Objective To investigate the expression of phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) and phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (p-4EBP1) in pathologic scar,and comprehend its role and significance in the pathologic scar formation.Methods SP immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of p-mTOR and p-4EBP1 in 20 cases of keloid,20 cases of hypertrophic scar,20 cases of non-pathologic scar and 20 cases of normal skin tissue.The positive rates of expression in different tissues were analyzed,and the relationship in pathological scar was explored.Results The positive rates of p-mTOR and p-4EBP1 in keloidand hypertrophic scar were 75.0% (15/20),60.0% (12/20) and 60.0% (12/20),50.0% (10/20),nom-pathologic scars were 20% (4/20),10% (2/20);normal skin tissue were 10% (2/20),5% (1/20),which were higher respectively compared with the two control groups (P< 0.05);there was a highly positive correlation between p-mTOR and p-4EBP1 expression in pathologic scar (r=0.323,P<0.05).Conclusions p-mTOR and p-4EBP1 might be involved and cooperated in promoting the progress of pathologic scars.

Objective To explore the clinical experience and surgical method of the repairment of frontal plantar tissue defects by using "tennis racket"-like flap with the medial plantar retrograde,and to study the reliability in the clinical application of the medial plantar retrograde flap.Methods From June 2011 to June 2016,"tennis racket"-like flap with the medial plantar retrograde was used to repair the frontal plantar tissue defects in 10 cases.The cutting range of flap was from 3.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 8.0 cm x 4.0 cm in size;in all patients the donor area was covered by skin grafts.Results All flaps survived and wounds healed by first intention.In 10 patients the donor sites healed primarily with a straight scar,and the appearance and texture of the flaps were satisfactory.All patients were followed up from 6 to 24 months (mean 12 months).According to the Chinese foot function evaluation standard trial evaluation,the outcomes were excellent in 9 cases,good in 7 cases,and medium in 2 cases.Conclusions "Tennis racket"-like flap with the medial plantar retrograde is less anatomic variation with reliable blood supply,and sensory recovery is quick;the donor site is a small crater and cicatrial contractures are light;the cost is low.All patients are treated on one session and therefore it is an ideal method for the repairment of frontal plantar tissue defects.

Objective:To investigate the theoretical knowledge level of clinical nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing in secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province, so as to provide the basis for departments to carry out specialized training and improve the quality of enterostomy special nursing.Methods:On the basis of literature review and expert letter consultation, enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was formed, including the dimensions of enterostomy special nursing and patient health education. Using the convenient sampling method, clinical nurses who engaged in enterostomy-related nursing work in 39 secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from February to May 2019. The enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was used to investigate enterostomy specialized knowledge of nurses, and their scores were analyzed by single factor analysis. In this study, a total of 420 tests were issued and 382 valid tests were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.95%.Results:The total score of the enterostomy knowledge test of 382 nurses was (65.80±13.84) , the total score of enterostomy special nursing dimension was (32.17±7.12) , and the total score of patient health education dimension was (33.64±7.66) . 62.83% (240/382) of nurses basically mastered the knowledge of enterostomy. In the enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses, the error rates of prevention and identification of complications, management of complications and clinical selection and application of stoma bag were relatively high. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of the enterostomy knowledge test among nurses of different hospital levels, highest educational background, technical title, working time limit and the time limit of engaging in enterostomy nursing work ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Professional nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing do not have a comprehensive grasp of enterostomy related knowledge, so the departments should pay more attention to special nursing training of enterostomy and improve overall level of enterostomy nursing in the department.

Objective Discuss the safety and effectiveness of flow diverter device and traditional stent inthetreatment of unruptured ophthalmic segment aneurysms.Methods A retrospective analysis from January 2017 to January 2023 was performed on the clinical data of 70 cases of unruptured aneurysms in the Department of Neurosurgery of Southern Theater General Hospital treated with stent-assisted embolization.According to the type of implanted stents,theywere divided into flow diverter device group(n = 21)and traditional stent group(n = 49),and the postoperative clinical effects and complications of the two groups were compared.Results The two groups of patients followed 3 to 24 months,with an average of(14.4±1.82)months.The results of periopera-tive and follow-up showed that the inclusion rate was higher in the flow diverter device group and the traditional stent group(93.3%vs.87.9%),with no significant difference(P>0.05),and the incidence of perioperative and short-term complications was lower(0 vs.6.1%)in the flow diverter device group than in the traditional stent group,and there currencies rate in the flow diverter device group was lower than that in the traditional stent group(0 vs.6.1%),but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Flow diverter devices and traditional stents in the treatment of unruptured ophthalmic segment aneurysmsare feasible,safe and effective.Preliminary results suggest that the incidence of short-term complications and retreatment is lower after treatment with flow diverter devices,and the operation time is short,but further studies are needed to validate long-term complica-tions in patients.

Objective:To establish a prediction model for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (SRP) after radiotherapy for thoracic cancer based on a longitudinal cohort and dose interval variations.Methods:Clinical data of 587 patients who received thoracic radiotherapy in Department of Radiotherapy of Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0 was used to grade radiation pneumonitis, and clinical factors, traditional independent dosimetric characteristics and dose interval variation characteristics were collected. Features used to predict the occurrence of SRP were screened using genetic algorithms and analyzed the correlation between the selected features and SRP occurrence. Predictive models for SRP occurrence were established using the selected features and evaluated, and the optimal predictive model was visualized using a column chart.Results:The incidence of SRP was 35.94%. Five clinical factors, seven independent dosimetric features and six dose interval variation features were screened out by genetic algorithms to effectively predict the occurrence of SRP. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of clinical factors combined with traditional independent dosimetric factors and dose interval variation factors was 76%. The AUC of clinical factors combined with traditional independent dosimetric factors and that of clinical factors combined with dose interval variation factors was 69% and 67%, respectively. The addition of the characteristics of dose interval variation factors significantly improved the effectiveness of the prediction model.Conclusions:The supplement of the characteristics of dose interval variation factors can significantly improve the performance of the SRP prediction model for thoracic tumors after radiotherapy. The SRP prediction model based on dose interval variations can effectively predict the occurrence of SRP.
