Objective:To analyze the correlation between clinical features and prognosis or prognostic risk factors in patients with KMT2A::AFF1 gene positive B-ALL.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was conducted. 167 cases of B-ALL admitted to the Shanghai General Hospital and the Naval Medical University Affiliated First Hospital from April 1, 2011 to July 31, 2022 were divided into groups according to gene types. 22 cases with KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL were enrolled as the experimental group, 54 cases with BCR::ABL gene positive B-ALL as control group 1 and 91 cases with KMT2A::AFF1 and BCR::ABL gene negative B-All as control group 2. The median age of first diagnosis in the experimental group, control group 1 and control group 2 were 43.5(30.5, 56), 43.5(34, 55) and 32(24, 46) respectively. The median white blood cell counts of the three groups were 142.4(25.7, 247.2)×10 9/L, 37.6(15.7, 102.2)×10 9/L and 13.4(4.3, 33.0)×10 9/L, respectively. Allo-HSCT rates in three groups were 45.5%, 72.2% and 72.5% respectively. Using SPSS 26.0 software, the statistical methods of nonparametric rank sum test, chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression were used to analyze and compare the differences in clinical characteristics, chemotherapy and prognosis between the experimental group and the control groups, and to analyze the risk factors and the differences in prognosis of allo-HSCT in the experimental group. Results:The age difference between the experimental group and the control group 2 was significant ( Z=-2.151, P=0.031). The white blood cell count in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group 1 ( Z=-2.363, P=0.018) and control group 2 ( Z=-4.886, P<0.001). The rate of allo-HSCT in experimental group was lower than that in control group 1(45.5% vs 72.2%, χ 2=4.890, P=0.027) and control group 2 (45.5% vs 72.5%, χ 2=5.897, P=0.015). The remission rates of the patients in three groups after receiving one course of chemotherapy were 60%(12/20), 83.3%(45/54) and 76.6%(69/90); the remission rates after two courses of chemotherapy were 25%(5/20), 7.4%(4/54) and 12.2% (11/90), and the non-remission rates of more than two courses of treatment were 15%(3/20), 9.3%(5/54) and 11.1%(10/90), respectively. The effect of chemotherapy in experimental group was worse than that in control group 1 ( Z=-1.979, P=0.048). There was no significant difference between the three groups in sex, whether the chromosome is a standard-risk karyotype, hemoglobin at the time of initial onset, platelet count and percentage of bone marrow blast cells. The overall survival rate (OS) of experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group 1 and control group 2(23.9% vs 36.7%, χ 2=7.608, P=0.006 and 23.9% vs. 44.8%, χ 2=6.442, P=0.011), and the 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was also lower than that of the other two groups (14.0% vs 57.6%, χ 2=17.823, P<0.001 and 14.0% vs 48.2%, χ 2=16.432, P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the total OS rate between the experimental group and the group without allo-HSCT (45.0% vs 9.2%, χ 2=15.254, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that age was the risk factor of RFS in the experimental group, and allo-HSCT therapy was the protective factor of OS. Multivariate analysis showed that allo-HSCT was an independent protective factor for OS in the experimental group. Conclusions:Patients with KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL had higher white blood cells, less sensitivity to chemotherapy and poor prognosis. Age was a risk factor of RFS in KMT2A::AFF1 positive B-ALL, and allo-HSCT could improve the prognosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of CT-guided percutaneous puncture of stylomastoid foramen and radiofrequency ablation on primary hemifacial spasm. Methods Twenty-seven patients with primary hemifacial spasm, admitted to and accepted CT-guided percutaneous puncture of stylomastoid foramen and radiofrequency ablation in our hospital from August 2018 to May 2019, were chosen in our study. Clinical data and efficacy of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results All patients were punctured to the stylomastoid foramen precisely under the guidance of CT localization; 21 could detect facial muscle twitch with 0.1-0.5 mA current, and positive results were also found in 6 patients with 0.5 mA current after adjusting the position of the needle tip. After standard radio frequency ablation (mean 83.3 ℃ for 23.7 seconds), 26 patients had complete disappearance of facial spasm, but left grade II (n=18) or grade III (n=8) facial paralysis; one patient with disappearance of abnormal electromyographic response waveform as the end criterion only partially relieved, but no facial paralysis. No facial hematoma, intracranial hemorrhage, infection, or death occurred. Follow-up for 2-12 months showed no recurrence or aggravation of facial paralysis. Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous puncture of stylomastoid foramen by radio frequency ablation can effectively treat primary hemifacial spasm, but there will be mild facial paralysis.

Objective To set up a mouse model of spondyloarthritis,analyzethe clinical phenotype,radiographic and pathological features,and investigate the therapeutic effect of cysteine-rich 61 (CCN1) monoclonal antibody in spondyloarthritis mouse model.Methods Proteoglycan from bovine nasal septum was used for immunization of 14-16 week old female BALB/c mice.CCN1 monoclonal antibody 093G9 or control immunoglobulin (Ig)G were injected to the spondyloarthritis mice.The arthritis scores were analyzed by t test.Peripheral and axial joints disease development was assessed by Micro-CT and histology.Results Proteoglycan immunized mice began to develop peripheral arthritis in the 8th week.The peripheral arthritis score reached the peak (10.5±1.5) in the 11th week,with the inflammation and spur formation of the ankle and knee joint.We found infiltration of inflammation cells in intervertebral discs of the lumbar vertebrae and the caudal vertebrae.Chondrocyte proliferation couldbe seen in the meniscus of knee and lumbar intervertebral discs.In the 18th week,the intervertebral discsof thoracic vertebrae and the cervical vertebrae were also damaged.Abundant chondrocytesgathered in the intervertebra] discs.The inflammation and new bone for-marion of peripheral and axial joints were more severe in control IgG group than 093G9 group.The peripheral arthritis score in the 093G9 group decreased significantly after 2 treatments,[(2.8±1.3) vs (4.2±2.1),t=2.516,P＜0.05].The difference in arthritis scores between the two groups was the most significant after 8.treatments,[(2.0±2.0)vs (5.3±2.0),t=4.082,P＜0.01].Conclusion The mouse model of spondyloarthritissimulates human spondyloarthritis,including inflammation and new bone formation in p()gheral and axial joints.CCN1 monoclonal antibody can improve the inflammation and new bone formation inspondyloarthritis mouse model.

Objective: To explore the application and effect evaluation of the new teaching mode of medical nursing based on mobile teaching platform. Methods: Taking 110 nursing undergraduates from 2015 grade as the control group, 105 nursing undergraduates from 2016 grade were selected as the experimental group. On the basis of the traditional classroom teaching method, the "teaching online" mobile teaching platform was designed and constructed by using WeChat. At the same time, the instructors of internal science theory were invited to join the platform to simultaneously synchronize online teachers, teachers and students, and upload teaching resources. The final examination results of the two groups were compared, and the satisfaction of nursing undergraduates with the teaching of internal medicine nursing was investigated at the end of the semester, and the difference between the new teaching mode and the traditional teaching mode was demonstrated through a comparative study. At the same time, through questionnaires, we can understand the satisfaction of teachers and students in assisting teaching on mobile teaching platforms. Results: The teachers and students had a positive attitude towards the application of mobile teaching platform to assist teaching and platform functions. 6/7 of teachers and 94.3% (99/105) of students supported the promotion of this auxiliary teaching mode. All teachers and most students (92.4%, 97/105) evaluated the participation of teachers in internal medicine theory to improve the teaching effect. After the application of "teaching online" mobile teaching platform, the satisfaction of nursing undergraduates with internal medicine nursing teaching was obviously improved, the overall evaluation of teaching satisfaction in the control group and the experimental group were (4.00±0.42) and (4.83±0.42) points (t =-22.306, P<0.01). The average scores of the final exam in the experimental group (80.90±5.11) points was significantly higher than (74.86±7.37) points in the control group (t=-7.000, P<0.05). Conclusion The interdisciplinary joint teaching model based on mobile teaching platform can stimulate the students′ enthusiasm for learning and improve teaching satisfaction and learning effect.

To investigate the cellular target selectivity of small molecules targeting thioredoxin reductase 1, we reported the construction and functional research of a stable TrxR1 gene (encode thioredoxin reductase 1) knockout HCT-116 cell line. We designed and selected TrxR1 knockout sites according to the TrxR1 gene sequence and CRISPR/Cas9 target designing principles. SgRNA oligos based on the selected TrxR1 knockout sites were obtained. Next, we constructed knockout plasmid by cloning the sgRNA into the pCasCMV-Puro-U6 vector. After transfection of the plasmid into HCT-116 cells, TrxR1 knockout HCT-116 cells were selected using puromycin resistance. The TrxR1 knockout efficiency was identified and verified by DNA sequencing, immunoblotting, TRFS-green fluorescent probe, and cellular TrxR1 enzyme activity detection. Finally, the correlation between TrxR1 expression and cellular effects of drugs specifically targeting TrxR1 was investigated by CCK-8 assay. The results demonstrated that the knockout plasmid expressing the sgRNA effectively knocked-out TrxR1 gene within HCT-116 cells, and no expression of TrxR1 protein could be observed in stable TrxR1 knockout HCT-116 (HCT116-TrxR1-KO) cells. The TrxR1-targeting inhibitor auranofin did not show any inhibitory activity against either cellular TrxR1 enzyme activity or cell proliferation. Based on these results, we conclude that a stable TrxR1 gene knockout HCT-116 cell line was obtained through CRISPR/Cas9 techniques, which may facilitate investigating the role of TrxR1 in various diseases.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of long-term function of implant-supported full-arch immediate prosthesis via assessing the complications and risk factors. Methods: This historical cohort study included patients treated with implant-supported full-arch restoration under immediate loading protocol between April, 2008 to June, 2016 and wearing the immediate prosthesis for more than 6 months. Medical charts were reviewed for patients' general information, implant information, prosthetic information and details of prosthetic complications. COX proportional hazards ratio model was adopted to analyze the potential risk factors for prosthesis fracture. Results: A total of 114 patients with a mean age of (56.7±10.2) years old and 144 prostheses were included. The median wearing time of immediate prosthesis was 17.6 months. Sixty-two (54%) patients experienced prosthetic complication, 30 of them suffered more than once. Artificial teeth fractures were more common in anterior region while resin base fractured more often in the posterior region. The possibility of immediate prosthesis fracture in the first year was high but declined over the following years. COX regression analysis showed that fibre-reinforcement (HR=0.486, P=0.017) and rigid opposing dentition (HR=2.272, P=0.016) were significantly related to the prosthesis fracture. Conclusions Long-term function of implant-supported full-arch immediate prosthesis renders a high prosthetic complication prevalence, featuring the prosthesis fracture as the most common complication and the first year of highest fracture probability. Fibre-reinforced acrylic immediate prosthesis may function well in cases with a removable denture restored opposing jaw.
