Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an immune system disease with an unclear etiology. Guided by the yang-reinforcing method， it is believed that the fundamental pathogenesis of pulmonary sarcoidosis lies in the disharmony between water and fire and the reckless movement of the ministerial fire. The failure of the spleen and stomach to maintain warmth， leading to the production of phlegm and blood stasis， is an important pathogenesis. The invasion of external pathogenic toxins， deeply penetrating into the interior， is considered a triggering factor for the disease. The treatment focuses on supplementing the yang， consolidating the kidney， drawing fire back to its source， warming the yang， benefiting the kidney， and nourishing the spleen to generate metal. It also emphasizes unblocking the yang， transforming turbidity， and eliminating phlegm and blood stasis.

Objective To investigate the association between microvariants at locus DYS570 and Y-SNPs haplogroup.Methods 89 Y-SNPs and 34 Y-STRs in AIYSNP42,AIYSNP47 and YfilerTM Platinum kits were used to detect the genotype of 116 microvariants at locus DYS570 in Kunming,and the Set-B kit was used to detect the core repeat sequences of the DYS570 locus.The data were statistically analyzed by direct counting method.Then,a network map was drawn by Network 10.2,in order to visualize the genetic information of the sample.Results The results demonstrated that 111 DYS570/18.3-21.3 samples had a core repeat sequence of TTT[TITC]18-21,belonging to subgroup O2a2b1a1a1a4-F14494.A DYS570/20.3 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]15TTC[TTTC]5,belonging to O2a1b1a1a1a1e-F1365 subgroup.A DYS570/17.1 sample had a core repeat sequence of[TTTC]17 T,belonging to the O2a1b1a1a1a-F11 subgroup.Three DYS570(19.2)samples had[TTTC]3 TT[TTTC]16,belonging to the D1a1a-M15 haplogroup.Conclusion The results indicated that the microvariant with the same core repeat structure at locus DYS570 was associated with haplogroups,and the ancestry origin of samples can be inferenced from microvariant characteristics during the practice of forensic medicine.

Tooth extraction is a common and widely employed therapeutic procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Minimally invasive tooth extraction can reduce both physical and psychological trauma to the patients,and is widely recommended as a first-line clinical treatment.But currently no guidelines or consensus has been available to provide a systematic introduction of minimally invasive tooth extraction to guide the clinical practices.To address this issue,this consensus,based on a comprehensive literature review and clinical experiences of experts,systematically summarizes the indications,target patients,and contraindications of minimally invasive tooth extraction,the overall workflow of this procedure(preoperative preparation,surgical steps,postoperative management,postoperative instructions,medications,and follow-up),and its common postoperative complications to provide a comprehensive guidance for clinical application of this technique.

Objective:To analyze the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in evaluating carotid artery elasticity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 98 T2DM patients diagnosed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were selected and divided into three groups according to the results of liver ultrasound examination. 35 patients without NAFLD were in group A, 33 patients with mild NAFLD were in group B, and 30 patients with moderate to severe NAFLD were in group C. All selected individuals showed no plaque formation on carotid ultrasound examination. Left carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), carotid artery systolic diameter (Ds), carotid artery diastolic diameter (Dd), and peak systolic velocity (PSV) were measured using conventional two-dimensional and M-mode ultrasound. The stiffness coefficient (β) was obtained through calculation. SWE was used to measure the mean longitudinal modulus of elasticity (MEmean), mean minimum modulus of elasticity (MEmin), and mean maximum modulus of elasticity (MEmax) of the left carotid artery at the end of diastole.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in Ds, Dd, and PSV among the three groups (all P>0.05). Compared with group A and group B, group C had significantly higher IMT, β, MEmean, MEmax, and MEmin (all P<0.05). Compared with the group A, the group B had higher levels of MEmean, MEmax, and MEmin (all P<0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in IMT and β between the groups (all P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that MEmax, MEmean, and MEmin in each group were positively correlated with β ( r=0.537, 0.543, 0.525, P<0.01), and also positively correlated with HbA 1c ( r=0.456, 0.483, 0.438, P<0.01), but not with IMT (all P>0.05). The intra observer Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of MEmax, MEmean and MEmin measured by SWE was 0.847-0.887, and the inter observer ICC was 0.791-0.934, indicating a good repeatability. Conclusions:SWE can quantitatively evaluate the elasticity of the carotid artery in patients with T2DM and NAFLD.

Object:To explore surgical treatments for duodenal fistula with intra-abdominal infection.Methods:The data of 19 patients with duodenal fistula treated at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhenzhou University between Jan 2015 and Dec 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Surgery is performed with duodenostomy or modified duodenal shunt procedures.Result:All patients were accompanied by intra-abdominal infection, including 9 duodenal stump fistulas. All patients successfully completed the operation,11cases underwent duodenostomy, 8 case underwent modified duodenal shunt procedures. operating time was 110(60-140)min, postoperative hospitalization time was 29(9-103)d. Two patients died postoperatively. Fistula heals in other patients.Conclusion:Surgical intervention for duodenal fistula should focus on controlling the source of infection, strengthening intestinal and abdominal drainage, and reducing postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the association of the DYS527a/b and DYF387S1a/b multi-allele pattern with Y-SNP haplogroups.Methods Samples from 295 unrelated males who carrying the DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern were amplified by the YFilerPlus? kit.The genotypes of their frequency distributions,including three multi-copy loci(DYS527a/b,DYF387S1a/b,DYS385a/b)and other single-copy loci were obtained.The DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern and their haplotypes were examined for the associations with Y-chromosome haplogroups using the AIYSNP42 kit,which contains 42 Y-SNP loci.Based on the above results,the association between the DYS527a/b multi-allele patter and its constituent Y-STR haplotypes and related haplogroups was discussed.Results Among the 295 samples,the DYS527a/b tri-allele pattern and tetra-allele pattern accounted for 97.29%and 2.71%respectively,while the DYF387S1a/b tri-allele pattern and tetra-allele encompassed 54.24%and 4.75%.Null allele was detected in DYS448 in 13.22%of the samples.Here,7 Y-SNPs were deticted such as O-M175 and C-M131 which encompassed 45.76%and 45.08%.The haplogroups of R1-M173,N-M231,D1-M174,J-M304 and F-M89 were less than 13 cases,with frequencies ranging from 4.41%～0.34%.There were Y-STR genotypes differences among haplogroups,as haplogroup O-M175 was represented by 4 genotypes of Y-STR profiles characterized by DYS385a/b(12/12,as well as 12/17,12/18,12/19),DYS392(13),DYS593(16)and DYS393(12),and haplogroup C-M130 was characterized by DYS527a/b(19/20/21),DYS385a/b(11),DYS593(17),DYS390(23),Y_GATA_H4(11),and DYS444(13)and so on.Conclusion The DYS527a/b multi-allele pattern is frequently observed in the Kunming population with haplogroup C-M130.In the samples from haplogroups O,C,R1 and N,the DYS527a/b and DYF387S1a/b haplotypes frequently exhibit the multi-allele pattern.Given the frequencies of different haplogroups and the association between Y-SNP haplogroups and Y-STR loci,it could be helpful to look for more details in the paternal lineage search.

Objective:To evaluate the strategy and skills of reoperation for recurrent carcinoma at the stoma of esophagojejunostomy after total gastrectomy.Methods:The management experience in 18 patients at the Department of General Surgery, Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Oct 2016 to Jul 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Thirteen patients underwent left thoracoabdominal combined incision to completely remove the tumor.One patient developed anastomotic leakage, two patients developed pulmonary infection, one patient developed costochondritis, all were cured and discharged after conservative treatment; Nine patients had no postoperative complications. Two patients abandoned surgery due to high position of the tumor, 3 patients due to poor cardiopulmonary function, and were given radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The postoperative follow-up period was 4.6 to 42.9 months. Four patients died of tumor recurrence, and the remaining patients survived until the end of the follow-up. The overall 1-and 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were 100% and 20%, respectively.Conclusion:Surgery on recurrent carcinoma at esophagojejunostomy stoma after total gastrectomy, although difficult and challenging,could still benefit most patients when at the hands of expertise.

Bronchiectasis is a refractory chronic airway disease characterized by chronic cough and phlegm production. Airway mucus hypersecretion is one of the important causative factors for acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis. Thus， reducing airway mucus secretion during the stable phase of bronchiectasis is the key to the treatment. Phlegm-dispelling therapy is commonly used in modern medicine， which， however， fails to radically reduce mucus secretion. At the moment， it is difficult and urgent to find an intervention that can improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the recurrence of disease during the stable phase of bronchiectasis. Chinese medicine shows remarkable efficacy in reducing airway mucus secretion. Nonetheless， there is a lack of research on the airway mucus hypersecretion of bronchiectasis， and no registered research outcome is available. Traditional Chinese medicine boasts a lot of experience in the treatment of phlegm. It combines clearing and tonifying methods and identifies Yin and Yang and internal organs， thus being advantageous in the treatment of airway mucus hypersecretion of bronchiectasis. Therefore， it is an important topic to improve the effectiveness of Chinese medicine on airway mucus hypersecretion of bronchiectasis by focusing on the "generation"， "transformation" and "excretion" of phlegm.

Objective:To evaluate a nano-carbon lymphatic tracing method for patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy .Method:Retrospective analysis was made on 88 patients of rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation at the Department of General Surgery, He′nan Cancer Hospital from Jan 2016 to May 2020.According to whether nano-carbon lymph node was used or not, patients were divided into nanocarbon tracer group (study group) and non-nanocarbon tracer group (control group).Results:There was statistically significant in the number of havested lymph nodes between the two groups [15(11-19) vs.9(5-12), Z=5.227, P<0.001], There was no statistically significant in the number of positive lymph nodes between the two groups [0(0-0.25) vs.0(0-1), Z=1.199, P=0.231]. There were significant differences in the ratio of patients with less than 7 lymph nodes(0/34 vs.18/54, χ 2=14.248, P<0.001) and patients with less than 10 lymph nodes (4/34 vs.29/54, χ 2=15.657, P<0.001). Conclusions:The injection of nanocarbon after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can increase the number of harvested postoperative lymph nodes and the ratio of patients with lymph nodes ≥7 and ≥10, which is more beneficial for prediction of the prognosis of patients.
