Objective:To analyze the application value of tibial transverse transport (TTT) microvascular reconstruction combined with antibiotic bone cement in the limb salvage of diabetic foot.Methods:Seventy-seven patients with diabetic foot admitted to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Zhongshan from January 2018 to January 2021 were enrolled retrospectively, and they were divided into the control group (performed TTT microvascular reconstruction, 47 cases) and the combined group (performed TTT microvascular reconstruction combined with antibiotic bone cement, 30 cases) according to the surgical method. Wound healing rate, limb salvage rate, the ulcer healing time, bone window healing time, wound infection control status, affected side lower limb vascular blood supply situation, and peripheral nerve function recovery were compared between the two groups.Results:The amputation rate between the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05), but the healing rate in the combined group was higher than that in the control group: 90.00%(27/30) vs. 68.08%(32/47); and the ulcer healing time, bone window healing time in the combined group were shorter than those in the control group: (12.55 ± 2.14) weeks vs. (15.01 ± 3.17) weeks, (17.47 ± 2.09) weeks vs. (19.00 ± 2.58) weeks, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The positive percentage of bacteria culture in wound secretions in the combined group after the surgery for 6 d was lower than that in the control group: 20.00%(6/30) vs. 44.68%(21/47), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). After the surgery for 3 months, the dorsal skin temperature and ankle brachial index in the combined group were higher than those in the control group: (31.05 ± 1.74) ℃ vs. (29.27 ± 1.66) ℃, 0.93 ± 0.29 vs. 0.80 ± 0.19, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), but the scores of visual analog scale (VAS) and 10 g nylon line test values between the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TTT combined with antibiotic bone cement can achieve better wound healing and infection control effect in the limb salvage of diabetic foot, and the blood supply improvement of the affected limb is more significant.

Objective:To explore the effects of game addiction disorders on brain cognitive control functions based on near-infrared spectroscopy.Methods:Thirteen subjects were screened according to the Online Game Addiction (OGA) Scale. The experimental paradigm was the stop-signal task. The relative concentration levels of oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in the prefrontal region of the brain during cognitive activity were collected using near-infrared spectroscopy to assess the cognitive control function of the subjects. Results:The game-addicted patients had lower keystroke accuracy in the stop-signal task than healthy subjects, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared to healthy subjects, game-addicted patients had less activation in prefrontal areas and showed uncontrolled behavior and brain activity. Conclusions:Game addiction disorders impair brain cognitive control, which in turn triggers a weakening of cognitive control. The results of this study provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of game addiction.

Objective To construct a lentiviral vector containing mir-7-3 gene and study the function of mir-7-3 gene and its role in glioma gene therapy.Methods The plasmid Lenti-GFP-mir-7-3 and packaging plasmids pRsv-REV,pMDlg-pRRE and pMD2G were co-transfected into the human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line 293T cells,and then,recombinant lentiviral FIV-CMV-GFP-mir-7-3 carried mir-7-3 gene and GFP gene was obtained; fluorescence expression of 293T cells was observed under fluorescence microscope.The supematant was collected,concentrated and identified,and then,it was used to transfect into the U251 glioma cells (positive transfection group); and blank control group (cells transfected with empty vector) and negative control group (parental cells) were also employed.Real time-PCR was used to examine the relative contents of mir-7-3 in U251 cells; Westem blotting was employed to detect the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) and serine/threonine kinase (AKT2) protein expressions; cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell proliferative activities were measured by MTT method.Results Recombinant lentiviral FIV-CMV-GFP-mir-7-3 carried mir-7-3 gene and GFP gene was successfully constructed in 293T cells; electrophores showed that the sequence of RT-PCR product was consistent with the data ofmir-7-3 by DNA sequence analysis,indicating that the mir-7-3 gene was successfully cloned; strong green fluorwscence was observed by fluorwscent microscopy.The supernatant of lentivirus-transfected 293T cells was effectively infected into U251 cells and the relative content of mir-7-3 could be observed in the transfected U251 cells.As compared with those in the parental cells and the cells transfected with empty vector,the protein expressions of EGFR and AKT2 in the transfected group decreased significantly,reaching 38％ and 42％,respectively (P＜0.05).As compared with those in the parental cells and the cells transfected with empty vector,the cells at G0/G1 phase increased,the S phase fiaction was lower and the survival rates dramatically dropped in the mir-7-3 transfected cells 3,4,5 and 6 d after implanation.Conclusions The lentiviral vector containing mir-7-3 gene was constructed successfully.Mir-7-3 could specifically suppress EGFR and AKT2 expressions,induce gene silencing,inhibit cell growth,indicating that this way should be a new strategy in glioma gene therapy.

Objective:To investigate the value of multi-parametric analysis based on dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in predicting the initial recurrence risk for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:From November 2021 to October 2022, 102 PTC patients confirmed by pathology were retrospectively collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in this cross-sectional study. There were 25 males and 77 females, with an age of (42±13) years old. The initial recurrence risk assessment for PTC patients was categorized into a low-risk group (75 cases) and an intermediate-high-risk group (27 cases). Clinical data, including age, gender, body mass index, history of nodular goiter, history of Hashimoto thyroiditis, and preoperative thyroid function, were collected. Tumor morphological features, including size, location, shape, aspect ratio, the degree of thyroid capsule contact, calcification, and cystic change, were evaluated. Quantitative DLCT parameters, including iodine concentration (IC), standardized iodine concentration (NIC), effective atomic number (Z eff), standardized effective atomic number (NZ eff), electronic density (ED), CT values under different energy levels (40-200 keV, 30 keV intervals) and slope of energy spectrum curve (λ HU) both in the arterial and venous phase were measured. The differences in clinical, morphological features, and spectral CT quantitative parameters between the two groups were compared using independent sample ttest, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to construct three models based on clinical and morphological features, quantitative DLCT parameters and their combination, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of these models for the initial recurrence risk of PTC patients, and the area under the curve (AUC) was compared using the DeLong test. Results:Significant differences were found in gender, lesion long diameter, lesion short diameter and calcification between the low-risk group and intermediate-high-risk groups ( P<0.05). The arterial phase IC, arterial phase Z eff, arterial phase λ HU, arterial phase CT 40 keV, venous phase NIC and venous phase NZ eff in intermediate-high-risk group were significantly lower than those in the low-risk group ( P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that the clinical model included gender ( OR=2.895, 95% CI 1.047-8.002, P=0.040) and lesion long diameter ( OR=1.142, 95% CI 1.042-1.251, P=0.004), with an AUC of 0.720, sensitivity of 63.0%, and specificity of 78.7% in predicting the initial recurrence risk of PTC patients. The DLCT quantitative parameter model included arterial phase IC ( OR=0.580, 95% CI 0.370-0.908, P=0.017), venous phase NIC ( OR=0.077, 95% CI 0.011-0.536, P=0.010), and venous phase NZ eff ( OR=0.002, 95% CI 0.001-0.103, P=0.009), with an AUC of 0.774, sensitivity of 71.9%, and specificity of 70.0%. The AUC of the combined model was 0.857, with a sensitivity of 74.1%, and specificity of 88.0%, outperforming the clinical model ( Z=2.92, P=0.004) and the DLCT quantitative parameter model ( Z=2.07, P=0.046). Conclusion:Multi-parametric analysis based on DLCT can help predict the initial recurrence risk for PTC, and combining it with clinical and morphological features, the predictive accuracy can be improved.
