Reports on the rodenticide effect of papain papaya to control rats and mice is scarce. The aim of this study was to determine pathological changes in albino mice internal organs (gaster, kidney, liver and intestine) associated with toxicity effect of papain papaya (Carica papaya L.). Seventy-eight adult BALB/c mice of both sexes were divided into 5 groups: 1 control group and 4 treatment groups that were given papain feeding block. Feed intake and mortalities have been monitored in previous study. At the end of the experimental period, tissues of mice were harvested for necropsy and histopathological examination. The abnormality of post mortem examination were hepatomegaly, gastro-intestinal bleeding. Dark discoloration was founded in liver and gaster. Histopathological changes founded in all treatment albino mice were necrosis in gaster, kidney, liver and intestine. Cloudy swelling occurred in liver and dilatation in kidney. Fatty degeneration occured in gaster, liver and intestine. In addition, the kidney and liver were congested. Feed intake of 16 to 32% papain natural rodenticide gave effect to the organs of studied mice, i.e gaster, kidney, liver and intestine.Reports on the rodenticide effect of papain papaya to control rats and mice is scarce.

Abstract
Background: Simulation-based education (SBE) with high-fidelity simulation (HFS) offers medical students early exposure to the clinical environment, allowing development of clinical scenarios and management. We hypothesized that supplementation of standard pulmonary physiology curriculum with HFS would improve the performance of first-year medical students on written tests of pulmonary physiology.Methods: This observational pilot study included SBE with three HFS scenarios of patient care that highlighted basic pulmonary physiology. First-year medical students’ test scores of their cardio-pulmonary curriculum were compared between students who participated in SBE versus only lecture-based education (LBE). A survey was administered to the SBE group to assess their perception of the HFS. Results: From a class of 188 first-year medical students, 89 (47%) participated in the SBE and the remaining 99 were considered as the LBE group. On their cardio-pulmonary curriculum test, the SBE group had a median score of 106 [IQR: 97,110] and LBE group of 99 [IQR: 89,105] (p<0.001). For the pulmonary physiology subsection, scores were also significantly different between groups (p<0.001).Conclusions: Implementation of supplemental SBE could be an adequate technique to improve learning enhancement and overall satisfaction in preclinical medical students.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to assess the prognostic factors including low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and perioperative blood transfusion for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following curative surgery. Methods: This study included 139 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy between 2005 and 2016. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify variables associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Low SMI was significantly related with poor OS, while blood transfusion had a strong impact on RFS. The male ratio and body mass index in the low SMI group were significantly higher than those in the high SMI group. There were no significant differences in age, virus etiology, laboratory data, liver function, tumor makers, and operative variables between the groups. Tumor factors such as tumor diameter, tumor number, poor differentiation, and intrahepatic metastasis (IM) did not significantly differ between the two groups. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, and recurrence ratio were significantly higher in the blood transfusion group than in the non-transfusion group. IM was associated with poor OS and RFS.Conclusions: Low SMI and blood transfusion were independently related with long-term prognosis in patients with HCC following curative surgery.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to translate the English version of the supportive care needs scale of head and neck cancer patients (SCNS-HNC) questionnaire into Mandarin and to test the reliability and validity of the SCNS-SF34 and SCNS-HNC module in head and neck cancer patients.
Methods: The Mandarin version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short-Form (SCNS-SF34) and SCNS-HNC scales were used to assess 206 patients with head and neck cancer in Chengdu, China. Among them, 51 patients were re-tested 2 or 3 days after the first survey. The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the retest reliability of the scale was evaluated by retest correlation coefficient r, the structural validity of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis, and the ceiling and floor effects of the scale were evaluated.
Results: The Mandarin version of the SCNS-HNC had Cronbach's alpha coefficients greater than 0.700 (0.737 ≤ 0.962) for all of the domains. Except for the psychological demand dimension (r=0.674) of the SCNS-SF34 scale, the retest reliability of the other domains was greater than 0.8. Three common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.39%.
Conclusions: The Mandarin version of the SCNS-SF34 and SCNS-HNC demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity and is able to measure the supportive care needs of Chinese patients with head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Background: Medicine is a field that is simultaneously factual and ambiguous. Medical students have their first exposure to full time clinical practice during clerkship. While studies have examined medical trainees’ tolerance of ambiguity (TOA), the extent to which TOA is affected by clinical experiences and its association with perfectionism is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of clerkship experience on TOA and perfectionism in medical students.Methods: This was a multiple sampling, single cohort study of students in their first year of clinical clerkship which is comprised of 6 core rotations. Consenting students completed an online anonymous survey assessing their tolerance of ambiguity (TOA) and perfectionism in their first (pre) and last (post) 12 weeks of their clinical clerkship year. Tolerance of Ambiguity in Medical Students and Doctors (TAMSAD) and The Big Three perfectionism scale-short form (BTPS-SF) were used to assess TOA and perfectionism respectively. Pre-Post mean comparisons of TOA and perfectionism were assessed via t-tests. Results: From a total possible sample of 174 clinical clerkship students, 51 students responded to pre-survey, 62 responded to post-survey. Clerkship was associated with a significant decrease in TOA (p<0.00) with mean pre-TOA scores of 59.57 and post TOA of 43.8. Perfectionism scores were not significantly different over time (p>0.05). There was a moderate inverse correlation between TOA and perfectionism before clerkship (r=0.32) that increased slightly after clerkship (r=0.39). Those preferring primary care specialties had significantly lower rigid and total perfectionism scores in pre-clerkship than those choosing other specialties, but this difference was not found post-clerkship.Conclusion: Exposure to clerkship decreased TOA while perfectionism remained stable in medical students. We discuss these findings in the context of an underlying anxiety cycle related to frequent rotation changes. Implications of the role of perfectionism and primary care is discussed. Overall these results require further investigation to better characterize the role of clinical exposure on TOA.

Abstract
Background: We investigated the correlations between surgery-related factors and the incidence of leakage after low anterior resection (LAR) for lower rectal cancer.Methods: A total of 630 patients underwent colorectal surgery between 2011 and 2014 in our department. Of these, 97 patients (15%) underwent LAR and were included in this retrospective study. Temporary ileostomy was performed in each patient.Results: Anastomotic leakage occurred in 21 patients (21.7%). Univariate analysis showed that operative duration (p=0.005), transanal hand-sewn anastomosis (p=0.014), and operation procedure (p=0.019) were significantly associated with the occurrence of leakage. Multivariate analysis showed that underlying disease (p=0.044), transanal hand-sewn anastomosis (p=0.019) and drain type (p=0.025) were significantly associated with the occurrence of leakage. Propensity-score analysis showed that closed drainage were 6.3 times more likely to have anastomotic leakage than open drainage in relation to the amount of postoperative drainage (ml), according to inverse probability of treatment-weighted analysis.Conclusions: Our results indicate that underlying disease, transanal hand-sewn anastomosis, and closed drain may be risk factors for anastomotic leakage after LAR for lower rectal cancer. The notable finding was that closed drainage was related to the occurrence of anastomotic leakage and closed drainage was correlated with the less volume of postoperative drain discharge than open drain.

Abstract
Objective: The role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) species in tuberculosis (TB) infection in human is still questioned. The aim of this study was to determine whether M. tuberculosis and M. bovis is associated with apoptosis and necroptosis by measuring the expression of specific signaling pathways components (Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and receptor interacting protein 3 (RIP3)), and the level of apoptosis. Results: We recruited 30 patients with pulmonary TB; 24 patients were infected with M. tuberculosis Beijing strain and six patients with M. bovis BCG strain. M. tuberculosis-infected patients were more likely to have severe lung damage compared to those infected with M. bovis (odds ratio [OR]: 7.60; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-54.09). M. tuberculosis infection was associated with lower expression of FADD and lower apoptosis level of macrophages compared to M. bovis. No significant different of RIP3 between MTBC species groups. In conclusion, M. tuberculosis Beijing strain was associated with severe pulmonary damage, inhibited FADD expression and reduced apoptosis level of macrophages derived from pulmonary TB patients. This suggests that the M. tuberculosis Beijing strain is potentially to be used as determinant of disease progressivity and tissue damage in TB cases.

Abstract
Background: Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare synovial disease with benign hyperplasia, which has been successfully treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the middle-term follow-up outcomes of cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA in patients with PVNS.Methods: From January 2012 to December 2014, a retrospective study was conducted in 17 patients with PVNS who underwent CR TKA as PVNS group. During this period, we also selected 68 patients with osteoarthritis who underwent CR TKA (control group) for comparison. The two groups matched in a 1:4 ratio based on age, sex, body mass index and follow-up time. The range of motion, Knee Society Score, revision rate, disease recurrence, wound complications and the survivorship curve of Kaplan-Meier implant were assessed between the two groups.Results: All patients were followed up at least five years. There were no difference in range of motion, and Knee Society Score between the two groups before surgery and at last follow-up after surgery (p > 0.05). In the PVNS group, no patients with the recurrence of PVNS were found at the last follow-up, one patient underwent revision surgery due to periprosthetic fracture, and three patients had stiffness one year after surgery (17.6% vs 1.5%, p = 0.005; ROM:16°- 81°), but no revision was needed. At seven years, the implant survivorship was 90.0% in the PVNS group and 96.6% in the control group (p = 0.54).Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the function of patients with PVNS who underwent CR TKA had been significantly improved, and the survival rate of implants in these patients were similar to the patients with OA. Consequently, the patients with PVNS who underwent CR TKA might be an achievable option. However, these patients should pay more attention to the occurrence of postoperative stiffness complication.

Abstract
Background: The effect of donor lung pathogenic bacteria on the prognosis of lung transplantation is not clear. We used the technique of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect the pathogenic bacteria from the lower respiratory tract and analyzed whether the colonized bacteria of donor lung could affect the outcomes of lung transplantation.Methods: All patients who underwent lung transplantation from March 2018 to June 2018 at Wuxi People's Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were included in this study. Twelve cases of donor lung were obtained, and 17 lung transplants were performed, including 12 single lung transplantation and 5 bilateral lung transplantation. The colonized bacteria in the lower lobe tissue of donor lung were detected by NGS, and the bacteria culture method was used to detect the bacteria in the airway secretion before and after the operation. The information of length of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, mechanical ventilation time, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, duration of fever and length of hospital stay were collected for prognostic analysis.Results: Compared with bacterial culture methods, the positive rate by using NGS in the lungs were higher (52.9% vs 41.2%). Among the patients who had detected bacteria by NGS in donor lungs before surgery, only one patient (1/9) developed the same bacteria after lung transplantation. Based on results of NGS and bacterial culture, there is no association between the colonized bacteria in donor lungs and the patient outcomes of immediate posttransplant period. Conclusion: NGS showed more sensitive than bacterial culture for detection of bacteria. The colonized bacteria in different parts of the lung are inconsistent. There is no association between the colonized bacteria in donor lungs and short-term outcome of lung transplantation patients.

Abstract
BackgroundMost trauma patients admitted to the hospital alive and die later on, decease during the initial care in the emergency department or the intensive care unit (ICU). However, a number of patients pass away after having been discharged from the ICU during the initial hospital stay. On first sight these cases could be seen as “failure to rescue” of potentially salvageable patients. A low rate of such patients might be a potential indicator of quality for trauma care on ICUs and surgical wards.MethodsRetrospective analysis of the TraumaRegister DGU® with data from 2015-2017. Patients that died during the initial ICU stay were compared to those who were discharged from the initial ICU stay for at least 24 hours but died later on.ResultsA total of 82,313 trauma patients were included in the TraumaRegister DGU®. In total, 6,576 patients (8.0%) died during their hospital stay. Out of those, 5,481 were admitted to the ICU alive and 972 patients (17.7%) were discharged from ICU and died later on. Those were older (mean age: 77 vs. 68 years), less severely injured (mean ISS: 23.1 vs. 30.0 points) and had a longer mean ICU length of stay (10 vs. 6 days). A limitation of life-sustaining therapy due to a documented living will was present in 46.1% of all patients who died during their initial ICU stay and in 59.9% of patients who died after discharge from their initial ICU stay.Conclusions17.7% of all non-surviving severely injured trauma patients died within the hospital after discharge from their initial ICU treatment. Their death can partially be explained by a limitation of therapy due to a living will. In conclusion, the rate of such late deaths may represent patients that died of potentially avoidable or treatable complications.

Abstract
Background: Hypotension following spinal anesthesia (SA) during cesarean delivery (CD) occurs commonly and is related with maternal and fetal complications. Norepinephrine infusion is increasingly used for prevention of post-SA hypotension; however, its effects as compared to the traditional phenylephrine infusion remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects of phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as continuous infusion during elective CD on maternal hemodynamic parameters and maternal and fetal outcomes.Methods: This prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled study included 238 consecutive term parturients who underwent CD from February 2019 to October 2019. They were randomized to receive continuous infusion of 0.25 μg/kg/min phenylephrine, 0.05 μg/kg/min norepinephrine, or placebo. Hemodynamic monitoring was performed at 10 time points using LiDCOrapid. We analyzed umbilical vein (UV), umbilical artery (UA), and peripheral vein (PV) blood gas indexes and recorded intraoperative complications.Results: In phenylephrine group, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) remain during the whole operation. Compared to the control group, phenylephrine, but not norepinephrine, significantly increased the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) to counteract the SA-induced vasodilatation, 3 min following norepinephrine/phenylephrine/LR administration (T4): 957.4±590.3 vs 590.1±273.7 (P<0.000001); 5 min following norepinephrine/phenylephrine/LR administration (T5): 1104±468.0 vs 789.4±376.2 (P=0.000002). at the time of incision (T6): 1084±524.8 vs 825.2± 428.6 (P=0.000188). Parturients in the phenylephrine group had significantly lower UV (1.91±0.43) (P=0.0003) and UA (2.05±0.61) (P=0.0038) lactate level compared to controls. Moreover, the UV pH value was higher in the phenylephrine than in the control group7.37±0.03(P=0.0013). Parturients had lower incidence of nausea, tachycardia, hypotension in phenylephrine group.Conclusions: In this dataset, continuous phenylephrine infusion reduced the incidence of SA-induced hypotension, ameliorated SVR, while decreasing overall maternal complications. Phenylephrine infusions are considered the better choice during CD because of the significant benefit to the fetus.Trial registration: Clinicaltrial.gov Registry, NCT03833895, Registered on 1 February 2019.
