Objective: To investigate the species, concentration and seasonal trends of main airborne allergenic pollen in 4 districts and 5 counties of Hohhot City. Methods: The Department of allergy, Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University conducted a cross-sectional study about monitoring the airborne allergenic pollen from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 by the gravitational method in 4 districts and 5 counties of Hohhot City, which include Yuquan District, Xincheng District, Huimin District, Saihan District, Tuoketuo County, Helingeer County, Tumotezuoqi County, Wuchuan County and Qingshuihe County. Daily pollens were counted and identified by optical microscopy, and the data were analyzed. Results: The airborne allergenic pollen was collected every month all year round in 4 districts and 5 counties of Hohhot city. Through the whole year of the total quantity of pollens ranged from 24 850 to 50 154 grains per 1 000 mm2 and two peaks of pollen concentration in air were observed,which happened in spring (from March to May) and in summer and autumn (from July to September). In spring, the main pollens were tree pollens, which principally distributed in Populus pollen (18.29%), Ulmus pollen (8.36%), Pinus pollen (6.20%), Cupressaceae pollen (5.23%), Betulaceae pollen (2.73%), Salix pollen (1.80%) and Quercus pollen (1.16%). In summer and autumn, the main pollens were weed pollens, which mainly included Artemisia pollen (42.73%), Chenopodiaceae pollen or Amaranthaceae pollen (7.46%), Poaceae pollen (2.26%), Humulus pollen or Cannabis pollen (0.60%). Conclusion: There were two peaks of main airborne allergenic pollen in 4 districts and 5 counties of Hohhot City. In the spring peak of pollen, the main airborne pollens were tree pollens. In the summer and autumn peak of pollen, the main airborne pollens were weed pollens. The Artemisia pollen was the most major airborne pollen in this area.

OBJECTIVES@#This study was performed to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of dental zirconia manufactured by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing and the clinical application prospects of this material.@*METHODS@#The experiment (DLP) group was zirconia manufactured by DLP 3D printing, and the control (MILL) group was milled zirconia. The density, grain size, and phase composition were measured to study the microstructure. Flexural strength was measured by using three-point bending tests, while Vickers hardness was determined through a Vickers hardness tester. Fracture toughness was tested using the single-edge V-notched beam method.@*RESULTS@#Zirconia density of the DLP group was (6.019 8±0.021 3) g·cm@*CONCLUSIONS@#Zirconia manufactured by DLP 3D printing had microstructure and mechanical properties similar to those of the milled zirconia. Only the flexural strength and the Vickers hardness of the experimental zirconia were slightly lower than those of the milled zirconia. Therefore, DLP-manufactured zirconia has a promising future for clinical use.

Hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm with hemobilia occurs less frequently as a complication of minilaparotomy cholecystectomy than laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, given its severe nature, it needs to be managed promptly. This report presents a case of right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm with hemobilia in a 36-year-old woman who underwent minilaparotomy cholecystectomy 5 weeks earlier. Angiography with embolization was carried out as definitive treatment

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether CK20 mRNA expression level could be considered as an effective molecular indicator for evaluation of chemotherapy sensitivity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>All samples of peripheral blood were taken from 31 gastric cancer patients undergone radical operation a week before postoperative chemotherapy, at the first day of chemotherapy point, and after the first cycle of chemotherapy respectively, and subjected to FQ RT-PCR assay for CK20 mRNA. The chemotherapy scheme was FOLFOX 4. The control group was 15 healthy volunteers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Aomng the 31 gastric cancer patients, the value of CK20 mRNA before postoperative chemotherapy was increased (2.96+/-2.27 vs 2.22+/-2.12, t=2.10, P<0.05) in 25 positive cases, and then declined after chemotherapy(2.05+/-1.86 vs 2.96+/-2.27, t=2.50, P<0.05) in 24 positive cases. The expression level of CK20 mRNA in patients before chemotherapy was increased in 16 cases(51.6%), declined in 9 cases(29.0%) and stabilized as negative in 6 cases(19.4%). After chemotherapy the level of CK20 mRNA was increased in 7 cases(22.6%), declined in 17 cases (54.8%) and stabilized as negative in 7 cases(22.6%), there was significant difference between the two groups(chi(2)=6.06, P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression level of CK20 mRNA in the peripheral blood detected by FQ RT-PCR in patients with gastric cancer declines after postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Different individuals have different sensitivity to chemotherapeutics. Dynamic monitoring CK20 mRNA should be considered as an effective index to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.</p>
