.1 ± 3.2) minvs.(17.8 ±3.8)min,t=4.75,P=0.000;1.0±l.0vs.0.2 ±0.6,t=3.51,P=0.000].The number of patients with harvested LN less than 12,the rate of positive lymph nodes,the rate of metastasis were not significantly different (all P ＞ 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusions Use of nanometer carbon development combined with artery approach facilitates LN sorting,yielding more positive LNs,and increating the accuracy of pathological staging in right-sided colon cancer.

During the anaerobic fermentation by Escherichia coli AFP111 for succinic acid production, the viable cell concentration and productivity were decreased with the raising of succinic acid concentration. In order to restore cellular succinic acid productivity and prolong fermentation time, we collected strains and refreshed medium for repetitive succinic acid production. However, productivity is lower than that in the anaerobic fermentation before reusing strains. To enhance the productivity, strains were aerobically cultivated for 3 h in pure water before anaerobic fermentation. The activities of key enzymes were enhanced for better performance in producing succinic acid at anaerobic stage. After three rounds of repetitive fermentations, succinic acid concentration and yield reached to 56.50 g/L and 90% respectively. The succinic acid productivity was 0.81 g/(L x h), which was 13% higher than the repetitive fermentations without aerobic activation of the strains.
