Objective To determine the risk factors and prognostic survival of patients with para-aortic lymph node metastasis of advanced esophagogastric junction malignancy by comparing their general clinicopathological characteristics and regional lymph node metastasis status with those of patients with negative para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Methods This single-center retrospective case study collected the clinical and pathological data of 224 patients with esophagogastric junction malignant tumors undergoing radical resection. Single factor affecting lymph node metastasis in group 16 was analyzed by chi square test, and multiple factors were examined using logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Log rank test was used for survival rate comparison. Results Among the 224 patients with advanced esophagogastric junction malignant tumors, (1) Univariate analysis showed that Siewert classification, tumor diameter, pathological stage, T stage, and N stage were associated with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Meanwhile, multivariate logistic analysis showed that Siewert type and tumor diameter were independent risk factors for positive metastasis (P<0.05); (2) Among the 17 groups of regional lymph nodes with para-aortic lymph node metastasis, univariate analysis revealed that No.5, No.6, No.111, and No.112 lymph nodes were not correlated with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). The remaining 13 groups of regional lymph nodes were all associated with para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Meanwhile, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that No.7, No.11p, and No.110 lymph nodes were independent risk factors for metastasis (P<0.05). When the regional lymph node metastasis in these three groups was negative, the positive rate of para-aortic lymph node metastasis was only 4.7%. When at least one of these groups had regional lymph node metastasis, the positive metastasis rate was up to 47.4%; (3) The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rates of the patients with positive para-aortic lymph node metastasis after surgery were 76.5% and 8.1%, respectively, and those in negative patients were 98.3% and 76.8%, respectively. Log rank test showed a significant difference in overall survival rate between the patients with positive and negative para-aortic lymph node metastasis (P<0.001). Conclusion (1) Preoperative examination of patients with advanced esophagogastric junction malignant tumors should clarify the tumor type and maximum diameter. Patients with Siewert type Ⅱ and Ⅲ and maximum tumor diameter of >6 cm are recommended to undergo para-aortic lymph node dissection. (2) Frozen biopsy of lymph nodes of No.7 and No.11p is performed during the operation, and the para-aortic lymph nodes should be dissected if the metastasis is found to be positive, which is helpful for the clinical surgeon to judge the dissection of the para-aortic lymph nodes.

Objective:To analyze the status of respiratory pathogen detection and the clinical features in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods:A prospective, multicenter study was conducted to collect clinical data, including medical history, laboratory examinations and multiplex PCR tests of children diagnosed with MPP from 4 hospitals in China between November 15 th and December 20 th, 2023. The multiplex PCR results and clinical characteristics of MPP children in different regions were analyzed. The children were divided into severe and mild groups according to the severity of the disease. Patients in the severe group were further divided into Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) alone and Multi-pathogen co-detection groups based on whether other pathogens were detected besides MP, to analyze the influence of respiratory pathogen co-detection rate on the severity of the disease. Mann-Whitney rank sum test and Chi-square test were used to compare data between independent groups. Results:A total of 298 children, 136 males and 162 females, were enrolled in this study, including 204 children in the severe group with an onset age of 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) years, and 94 children in the mild group with an onset age of 6.5 (4.0, 7.8) years. The level of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher (10.0 (5.0, 18.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0, 7.5) mg/L, 0.6 (0.4, 1.1) vs. 0.5 (0.3, 0.6) mg/L, 337 (286, 431) vs. 314 (271, 393) U/L, Z=2.02, 2.50, 3.05, all P<0.05), and the length of hospitalization was significantly longer in the severe group compared with those in mild group (6.0 (6.0, 7.0) vs. 5.0 (4.0, 6.0) d, Z=4.37, P<0.05). The time from onset to admission in severe MPP children was significantly shorter than that in mild MPP children (6.0 (5.0, 9.5) vs. 9.0 (7.0, 13.0) d, Z=2.23, P=0.026). All patients completed the multiplex PCR test, with 142 cases (47.7%) MPP children detected with 21 pathogens including adenovirus 25 cases (8.4%), human coronavirus 23 cases (7.7%), rhinovirus 21 cases (7.0%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 21 cases (7.0%), influenza A virus 18 cases (6.0%). The pathogens with the highest detection rates in Tianjin, Shanghai, Wenzhou and Chengdu were Staphylococcus aureus at 10.7% (8/75), adenovirus at 13.0% (10/77), adenovirus at 15.3% (9/59), and both rhinovirus and Haemophilus influenzae at 11.5% (10/87) each. The multi-pathogen co-detection rate in severe MPP children was significantly higher than that in mild MPP group (52.9% (108/204) vs. 36.2% (34/94), χ2=10.62, P=0.005). Among severe MPP children, there are 89 cases in the multi-pathogen co-detection group and 73 cases in the simple MPP group. The levels of LDH, D-dimer and neutrophil counts in the multi-pathogen co-detection group were significantly higher than those in the simple MPP group (348 (284, 422) vs. 307 (270, 358) U/L, 0.8 (0.5, 1.5) vs. 0.6 (0.4, 1.0) mg/L, 4.99 (3.66, 6.89)×10 9vs. 4.06 (2.91, 5.65)×10 9/L, Z=5.17, 4.99, 6.11, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The co-detection rate of respiratory pathogens, LDH and D-dimer in children with severe MPP were higher than those with mild MPP. Among severe MPP children the stress response of children in co-detection group was more serious than that of children with simple MPP.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agent therapy in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CMML).Methods:From February 2014 to June 2021,the clinical data,efficacy,survival time and safety of CMML patients diagnosed in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and treated with hypomethylating agent therapy were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 25 CMML patients received hypomethylating agent therapy,including 18 cases treated with decitabine(DEC)and 7 cases treated with azacytidine(AZA)as the basic treatment.Among them,20 patients responded,and 7 patients got complete remission(CR).All patients with CR were treated with DEC as the basic treatment.Five cases of CR occurred in the first 4 courses of treatment.After a median follow-up of 16.4(9.4-20.5)months,4 patients with CR progressed to acute myeloid leukemia(AML).The median overall survival(OS)time of 25 CMML patients was 17.4 months(95％CI:12.437-22.363).According to MD Anderson prognostic scoring system(MDAPS),CMML-specific prognostic scoring system(CPSS),CPSS molecular(CPSS-mol),Mayo molecular model(MMM),risk stratification of patients was performed,and the difference only between different risk stratification of MDAPS and survival time was statistically significant.Common adverse reactions of hypomethylating agent therapy in CMML patients included infection,gastrointestinal reaction,hematological toxicity,skin allergy and liver function damage.All patients'symptoms were improved after corresponding treatment.Conclusion:Hypomethylating agent therapy is effective and safe for CMML patients.CR mostly occurs in the first 4 courses of treatment,and hypomethylating agent therapy combined with low-dose chemotherapy can be used for patients who do not respond.Hypomethylating agent therapy can delay the disease,but can't prevent progression.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes and prognosis of transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm and traditional thoracoabdominal combination approach for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 59 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who underwent radical total gastrectomy in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and all patients were divided into the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group (30 cases) and the thoracoabdominal combination group (29 cases) according to surgical access. The general data, perioperative indexes, postoperative complications and postoperative survival of patients in the two groups were compared. Factors influencing the overall survival were analyzed by using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The differences in terms of gender, age, tumor diameter, pT staging, and pN staging between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The length of esophageal invasion was (3.5±1.1) cm and (3.7±1.1) cm, respectively in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group and the thoracoabdominal combination group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t = -0.70, P = 0.486). Compared with the thoracoabdominal combination group, the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group had less operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative bedtime, chest tube extraction time and postoperative hospitalization days, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05); the differences in the number of lymph nodes cleared, the number of positive lymph nodes, the number of thoracic lymph node dissection, and the number of positive thoracic lymph node were not statistically significant in the two groups (all P > 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group and the thoracoabdominal combination group were 53.3% (16/30) and 72.4% (21/29), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 2.30, P = 0.130), while the incidence of lung infection and pleural effusion in the thoracoabdominal combination group was higher than that in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group (both P<0.05). The 1- and 3-year postoperative overall survival rates were 80.0%, 63.3% in the transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm group, and 79.3%, 62.1% in the thoracoabdominal combination group, respectively, and the difference in overall survival between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2 = 0.01, P = 0.934). Multivariate analysis showed that pT staging ( HR = 4.009, 95% CI: 1.851-8.683, P < 0.001) and pN staging ( HR = 2.338, 95% CI: 1.435-3.811, P = 0.001) were the independent influencing factors of overall survival. Conclusions:For patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction with esophageal invasion length > 3 cm, transabdominal opening of the left diaphragm approach can reduce intraoperative bleeding and postoperative chest complications, and it has the advantages of shorter operation, hospitalization time, and less trauma, which can help to accelerate the recovery of the patients; pT and pN staging are the independent factors influencing the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy of laparoscopic pro-ximal gastrectomy (LPG) for proximal gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 385 patients with proximal gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction who underwent LPG in the 15 medical centers, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University et al, from January 2014 to March 2022 were collected. There were 304 males and 81 females, aged (63±9)years.

(2) Follow-up. Of the 385 patients,202 cases were followed up during the post-operative 12 months, including 187 cases in the laparoscopic group and 15 cases in the open group. Cases with reflux esophagitis, cases with esophageal anastomotic stenosis were 48, 11 in patients of the laparoscopic group, versus 5, 2 in patients of the open group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). The body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (Alb) at postoperative 6 months and 12 months were (21±3)kg/m 2, (130±15)g/L, (40±4)g/L and (21±3)kg/m 2, (132±14)g/L, (41±4)g/L in patients of the laparoscopic group, versus (21±3)kg/m 2, (121±19)g/L, (37±5)g/L and (21±3)kg/m 2, (125±21)g/L, (43±6)g/L in patients of the open group. There were significant differences in postoperative Hb between the two groups ( Fgroup=5.88, Ftime=5.49, Finteraction=19.95, P<0.05) and there were significant differences in time effect of postopera-tive BMI and Alb between the two groups ( Ftime=9.53, 49.88, P<0.05). (3) Stratified analysis. ① Incidence of postoperative of reflux esophagitis and esophageal anastomotic stenosis in patients with different reconstruction of digestive tract. Of the 202 patients, cases with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophagogastric anastomosis and esophageal-jejunal anastomosis were 168 and 34, respectively. The incidence rates of postoperative of reflux esophagitis were 26.79%(45/168)and 23.53%(8/34)in cases with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophagogastric anastomosis and esophageal-jejunal anastomosis, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.16, P>0.05). Cases undergoing esophageal anastomotic stenosis were 13 in patients with reconstruction of diges-tive tract as esophagogastric anastomosis. ② The BMI, Hb, Alb in patients with different reconstruc-tion of digestive tract. The BMI, Hb, Alb were (24±3)kg/m 2, (135±20)g/L, (41±5)g/L in the 168 patients with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophagogastric anastomosis before the operation, versus (23±3)kg/m 2, (130±19)g/L, (40±4)g/L in the 34 patients with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophageal-jejunal anastomosis before the operation, showing no significant difference between them ( t=1.44, 1.77, 1.33, P>0.05). The BMI, Hb, Alb at postoperative 6 months and 12 months were (21±3)kg/m 2, (128±16)g/L, (39±4)g/L and (21±3)kg/m 2, (131±16)g/L, (41±4)g/L in the 168 patients with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophagogastric anastomosis, versus (20±4)kg/m 2, (133±13)g/L, (43±3)g/L and (21±3)kg/m 2, (135±12)g/L, (44±3)g/L in the 34 patients with reconstruction of digestive tract as esophageal-jejunal anastomosis.

Conclusion:LPG can be used to the treatment of proximal gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction, with a good safety and short-term efficacy.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors and establish a model predicting the performance of needle visualization in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules. Methods This study prospectively included 175 patients who underwent FNA of thyroid nodules in the Department of Ultrasound in China-Japan Friendship Hospital and compared the display of the needle tips in the examination of 199 thyroid nodules before and after the application of needle visualization.We recorded the location,the positional relationship with thyroid capsule,ultrasonic characteristics,and the distribution of the soft tissue strip structure at the puncture site of the nodules with unclear needle tips display before using needle visualization.Furthermore,according to the thyroid imaging reporting and data system proposed by the American College of Radiology,we graded the risk of the nodules.Lasso-Logistic regression was employed to screen out the factors influencing the performance of needle visualization and establish a nomogram for prediction. Results The needle tips were not clearly displayed in the examination of 135 (67.8%) and 53 (26.6%) nodules before and after the application of needle visualization,respectively,which showed a significant difference (P<0.001).Based on the positional relationship between the nodule and capsule,anteroposterior/transverse diameter (A/T) ratio,blood supply,and the distribution of subcutaneous strip structure at the puncture site,a nomogram was established to predict the probability of unclear display of the needle tips after application of needle visualization.The C-index of the prediction model was 0.75 (95%CI=0.67-0.84) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.72.The calibration curve confirmed the appreciable reliability of the prediction model,with the C-index of 0.70 in internal validation. Conclusions Needle visualization can improve the display of the needle tip in ultrasound-guided FNA of thyroid nodules.The nomogram established based on ultrasound features such as the positional relationship between the nodule and capsule,A/T ratio,blood supply,and the distribution of subcutaneous strip structure at the puncture site can predict whether needle visualization is suitable for the examination of nodules.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with allergic diseases suffering from SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant strains. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 43 pediatric patients with allergic diseases infected by SARS-CoV-2 from April 25, 2022 to June 8, 2022 in Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were selected as the allergic disease group, while 114 cases without underlying diseases and 16 cases with other underlying diseases were selected as control groups diagnosed at the same period. Clinical data including clinical features, laboratory tests, duration of hospitalization, and the time to negative turn of novel coronavirus nucleic acid were collected and analysed. Kruskal-Wallis H test, chi-square test or Fisher exact test were used for comparison among three groups. Results: Among the 43 patients with allergic diseases, 28 were males and 15 were females, with an age of 4.4 (2.1, 8.2) years on admission, including 32 mild cases and 11 common cases. The allergic disease group included 20 cases (46.5%) of atopic dermatitis and eczema, followed by 14 cases (32.6%) of rhinitis, 8 cases (18.6%) of food allergies, 7 cases (16.3%) of asthma, 4 cases (9.3%) of allergic conjunctivitis and 2 cases (4.7%) of drug allergy. Among the 114 cases without underlying diseases, 57 were males and 57 were females, with an age of 2.8 (1.2, 5.6) years on admission, including 93 mild cases and 21 common cases. Among the 16 cases with other underlying diseases, 9 were males and 7 were females, with an age of 3.0 (2.6, 10.8) years on admission, including 13 cases mild and 3 cases common cases. Children with allergic diseases had higher frequency of sore throat and vomiting than those without underlying diseases (10 cases (23.3%) vs.9 cases (7.9%), 14 cases (32.6%) vs. 11 cases (9.6%), χ²=6.93, 12.24, both P<0.05). The lymphocyte count of patients with allergic disease was lower than those without underlying disease (1.1 (0.7,1.7)×10⁹ vs. 1.6 (1.1,2.7)×10⁹/L, H=-28.00,P=0.005). There were no significant differences in age, gender, typing of SARS-CoV-2, the duration of hospitalization, cycle threshold values of SARS-CoV-2 and the time to negative turn of novel coronavirus nucleic acid among the three groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Children with allergic diseases may suffer from sore throat and vomiting more frequently when infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. The combination of allergic diseases hardly influenced the disease course of SARS-CoV-2 in children.

GI (GIGANTEA) is one of the output key genes for circadian clock in the plant. The JrGI gene was cloned and its expression in different tissues was analyzed to facilitate the functional research of JrGI. RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) was used to clone JrGI gene in present study. This gene was then analyzed by bioinformatics, subcellular localization and gene expression. The coding sequence (CDS) full length of JrGI gene was 3 516 bp, encoding 1 171 amino acids with a molecular mass of 128.60 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 6.13. It was a hydrophilic protein. Phylogenetic analysis showed that JrGI of 'Xinxin 2' was highly homologous to GI of Populus euphratica. The result of subcellular localization showed that JrGI protein was located in nucleus. The JrGI, JrCO and JrFT genes in female flower buds undifferentiated and early differentiated of 'Xinxin 2' were analyzed by RT-qPCR (real-time quantitative PCR). The results showed that the expression of JrGI, JrCO and JrFT genes were the highest on morphological differentiation, implying the temporal and special regulation of JrGI in the differential process of female flower buds of'Xinxin 2'. In addition, RT-qPCR analysis showed that JrGI gene was expressed in all tissues examined, whereas the expression level in leaves was the highest. It is suggested that JrGI gene plays a key role in the development of walnut leaves.

Objective:To explore the effects of Changtong Recipe on levels of intestinal neurotransmitters and inflammatory cytokines in the elderly with functional constipation (FC).Methods:A total of 90 elderly patients with FC meeting the inclusion criteria in the hospital were enrolled between June 2020 and October 2021. According to the principle of random allocation, they were divided into control group (45 cases, treated with oral polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder) and treatment group (45 cases, Changtong Recipe). All were treated for 3 months and followed up for 30 d. Before and after treatment, TCM symptoms were scored. The levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and substance P (SP) were detected by radioimmunoassay. The levels of IL-17A and IL-18 were detected by ELISA. The constipation severity and quality of life were evaluated by clinical constipation scale (CCS) and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life scale (PAC-QOL). The adverse events during treatment and recurrence during follow-up were recorded. The clinical responsive effect was evaluated.Results:After treatment, there were 44 cases in treatment group and 43 cases in control group included into the statistics. The differences in total response rate between treatment group and control group were statistically significant [97.7% (43/44) vs. 81.4% (35/43); χ2=6.25, P=0.012]. After treatment, scores of TCM symptoms (mental fatigue, shortness of breath and abdominal distension, foreign body sensation in the throat, palpitation, cold extremities) and total score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=3.71, 10.25, 2.87, 2.87, 5.68, 26.94, all Ps<0.01), and scores of CCS and PAC-QOL were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=11.71, 18.84, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, levels of serum VIP [(41.86±1.16) ng/L vs. (35.71±1.97) ng/L, t=17.79] and SP [(42.15±1.90) ng/L vs. (39.53±2.13) ng/L, t=6.06] in treatment group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01), while levels of IL-17A [(35.71±5.97 ) pg/L vs. (41.86±5.16) pg/L, t=5.14] and IL-18 [(22.15±3.90) pg/L vs. (26.53±4.13) pg/L, t=5.09] in treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). During treatment, difference in incidence of adverse events between treatment group and control group was not statistically significant [9.1% (4/44) vs. 14.0% (6/43); χ2=0.13, P=0.716]. During the 30d of follow-up, differences in recurrence rate between treatment group and control group were statistically significant [2.3% (1/44) vs. 16.3% (7/43); χ2=5.11, P=0.024]. Conclusion:The Changtong Recipe can improve levels of intestinal neurotransmitters (VIP, SP) and quality of life in elderly patients with FC, reduce levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-17A, IL-18) and improve clinical curative effect safely.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the incidence and risk factors of readmission of elderly patients with hip fracture after hip hemiarthroplasty. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 237 elderly hip fracture patients who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty from February 2015 to October 2020 were performed. According to the readmission status of the patients at 3 months postoperatively, the patients were divided into readmission group (39 cases)and non-readmission group(198 cases). In readmission group, there were 7 males and 32 females with an average age of(84.59±4.34) years old, respectively, there were 34 males and 164 females with average age of (84.65±4.17) years old in non-readmission group. The general information, surgical status, hip Harris score and complications of patients in two groups were included in univariate analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors of patients' readmission. RESULTS: The proportion of complications(cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease) in readmission group was significantly higher than that of non-readmission group (P<0.05), and intraoperative blood loss in readmission group was significantly higher than that of non-readmission group(P<0.05). Harris score of hip joint was significantly lower than that of non-readmission group(P<0.05). The proportion of infection, delirium, joint dislocation, anemia and venous thrombosis in readmission group were significantly higher than that of non-readmission group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for readmission of elderly patients with hip fracture after hip hemiarthroplasty included cerebral infarction, infection, delirium, dislocation, anemia and venous thrombosis (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION The complications of the elderly patients who were readmission after hip hemiarthroplasty for hip fractures were significantly higher than those who were non-readmission. Cerebral infarction, infection, delirium, dislocation, anemia and venous thrombosis are risk factors that lead to patient readmission. Corresponding intervention measures can be taken clinically based on these risk factors to reduce the incidence of patient readmissions.
