Objective To observe the safety and the feasibility of biplane transrectal ultrasonography-guided transperineal biopsy for diagnosing women pelvic space-occupying lesions.Methods Data of 14 female patients with pelvic space-occupying lesions who underwent biplane transrectal ultrasonography-guided transperineal biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.The location of pelvic space-occupying lesions,the causes for not performing biopsy transabdominally nor transvaginally,the time consuming and complications of biplane transrectal ultrasonography-guided transperineal biopsy as well as pathological results were collected.Results Among 14 cases,there were 4 cases of rectum mass,3 cases of unilateral or bilateral ovaries masses,5 cases of cervix or lower uterus mass,1 case of mass at the lateral wall of the vagina and 1 case of mass at the posterior part of the bladder.Since vagina abnormalities including severe bleeding,fungal infections,deformities,edema or after vaginal resection,or deep location of lesions and high risk of intestinal tubes injuries,transabdominal or transvaginal puncturing and biopsy were not performed.The time consuming of puncturing and biopsy were(29.50±6.05)min.During the procedures,bleeding in the puncturing tract and vagal reflex occurred each in 1 case,while no obvious complication was observed during 6-month follow-up.Biopsy pathology reported 5 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,2 cases of high grade serous carcinoma,1 case of malignant melanoma,1 case of low grade serous carcinoma,1 case of adenocarcinoma and 1 case of spindle cell tumor,as well as 3 cases of chronic inflammation,all were consistent to post operation pathology or follow-up results.Conclusion Biplane transrectal ultrasonography-guided transperineal biopsy was safe and feasible for diagnosing women pelvic space-occupying lesions.

Objective:To assess the effect of Bolus materials(a material has the same effect with tissue)on dose distribution of electron beam radiotherapy on chest wall after surgery for breast cancer.Methods:Radiotherapy model of chest wall after modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer was constructed in this study.Based on the 6 MeV electron beam phase space file(PSF),which came from the International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA)official website,and the Geant4 Monte Carlo software package,the research calculated the dose distributions of the electron beam radiotherapy of 5 kinds of different materials included water,polystyrene,polylactic acid,glycerol and silica-gel in Bolus materials,and compared the differences of the dose distributions between chest wall and lung tissue.Results:The Bolus materials have a relatively minor effect on the depth of maximum dose(dmax)of electron beams on the chest wall.The dmax maximum difference that was caused by Bolus with 10mm thickness only was 2mm.The Bolus materials with 10mm thickness have a notable effect on dose distribution,particularly in the posterior edge of the chest wall and shallow lung tissue.The order of Bolus materials corresponding to the dose in the posterior edge of the chest wall,from large to small,was polystyrene,water,polylactic acid,silica-gel and glycerol.For Bolus materials with 5 mm thickness and 10 mm thickness,the dose differences were approximate 8%and 15%,respectively.In shallow lung tissue,the corresponding Bolus materials with doses from large to small were water,polystyrene,polylactic acid,silica-gel and glycerol.For Bolus materials with 5 mm thickness and 10 mm thickness,the maximum dose differences were approximate 50%and 70%,respectively.Conclusion:The effect of Bolus materials has larger effect on the dose distribution of electron beam radiotherapy on the chest wall.The reasonable selection of Bolus materials is contributed to ensure the dose of target region,and minimize dose deposition of lung tissue.

Background/Aims: The shortage of donor liver hinders the development of liver transplantation. This study aimed to clarify the poor outcomes of functionally marginal liver grafts (FMLs) and provide evidence for the improvement of ischemia-free liver transplantation (IFLT) after FML transplantation. Methods: Propensity score matching was used to control for confounding factors. The outcomes of the control group and FML group were compared to demonstrate the negative impact of FMLs on liver transplantation patients. We compared the clinical improvements of the different surgical types. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we conducted bioinformatic analysis based on transcriptome and single-cell profiles. Results: FMLs had a significantly greater hazard ratio (HR: 1.969, P=0.018) than did other marginal livers. A worse 90-day survival (Mortality: 12.3% vs. 5.0%, P=0.007) was observed in patients who underwent FML transplantation. Patients who received FMLs had a significant improvement in overall survival after IFLT (Mortality: 10.4% vs 31.3%, P=0.006). Pyroptosis and inflammation were inhibited in patients who underwent IFLT. The infiltration of natural killer cells was lower in liver grafts from these patients. Bulk transcriptome profiles revealed a positive relationship between IL-32 and Caspase 1 (R=0.73, P=0.01) and between IL-32 and Gasdermin D (R=0.84, P=0.0012). Conclusions FML is a more important negative prognostic parameter than other marginal liver parameters. IFLT might ameliorate liver injury in FMLs by inhibiting the infiltration of NK cells, consequently leading to the abortion of IL-32, which drives pyroptosis in monocytes and macrophages.

Reports a case admitted in the Ward I of Department of Surgery of Zhengzhou Renji Hospital in June 2017. A young child who suffered destructive injury of left forearm, wrist and palm with severed 3rd-5th fingers. Tendon and neurovascular repairs of forearm, wrist and palm were performed with pedicled abdomina flap and the 3rd-5th fingers ectopic replantation in Phase I surgery. In the Phase II surgery, the abdomina flap division was carried out. The replantation of severed fingers after ectopic replantation and the reconstruction of foot defect with free anterolateral thigh flap(ALTF) were carried out in Phase III surgery. In Phase IV surgery, fingers functional reconstruction and foot flap thinning were performed. Four years after surgery, the thumb oppositions to middle, ring and little fingers could be completed, with slightly limitations. The appearance and texture of transferred foot flap were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally.

Objective To explore the association of single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) in TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) locus with thyroid cancer risk in human. Methods Articles involved in the association between SNP in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus and thyroid cancer risk were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases, and studies which met the inclusion criteria were included. The meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and the assessment of publication-bias were performed by Stata 14. 0 software. The odds ratio ( OR) and their corresponding 95％ Confidence Intervals ( CI) were used to determine the strength of association between SNP in TP53 Arg72Pro locus and thyroid cancer risk. Results Thirteen case-control studies were eligible for this meta-analysis, including 2112 thyroid cancer cases and 4000 control subjects. Overall, mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus was associated with significantly increased thyroid cancer risk(Recessive model, OR=1.78, 95％CI 1.24-2.56, P=0.002), showing a significantly higher Pro mutation frequency among thyroid cancer patients ( Allelic model, OR=1. 35, 95％ CI 1. 12-1. 63, P=0.002). In the stratified analysis, mutated homozygous genotype (Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) locus was only asscociated with significantly increased thyroid cancer risk among Asians, but not among Europeans and South Americans;mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus was asscociated with significantly increased risk of papillary thyroid carcinomas ( PTC) among total population, but not medullary thyroid carcinomas. Conclusion There is a significant association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism in TP53 and thyroid cancer risk, and the mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in this locus of TP53 maybe a risk factor for thyroid carcinoma among Asians.

The 24 patients with kyphosis from January 2016 to January 2018 were diagnosed. All patients underwent kyphosis orthopedics, mainly spinal wedge osteotomy, to obtain orbital purpose by wedge osteotomy. The indexes of the spine form, activity, and pain were observed after operation. Of the 24 patients with kyphosis, 5 patients were treated conservatively, and the symptoms of kyphosis were effectively relieved. 19 patients underwent kyphosis orthopedic surgery, and the anterior spine and posterior closed osteotomy. The patients recovered well after surgery and were followed up regularly. The treatment of high anterior spine and posterior closed osteotomy in patients with kyphosis has accurate surgery effect. There are no complications such as pain and internal fixation during the regular follow-up.

Objective To report the results of lung transplantation using graft lungs from donation after citizens death.Methods The clinical data of lung transplantation between January 2016 and June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Totally 20 patients with end stage lung diseases underwent lung transplantation.Of the 20 patients,11 cases (55％) underwent single lung transplantation and 9 cases (45 ％) underwent bilateral lung transplantation.The top two diseases for lung transplantation were pulmonary fibrosis in 11 cases (55％) and emphysema in 6 cases (30％).Four cases (20％) were given intraoperative ECMO support.Median duration of postoperative intubation was 2 days:1 day for single lung transplantation and 4 days for bilateral lung transplantation,respectively.Acute rejections were diagnosed in 9 patients (45％) who were successfully treated with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone or methylprednisolone combined with anti-human thymocyte globulin.Postoperative pneumonia episodes occurred in 16 cases (80％)and 4 of them were associated fungal pneumonia.Preoperative sputum culture showed positive bacteria in 16 donors (80％) and 17 kinds of strains were identified.Postoperative sputum culture showed positive bacteria in 19 recipients and 4 of them had the same strains as compared with the corresponding donors.One recipient died of primary graft dysfunction in early term (＜ 1 month)postoperatively,two recipients abandoned treatments and died in 1 week after the discharge,and the remaining 17 cases successfully recovered.Median hospital duration was 55 days:35 days for single lung transplantation and 67 days for bilateral lung transplantation,respectively.Conclusion LLung transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage lung diseases.Carefully selecting donors,well protecting graft lung and proper peri-operative treatment are the key steps leading to successful lung transplantation using grafts from organ procurement organization.

Objective To investigate the value of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in the treatment of severe pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of 59 severe pneumonia infants who received NCPAP preferential ventilation strategy were retrospectively analyzed. Results After treatment, 50 infants were effective and 9 infants were ineffective. Before treatment, the age, RR, HR between effective group and ineffective group had no significant differences (P>0.05). But the levels of PaCO2, PaO2/FiO2 in ineffective group were significantly higher than those in effective group and the level of PaO2 in ineffective group was significantly lower than that in effective group (P<0.05). In effective group, the levels of PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly increased after treatment for 1, 12 and 24 h, and the levels of PaCO2, RR and HR were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusions NCPAP preferential ventilation strategy can reduce the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, improve oxygenation, ease dyspnea and make vital signs stable.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of concanavalin A (ConA)-induced acute immune liver injury in mice.Methods MSC were isolated and cultured from bone of the four limbs of three-week-old C57BL/6 mice.The specific surface markers were identified and osteogenic,adipogenic differentiation ability were tested.A total of 15 six to seven-week old C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group,MSC treatment group and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) treatment group,five mice in each group.The mice of MSC treatment group was injected through tail firstly with ConA and then MSC,PBS treatment group was injected through tail firstly with ConA and then PBS,control group was injected through tail with PBS twice.The mice were sacrificed in 14 to 16 hours after injection.The level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST) in peripheral blood were detected and the pathological change in liver tissue was scored by Knodell score system.Activation rate of splenic CD4+ T cells and the proportion changes of T hepler cell (Th)1,Th2,Th17 and regulatory T cells (Treg) were detected by flow cytometry and the ratio of Th17/Treg was calculated.The levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α),interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-4 in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Independent-sample t test was used for comparison between groups of measurement data.Results ALT,AST and Knodell score of MSC treatment group was (174.2± 46.9) U/L,(185.6± 71.6) U/L and 3.4±1.3,respectively,which were better than those of PBS treatment group ((647.0± 118.0) U/L,(749.0± 104.0) U/L and 5.2 ±0.8,respectively),and the differences were statically significant (t =8.33,9.98 and 2.55,all P＜0.05).The activation rate of splenic CD4+ T cell of PBS treatment group was (26.10±2.17) ％,the proportion of Th1 and Th2 in CD4+ T cell was (5.81±0.79) ％ and (5.98± 1.22)％,the ratio of Th17/Treg was 0.29±0.03,the levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL4 in peripheral blood were (1 281.95±88.61) U/L,(1 838.66±196.91) U/L and (1 192.36±163.94) U/L,which were higher than those of control group ((13.74±1.59)％,(1.35±0.17)％,(2.13±0.17)％,0.15± 0.05,(21.71±2.50) U/L,(11.84±1.28) U/L and (24.46±3.96) U/L),and the differences were statistically significant (t=10.26,12.37,7.02,5.30,31.79,15.93 and 20.75,all P＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in the activation rate of splenic CD4+T cell between MSC treatment group and PBS treatment group ((26.20±3.09)％ vs (26.10±2.17)％,P＞0.05).However,in MSC treatment group,the proportion of Th1 and Th2 in CD4+ T cell ((1.83±0.52) ％ and (2.75±1.06％)),the ratio of Th17/Treg (0.18±0.02) and the levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood ((760.71± 73.19) U/L,(742.49±76.46) U/L and (825.76±101.74) U/L) significantly decreased compared with those of PBS treatment group,and the differences were statistically significant (t=9.45,4.48,6.41,10.14,5.56 and 10.22,all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the ratio of Th17/Treg between MSC treatment group and control group (P＞0.05).Conclusions The therapeutic effects of MSC on ConA induced acute immune liver injury were through influence splenic CD4+ T cell subsets by decreasing the proportion of Th1 and Th2 and then declining the levels of secreted cytokines such as TNF,IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood,increasing the proportion of Treg and decreasing the proportion of Th17 and keeping the balance of Th17/Treg.
