Objective To investigate the imaging features of intestinal schwannoma(IS)in order to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 14 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed IS were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,size,morphology,nature,growth pattern,CT density,MRI signal,PET/CT metabolism and other characteristics of the tumors.Results Of the 14 IS cases,the lesions of 3 cases were located in the duodenum,2 cases in the cecum,8 cases in the colon and 1 case in the rectum.The lesions were all round or oval,with an average maximum diameter of(2.4±1.1)cm.The lesions were solid in 13 cases,extraluminal growth in 10 cases,cystic degeneration in 1 case and myxoid degeneration in 1 case.Chronic inflammatory lymph nodes were seen around the diseased intestines in 9 cases,and the short diameter of lymph nodes was greater than 5 mm in 6 cases.All 14 cases of IS showed low attenuation on plain CT scan,and progressive enhancement after contrast injection,including 1 case of mild enhancement,2 cases of moderate enhancement,and 11 cases of obvious enhancement.Two cases of IS showed low signal intensity on T1WI,slightly high signal intensity on T2WI,significantly high signal intensity on DWI,and obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection on MRI.Two cases of IS showed high metabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and the SUVmax was 9.4 and 8.8,respectively.Conclusion The imaging findings of IS were characteristic to a certain extent.They mainly manifested as solid nodules or masses derived from the intestinal submucosa,with uniform attenuation or signal intensity,obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection,obvious hypermetabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and slightly larger homogeneous lymph nodes were common around the lesions.
Résumé
BACKGROUND@#Influenza places a heavy public health burden in numerous countries every year. In addition to vaccines, there are some interventions that are effective in preventing influenza.@*OBJECTIVE@#This overview of systematic reviews (SRs) aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interventions for influenza prevention.@*SEARCH STRATEGY@#We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2020, Issue 1 for relevant Cochrane SRs using the keywords "common cold," "influenza," and "flu."@*INCLUSION CRITERIA@#Cochrane SRs that investigated the prevention of influenza were included. Participants included the general population without influenza or influenza-like symptoms, who were treated with preventative interventions and compared to individuals receiving no treatment or placebo.@*DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS@#Two reviewers independently screened citations against pre-defined inclusion criteria and extracted data. The methodological quality of these SRs was evaluated using the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews-II (AMSTAR-II) guidelines. The primary outcome of our analysis was the incidence of influenza, and the secondary outcomes were the incidence of influenza-like illness and hospitalization. In addition to the narrative summary of SR findings, we also pooled data from homogeneous trials among these SRs and produced evidence mapping. We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the effect across interventions and used the Cochrane approach to grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) to assess the quality of evidence.@*RESULTS@#Eleven Cochrane SRs were included, covering five medications, eleven vaccinations and four complementary therapies. Among these SRs, 73% scored "high" quality on AMSTAR-II rating. We found that eight interventions, including amantadine, garlic, and six different vaccines, were beneficial for reducing the incidence of influenza compared to placebo, while oseltamivir, zanamivir, Ganmao capsule, Echinacea, and another three types of vaccine were probably beneficial. Ganmao capsule ranked highest for influenza prevention in the network meta-analysis, followed by amantadine, garlic, and vaccines of all types. Monovalent inactivated parenteral vaccine was found to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of influenza-like illness. None of the interventions reduced the hospitalization rate.@*CONCLUSION@#High-quality evidence showed that garlic or vaccine had advantages in preventing influenza, and that vitamin C is not effective. The effect of other interventions needs to be further verified with high-quality evidence.

Objective To investigate the effect of picropodophyllin (PPP) on proliferation and cell cycle of human colorectal cancer cell line HCT-15 and to clarify the related mechanism. Methods Different concentrations of PPP were used to treat HCT-15 cells, the proliferative activity of HCT-15 cells was detected by cell courting kit-8(CCK-8). Morphological changes of HCT-15 cells were observed under inverted microscope. Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of HCT-15 cell cycle and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cell cyclinD1. Results The result of CCK-8 assay showed that PPP inhibited the proliferation of HCT-15 cells in a dose-time-dependent manner. Under the inverted microscope, it was found that the HCT-15 cells lost their original shape and became round, the refractive index decreased, and the number of living cells decreased significantly. Flow cytometry showed that the proportion of G

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the effectiveness and safety of Xingnaojing Injection (XNJ, ) compared with naloxone for the treatment of acute alcohol intoxication (AAI), and provide the latest evidence through evidence-based approach.@*METHODS@#Seven electro-databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Databases, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP) and Wanfang Database were searched from the inception to January 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing XNJ with naloxone for patients with AAI and reporting at least one of the below outcomes were included: patients' conscious recovery time, stay length in emergency department, disappearance time of the ataxia symptom, the severity of the symptoms, the blood alcohol content as well as the adverse events. Methodological quality of included trials was assessed using the risk of bias tool which recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Meta-analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3 software.@*RESULTS@#Totally 141 trials with 13,901 patients were included in this review, all of them were assessed as unclear or high risk of bias. Results showed that on the basis of routine therapy, standard dose XNJ (10-20 mL) may have similar results with naloxone on the recovery time of consciousness (MD 12 min, 95% CI 7.2-17.4 min) and disappearance time of symptoms (MD 6 min, 95% CI-13.8-25.8 min) for patients with AAI. Larger dose of XNJ Injection (21-40 mL) may speed up the time (almost 1 h earlier). Combination of XNJ and naloxone seemed superior to the naloxone alone for all the relevant outcomes. The average difference of time in consciousness recovery was 2 h and the number of AAI patients whose consciousness recovery within 1 h was above 50% the combination group than in the control group (RR 1.42, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.56). No severe adverse events or adverse reactions of XNJ were reported in the included trials.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Low quality of evidence showed XNJ may have equal effect as naloxone and may achieve better effect as add-on intervention with naloxone for patients with AAI. We failed to evaluate the safety of XNJ Injection due to the insufficient evidence in this review. Registration number. in PROSPERO (No. CRD42018087804).

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of intraluminal administration of ulinastatin (a protease inhibitor) in the intestine on intestinal inflammation in rats with hemorrhagic shock.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-eight Wistar rats were randomized into control group (A), intestinal saline perfusion group (B), ulinastatin intestinal perfusion group (C), and intravenous ulinastatin injection group (D) (n=7). The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and survival time of the rats were recorded. The changes in human polymorphonuclear cell (PMN) CD11b expression were detected by flow cytometry. The leukocyte count was recorded at different time points after the treatment, and the pathology of the intestinal mucosa was observed comparatively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Groups C and D showed significantly slower reduction of the MAP than groups A and B after hemorrhagic shock (P<0.05). The survival time of the rats was the longest in group C (P<0.05). CD11b expression increased gradually during hemorrhagic shock in all the groups, but the expression level was the lowest in group C (P<0.05). Hemorrhagic shock caused a reduction in leukocyte counts, which remained the highest in group C (P<0.05). Group C also showed the least intestinal pathology among the 4 groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Intestinal perfusion of ulinastatin can lower the reduction rate of MAP, attenuate plasma activation and intestinal inflammation, and prolong the survival of rats with hemorrhagic shock. These results indicate an important role of protease in intestinal inflammation during hemorrhagic shock.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) on the incidence, severity and mortality of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A prospective, randomized controlled trial was performed involving 273 patients in the early stage of shock at risk of potential MODS development. The patients were randomly divided into EGDT group (including 139 patients managed with EGDT) and control group (including 134 patients with conventional empirical therapy). The scores of APACHE II, blood lactate concentration (Lactate(0)) and SOFA scores (SOFA(0)) of the two groups were recorded on admission, and the lactate concentration on the second and fourth day of hospitalization (Lactate(2) and Lactate(4)), and the highest SOFA scores (SOFAT) after admission were also recorded. The discrepancy between the two SOFA scores (SOFA(S)), number of the dysfunctional organ, and the mortality in ICU of the two groups were calculated at the end of the study.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of MODS in the EGDT group was significantly lower than that in control group (P=0.002). The Lactate(2), Lactate(4), SOFA(T), SOFA(S), and the number of dysfunctional organs in EGDT group were also significantly lower (P=0.045, 0.016, 0.009, 0.010, 0.002). EGDT was associated with a significantly lower total mortality rate of MODS than the conventional therapy (P=0.007), and also with a significantly lower mortality rate of MODS after controlling for severe sepsis (P=0.047 and 0.044).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>EGDT can decrease the incidence and severity of MODS, and can effectively decrease the mortality of MODS irrespective of the presence of severe sepsis.</p>
