目的探讨3D打印模型在儿童先天性脊柱侧凸治疗中的应用疗效。方法回顾性分析2015年12月至2016年12月于首都医科大学附属北京儿童医院接受手术治疗的83例先天性脊柱侧凸患儿临床及影像学资料,根据是否使用3D打印模型分为试验组(n=44)和对照组(n=39),比较两组手术时间、术中透视次数、置钉准确性、矫形效果及并发症情况。结果本研究共纳入83例先天性脊柱侧凸患儿,其中男童47例,女童36例,平均手术年龄5.98 (1.5~13)岁。行半椎体切除术40例,Ponte截骨术31例,经椎弓根截骨术8例,全脊椎切除术4例。随访时间24~35个月。试验组患儿手术时间短于对照组[(180.92±16.74) min (201.51±27.60) min],差异有统计学意义(t=2.798,P<0.05),试验组术中出血量[(340.23±89.52) mL vs.(392.64±100.41) mL]及术中透视次数(4.36±0.89 6.05±1.28)明显少于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);试验组置钉准确率高于对照组(93.55%vs 79.91%)(X^2=218.00,P<0.05),平均置钉时间明显短于对照组[(4.24±1.05) min vs.(8.35±2.29) min],差异有统计学意义(t=10.71,P<0.05)。两组患儿矫形率无明显差异(t=-1.135,P=0.272)。试验组与对照组患儿术后胸膜损伤、硬膜损伤发生率无明显差异(P>0.05)。结论 3D打印模型能清晰、直观显示先天性脊柱侧凸患儿的脊柱结构及形态,为制定手术计划及手术置钉提供帮助,从而提高置钉准确率,减少术中透视次数,缩短手术时间,减少术中出血量。     

Is Atrial Fibrillation a Risk Factor for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Occurrence?

Recent studies have reported an association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether AF is one of the risk factors for GERD occurrence.In this hospital-based, retrospective, case–control study, the patients were classified into 2 groups. The patients diagnosed with new AF were assigned to the AF group (n = 1612); those diagnosed without AF and GERD were assigned to the control group (n = 1612). The subjects in the control group were selected from outpatients of total healthcare center without a history of AF or GERD, and matched for age and gender. We evaluated the incidence of GERD and risk factors for GERD occurrence between the 2 groups.The number of patients experiencing occurrence of GERD during the follow-up period was significantly higher in the AF group than those in the control group, respectively (129 patients vs 98 subjects, P = 0.037). The incidence of GERD was significantly higher in the AF group than in the control group by Kaplan–Meier analysis with log-rank test (P = 0.008). The AF group''s adjusted hazard ratio of GERD occurrence against that of the control group was 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16–1.57; P = 0.009) according to Cox''s proportional hazard model.The presence of AF appears to increase the incidence of GERD and may be considered a risk factor for the development of GERD. Further, large prospective and cohort studies will be required to better establish the correlation of GERD with AF.     

Intravenous Thrombolysis Is Safe and Effective for the Cryptogenic Stroke in China: Data From the Thrombolysis Implementation and Monitor of Acute Ischemic Stroke in China (TIMS-China)

Background

The intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy is safe and efficient during the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Nonetheless, the different outcomes among various stroke subgroups have limited data with regard to the safety and efficacy of cryptogenic stroke (CS). The present study compared the safety and efficacy when IVT with rt-PA was used for the treatment of CS and the other stroke subtypes.

局部晚期食管鳞癌新辅助放疗剂量与病理完全缓解关系分析

目的 探讨接受新辅助放化疗的局部晚期食管鳞癌患者新辅助放疗剂量与病理完全缓解(pCR)的关系。方法 收集2017-2019年间在四川大学华西医院肿瘤中心经病理确诊为食管鳞癌并接受新辅助放化疗和手术的 116例局部晚期患者临床资料。116例患者中 40~45Gy组 80例,≥45Gy组 36例,分析两组术后pCR率。结果 全组患者的pCR率为38.8%(45/116),40~45Gy组与≥45Gy组的pCR率分别为44%(35/80)和28%(10/36)(P=0.105)。结论 术前新辅助采用较高的放疗剂量不增加局部晚期食管鳞癌的pCR率,有必要进行前瞻性的临床研究确定合适的新辅助放疗剂量。     

生殖专科机构预防新型冠状病毒肺炎感染的措施

PI3K抑制剂ZSTK-474对结直肠癌细胞增殖和侵袭的影响

目的:探讨PI3K抑制剂ZSTK-474对结直肠癌细胞增殖和侵袭的影响。方法:采用不同浓度（0、1、2、4、6、8和10 μmol/L）ZSTK-474处理结直肠癌HT-29和HCT-116细胞24 h和48 h，CCK8法检测细胞增殖活性并计算出ZSTK-474在两株结直肠癌细胞中的半数抑制浓度（IC50）。根据IC50的值选用浓度为4 μmol/L的ZSTK-474作用HT-29和HCT-116细胞24 h，同时设置加入等量的0.1%DMSO为对照。采用平板克隆形成实验检测细胞增殖，流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡，qRT-PCR检测细胞PI3K、Akt的mRNA水平，Western blot 检测细胞PI3K、Akt的蛋白水平。结果:ZSTK-474可明显抑制HT-29和HCT-116细胞的增殖，且呈时间和剂量依赖性。ZSTK-474可抑制HT-29和HCT-116细胞的侵袭能力，但不影响其凋亡。ZSTK-474处理HT-29和HCT-116细胞24 h后，PI3K和Akt的mRNA和蛋白表达水平均显著下降。结论:ZSTK-474能够抑制结直肠癌细胞增殖，并且能抑制其侵袭。     

Steep Decrease of Gender Difference in DSM-IV Alcohol Use Disorder: A Comparison of Two Nation-wide Surveys Conducted 10 Years Apart in Korea

While decreasing trend in gender differences in alcohol use disorders was reported in Western countries, the change in Asian countries is unknown. This study aims to explore the shifts in gender difference in alcohol abuse (AA) and dependence (AD) in Korea. We compared the data from two nation-wide community surveys to evaluate gender differences in lifetime AA and AD by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). Face-to-face interviews using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) were applied to all subjects in 2001 (n=6,220) and 2011 (n=6,022). Male-to-female ratio of odds was decreased from 6.41 (95% CI, 4.81-8.54) to 4.37 (95% CI, 3.35-5.71) for AA and from 3.75 (95% CI, 2.96-4.75) to 2.40 (95% CI, 1.80-3.19) for AD. Among those aged 18-29, gender gap even became statistically insignificant for AA (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 0.97-2.63) and AD (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.80-2.41) in 2011. Men generally showed decreased odds for AD (0.55; 95% CI, 0.45-0.67) and women aged 30-39 showed increased odds for AA (2.13; 95% CI 1.18-3.84) in 2011 compared to 2001. Decreased AD in men and increased AA in women seem to contribute to the decrease of gender gap. Increased risk for AA in young women suggests needs for interventions.
