OBJECTIVE To explore emergency airway opening methods for patients with dyspnea caused by tumor related cervical tracheal stenosis,and summarize safe and effective emergency management methods for such patients.METHODS Retrospectively collect cases of dyspnea caused by tumor invasion or wrapping around the cervical trachea treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2012 and December 2023,analyze the process or method of emergency airway opening,and summarize the safe and effective airway opening methods for such patients.RESULTS A total of 31 cases were collected,including 25 cases of thyroid malignant tumors invading the cervical trachea(18 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer,5 cases of thyroid lymphoma,1 case of undifferentiated cancer,and 1 case of medullary cancer),3 cases of cervical tracheal recurrence after laryngeal cancer surgery,2 cases of primary tumors in the cervical trachea,1 case of cervical esophageal cancer,24 cases of grade II dyspnea upon admission,6 cases of grade III dyspnea,and 1 case of grade IV dyspnea.The methods of airway opening are as follows:20 cases underwent tumor resection and tracheotomy under anesthesia intubation and general anesthesia,6 cases underwent longitudinal downward tracheostomy with the larynx as the landmark,2 cases underwent midline tumor resection with the chin and sternum as the landmark to expose the trachea,2 cases underwent emergency tracheotomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)support,and 1 case underwent tracheotomy with extracorporeal circulation machine support.All patients successfully opened their airways without serious complications such as major bleeding,asphyxia,or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.CONCLUSION For patients with tumor induced cervical tracheal stenosis that is difficult to expose the trachea using conventional methods and requires emergency airway opening,the anesthesiology department can first evaluate whether a small tracheal tube can be inserted for general anesthesia before tracheotomy.If intubation is difficult,the airway can be opened by longitudinally splitting the cricoid cartilage or the anterior wall of the trachea,marked by the larynx.If the larynx is covered or wrapped by tumors and cannot be exposed,the midline marked by the chin and suprasternal fossa can be used to remove a portion of the tumor and expose the trachea,followed by longitudinally splitting the anterior wall of the trachea to open the airway.If the above methods are difficult to operate,it is feasible to remove the tumor under general anesthesia with extracorporeal circulation or ECMO support,expose the trachea,and open the airway.

Objective: To understand the homosexual behavior and related factors among married MSM in Mianyang city. Methods: Between January and October in 2017, a snowball sampling method was adopted to carry out cross-sectional survey through questionnaires plus HIV testing among those MSM in Mianyang city. Logistic regression model was used to analyze homosexual behaviors and related factors among married MSM under study. Statistical analysis was used by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 19.0 software. Results: A total of 234 MSM participated in this survey. The overall rate of homosexual behavior in these married MSM appeared as 94.9% (222/234). Rate of having anal sex behavior was 94.4% (221/234) in the past 6 months, with rate of condom use as 57.9% (128/221). HIV positive rate was 8.1% (18/222). As for the motives for homosexual behavior after marriage, 87.8% (195/222) were driven by feelings of love, 12.2% (27/222) due to 'releasing pressure’. Proportion of male sex partners would include occasional sex partners (62.2%, 138/222), stable male sex partners (26.1%, 58/222) and stable boyfriends (11.7%, 26/222). Factors from logistic regression analysis showed that homosexual behaviors were related to the factors including education level of senior high school or above vs. education level of junior middle school or below (OR=3.65, 95%CI: 1.33-9.98); local residency over one year vs. the ones having local residency less than one year (OR=23.28, 95%CI:1.67-324.89); having 10 or more friends in the MSM community vs. having below 10 friends in MSM community (OR=4.15, 95%CI: 1.28-13.43); without sex pleasure with spouse vs. having sex pleasure with spouse (OR=3.25, 95%CI: 1.22-8.62); having 2 or more anal sex partners in the past 6 months vs. having less than 2 anal sex partners in the past 6 months (OR=0.28,95%CI: 0.09-0.81). Conclusions The rate of homosexual behavior and HIV positive rate were high among MSM in Mianyang city. Homosexual behaviors after marriage were influenced by multiple factors among MSM. The motives of homosexual behavior after marriage were driven by feelings of love, the related factors were education level of senior high school or above, local residency over one year, having 10 or more friends in the MSM community and without sex pleasure with spouse. As for the motives of these behaviors was caused by releasing pressure, the related factors was having more than 2 anal sex partners.

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the effects of Kangfuxin liquid on repairing cartilage defect model of knee osteoarthritis （KOA） in rabbits and its mechanism. METHODS： Totally 72 male New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into model control group and Kangfuxin low-dose， medium-dose， high-dose groups， with 18 rabbits in each group. A cartilage defect model of the medial femoral condyle of the right knee joint in rabbits was established by drilling after anesthesia surgery. Then the rabbits in each group were given medicine via articular cavity immediately. Kangfuxin low-dose， middle-dose and high-dose groups were given 20％， 40％， 80％ Kangfuxin liquid； model control group was given constant volume of normal saline consecutively， 0.2 mL/kg， once every 3 days. At 4th， 8th， 12th week after medication， the wound repair of cartilage defect in rabbits was observed. Immediately after medication and at 4th， 8th， 12th week after medication， repaired tissue of cartilage defect in rabbits was scored histologically with Wakitani scoring standard under light microscope. At 12th week after medication， pathological changes of repaired tissue of cartilage defect in rabbits were observed by Masson staining. The levels of NO， SOD and LPO in joint fluid and PYD in urine of rabbits were detected by ELISA. RESULTS： At 4th， 8th， 12th week after medication， compared with model control group， cartilage defects in rabbits were repaired well in Kangfuxin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups. At 4th， 8th， 12th week after medication， compared with immediately after medication and model control group at same time point， histomorphological score of repairing cartilage defect of knee joint in rabbits decreased significantly in Kangfuxin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）. At 12th week after medication， compared with model control group， the histopathology degree of cartilage defect of knee joint in rabbits was significantly alleviated in Kangfuxin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups. At 4th， 8th， 12th week after medication， compared with model control group， the levels of NO and LPO in joint fluid and PYD level in urine were decreased to different extent in Kangfuxin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups， while SOD level was increased to different extent； at 12th week after medication， the difference of each index has statistical significance （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS： Kangangxin liquid can significantly repair cartilage defect of KOA cartilage defect model rabbits， the mechanism of which may be associated with increasing the expression of SOD and mediating NO-inhibited chondrocyte apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Toll-like receptor2 (TLR2) gene promoter region -597T/C polymorphism and primary ANCA associated small vasculitis (AAV) in Guangxi Han people. Methods A case contrastive control study was adopted in the study. Patients with AAV (patients group, n=110) and healthy people (control group, n = 200) were recruited. Associated serum indexes were detected and polymorphisms of TLR2 gene promoter 597T/C were analyzed by polymerase chain restricted fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). Results (1)Three TLR2-597T/C genotypes were discovered in 110 AAV patients, namely, TT, TC and CC, with the frequency of 54.55%,40.00% and 5.45% respectively. And the frequencies of allele T and C were 74.55% and 25.45%. In control group, the genotype frequencies of TT, TC and CC were 56.00%,40.50% and 3.50%, with 76.25% of allele T and 23.75% of allele C. No significant differences were found in neither genotype distribution nor allele frequencies between the patients group and control group ( P > 0 . 05 ) . ( 2 ) Significant differences were found in the incidence of proteinuria rate and the hemoglobin (P< 0.05)in AAV patients. (3)There was no significant difference between AI and CI in TT, TC and CC genotype in AAV patients. Conclusions Polymorphism of TLR2-597T/C may be correlated with the incidence of proteinuria and the level of hemoglobin, while no obvious correlation with the genetic susceptibility of ANCA in vasculitis patients of Guangxi Han people.

Objective To investigate the correspond of microsatellite instability (MSI) on the prognosis and the effect of chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.Methods The publications about the MSI of colorectal cancer from January 2011 to October 2012 were searched.The Web of Knowledge and MEDLINE (PubMed) databases were used for searching English articles.The CNKI and WanFang databases were used for searching Chinese articles.Statistical analysis and graphics were performed with Comprehensive Meta Analysis V2 software.Results Thirty papers were included in this study.For the prognostic Meta-analysis,MSI-H was a protective factor for the overall survival of patients (OR =0.634,0.558-0.720; P ＜ 0.001).Simultaneously,MSI-H was a protective factor for the disease-free survival of patients (OR =0.571,0.479-0.681; P ＜ 0.001).After using of 5-Fu,the survival rate of MSS/MSI-L patients could be significantly elevated (OR =0.515,0.433-0.611; P ＜ 0.001).However,the survival rate of MSI-H patients did not increase significantly (0.631,0.302-1.318; P =0.220).Conclusions Both the overall survival and disease-free survival of MSI-H patients were significantly better than that of MSS/MSI-L patients.For MSS/MSI-L patients,the chemotherapy effect was remarkable.However,for MSI-H patients,there was no statistics difference between chemotherapy and no-chemotherapy group.
