The medical records, pathology reports, and demographic characteristics and pathological characteristics were collected. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of TPO and Tg in PTC tissues, which were divided into positive and negative groups. Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.Results:The negative rate of TPO was 95.45% (105 cases). Univariate analysis showed that the tumor diameter ( t=5.746), lymph node metastasis, and the proportion of PT1 patients were significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05), the TPO negative group was significantly higher than the positive group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that tumor diameter, lymph node metastasis, and proportion of PT1 patients were independent factors (95% CI=2.367-5.365, 1.101-2.738, 1.103-2.589, P<0.05). The positive rate of Tg was 77.41% (89 cases). Univariate analysis showed the proportion of people with BMI ≥ 25 ( χ2=11.180), tumor diameter ( t=2.117), and intracapsular invasion ( χ2=8.354), extrathyroidal invasion, lymph node metastasis ( χ2=27.740), and proportion of PT1 patients were significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis found BMI≥25, intracapsular invasion, extrathyroidal invasion, lymph node metastasis, proportion of PT1 patients were independent factors affecting Tg in patients with PTC (95% CI=3.845-11.735, 1.485-2.983,1.171-2.762,4.083-16.526,1.003-2.174, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the expression of TPO and Tg in PTC ( r=-0.498, P<0.001) . Conclusion:TPO and Tg are highly correlated with tumor lymphatic metastasis, pathological grade, tumor diameter and tumor invasion range in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, and the expression of the two is negatively correlated, which can be used as effective indicators for evaluating the prognosis of patients.

During the follow-up period, implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation was performed in 1 patient because of high atrioventricular block 4 years after diagnosis, and there was no death or hospitalization for cardiovascular events in the other patients. Conclusion: The main clinical manifestations of Danon disease are cardiomyopathy, myopathy and mental retardation. Pre-excitation syndrome is a common electrocardiographic manifestation. Autophagy vacuoles can be seen in skeletal muscle and myocardial pathological biopsies. LAMP-2 gene mutation analysis is helpful in the diagnose of this disease.

Quality of moxa from Artemisia argyi and A. stolonifera in different storage years based on simultaneous thermal analysis / 中国中药杂志

The quality of moxa is an important factor affecting moxibustion therapy, and traditionally, 3-year moxa is considered optimal, although scientific data are lacking. This study focused on 1-year and 3-year moxa from Artemisia stolonifera and A. argyi(leaf-to-moxa ratio of 10∶1) as research objects. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Van Soest method, and simultaneous thermal analysis were used to investigate the differences in the combustion heat quality of 1-year and 3-year moxa and their influencing factors. The results showed that the combustion of A. stolonifera moxa exhibited a balanced heat release pattern. The 3-year moxa released a concentrated heat of 9 998.84 mJ·mg~(-1)(accounting for 54% of the total heat release) in the temperature range of 140-302 ℃, with a heat production efficiency of 122 mW·mg~(-1). It further released 7 512.51 mJ·mg~(-1)(accounting for 41% of the total heat release) in the temperature range of 302-519 ℃. The combustion of A. argyi moxa showed a rapid heat release pattern. The 3-year moxa released a heat of 16 695.28 mJ·mg~(-1)(accounting for 70% of the total heat release) in the temperature range of 140-311 ℃, with an instantaneous power output of 218 mW·mg~(-1). It further released 5 996.95 mJ·mg~(-1)(accounting for 25% of the total heat release) in the temperature range of 311-483 ℃. Combustion parameters such as-R_p,-R_v, D_i, C, and D_b indicated that the combustion heat quality of 3-year moxa was superior to that of 1-year moxa. It exhibited greater combustion heat, heat production efficiency, flammability, mild and sustained burning, and higher instantaneous combustion efficiency. This study utilized scientific data to demonstrate that A. stolonifera could be used as excellent moxa, and the quality of 3-year moxa surpassed that of 1-year moxa.

Radiomics features on ultrasound imaging for the prediction of disease-free survival in triple negative breast cancer: A multi-institutional study / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of radiomics model based on preoperative ultrasound in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) from multicenter data.Methods:A total of 418 patients with TNBC between July 2012 and December 2016 were consecutively recruited for this study from three different institutions including the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine and General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command. In the training cohort ( n=271) from institution 1(the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression algorithm was employed to select recurrence-related radiomics features and build a signature derived from the grayscale US images. The relationship between the radiomics score (Rad-score) and DFS was evaluated. Univariate and multivariate cox regression were utilized to identify the significant radiomics features and clinical-pathologic variables, which were integrated into a radiomics nomogram. An independent external cohort ( n=147) from the other two institutions was validated for evaluating the calibration and discrimination of the predictive nomogram. Results:Higher Rad-score was an independent risk predictor of worse DFS in two cohorts (both P<0.05). The radiomics model, comprising axillary lymph node status, Ki-67 index and radiomics signature, showed better prognostic performance ( P<0.01) than those of the clinical-pathologic model or tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging system with the concordance index (C-index) of 0.75 (95% CI=0.72-0.78) and 0.73(95% CI=0.71-0.75) in the training and validation cohorts respectively. Furthermore, the calibration curves achieved satisfactory agreement and the decision curves further confirmed the clinical utility of the radiomics nomogram. Conclusions:The US-based radiomics signature is a powerful predictor for the assessment of DFS in patients with TNBC. Moreover, the proposed radiomics model integrating the optimal radiomics signature and clinical-pathologic data could improve personalized DFS estimation.

Change laws of water absorption in Chinese herbal pieces and prediction model of relative density for Chinese medicine decoction / 中国中药杂志

This study aims to explore the change laws of water absorption in Chinese herbal pieces and establish the prediction model of relative density for Chinese medicine compound decoction. Firstly, fitted equations of water absorption and decocting time was established by observing the change laws of water absorption in 36 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces in 12 groups(according to the drug-parts) with decocting time. The r value of the mineral group and other type group was 0.691 2 and 0.663 3, respectively. The r value of the remaining 10 groups was 0.802 2-0.925 4. All P values were less than 0.05(n=21). The formula of the amount of water added was optimized by combining the fitted equations with determined water absorption, and the liquid yield could be controlled in a range of 100%±10%. Secondly, it was determined that the liquid density tester could be used for the rapid determination of relative density of Chinese medicine decoction after methodological study and comparison with the pycnometer method. The linear regression equation between the corrected relative density(y) and extraction ratio(%, x) was built by measuring and analyzing the related parameters such as liquid yield, relative density and extraction ratio in 46 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces. The established equation was y=0.041 3x+1.003 7, r=0.930 9(P <0.01, n=46), with linear range of 1.94%-65.75%. Based on this, the prototype model for predicting relative density of Chinese medicine decoction was established, and the relative densities of 8 Chinese medicine decoctions were within the prediction interval of this model in verification. This study lays a foundation for database construction of Chinese medicine decoction, implementation of personalized decocting mode and rapid quality control of Chinese medicine decoction.

Objective To explore the differences in clinical symptoms and laboratory examination indexes between patients with HIV/AIDS infection complicated with tuberculosis (TB) and those with HIV/AIDS alone, so as to provide a reference for early identification and diagnosis of HIV/AIDS infection with TB. Methods A total of 206 patients with HIV/AIDS infection and TB who were admitted to Suining Central Hospital from January 2015 to April 2019 were selected as the study group. 86 patients with pure HIV/AIDS were selected as the disease control group. Data of clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as follow-up of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical symptoms, laboratory examination indexes and clinical treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence rates of fever, emaciation, electrolyte imbalance, hypoproteinemia, cough and chest pain in the study group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group (P0.05). The positive rates of sputum smear acid fast stain, sputum mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and PPD test in the study group were significantly higher than those in the disease control group, while the CD3+ count, CD4+ count and CD4+/CD8+ were obviously lower than the disease control group (P0.05). The ROC curve suggested that the areas under the curve of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/ CD8+ and the three combined indicators to evaluate HIV/AIDS infection combined with TB were 0.799, 0.841, 0.913, and 0.935, respectively. The hospitalization time in the study group was significantly longer than that in the disease control group. The proportion of discharged patients (improved) in the study group was significantly lower than that in the disease control group, while the proportion of discharged patients (not improved) was significantly higher than that in the disease control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Although the clinical symptoms of patients with HIV/AIDS infection combined with TB are similar to those of patients with HIV/AIDS alone, the main symptoms of the former are fever, emaciation and electrolyte imbalance. The detection of laboratory immune function indexes is of positive significance for improvement of the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of HIV/AIDS infection with TB.

Objective To study the effect of endurance training on energy metabolism in young men in rest state.Methods Fifty males from Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2017 to December 2017 were randomly assigned to endurance training group(n =25) and sedentary group(n =25) by random number table method.Endurance training group tided power bike with intensity of 75％ maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max),50 minutes each time,once a day for 12 weeks.The sedentary group maintained the daily life of the state can be guaranteed to exercise less than 60 minutes per week for 12 weeks.The basal metabolic rate(BMR),respiration quotient(RQ),body mass index(BMI),lean body mass(LBM) and body fat percentage(BF％) were measured before and after training in both two groups.Results Before training,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(all P ＞ 0.05).After training,the BMR,RQ,BMI and LBM in the endurance training group were (5 720.0 ± 711.3) k J/d,(0.780 ± 0.043),(23.33 ± 3.30) kg/m2,(55.58 ± 4.21) kg,respectively,which were significantly improved compared with before training [(4 828.0 ± 712.6) kJ/d,(0.820 ± 0.033),(27.69 ± 3.28)kg/m2,(51.37 ±3.76)kg,t =7.434,-2.182,-2.578,2.035,all P ＜0.05],BF％ [(14.76 ±5.90)％ vs.(23.60 ± 5.37) ％] decreased more significantly (t =-10.492,P ＜ 0.01).After training,the BMR [(5 720.0 ± 711.3) kJ/d vs.(4 896.0 ± 715.6) kJ/d] and LBM [(55.58 ± 4.21) kg vs.(51.25 ± 3.45) kg] of the endurance training group were significantly higher than those of the sedentary exercise group(t =6.789,2.103,all P ＜ 0.05).RQ [(0.780 ± 0.043) vs.(0.820 ± 0.030)] and BMI [(23.33 ± 3.30) kg/m2 vs.(27.73 ± 3.58) kg/m2] of the endurance training group were significantly decreased (t =-2.179,-2.232,all P ＜ 0.05),BF％ [(14.76 ± 5.90) ％ vs.(23.62 ± 5.42) ％] decreased more significantly in the endurance training group (t =-10.462,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Endurance training can significantly improve the energy metabolism of young men and consume more fat in rest state.
