Objective:To investigate the combined application of cytology, cell block histology and immunohistochemistry to improve the diagnostic accuracy of solid pancreatic lesions in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) samples.Methods:The pathological data of EUS-FNA in 311 cases of solid pancreatic lesions submitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China from May 2019 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The cases included pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, 172 cases), solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN, 12 cases), neuroendocrine tumors (PNET, 14 cases) and chronic pancreatitis (113 cases). The cytological features of smears, the histology of cell block sections and the diagnostic markers in PDAC, SPN and PNET were analyzed. The diagnostic accuracies of cytology, cell block histology/immunohistochemistry and combination of the two methods for classifying these pancreatic solid lesions were evaluated.Results:Irregular arrangement of atypical (cancer) cells, anisonucleosis and nuclear atypia were the typical cytological features of PDAC, while presence of pseudopapillae with a myxoid/hyalinized fibrovascular core and low adhesion/salt-and-pepper chromatin were diagnostic features of SPN and NET, respectively. Immunohistochemical results showed that CK7 and CK19 were the most sensitive markers of pancreatic ductal epithelia, and the diffuse strong expression of S-100P (102/111, 91.9%) and aberrant expression of p53 (80/111, 72.1%) were important immunophenotypic markers of PDAC. Various degrees of CDX2 expression could be found in 66.4% PDAC. The expression of CD10, PR, vimentin, CD99 and cyclinD1 and the aberrant expression of β-catenin were the immunophenotypic features of SPN, while the expression of CgA, Syn and CD56 were indispensable immunemarkers for the diagnosis of PNET. Overall, cytology had higher sensitivity than cell block histology (93.9% versus 82.8%) and lower specificity (92.9% versus 99.1%), while the combination of the two methods significantly improved the sensitivity to 96.9% in solid pancreatic lesions. The combination of cytology and cell block histology could significantly improve the diagnostic efficacy of EUS-FNA in PDAC.Conclusions:Integrated diagnosis based on cytology (including rapid on-site evaluation), cell block histology and immunohistochemical findings could significantly improve the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA in classifying solid pancreatic lesions.

The outbreak of COVID-19 around the world has made more than two millions of confirmed patients and serious shortages of healthcare resources and medical staff in many countries. In the battle of fighting COVID-19 in Wuhan, many microsurgery staff across China were sent to Wuhan and put on duty in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this article is to review the personal experiences of microsurgery staff in fighting against COVID-19 as well as to analyse how to act professionally when facing the challenges and change of roles and meanwhile having to give full play to the professional advantages subject to make contributions to the battle of COVID-19. A reference is hereby provided for the microsurgery staff in dealing with a sudden and major epidemic outbreak in the future.

Objective:To discuss the emergency nursing management procedure in Department of Microsurgery during novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19) and evaluate the effect of the prevention and control procedures.Methods:From January, 20- February 20, 2020, in order to prevent the medical staff and patients from infection of COVID-19, prevention and control measures were put in place which included screening and diagnosis of emergency pa- tients at the Department of Emergency through check body temperature and lung CT scan, monitoring body temperature and finger blood oxygen saturation on all inpatients and their accompanies, confirming the diagnosis and quarantine the patients who were in high temperature with abnormal lung CT scans, disinfecting and summary disinfection of the quaran- tine wards where suspected patients stayed, training medical staff for personal protections, standardizing the use and man- agement of personal protection equipment (PPE), managing medical staff in wards, educating patient about the COVID-19 to relive their nervousness, etc.Results:Of the 4 patients with persistent fever, 2 were diagnosed as new coronavirus infection. Of the 2 COVID-19 patients, 1 had confirmed diagnosis and transferred, the other who with highly suspected COVID-19 was quarantined at home. All medical staffs were trained with COVID-19 prevention and control proce- dures, with a qualification rate at 100%. Fourty-eight medical staffs were put on front-line duty and the rest of 17 were put on standby. Apart from one medical staff had been infected at the early phase of COVID-19, no one was in- fected after the emergency management and protective measures were implemented. All medical devices were used strictly to follow the controlled procedures. All patient wore masks.Conclusion:During the COVID-19 epidemic, emergency management measures were taken to avoid cross infection in hospital, which ensured the safety of medical staff and patients. The COVID-19 prevention and control measures were practical, in time and effective.

[Abstratct] Objective To investigate the preventive effect of atomization inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root for proventing invasive fungal infection on lower respiratory tract infection after chemotherapy. Methods A total of 60 cases of patients with lower respiratory tract infections after chemotherapy were selected and randomized into control groups and treatment groups, there were 30 cases in every group, anti-infection was taken in two groups according to drug sensitivity test,atomamdation inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root was taken in treatment groups in addition, clinical effect was contrasted, incidence rate and time of fungal infection were contrasted between control group and treatment group,and index of blood gas analysis was contrasted between control group and treatment group after two weeks. Results Clinical efficiency was 86.67% in treatment group and was 70.00% in control group,clinical efficiency was higher in treatment groups than in control group,incidence rate of fungal infection was 6.67% in treatment group and was 23.33% in control group,incidence rate of fungal infection was lower in treatment group than in control goup,time of fungal infection was (11.58±1.31)days in treatment group and was (9.41±1.10)days in control group,time of fungal infect was later in treatment group than that in control group. There were no significant differences of the levels of pH,SaO2,PaCO2 and PaO2 between the two groups before treatment, the levels of pH,SaO2,and PaO2 were higher and PaCO2 was lower in treatment group than that in control goup after treatment. Conclusion Atomization inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root could improve clinical curative effect of lower respiratory tract infection after chemotherapy,and im-prove respiratory function,provent invasive fungal infections and has good clinical effect.
