To summarize the nursing experience of a patient with gastric cancer who developed cytokine release syndrome after using immune checkpoint inhibitors.Key points of nursing care:development of nursing assessment decisions with a holistic view to guide safe nursing care;taking into account the contradiction between bleeding and thrombosis and providing good care for upper gastrointestinal bleeding;implementing a nursing strategy focusing on cleaning and anti-infection for IV oral mucositis;implementing risk management for severe pulmonary lesions;providing good hormone medication care and discharge follow-up management.The patient was successfully discharged on 52nd day with a 3-month follow-up in good condition.

Feces and intestinal contents of pigs suspected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus were collected from a farm in Minqin County,Gansu Province,China.After the suspected positive sam-ples were detected by RT-PCR,Vero cells were used to isolate and culture them in vitro.The suc-cessfully isolated virus was identified in the laboratory,and its whole genome sequence was ana-lyzed for genetic evolution.The pathogenicity was evaluated by animal regression test.The results showed that typical syncytial lesions could be observed when the PEDV-positive treatment solu-tion was inoculated with Vero cells in the 4th generation,and the virus titer in the 6th generation reached 10-4 75TCID50/mL.PEDV-like virions with a diameter of about 100 nm and a round shape with obvious capsular membranes and spikes were observed by electron microscopy.Whole genome sequencing analysis showed that the total length of this strain was 28 085 bp,which was far from the G1 subtype represented by the classical strain CV777(96.6％),and had a high homology with the G2b strains BC-2011-1,IA1,USA/Colorado/2013 and WELL(98.6％).This indicated that the strain belonged to the G2b epidemic strain.The animal regression test showed that the 5-day-old piglets developed vomiting,acute watery diarrhea,emaciation and mental depression within 12 h after the attack,and the symptoms worsened and died within 24 h.After autopsy,the infected piglets could be observed with stomach swelling,high intestinal heave,thin and transparent intesti-nal wall,and undigested milk clots inside.In summary,a PEDV G2b epidemic strain was success-fully isolated and identified in this study,and its whole genome sequence and pathogenicity were analyzed,providing research materials for future studies on PEDV gene function,pathogenic mech-anism and vaccine development.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the composition and metabolites of gut microbiota in septic rats by fecal 16s rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics, and to preliminarily explore the effect and potential mechanism of gut microbiota and its metabolites on inflammatory response and multiple organ damage in sepsis. METHODS: Ten males healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham operated group (Sham group) and sepsis model group (CLP group) using a random number table method, with 5 rats in each group. A rat sepsis model was established by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) method. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after modeling, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung and kidney tissues, and the pathological scores were evaluated. Fecal samples were collected, and 16s rRNA high-throughput sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics were used to screen microbiota, metabolites and potential signal pathways that may play an important role in disease outcomes. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to jointly analyze the gut microbiota and non-targeted metabolism. RESULTS: Compared with the Sham group, the degree of pathological damage to lung and kidney tissues in the CLP group was significantly increased (lung tissue score: 3.60±0.80 vs. 0.00±0.00, kidney tissue score: 2.40±0.80 vs. 0.00±0.00, both P < 0.01), the level of IL-6 and TNF-α in peripheral blood significantly increased [TNF-α (ng/L): 248.12±55.98 vs. 143.28±36.57, IL-6 (ng/L): 260.26±39.47 vs. 116.01±26.43, both P < 0.05], the species diversity of intestinal flora of rats in the CLP group was significantly reduced, the relative abundance of Morganella, Bacteroides and Escherichia-Shigella were significantly increased, and the relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, Ruminococcus, Romboutsia and Roseburia were significantly reduced. In addition, the biosynthesis and bile secretion of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan in the gut microbiota of the CLP group were significantly increased, while the biosynthesis of secondary bile acids was significantly reduced. There was a significant correlation between differential metabolites and differential microbiota. CONCLUSIONS Sepsis can cause significant changes in the characteristics of gut microbiota and fecal metabolites in rats, which provides a basis for translational research to seek new targets for the treatment of sepsis.

Lung squamous cell carcinoma with intratracheal diffuse leukoplakia as the main manifestation is very rare in clinic. The clinical data of a patient with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma with intratracheal diffuse leukoplakia admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University in December 25, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in order to improve the understanding of this special manifestation. The patient was a 73-year-old male with clinical manifestations of cough, sputum, and blood-stained sputum. Chest CT indicated patchy high-density shadow on the upper right lung, whole-course thickening of trachea and bronchial walls, and bronchoscopy showed diffuse trachea-bronchial mucosa congestion and edema, with a large number of leukoplakia on the surface. The clinical effect was stable after 2 cycles of chemotherapy. Lung squamous cell carcinoma accompanied by diffuse leukoplakia in the trachea is a rare presentation. Chest CT can show thickening of the tracheal and bronchial wall, while the lesion and tumor signs of the primary lesion are not obvious. Electronic bronchoscopy as soon as possible can avoid missed diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of self-made phase-change nanodroplets IR780/FA-Nds-DTX as molecular targeted ultrasound contrast agents for accurate diagnosis and combined targeted therapy of pancreatic cancer.Methods:Pancreatic cancer cell lines were cultured in vitro and 50 tumor bearing nude mouse models were established. The experimental group (IR780/ FA-NdS-DTX) and four control groups[ normal saline, Nds(FITC), FA-Nds (FITC) and IR-780] were divided to verify dual-mode targeted imaging. The imaging using the IVIS Imaging System verified the high-efficiency targeted detection ability and near-infrared fluorescence imaging of IR780/FA-Nds-DTX for tumors in vivo, phase transformation induced by low-intensity focused ultrasound and further contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging verified the high-efficiency aggregation of IR780/FA-Nds-DTX in local tumors and accurate evaluation of tumor contour. The therapeutic effect was observed in the experimental group (IR780/FA-Nds-DTX) and four control groups (FA-Nds-IR780, FA-Nds-DTX, FA-Nds and normal saline). After low-intensity focused ultrasound irradiation for 30s induced microbubble blasting after phase transformation in each group, 808nm photothermal therapy apparatus was used to irradiate tumor area in each group. Two-dimensional ultrasound was used to monitor the changes in tumor volume in each group before and at 3 d, 9 d, 15 d after treatment, and the changes in tumor volume rate and inhibition in each group were statistically analyzed and compared.Results:The amount of IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX locally targeted aggregation was the largest, and the average fluorescence intensity of tumor in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control groups: IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with Nds(FITC) group[(5.12±0.69)×10 7 vs (1.06±0.23)×10 7, P<0.05], IR780/FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds (FITC) group [(5.12±0.69)×10 7 vs (2.98±0.34)×10 7, P<0.05], IR780/FA-Nds-DTX group compared with IR-780 group [(5.12±0.69)×10 7 vs (1.54±0.42)×10 7, P<0.05], and there was no fluorescence in tumor area in saline group. Further contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging after nanodroplet phase transformation could more accurately locate the tumor boundary. After 15 days of photothermal ablation combined with chemotherapy, the growth rate of tumor volume in the IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control groups: IR780/FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds-IR780 group[(0.105±0.075) vs (0.405±0.175), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds-DTX group [(0.105±0.075) vs (1.385±0.035), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds group [(0.105±0.075) vs (2.255±0.105), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with normal saline group [(0.105±0.075) vs (2.185±0.155), P<0.05]. And the tumor inhibition rate increased significantly: IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds-IR780 group [(0.93±0.06) vs (0.48±0.17), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds-DTX group [(0.93±0.06) vs (-0.51±0.105), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with FA-Nds group [(0.93±0.06) vs (-1.63±0.115), P<0.05], IR780/ FA-Nds-DTX group compared with normal saline[(0.93±0.06) vs (-1.35±0.245), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The self-made phase-change ultrasound contrast agents IR780/FA-Nds-DTX have good potential clinical value in targeted detection and combined therapy of pancreatic cancer with small lesions or even metastases.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality. In this study, we demonstrated a novel vaccine targeting HCC and tumor neovascular endothelial cells by fusing recombinant MHCC97H cells expressing porcine α-1,3-galactose epitopes (αGal) and endorphin extracellular domains (END) with dendritic cells (DCs) from healthy volunteers. END⁺/Gal⁺-MHCC97H/DC fusion cells induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). CTLs targeted cells expressing αGal and END and tumor angiogenesis. The fused cell vaccine can effectively inhibit tumor growth and prolong the survival time of human hepatoma mice, indicating the high clinical potential of this new cell based vaccine.

Objective:To study the correlation between liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) category with tumor differentiation, Ki67 index, microvascular infiltration, and predictive prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiological data of 178 patients with HCC who were confirmed by histopathological studies after liver resection between January 2015 and September 2020 at Lishui Central Hospital and Lishui People’s Hospital. There were 156 males and 22 females, with age of (57±10) years old. These patients were assessed for LI-RADS categories according to the 2018 version of LI-RADS, and they were divided into 4 groups according to the assessment results: 12 patients with LI-RADS-3 (the LI-RADS-3 group); 26 patients with LI-RADS-4 (the LI-RADS-4 group); 102 patients with LI-RADS-5 (the LI-RADS-5 group); and 38 patients with LI-RADS-M (the LI-RADS-M group). The patients' general information, tumor markers, pathology and other clinical data were recorded. Correlation analysis between the LI-RADS category with pathology was performed by the Kendall's tau-b test. Survival analysis between groups was performed by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the relationship between these variables with the risk of death.Results:The Kendall's tau-b test showed that LI-RADS category was positively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation ( t=0.204, P=0.002), but not with microvascular infiltration and Ki 67 index ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for 4.2 to 84.2 months (median follow-up 36.3 months). By the end of follow-up, 31 patients had died and 147 patients were alive. The cumulative 1-year and 3-year survival rates of the LI-RADS-5 group were 97% and 90% respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the LI-RADS-M group (81% and 63%), and the LI-RADS-4 group (96% and 81%), ( P<0.05). The cumulative 1-year and 3-year survival rates of patients in the LI-RADS-3 group were 100% and 67% respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference with the LI-RADS-5 group ( P>0.05). The Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that tumor glycoantigen 199 (>50 μl/ml) to be an independent influencing factor in survival of HCC patients ( HR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.24-0.76, P=0.004). Conclusion:The LI-RADS category of HCC was positively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, and patients with HCC meeting the LI-RADS-5 criteria had relatively better prognosis.

Objective:To study the correlation between occupational radiation exposure and chronic metabolic diseases.Methods:The status of chronic metabolic diseases of medical workers were compared in 5 hospitals in Hangzhou. As representatives of chronic metabolic diseases, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MS) were compared in association with duration of radiation exposure.Results:Long-term ionizing radiation (IR) exposure was led to increased blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG) , dyslipidemia, gallbladder disease, and MS. The years of radiation exposure was associated with lens opacity, gallstone and MS in men and gallbladder polyps in women. Radiation working more than 10 years is one of the independent risk factors for increased FBG and MS. Moreover, the risk of FBG increase in the group of radiation working more than 10 years was 3.052 times of that the non-exposed group, and the risk of MS occurrence was 4.132 times that of the non-exposed group.Conclusion:Long-term exposure to IR increases the risk of chronic metabolic diseases.
