Objective:Biological markers of the ventrolateral orbitofrontal cortex(vlOFC)involved in pain regula-tion were screened.Methods:Chronic inflammatory pain was induced in male C57BL/6J mice by injection of complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA)into the left posterior plantar.Paw withdrawal threshold(PWT)and paw withdrawal latency(PWL)were detected to evalue hyperalgesia.Transcriptome sequencing was performed on fresh tissue from vlOFC of mice after behavioral tests.The differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were screened by bioinformatics method,and their biological functions and pathways were enriched.Results:Compared with the PBS group,the left hindpaw me-chanical pain threshold and the paw withdrawal latency caused by heat pain were significantly reduced in the CFA group(P＜0.001).The DEGs of vlOFC in the two groups were 497,of which 143 were up-regulated and 354 were down-reg-ulated.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGGs)analysis showed that:In chro-nic inflammatory pain model mice,DEGs of vlOFC were mainly manifested in biological processes such as organic cation transport,neurotransmitter transport,and regulation of cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration.It is related to G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs),neuropeptides and ammonium transport.DEGs mainly focuses on neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions,cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions,and cAMP signaling pathways.Reactome functional en-richment analysis showed that the pathway with the highest number of DEGs enriched and the lowest P value-adjusted was GPCRs ligand binding.Conclusion:Ion transport,neurotransmitter transport and binding,and GPCRs-related ac-tivities in vlOFC are involved in the regulation of chronic inflammatory pain.

Objective To explore the application value of automatic cytomorphological analyzer in the morphological analysis of white blood cells(WBC)in peripheral blood.Methods A total of 306 venous blood samples from inpatients and outpatients were randomly selected and prepared with automatic cytomorphological analyzer for WBC pre-classification.The differences between automatic cytomorphological analyzer counting,automatic blood cell analyzer counting and manual counting were compared,and the correlation between automatic cytomorphological analyzer and manual counting method was analyzed.Results Compared with the other two methods,the automatic cytomorphologi-cal analyzer was able to detect more types of WBC,especially abnormal cells.There were no signifi-cant differences between automatic cytomorphological analyzer and manual counting method for 6 ma-ture WBC types(band neutrophils,segmented neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,eosinophils,and basophils),immature cells at different stages and atypical lymphocyte counts(P＞0.05).Re-sults of the 6 mature WBC types counted by the automatic cytomorphological analyzer and manual counting had favorable correlations(r＞0.8).Conclusion The automatic cytomorphological analyzer can classify more types of WBC,provide WBC counting results that are highly consistent with manual microscopy,and the counting results of the two methods have a good correlation.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic-assisted natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) colectomy using Cai tube for treating left-sided colorectal cancer.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial. Inclusion criteria were as follows: preoperative pathological diagnosis of left-sided colorectal adenocarcinoma (rectal, sigmoid colon, descending colon, or left transverse colon cancer with the caudad margin ≥8 cm from the anal margin); preoperative abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (or magnetic resonance imaging) showing maximum tumor diameter <4.5 cm; and BMI <30 kg/m 2. Patients with synchronous multiple primary cancers or recurrent cancers, a history of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, preoperative evidence of significant local infiltration, distant metastasis, or complications such as intestinal obstruction and intestinal perforation, or who were not otherwise considered suitable for laparoscopic surgery were excluded. A random number table was used to randomize sequential patients to NOSES surgery using Cai tube (non-assisted incision anal sleeve: patent number ZL201410168748.2) (NOSES group) or traditional laparoscopic-assisted surgery (CLS group). Relevant clinical data of the two groups of patients were analyzed, the main outcomes being disease-free survival, overall survival, overall recurrence rate, and local recurrence rate 5 years after surgery. Results:Patients in both study groups completed the surgery successfully with no requirement for additional surgery. After mean 70 (7–83) months postoperative follow-up, the 5-year overall postoperative survival in the NOSES and CLS groups was 90.0% and 83.3%, respectively ( P=0.455); disease free survival was 90.0% and 83.3%, respectively ( P=0.455); overall recurrence rate 6.6% and 10.0%, respectively ( P=0.625); and local recurrence rate both were 3.3% ( P=0.990), respectively. None of these differences was statistically significant. Conclusions:NOSES and CLS have similar long-term efficacy, and NOSES deserves to be used in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of applying Stent Boost Subtract (SBS) technique during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with complex coronary lesions.Methods:200 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who hospitalized in the department of cardiology in Guangzhou First People′s Hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled. The coronary lesions of all patients were corresponding to B2 or C type suggested by American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) according to coronary angiography and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were randomly divided into SBS group ( n=82, SBS technique was applied during PCI) and IVUS group [ n=118, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was applied during PCI]. After stent implantation, quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) automatic analysis system was used to measure the related parameters of stent diameter (including the minimum, maximum and mean value of stent diameter) and calculate the stent eccentricity index. During PCI, stent eccentricity index, post-stent expansion, poorly positioned stent with open lesions, failure of overlapping stent with long lesions, mean cumulative dose (CD), product of total dose area (DAP), X-ray time, operation time and operation cost of each PCI were recorded in the two groups. Patients were followed up for 18 months after PCI, and the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was recorded during the follow-up period, and the cumulative survival rate without MACE was compared between the two groups. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in stent eccentricity index, proportion of guided stent expansion, proportion of poorly positioned stent with open lesions, proportion of stent failure to overlap, with statistically significant difference[(0.12±0.04) vs (0.10±0.03); 80.49% vs 85.49%; 2.44% vs 2.54%; 1.22% vs 2.54%, all P>0.05]. There were no significant differences in CD, X-ray time and DAP in SBS group compared with IVUS group [(1 394.18±42.29)Gy/cm 2 vs (1 391.82±45.06)Gy/cm 2; (18.79±3.01)min vs (18.95±3.12)min, (100.24±5.70)Gy/cm 2 vs (99.47±5.93)Gy/cm 2; all P>0.05]. The operation time in SBS group was shorter than that in IVUS group [(70.91±6.51)min vs (73.89±8.95)min, P<0.05], and the operation cost was less than that in IVUS group [(2.98±0.86)ten thousand yuan vs (3.85±0.81)ten thousand yuan, P<0.05]. After 18 months of follow-up after PCI, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in MACE event-free survival between SBS group and IVUS group (91.46% vs 94.07%, Log Rank=0.480, P=0.489). Conclusions:SBS is a kind of convenient and effective technique in guiding PCI in patients with complex coronary lesions without increasing operation time and radiation dose, which can achieve the same effect as IVUS guidance.

Objective: This present study aimed to investigate the relationship between working hours and anxiety/depression mood of medical staff in China during COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: The cross-sectional interview study was conducted during the period between February 14th and February 29th, 2020. A total of 291 Chinese medical professionals were recruited from 4 cities and participated in the study. Results: In 291 participants, 116 (40.0%) medical staff experienced anxiety and 151 (51.8%) underwent depressed mood. In male, the level of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores increased with the elevation of working hours per day (WHPD) (β=0.579, p=0.003 and β=0.943;p=0.001) respectively. In female, nonlinear relationship mode was demonstrated. The levels of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores increased with the elevation of working hours when it was above 5 hours (β=1.432; p<0.001 and β=1.177; p<0.001), but it did not have a significant association with WHPD when it was less than 5 (p>0.05). Conclusion During the COVID-19 epidemic, we found a strong correlation between the psychological mood and WHPD. The correlation followed different modes in male and female medical workers. Enforcing an upper time limit of WHPD may help decrease the risk of pandemic-related psychological problems in medical workers.
