Objective To explore the feasibility of tracing the source of human biological samples by microbiome,and provide new ideas for case investigation.Methods Biological samples from buccal mucosa,foot arch,armpit and other parts of 10 volunteers were collected for three consecutive months.The microbial community structure of the samples was confirmed by using the 16SrRNA gene sequence information.And the microbial community diversity analysis and random forest classification prediction model were carried out.Results There were significant differences in the microbial community structure of the three parts of human body.In this study,a prediction model of random forest classification with an accuracy of more than 90%was successfully constructed.Conclusion In this study,a classification and prediction model based on the microbiome information of human biological samples was constructed to judge the source location,which broadened the forensic application scenarios of human microorganisms.

Objective:To investigate the effects of needle-embedding therapy on improvement of pneumoperitoneum and abdominal distension after colonoscopy.Methods:A total of 102 patients who received colonoscopy in Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China between June 2018 and June 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to observation and control groups ( n = 51 per group). The control group was subjected to routine symptomatic treatment and the observation group was given needle-embedding therapy. The improvement effects on pneumoperitoneum and abdominal distension, examination duration, numerical rating scale score, and grade of abdominal distension at 6 and 24 hours after colonoscopy were compared between observation and control groups. Results:Total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [92.16% (47/51) vs. 74.51% (38 /51), χ 2 = 5.71, P < 0.05]. The time to enteroscope entry and the time to enteroscope withdrawal were (4.86 ± 1.23) minutes and (5.24 ± 1.13) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(8.79 ± 1.25) minutes, (6.97 ± 1.12) minutes, t = 16.00, 7.76, both P < 0.001]. Numerical rating scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(1.50 ± 0.41) points vs. (2.30 ± 0.42) points, t = 9.73, P < 0.001). At 6 and 24 hours after colonoscopy, the amplitude of improvement of abdominal distension in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group (both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Needle-embedding therapy can effectively improve pneumoperitoneum and abdominal distension after enteroscopy, shorten the examination duration, and relieve pain.

Background and objective Prolonged air leak (PAL) after anatomic lung resection is a common and challenging complication in thoracic surgery.No available clinical prediction model of PAL has been established in China.The aim of this study was to construct a model to identify patients at increased risk of PAL by using preoperative factors exclusively.Methods We retrospectively reviewed clinical data and PAL occurrence of patients after anatomic lung resection,in department of thoracic surgery,Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University,from January 2016 to October 2016.359 patients were in group A,clinical data including age,body mass index (BMI),gender,smoking history,surgical methods,pulmonary function index,pleural adhesion,pathologic diagnosis,side and site of resected lung were analyzed.By using univariate and multivariate analysis,we found the independent predictors of PAL after anatomic lung resection and subsequently established a clinical prediction model,Then,another 112 patients (group B),who underwent anatomic lung resection in different time by different team,were chosen to verify the accuracy of the prediction model.Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed using the prediction model.Results Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify six clinical characteristics [BMI,gender,smoking history,forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1%),pleural adhesion,site of resection] as independent predictors of PAL after anatomic lung resection.The area under the ROC curve for our model was 0.886 (95%CI:0.835-0.937).The best predictive P value was 0.299 with sensitivity of 78.5% and specificity of 93.2%.Conclusion Our prediction model could accurately identify occurrence risk of PAL in patients after anatomic lung resection,which might allow for more effective use ofintraoperative prophylactic strategies.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects of the conditioning regimen with or without total body irradiation on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in acute leukemia.Methods We retrospectively evaluated clinical outcomes in 287 allo-HSCT recipients with acute leukemia (ALL- 105,AML-129,and AUL-53) who received myeloablative conditioning regimen with or without total body irradiation from January 2002 to August 2011.Two hundred and six patients obtained complete remission (CR) and 81 non-remission (NR) before transplantation.One hundred and ninety-nine patients received conditioning with total body irradiation (TBI+ Cy group,9 Gy given over 2 days),and 88 patients received busulfan (BuCy group,3.2 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ),both followed by cyclophosphamide.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in hematopoietic reconstitution,regimen-related toxicity (RRT),graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse between two groups.For patients with AML and AUL,there was no significant difference in the 5-year survival between the two regimens (P> 0.05),while for ALL-CR patients,the TBI + Cy regimen had a higher over survival rate (52.0% vs.31.3%,LogRank=4.249,P<0.05) and DFS (50.4% vs.27.8%,LogRank =4.445,P<0.05) than BuCy.In TBI + Cy group and BuCy group,the proportion of CD19+ B cells at the first month after HSCT was (4.04 ± 1.86)% and (1.47 ±0.99) % (P<0.05),that of NK cells at 12th month after HSCT was (23.38 ± 12.19) % and (13.11± 7.99) % (P<0.05),and that of CD4+ CD45RO+ cells at 9th month after HSCT was (14.63 ±6.17)% and (9.07 ± 3.12)% (P<0.01),respectively.ConclusionUsing TBI-containing regimen was more effective for treating ALL-CR patients than busulphan-containing regimen,but no difference was found for long-term outcomes in patients with AML and AUL between the two regimens.The 9 Gy TBI-based regimens may not affect recipients' thymic function,T-cells reconstitution and immune tolerance,coming out a non-increase of GVHD.

Objective To compare the transplant-related toxicity and the efficacy of busulfan/fludarabine (Bu/Flu) and busulfan/cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) as conditioning regimen in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute myeloid leukemia(AML) in the first complete remission (CR1).Methods Totally 32 AML-CR1 patients underwent allo-HSCT were divided into Bu/Cy (Bu 3.2 mg· kg-1 · d-1,7-4 days before transplantation; Cy 60 mg · kg-1 · d-1,3-2 days before transplantation) and Bu/Flu (Bu 3.2 mg · kg-1 · d-1,5-2 days before transplantation; Flu 30 mg · m-2·d-1,6-2 days before transplantation) groups.The regimen-related toxicity (RRT),incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),3-year cumulative relapse rate,non-relapse mortality (NRM),3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were compared between the two groups.Results The median follow-up duration was 617.5 (6-1261) days.All patients achieved successful engraftment on 30 day after transplantation.There were no significant differences in the median time to neutrophil engraftment (P =0.121) and platelet engraftment (P =0.171) between the two groups.The median duration of neutrophil count under 0.1 × 109/L and platelet count under 20 × 109/L in the Bu/Cy group were significantly longer than those in the Bu/Flu group (P =0.000 and P =0.047).The incidence of grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ RRT were 68.8% and 25.0% (P =0.032) in the Bu/Cy and the Bu/Flu groups,respectively.There were no significant differences in the incidence of acute GVHD (P =0.149),chronic GVHD (P =0.149),incidence of NRM (P =0.333),3-year cumulative relapse rates (P =0.834),3-year EFS rate (P =0.362) and OS rate (P =0.111) between the two groups.Conclusion Compared with Bu/Cy,Bu/Flu is a myeloablative condition regimen with milder bone marrow suppression and lower RRT incidence rate in allogeneic HSCT for AML-CR1 patients without compromising the efficacy.
