Objective To explore the clinical value of laparoscopy combined with radionuclide imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric gastrointestinal hemorrhage, especially for Meckel’s diverticulum and double intestine. Methods ~ 99m Tc~-pertechnetate abdominal scintigraphy was performed in 22 children with a history of recurrent hemafecia or melena in this hospital from December 1998 to December 2005. All the children were given a laparoscopic exploration. Results Among the 22 patients, scintigraphy showed positive findings in 18 patients and negative, 4 patients. The positive patients were all confirmatively diagnosed by laparoscopic surgery and pathological examinations, including Meckel’s diverticulum in 14 patients and duplications of alimentary tract in 4 patients. In the other 4 patients with negative results, no organic pathologic changes was identified by laparoscopy in 3 patients and Meckel’s diverticulum was found after laparoscopic exploration in 1 patient. Conclusions Radionuclide imaging is an important method in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage in children and provides scientific basis for surgical intervention. The combination of laparoscopy and radionuclide imaging not only has values in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric gastrointestinal hemorrhage, but also minimizes the blindness and trauma of exploratory laparotomy.

OBJECTIVES:
To estimate postmortem interval (PMI) by analyzing the protein changes in skeletal muscle tissues with the protein chip technology combined with multivariate analysis methods.
METHODS:
Rats were sacrificed for cervical dislocation and placed at 16 ℃. Water-soluble proteins in skeletal muscles were extracted at 10 time points (0 d, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 4 d, 5 d, 6 d, 7 d, 8 d and 9 d) after death. Protein expression profile data with relative molecular mass of 14 000-230 000 were obtained. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) were used for data analysis. Fisher discriminant model and back propagation (BP) neural network model were constructed to classify and preliminarily estimate the PMI. In addition, the protein expression profiles data of human skeletal muscles at different time points after death were collected, and the relationship between them and PMI was analyzed by heat map and cluster analysis.
RESULTS:
The protein peak of rat skeletal muscle changed with PMI. The result of PCA combined with OPLS discriminant analysis showed statistical significance in groups with different time points (P<0.05) except 6 d, 7 d and 8 d after death. By Fisher discriminant analysis, the accuracy of internal cross-validation was 71.4% and the accuracy of external validation was 66.7%. The BP neural network model classification and preliminary estimation results showed the accuracy of internal cross-validation was 98.2%, and the accuracy of external validation was 95.8%. There was a significant difference in protein expression between 4 d and 25 h after death by the cluster analysis of the human skeletal muscle samples.
CONCLUSIONS
The protein chip technology can quickly, accurately and repeatedly obtain water-soluble protein expression profiles in rats' and human skeletal muscles with the relative molecular mass of 14 000-230 000 at different time points postmortem. The establishment of multiple PMI estimation models based on multivariate analysis can provide a new idea and method for PMI estimation.

Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research results is a major challenge.Researchers reporting their research process transparently and accurately can help readers evaluate the reliability of the research results and further explore the experiment by repeating it or building upon its findings. The ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines, released in 2019 by the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a checklist applicable to any in vivo animal research report. These guidelines aim to improve the standardization of experimental design, implementation, and reporting, as well as the reliability, repeatability, and clinical translatability of animal experimental results. The use of ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines not only enriches the details of animal experimental research reports, ensuring that information on animal experimental results is fully evaluated and utilized, but also enables readers to understand the content expressed by the author accurately and clearly, promoting the transparency and integrity of the fundamental research review process. At present, the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines have been widely adopted by international biomedical journals. This article is a Chinese translation based on the best practices of international journals following the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines in international journals, specifically for the complete interpretation of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines published in the PLoS Biology journal in 2020 (original text can be found at
