Objective To investigating the microbial communities and physicochemical properties of soil and distribution of Oncomelania hupensis snails in marshlands along the Yangtze River basin at different types of land use, and to examine the effects of soil microorganisms and physicochemical properties on snail distribution, so as to provide insights into snail control and schistosomiasis prevention in marshland along the Yangtze River basin. Methods Marshlands with four types of land use were selected along the Yangtze River basin on April 2021, including poplar forest-crops integrated planting, reed areas, agricultural cultivation lands and ditches. The distribution of snails and physicochemical properties of soil were investigated in marshlands with different types of land use, and the V3 to V4 regions of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene, fungal internal transcribed spacer-1 (ITS1) gene and algal ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) gene in soils were subjected to high-throughput sequencing. The occurrence of frames with living snails and density of living snails were compared in marshland with different types of land use. The associations of soil microorganisms and physicochemical properties with the density of living snails were examined using Pearson correlation analysis, and the contributions of soil microorganisms and physicochemical properties to the density of living snails were evaluated using variance partitioning analysis. Results In marshlands with four types of land use, the greatest occurrence of frames with living snails [(4.94 ± 2.14)%] and density of living snails [(0.070 ± 0.026) snails/0.1 m2] were seen in ditches, and the lowest were found in [(1.23 ± 1.23)%] agricultural cultivation lands [(0.016 ± 0.019) snails/0.1 m2]. A total of 2 phyla, 5 classes, 8 orders, 9 families and 11 genera of algae were detected in soils at four types of land use, with Chlorophyta as the dominant phylum and Pseudoneochloris as the dominant genus. A total of 44 phyla, 134 classes, 281 orders, 338 families and 516 genera of bacteria were detected in soils at four types of land use, with Proteobacteria and Acidobacteriota as the dominant phyla and uncultured Acidobacterium, MND1, Mitrospira, Haliangium and Sphingomonas as dominant genera. A total of 11 phyla, 41 classes, 108 orders, 223 families and 408 genera of fungi were detected in soils at four types of land use, with phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Mortierellomycota presenting high relative abundances and genera Cladorrhinum, Mortierella and Humicola presenting high relative abundances. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the density of living snails correlated negatively with the relative abundance of Proteobacteria (r = −0.965, P < 0.05) and soil electronic conductivity (r = −0.962, P < 0.05) and positively with soil moisture (r = 0.951, P < 0.05). Variance partitioning analysis demonstrated that the physicochemical properties and microorganisms of soil contributed 69% and 10% to the density of living snails, respectively. Conclusion The diversity of microbial communities varies in soils at different types of land use in marshland along the Yangtze River basin, and the physicochemical properties and microorganisms of soils may affect the distribution of O. hupensis snails.

Objective@#To study the pathological features, immunophenotypes, differential diagnoses and prognostic parameters of collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney (CDC).@*Methods@#Clinical imaging, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and survival data of 10 patients at First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2009 to August 2017 were retrospectively analyzed along with a review of literatures.@*Results@#The clinical symptoms of CDC were not specific, and image examinations showed space-occupying mass lesions. Tumors were mainly located in renal medulla with grey and firm cut face and the presence of focal hemorrhage and necrosis. Microscopically, there were predominant tubular or tubular-papillary structures with associated focal sarcomatoid areas, desmoplastic stromal reaction and lymphoplasmacytic cells infiltration. Tumor cells had marked cytological atypia with high grade nuclei, conspicuous nucleolus and numerous mitoses. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were strongly positive for CK19, E-cadherin, vimentin, HCK, CK7 and PAX8. The main treatment was radical nephrectomy in the patients. Seven cases died of CDC with median survival of 10 months.@*Conclusions@#CDC is a rare, highly aggressive malignancy of kidney with poor prognosis. Definitive diagnosis should be made by histology and immunohistochemistry. Differential diagnoses include papillary renal cell carcinoma(type Ⅱ), renal medullary carcinoma, infiltrating high grade urothelial carcinoma, renal pelvis adenocarcinoma and metastatic adenocarcinomas.

Objective To study the influence of ammoniummeta vanadate on the histological structure of jejunum of rats. Methods One hundred and twelve healthy and clean SD rats were randomly divided into the high dosage (60 mg/L),the moderate dosage(40 mg/L),the low dosage(20 mg/L) and the control group(distilled water),28 in each group,the males and females in the same number,the administration was conducted through drinking water,for 8 consecutive weeks. In the 4th and 8th weeks,the length of jejunum villus,the depth of jejunum gland and the thickness of jejunum wall were measured,the ratio of villus length and gland depth were counted and the pathological examination was done. Results With the increase of ammoniummeta vanadate,the weight of SD rats,the jejunum villus length,the depth of the jejunum gland,the wall thickness had showed a downward trend,the ratio of villus length and gland depth were significantly lower (P
