Objective To make sciatic nerve traction injury models of rabbit , in order to prospectively evaluate possibility and accuracy of diffusion tensor tracking (DTT) in sciatic nerve injures. Methods The right sciatic nerves of 32 New Zealand white rabbits were selected for traction injury , and the left sciatic nerves were the sham operation side. DTI scan was performed before and after the operation on 1st day , 3rd day, and 1 week, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8th week respectively, and DTT was reconstructed. Then the length of reconstructed fiber tracts and fiber density index were calculated. After the MRI scan , the sciatic nerve was removed to perform pathologic examination at different time points. Results The difference of the length of reconstructed fiber tracts between nerve traction injury and sham operation side was significant at 1 day~2weeks after operation (P<0.05), while the difference was not significant at 3~8 weeks.The fiber density index of nerve traction injury and sham operation side was significantly different at 1 day~8 weeks(P<0.05). 1day after operation, myelin sheath of traction portion was obviously twisting. 3 days after operation , a large amount of myelin sheath broke down. 2 weeks after operation , axon, myelin sheath degeneration and regeneration coexisted at the same time. 8 weeks after operation , nerve fibers regenerated and restored to normal structure. Conclusion The length time curve and density index-time curve of nerve traction injury are consistent with the changes of pathology , which can be used as a supplementary method to evaluate the degeneration and regeneration in nerve injury.

Objective:To develop and evaluate a nomogram prediction model for poor outcome in patients with minor acute ischemic stroke (MIS) at 90 days after onset.Methods:Patients with MIS admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively enrolled. At 90 days after onset, the modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome evaluation. <2 points were defined as good outcome and ≥2 points were defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for poor outcome, and a nomogram prediction model was developed based on these factors. Results:A total of 177 patients with MIS were included, of which 61 (34.46%) had poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (odds ratio [ OR] 3.484, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.378-8.810; P=0.008), diabetes ( OR 2.936, 95% CI 1.301-6.625; P=0.009), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission ( OR 2.936, 95% CI 1.027-1.709; P=0.031) and systolic blood pressure at admission ( OR 1.083, 95% CI 1.053-1.115; P<0.001) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome. The established nomogram prediction model had a C-index of 0.828 and the area under the curve was 0.841 (95% CI 0.778-0.891). The calibration curve fitted well with the ideal curve. The clinical decision curve showed that the model had stronger clinical applicability. Conclusions:Hypertension, diabetes, NIHSS score and systolic blood pressure at admission are independent risk factors for poor outcome of patients with MIS. The nomogram based on the above factors has higher discriminative power and clinical value for predicting poor outcome in patients with MIS.

Acute leukemias caused by mixed lineage leukemia(MLL)gene rearrangements(MLL-r)are characterized by high invasiveness and a poor prognosis,with few specific treatment options available.MLL protein is essential in embryonic development and hematopoiesis.It exhibits histone methyltransferase activity and can interact with various proteins through its functional domains,thus regulating downstream target gene expression through epigenetic modifications.MLL-r leads to the formation of MLL fusion proteins(MLL-FPs),in which the C-terminal is replaced by fusion partner proteins;over 100 such partner proteins have been identified to date.In numerous studies of the molecular mechanism,Menin serves as an important cofacter in the leukemogenesis of MLL-FPs and participates in forming the key complex when interacting with the N terminal of MLL protein,resulting in the disregulation of certain targeted genes,which makes the development of Menin-MLL inhibitors theoretically possible.To date,several small molecules have been identified that inhibit Menin-MLL interaction,including thienopyrimidine derivatives,piperidine derivatives,pyrimidine derivatives,and macrocyclic mimic peptides.Based on these prototypes,at least seven drugs are currently undergoing clinical evaluation,with some promising preliminary data regarding safety,tolerability,and efficacy.This review summarizes the structure and function of MLL,the mechanism of the occurrence of MLL-r leukemia,and current Menin-MLL inhibitors tested in MLL-r leukemia.

Objective:To investigate basic public health service personnel allocation in five regions of Guizhou province, providing reference and strategies for the construction of grass-roots disease prevention and control system in Guizhou province and the training of grass-roots public health service talents in colleges and universities.Methods:According to the topographical features of Guizhou province, stratified random sampling was completed in five regions including Guiyang, Zunyi, Liupanshui, Qianxinan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Questionnaires and on-the-spot symposiums were conducted among basic public health service personnel from 20 township health centers and 20 community health service centers.Results:Women (82.7%), 25-35 years of age (41.7%), working years < 5 years (65.7%), and junior professional titles (59.7%) accounted for a higher proportion of the staff in the five regions. Basic public health service personnel in Guiyang had the highest percentage of undergraduate education (47.5%) and those in other regions had the highest percentage of a junior college education. 40.3% and 26.4% of basic public health service personnel were devoted to nursing and clinical specialties, and only 3.2% of basic public health service personnel were devoted to general practice and preventive medicine. The number of public health practitioners (assistants) per 10,000 residents was 0.05, and 43.5% of public health practitioners had multiple duties.Conclusion:The professional structure of public health personnel is not reasonable at the grass-roots level in Guizhou province. There is an extreme shortage of public health practitioners (assistants), the professional title is low, staffing is inadequate, and staff loss is serious.
