血清IL-6和胃蛋白酶原Ⅰ/Ⅱ比值对老年胃癌患者预后评估的价值

目的探究老年胃癌患者术前血清白细胞介素6 (IL-6)、胃蛋白酶原(PG)Ⅰ、Ⅱ及PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ比值在患者预后评估中的意义。方法选择2016年1月—2017年1月南通大学附属海安医院收治的101例外科手术治疗的老年胃癌患者为研究对象。收集患者的临床病理资料,检测血清IL-6和PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ水平。以全因死亡为随访终点,使用Kaplan-Meier曲线明确患者预后与各指标间的关系。结果受试者工作特征曲线提示,IL-6、PG-Ⅰ和PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ比值在最佳切割值为10.23pg/mL、30.65μg/L和2.44时,可评估患者的预后,而PG-Ⅱ则无法评估患者的预后。与IL-6≤10.23pg/mL组相比,IL-6> 10.23pg/mL组的肿瘤细胞分化更差、TNM分期Ⅲ期比例明显升高。Kaplan-Meier曲线结果表明,IL-6> 10.23pg/mL组的中位生存期显著短于IL-6≤10.23pg/mL组(28个月vs47个月,P<0.001);PG-Ⅰ≤30.65μg/L组的中位生存期显著短于PG-Ⅰ>30.65μg/L组(34个月vs49个月,P=0.008);PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ≤2.44组的中位生存期显著短于PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ> 2.44组(29个月vs56个月,P=0.02)。多因素Cox回归分析表明,肿瘤分化程度、TNM分期、IL-6及PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ比值是影响患者生存率的独立危险因素。结论术前检测IL-6及PG-Ⅰ/Ⅱ比值有助于评估老年胃癌患者的预后。     

牙支持3D导板辅助穿刺卵圆孔射频热凝治疗三叉神经痛的疗效分析

目的:探讨牙支持式3D打印导板辅助穿刺卵圆孔射频热凝治疗三叉神经痛术中术后的疗效分析.方法:对2019年1月～2021年5月收治的三叉神经痛患者40人,根据患者需要随机分成2组:A组(对照组),常规按照Hartel前入路法穿刺卵圆孔,进入卵圆孔后,耳-床线定位确定入颅深度后行射频治疗.B组(导板组),采用3D导板,给患者戴上导板固定后,完成穿刺,耳-床线定位确定入颅深度后行射频治疗.分析2组的术前疼痛评分(VAS)术后即刻及术后1月疼痛消失的有效率,手术时间,穿刺次数,并发症,穿刺的偏移程度.结果:与对照组A组比较在术后即刻有效率、术后1月随访有效率比较无统计学差异(P>0.05).在穿刺次数、穿刺偏移率、手术时间、并发症两组间比较有统计学差异(P<0.05).导板与牙齿紧密贴合率100％.结论:3D打印导板应用于穿刺卵圆孔具有明显的优势,可以减少患者创伤,减少X线辐射,减少穿刺偏移,术后疗效肯定,值得广泛应用.     

Influences of simulated gastrointestinal environment on physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles and their implications on intestinal epithelial permeability

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) hold great promise in food, industrial and biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, influences of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), a likely route for Au NPs administration, on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs has been rarely evaluated. Here, we investigated the influence of GIT fluids on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs (5, 50, and 100?nm) and their implications on intestinal epithelial permeability in vitro. Au NPs aggregated in fasted gastric fluids and generated hydroxyl radicals in the presence of H₂O₂. Cell studies showed that GIT fluids incubation of Au NPs affected the cellular uptake of Au NPs but did not induce cytotoxicity or disturb the intestinal epithelial permeability.

目的:探讨保留肾脏的输尿管部分切除术治疗原发性输尿管癌的长期疗效。方法:回顾性分析1999年3月~2013年2月行保留肾脏的输尿管部分切除术的31例输尿管癌患者临床资料:12例患者行输尿管膀胱再植术,19例行输尿管端端吻合术。随访14~171个月,观察术后尿路肿瘤复发率、患者总体生存率、肿瘤分期及病理分级方面分层生存率等情况。结果:术后尿路肿瘤复发率为19.35%(6/31);总体5年及10年生存率分别为77.41%、58.64%;低肿瘤分期组5年及10年生存率均为86.67%,高肿瘤分期组5年及10年生存率分别为74.93%和54.29%;低病理分级组5年及10年生存率均为76.00%,高病理分级组5年及10年生存率分别为78.26%和48.83%。结论:在严密随访下,输尿管部分切除术可以有效治疗低分期、低分级输尿管癌。     

Uncertainty evaluation at three spatial scales for the NDVI-based VWC estimation method used in the SMAP algorithm

Vegetation water content (VWC) is the key input parameter for a soil moisture retrieval algorithm based on microwave remote sensing, and VWC uncertainty can limit the estimated accuracy of soil moisture. There has been little research on VWC algorithm development and validation in China, and the uncertainty of the VWC estimation method has not been well evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the uncertainty of the VWC estimation method used in the SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) algorithm on three spatial scales (the point-scale, 30 m scale, and 1 km scale) for maize in northeast China. Results from three ground experimental datasets showed that the SMAP VWC estimation method was strongly biased with an average overestimation of 1.16 kg m^?2,1.04 kg m^?2, and 1.13 kg m^?2 for the point-scale, 30 m scale, and 1 km scale respectively, and maximum bias occurred in the mid-stage of maize. Also, a new power relationship between NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and VWC was proposed for the 30 m scale based on Sentinel 2 NDVI and field VWC values from 2017 experiment, with respective R² (coefficient of determination) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values of 0.80 and 0.67 kg m^?2. The results confirmed that this power relationship was still suitable for VWC estimation at the 1 km scale, and it has smaller bias than the original SMAP VWC method. Future work will be carried out to evaluate the applicability of this VWC estimation method over a lager region. It is expected that it can improve the accuracy of soil moisture by providing high precision VWC input parameters.     

Pseudocystic pilomatricoma: A new variant and review of the literature

A classic pilomatricoma, which usually presents with an asymptomatic, solitary, firm, subcutaneous nodule in the head, neck, or extremities of the paediatric population, is easily diagnosed based on its characteristic clinical and histopathological features. However, its variants often pose particular diagnostic challenges to clinicians due to their rarity and diverse clinicopathological features. We present a new pseudocystic variant, manifesting as solid lesions floating in a fluid‐filled sac.
