粪便SEPT-9和miRNA-34b/c基因甲基化检测在大肠肿瘤筛查中的临床应用

目的 评估检测大肠肿瘤患者粪便中SEPT-9和微RNA（miRNA）-34b/c基因甲基化对大肠肿瘤筛查的临床性能。方法 采用病例对照研究方法,使用甲基化敏感性高分辨率熔解曲线法检测大肠肿瘤患者（大肠癌组35例、大肠腺瘤组47例）和正常对照人群（正常对照组52名）粪便中SEPT-9和miRNA-34b/c基因是否存在甲基化,来评估其筛查大肠肿瘤的性能。结果 大肠癌组SEPT-9和miRNA-34b/c基因的甲基化阳性率分别为68.6%、71.4%,大肠腺瘤组分别为57.4%、63.8%,正常对照组分别为9.6%、11.5%。3组的SEPT-9、miRNA-34b/c基因甲基化阳性率比较差异均有统计学意义（²_SEPT-9 = 37.185,²_miRNA-34b/c = 40.040,P均< 0.001）,利用Bonferroni法进行两两比较,大肠癌组和大肠腺瘤组的甲基化阳性率比较差异无统计学意义,两者与正常对照组比较差异均有统计学意义（P均< 0.001）。3组联合检测SEPT-9和miRNA-34b/c基因的甲基化阳性率为88.6%、76.6%、13.5%,大肠癌组和大肠腺瘤组联合检测的甲基化阳性率均高于SEPT-9单基因检测和miRNA-34b/c单基因检测（P均< 0.05）。结论 检测粪便中SEPT-9和miRNA-34b/c基因甲基化具有效好的大肠肿瘤筛查性能,或许可作为大规模人群筛查大肠肿瘤新的生物标志物组合;多基因甲基化联合检测筛查的性能优于单基因。     

逆行髓内钉辅助在儿童股骨延长中的应用

目的采用髓内钉辅助延长技术进行儿童股骨大段延长,评估其可行性,并对比同期矫正和分期手术的技术要点,明确此技术在儿童患儿中的应用价值。方法自2014年7月7日至2018年1月16日共规划完成逆行髓内钉辅助延长手术10例,其中男9例,女1例;年龄(13.10±2.18)岁。所有患儿延长截骨点均位于股骨远端干骺端,初诊至末次随访记录内容包括:性别、出生日期、不等长病因及治疗史、术时年龄、延长长度、带架时间、延长段愈合时间、屈膝角度、并发症等。比较同期延长和分期矫正的愈合时间,采用SPSS 22.0软件进行统计分析,提出合理的治疗策略。结果10例患儿患肢平均延长(7.07±1.01)cm,中位带架时间为8.5(4,16)个月,中位随访时间为39(34,54)个月。所有病例均获得了良好的临床和影像学愈合,并全部恢复正常行走功能,无延长后骨折发生。同期矫正与分期手术间在愈合速度为[(1.70±1.10)月/cm vs.(1.16±0.54)月/cm],膝关节功能(136.67°±20.82°vs.125.71°±26.37°)和并发症率方面的差异均无统计学意义。结论外固定架辅助逆行髓内钉技术进行股骨延长治疗儿童股骨短缩畸形是可行的,是股骨延长的有效手术方式之一;较轻的角度畸形和延长手术可同期进行;干骺端截骨延长成骨质量更佳,可有效减少带架时间;内生软骨瘤患儿的病变区延长是安全的。

子宫内膜功能亢进性疾病的“异病同治”诊治研究思路＊

笔者根据现代临床子宫内膜的病理演变过程结合中医“异病同治”理念，提出“子宫内膜功能亢进性疾病”概念，涵盖5种常见的子宫内膜疾病：无排卵性异常子宫出血（Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Ovulatory dysfunction，AUB-O），子宫内膜息肉（Endometrial Polyp，EP），子宫内膜异位症（Endometriosis，EMs），子宫腺肌病（Adenomyosis，AM），子宫内膜癌（Endometrial Carcinoma，EC）。基于文献的汇总，分析得到此类疾病的子宫内膜病理演变与中医病因病机的关联性，为寻找关键通路、创新性治疗此类疾病提供了重要的参考方向，对深化中医妇科学常见疾病的共性病因病机提供了理论依据和探索思路。     

Optimize the management of urological tube-related emergencies during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic

BackgroundTo introduce and determine the value of optimized strategies for the management of urological tube-related emergencies with increased incidence, complexity and operational risk during the global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsAll emergent urological patients at Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, during the period of January 23 (the beginning of lockdown in Wuhan) to March 23, 2020, and the corresponding period in 2019 were recruited to form this study’s COVID-19 group and control group, respectively. Tongji Hospital has the most concentrated and strongest Chinese medical teams to treat the largest number of severe COVID-19 patients. Patients in the control group were routinely treated, while patients in the COVID-19 group were managed following the optimized principles and strategies. The case incidence for each type of tube-related emergency was recorded. Baseline characteristics and management outcomes (surgery time, secondary complex operation rate, readmission rate, COVID-19 infection rate) were analyzed and compared across the control and COVID-19 periods.ResultsThe total emergent urological patients during the COVID-19 period was 42, whereas during the control period, it was 124. The incidence of tube-related emergencies increased from 53% to 88% (P<0.001) during the COVID-19 period. In particular, the incidence of nephrostomy tube-related (31% vs. 15%, P=0.027) and single-J stent-related problems (19% vs. 6%, P=0.009) increased significantly. The mean surgery times across the two periods were comparable. The number of secondary complex operations increased from 12 (18%) to 14 (38%) (P=0.028) during the COVID 19-period. The number of 2-week postoperative readmission decreased from 10 (15%) to 1 (3%) (P=0.049). No participants contracted during the COVID-19 period.ConclusionsUrological tube-related emergencies have been found to have a higher incidence and require more complicated and dangerous operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the optimized management strategies introduced in this study are efficient, and safe for both urologists and patients.
