BACKGROUND:
The phenotype maintenance of diced cartilage is a very important factor to reduce cartilage absorption rate in augmentation rhinoplasty. A novel method which combined diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel may have potentially good performance in phenotype maintenance, and is worth exploring.
METHODS:
The complex grafts formed by loading diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids into GelMA hydrogel were used as the experimental group, and the grafts formed of diced cartilage in GelMA were used as the control group.The two groups of grafts were implanted subcutaneously in nude mice. After 1 month and 3 months, the grafts were taken for general observation and histological analysis. The diameter changes of cartilage, the nuclei loss of chondrocyte, and glycosaminoglycan secretion were analyzed.
RESULTS:
Chondrocyte spheroids with obvious proliferation can be seen in the experimental group. Some diced cartilages had become a whole through the interconnection of chondrocyte spheroids. In addition, the diameter of the chondrocyte spheroids—diced cartilage complex in the experimental group increased significantly, and its nuclei loss rate was less than 1/2 of that in the control group. The maintenance of proteoglycans in diced cartilages in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group.
CONCLUSION
The combination of diced cartilage with chondrocyte spheroids in GelMA hydrogel can significantly reduce the absorption of cartilage extracellular matrix, enhance phenotype maintenance during subcutaneous ectopic implantation, and can produce inter-chondral connections.

Objective:To explore the correlation between preoperative echocardiography indicators and surgical prognosis of children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and conduct verification based on significant indicators and indicator ratios.Methods:A total of 1 357 children with VSD who were admitted to the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2016 to June 2021 were selected. Various measurements including the size of the VSD, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left atrial (LA) diameter, the aortic (AO) flow rate, the tricuspid regurgitation velocity and pressure gradient were extracted from preoperative echocardiography reports. This paper explored the correlation between echocardiography reports indicators, indicator ratios and postoperative auxiliary ventilation time, respectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether there were complications, and the differences of echocardiography reports indicators between the two groups were compared. A linear regression model was established to predict the postoperative auxiliary ventilation time using these indicators, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used for variable selection.Results:The VSD size and AO flow velocity were weakly correlated with the postoperative auxiliary ventilation time ( r=0.32, 0.25; all P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between VSD flow velocity and postoperative auxiliary ventilation time. The AO flow velocity/VSD flow velocity and LVEF/VSD flow velocity were strongly correlated with the postoperative auxiliary ventilation time ( r=0.67, 0.51; all P<0.01). In the significance test, there were no significant differences in tricuspid regurgitation flow velocity, tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient, LA diameter, and LVEF between the complication group and the non-complication group(all P>0.01). However, the ratio of LVEF/tricuspid regurgitation velocity in the complication group was significantly lower than that in the non-complication group, and the ratio of tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient/LA diameter was significantly higher than that in the non-complication group (all P<0.01). The postoperative auxiliary ventilation time of VSD patients was predicted on an independent test set, with an R2 of 0.51. Conclusions:Echocardiography report indicator ratios of AO flow velocity/VSD flow velocity and LVEF/VSD flow velocity have strong correlations with postoperative auxiliary ventilation time in children with VSD, and the ratios of LVEF/tricuspid regurgitation velocity and tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient/LA diameter are significantly different between groups with and without postoperative complications. The ratios of indicators can significantly improve this correlation and difference, which can be used to predict the prognosis of VSD operation.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the public participation mechanism of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) health technology assessment in England and to provide experience for the dynamic adjustment of Chinese medical insurance catalog. METHODS By retrieving related literature and official websites, types and mechanisms of public participation (management organization, selection method, participation mode, evaluation feedback) in NICE health technology assessment were analyzed comprehensively; and based on this, suggestions were put forward to adjust the public participation in Chinese medical insurance catalog. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The current public participation types of NICE health technology assessment were patient and carer organizations, HTA committee lay members, patient expert and public observers. At the management level, NICE has set up a public participation team and made guidelines on public participation matters. For different public participation types, NICE has established different selection procedures, such as expression of interest, NICE invitation, open recruitment, nomination, NICE decision, etc. The public participation types are various and in the whole assessing process from the initial determination of the scope of the health technology assessment to the final appeal. Also, NICE has established a flexible and dynamic evaluation feedback system to optimize the way of public participation and the health technology assessment process; NICE has undertaken extensive international cooperation and exchanges to promote public participation at the national and international levels. It is suggested that our country should combine the national conditions, clarify the channel of public participation in health technology evaluation, set up a working group of public participation affairs, strengthen patients’ participation in evaluation and feedback, improve decision-making transparency, and improve the public participation mechanism of health technology evaluation from the aspects of channel opening, management mechanism, evaluation feedback, information disclosure and so on.

Objective:
To explore the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in the treatment of central nervous system leukemia (CNSL).
Methods:
Two leukemia patients with CNSL were treated with CD19-CAR-T cells. The process and results of the entire treatment is reported and related literature review is conducted.
Results:
The patients were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M2 with B lymphoid antigen expression and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL) by morphology and immunophenotype assay. The immunophenotype was consistent with the abnormal manifestations of AML-M2 and B-ALL. Their clinical manifestations and laboratory tests met the diagnostic criteria of CNSL. The diagnosis was clear and the two patients were treated with CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Central nervous system symptoms were relieved. The imaging abnormalities of patient one has disappeared but cytokines release syndrome (CRS) occurred during the treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid of patient two was negative and no obvious CRS reaction was found.
Conclusions
CAR-T cell immunotherapy is likely to induce the remission of CNSL and improve the prognosis.

Sleep is a complex physiological process of great significance to physical and mental health, and its research scope involves multiple disciplines. At present, the quantitative analysis of sleep mainly relies on the "gold standard" of polysomnography (PSG). However, PSG has great interference to the human body and cannot reflect the hemodynamic status of the brain. Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is used in sleep research, which can not only meet the demand of low interference to human body, but also reflect the hemodynamics of brain. Therefore, this paper has collected and sorted out the related literatures about fNIRS used in sleep research, concluding sleep staging research, clinical sleep monitoring research, fatigue detection research, etc. This paper provides a theoretical reference for scholars who will use fNIRS for fatigue and sleep related research in the future. Moreover, this article concludes the limitation of existing studies and points out the possible development direction of fNIRS for sleep research, in the hope of providing reference for the study of sleep and cerebral hemodynamics.
