BACKGROUND: Lymph node metastases are significant prognostic factors in localized non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nodal micrometastases may not be detected using current histological methods. AIM: To determine the accuracy and role of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with NSCLC. METHODS: Intraoperative technetium-99m (Tc) sulphur colloid SLN mapping was performed in patients with NSCLC. Serial section histology and immunohistochemistry were used to validate the SLNs and to identify the presence of micrometastatic disease. The study was carried out on 28 consecutive patients (male/female, 25/3; mean age, 57.05+/-7.1 years) with resectable NSCLC. During thoracotomy, 0.25 mCi of Tc sulphur colloid was injected into four quadrants peritumorally. Radioactivity was counted intraoperatively, a mean of 45 min (range, 30-60 min) after injection. SLN was defined as the node with the highest count rate using a hand-held gamma probe counter. Resection with mediastinal node dissection was performed and the findings were correlated with histological examination. RESULTS: SLNs were identified in 26 of 28 patients (92.8%) with a total number of 32 SLNs. Seven of 32 (21.8%) of these SLNs were positive for metastatic involvement after histological and immunohistochemical examination. In two patients (7.1%), SLNs could not be found. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the feasibility of this procedure in identifying the first site of potential nodal metastasis of NSCLC. This method may improve the precision of pathological staging. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the frequently encountered micro-organisms in the aerodigestive tract. Although infections caused by H. pylori are this common, the exact mode of transmission has not been fully understood yet. Oral-oral, fecal-oral and gastrointestinal-oral routes are the possible modes of transmission. This infection is usually acquired in childhood and may persist for the whole life of the patient. However, about 80% of the infected humans are asymptomatic. Human stomach was considered to be the only reservoir of H. pylori until bacteria were discovered in human dental plaque, in oral lesions, in saliva, in tonsil and adenoid tissue. It is suggested that H. pylori enters the nasopharyngeal cavity by gastroesophageal reflux and colonize in the dental plaques, adenoid tissues and tonsils. From these localizations, the bacteria ascend to the middle ear and to the paranasal sinuses directly or by the reflux again and may trigger some diseases, including otitis, sinusitis, phyrangitis, laryngitis and glossitis. But still, the exact mechanism remains unclear. 相似文献

The maintenance of vaginal microbiota is an important factor to achieve optimum pregnancy outcomes. The study aims to describe the alterations in the composition of vaginal microbiota in pregnant women with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This was a prospective case-control study. Vaginal swabs were collected from uninfected pregnant women (n = 28) and pregnant women with COVID-19 (n = 19) during the active phase of infection and within a month after recovering from infection. The vaginal microbiota on the swabs was examined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Shannon index indicates that alpha diversity is significantly higher in women with COVID-19 (p = 0.012). There was a significant decrease in Firmicutes (p = 0.014) with an increase in Bacteroidota (p = 0.018) phyla and a decrease in Lactobacillus (p = 0.007) genus in women with COVID-19 than those of uninfected pregnant women. The relative abundance of L. crispatus, L. iners, L. gasseri, and L. jensenii were lower in the COVID-19 group than in uninfected pregnant women. In subgroup analysis, the amount of Ureaplasma spp. was higher in women with moderate/severe than those of asymptomatic/mild disease (p = 0.036). The study revealed that vaginal dysbiosis with low abundance of Lactobacillus species occurred in pregnant women infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. These findings may lead to new studies to elucidate the risk of pregnancy adverse outcomes related to COVID-19. 相似文献
