Objective To evaluate and improve the geometrical accuracy of the magnetic resonance imaging used for gamma knife radiosurgery localization. Methods Four common MRI scan programs were used in this study. The images were transferred to the Gamma Plan treatment planning system.Deviations between stereotactic coordinates based on MR images and real geometrical positions given by the construction of the phantom insert were evaluated for each study.The deviations were further investigated as a function of the spatial position of measured points in the investigated volume.Results The geometrical coordinate errors for axial and coronal images of the selected scan programs were all less than 1 mm.Optimal imaging procedure in terms of geometrical accuracy was observed using spin echo T1 and 3D FSPGR MRI sequences in the unit.Statistically significant differences were found in axial images amongSE T1,FSE T2,FRFSE Pd,FSPGR 3D sequences (F=1497.51,1873.63,2.87,3.00,P ＜0.05).The error increased along with the increase of the distance between node point and centricity.Conclusions The geometrical coordinate errors is related with the imaging program in M(il)l. Proper imaging programs and parameters should be selected according to the imageology character of patients' lesions when the radiosurgery is performed.

Objective: To analyze cases in different groups of DRGs mortality risk ranking regarding overall medical dispute cases of the hospital from 2012 to 2017, and to study various groups of such ranking for these disputes as faced by different clinical departments, for the purpose of targeted intervention into medical risk exposures. Methods: Inpatient medical dispute cases in 2012-2017 period were selected, and classified into the various mortality groups by the standards and definition of BJ-DRGs. These data were used to calculate medical dispute incidence in each group, and analyze the difference between internal medicine and surgery departments. Results: Medical disputes of the hospital were mostly found in case groups of mortality free and those of low mortality risks, accounting for 66% of the total cases. This figure was the highest in surgical departments, having a percentage as high as 72%, and the CMI values of these cases were low as well (0.765 and 1.416 respectively). Conclusions As case groups of mortality free and low risks tend to attract disputes, the hospital is recommended to enhance the risk awareness and training of its medical staff and key medical regulations.

The extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) has been known to play a key regulatory role in pathological angiogenesis. A elevated activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) following radiation injury has been shown to mediate blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. However, the roles of EMMPRIN and VEGF in radiation-induced brain injury after gamma knife surgery (GKS) are not clearly understood. In this study, we investigated EMMPRIN changes in a rat model of radiation injury following GKS and examined potential associations between EMMPRIN and VEGF expression. Adult male rats were subjected to cerebral radiation injury by GKS under anesthesia. We found that EMMPRIN and VEGF expression were markedly upregulated in the target area at 8-12 weeks after GKS compared with the control group by western blot, immunohistochemistry, and RT-PCR analysis. Immunofluorescent double staining demonstrated that EMMPRIN signals colocalized with caspase-3 and VEGF-positive cells. Our data also demonstrated that increased EMMPRIN expression was correlated with increased VEGF levels in a temporal manner. This is the first study to show that EMMPRIN and VEGF may play a role in radiation injuries of the central nervous system after GKS.

It is one of the ten leading causes of death worldwide and has become one of the leading causes in children.The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a membrane protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.Recently, studies have shown that RAGE can be involved in sepsis induced myocardial injury, kidney injury, lung injury, abnormal coagulation function, liver injury and neuropathy, which is closely related with the development and prognosis of sepsis.

Objective:To analyze the causes and characteristics of children′s accidental injuries, and provide reference for preventing accidental injury in children.Methods:The case data of 350 children who were hospitalized due to accidental injury in the PICU at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from June 2017 to May 2020 were collected, and their age characteristics, family factors, accident time, location, cause of injury and prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 350 children with accidental injury were treated during three years, accounting for 12.2% of the total number of children admitted to the PICU during the same period, and the fatality rate was 10.6%.There were 200 males and 150 females; infants and young children were still the high-risk group of accidental injuries, accounting for 42.9%, while adolescent children accounted for 27.4%.The top three causes of accidental injury were poisoning in 149 cases (42.6%), traffic injury in 75 cases (21.4%), and fall injury in 65 cases (18.6%). The accident occurred most frequently in summer, mainly from 12∶00 to 18∶00, the average hospitalization days were 8.04 days, and the average hospitalization cost was 28 686.74 yuan.Conclusion:At present, accidental injuries of children are still an important factor endangering children′s health.The fatality rate is high and the characteristics of the disease are closely related to age, season, location, etc.Targeted prevention and intervention measures should be carried out according to different characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of the ratio of veno-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference to arterio-venous oxygen content difference (Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2) in children with primary peritonitis-related septic shock. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. Sixty-three children with primary peritonitis-related septic shock admitted to department of intensive care unit of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from December 2016 to December 2021 were enrolled. The 28-day all-cause mortality was the primary endpoint event. The children were divided into survival group and death group according to the prognosis. The baseline data, blood gas analysis, blood routine, coagulation, inflammatory status, critical score and other related clinical data of the two groups were statistics. The factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed by binary Logistic regression, and the predictability of risk factors were tested by the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve). The risk factors were stratified according to the cut-off, Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis compared the prognostic differences between the groups.Results:A total of 63 children were enrolled, including 30 males and 33 females, the average age (5.6±4.0) years old, 16 cases died in 28 days, with mortality was 25.4%. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body weight and pathogen distribution between the two groups. The proportion of mechanical ventilation, surgical intervention, vasoactive drug application, and procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, activated partial thromboplastin time, serum lactate (Lac), Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2, pediatric sequential organ failure assessment, pediatric risk of mortality Ⅲ in the death group were higher than those in the survival group. Platelet count, fibrinogen, mean arterial pressure were lower than those in the survival group, and the differences were statistically significant. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that Lac and Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of children [odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 2.01 (1.15-3.21), 2.37 (1.41-3.22), respectively, both P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of Lac, Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 and their combination were 0.745, 0.876 and 0.923, the sensitivity were 75%, 85% and 88%, and the specificity were 71%, 87% and 91%, respectively. Risk factors were stratified according to cut-off, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 28-day cumulative probability of survival of Lac ≥ 4 mmol/L group was lower than that in Lac < 4 mmol/L group [64.29% (18/28) vs. 82.86% (29/35), P < 0.05]. Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 ≥ 1.6 group 28-day cumulative probability of survival was less than Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 < 1.6 group [62.07% (18/29) vs. 85.29% (29/34), P < 0.01]. After a hierarchical combination of the two sets of indicator variables, the 28-day cumulative probability of survival of Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 ≥ 1.6 and Lac ≥ 4 mmol/L group significantly lower than that of the other three groups (Log-rank test, χ2 = 7.910, P = 0.017). Conclusion:Pv-aCO 2/Ca-vO 2 combined with Lac has a good predictive value for the prognosis of children with peritonitis-related septic shock.
