In order to understand the infection and molecular genetic characteristics of goose astro-virus(GAstV)in Hotan,Xinjiang,visceral organs and swabs of dead goslings were collected asep-tically from three goose farms in Hotan,Yutian and Pashan counties,and GAstV was detected by RT-PCR.The positive samples were screened and identified in LMH cells,and the whole genome was sequenced,and the genetic characteristics of the isolates were analyzed.The results showed that the total positive rate of GAstV was 11.25%(65/578).Two strains of GAstV named as GAstV/XJHT-1 and GAstV/XJHT-2 were isolated and the lengths of their genome sequences were determined as 7 190 bp and 7 125 bp,respectively.Whole genome homology analysis showed that the homology of the two isolates with GAstV-1 and GAstV-2 was higher than 95%,and the homology with other sources(chicken,duck,and turkey)ranged from 54.1%to 61.5%.Genetic e-volution analysis showed that the genetic distance between GAstV isolates from Henan and Anhui was relatively close,suggesting that the isolated GAstV may be related to the introduction of gos-lings or goose eggs from these two places.The findings provide a basis for further development of vaccines or control products.

Objective:To investigate the transcriptomic mechanisms and clinical efficacy of D-CAG regimen for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after failure to initial induction of remission.Methods:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of dexitabine before August 28, 2021 was searched in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with "decitabine" as the search term. The R language package was used for differential expression analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the data. Protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis was conducted on the STRING online analysis website. The accurate treatment prediction platform designed based on logistic omics theory (EpiMed) was used to make drug-disease-target correlation analysis. The clinical data of 18 AML patients treated with D-CAG regimen after failure to induction of remission with standard anthracycline and cytarabine regimen ("3+7" regimen) in the 305th Hospital of Chinese PLA from October 8, 2015 to July 9, 2018 were searched and analyzed, and the curative effect was evaluated. The effects of the dose and duration of each drug on the efficacy were analyzed.Results:The transcriptome data of AML cells before and after the use of decitabine in GSE40442 dataset of the GPL5188 platform were finally selected, updated on July 10, 2014. A total of 366 differentially expressed genes were screened, including 201 up-regulated genes and 165 down-regulated genes. The differential genes were mainly related to cell cycle regulation, bone marrow leukocyte migration and differentiation, transcriptional regulation, bone marrow hematopoiesis and other signaling pathways. Ten core genes such as ANXA5, IL-10, THBS1, TLR4, JUN and CXCL12 were screened by PPI analysis. Drug-disease-target analysis showed that dexitabine had a potential therapeutic effect on various blood diseases such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, thrombocytopenia, T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, aplastic anemia, and AML. Of the 18 patients, after initial induction of remission, 7 (38.8%) patients achieved partial remission (PR), and 11 (61.2%) patients had no response (NR); after one cycle of re-induction remission therapy, 9 patients had complete remission (CR), 5 patients had PR, 4 patients had NR, and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.8% (14/18). Compared with patients with NR, the CR rate was higher in patients with PR after initial induction therapy, which were 85.7% (6/7) and 27.3% (3/11), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.84, P = 0.025). The median duration of cytarabine in CR patients was longer than that in NR patients [10 d (7-14 d) vs. 5 d (2-8 d), Z = 3.89, P = 0.002] and the median ratio of the number of bone marrow blast cells to the duration cytarabine was lower in CR patients than that in NR patients [2.29 (0.89-9.10) vs. 8.10 (3.00-38.50), Z = -2.19, P = 0.006]; the median dose of cytarabine in CR patients was lower than NR patients, which were 50 mg·m -2·d -1 (30-150 mg·m -2·d -1) and 100 mg·m -2·d -1 (50-500 mg·m -2·d -1), and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z = -1.80, P = 0.074). Conclusions:AML patients with PR after initial induction and failure to initial induction of remission may be more likely to achieve CR after the treatment of D-CAG regimen, and this change may be related to the epigenetic regulation of decitabine.

Objective:To characterize the histopathological subtypes and their clinicopathological parameters of gender and onset age by common, rare and sparse primary esophageal malignant tumors (PEMT).Methods:A total of 272 437 patients with PEMT were enrolled in this study, and all of the patients were received radical surgery. The clinicopathological information of the patients was obtained from the database established by the State Key Laboratory of Esophageal Cancer Prevention & Treatment from September 1973 to December 2020, which included the clinical treatment, pathological diagnosis and follow-up information of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers. All patients were diagnosed and classified by the criteria of esophageal tumor histopathological diagnosis and classification (2019) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The esophageal tumors, which were not included in the WHO classification, were analyzed separately according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. The χ 2 test was performed by the SPSS 25.0 software on count data, and the test standard α=0.05. Results:A total of 32 histopathological types were identified in the enrolled PEMT patients, of which 10 subtypes were not included in the WHO classification. According to the frequency, PEMT were divided into common (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC, accounting for 97.1%), rare (esophageal adenocarcinoma, EAC, accounting for 2.3%) and sparse (mainly esophageal small cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., accounting for 0.6%). All the common, rare, and sparse types occurred predominantly in male patients, and the gender difference of rare type was most significant (EAC, male∶ female, 2.67∶1), followed with common type (ESCC, male∶ female, 1.78∶1) and sparse type (male∶ female, 1.71∶1). The common type (ESCC) mainly occurred in the middle thoracic segment (65.2%), while the rare type (EAC) mainly occurred in the lower thoracic segment (56.8%). Among the sparse type, malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were both predominantly located in the lower thoracic segment (51.7%, 66.7%), and the others were mainly in the middle thoracic segment.Conclusion:ESCC is the most common type among the 32 histopathological types of PEMT, followed by EAC as the rare type, and esophageal small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma as the major sparse type, and all of which are mainly occur in male patients. The common type of ESCC mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment, while the rare type of EAC mainly in the lower thoracic segment. The mainly sparse type of malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma predominately occur in the lower thoracic segment, and the remaining sparse types mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of transplantation of turbocharged bipedicle deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap in breast reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective observational study was used. From December 2008 to December 2016, 24 patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Hunan Cancer Hospital, all patients were female, aged 28-51 (36.5±1.6) years. All cases received turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flap for two-staged breast reconstruction. According to the patterns of turbocharged vessels anastomosis, the turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flaps with length of (27.5±0.3) cm and width of (12.8±1.4) cm, were divided into three types: distal end of pedicle anastomosis type, main branch of pedicle anastomosis type, and muscular branch of pedicle anastomosis type. After complete hemostasis in the donor region, the anterior sheath was repaired with intermittent suture, and umbilical reconstruction was completed. Two negative pressure drainage tubes were indwelled, and subcutaneous tissue and skin were sutured layer by layer. The specific ways of vascular anastomosis of the flap pedicle with the internal thoracic vessels of recipient site included anastomosing the proximal end of one artery and one vein, anastomosing the proximal and distal end of one artery and one vein, and anastomosing the proximal end of one artery and two veins. Postoperatively, the survival and blood supply of flaps were observed. The patients were followed up to observe the reconstructed breast shape satisfaction, donor site complications, abdominal wall function, and scar hyperplasia.Results:All turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flaps for two-staged breast reconstruction survived well, with good blood supply. During follow-up for 14 to 56 (20±6) months, the shape of reconstructed breasts was satisfied. Only linear scar was left in the donor sites of abdomen with no complications, and the function of abdominal wall was not affected.Conclusions:For patients with clear indications, transplantation of free turbocharged bipedicle DIEP flap is a safe, reliable, and satisfactory choice for breast reconstruction with autologous tissue.
