BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)has been a longstanding *** prognosis of patients with PDAC depends on the stage at *** is necessary to identify biomarkers for the detection and differentiation of pancreatic tumors and optimize PDAC sample preparation procedures for DNA and RNA *** molecular studies are done using paraffin-embedded blocks;however,the integrity of DNA and RNA is often compromised in this ***,RNA isolated from human pancreatic tissue samples is generally of low quality,in part,because of the high concentration of endogenous pancreatic RNAse activity *** To assess the potential of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration(EUS-FNA)to obtain specimens from pancreatic neoplasms for subsequent RNA molecular profiling,including next-generation sequencing(NGS).METHODS Thirty-four EUS-FNA samples were included in this study:PDAC(n=15),chronic pancreatitis(n=5),pancreatic cysts(n=14),mucinous cysts(mucinous cystic neoplasia/intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia)n=7,serous cystic neoplasms n=5,and pseudocysts n=*** material consisted of cyst fluid and cyst wall samples obtained by through-the-needle biopsy(TTNB).Samples were stored at -80℃ until *** purity(A260/230,A260/280 ratios),concentration,and integrity(RIN)were ***-time polymerase chain reaction was conducted on all samples,and small RNA libraries were prepared from solid mass *** RNA was successfully extracted from 29/34(85%)EUS-FNA samples:100% pancreatic adenocarcinoma samples,100% chronic pancreatitis samples,70% pancreatic fluid cyst samples,and 50%TTNB *** relative expression of GAPDH and HPRT were obtained for all successfully extracted RNA samples(n=29)including lowquality RNA *** concentration and nonoptimal RIN values(no less than 3)of RNA extracted from EUS-FNA samples did not prevent NGS library *** suitability of cyst fluid samples

Chronic hepatitis B(CHB)is a significant public health problem *** aim of the present review is to summarize the actual trends in the management of CHB in pregnant *** prevalence of hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection in pregnant women is usually comparable to that in the general population in the corresponding geographic *** women have to be screened for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)during *** examinations of pregnant women with CHB may include maternal hepatitis B e antigen,HBV viral load,alanine aminotransferase level,and HBsAg *** management of pregnancy depends on the phase of the HBV infection,which has to be determined before *** women of childbearing age with CHB,antiviral therapy can pursue two main goals:Treatment of active CHB,and vertical transmission *** pregnancy,tenofovir is the drug of choice in both cases.A combination of hepatitis B immunoglobulin and vaccine against hepatitis B should be administered within the first 12 h to all infants born to mothers with *** such cases,there are no contraindications to breastfeeding.

BACKGROUND Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is a multifactorial disease that predominantly affects premature *** dysbiosis plays a critical role in NEC pathogenesis in premature *** main risk factor for NEC in term infants is mesenteric hypoperfusion associated with ductaldependent congenital heart disease(CHD)that eventually leads to intestinal *** incidence of NEC in neonates with critical CHD is 6.8%-13%.However,the role of the intestinal microbiome in NEC pathogenesis in infants with ductal-dependent CHD remains *** SUMMARY A male term neonate with right atrial isomerism underwent modified Blalock-Taussig shunt placement on the 14^(th)day of life and had persistent mesenteric hypoperfusion after *** patient had episodes of NEC stageⅡA on the 1^(st)and 28^(th)days after cardiac *** microbial composition was analyzed before and after cardiac surgery by sequencing region V4 of the 16S rRNA *** surgery,species belonging to genera Veillonella and Clostridia and class Gammaproteobacteria were detected,Bifidobacteriaceae showed a low *** first NEC episode was associated with postoperative hemodynamic instability,intestinal ischemiareperfusion injury during cardiopulmonary bypass,and a high abundance of Clostridium paraputrificum(Clostridium sensu stricto I)(56.1%).Antibacterial therapy after the first NEC episode resulted in increased abundance of Gammaproteobacteria,decreased abundance of Firmicutes,and low alpha *** changes in the microbial composition promoted the growth of Clostridium sensu strictoⅠ(72.0%)before the second NEC *** A high abundance of Clostridium sensu strictoⅠand mesenteric hypoperfusion may have contributed to NEC in the present case.
