Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of single-stage repair of penile urethral stricture using combined dorsal onlay oral mucosa grafting with ventral onlay penile skin flap. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical database of 22 male patients with penile urethral stricture who received single-stage repair using combined dorsal onlay oral mucosa grafting with ventral onlay penile skin flap from November 2015 to October 2018. All the cases had no complications, such as skin fistula. The causes of stricture included iatrogenic (14/22, 63.6%), inflammation (2/22, 9.1%) and idiopathic (6/22, 27.3%). A ventral urethrotomy was made in the segment of stricture and extended proximally and distally until the normal calibre urethra was encountered. The oral mucosa graft was secured to the corpus spongiosum in dorsal onlay fashion or underlying corpora cavernosum after resection of the severe scarred urethra. Then the prepared Orandi fasciocutaneous penile skin flap was secured to edges of corpus spongiosum or oral mucosa graft. A 16 F or 14 F Foley catheter was left in situ for a minimum of 3 weeks, at which time a urethrogram was performed to look for extravasation, and the urethroscopy was performed if necessary. Success was defined as an open urethra with Qmax≥15 mL/s and no need for further surgical intervention. RESULTS all the 22 patients with a mean age of 52.6 (18-73) years underwent the combined tissue-transfer technique. The mean length of the penile urethral stricture was 5.3 (2.5-10.0) cm and the mean preoperative Qmax was 6.7 mL/s. the mean length of oral mucosa grafts and fasciocutaneous skin flaps were 5.5 (3.2-10.5) cm and 6.0 (3.5-11.0) cm, respectively. The mean operation time was 225 (150-420) minutes and the mean evaluated blood loss was 53 (20.0-110.0) mL. The grafts included buccal mucosa (19/22, 86.4%) and lingual mucosa (3/22, 13.6%). The mean postoperative Q max was 21.2 (15-32) mL/s. A case of skin fistula and 2 cases of recurrent stricture were found, so the technique success rate was 81.8% (18/22) at a mean follow-up of 20.5 (5-51) months. The perioperative complications included 2 cases of infection and skin necrosis, which healed well after conservative treatment. CONCLUSION Single-stage repair of penile urethral stricture using combined dorsal onlay oral mucosa grafting with ventral onlay penile skin flap appears to be an excellent option to repair penile urethral stricture with unsalvageable urethral plate and the penile skin is available. The present clinical series showed a successful rate of 81.8% (18/22).

Abstract
At the present day, curettage and periodontal surgery comprise the main strategy for the treatment of periodontitis, however, these methods are limited in regenerating cementum. It has been found that some biological factors such asenamel matrix derivative (EMD), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) could promote cementum regeneration. In the cementum regenerationstudies, there has been a lack of criteria to distinguish cementum from alveolar bone and other types of cementum. Therefore, this article will briefly review the biological factors that affect the cementum regeneration and the molecular markers used to judge the regenerating cementum.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of multimode MRI features for nuclear grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: From January 2016 to October 2017, 381 patients (387 tumors) with ccRCC proven by pathology in Chinese PLA General Hospital First Medical Center were enrolled (male 293, female 88, age 24-87 years old). The clinical and imaging data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical information (gender, age, BMI, smoke, hypertension) and preoperative renal MRI. Pre-and post-contrast MRI features were subjectively scored. The largest diameter of each lesion was measured. Two-sample t-test,Chi-squared test and binuary Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of clinical and MRI data. Results: According to WHO/ISUP nuclear grade system,all ccRCCs (n=387) were divided into low grade (n=322) and high grade group (n=65). Between two groups, there were significant differences in age and diameter((54±12) vs (59±10) years old, P=0.001; (4.1±2.2) vs (6.2±3.0) cm, P<0.01). In MRI scores,there were significant differences in scores of pseudocapsule, shape and margin,hemorrhage,enhancement degree,cystic-solid,intratumoral vessel,peritumoral vessel, renal sinus invasion, vein thrombosis, lymphadenopathy, necrosis, perinephric invasion and metastasis, DWI signal intensity between high grade group and low grade group (all P<0.01). Binuary Logistic regression analysis showed that shape and margin, enhancement degree and DWI signal intensity were independent predictors for high grade ccRCC (OR=0.181, 95%CI 0.049-0.666; OR=0.393, 95%CI 0.182-0.846; OR=0.336, 95%CI 0.155-0.728). A nomogram model for predicting the risk of high grade ccRCC was constructed. Conclusions: Multimode MRI features can differentiate low grade and high grade ccRCC. The nomogram developed in this study might aid urologist in the pre-operative prediction of nuclear grade of ccRCC,which might contribute to developing treatment strategy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognosis and influencing factors of postoperative low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) for rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic sphincter-preserving radical resection. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was used in this study. Clinical data of 268 rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic sphincter-preserving radical resection at Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2016 to January 2018 were retrospectively collected. Inclusion criteria: (1) operation procedure was total mesorectal excision (TME) and sphincter-preserving radical resection; (2) rectal cancer was confirmed by postoperative pathology; (3) age of patient was ≥ 18 years old. Exclusion criteria: (1) patient who had history of pelvic surgery and pelvic fractures, which would affect the anorectal function; (2) patient who had history of preoperative chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, which would affect defecation; (3) patient who developed postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leakage, which would affect defecation function; (4) patient who received long-term use of drugs, which would affect the function of gastrointestinal tract or anus; (5) patient suffered from mental illness, who was unable to communicate properly; (6) patient who was lack of clinical data or had incomplete clinical data. Patients were followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, and LARS was diagnosed and graded according to the LARS score scale. The LARS score ranged from 0 to 42 points, and 0 to 20 was difined as no LARS, 21 to 29 was mild LARS, and 30 to 42 was severe LARS. LARS score >20 points at any time point was defined as postoperative LARS. Severe LARS transferring into mild LARS and mild LARS transferring into no LARS was defined as symptom improvement. Incidence and outcomes of LARS were evaluated. The factors associated with LARS outcomes were analyzed using χ(2) test and logistic regression model. Results: A total of 268 patients were enrolled. The incidence of LARS was 42.9% (115/268), 32.5% (87/268) and 20.1% (54/268) at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively respectively, and no new case of LARS was found after 3 months postoperatively. The incidence of mild LARS was 25.7% (69/268), 17.2% (46/268) and 8.6% (23/268) at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively respectively, and mild LARS incidence at 6 months was significantly lower than that at 3 months (χ(2)=5.857, P=0.016), and was significantly higher than that at 12 months (χ(2)=8.799, P=0.003). The incidence of severe LARS was 17.2% (46/268), 15.3% (41/268) and 11.6% (31/268) at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively respectively, without significant difference among 3 time points (all P>0.05). The improvement rate within one year after surgery in patients with mild LARS diagnosed at 3 months was significantly higher than that in patients with severe LARS (88.4% vs. 32.6%, χ(2)=38.340, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that female, distance from anastomosis to anal verge < 5 cm and tumor diameter ≥ 5 cm were associated with unsatisfied LARS outcomes (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that distance from anastomosis to anal verge <5 cm was an independent risk factor for LARS outcome (OR=3.589, 95% CI: 1.163 to 2.198, P<0.001). Conclusions: The incidence of LARS after laparoscopic sphincter-preserving radical resection decreases with time. The improvement rate within postoperative 1-year of severe LARS is lower than that of mild LARS. Low anastomotic position may lead to impaired improvement of LARS.

Abstract
The China Foundation of Hepatitis Prevention and Control (CFHPC) initiated a project named, "getting to zero mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B," in July 2015, which aims to further reduce the incidence of mother-to-child transmission through standardized follow-up management of pregnant women and their infants with chronic hepatitis B virus infection by means of mobile medical application. Over the past three years, the project has established a nationwide collaborative network for interruption of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus, with 123 hospitals as project members. In addition, it has formulated a technical guidance document (Clinical Management Algorithm for Interrupting Mother-to-Child Transmission of HBV), which is designed and developed as a mobile medical application (SHIELD APP), and was released in an international conference on the theme to eliminate viral hepatitis. Following the measures mentioned above, the public's awareness rate of hepatitis B have been raised, and a good social atmosphere has been formed, which has played a positive role in promoting the prevention and control of viral hepatitis in China.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of immediate cessation of antiviral therapy on postpartum liver function and the factors influencing postpartum abnormality in mothers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. One hundred eighty-eight pregnant women with HBV DNA level > 2×106 IU/ml were enrolled from June 2014 to June 2018. Demographic information and clinical data of liver function and HBV DNA load during gravidity, intrapartum and postpartum period were collected. According to the antiviral treatment recommendations during pregnancy, the women were divided into three groups, namely, tenofovir (TDF), telbivudine (LdT) and control group. Liver function abnormalities among the three groups were compared within 6 months after delivery, and the factors influencing abnormal liver function were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression. Results: Of the 188 cases, 72 cases were in the TDF group, 80 cases in the LdT group, and 36 cases in the control group. Pregnant women in the TDF and LdT groups received oral TDF (300 mg/d) and LdT (600 mg/d) from 28 ± 4 weeks of gestation till delivery. Among the 188 patients, 30 (16.0%) had abnormal postpartum liver function abnormality. The incidence of postpartum liver function abnormality [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN)] in the TDF, LdT, and control groups was 19.4%, 12.5%, and 16.7%, respectively. The postpartum peak levels of ALT (median, range) in the three groups were 34.5 (12.0-946.0) U/L, 37.5 (12.0-733.8) U/L, and 39.0 (7.0-513.0) U/L, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two indexes among the three groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the degree of postpartum liver function abnormalities between the three groups (P = 0.944). Most of the liver function abnormalities were mild to moderate (2 × ULN≤ALT < 10 × ULN), and usually resolved spontaneously or by treatment. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that baseline ALT level during pregnancy was an independent factor associated with postpartum liver function abnormality (OR = 1.031, CI 95%: 1.005-1.058; χ(2) = 5.340, P = 0.021), whereas age, antiviral therapy, HBeAg-positivity, baseline HBV DNA levels, gravidity, parity, preterm delivery and delivery mode were not significantly associated with postpartum liver function abnormality. Conclusion: Cessation of antiviral therapy after delivery did not significantly increase the risk of postpartum liver function abnormality in pregnant women with chronic HBV infection. The ALT level during pregnancy is a factor influencing postpartum liver function abnormality.

Abstract
The World Health Organization(WHO)has set the goal to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030, and the key to achieve this ambitious goal lies on the standardized and precise management of pregnant women and their infants by effectively blocking mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Standardized management includes screening and antiviral intervention during pregnancy, infant immunization, and evaluation of immune effect, breastfeeding and mode of delivery. The results of randomized controlled clinical trials and real-world data have confirmed that the comprehensive prevention strategy based on combined immune prophylaxis of neonates can effectively block MTCT of HBV. It is one of the key links to eliminate viral hepatitis in our country, and to formulate a new strategy in line with the public health needs at home and abroad and thereby promote the implementation and application of standardized management process to improve the public's awareness of the disease.

Abstract
Objective: To study the disease process of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) infection in rat model of VVC, and to study the immuno-repairing effect of different treatments on vaginal epithelium and the ultra-structural changes of vaginal epithelial cells. Methods: The VVC model of female rats were established. After successful modeling, the rats were treated with no treatment (model control group), nystatin and Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository. The vaginal epithelium was observed by transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemical staining. The ultra-structural changes of epithelial cells and the expression of cytokines interferon γ (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL) 4, IL-17 and IgG in epithelial cells were observed and analyzed statistically. Results: The negative conversion rate of model control group was 0, and that of nystatin group was 6/6, and that of Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository group was 5/6; significant difference existed between nystatin, Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository group and model control group (P<0.05). The ultrastructures of vaginal epithelial cells were damaged obviously after VVC infection, and the ultrastructures were repaired by nystatin and Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository under transmission electron microscope. Immunohistochemical staining showed, the expressions of IFN-γ and IgG in the four cytokines which played a protective role increased after Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository treatment, significantly different from that of model control group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences of the IFN-γ and IgG expression between Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository group and those of nystatin group (P>0.05); the expression of IL-17 was increased after nystatin treatment, but decreased after Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository treatment, and the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions: The ultrastructure of vaginal epithelial cells after VVC infection could be damaged obviously, the local immune state is disordered, and the antifungal drug nystatin has a good therapeutic effect on VVC, it could significantly repair the damaged vaginal epithelium structure after VVC infection and strengthen the protective immune function of vaginal epithelium. Kangfu Xiaoyan suppository, one of Chinese medicine, has similar therapeutic effect with nystatin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the expression levels and clinical significance of miR-503 and miR-375 in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS 40 cases of cancer tissues and adjacent tissues in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were collected from March 2017 to September 2017 in the Department of Gastroenterology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Polytechnic University. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the expressions of miR-503 and miR-375 in cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. The association between their expressions and the gender, age, degree of tumor differentiation, TNM staging, presence or absence of lymph node metastasis, and other clinicopathological characteristics of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was analyzed. RESULTS The results showed that the expression level of miR-503 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues (6.83±2.14) was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (2.45±1.13). The expression level of miR-375 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues (3.75±1.06) was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (7.45±1.13). The expression levels of miR-503 and miR-375 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were related to the existence of lymph node metastasis, degree of differentiation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and TNM staging (p<0.001). There was no correlation between the expressions of miR-503 and miR-375 and the age, gender and tumor size of patients (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS miR-503 was highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and miR-375 was lowly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. miR-503 and miR-375 were closely related to the lymphatic metastasis, degree of differentiation and TNM staging of the tumor.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of UCHL5 on proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Methods: SW527 cells were infected with lentiviral vector carrying short hairpin RNA to delete the expression of UCHL5. 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay was used to examine cell proliferation, and subcutaneous transplantation experiments were performed to detect tumor growth. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V/ Propidium iodide (PI) double staining. The correlation between UCHL5 expression and the expressions of proliferation and apoptosis associated genes was analyzed using TCGA breast invasive carcinoma data set. The relationship between UCHL5 expression and breast cancer patients'survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Plotter online tool. Results: After knockdown of UCHL5, A values of SW527 cells on day 2 and day 4 were 0.822±0.017 and 1.045±0.023, respectively, which were significantly lower than 0.976±0.016 and 1.284±0.025 of control cells on day 2 and day 4 (P<0.001). In vivo xenografted mouse model, the volume in UCHL5-suppressed group was (166.90±75.05) mm(3,) significantly smaller than (329.80±35.84) mm(3) in control group (P=0.029). Flow cytometry analysis showed the apoptotic rate of SW527 cells was (8.60±1.13)% after knockdown of UCHL5, significantly higher than (2.95±0.07)% of control group (P=0.020). TCGA database analysis showed that the expression of UCHL5 was positively correlated with the expressions of genes related to cell proliferation, in paralled with the increased expression of UCHL5, the expression of the pro-apoptosis associated genes was decreased. Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis demonstrated that the overall survival and relapse-free survival of breast cancer patients with high expression of UCHL5 were much shorter (all P<0.001). Conclusions: Down-regulation of UCHL5 inhibits the proliferation and tumor formation and promotes apoptosis of SW527 cells. High expression of UCHL5 may predict poor prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective:Through the observation and measurement of the adjacent anatomical structures exposed by the pure microscope and endoscopic-assisted technique for the enlarged middle cranial fossa approach to the petroclival region, quantitative compare the advantages of endoscopic-assisted technique and the pure microscope exposure. Method:The enlarged middle cranial fossa approach was performed on 10 cases (20 sides) fresh adult cadaveric head specimens in which the vessels were injected with colored silicone. At the end of every enlarged middle cranial fossa approachs, endoscope assisted technique was applied. The effective working areas were measured under pure microscope and endoscopic-assisted technique. Result:The distance between the trigeminal nerve root entering the pons and the upper limit of exposure to the middle of the ventral brainstem under the microscope was(15.95±0.48)mm;the distance from the initial point of the acoustic-facial bundle to the lower bound of exposure to the middle of the ventral brainstem under the microscope was(10.79±0.51)mm;The distance between the trigeminal nerve root entering the pons and the upper limit of exposure to the middle of the ventral brainstem under endoscopy was(18.88±0.36)mm;the distance from the initial point of the acoustic-facial bundle to the lower bound of exposure to the middle of the ventral brainstem under endoscopy was(14.56±0.64)mm. Conclusion:In the anatomic study of the enlarged middle cranial fossa approach to the petroclival region, the endoscopic assistance has a larger effective exposure space and flexible perspective compared with the operation under the microscope, which is helpful to accurately locate the position and size of the lesion during surgery, accurately identify the important nerves and blood vessels surrounding the lesion, so as to improve the resection rate and reduce the recurrence rate.

Methods: A total of 2 717 individuals ranging in age from 30~59 years were recruited in 18 community health centers of Shenzhen city from March 1 to June 15, 2015 by a cluster sampling method. The results of genotype of HPV, liquid-based cytology (LBC), colposcopy and pathology were analyzed. The clinical sensitivity and specificity as well as positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values of the combination of different HPV genotype in screening the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2 and above were estimated. Results: The HPV infection rate in Shenzhen area was 15.9% (432/2 717). The most common HPV genotype was HPV52 (22.9%), followed by HPV16 (12.7%), HPV53 (10.0%), HPV51 (8.6%) and HPV58 (8.1%). Compared with HPV16/18 genotyping, HPV33/16 genotyping had a higher sensitivity (57.1% vs. 42.9%, P<0.05) and an analogous specificity (87.3% vs. 86.9%, P>0.05) in predicting CIN2+ . The sensitivity of combination of HPV33/16 genotyping and low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) positive tested by LBC in predicting CIN2+ was 75.0%, significantly higher than 64.3% of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) positive tested by LBC alone (P<0.05). The specificities of these two methods mentioned above in predicting CIN2+ were 83.5% and 89.2%, respectively, without statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusions: Women infected by HPV have distinct risks for CIN2+ according to different high-risk HPV genotypes. The top five risks were HPV 33, 16, 58, 56, and 68. HPV-positive women triaged by LBC LSIL+ combined with HPV33/16 genotyping may be a potential strategy for cervical cancer screening in developed urban area.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of fluoride exposure on the thyroid hormone level and intelligence in rats and to investigate the biomarkers of intellectual impairment induced by high fluoride exposure. Methods: A total of 24 clean healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (tap water containing 0.344 mg/L fluoride) and low-, medium-, and high-fluoride exposure groups (tap waters containing 10, 50, and 100 mg/L sodium fluoride, respectively). One male rat was cohabited with two female rats in the same group. After the offspring rats were weaned, 12 offspring rats (male/female ratio=1∶1) with a similar body weight in each group were subjected to the same treatment for the parental offspring. The offspring rats were sacrificed on the 60th day after birth. The weight of offspring rats was measured. Serum thyrotropin (TSH) , free triiodothyronine (FT(3)) , and free thyroxine (FT(4)) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The learning and memory abilities of the rats were evaluated by Morris water maze test. The expression of mitochondrial fission 1 (Fis1) and mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) in blood was measured by Western blot. Results: The offspring rats in the medium-and high-fluoride exposure groups had significantly lower serum TSH and FT(4) levels than those in the control group (P<0.05). The place navigation test showed that the offspring rats in the medium-and high-fluoride exposure groups had significantly longer escape latency than those in the control group (P<0.05) , and the high-fluoride exposure group had a significantly longer escape distance than those in the control group (P<0.05). The spatial probe test showed that the offspring rats in the low-, medium-, and high-fluoride exposure groups had significantly shorter swimming time and distance in the target quadrant and total swimming time and distance than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the offspring rats in the control group, those in the low-, medium-, and high-fluoride exposure groups had significantly higher expression of Fis1 (P<0.05) , and those in the low- and medium-fluoride exposure groups had significantly higher expression of Mfn1 (P<0.05) . Conclusion: High fluoride exposure can reduce the secretion of thyroid hormone and the abnormality of mitochondrial dynamics in peripheral lymphocytes may provide a clue to identifying the biomarkers of intellectual impairment induced by fluoride exposure.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between occupational stress and working ability of workers in a petroleum processing enterprise in a high altitude area. Methods: A total of 728 workers in a petroleum processing enterprise at an altitude of 2850 m were subjected to a survey using Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI) , Work Ability Index (WAI) Scale, Occupational Role Questionnaire (ORQ) , Personal Strain Questionnaire (PSQ) , and Personal Resource Questionnaire (PRQ) from May 2014 to August 2016. Results: Of the 728 workers, 55 (7.6%) had a poor working ability, moderate in 262 (35.9%) , and good in 411 (56.5%). There were significant differences in WAI between the workers with different types of work, sexes, ages, and working years (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in WAI between different occupational stress groups (P<0.05). WAI was negatively correlated with ORQ score and PSQ score (r(s)=-0.387, P<0.05; r(s)=-0.467, P<0.05) and positively correlated with PRQ score (r(s)=0.343, P<0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that high ORQ score and PSQ score were the inhibitory factors for high WAI (B=-0.058; B=-0.082) and high PRQ score was a contributing factor for high WAI (B=0.029) . Conclusion: Occupational stress is an influencing factor for the working ability of workers in the petroleum processing enterprise in the high altitude area. Hypoxia in high altitude area may further reduce the working ability. In order to reduce occupational stress and improve work ability, it should be considered to strengthen skills training, improve the working environment, and pay attention to mental health.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and therapy of hepatic perivascular epithelioid neoplasms (PEComa). Methods: The clinical data of eleven patients with hepatic PEComa who received surgical treatment at Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from April 2012 to October 2017 were collected. The clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, pathologic features, prognosis were analyzed. Results: The patients aged from 35 to 55 years (mean: 47 years , 3 males and 8 females). Two patients had epigastric pain, the others rarely had any clinical symptom. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was present in one patient 9.09%(1/11), the rate of correct diagnosis by imageological examination before operation was only 9.09%(1/11). All patients received a surgical resection, the final diagnosis of hepatic PEComa was made with pathology and immunohistochemistry. The antibodies used for immunohistochemistry varied from patient to patient. The positive rates of Melan A, HMB45, smooth muscle actin and S-100 were 100%(10/10), 90%(9/10), 77.8%(7/9)and 33.3%(3/9) respectively, the Ki-67 positive index was 1%-10%. One patient died after surgery because of hemorrhage, other ten patients received long-term follow-up(5-71 months), and no recurrence or metastasis was observed. Conclusion: Hepatic PEComa is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm which expresses both melanocytic and myogenic markers. Middle aged females are susceptive to hepatic PEComa, and patients rarely have any specific clinical presentation. It's difficult to make a correct diagnosis before operation. The diagnosis finally depends on the pathological examination. Surgical resection and close follow-up are the principal methods for the management of hepatic PEComa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of clinical manifestation, imaging, fiber-bronchoscope finding and pulmonary function testing in the patients of relapsing polychodriti with respiratory symptoms. METHODS The clinical data of 33 patients with RP in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from May 2007 to May 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into respiratory group (21 cases) and non-respiratory group (12 cases) based on whether the respiratory symptoms were main involvement, and the data of the two groups were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Among the 33 patients, the most vulnerable system was respiratory system, accounting for 63.6%. The other involvement areas were as follows: ears 48.5%, joints 30.3%, skin 15.2%, noses and eyes 12.1% respectively. The chief complaints in the respiratory group were cough, polypnea, and fever. The major manifestations of the non-respiratory group were pain and swelling of ears and nose, joints. CT showed that the wall of trachea and main bronchus were thickened, calcified, and narrowed in 13 cases (61.9%) of the respiratory group. while 3 patients (25.0%) found thickened bronchus wall without bronchostenosis in non-respiratory group . Bronchoscopy showed that 86.7% (13/15) of the patients were found airway abnormal in the respiratory group, and none of the patients in the non-respiratory group had. In the test of pulmonary function, the respiratory group had lower one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), [FEV1/ forced vital capacity (FVC)] and peak expiratory flow (PEF), and all the differences were significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION CT, broncho-scopy, and pulmonary function tests could provide early evidence to diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis, which is lack of specificity of diagnosis, especially respiratory system symptom onset.

Abstract
Objective: To understand characteristics of vaginal cervical microbiota in high-risk HPV (hrHPV) infected women and to uncover the relationship between hrHPV infection and vaginal cervical microbiota. Methods: All participants were randomly selected from Peking University First Hospital from September to October of 2017, including 5 subjects of control group, 5 cases of HPV16/18 group, 5 cases of other hrHPV infected group and 3 cases of cervical squamous carcinoma group. All subjects were required to fill in a questionnaire, and cervical and vaginal discharges were separately collected for microscopic examination and new generation sequencing targeting the variable region (V3-V4) of bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Results: Vaginal microbiota analysis: (1) 6 major phylum were found in vaginal microbiota:Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria, Tenericutes and Proteobacteria. Firmicutes contributed to the majority of normal vaginal flora, Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria increased in hrHPV infected ones, while Fusobacteria showed significant difference in cervical carcinoma group. (2) Lactobacillus occupied most of normal vaginal flora while genus like Gardnella, Prevotella, Atopobium, Megasphaera and Sneathia increased in hrHPV infected subjects, Sneathia showed significant difference in cervical carcinoma group. (3) No significant difference had been calculated in Alpha diversity of four groups (P=0.073) . Cervical microbiota analysis: (1) Microbial diversity of cervical microbiota was higher than that of vaginal microbiota. (2) Significant difference had been found in Alpha diversity of four groups (P=0.046) . (3) Proteobacteria in normal cervical flora was much more than that in vagina, and Proteobacteria increased significantly in hrHPV infected cervical discharge. (3) Chlamydia increased significantly in cervical carcinoma group. Conclusions: The diversity of cervical microbiota is higher than that of vaginal microbiota. Change in cervical microbiota is more obvious than that of vagina in hrHPV infected subjects. Fusobacteria-Sneathia and Chlamydia significantly increase in cervical carcinoma group. Proteobacteria might relate to hrHPV infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of "3-step" strategy of transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty for the simple pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect in male patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 162 male patients with simple traumatic posterior urethral stricture or stenosis admitted from January 2014 to October 2015. All had no complex complications, such as urethroperineal fistulas or urethrorectal fistulas. Before referral to Department of Urology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, 64 patients had undergone previous treatments: urethroplasty in 30 patients (18.5%), early urethral realignment in 17 patients (10.5%) and 17 patients (10.5%) who had undergone internal urethrotomy. The remaining 98 patients received the suprapubic cystostomy in the acute setting. All of them had received transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty with "3-step" strategy. Step 1, the bulbar urethra was circumferentially mobilized and tension-free anastomosis could be performed after the scar was completely incised and removed. Step 2, if after step 1 a tension-free anastomosis could not be achieved, were routed the distal urethra between the separated corporal bodies. Step 3, if the anastomosis still seemed to be under tension, we could perform pubectomy, partial or total removal, to get a better exposure of the apex of the prostate-membranous urethra. RESULTS The mean age of the patients included in this study was 36.3 years (rangingfrom 16-74 years). The mean time between incidents and operation was 13.5 months (ranging from 3-124 months) and the mean length of stricture was 2.7 cm (ranging from 0.5-6.5 cm).The mean time of operation was 92 (45-240) min and the mean evaluated blood lose was 120 (60-800) mL. Three patients (1.9%) received blood transfusing during or after the operations. The numbers of the patients who completed step 1, step 2 and step 3 were 50(30.9%), 74(45.7%) and 38(23.5%), respectively. There were 4 (2.5%) patients who needed the combined transpubic and transperineal approach for tension-free anastomosis after removing an entire wedge of anterior pubis. The mean follow-up was 19.5 months and 18 patients' strictures recurred with manifestation of decreased stream of dysuria. The overall success rate was 88.9%(144/162). CONCLUSION Based on the "3-step" strategy of transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty, patients with simple PFUDD can achieve a tension-free anastomosis. The present clinical data showed a successful rate of 88.9% (144/162).

Abstract
Objective:To explore the feasibility of intercricothyrotomy in emergency airway management. Method:Characteristics of 27 cases underwent surgical cricothyrotomy were analyzed. Result:The main causes of emergency were severe trauma of head and neck, larynx stenosis, interspaces infection of the floor of the mouth and submaxillary space, etc; all the patients were divided into 2 groups : surgical cricothyrotomy as the first choice (group A,16/27) and surgical cricothyrotomy after conventional tracheotomy (group B,11/27); The average time of opening airway for group A was much shorter than group B [(58.12±24.41)s, (739.09±245.29)s,respectively, P<0.01)]; Bleeding in group A (14 cases) was much less than group B (13 cases) [(2.36±1.16)ml, (4.65±4.31)ml,respectively, P<0.01]; Except 1 cases died from primary disease, 4 cases with laryngeal stenosis underwent laryngeal dilation with T type expansion tube and 2 cases of bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, the average time with tracheal tube of the remaining 20 patients was (12.35±7.29)d, no postoperative complications such as larynx or tracheal stenosis were found. All of them were successfully extubation. Conclusion:Surgical cricothyrotomy procedure is fast and safe with simple and convenient that can be used as the preferred method of rapid airway opening when a critical respiratory tract was difficult to manage.

Abstract
AIMS 2-(4-methyl-thiazol-5-yl) ethyl nitrate maleate (NMZM), a derivative of clomethiazole (CMZ), had been investigated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The beneficial effects of NMZM in AD included reversing cognitive deficit, improving learning and memory as well as neuroprotection. The pharmacological effects of NMZM on GABAA receptors were reported previously; however, the mechanisms were unclear and were explored therefore. RESULTS In this study, we demonstrated that NMZM improved learning and memory by alleviating scopolamine-induced long-term potentiation (LTP) suppression in the dentate gyrus of rats, indicating that NMZM had protective effects against scopolamine-induced depression of LTP. Next, we investigated the action of NMZM on GABAA receptors in hippocampal neurons and the binding site of NMZM on GABAA receptors. NMZM directly activated GABAA receptors in hippocampal neurons in a weak manner. However, NMZM could potentiate the response of GABAA receptors to GABA and NMZM positively modulated GABAA receptors with an EC50 value of 465 μmol/L at 3 μmol/L GABA while this potentiation at low concentration of GABA (1, 3 μmol/L) was more significant than that at high concentration (10, 30 μmol/L). In addition, NMZM could enhance GABA currents after using diazepam and pentobarbital, the positive modulators of GABAA receptors. NMZM could not affect the etomidate-potentiated GABAA current. It suggested that the binding site of NMZM on GABAA receptors is the same as etomidate. CONCLUSIONS These results provided support for the neuroprotective effect of NMZM, which was partly dependent on the potentiation of GABAA receptors. The etomidate binding site might be a new target for neuronal protection and for drug development.

Abstract
Objective: To disclose the correlation between the femur bowing angle(FBA) and vulgas correction angle(VCA), anlysys its influence on the total knee arthroplasty and the lower limbs alignment. Methods: From Janurary 2013 to December 2015, 699 patients who had received total knee arthroplasty(TKA)were collected in the Department of Joint Surgery, China-Japan Friendship. The FBA, VCA, offset of the proximal femur, the lengh of the femur, the neck shaft angle of the femur of the eligible cases from the long leg X-ray were measured.All the data were analysed for the following steps: the FBA's mean value and characteristics of distributation of all the cases; the VCA's mean value and characteristics of distributation of all the cases; correlations between the VCA and the other parameters; divide all the cases into four groups based on the value of FBA : group A(FBA<-3°, 29), group B(-3°≤FBA≤0°, 255), group C(0°<FBA≤3°, 480), group D(FBA>3°, 236)and then plan to cut the distal femur with 5° and 6°, respectively. The percent of ideal alignmental outcome's percentage of every group were compared. Results: The mean Value of the FBA is -7.1--12.1(1.4±2.4)°; the mean Value of the VCA is 2.5--11.9(6.5±1.3)°. The correlation index between VCA and FBA, the neck shaft angle of the femur , offset of the hip joint, the lengh of the femur is 0.72, -0.26, 0.45 and -0.08, perspectively. The theoretical ideal alignment percentage of the 5 degree-valgus-bone cut and 6 degree-valgus-bone cut in every group is group A: 89.7% and 66.5%; group B: 93.7% and 95.7%; group C: 71.9% and 94.6%; group D: 21.2% and 50.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The cases whose femur bowing angles are outliers are common in daily medical practice, so the vulgas correction angles need be ajusted for its significant correlation with FBA. 5 degree-valgus-bone cut or 6 degree-valgus-bone cut could not get the ideal alignment some times.
