Abstract
Objective: To investigate the causes and impacts of unplanned reoperations (UO) in patients underwent colorectal cancer surgery, and its effect on the length of hospital stays and hospitalization fees of these patients. Methods: we retrospectively analyzed the data of colorectal tumor patients underwent resection and UO from January 2014 to November 2017 in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS). Student t tests, ANOVA analysis and chi-square test were used to compare the paired data and data of multiple groups, respectively. Results: There were 5 923 cases who underwent colorectal cancer surgery from 2014 to 2017. Among them, 75 cases further accepted UO, the incidence rate of UO was 1.27%. Among the 75 patients of UO, 60 were male and 15 were female, 21 patients underwent colonic operation and 54 patients underwent rectal operation. The average length of hospital stays were 25.8 days and the average hospitalization fees were 110 647.04 yuan. The gender construction, surgical site, average length of hospital stays and hospitalization fees of UO were significantly different from those of operative colorectal tumor patients during this period (all P<0.01). There were 40 patients underwent anastomotic fistula, 11 patients underwent stoma complications and 10 patients underwent bowel obstruction, respectively, which accounts for the three most common causes of UO after colorectal cancer surgery, and the total incidence was 81.3%. The interval of reoperation and the first operation significantly impacted the average length of hospital stays of UO patients (P=0.003), while marginally affected the hospitalization fees (P=0.847). Conclusions: UO are more possible to occur to the male patients who undergo rectal operation. The length of hospital stays and hospitalization fees of UO are significantly increased when compare to those of operative colorectal cancer patients. The time of reoperation significantly impacts the length of hospital stays but has little effect on the hospitalization fees of UO patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tinea unguium is a dermatophyte infection of the nails. Itraconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal drug used to treat this disease. It works by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol in the cell membrane, thus causing changes that can be seen under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). AIM To observe under SEM the in vivo ultrastructural changes of tinea unguium caused by Trichophyton rubrum before and after itraconazole (ICZ) therapy, and to explore the in vivo antifungal effect of ICZ. METHODS Ten outpatients diagnosed by mycology and SEM as having with tinea unguium caused by T. rubrum were recruited. They received ICZ pulse therapy (200 mg twice/day for 1 week, stop for 3 weeks, repeated for 3-4 months). Clinical change, mycology and SEM results were obtained after therapy. RESULTS After ICZ therapy, 3 of the 10 cases were positive by both mycology and SEM; the latter showed completely dry, shrivelled, curved and folded hyphae with a relatively smooth surface or local destruction. Several hyphae remained intact with only some local bumps or crimps. The other cases were negative by SEM, but two were positive by mycology. CONCLUSION In vivo ultrastructural changes of hyphae of T. rubrum in tinea unguium after ICZ treatment could be seen under SEM, demonstrating that ICZ fungistasis was effective and that SEM is a good tool for evaluating the effectiveness of ICZ in vivo. To our knowledge, this study is the first to show by SEM ICZ permeates the affected nail plate via the nail bed capillaries.

Abstract
Objectives The incidence of acute Achilles tendon rupture appears to be increasing. The aim of this study was to summarize various therapies for acute Achilles tendon rupture and discuss their relative merits. Methods A PubMed search about the management of acute Achilles tendon rupture was performed. The search was open for original manuscripts and review papers limited to publication from January 2006 to July 2017. A total of 489 papers were identified initially and finally 323 articles were suitable for this review. Results The treatments of acute Achilles tendon rupture include operative and nonoperative treatments. Operative treatments mainly consist of open repair, percutaneous repair, mini-open repair, and augmentative repair. Traditional open repair has lower re-rupture rates with higher risks of complications. Percutaneous repair and mini-open repair show similar re-rupture rates but lower overall complication rates when compared with open repair. Percutaneous repair requires vigilance against nerve damage. Functional rehabilitation combining protected weight-bearing and early controlled motion can effectively reduce re-rupture rates with satisfactory outcomes. Biological adjuncts help accelerating tendon healing by adhering rupture ends or releasing highly complex pools of signalling factors. Conclusion The optimum treatment for complete rupture remains controversial. Both mini-open repair and functional protocols are attractive alternatives, while biotherapy is a potential future development. Cite this article: X. Yang, H. Meng, Q. Quan, J. Peng, S. Lu, A. Wang.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Providers are often unaware of poor adherence to prescribed medications for their patients with chronic diseases. OBJECTIVE To develop brief, computer-administered patient-reported measures in English and Spanish assessing adherence behaviors and barriers. Design, Participants, and Main Measures: Item pools were constructed from existing measures of medication adherence behaviors and barriers, which informed development of a patient concept elicitation interview guide to identify medication adherence behavior and barrier-related concepts. Two hundred six patients either living with HIV (PLWH) or without were interviewed. Interviews were coded, concepts matched to item pool content, and new items were developed for novel concepts. A provider/investigator team highlighted clinically relevant items. Cognitive interviews were conducted with patients on final candidate items (n = 37). The instruments were administered to 2081 PLWH. KEY RESULTS Behavioral themes from concept elicitation interviews included routines incorporating time of day, placement, visual cues, and intentionality to miss or skip doses. Barrier themes included health-related (e.g. depressed mood, feeling ill), attitudes/beliefs (e.g., need for medication), access (e.g., cost/insurance problems), and circumstantial barriers (e.g., lack of privacy, disruption of daily routine). The final instruments included 6 behavior items, and 1 barrier item with up to 23 response options. PLWH endorsed a mean (SD) of 3.5 (1.1) behaviors. The 201 PLWH who missed ≥2 doses in the previous week endorsed a mean (SD) of 3.1 (2.5) barriers. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the numbers of behaviors endorsed in 61 PLWH after 4-16 days was 0.54 and for the number of barriers for the 20 PLWH with ≥2 missed doses the ICC was 0.89, representing fair and excellent test-retest reliability. CONCLUSION Measures of medication adherence behaviors and barriers were developed for use with patients living with chronic diseases focusing on clinical relevance, brevity, and content validity for use in clinical care.

Abstract
Timidity in dogs is a trait with high heritability. However, the relevant genetic factors and markers associated with this condition are largely unknown. The function of the catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) gene has been found to be associated with human fearful or anxious emotions, and the COMT:p.Val158Met polymorphism locus is significantly related to anxious behavior. In the present study, the correlation between timidity and four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variations (C.-1666C>G c.39A>G, c.216G>A, c.482G>A) of the COMT gene was investigated in dogs. The evaluation was based on the dog courage assessment assay and a genotype and haplotype analysis in Labrador Retrievers (LR) and Golden Retrievers (GR). The principal components analysis factor structure of the courage phenotype was invariant between LR and GR. Sex, breed and age had no statistically significant effect on the timidity of the dogs. All SNP loci detected were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The c.39A>G locus was removed in the subsequent association analysis due to the significant difference between LR and GR in genotype distributions. Intriguingly, the genotypes and haplotypes of the COMT gene were significantly and highly correlated with the timidity of LR and GR. The A alleles of the COMT:c.216G>A and c.482G>A loci appeared to play a dominant role in the timid behavior of the dogs. This result supports and broadens the warrior/worrier hypothesis and will have important implications for the understanding of the evolution of temperament in dogs. Additionally, the results provide predictive genetic markers for temperament in dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KPN) is a major concern, but data on CR-KPN infection/colonization in paediatric populations are limited. AIM To analyse epidemiologic and clinical characteristics, and therapeutic options for CR-KPN infections in neonates in China. METHODS A retrospective study was performed at the Children's Hospital of Fudan University, including 88 neonates with CR-KPN admitted between November 2015 and October 2016. Forty-seven CR-KPN isolates were chosen at random for further study, including antimicrobial susceptibility testing, potential β-lactamase screening and homology analysis. FINDINGS In total, 44.3% (39/88) of the neonates with CR-KPN were infected, and 71.8% (28/39) were nosocomial infections. Of these, pneumonia and urinary tract infection accounted for 50.0% (14/28) and 42.9% (12/28), respectively. All infected patients were cured or improved with fosfomycin and/or carbapenem-containing combination therapy, except one case in whom treatment was withdrawn. All 47 cases of CR-KPN were resistant to ertapenem and 95.7% were resistant to imipenem/meropenem. Overall, 87.2% (41/47) were positive for blaNDM-1, and belonged to 11 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis types; 53.7% (22/41) were designated as ST278 and 17.1% (7/41) were designated as ST2735 by multi-locus sequence typing. CONCLUSIONS Most of the CR-KPN isolated from neonates produced New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 and were highly homologous. Fosfomycin-containing regimens and meropenem-/panipenem-containing combination therapy were efficient for CR-KPN infection in neonates.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the pathological features and define the optimal surgical margins (SM) of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for kidney neoplasms 4–7 cm (stage pT1b) on preoperative imaging. Materials and methods The retrospective study included 748 patients who were diagnosed stage pT1b renal tumors and underwent either radical nephrectomy (RN, n = 475) or NSS (n = 273) from January 2004 to March 2017. The tumor size, pathological subtype, Fuhrman grade, status of peritumoral pseudocapsule (PC) and tumor multifocality were recorded. The relationship between peritumoral PC and positive SM was calculated statistically by Fisher’s exact probability test. Results The mean tumor diameter was 5.4 cm (range: 4.1–7.0 cm), 65 (8.7%) cases were discovered with multifocal lesions and 686 (91.7%) were surrounded with peritumoral PC in all 748 specimens. 57 (8.3%) of 686 cases were proved with tumor infiltrated beyond PC [infiltration (+)], and the presence of PC infiltration (+) was significantly correlated with positive SM (p = 0.016). The infiltrative depth of tumor cells into renal parenchyma beyond PC was all limited in 3 mm and the proportion of ≤ 1, 1–2 and 2–3 mm was 21.1% (12/57), 59.6% (34/57) and 19.3% (11/57), respectively. Conclusions Our report indicates a 3 mm excisional margin is acceptable to ensure negative SM when operating NSS on stage pT1b kidney neoplasms.

Abstract
Infection with parasitic helminths can ameliorate the severity of concomitant inflammatory disease. To use the tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, and to extend this concept by assessing whether triggering a memory response against the worm inhibits dinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (DNBS)-induced colitis in Balb/c mice. Initial studies revealed that oral infection with 1, 3 or 5 H. diminuta cysticercoids 8 days before intrarectal administration of DNBS (3 mg) resulted in less severe inflammation and that infected mice displayed an increased propensity for T helper-2 immunity. A 1 mg dose of a PBS-soluble extract of the worm (HdAg) delivered intraperitoneally concomitant with DNBS was anticolitic as determined by macroscopic and histological disease scores 72 hour post-DNBS. Mice infected 28 days previously had a memory response as determined by HdAg-evoked increases in interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 from in vitro stimulated splenocytes and serum anti-H. diminuta IgG. Moreover, mice infected with 5 H. diminuta 28 days previously were protected from DNBS-induced colitis by secondary infection or 100 μg HdAg (ip.) at the time of DNBS treatment. An additional approach to managing inflammatory disease could be infection with H. diminuta followed by eliciting antiworm recall responses.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Trabecular bone score (TBS) assesses bone quality in the lumbar spine using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, denosumab significantly improved TBS independently of bone mineral density (BMD). This practical technique may have a role in managing patients with osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION TBS, a gray-level texture index determined from lumbar spine DXA scans, correlates with bone microarchitecture and enhances assessment of vertebral fracture risk independently of BMD. In the FREEDOM study, denosumab increased BMD and reduced new vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. This retrospective analysis explored the effect of denosumab on TBS and the association between TBS and BMD in FREEDOM. METHODS Postmenopausal women with lumbar spine or total hip BMD T-score <-2.5 and -4.0 or higher at both sites received placebo or denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously every 6 months. TBS indices were determined from DXA scans at baseline and months 12, 24, and 36 in a subset of 285 women (128 placebo, 157 denosumab) who had TBS values at baseline and ≥1 postbaseline visit. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were comparable between treatment groups; mean (SD) lumbar spine BMD T-score was -2.79 (0.64), and mean (standard deviation [SD]) TBS was 1.200 (0.101) overall. In the placebo group, BMD and TBS increased by ≤0.2% or decreased from baseline at each visit. In the denosumab group, progressive increases from baseline at 12, 24, and 36 months were observed for BMD (5.7, 7.8, and 9.8%) and TBS (1.4, 1.9, and 2.4%). Percentage changes in TBS were statistically significant compared with baseline (p < 0.001) and placebo (p ≤ 0.014). TBS was largely unrelated to BMD, regardless of treatment, either at baseline or for annual changes from baseline (all r 2 ≤ 0.06). CONCLUSIONS In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, denosumab significantly improved TBS independently of BMD.
