Objective:To explore the clinical significance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detection in screening patients with hepatitis B.Methods:Clinical data of 682 331 hepatitis B patients were retrospectively analyzed. The HBV DNA of these patients was detected in the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021, there were 481 159 males and 201 172 females in this cohort, the average age was (41.34±16.13) years. Patients were divided into HBV DNA positive group (219 879 cases) and HBV DNA negative group (462 452 cases). Clinical characteristics, data of five serologic markers of hepatitis B and hepatitis B surface antigen quantification (HBsAg-QN), liver function, alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and prothrombin time (PT) results were collected and analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results:The positive rate of HBV DNA was 32.22% (219 879/682 331) in this cohort. Among the different age groups, the positive rate of HBV DNA was the highest (40.34%, 128 038/317 380) in young people aged 18-44 years. The proportion of patients was lower among aged <1, 45-59 and ≥60 years patients in HBV DNA positive group than that in HBV DNA negative group, while the proportion of patients was higher among aged 1-17 and 18-44 years patients in HBV DNA positive group than that in HBV DNA negative group (all P<0.001). Among 2 291 <1-year-old infants tested for HBV DNA, 71 infants were HBV DNA positive. The positive rates of HBV DNA from 2017 to 2021 were 4.86% (27/556), 3.68% (14/380), 3.47% (17/490), 1.55% (6/386) and 1.46% (7/479) respectively, showing a downward trend year by year. The positive rate of HBV DNA in acute hepatitis B (AHB) patients was the highest (49.88%, 208/417) among 680 040 patients with hepatitis B. The proportion of AHB patients (0.09%, 208/219 808) and chronic hepatitis B (80.44%, 176 806/219 808) in HBV DNA positive group was higher than that in HBV DNA negative group [0.05% (209/460 232) and 65.45% (301, 216/460 232)], while the proportion of patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (11.28%, 24 793/219 808), HBV-related liver cancer (6.72%, 14 775/219 808), liver cancer surgery (1.39%, 3 055/219 808) and liver transplantation (0.08%, 171/219 808) were lower than that in HBV DNA negative group [22.99% (105 813/460 232), 7.25% (33 385/460 232), 3.50% (16 129/460 232) and 0.76% (3 480/460 232)] (all P<0.001). At the same time, positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), HBsAg-QN, hepatitis B e antigen (HbeAg), level of total bilirubin, total bilirubin, AFP and PT were higher in HBV DNA positive group than those in HBV DNA negative group, while the age, male ratio and albumin results in HBV DNA positive group were lower than those in HBV DNA negative group (all P<0.01). The HBV DNA loads were higher in HBsAg positive group, hepatitis B surface antibody positive group and HBeAg positive group than those in respective negative groups, while the HBV DNA loads were lower in hepatitis B e antibody positive group and hepatitis B core antibody positive group than those in respective negative groups (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The mother to child transmission rate of<1-year-old infants decreases year by year. HBV DNA is an important factor for the progression of hepatitis B disease. HBV DNA positive hepatitis B patients with higher HBsAg-QN values are more likely to have abnormal serum markers such as liver dysfunction. HBV DNA detection is therefore of clinical importance in screening patients with hepatitis B.

Objective:To compare the effects of thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy and thoracoscopic lobectomy on patients' respiratory function.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 326 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from July 2016 to July 2019(209 patients underwent anatomical segmentectomy, 117 patients underwent lobectomy). According to variables including gender, age, tumor location, smoking history and BMI, two propensity score-matched cohorts including 89 patients respectively were constructed. The patients’ baseline data and respiratory function date of the patients pre-operation and post-operation were analyzed. The measurement data that obey the normal distribution were described by mean±standard deviation, and the t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data of non-normal distribution was described by the median value( P25, P75), and the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for the comparison between groups; The data was described by frequency, and the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method was used for comparison between groups. Results:At the first-month follow-up after surgery, there was no significant difference in the variation of FVC[(0.48±0.40)L vs.(0.34±0.37)L, P=0.215)and FEV1[(0.52±0.46)L vs.(0.43±0.77)L, P=0.364), and in the change rate of FVC(%)[15.23(8.74, 21.25) vs. 14.58(7.75, 19.40), P=0.122], FEV1(%)[17.25(9.56, 22.78) vs. 16.42(9.15, 20.28), P=0.154]and DLCO(%)[18.54(10.88, 25.68)vs. 17.45(9.58, 23.75) P=0.245]. Between the segmentectomy group and lobectomy group, there was a significant difference in the alteration of FVC[(0.50±0.47)L vs. (0.29±0.31)L, P=0.031] and FEV1[(0.44±0.34)L vs.(0.24±0.23)L, P<0.001], the change rate of FVC(%)[14.27(7.87, 22.32) vs. 9.95(5.56, 17.24), P=0.008]、FEV1(%)[15.23(8.36, 22.17)vs. 10.05(5.15, 18.54), P<0.001]and DLCO(%)[13.74(6.24, 19.78) vs. 4.45(-2.32, 13.75), P=0.023]in the 6th month after surgery. The lobectomy group had a higher variation of FEV1[(0.34±0.49)L vs.(0.18±0.26)L, P=0.006] and change rate of FVC(%)[9.28(2.15, 18.94) vs. 5.24(0.52, 11.45), P=0.0032] and FEV1(%)[10.45(3.15, 21.32) vs. 6.50(1.55, 14.24), P<0.001] in the first year after surgery. However, the variation of FVC[(0.29±0.36)L vs.(0.21±0.24)L, P=0.176) and the change rate of DLCO(%)[8.35(2.15, 16.45) vs. 6.23(2.12, 14.54), P=0.143] didn't show a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion:Whether in the short or the middle postoperative period, segmentectomy can preserve postoperative respiratory function than lobectomy.

Objective:To compare the setup errors in the supraclavicular regions of two different postures (arms placed on each side of the body, namely the body side group; arms crossed and elbows placed above forehead, namely the uplifted group) using the chest and abdomen flat frame fixation device in lung and esophageal cancer.Methods:Clinical data of patients with stage Ⅰ to Ⅳ lung or esophageal cancer who received three-dimensional radiotherapy with chest and abdomen flat frame fixation device in our institution from November 2020 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The setup errors of two postures were compared.Results:A total of 56 patients were included, including 31 patients (55%) in the body side group and 25 patients (45%) in the uplifted group. A total of 424 CBCTs were performed in the whole group. The overall setup errors in the X, Y and Z directions were similar in both groups ( P>0.05). The setup errors of sternoclavicular joint in the X and RZ directions in the body side group were significantly smaller than those in the uplifted group [(0.163±0.120) cm vs. (0.209 ±0.152) cm, P=0.033; 0.715°±0.628° vs. 0.910°±0.753°, P=0.011]. The setup errors of acromioclavicular joint in the Y, Z and RZ directions in the body side group were significantly smaller than those in the uplifted group [(0.233±0.135) cm vs. (0.284±0.193) cm, P=0.033; (0.202±0.140) cm vs. (0.252±0.173) cm, P=0.005; 0.671°±0.639° vs. 0.885°±0.822°, P=0.023]. The margins of target volume for setup errors were smaller in the X (0.45 cm vs. 0.54 cm) and Y (0.54 cm vs. 0.65 cm) directions of the sternoclavicular joint, as well as in the Y (0.59 cm vs. 0.78 cm) and Z directions (0.53 cm vs. 0.72 cm) of the acromioclavicular joint in the body side group. Conclusions:For lung and esophageal cancer patients requiring supraclavicular irradiation, the body side group yields smaller setup errors and corresponding margins of target volume than the uplifted group. In clinical practice, it is necessary to take comprehensive consideration of the accuracy of radiotherapy and additional radiation of the limbs to select appropriate posture.

Objective:To explore the regulation effect and possible mechanism of transcutaneous electrical acustimulation (TEA) on the improvement of gastrointestinal motility and inflammation in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:A randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled study was performed. A total of 62 AP patients were randomly divided into the TEA group ( n=31) and sham-TEA group ( n=31), on the basis of regular treatment, who received TEA treatment at Neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST36) or sham-TEA treatment at corresponding pseudo stimulation acupoints for 2 days. Abdominal distension score, time to first defecation, gastric slow wave, heart rate variability (low frequency and high frequency, reflecting sympathetic and vagal activity, respectively), serum level of tumor tecrosis factor (TNF)-α, plasma levels of motilin, ghrelin and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay were compared before and after the treatment. Wilcoxon rank test, Mann-Whitney U test, t-test and two factor repeated measurement analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Results:After the treatment, abdominal distension score of TEA group was lower than that of sham-TEA group(1 (0 to 2) vs.5(3 to 6)) and time to first defecation was earlier than that of sham-TEA group((55.00±24.27) h vs.(67.95±23.84) h), the percentage of normal gastric slow wave was higher than that of sham-TEA group((57.42±11.16)% vs. (40.92±8.52)%), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-4.95、 t=-2.12、 F=61.53, all P<0.05). After the treatment, the serum level of TNF-α of TEA group was significantly lower than that of sham-TEA group((4.27±1.28) ng/L vs.(6.19±2.03) ng/L), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=28.65, P<0.05). The ratio of post/pre-treatment of low frequency heart rate variability of the TEA group was significantly lower than that of sham-TEA group, however, the result of high frequency was opposite (0.87±0.18 vs.1.14±0.16, 1.19±0.18 vs.0.96±0.13), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-6.22 and 5.74, both P<0.05). After the treatment, the plasma level of ghrelin of TEA group was higher than that of sham-TEA group ((2.02±0.62) μg/L vs. (0.93±0.49) μg/L), the VIP level was lower than of sham-TEA group ((30.58±12.20) μg/L vs.(44.35±29.52) μg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( F=59.22 and 5.50, both P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in motilin levels between two groups ((24.57±9.58) ng/L vs. (22.75±9.58) ng/L, P>0.05). Conclusion:TEA treatment can improve gastrointestinal motility and inhibit the inflammation in early AP, which may be related with the regulation of autonomic function, gastrointestinal hormone ghrelin and VIP.

Objective:To understand the molecular epidemic characteristics and genes of human astrovirus (HAstV) in infantile diarrhea patients in Jilin province from 2017 to 2020.Methods:Fecal samples of hospitalized infants with diarrhea under 5 years of age from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. The nucleic acids of fecal samples were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the positive amplification products were sequenced, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:A total of 2 019 fecal samples were collected, of which 71 were positive for HAstV, with a positive rate of 3.5%. Among the cases with positive samples of HAstV, 42 had mixed infection with other viruses causing diarrhea, accounting for 59.2% of the total number of positive cases, half of which were mixed infection with rotavirus and HAstV. From 2017 to 2020, the positive rates of HAstV were 4.69%, 1.98%, 5.93% and 0.43% per year, respectively. There were two epidemic peaks every year and one epidemic peak year every two years. The positive rate of 36-47 months old was the highest, followed by 0-2 months old. A total of 55 sequences were obtained in this study. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that they all belonged to classical HAstV, including 42 HAstV-1a subtypes, 8 HAstV-1b subtypes and 5 HAstV-5 subtypes.Conclusions:HAstV is one of the important pathogens of diarrhea in children under 5 years of age in Jilin province. The epidemic law has obvious seasonal and age differences. The dominant strain is HAstV-1a.

Objective:In this article, we analyzed and discussed the clinical characteristics and S region gene sequencing of hepatitis B virus in HBsAg anti-HBs coexistent patients.Methods:Data of 5 serologic markers of hepatitis B and quantitative result, liver function and HBV DNA load of HBsAg positive patients were collected, and their basic clinical information were recorded. According to the positive and negative result of Anti-HBs, the clinical and virological characteristics of these two groups were analyzed. At the same time, among 17 320 patients with HBsAg positive HBV infection, 994 cases were tested by gene sequencing. The S region amino acid mutation, site mutation detection rate and genotype of 994 HBV infected patients with gene sequencing were statistically analyzed.Results:The positive rate of HBsAg and Anti-HBs was 4.36% (756/17 320). HBV-related cirrhosis in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs+ group (19.71%) was significantly higher than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group (15.94%), while chronic hepatitis B (62.04%) was significantly lower than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group (67.06%). At the same time, the positive rates of HBsAg-quantification (QN) and ALT in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs+ group were significantly lower than those in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group, the positive rate of HBeAg was significantly higher than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group, and the HBV DNA was higher than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group, but the difference was no statistical significance. Gene sequencing was performed in 994 HBV patients. Genotype C (81.79%) had the highest proportion, genotype B (17.40%) was the second, and genotype D (0.80%) was the least in two groups. In genotype C HBV infected patients, the detection rate of sP120Q/T/A/S mutant in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs+ group was significantly higher than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group. Meanwhile, regardless of genotype B or C or overall comparison, the detection rate of sG145A/E/K/R mutant of HBV infected patients in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs+ group was significantly higher than that in HBsAg+ /Anti-HBs-group, these differences were all statistically significant.Conclusions:The hepatitis B patients with coexistence of HBsAg and Anti-HBs were more likely to develop cirrhosis, and the hepatitis B patients with HBV gene sequencing results were mainly type C2. The drug resistance variation of S-region sP120Q/T/A/S and sG145A/E/K/R mutants of patients with HBV infection is an important reason for the coexistence of HBsAg and Anti-HBS.

Objective:To understand the common viral infection among the surveillance cases of fever respiratory syndrome (FRS) in nine provinces in China.Methods:The research data were obtained from nine provinces (Anhui, Beijing, Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, Jilin, Shandong, Shaanxi and Xinjiang) in the "Infectious Disease Surveillance Technology Platform Information Management System" of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2009 to June 2021. Finally, 8 243 FRS cases with nucleic acid detection results of eight viruses [human influenza virus (HIFV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human adenovirus (HAdV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human coronavirus (HCoV) and human Boca virus (HBoV)] were included in the study. The χ 2 test/Fisher exact probability method was used to analyze the difference of virus detection rate in different age groups, regions and seasons. Results The M ( Q1, Q3) age of 8 243 FRS cases was 4 (1, 18) years old, and 56.56% (4 662 cases) were children under 5 years old. Males accounted for 58.1% (4 792 cases) of all cases. All cases were from outpatient/emergency department (2 043 cases) and inpatient department (6 200 cases). The virus detection rates of FRS cases from high to low were HRSV, HIFV, HPIV, HRV, HAdV, HMPV, HCoV and HBoV. Two or more viruses were detected simultaneously in 524 cases, accounting for 15.66% of virus-positive cases. The difference of the virus detection rate in different age groups was statistically significant (all P values<0.05), and the virus detection rate in children<5 years old was higher (49.96%). The positive rate of any virus in south China was higher than that in north China ( P<0.001). The virus-positive FRS cases were detected throughout the year. The detection rate of HRSV was higher in autumn and winter. The detection rate of HIFV was higher in winter. The detection rate of HMPV was higher in winter and spring. The detection rates of HPIV, HRV, HCoV and HBoV were higher in summer and autumn, while there was no significant difference in the detection rate of HAdV in different seasons. Compared with 2009-2019, the detection rate of any virus in 2020-2021 decreased from 41.37% to 37.86%. The detection rate of HIFV decreased sharply from 10.62% to 1.37%. The detection rate of HPIV decreased from 8.24% to 5.88%. The detection rate of HRV and HBoV increased from 5.43% and 1.79% to 9.67% and 3.19%, respectively. Conclusion:HRSV and HIFV infections are more common among FRS cases in nine provinces in China from 2009 to 2021, and the epidemiological characteristics of eight common respiratory viruses vary in different age groups, regions and seasons.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing year by year, but the clinical diagnosis and treatment progress is limited and the prognosis is poor. Tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to the invasion, metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of pancreatic cancer. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are fibroblasts in a state of continuous activation, which are the most prominent components in TME. CAFs can promote the malignant biological behavior of pancreatic cancer through a variety of molecule-mediated mechanisms. Moreover, several attempts targeting CAFs for the treatment of pancreatic cancer have been largely unsuccessful. It may be related to the heterogeneity of CAFs in pancreatic cancer. Therefore, in-depth study of its heterogeneity and accurate targeting of some specific phenotypes and functional CAFs subtypes in the matrix on this basis may be more promising in the clinical treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To establish a supportive and effective management mode of scientific research project application, promote the capacity building of scientific research in the hospital.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on the national and provincial scientific research projects of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University Medical School from 2010 to 2019, and the practical effect of " point to point" management mode of scientific research project application was evaluated.Results:The funding rate of Xinhua Hospital, especially national scientific research projects and provincial talents projects, was greatly improved by adoption of the multi-dimensional " point to point" management mode of scientific research project application. The number of national scientific research projects increased from 34 (26.02 million) in 2010 to 72 (51.0851 million) in 2019.The number of provincial talents projects increased from 5 (1.05 million) in 2010 to 26 (6.5 million) in 2019.Conclusions:The " point to point" management mode of scientific research project application plays an important role in promoting the overall funding rate. Enhancement of comprehensive capacity of hospital scientific research can be achieved by further improvement of this management mode, early initiation and arrangement of funding application depending on the " close partner" entity, emphasizing scientific research talents cultivation.
