Objective :
To obtain the peak skin dose (PSD) of patients with interventional cardiology procedures and toevaluate the risk of deterministic effects.
Methods :
Gafchromic XR RV3 films were used in a Level A tertiary hospital inBeijing to measure the PSD of patients who underwent interventional cardiology procedures. The measurement focused onfour common types of procedures, including coronary angiography, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty,cathet-er radiofrequency ablation, and congenital heart disease. The films were scanned by EPSON EXPRESSION 10000XL andanalyzed by FILM QA ProTM 2014 software.
Results :
PSD was measured in 59 patients with interventional cardiologypro-cedures, including 23 with coronary angiography, 21 with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, 9 with catheterradiofrequency ablation, and 6 with congenital heart disease. The seven patients with PSD ≥ 2 Gy all underwentpercu-taneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, one with PSD > 3 Gy and six with PSD < 2 Gy.
Conclusion
The PSD of somepatients with interventional cardiology surgery exceeded the dose threshold of deterministic effects recommended by theICRP 118. There is a risk of deterministic effects in interventional cardiology surgery, especially in patients withpercu-taneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Objective:To explore the effects of a structured exercise intervention on the healthy physical fitness in patients with leukemia receiving umbilical cord blood transplantation.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial, conducted from August 2022 to October 2023 at the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital). Fifty leukemia patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation were recruited and were randomly assigned to either the control group (24 cases) or the intervention group (26 cases) using a random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care, health education, and exercise guidance during hospitalization. The intervention group were given moderate-intensity structured exercise intervention, including aerobic, resistance exercises, and flexibility training, three times per week for 30 to 40 minutes per session, over a period of 6 to 8 weeks. During the study, 2 patients withdrew due to disease reasons, and finally, 22 patients in the control group and 26 patients in the intervention group were obtained. The paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and covariance analysis were used to compare the indices of healthy physical fitness before and after the intervention between the two groups, aiming to explore the effects of a structured exercise intervention on the healthy physical fitness of leukemia patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation. Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant differences in baseline characteristics, such as age, gender and disease status between the two groups (all P>0.05). During the hospitalization phase, the rate of exercise participation in the intervention group was 73.4%, the frequency of exercise was (2.20±0.41) sessions per week and the duration of each exercise session was (34.34±5.05) minutes, and the Borg′s rating of perceived exertion was (13.04±0.82) points. After intervention, the indicators including cardiovascular endurance, muscle fitness, and functional activity status in the two groups were all decreased, and the reduction degree of the indicators were all significantly lower in the intervention group when compared with those in the control group [6-minute walk distance (48.81±30.39) m vs (143.05±77.26) m, grip strength of left hand (2.57±1.30) kg vs (6.72±4.88) kg, grip strength of right hand (2.47±1.97) kg vs (6.34±5.70) kg, muscle strength of left upper limb (4.12±2.07) times vs (8.18±5.26) times, muscle strength of right upper limb (3.96±2.29) times vs (7.91±5.16) times, 30 second chair standing test (3.65±1.98) times vs (7.86±4.34) times, and timed-up-and-go test (0.65±0.53) s vs (2.35±1.79) s] (all P<0.05). The flexibility fitness was improved in the intervention group after the intervention [sit-and-reach 2.00(-4.75, 8.18) cm vs 0(-9.75, 6.43) cm] ( P=0.011), but no significant differences was found in the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The structured exercise intervention has advantages in reducing the decline of healthy physical fitness in patients with leukemia receiving umbilical cord blood transplantation, and exerts a protective effect on healthy physical fitness.

OBJECTIVE To study the spectru m-toxicity relationship of in vitro hepatotoxicity of aqueous extract from Euodia rutaecarpa. METHODS The aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa from different habitats were prepared. The fingerprints of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa were established by ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method and Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Fingerprint (2012A edition ),and common peaks were identified and the similarity was evaluated. Using normal human hepatocytes L 02 as subject ,inhibitory effect of aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa to them were investigated. The spectrum-toxicity relationship of UPLC fingerprint of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa with the hepatotoxicity of hepatocytes L 02 was analyzed by grey relational analysis (GRA)and partial least squares regression analysis (PLSR). The corresponding compound of the chromatographic peak with the greatest correlation with the in vitro hepatotoxicity of E. rutaecarpa were isolated ,prepared and identified. RESULTS There were 27 common peaks in UPLC fingerprints of aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa ,with similarity of 0.375-0.995. Totally 9 peaks were confirmed ,i.e. neochlorogenic acid (peak 5),chlorogenic acid (peak 9),cryptochlorogenic acid (peak 10),caffeic acid (peak 12),rutin (peak 16),hyperin(peak 17),dehydroevotarine(peak 19),evotarine(peak 24),rutecarpine(peak 25). The aqueous extract from 16 batches of E. rutaecarpa showed significant inhibitory effect on the growth of L 02 cells(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the inhibitory rate ranged from 6.68% to 67.95%. GRA showed that there were 18 common peaks with correlation degree greater than 0.8,which were peak 8>peak 3>peak 23>peak 7>peak 4>peak 9>peak 12>peak 2>peak 19>peak 6> 4928381。E-mail:799247687@qq.com peak 15>peak 5>peak 1>peak 17>peak 21>peak 26> peak 20>peak 14 in descending order of correlation degree. PLSR showed that there were 14 peaks with regression coefficient>0 and variable importance projection value >1,and the order of regression coefficient was peak 8>peak 3>peak 23> peak 2>peak 7>peak 4>peak 12>peak 9>peak 19>peak 5>peak 17>peak 26>peak 10>peak 15. Peak 8 had the greatest correlation with in vitro hepatotoxicity,and the corresponding compound of this peak was identified as 6-O-trans caffeoyl gluconic acid. CONCLUSIONS The in vitro hepatotoxicity of aqueous extract from E. rutaecarpa is the result of multiple component interaction,among which 6-O-trans caffeoyl gluconic acid shows closest relation with in vitro hepatotoxicity.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance in extremely severe burn patients.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was performed. From January 2018 to December 2020, seventy-six adult patients with extremely severe burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Hwa Mei Hospital of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, including 55 males and 21 females, aged (45±11) years with burns of 62% (52%, 82%) total body surface area. Depending on the patient's tolerance to early enteral nutrition, they were divided into tolerance group (47 patients) and intolerance group (29 patients), and their clinical data were statistically analyzed, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), underlying disease, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, abbreviated burn severity index (ABSI) score, implementation of mechanical ventilation on the day of admission, stable shock state, vomiting before feeding. The following data were recorded including the onset time, duration length, and frequency of enteral nutrition intolerance of patients in intolerance group, and the number of operations, the length of hospitalization, the occurrence of sepsis within 2 weeks after injury, the outcome, as well as the serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), albumin, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) on post burn day (PBD) 1, 5, 9, and 13 of patients in the two groups. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test to screen the related factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance of the patients. Binary univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance of the patients. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, BMI, and percentage of underlying disease of patients between the two groups ( P>0.05). The total burn area, full-thickness burn area, ABSI score, mechanical ventilation percentage on the day of admission, percentage of unstable shock period, percentage of vomiting before feeding of patients in intolerance group were significantly higher than those in tolerance group ( Z=-4.559, -3.378, -4.067, χ 2=18.375, 23.319, 8.339, P<0.01). In intolerance group, the onset time of intolerance was (9±4) d after injury, and the duration length was 4 (2, 6) d, with a total of 46 times occurred. Compared with tolerance group, the percentage of sepsis and mortality of patients in intolerance group were significantly higher within 2 weeks after injury ( χ 2=16.571, 12.665, P<0.01). The number of operation and length of hospitalization of patients in the two groups were similar ( P>0.05); however the length of hospitalization of patients in the intolerance group was significantly more than that in tolerance group after excluding the death cases ( Z=-2.266, P<0.05). On PBD 1, the level of fasting blood glucose and AST of patients in intolerance group were significantly higher than those in tolerance group ( t=3.070, Z=-3.070, P<0.01). On PBD 5, the levels of hs-CRP, albumin, fasting blood-glucose, ALT, AST, and γ-GT of patients in the two groups were similar ( P>0.05). On PBD 9, the level of hs-CRP of patients in intolerance group was significantly higher than that in tolerance group ( t=2.836, P<0.01), and the levels of ALT and γ-GT of patients in intolerance group were significantly lower than those in tolerance group ( Z=-3.932, -2.052, P<0.05 or P<0.01). On PBD 13, the level of hs-CRP of patients in intolerance group was significantly higher than that in tolerance group ( t=3.794, P<0.01), and the levels of fasting blood glucose, ALT, and γ-GT of patients in intolerance group were significantly lower than those in tolerance group ( t=-2.176, Z=-2.945, -2.250, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Binary univariate logistic regression analysis showed that total burn area, full-thickness burn area, ABSI score, implementation of mechanical ventilation on the day of admission, unstable shock period, vomiting before feeding, and fasting blood-glucose on PBD 1 of patients were related to early enteral nutrition intolerance (odds ratio=1.086, 1.052, 1.775, 9.167, 12.797, 10.125, 1.249, 95% confidence interval=1.045-1.129, 1.019-1.085, 1.320-2.387, 3.132-26.829, 4.199-39.000, 2.003-51.172, 1.066-1.464, P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the large total burn area, unstable shock period, vomiting before feeding, and high fasting blood-glucose on PBD 1 of patients were the independent risk factors of early enteral nutrition intolerance in patients (odds ratio=1.073, 6.390, 9.004, 1.246, 95% confidence interval=1.021-1.128, 1.527-26.734, 1.134-71.496, 1.007-1.540, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions:The percentage of early enteral nutrition intolerance is very high in extremely severe burn patients, which is closely related to poor prognosis. Large total burn area, vomiting before feeding, unstable shock phase, high fasting glucose on PBD 1 of patients are the independent risk factors for early enteral nutrition intolerance in extremely severe burn patients. The benefits and risks should be carefully evaluated before starting enteral nutrition in such patients, and early enteral nutrition should not be blindly pursued.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcome of arthroscopic suture-button Bristow procedure using suture-button fixation for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 28 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability admitted to Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital from March 2015 to September 2018,including 26 males and 2 females,aged 18-36 years [(24.1 ± 3.2)years]. Preoperative MRI showed Bankart injury and three-dimensional CT showed glenoid bone defect > 15%. The Hill-Sachs injury was found in 27 patients. Arthroscopic Bristow procedure was used to fix coracoid process graft with the suture-button plate and glenoid labial complex was repaired with the suture anchor to treat anterior instability of the shoulder joint. The visual analogue scale (VAS),American shoulder and elbow surgeon (ASES) scale,Constant score and Rowe score were used to evaluate the shoulder joint function preoperatively,at postoperative 3,6,12 months and at the last follow-up. The postoperative infection,neurovascular injury,redislocation and other complications were recorded,and the incidence rate was calculated. The bone resorption and bone healing of coracoid process graft were analyzed by CT.Results:All patients were followed up for 22 - 36 months [(24.5 ± 6.3) months]. Three months after operation,the VAS,ASES scale and Constant score were not significantly different from those before operation ( P > 0.05). In comparison,the Rowe score was significantly higher than that before operation ( P < 0.05). Six and twelve months after operation,the VAS,ASES scale,Constant score and Rowe score were significantly improved from those before operation ( P < 0.05). At the last follow-up,the VAS decreased from (2.7 ± 1.5)points preoperatively to (0.8 ± 0.3)points,the ASES scale increased from (78.6 ± 12.7)points preoperatively to (92.4 ± 8.4)points,the Constant score increased from (43.4 ± 5.2) points preoperatively to (81.6 ± 6.7) points,the Rowe score increased from (52.3 ± 7.1)preoperatively to (92.7 ± 5.4) points ( P < 0.05). During the follow-up,there was no infection,neurovascular injury,re-dislocation and other complications. In addition,24 (86%) out of the 28 patient showed healing of coracoid process grafts,and the overall bone resorption rate was (18.4 ± 6.1)%. No patients had glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis. Conclusion:Arthroscopic Bristow procedure using suture-button fixation for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability has advantages of a low rate of postoperative complications and a high union rate,indicating an effective and safe surgical procedure.

Objective:To determine the peak skin dose (PSD) to patients from neuro-interventional procedures and evaluate the risk of the deterministic effect.Methods:Gafchromic XR RV3 films were used in a level A tertiary hospital in Beijing to measure the patients′ PSD from neuro-interventional procedures, mainly three common types of procedures, including vascular embolization, vascular angioplasty and vascular angiography. The films were scanned by Epson Expression 10000XL, read by ImageJ software, and analyzed by Film QA Pro?2014 software.Results:PSD was measured in 23 embolizations, 14 stentings and 12 arteriography. There were 20 patients whose PSD were equal or greater than 2 Gy, including 15 in vascular embolization and 5 in angioplasty. The PSDs to patients in cerebral arteriography were all below 2 Gy. The PSDs to some of the patients were higher than the threshold for deterministic effect recommended by ICRP Publication 118.Conclusions:There is a risk of deterministic effect in neurointerventional procedures. It is suggested that the patients be followed up to observe their radiation injury as well as to know in time the subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
