Objective To investigate the expression of cystein rich 61 (Cyr61) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in different stages of multiple myeloma (MM) patients,evaluate their relationship with angiogenesis and prognosis,and to determine the relationship between Cyr61 and VEGF.Methods Expression of Cyr61 and VEGF in BMMNC from 31 patients with different stages of MM and 10 cases of control were detected by RT-PCR.Results Expression of Cyr61 and VEGF in patients with MM (0.3652±1.5423,0.4815±1.3423) were significantly elevated in comparison to control (0.1862±0.7542,0.2012±1.2331) (P < 0.05,P < 0.01).Expression of Cyr61 and VEGF in stage Ⅲ (0.4632±0.1634,0.5356± 0.2342) was significantly higher than those in stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ (t =2.423,2.524,P < 0.05),but there was no difference between stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ (0.2513±0.1365,0.3064±0.2124; 0.3084±0.2254,0.3653±0.1265) (t =1.782,1.824,P > 0.05).The levels of Cyr61 and VEGF were significantly decreased after chemotherapy compared to before chemotherapy (P < 0.01).Expression of Cyr61 and VEGF were positively correlated (r =0.8941,P < 0.01).Conclusion Cyr61 and VEGF may play roles in the angiogenesis and pathophysiology of MM.It can be used to guide treatment and estimate prognosis by monitoring Cyr61 and VEGF.

Objective To observe the expression of FGF19 (fibroblast growth factor 19) and PEDF (pigment epithelium-derived factor) in the serum of type 2 diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients and discuss their significance.Methods Total 89 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected and divided into two groups according to whether they were combined with diabetic retinopathy:45 patients with type 2 diabetes alone (DM group) and 44 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with retinopathy (DR group).At the same time,40 healthy people were selected as the control group (NDM group).The serum levels of FGF19 and PEDF and their biochemical indexes were detected and compared in each group.The correlation between the indexes and the relationship between FGF19,PEDF and DR were analyzed.Results Compared with NDM group,serum FGF19 level in DM group and DR group decreased,while C-reactive protein (CRP) and PEDF level in DM group and DR group increased (P < 0.05);serum FGF19 level in DR group was lower than that inDMgroup,while serum PEDF level was higher than that in DM group (P <0.05).The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin levels (FINS),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),total cholesterol (TC),high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) in DM and DR groups were higher than those in NDM group (P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between DM group and DR group (P > 0.05);the levels of Hcy,triacylglycerol (TG) and CRP in DR group were higher than those in DM and NDM group (P < 0.05),and the levels of VLDL were lower than those in DM and NDM group (P < 0.05).The level of serum FGF19 was positively correlated with HDL and CRP in patients with DR (r =0.341,0.623,P < 0.05),and negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose(r =-0.428,P <0.05);The level of serum PEDF in patients with DR were negatively correlated with FINS (r =-0.343,P <0.05).When the serum level of PEDF > 12.76 mg/L,the sensitivity and specificity of PEDF dignosing DR were 80.9% and 56.7% respectively.Conclusions In patients with DR,serum FGF19 level decreased and serum PEDF levels increased.The level of both changes is closely related to DR and may be involved in the development of DR.

【Objective】 To establish strategies for preventing and managing hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, in order to provide a clinical practice basis for reducing the incidence of hypoglycemia and optimizing comprehensive blood sugar management. 【Methods】 All domestic and foreign evidence on the prevention and management of hypoglycemia in children was retrieved until August 2023, including clinical practice guidelines, evidence summaries, best practice information books, expert consensus, systematic reviews, and original studies. 【Results】 This study included 9 articles, comprising 3 practical guidelines, 4 expert consensus articles, 1 clinical decision, and 1 evidence summary, covering 9 aspects ranging from hypoglycemia identification, risk factors, blood sugar monitoring, insulin treatment plans, health education, diet, exercise, and psychological support. It presents a total of 34 pieces of evidence, synthesizing the best evidence from both domestic and international sources on hypoglycemia prevention strategies for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. 【Conclusion】 Based on the latest evidence from domestic and global sources, this study systematically illustrates prevention strategies for hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, providing comprehensive evidence and a reliable theoretical basis for raising clinical caregivers′ awareness of hypoglycemia prevention, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia occurrence, and constructing a systematic hypoglycemia prevention and control strategy.

This paper presents a systematic review of extant research investigating the effectiveness of Internet-based group cognitive behavioral therapy (IGCBT) for depression and anxiety symptoms with an emphasis on the treatment modalities, treatment protocols, efficacy and mechanism, together with a summary of research limitations and suggestions for future research. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, short-term and present-oriented psychotherapeutic treatment, its Internet- and group-delivered modalities have led to its wider application, and has proven to be clinically effective in alleviating depression and anxiety symptoms caused by different diseases, whereas some drawbacks have been reported. Thus this paper elaborates the clinical application, therapeutic effect and underlying mechanisms of IGCBT intervention for depression and anxiety symptoms, so as to provide references for its future application.

Objective:
To analyze the status of domestic surgical treatment of synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer in China.
Methods:
Clinicopathological data of patients who underwent surgery from October 2003 to October 2018 in 16 domestic medical centers was retrospectively analyzed. Excel database was created which covered 77 fields of 7 parts: baseline information of patients, laboratory tests, imaging tests, chemoradiotherapy information, intra-operative findings, postoperative pathology and follow-up data. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of the measurement data between groups. The χ2 test was used for comparison of the categorical data between groups. The survival curve was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results:
Of the 1 003 patients, there were 575 male and 428 female patients with the age of (58.5±14.1) years (range: 18 to 92 years). In a total of 920 patients, the carcinoma of sigmoid colon was performed in 292 cases (31.8%) with the highest ratio. The proportion of patients with liver metastasis and lung metastasis were 27.9% (219/784) and 8.3% (64/769). Preoperative detection of carcino-embryonic antigen level was the most common method in China (87.74%, 880/1 003), and the positive rate was 64.5% (568/880). The correct rate of preoperative imaging tests was 40.7% (280/688). The ratio of peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) scores between 0 and 10 was the highest (59.6%, 170/285). Two hundred and sixty-two (27.0%) patients were performed by totally laparoscopic operation in 971 patients. The resection of primary tumor was performed in 588 of the 817 patients (72.0%). In a total of 457 cases, 253 (55.4%) patients were performed cytoreduction which group scored completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) 0. The postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was implemented in 70 of the 334 cases (21.0%). Among 1 003 cases, 562 cases (56.03%) had complete follow-up data and the median overall survival was 15 months. The primary tumor resection and the CCR scores were affected by the PCI scores. The patients underwent primary tumor resection (187/205
