CONCLUSION Irradiation can effectively control the microbial level in Rubus chingii Hu, and there is no significant effect on the chemical composition of Rubus chingii Hu, the results provide a basis for the application of irradiation in the sterilization process of Rubus chingii Hu.

Objective:To analyze the association between the pre-pregnancy oral microbiota of women and fetal overgrowth, and the possible mechanisms involved.Methods:A nested case-control study design based on a pre-pregnancy cohort was used to select 51 mothers who delivered macrosomia and/or large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants from the population recruited at the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Jiading District in Shanghai from October 2016 to December 2021 as the case group. A control group was formed by selecting 204 mothers who delivered infants with normal birth weight and appropriate for gestational age during the same period, in a 1:4 ratio. The LGA subgroup consisted of 48 mothers who delivered LGA infants from the total population, and a corresponding control group of 192 was randomly selected from the remaining mothers who delivered non-LGA infants in a 1∶4 ratio for the LGA subgroup analysis. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing technique was utilized to detect pre-pregnancy saliva samples to compare the characteristics of the oral microbiota, differential microorganisms, and differential functional pathways between groups. Nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, two independent samples t-tests, or Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) tests were used for statistical analysis. Factor analysis was conducted on the pre-pregnancy diet data of women, and the primary dietary pattern of each study subject was identified based on the highest score of the dietary pattern factors. For microbiota count data, α and β diversity indices were calculated using R and QIIME2 software, and the corresponding microbiota functional count data were acquired through PICRUSt2. Results:(1) General data: There was no significant difference in the time interval from pre-pregnancy sampling to pregnancy and from sampling to delivery between the two groups. In the case group, there were three cases of macrosomia and 48 cases (94.1%) of LGA. The corresponding control group for the LGA subgroup consisted of 192 cases. There were no significant differences in dietary patterns between the case group and the control group. (2) α diversity analysis: The species richness index of the case group was lower than that of the control group [(367.27±84.57) vs. (408.71±93.08), multivariate analysis, P=0.009], while no significant differences were found between the two groups in the Shannon and Simpson indices; the species richness index of the LGA subgroup was also lower than that of the corresponding control group [(371.04±83.92) vs. (408.04±94.21), multivariate analysis, P=0.033], with no significant differences in the Shannon and Simpson indices. (3) β diversity analysis: There was a statistically significant difference in the unweighted UniFrac distance of the oral microbiota between the case group and the control group ( R2=0.006, F=1.479, P=0.048). No significant differences were found in the β diversity indices of the oral microbiota between the LGA subgroup and the corresponding control group. (4) Differential microbiota analysis: There were 14 differential microbiotas from phylum to genus between the case group and the control group. At the genus level, members of the G1 genus of the Streptococcaceae were enriched in the case group, while the Lautropia, Dialister, Leptotrichia, and Rothia were enriched in the control group. In the LGA subgroup and its corresponding control group, there were 14 differential microbiota from phylum to genus; at the genus level, Leptotrichia, Rothia, G6 genus of the Saccharibacteria, and Selenomonas were enriched in the control group (all LDA value>2, and all P<0.05). (5) Differential functional analysis: In the case group, metabolic pathways such as nicotinate degradation [log 2 fold change ( FC)=3.510, q=0.005], de novo synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides (log 2FC=0.078, q=0.005), and L-tyrosine degradation pathway (log 2FC=0.710, q=0.034) were enriched in the oral microbiota of women. In the LGA subgroup, compared to the corresponding control group, metabolic pathways related to nicotinate degradation were enriched in the oral microbiota (log 2FC=3.660, q=0.012). Conclusions:There are differences in the structure of the pre-pregnancy oral microbiota of mothers with overgrown fetuses compared to those with normally grown fetuses, and mothers of normally grown fetuses show higher diversity in their pre-pregnancy oral microbiota. The enrichment of certain pathogenic bacteria and the reduction of symbiotic bacteria in the pre-pregnancy oral microbiota are associated with fetal overgrowth, and this association may be mediated by functional pathways such as nicotinate degradation.

Objective:To compare the effect of stripped perforator pedicle on the survival of perforator flap.Methods:From January, 2015 to December, 2019, 44 patients with soft tissue defects of distal shank and ankle were repaired with perforating vessel pedicled propeller flap. According to the nudity of the perforator pedicle, the patients were divided into 2 groups: stripped group ( n=14) and non-stripped group ( n=30). The gender, age, history of smoking, history of diabetes, location of wound, size of flap, perforator artery of flap, closure method of donor site, degree of flap swelling 3 days after operation, percentage of survival area of flap 7 days after operation and postoperative complications were analysed retrospectively. Data were analyzed statistically. The difference was statistically significant when P<0.05. Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, smoking history, diabetes history, wound location, size of flap, perforator artery and donor site closure( P<0.05). The degree of swelling of flap in the stripped group 3 days after operation [(+) 94.00%, (++) 6.00%, (+++) 0.00%, (++++) 0.00%)] was less than that in the non-stripped group [(+)47.00%, (++) 29.00%, (+++) 13.00%, (++++) 11.00%)] . The difference was statistically significant between the 2 groups( P<0.05). The percentage of flap survival area in the stripped group [(100.00±0.00) %] was higher than that in the non-stripped group [(88.23±21.29)%] , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the stripped group(0.00%) was lower than that in the non-stripped group (39.00%). The difference heel statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusion:The stripped pedicle of the perforating vessel can promote a better survival of the arterial perforating branch propeller flap, and the degree of postoperative swelling and complications of the flap are lower.

Objective: To evaluate our replantation and functional reconstruction of amputated lower extremities. Methods: From February 2013 to October 2017, 13 patients with an amputated lower extremity were treated at Orthopaedic Department, The 960th Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force. They were 10 males and 3 females, aged from 15 to 63 years (average, 39 years). In all the patients, large segmental shortening and extremity replantation was conducted at the first stage and Ilizarov extremity lengthening at the secondary stage. After desired extension was achieved, the frame of Ilizarov external fixator was removed and replaced by external fixation with a locking plate under closed reduction. Postoperatively, functions of the knee and ankle joints, sensory recovery of the foot sole, length and appearance of the extremity were observed. Results: All the 13 patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months (average, 16 months). All the limb replants survived well. Of them, 12 were satisfied with their weight-bearing walking and therapeutic outcomes. Conclusions For an amputated lower extremity, the first-stage shortening and replantation can result in fine extremity salvage and the secondary Ilizarov extremity lengthening can lead to fine therapeutic outcomes.

A novel recombinant Bacille Calmette-Guerin (rBCG) vaccine co-expressed Eimeria tenella rhomboid and cytokine chicken IL-2 (chIL-2) was constructed, and its efficacy against E. tenella challenge was observed. The rhomboid gene of E. tenella and chIL-2 gene were subcloned into integrative expression vector pMV361, producing vaccines rBCG pMV361-rho and pMV361-rho-IL2. Animal experiment via intranasal and subcutaneous route in chickens was carried out to evaluate the immune efficacy of the vaccines. The results indicated that these rBCG vaccines could obviously alleviate cacal lesions and oocyst output. Intranasal immunization with pMV361-rho and pMV361-rho-IL2 elicited better protective immunity against E. tenella than subcutaneous immunization. Splenocytes from chickens immunized with either rBCG pMV361-rho and pMV361-rho-IL2 had increased CD4+ and CD8+ cell production. Our data indicate recombinant BCG is able to impart partial protection against E. tenella challenge and co-expression of cytokine with antigen was an effective strategy to improve vaccine immunity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of mesorectal invasion depth before neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy with pathological outcome and to provide evidence for individualized treatment in T3 rectal cancer.

METHODSRetrospective analysis was performed on the clinical records of 73 consecutive rectal cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and radical surgery in the Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2010 to December 2012. All the patients underwent high-resolution MRI and the depth of mesorectal invasion, lymph node status, tumor length, and mesorectal fascia status were evaluated. The category T3 was subdivided according to the measurement of the maximal tumor invasion beyond the outer border of the muscularis propria: T3a(<5 mm), T3b(5-10 mm) and T3c(>10 mm). The association of mesorectal invasion depth,other MRI and clinical features with short-term efficacy was analyzed,especially with pathological complete response(pCR).

RESULTST3a, T3b and T3c accounted for 19.2%, 64.4% and 16.4% in 73 rectal cancer patients who underwent high resolution MRI, respectively. There were 42.9% of T3a patients achieved pathological complete response,significantly higher than those of T3b(14.9%)and T3c(0%) (P=0.017).

CONCLUSIONST3a rectal cancer patients are more likely to achieve pCR than those of T3b and T3c after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. The maximal tumor invasion beyond the outer border of the muscularis propria less than 5 mm may act as a predictive factor and guide the follow-up treatment of T3 rectal cancer.

An analytical method based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of cyantraniliprole and its main metabolite J9 Z38 residues in pepper and soil. The fate of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 in pepper and soil was also evaluated. The target compounds were extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned up by C18 cartridge, and further analyzed by gradient ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization in positive mode ( ESI﹢) using a UPLC BEH C18 Column. The method was validated using fortified pepper and soil. Intra-day mean recoveries of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 at three spiked levels (0. 01, 0. 10 and 1. 00 mg/kg) ranged from 88. 6% to 105 . 7% with relative standard deviations of 3 . 8%-15 . 1%. Inter-day mean recoveries of cyantraniliprole and J9 Z38 were found between 91 . 4% and 105 . 3% with relative standard deviations of 4 . 9%-12 . 3% at three spiked levels. Limits of quantification ( LOQs) of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 were 0. 1 and 0. 2 μg/kg, respectively. Linear calibration functions with correlation coefficients of r>0. 9992 were obtained in the concentration range of 2. 0-128. 0 μg/L. This method was applied to the analysis of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 residues in real pepper and soil samples selected from field. The results of the residue dynamic experiment showed that the half-life of cyantraniliprole ranged from 9 . 2 to 11 . 2 days in pepper and from 9 . 2 to 20. 8 days in soil. While, the residues of J9Z38 in pepper were below LOQ, and the half-life of J9Z38 in soil was 9. 4 days. The degradation speed of cyantraniliprole increased with the increase of the precipitation.
