Objective:To investigate the correlation between hematological parameters and testicular viability, and to identify potential indicators of intraoperative testicular viability or postoperative testicular atrophy.Methods:Clinical data of 173 children with testicular torsion treated by emergency operation in the Department of Urology, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2006 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the surgical methods, 90 and 83 cases were included in the orchiectomy group and orchiopexy group, respectively.The duration of onset, spermatic cord torsion degree and hematological parameters of the 2 groups were compared by the independent-samples t test, χ2 test and Mann- Whitney U test.Risk factors for testicular resection were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.In addition, 30 children in the orchiopexy group were followed up for bilateral scrotal ultrasound at 6 months postoperatively.They were sub-grouped into testicular atrophy group (13 cases, 43.3%) and non-atrophy group (17 cases). Differences between 2 subgroups were compared by the independent-samples t test and Mann- Whitney U test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the prognostic potentials of indexes with significant differences in children with the duration of onset of >6-<51 h. Results:Duration of onset (9.3 h vs.51.0 h)( Z=-8.293, P<0.001), spermatic cord torsion degree (360.0° vs. 540.0°)( Z=-5.267, P<0.001), mean platelet volume (MPV) (9.8 fL vs.10.1 fL)( Z=-2.018, P=0.044) and age (147.5 months vs. 143.0 months)( Z=-2.165, P=0.030) were significantly different between the orchiopexy group and the orchiectomy group.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that the duration of onset ( OR=1.033, P<0.001), spermatic cord torsion degree ( OR=1.004, P<0.001) and MPV ( OR=1.662, P=0.044) were positively correlated with testicular resection.For patients with the duration of onset of >6-<51 h, the area under the curve (AUC) of duration of onset, spermatic cord torsion degree and MPV was 0.753, 0.755 and 0.629, respectively.MPV was significantly different in the postoperative testicular atrophy group and the non-atrophy group [(10.2±0.5) fL vs.(9.8±0.5) fL]( t=2.426, P=0.022). The ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of MPV for predicting testicular atrophy was 9.9 fL, and its sensitivity and specificity were 83.3% and 70.6%, respectively, the AUC was 0.752. Conclusions:The duration of onset, spermatic cord torsion degree and MPV can be used as predictors of intraoperative testicular viability, which are helpful for clinicians to predict and judge the testicular necrosis caused by testicular torsion before operation.In addition, 43.3% of children with testicular torsion eventually developed testicular atrophy after orchiopexy, and only MPV may be used as a predictor of postoperative testicular atrophy.

Background and purpose: Ovarian lymphoma (OL) is usually misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer with bulk lymph node invasion (OC-BLN), and vice versa. Therefore, to distinguish these two types of disease, we compared their clinical characteristics in this study. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 14 OL and 14 OC-BLN patients from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital. The clinical char-acteristics, image and laboratory examination data were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in age, symptom, fever, weight loss and volume of ascitic fluid between the two groups. Comparing with OC-BLN, OL patients have larger tumor in ovaries [(13.04±5.94) cm vs (7.78±6.38) cm, P=0.033], and higher percentage of solid ovarian tumor (85.71% vs 28.5%, P=0.006). Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)/CA125 was higher in OL (7.66±8.03) than OC-BLN (0.31±0.27, P=0.009). Using LDH/CA125 to diagnose OL, area under the curve (AUC) was 0.952. When the threshold value was set at 1, the sensitivity and specificity was 91.7% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: OL and OC-BLN are easily to be misdiagnosed. OL has larger and more solid tumor than OC-BLN. LDH/CA125 can help to distinguish these two diseases and guide clinical decision making.

A total of 60 hemiplegic patients after stroke were divided randomly into 2 groups.The control group received conventional rehabilitation training while the treatment group isokinetic training based on conventional rehabilitation training.Both groups were trained for 8 weeks.Results showed the differences of peak torque of knee flexors and extensors were significant between two groups (P < 0.01).The ratio of flexion and extension showed significant difference (P < 0.01).The treatment group was superior to control group in walking ability (P < 0.01).Therefore isokinetic training provides significant improvement in stability of knees and walking ability in hemiplegic patients after stroke.

To develop a specific, rapid, and convenient immunochromatography assay (ICA) to detect melamine residues in dairy products and feed sample. Colloidal gold particles labeled with purified monoclonal antibody against anti-melamine were used as the detector reagent. The MEL-OVA (the conjugate of melamine and ovalbumin) and goat anti-mouse melamine IgG were blotted on the test and control regions of nitrocellulose membrane. The strip was then assembled with sample pad, absorbing pad, and dorsal shield. The limit of detection (LOD) is 50 microg/L. The test trip was applied to detect melamine in milk, milk powder, and animal feeds, with detection limits of 100 microg/L for milk, 100 ng/g for milk powder, 200 ng/g for feeds. Compared to LC-MS/MS, the ICA could be used to screen a large number of dairy products and feed samples for melamine residue.
