Objective To study the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and to provide anatomical basis for clinical tissue transplantation based on the first metatarsal dorsal artery.Methods The 16 adult cadaver specimens with 32 feet were dissected and meas-ured by vernier caliper.Then the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery were analyzed.Results Through the examinations of 32 feet sample,the first metatarsal dorsal artery were classified into 5 types.Type Ⅰ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs at the surface of the first dorsal interosseous muscle (13 sides,40.6%).Type Ⅱ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs in the interior of the first dorsal interosse-ous muscle (11sides,34.4%).Type Ⅲ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs underneath the first dorsal interosseous muscle (6 sides, 18.8%).Type Ⅳ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is slender (1 side,3.1%).TypeⅤ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is absent (1 side, 3.1%).Distance relationship was measured between the first metatarsal bone and the first metatarsal dorsal artery:the vertical distance be-tween the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and base of the first metatarsal bone was (2.4 ±0.3)mm,the ver-tical distance between the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and head of the first metatarsal bone was (10.1 ±1.0)mm;the vertical distance between the origin of the anterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and the first metatarso-phalangeal joint was (7.6 ±2.7)mm.Conclusion The first metatarsal dorsal artery has clinical reference significance for the hands and feet’s trauma and skin flap transplantation such as thumb reconstruction.

Leukemia is a critical disease with a high incidence and extremely high fatality rate.Immune escape by leukemia stem cells(LSC)is the main factor for recurrence and progression after remission.Clinical diagnosis and treatment by Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)have distinct advantages of syndrome differentiation and treatment.Based on the purpose of diagnosis and treatment,leukemia treatment by TCM emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang to restore human functions,which is conducive to improve autoimmunity and conforms to the mechanism of intervention for tumor cell immune escape.This article discusses the mechanism and research progress of TCM interventions in LSC immune escape based on literature and TCM theory.

Objective:To explore the value of blood lipids, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) detection in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.Methods:From Mar. 2016 to Oct. 2021, 120 cases of DTC were admitted to the DTC group, 138 patients with benign thyroid nodules were included in the benign group, and 100 healthy people undergoing the physical examination in our hospital during the same period. were enrolled in the control group. Triglyceride (TG) , total cholesterol (TC) , high density liptein cholesterol (HDL-C) , low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) , IL-6, and TSH were compared between groups, and statistically significant indexes were included for multivariate analysis of the occurrence of DTC. The sensitivity, specificity and optimal cut-off value were analyzed, and their relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics of DTC patients was analyzed.Results:Serum TSH and IL-6 levels from high to low were malignant group, benign group and control group, and HDL-C levels from high to low were control group, benign group and malignant group ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the levels of TC, TG or LDL-C ( P>0.05) . Multivariate Llogistics regression analysis indicated that TSH and IL-6 may be risk factors for the occurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer (all OR>1, P<0.05) . HDL-C may be a protective factor for the occurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer ( OR<1, P<0.05) . The ROC curve was drawn to determine the optimal cut-off value of TSH for the diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer, AUC: 0.985, sensitivity was 93.25%, specificity was 96.34%, 95% CI: 0.949-1.000 ( P<0.001) ; the best cut-off value of IL-6 for the diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer was 48.96 ng/L, AUC: 0.980, sensitivity was 96.98%, the specificity was 91.53%, 95%CI: 0.956-1.000 ( P<0.05) ; the best cut-off value of HDL-C for the diagnosis of differentiated thyroid cancer was 1.441 mmol/L, AUC: 0.0.691, the sensitivity was 85.10%, the specificity was 48.06%, 95%CI: 0.563-0.812 ( P<0.05) . The serum levels of TSH and IL-6 in patients with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those in patients without lymph node metastasis, and the level of HDL-C was significantly lower than those in patients without lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05) . TNM staging The serum levels of TSH and IL-6 in patients with stage III and IV were significantly higher than those in patients with stage I and II, and HDL-C was significantly lower than that in patients with stage I and II ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Serum IL-6, TSH and HDL-C are closely related to the occurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer. The detection of serum IL-6, TSH and HDL-C is helpful for the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. The presence or absence of lymph node metastasis in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer is related to TNM staging, and the detection value is high.

Objective:To simulate the spot characteristics of light emitting diode (LED) array light sources used in non-invasive phototherapy at different distances and to provide reference for the formulation of clinical non-invasive phototherapy treatment schemes.Methods:The ray tracing module in Comsol software was used to simulate the spot characteristics of LED light sources with different power and arrays at different distances, and the fitting curve was analyzed. The model was verified by the actual LED spot measurement, and the feasibility of the treatment scheme was verified by the mouse back wound model.Results:Under the irradiation of 2×2 LED light source array, with the increase of the vertical distance from the light source, the area of the effective area and the treatment area gradually increased, the power density value in the area gradually decreased, and the uniformity gradually increased. These changes showed a linear or binomial correlation with the vertical distance. The model was improved based on the actual LED light spot, and the new model consisted of an array of 18 LEDs as the light source, and the treatment area showed better uniformity and power density values. The simulated optical parameters were used to treat mice’s wounds with light, and the results showed that light treatment could promote wound healing.Conclusions:The established medical LED array light source spot characteristics simulation can provide a reference for the development of clinical non-invasive phototherapy protocols, thus helping the clinic select the appropriate LED power and array distribution according to the treatment needs and also providing a basis for the development of medical LED array light sources.

Objective To observe the value of cardiac CT angiography(CCTA)for left atrial appendage closure(LAAC).Methods Twelve Labradors were enrolled and underwent LAAC.CCTA examinations were performed before and 7,45 and 90 days after LAAC,and the left atrial appendage(LAA)parameters before and post LAAC occluder compression ratio were recorded.Ninety days after LAAC,the dogs were euthanized for gross anatomical observation,micro CT imaging and pathological examination,and the value of CCTA for LAAC was analyzed.Results Based on CCTA before LAAC,LAA opening depth was(18.8±2.6)mm,the minimum diameter was(16.3±2.0)mm and the maximum diameter was(22.6±3.2)mm,so 28 mm diameter occluders were selected for LAAC.Seven,45 and 90 days after LAAC,no displacement of occluder,thrombi nor device leakage was found on CCTA,while no significant difference of compression ratio was found among different time points(P＞0.05),nor between those measured with CCTA and micro CT 90 days after LAAC(P＞0.05).Ninety days after LAAC,gross dissection revealed complete endothelialization of occlude in 11 dogs and incomplete endothelialization in 1 dog.Pathological examination showed that collagen fibers arranged neatly,with endothelial cells covering the surface,and no inflammatory cell infiltration was observed.Conclusion CCTA could be used to observe LAA and surrounding structures before LAAC,hence guiding to select appropriate occluder,evaluate occlusion effect and monitor complications of LAAC in dogs.

Evaluate the effect of the fresh air purification system on the improvement of indoor PM 2.5 levels in a primary school classroom in Jinan City, Shandong Province. Our purpose is to explore the optimal operating time of the fresh air system and the main factors that affect the fresh air purification system to improve indoor air quality. From December 9, 2019 to December 10, 2019, two classrooms of the same area on the third floor of a primary school building in Jinan City, Shandong Province were selected as monitoring points. During the operation of the fresh air purification system, the PM 2.5 concentration in the classroom is reduced by an average of 48.1%-61.5% compared to the outdoor PM 2.5 concentration. After running for about 2 hours, the indoor PM 2.5 concentration decreased to a relatively stable concentration level. The operating time of the fresh air purification system, student activities between classes, indoor temperature, indoor relative humidity, and outdoor PM 2.5 concentration are important factors that affect the indoor particulate removal rate. In the case of a certain amount of fresh air and indoor area, closing doors and windows and appropriately extending the operation time of the fresh air purification system can improve the air quality in the classroom to a certain extent and protect the health of students.
