Objective Hand-foot syndrome is a dose-limiting toxicity of capecitabine.At present,there is no unified gold standard for the establishment of hand-foot syndrome model.To induce hand-foot syndrome and provide a reference for the establishment of hand-foot syndrome model by administering capecitabine in ICR mice.Methods 42 male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group(6 mice)and experimental group(36 mice).The experimental group was given capecitabine(275 mg/kg,twice/d)by intragastric administration for two weeks,and the control group was given 0.5%CMC-Na(4 ml/kg,twice/d),to evaluate whether the animal model of hand-foot syndrome was successfully constructed through H&E staining of mouse foot skin samples and observe morphological changes and the characteristic appearance of mouse foot skin.After the experiment,the mice were sacrificed,and plasma was collected to quantify the concentrations of capecitabine and metabolites.Results Control mice did not showed symptoms of hand-foot syndrome.The skin of the feet of 19 mice in the experimental group showed symptoms such as erythema and swelling,and H&E staining results showed that the plantar skin angular epidermis was thickened,and part of the keratin was exfoliated and damaged,which was considered to be hand-foot syndrome.There were no significant differences in the concentrations of capecitabine and its metabolites between mice with and without hand-foot syndrome.Conclusion The model of hand-foot syndrome induced by capecitabine in mice was successfully established.Differences in exposure levels of capecitabine and metabolites may not be the cause of hand-foot syndrome.

Acute amnestic syndrome manifests as transient or persistent symptoms of single amnesia,which may also be accompanied by other neurological symptoms,eventually leading to irreversible brain damage.The typical symptoms of acute ischemic stroke include hemiplegia,aphasia,sensory disturbances,and so forth.Acute amnesia is not a typical symptom of acute ischemic stroke,and it is easy to misdiagnose or delay diagnosis in the emergency department.The authors retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of a patient with acute cerebral infarction who started with acute amnesia syndrome,and combined with relevant literature,to explore its clinical characteristics and pathogenesis.The purpose of this article is to provide reference for emergency physician and neurologist in the diagnosis and treatment of similar cases.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma inflammatory factors [IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-23, TNF-α, TGF-β, IFN-γ, C-reactive protein (CPR) CCL-5] and hand-foot syndrome in colorectal cancer patients after taking capecitabine. Methods 35 colorectal cancer patients treated with capecitabine were collected and the degree of severity was divided according to the hand-foot syndrome grading diagnostic criteria. The concentrations of inflammatory factors in plasma were determined by ELISA kits. Results The standard curve of all inflammatory cytokines were linear (r>0.9900), and plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines in patients with colorectal cancer were determined. The concentration of TNF-α changed obviously, which had reference value. Conclusion The concentrations of different inflammatory factors were different and the concentration of TNF-α was closely correlated with the severity of hand-foot syndrome.

Objective To establish an UHPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of uracil (U) and dihydrouracil (UH₂) in human plasma. Methods A positive ion detection mode was adopted on the Agilent 6460A mass spectrometer. Chlorouracil was used as the internal standard. 3% bovine serum albumin was used as surrogate plasma matrix. The pretreatment of plasma sample was completed based on liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-Aq (2.1 mm×100 mm, 2.7 μm) column with gradient elution. The mobile phase was 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate aqueous solution and acetonitrile solution. The flow rate was 0.3 ml/min. The column temperature was 30°C. The injection volume was 5 μl. Results The linear range of uracil and dihydrouracil was 10.0-1500.0 ng/ml. Both of uracil and dihydrouracil had good linear relationship with correlation coefficient (r)>0.990. Both of inter- and intra-day precision was <15%. Conclusion The established method is simple, selective, and suitable for the determination of U and UH₂ in human plasma.

Objective:To observe the changes of cognitive function, subcortical nuclei volumes, and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters (values of fractional anisotropy [FA], mean diffusivity [MD] and mean kurtosis [MK]) after surgery in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and analyze the correlations of cognitive dysfunction with subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters.Methods:A prospective sutdy was conducted;17 patients with aSAH confirmed by surgery in our hospital from September 2019 to June 2020 were selected as patient group, and 16 healthy volunteers whose age, gender, and education level were matched with the patient group were recruited as control group. Neuropsychological tests and MR imaging were performed in the patients 3 months after surgery and the controls right after enrollment. The structural image data of all subjects were post-processed. Bilateral subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were analyzed. The differences of general clinical data, subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were compared between the two groups. The correlations of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scores with subcortical nuclei volumes and DKI parameters were analyzed.Results:As compared with the control group, the patient group had significantly lower MMSE and MoCA scores, and statistically decreased volumes of ipsilateral hippocampus, ipsilateral thalamus and ipsilateral lentiform nucleus ( P<0.05). The FA values of the contralateral caudate nucleus, bilateral thalamus and bilateral lentiform nucleus and MK values of the ipsilateral hippocampus in the patient group were significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group ( P<0.05); while the MD values of the ipsilateral caudate nucleus in the patient group were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group ( P<0.05). The volume of ipsilateral hippocampus was positively with MoCA scores ( r=0.604, P=0.038); the FA values of contralateral caudate nucleus were negatively correlated with MMSE scores ( r=-0.579, P=0.049). Conclusions:Cognitive dysfunction, atrophy of ipsilateral hippocampus, thalamus and lenticular nucleus, and changes of DKI parameters exist in patients with aSAH after surgery. The changes in ipsilateral hippocampus volume and FA values of caudate nucleus may be related to the postoperative cognitive dysfunction in these patients.

At present, most of the common medical clothes in clinic are uniform medical clothes, but there is no special clothes for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). In recent years, with the extensive application of critical ultrasound in the field of critical medicine, it is obviously difficult to meet the clinical needs on traditional patients' clothes. Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital designed a patient's clothing for critical ultrasound examination. The left/right chest, lateral chest, groin and abdomen of the patient's clothing body were covered with cloth and marked areas. When critically ill patients need to be examined by ultrasound and electrocardiogram, the site can be quickly located only by removing the cloth. At the same time, it can protect patients' privacy, avoid aggravating the condition due to cold, increase patients' comfort in clothing, and also facilitate medical care. It is worthy popularizing in clinic because of its practicability and novel design.
