Objective:To compare the efficacy of surgical resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment for China liver cancer staging (CNLC) Ia hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at difficult-to-reach locations.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 114 patients with CNLC Ia HCC at Ⅶ、Ⅷ、Ⅳb or Ⅰ segments that were difficult-to-reach locations who were admitted to People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2018 to December 2023. Among the patients, 85 were males and 29 were females, aged (58.1±1.0) years. The patients were divided into two groups: a RFA group with 31 cases and a surgical resection group with 83 cases. Compare the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) before and after surgery, the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence free survival rate, and cumulative survival rate between the two groups.Results:The comparison of age, gender, ALT, and AST between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). The differences in ALT and AST levels before and after surgery in the RFA group were (134.8±38.7) U/L and (195.1±53.9) U/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the surgical resection group [(226.8±17.9) U/L and (229.5±16.2) U/L] ( t=-2.45 and -1.12, P=0.016 and 0.041). The RFA group had shorter operation time [(69.2±11.7) min vs. (210.6±8.9) min], less intraoperative blood loss [(8.7±3.8) ml vs. (238.6±20.8) ml], and shorter postoperative hospital stays [(6.4±1.0) d vs. (13.1±0.4) d] compared to the surgical resection group, with all differences statistically significant (all P<0.05). The overall complication rates were 19.4% (6/31) in the RFA group and 22.9% (19/83) in the surgical resection group, showing no significant difference ( χ2=0.16, P=0.685). No statistically significant diffe-rence was found in recurrence-free survival rates between the two groups ( χ2=0.13, P=0.717). Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference in cumulative survival rates between the groups ( χ2<0.01, P=0.978). Conclusion:For HCC at CNLC Ⅰa in challenging locations, RFA demonstrated shorter operation time and postoperative hospital stay, less intraoperative bleeding, and superior liver function recovery compared with surgical resection, while no significant difference was observed in survival outcomes between the two treatment groups.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the treatment outcomes of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and to explore the risk factors affecting these outcomes, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in the corps region. Methods　TB patients registered in the Corps from 2016 to 2022 were selected, and the basic demographic and clinical data of the research objects were collected by retrospective method. Log-rank test was used for univariate analysis and the Cox multivariate regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of treatment outcomes of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Results　From 2016 to 2022, a total of 8 838 TB patients were registered in the TB Management Information System of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, of which 495 cases were untreated, 43 cases had changed diagnoses, 301 cases had no treatment outcomes, 6 cases were diagnosed as extrapulmonary tuberculosis, 11 cases were diagnosed as tracheobronchial tuberculosis, and finally 7 982 TB patients were included in the study. Of the 7 982 patients, 7 578 (94.94%) were treated successfully, while 404 (5.06%) had adverse outcomes (including 32 cases of failure, 13 cases of TB death, 173 cases of non-TB death, 12 cases lost to follow-up, 94 cases of adverse reactions, 10 cases transferred to multi-drug resistance treatment, and 70 other cases). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the >30 to 60-year-old and >60-year-old age groups (OR=1.565, P=0.009; OR=2.960, P<0.001), belonging to ethnic minorities (OR=1.526, P<0.001), being a patients with diabetes mellitus (OR=1.696, P=0.002), current address being in other areas of the province or patients from other provinces (OR=1.419, P=0.004; OR=1.624, P=0.001), receiving retreatment (OR=1.910, P<0.001), and absence of primary care management (OR=1.351, P=0.003) were the risk factors for unsuccessful treatment outcomes in the corps' pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Conclusions　The treatment success rate of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the Corps region is relatively high, but there is still a need to strengthen the treatment and management of the elderly, ethnic minorities, diabetes patients, non-local floating population, retreatment patients and patients who did not receive primary management.

Objective Trichophyton rubrum strains can cause superficial infection and also deep tissue infection, but relevant animal model has not been reported yet.The aim of this study was to construct an animal model of granuloma infected by T.rubrum. Methods Three T.rubrum strains isolated from clinical granuloma tissues, 2 T.rubrum strains isolated from tinea infection and a standard strain of ATCCMYA4438 were selected.Corticosteroids were given to the Balb/C mice before and after the injection of the T. rubrum and mucin suspension and the mice model of granuloma was established.Direct microcopy, culture and histopathologic method were adopt to verify the infection effects. Results The mice inoculated with the T.rubrum granuloma strains with mucin suspension were examined after 21 days in the condition of applying appropriate dose of glucocorticoids.Direct microscopic examination showed the slender mycelium, fungal culture showed the growth of colony and histopathology showed excessive keratinization of foot tissue, formation of granuloma in the dermis with inflammatory cell infiltration of neutro-philic granulocyte and lymphocytes.However, the mice inoculated with the T.Rubrum tinea strains with mucin suspension showed the negative result. Conclusion The rubrum granuloma mice model can be es-tablished using the clinical isolates of T.rubrum granuloma strains with the mucin and glucocorticoids interventions.

To study the effect of Tibetan medicine Zuotai on the activity, protein and mRNA expression of CYP1A2 and NAT2, three different doses (1.2, 3.8 and 12 mg x kg(-1)) of Zuotai were administrated orally to rats once a day or once daily for twelve days, separately. Rats were administrated orally caffeine (CF) on the second day after Zuotai administration, and the urine concentration of CF metabolite 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyl-uracil (AFMU), 1-methyluric acid (1U), 1-methylxanthine (1X), 1, 7-dimethylxanthine (17U) at 5 h after study drug administration was determined by RP-HPLC. The activity of CYP1A2 and NAT2 was evaluated by the ratio of metabolites (AFMU+1X+1U)/17U and the ratio of AFMU/(AFMU+1X+1U), respectively. The protein and mRNA expression of CYP1A2 and NAT2 were determined by ELISA and RT-PCR method, respectively. After single administration of Zuotai 3.8 mg x kg(-1) and repeated administration of Zuotai 3.8 and 12 mg x kg(-1), the activity of CYP1A2 and NAT2 decreased significantly compared with control group and there was no significant difference between other dose group and control group. The protein expression of CYP1A2 was significant lower than that in control group after repeated administration of Zuotai 12 mg x kg(-1), and the mRNA expression of CYP1A2 decreased significantly compared with that of control group after single administration of Zuotai 3.8 mg x kg(-1) and repeated admistration of Zuotai 12 mg x kg(-1), separately. The protein expression of NAT2 decreased significantly compared with that of control group after single and repeated administration of Zuotai 3.8 mg x kg(-1), respectively, and the mRNA expression of CYP1A2 decreased significantly compared with control group after single administration of Zuotai 3.8 mg x kg(-1). This study found that Tibetan medicine Zuotai had significant effect on the activity, protein and mRNA expression of CYP1A2 and NAT2.

This study is to investigate the effect of high altitude hypoxia on the activity and protein expression of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. Rats from plain (P) and rats with acute middle altitude hypoxia (AMH), chronic middle altitude hypoxia (CMH), acute high altitude hypoxia (AHH) and chronic high altitude hypoxia (CHH) were administered orally phenytoin sodium (PHT) and omeprazole (OMZ) to evaluate the activity of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, separately. The serum concentrations of PHT and metabolite 4'-hydroxyphenytoin (HPPH) at 12 h after treatment and the serum concentrations of OMZ and metabolite 5-hydroxy omeprazole (5-OHOMZ) at 3 h after treatment were determined by RP-HPLC. The activity of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 was evaluated by the ratio of HPPH to PHT and the ratio of 5-OHOMZ to OMZ, respectively. The protein expressions of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 were determined by ELISA method. The activities of CYP2C9 (HPPH/PHT) in P, AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were 0.67 +/- 0.31, 0.75 +/- 0.29, 0.76 +/- 0.23, 0.79 +/- 0.31 and 0.75 +/- 0.18, respectively, and the activities of CYP2C19 (5-OHOMZ/OMZ) in P, AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were 0.17 +/- 0.06, 0.20 +/- 0.10, 0.11 +/- 0.05, 0.37 +/- 0.13 and 0.19 +/- 0.05, respectively. The protein expressions of CYP2C9 in P, AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were 4.20 +/- 1.27, 3.95 +/- 0.81, 3.93 +/- 1.11, 4.32 +/- 1.03 and 4.12 +/- 0.86 ng x g(-1), respectively, and the protein expressions of CYP2C19 in P, AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were 3.91 +/- 1.82, 3.63 +/- 2.07, 2.55 +/- 0.85, 4.78 +/- 2.37 and 3.51 +/- 1.03 ng x g(-1), respectively. The activities and protein expressions of CYP2C9 in AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were not significantly different with those of P. The protein expressions of CYP2C19 in AMH, CMH, AHH and CHH were not significantly different with those of P, but the activity of CYP2C19 in AHH was significantly higher than that of P. This study found significant changes in the activity of CYP2C19 under the special environment of acute high altitude hypoxia.
