Objective:To analyze the survival outcomes and prognostic factors of patients with ovarian carcino-sarcoma(OCS)based on SEER database.Methods:The data of 1285 OCS patients from 2000 to 2018 in SEER database were retrospectively analyzed.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the prognostic factors associated with overall survival(OS)and cancer specific survival(CSS).Kap-lan-Meier survival curve was drawn to evaluate the survival analysis of patients' prognosis after clinical treatment.Results:①The study cohort included a total of 1285 OCS patients,The mean age of these patients was 66.21±11.71 years.Most patients had already experienced regional(22.80％)or distant(72.22％)metastasis at the time of diagnosis.②Multivariate Cox regression revealed,SEER stage of regional or distant metastasis,no surger-y,no chemotherapy,and no lymphadenectomy were independent risk factors for both patient OS and CSS(HR＞1,P＜0.05).Age ≥67 years was an independent risk factor for OS(HR＞1,P＜0.05).Age ≥ 83 years was an in-dependent risk factors for CSS(HR＞1,P＜0.05).③Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that among surgical patients with adjacent tissue invasion or distant metastasis had significantly better overall survival rate after lymph node dissection than those without(P＜0.001);We didn't see the significantly different effects of lymphadenecto-my on patients with localized disease(P=0.266).Among all patients who underwent surgery,the overall survival rate of all patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery was significantly better than that of those who did not(P＜0.001).Conclusions:Prognosis of OCS patients is associated with age,SEER comprehensive stage,surgery status,chemotherapy status,lymphadenectomy status.Patients with OCS who underwent cytore-ductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy had a better prognosis.However,it is questionable whether lymph-adenectomy is necessary in OCS patients with very early stage.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of brain cord blood flow ultrasound combined with glucose metabolism indexes in the patients with preeclampsia(PE)complicated with fetal growth restriction(FGR).Methods This study was a prospective cohort case-control study.A total of 198 PE patients admitted to the hospital from January 2017 to January 2022 were collected and divided into group A(PE patients com-plicated with FGR,101 cases)and group B(PE patients without FGR,97 cases)according to whether they were complicated with FGR.45 pregnant women with healthy prenatal examination in the hospital were se-lected as group C,and the differences of brain cord blood flow ultrasound indexes and glucose metabolism inde-xes among the three groups and the efficiency for diagnosing PE complicated with FGR were analyzed.Results Fast-ing blood glucose and fasting insulin levels in group A,group B and group C were gradually decreased(P＜0.05).The peak systolic flow velocity/peak diastolic flow velocity(S/D),resistance index(RI)and pulsatility index(PI)of middle cerebral artery(MCA)of fetus in group A,group B and group C increased gradually(P＜0.05).The levels of umbilical artery(UA)of fetus in group A,group B and group C decreased gradually(P＜0.05).The area under the curve of fasting insulin,fasting blood glucose,S/D,RI and PI of MCA,S/D,RI,PI of UA and the combined detection were 0.782,0.748,0.765,0.836,0.805,0.758,0.811,0.795 and 0.895,respectively.The diagnostic efficiency of combined detection was higher than that of single diagnosis(Z=4.327,4.862,4.551,3.400,3.946,4.679,3.742,4.102,P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of glucose metabolism indexes and brain cord blood flow ultrasound indexes is of great value in the differential diagnosis of patients with PE complicated with FGR,and has good clinical application value.

This study aims to simultaneously detect three antibiotic resistance genes(blaNDM,mcr-1 and cfr).A triplex fluorescence quantitative PCR method was established.Plasmids,primers and probes were designed and optimized.The method could specifically detect blaNDM,mcr-1 and cfr,but not other antibiotic resistance genes.The R2 of the standard curves of the three antibiotic re-sistance genes were all greater than 0.999,and the coefficients of variation were all lower than 1％.The lowest detection limits of the plasmids were 1 × 102 copies/μL.This method was used to de-tect 800 bacterial samples.The results showed that 32 samples contained mcr-1 gene,40 samples contained blaNDM gene,2 samples contained cfr gene,8 samples contained both mcr-1 and blaNDM genes.There were no samples carrying three antibiotic resistance genes detected.The results indica-ted that the triplex fluorescence quantitative PCR method established in this experiment had the advantages of high sensitivity,specificity and stability.It was suitable for rapid detection of blaNDM,mcr-1 and cfr antibiotic resistance genes in clinical practice.It provided a convenient and quick method basis for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes.

Objective To investigate the association of liver radiodensity with the degree and progression of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 114 CHB patients who were hospitalized in The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January to December 2019,and related clinical data were collected,including laboratory tests and abdominal CT.The metabolic characteristics of the patients were assessed,and liver radiodensity was measured.An analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between three groups,and the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between three groups;the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between three groups.A logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for the degree of liver fibrosis,and the Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for the progression of liver fibrosis in CHB.Results Among the 114 patients enrolled,43(37.72％)had no liver cirrhosis,30(26.32％)were suspected of liver cirrhosis,and 41(35.96％)had liver cirrhosis,with a median follow-up time of 538.5(322.75-1 031.50)days.Liver radiodensity on plain scan(odds ratio[OR]=0.81,95％confidence interval[CI]:0.68-0.97,P=0.025),liver radiodensity on contrast-enhanced scan(OR=0.95,95％CI:0.90-0.99,P=0.037),and liver volume(OR=0.99,95％CI:0.98-0.99,P<0.001)were independent influencing factors for the degree of liver fibrosis.The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the low level of HDL(hazard ratio=2.81,95％CI:1.04-7.54,P=0.041)was associated with the progression of liver fibrosis in CHB patients,and the degree of liver fibrosis,liver volume,and liver radiodensity showed no significant association with the progression of liver fibrosis(all P>0.05).Conclusion In CHB patients,liver radiodensity is an independent influencing factor for the degree of liver fibrosis,and low HDL has a marked influence on the progression of liver fibrosis.

Objective:To analyze changes of donor corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and morphology from eye bank before and after keratolasty and the influencing factors.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 118 donor corneas, retrieved by the Shandong Province Eye Bank between July 2020 and June 2021 for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and endothelial keratoplasty (EK) were included.Among them, 99 corneas (83.90%) were used for PKP, and 19(16.10%) for EK.The basic information of donors and the results of corneal quality tests were analyzed and compared with ECD measured by endothelial microscopy one month after keratolasty.Morphological changes in endothelial cells before and after surgery were observed, and factors influencing corneal ECD and morphology were analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Eye Hospital (No.SDSYKYY20170319).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:Among the 99 donor corneas for PKP, there were statistically significant differences in preoperative donor corneal ECD and 1-month postoperative ECD of implant among different age groups ( F=18.136, 5.936; both P<0.01), which were lower in the 31-60-year-old group and the >60-year-old group than in the 0-30-year-old group and higher in the 31-60-year-old group than in the >60-year-old group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the preoperative donor corneal ECD among different donor cause of death groups ( F=4.524, P<0.01), which was higher in the traumatic accident group compared to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease group, chronic organ failure group and malignant tumor group (all P<0.01).The preoperative donor ECD in the death-tissue retrieval time ≤6 hours group was (2 577.66±284.63)cells/mm 2, which was higher than (2 372.46±399.75)cells/mm 2 in the death-tissue retrieval time >6 hours group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.289, P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in 1-month postoperative ECD among the preservation-surgery time ≤3 days, 3-6 days, and >6 days groups ( F=6.201, P<0.01), with higher ECD in preservation-surgery time ≤3 days groups than in 3-6 days and >6 days groups (both P<0.01).The preoperative donor corneal ECD applied to EK was significantly higher than that applied to PKP ( t=-2.660, P<0.01).ECD at 1 month after surgery applied to PKP was significantly higher than that applied to EK ( t=4.286, P<0.01).The ECD reduction rate was 7.14% (0.01%, 17.69%) and 31.07% (22.11%, 45.86%) in PKP group and EK group, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.969, P<0.01).The ECD was lower in the group with dark area than in the non-dark area group before PKP, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.789, P=0.011).There was no significant difference in ECD at 1 month after keratoplasty between the two groups ( t=0.005, P=0.945).Multivariate logistic regression model results showed that preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor were risk factors for the appearance of dark areas in donor corneal endothelium ( OR=9.038, P=0.030; OR=6.577, P=0.018). Conclusions:The older the donor, the lower the ECD.Prolonged preservation-surgery time (>6 days) is the main factor contributing to the decline in ECD after keratolasty.Compared to PKP, there is a higher endothelial cell loss after EK.The tissue preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor are the main risk factors affecting the appearance of dark areas in the donor corneal endothelium.But the presence of physiological dark areas does not significantly influence the ECD after surgery.
