Objective To conduct hazard vulnerability analysis(HVA)in a blood bank,aimed to identify high-risk e-vents and optimize emergency management measures.Methods The risk event evaluation index system was established by referring to the Kaiser model and the situation of Guangzhou Blood Center,and risk events were ranked by risk matrix and Borda count.Results The top five events with the highest risk values identified by Kaiser model were information system e-mergencies(39.61％),extreme weather(38.03％),major public sentiment(37.86％),public health events(37.37％)and policy changes(37.24％).The results of risk matrix and Borda count revealed 1 extremely high-risk indicator as information system emergency,5 high-risk indicators with the highest risk being major public sentiment,11 medium-risk indicators with the highest risk being major medical disputes and 1 low-risk indicator as external fires.Conclusion Conducting HVA in combination with the actual situation of blood banks can effectively identify high-risk events and provide theoretical basis for improving emergency management measures.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy （DPN） is one of the common complications of diabetes. The disease has a long course with nerve pain and other symptoms， seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. DPN is related to high glucose in vivo， inflammation， oxidative stress， apoptosis， and autophagy， involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， and other signaling pathways. At present， the treatment of DPN mainly focuses on symptomatic treatments such as blood glucose control and neurotrophic therapy， but the effect is not ideal. Therefore， it is particularly important to select a reasonable and effective drug to prevent and treat DPN. In recent years， Chinese medicine has played an important role in the treatment of DPN. Many studies have explored the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of DPN， and it has been found that some Chinese medicine monomers and compounds can regulate signaling pathways to prevent and treat DPN. This paper reviewed the research results of signaling pathways involved in DPN and the regulation of related pathways by Chinese medicine， aiming to provide references for the clinical treatment of DPN.

Knee osteoarthritis （KOA） is a common degenerative joint disease in the middle-aged and elderly. The incidence of KOA is rising as the population aging aggravates and the obese population grows. KOA seriously affects the health and daily life of the patients. The commonly used drugs for the symptomatic treatment of KOA include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs， cartilage protective drugs， and opioid analgesics， which have limited therapeutic effects and induce obvious adverse drug reactions. Eucommiae Cortex is one of the commonly used Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of KOA， while its pharmacological material basis and mechanism remain unclear， which limits its clinical application. The active ingredients of Eucommiae Cortex for treating KOA mainly include iridoids （geniposide， aucubin）， lignans （pinoresinol diglucoside）， flavonoids （quercetin， astragaloside， baicalein， hyperoside， and kaempferol）， phenylpropanoids （chlorogenic acid）， and polysaccharides. These compounds regulate the levels of inflammatory cytokines， inhibit oxidative stress， protect chondrocytes， balance the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix， and control the progression of KOA via the mitogen-activated protein kinase， nuclear factor-κB， phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B， and Janus kinase 1/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathways. This paper introduces the mechanisms of Eucommiae Cortex and its active components in the treatment of KOA， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new drugs for KOA.

Objective:To establish a 10-year comparison table of cerebrovascular function score and first stroke risk, and to provide a new method for screening of high-risk population of stroke.Methods:In the beginning of 2003, a cohort for studing stroke risk factors in those aged 40 years and over was established in a community of Shanghai by cluster sampling. The common risk factors of stroke were investigated with a unified questionnaire, and the cerebrovascular function (cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes, CVHI) was measured. The baseline study was completed from April to June 2003 and December 2004 to January 2005, respectively. The incident of first stroke and all cause of death were followed up year by year. The follow-up period was up to December 31, 2014. The 10-year incidence of first stroke was calculated according to the baseline score of cerebrovascular function, and the score-risk control table was established to estimate 10-year first stroke risk in each score group. The role of cerebrovascular function score in stroke was also estimated.Results:The follow-up term of 10 565 participants was (10.26±2.00) years, and 350 patients had first stroke during the follow-up. The trend 10-year incidence of first stroke both in men and women was significantly increased with the decrease of the score of cerebrovascular function (trend χ2=296.125, P<0.01). As the 10-year risk of first stroke was higher than 5% and higher than 10%, the corresponding CVHI score was lower than 70 and 40 points in males and lower than 30 and 20 points in females. When the scores of cerebral vascular function were divided by every 25 points, incidence of first stroke in each group from top to bottom was 1.9%, 4.7%, 10.8%, 15.2% in males and 1.6%, 4.4%, 4.8%, 11.4% in females, respectively. As compared to the top, the relative risk (95% CI) of first stroke in the lower groups was 2.61(1.67-4.07), 6.46(4.22-9.89), 9.74(6.53-14.52) for males and 2.82(1.93-4.12), 3.15(1.99-4.99), 8.12(5.65-11.68) for females, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the factors being selected into the regression equation were cerebrovascular function score, age, hypertension history, stroke family history and smoking history, among which the role of cerebrovascular function score was the strongest. Conclusion:The risk of first stroke increases significantly with the decrease of cerebrovascular function score, which can be used to assess the 10-year risk of first stroke.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging features of bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors(BP-NETs) with different pathological subtypes. Methods:From January 2013 to May 2018, 280 patients (196 males, 84 females, median age 58 years) with BP-NETs proved by pathology in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, smoking history, the location and size of tumor, Ki-67 positive index, thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1), synaptophysin (Syn), chromogranin-A (CgA), CD56, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max), lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were compared among 4 pathological subtypes of BP-NETs, including typical carcinoid (TC), atypical carcinoid (AC), small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). One-way analysis of variance, χ2 test, Fisher exact test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test were used for data analysis. Results:There were significant differences in age, smoking history, tumor size and location, Ki-67 positive index, CgA, CD56, TTF-1, SUV max and TNM stage among TC( n=59), AC( n=21), SCLC( n=184) and LCNEC ( n=16) groups ( F values: 2.067, 3.358, H values: 17.749-22.351, all P<0.05). SCLC had the largest tumor size (5.5(3.0, 6.8) cm) and the highest proportion of central type (85.3%, 157/184), and were more prone to lymph node metastasis. LCNEC had the oldest age ((66±16) years), the largest proportion of smoking history (14/16) and peripheral type (12/16). CD56 in SCLC (95.7%, 176/184) and LCNEC(15/16) mostly showed positive expression, while the positive expression rates of CgA and TTF-1 were higher in TC and AC (96.6%(57/59), 93.2%(55/59) and 95.2%(20/21), 90.5%(19/21), respectively). The Ki-67 positive index and SUV max of the four subtypes were significantly different, with the highest in SCLC group and the lowest in TC group. Conclusion:Different pathological subtypes of BP-NETs manifest different clinicopathological features and imaging presentation on 18F-FDG PET/CT, which are useful for understanding their characteristics.

Objective:To prepare 68Ga-2-(4, 7-bis(carboxymethyl)-1, 4, 7-triazonan-1-yl)pentanedioic acid (NODAGA)-YHWYGYTPQNVI (GE11) and evaluate its feasibility of PET imaging for pancreatic cancer. Methods:GE11 peptide was conjugated with NODAGA and then labeled with 68Ga. The labeling yield, radiochemical purity, hydrophilicity, stability and specificity in vitro were determined. Human pancreatic cancer BxPC3 nude mice models ( n=9) were established. MicroPET imaging was then obtained after 30 and 90 min, and mice were sacrificed at 90 min to acquire the radioactivity distribution of main organs and tumors. Pair t test was used to analyze the data. Results:The labeling yield was (73.5±5.4)% and radiochemical purity was more than 98%. After incubation 120 min in mouse serum at 37 ℃, radiochemical purity was more than 92%. The uptake was specific in BxPC3 cell lines. MicroPET images showed that 68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 could accumulate quickly in tumor. Value of tumor uptake was significantly higher than that of normal pancreas at 90 min ((1.38±0.25) vs (0.49±0.07) %ID/g; t=12.67, P<0.05), and the radio-uptake of blood, muscle and bone was lower than that of tumor. Conclusions:68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 is easy to be prepared with high radiochemical purity and good stability, and can specifically target BxPC3 xenograft tumor. However, due to the high uptake in the kidneys and liver, the value of 68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 in PET imaging for pancreatic tumor needs further study.

Objective:To study the correlation between changes of cerebral striatal dopamine D 2 receptors non-displaceable binding potential (BP ND), functional connectivity (FC) and clinical symptoms in patients with first-episode major depressive disorder (MDD), by 11C-Raclopride PET/CT and resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI). Methods:Thirty-eight first-episode depression patients (MDD group) and forty healthy volunteers (control group) matched with age, gender and years of education were selected. All subjects were scored with Hamilton depression scale (24 versions) before enrollment.All the subjects underwent cerebral 11C-Raclopride PET/CT and rs-fMRI in resting state. MIAKAT and DPARSF were used to analyze BP ND of cerebral striatal dopamine D 2 receptors and FC of striatum and the whole brain in subjects, respectively. Changes of striatal dopamine D 2 receptors BP ND and striatum and the whole brain FC of MDD were analyzed, and correlations among BP ND, FC and Hamilton depression rating scale were calculated by Rest 1.8 and SPSS 20.0. Results:Compared with the control group, BP ND of bilateral caudate nucleus and putamen dopamine D 2 receptors in the MDD group were decreased(left caudate nucleus: 1.16±0.37 vs 1.48±0.39, right caudate nucleus: 1.21±0.31 vs 1.62±0.48, left putamen: 1.73±0.47 vs 2.21±0.66, right putamen: 1.79±0.46 vs 2.17±0.65, t=3.66, -4.42, -3.68, -2.91, all P<0.001). Besides, FC of left caudate nucleus and left medial prefrontal lobes(4.38±1.31, 2.35±0.48), left caudate nucleus and left middle frontal gyrus(3.36±1.11, 1.64±0.56), left caudate nucleus and left superior frontal gyrus(3.14±0.78, 1.64±0.53), left putamen and left medial prefrontal lobes(4.10±1.42, 2.42±0.64, t=6.82, P<0.05), right caudate nucleus and right medial prefrontal lobes (4.32±1.30, 2.33±0.63, t=8.51, P<0.05), right putamen and right medial prefrontal lobes(3.77±1.25, 2.31±0.63, t=6.49, P<0.05)in the MDD group were increased.FC of left putamen and left anterior cingulate(1.60±0.55, 2.68±0.84, t=-6.76, P<0.05), right caudate nucleus and right amygdala (1.67±0.57, 3.46±0.64, t=-8.27, P<0.05) in the MDD group were decreased. Furthermore, there were significant negative correlations between D 2 receptors BP ND of bilateral striatum and FC of the same lateral striatum and medial prefrontal lobes ( r=-0.66, -0.50, -0.67, -0.47, all P<0.05). In MDD group, FC in left caudate nucleus and left medial prefrontal lobe were positively correlated with total score of Hamilton depression scale and anxiety somatization( r=0.55, 0.68, P<0.001). FC in left putamen and left medial prefrontal cortex were positively correlated with cognitive impairment and retardation ( r=0.37, 0.40, P=0.021, 0.001). FC of right caudate nucleus and right medial prefrontal lobe were positively correlated with Hamilton depression scale total score and anxiety somatization ( r=0.52, 0.67, all P<0.001). FC in right putamen and right medial prefrontal cortex was positively correlated with cognitive impairment ( r=0.50, P=0.002). Conclusion:The abnormal BP ND of cerebral striatal dopamine D 2 receptor of patients with first-episode depression is related to the abnormal activity of dopamine reward circuit related neurons in patients with MDD, which was related to clinical symptoms of depression. It may be involved in the pathogenesis of depression.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze and summarize the implementation of the primary prevention program for stroke in Shanghai rural community and evaluate its preventive effect. Methods: A cluster sampling method was used to select approximately 50 000 community natural population from a town in Fengxian District of Shanghai. A primary stroke prevention program was established and implemented in the community from 2008 to 2010 and from 2012 to 2015. The prevention program inclueded stroke health education for the whole population, screening of high risk population of stroke, and therapeutic intervention and management plan for individuals aged≥50 years. The intervention measures were followed up every 2 months. From 2008 to 2015, new stroke cases were monitored dynamically and reviewed annually with classification of stroke diagnosis. The effect of community primary prevention of stroke program was evaluated by the dynamic changes in stroke incidence. Results: From 2008 to 2015, a total of 422 600 individuals were monitored, including 20 500 men and 217 600 women. In 2008, 7 828 individuals were screened and 2 129 individuals were at high risk of stroke were screened, with a high risk rate of 27.2%. In 2012, 2 877 individuals were screened, and 725 individuals were at high risk of stroke were screened, with a high risk rate of 25.2%. The standardized incidence of stroke in this community was 158.1, 105.4, 86.6, 77.6, 89.3, 77.4, 50.7, and 42.3 per 100 000 respectively. The overall incidence image roughly showed a downward trend except 2012(trend test P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of stroke between men and women in each year. The incidence of stroke increased significantly with age (trend test P<0.01). The age composition of stroke patients is slightly different between different sexes. The proportion of male patients with stroke aged <70 years was significantly higher than that of female patients with stroke, while the proportion of female patients with stroke age>70 years was significantly higher than that of male patients with stroke (P<0.01). Cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and subarachnoid hemorrhage accounted for 20.76%, 75.14%, and 4.10%, respectively. Conclusion Based on lifestyle intervention and treatment and control of risk factors, screening high-risk individuals for therapeutic intervention in community population can significantly reduce the incidence of stroke.

Purpose: Assessing the status of metastasis in sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) by pathologists is an essential task for the accurate staging of breast cancer. However, histopathological evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes by a pathologist is not easy and is a tedious and time-consuming task. The purpose of this study is to review a challenge competition (HeLP 2018) to develop automated solutions for the classification of metastases in hematoxylin and eosin–stained frozen tissue sections of SLNs in breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 297 digital slides were obtained from frozen SLN sections, which include post–neoadjuvant cases (n = 144, 48.5%) in Asan Medical Center, South Korea. The slides were divided into training, development, and validation sets. All of the imaging datasets have been manually segmented by expert pathologists. A total of 10 participants were allowed to use the Kakao challenge platform for six weeks with two P40 GPUs. The algorithms were assessed in terms of the AUC (area under receiver operating characteristic curve). Results: The top three teams showed 0.986, 0.985, and 0.945 AUCs for the development set and 0.805, 0.776, and 0.765 AUCs for the validation set. Micrometastatic tumors, neoadjuvant systemic therapy, invasive lobular carcinoma, and histologic grade 3 were associated with lower diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion In a challenge competition, accurate deep learning algorithms have been developed, which can be helpful in making frozen diagnosis of intraoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy. Whether this approach has clinical utility will require evaluation in a clinical setting

Objective To study the imaging features of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG) PET/CT in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and evaluate the value of PET/CT on early diagnosis of AE.Methods Sixteen patients with AE (11 males,5 females,age:11-68 years) between March 2012 and December 2017 were included.Patients had positive antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid or (and) serum without immunity therapy.The imaging (18F-FDG PET/CT,MRI) and clinical data were analyzed.Results Nine patients suffered from anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and other 7 patients had limbic encephalitis (LE),which including 2 cases of anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) encephalitis,3 cases of anti-γ-aminobutyric acid-B receptor(GABAsR) encephalitis,1 case of anti-Hu encephalitis and 1 case of anti-Yo encephalitis.Fifteen patients showed scattered hypermetabolism or hypometabolism in the brain on PET/CT imaging,and the positive rate was 15/16.Among those patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis,hypermetabolism in frontotemporal parietal lobes and hypometabolism in occipital lobe were shown;hypermetabolism in limbic systems including temporal lobe and hippocampus were shown in LE.No abnormal CT density was found at the same phase.Slightly higher signals on T2,fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) were detected in some patients,and the positive rate was 7/16.Conclusions Patients with AE of different types have different characteristics on 18F-FDG PET/CT.18F-FDG PET/CT has high positive rate for early diagnosis of AE.
