Objective To quantitatively measure the density of hydroxyapatite(HAP)(water)within lumbar vertebral bodies using the gemstone spectral imaging(GSI)material decomposition technique and to compare and analyze the clinical significance of density variations of HAP(water)in different regions of L1-L3 vertebral bodies.Methods A total of 242 patients who underwent lumbar quantitative computed tomography(QCT)scans via utilizing the GSI technique were selected.Following the scans,the HAP(water)density values in four regions(anterosuperior,posterosuperior,anteroinferior,and posteroinferior)of each L1-L3 vertebral bodies were quantitatively measured using the material decomposition technique.Based on the QCT results,all cases were divided into three groups of normal bone mineral density,osteopenia,and osteoporosis.The distributions of HAP(water)density values in the four regions within each vertebral body were compared and analyzed among the groups.Results In all three groups of patients,the highest HAP(water)density values in the L1-L3 vertebral bodies were all located in the posteroinferior region,followed by the posterosuperior region.In the normal bone mineral density group,the lowest HAP(water)density values was found in the anterosuperior region of the L1 vertebral body.In the osteopenia and osteoporosis groups,the lowest HAP(water)density values was found in the anteroinferior region of the L1-L3 vertebral bodies.Conclusion Significant differences in HAP(water)density are present across different regions within lumbar vertebral bodies,which may be related to the development of vertebral osteoporosis and the location of fractures.

ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi， so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi， and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor（RRF） and three internal standards， and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose， and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data， and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor alysis（DFA）， soft independent modeling of class analogies（SIMCA） and statistical quality control analysis（SQCA）. ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi， of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components， the contents of five components（ethyl isovalerate， 2-pentylfuran， benzyl alcohol， nonanal and glacial acetic acid，） in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part（P<0.01）， the contents of β-ionone， patchouli alcohol， α-caryophyllene， linalyl butyrate， valencene， 1，8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part（P<0.01）. Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82， and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted， respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%， the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99， and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose（PCA， DFA， SIMCA and SQCA） can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results， it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Severe acute dichlorvos poisoning is characterized by rapid onset, swift disease progression and serious complications. It frequently involves multiple organ failure (central, respiratory and circulatory systems), severe acidosis, and rare occurrences of gastric perforation. When secondary gastric perforation occurs, treatment becomes difficult and the prognosis of patients is poor. Thus, early and sufficient gastrointestinal decontamination is crucial. This article presented two cases of gastric perforation secondary to dichlorvos poisoning and discussed the causes of gastric perforation, as well is clinical diagnostic and treatment methods.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Toumai ? endoscopic robotic system in radical prostatectomy. Methods:This study was a single-center phase Ⅲ randomized controlled study. From June 2020 to January 2021, patients with prostate cancer who met the inclusion criteria in Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Naval Military Medical University were divided into the experimental group and the control group by random table method. Inclusion criteria included aged 18 to 80 years, pathologically diagnosed as prostate cancer, clinical stage ≤T 2N 0M 0. Exclusion criteria included patients requiring emergency surgery, having serious cardiovascular diseases and cannot tolerate surgery, having participated in other investigational drug or device clinical trials within the last 3 months. The experimental group used Toumai ? laparoscopic robotic system, and the continence group used the Da Vinci robotic system. The patients in both groups underwent radical prostatectomy via a transabdominal approach, which was performed by two surgeons. The clinical characteristics between the two groups were compared, related adverse events were recorded, and PSA and urinary continence were followed up one month after the operation. Results:A total of 44 patients were enrolled in this study, including 22 cases in the experimental group and 22 cases in the control group. The mean age of patients in the trial group and the control group was (67.7±7.5) years and (66.4±6.3) years, respectively. The median PSA at diagnosis was 10.5 (7.7, 23.7) ng/ ml and 13.5 (8.9, 24.7) ng/ ml, respectively. Biopsy Gleason score of 6, 7, 8 and 9 in experimental group were 13.6% (3/22), 68.2% (15/22), 4.5% (1/22) and 13.6% (3/22), respectively, and in the control group were 4.5% (1/22), 59.1% (13/22), 22.7% (5/22) and 13.6% (3/22) respectively. The middle risk and high risk group in the experimental group was 50.0% (11/22), 50.0% (11/22), and the control group was 36.4% (8/22), 63.6% (14/22). There was no statistical difference between the two groups.The operations in both groups were successfully performed. There were no conversions to open or laparoscopic surgeries, and no Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲcomplications. There was no significant difference in the estimated blood loss during the operation [(109.1±51.6)ml vs.(94.5±51.6)ml] and the blood transfusion rate [9.1%(2/22)vs. 4.5%(1/22)] in both groups. The operation time was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group [164.5(130.5, 214.3) min vs. 88.0(65.3, 110.5)min, P<0.001]. The positive rate of surgical margin was 13.6% (3/22) in the experimental group and 36.4% (8/22) in the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference. The pathologic stages of pT 2, pT 3a and pT 3bin experimental group were 63.6% (14/22), 13.6% (3/22) and 22.7% (5/22), respectively, while those in control group were 36.3% (8/22), 40.9% (9/22) and 22.7% (5/22), respectively, showing no significant difference. The recovery rates of urine control in the experimental group and the control group were 22.7% (5/22) and 22.7% (5/22), respectively. The median PSA in the experimental group and the control group were 0.055 (0.021, 0.103) ng/ ml and 0.032 (0.010, 0.089) ng/ ml, respectively, with no statistical difference. Conclusions:The Toumai ? endoscopic robotic system can successfully perform radical prostatectomy, based on insignificant difference from Da Vinci robotic system in safety and efficacy. The short-term follow-up showed that tumor control and urinary continence have recovered well in the test group. The long-term effect of the new system on tumor control and functional recovery after radical prostatectomy needs further multi-center studies.

TORCH, which is considered as a series of pathogens, including the Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus or Herpes simplex virus, often infects the pregnant women to induce the the fetus or newborn infection by transplacental infection or exposure to contaminated genital tract secretions at delivery. Increasing evidence have been confirmed that the infection of TORCH may cause the miscarriage, premature birth, malformed fetus, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, neonatal multiple organ dysfunction and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. For most TORCH-infections cases may lacking the effective treatments during pregnancy, and it is important to achieve the effacing monitoring of TORCH infections before and during pregnancy. The laboratory testing of TORCH has the great significance. However, the consensus opinions still need to improve the the standardization of TORCH testing process and the correct interpretation. Based on the characteristics of the TORCH detection method, this article gives a consensus opinion on the standardized detection and clinical application of TORCH from the laboratory perspective according to the characteristics and types of infection of different pathogens.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofFufang Shenlu Granule for kidney-yang deficiency aplastic anemia (AA) and its effects on CD4+ T lymphocyte subsets, and explore its mechanism.Methods Forty AA patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 20 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated withFufang Shenlu Granule combined with conventional western medicine therapy, while the control group was only treated with conventional western medicine therapy. The treatment lasted for 6 months, and follow-up visits lasted for at least one year. The clinical efficacy and T lymphocyte subsets ratio changes before and after treatment in the two groups were observed.Results The clinical efficacy of treatment group was better than that of control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the blood cell counts of the two groups were improved than those of before treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). After treatment, the red blood cell count and hemoglobin of treatment group were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). Compared with the data before treatment in treatment group, the ratio of CD4+CD25+ cells in all CD4+ cells, and the ratio of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ cells in all CD4+CD25+ cells increased (P<0.05); the ratio of Th1 and Th2 cells in all CD3+CD4+ decreased (P<0.05). The ratio of Th2 cells was lower than that before treatment in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionFufang Shenlu Granule can enhance the treatment efficiency of AA with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome. The mechanism may be related to the decrease of Th1 cells, the increase of CD4+CD25+Tregs and their FoxP3 expression.
