To promote the construction of a wound repair and regeneration system with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to follow the principle of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and integrate theory, clinical practice, and teaching. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic concept and the principle of dialectical treatment, while Western medicine focuses on etiological analysis and local treatment. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other's advantages and improve treatment effectiveness. The key technological innovations in repairing and regenerating systems cover areas such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and the application of biomaterials. This article discusses the development potential and challenges of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the field of wound repair and regeneration, providing new ideas and methods for the development of wound repair and regeneration. It is expected to bring better medical services and treatment effects to patients undergoing repair and regeneration.

[Objective] To summarize the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, treatment options and prognosis of the world's first case of prostate ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) complicated with prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMA). [Methods] The clinical and follow-up data of a patient with PDA and PMA treated in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature in PubMed and CNKI databases was retrieved. [Results] The patient sought medical attention due to dysuria, frequent urination, urinary urgency and urinary pain for more than half a year, and was admitted to hospital 3 times in total.The initial diagnosis upon the first admission was benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated with prostatic abscess.After 2 months, the patient was readmitted due to worsening symptoms, received transurethral bladder neck incision+ cystoscopy+ transurethral plasma resection of the prostate, and postoperative diagnosis confirmed PDA with local PMA.Three months after surgery, the patient had bleeding.After auxiliary examinations revealed extensive metastasis, he received hormonal therapy.After 9 months, the patient died due to multiple lung metastases. [Conclusion] Early diagnosis has a significant impact on the treatment and prognosis, but there have been no previous reports of PDA combined with PMA, so the lack of specific biomarkers in the early stage has led to missed diagnosis or misdiagnoses.There is no specific treatment for PDA with PMA. Radical prostatectomy was not satisfactory in the treatment of this case.

Objective To explore the feelings and needs of patients with pancreatic duct stones undergoing endoscopic treatment,and to provide a basis for formulating personalized methods.Methods Purposive sampling method was used to select 15 patients who were treated in the Department of Gastroenterology of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Shanghai from February to April 2023 for semi-structured interviews.Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to code and summarize the data to refine the theme.Results The treatment experience and needs of patients were summarized into four themes.① Inadequate pain cognition and coping management before treatment:characterized by persistent or intermittent abdominal pain;The location of onset is hidden and easy to be misdiagnosed.Ineffective coping style;Affecting daily life and reducing the quality of life.② Changes of physiological comfort during the diagnosis and treatment period:abdominal soft tissue injury;Postoperative complications.③ Attitude changes after treatment:expectant treatment before diagnosis and treatment;Disappointment and doubt when expectations are not met;Belief after symptom improvement;④ Needs during treatment:professional guidance;Continuous nursing support.Conclusion Patients with pancreatic duct stones have insufficient knowledge of pain before endoscopic treatment.During the treatment,their attitudes may change and they may seek external support.Medical staff should pay attention to the dynamic changes of their physiological,psychological and social needs,and take corresponding measures to reduce pain,improve comfort and promote rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis(PM),and drug sensitivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP)isolates in Chinese children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information,laboratory data,and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.Results Among the 160 children with PM,there were 103 males and 57 females.The age ranged from 15 days to 15 years,with 109 cases(68.1% )aged 3 months to under 3 years.SP strains were isolated from 95 cases(59.4% )in cerebrospinal fluid cultures and from 57 cases(35.6% )in blood cultures.The positive rates of SP detection by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing and cerebrospinal fluid SP antigen testing were 40% (35/87)and 27% (21/78),respectively.Fifty-five cases(34.4% )had one or more risk factors for purulent meningitis,113 cases(70.6% )had one or more extra-cranial infectious foci,and 18 cases(11.3% )had underlying diseases.The most common clinical symptoms were fever(147 cases,91.9% ),followed by lethargy(98 cases,61.3% )and vomiting(61 cases,38.1% ).Sixty-nine cases(43.1% )experienced intracranial complications during hospitalization,with subdural effusion and/or empyema being the most common complication[43 cases(26.9% )],followed by hydrocephalus in 24 cases(15.0% ),brain abscess in 23 cases(14.4% ),and cerebral hemorrhage in 8 cases(5.0% ).Subdural effusion and/or empyema and hydrocephalus mainly occurred in children under 1 year old,with rates of 91% (39/43)and 83% (20/24),respectively.SP strains exhibited complete sensitivity to vancomycin(100% ,75/75),linezolid(100% ,56/56),and meropenem(100% ,6/6).High sensitivity rates were also observed for levofloxacin(81% ,22/27),moxifloxacin(82% ,14/17),rifampicin(96% ,25/26),and chloramphenicol(91% ,21/23).However,low sensitivity rates were found for penicillin(16% ,11/68)and clindamycin(6% ,1/17),and SP strains were completely resistant to erythromycin(100% ,31/31).The rates of discharge with cure and improvement were 22.5% (36/160)and 66.2% (106/160),respectively,while 18 cases(11.3% )had adverse outcomes.Conclusions Pediatric PM is more common in children aged 3 months to under 3 years.Intracranial complications are more frequently observed in children under 1 year old.Fever is the most common clinical manifestation of PM,and subdural effusion/emphysema and hydrocephalus are the most frequent complications.Non-culture detection methods for cerebrospinal fluid can improve pathogen detection rates.Adverse outcomes can be noted in more than 10% of PM cases.SP strains are high sensitivity to vancomycin,linezolid,meropenem,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):131-138]

A triplex RT-qPCR assay with human genes as internal references was established for detection of the Dengue and Zika viruses(DENV and ZIKV,respectively).The conserved regions of the four serotypes of DENV,along with the NS1 gene of ZIKV and the human β-actin gene,which is stably ex-pressed in various human tissues,were targeted by three sets of specific primers and probes.Standard plasmids for four se-rotypes of DENV,ZIKV,and β-actin were constructed as pos-itive controls.Optimal reaction conditions were determined through an L9(34)orthogonal experiment.The specificity,sensitivity,and coverage of the assay were verified and evalua-ted clinically,and the consistency was evaluated against a com-mercial kit for detection of DENV.The triplex RT-qPCR assay established exhibited no non-specific cross reactions with 12 similar arboviruses.The detection sensitivity for DENV and ZIKV were 2.99 and 2.18 copies/μL,respectively,and the intra-group and inter-group repeatability coefficients of variation were within 1.5％.As compared to the commercial kit,the proposed assay obtained positive results for 13 epidemic strains of DENV.Bland-Altman consistency analysis confirmed that the consistency of the detection results of clinical positive samples between the commercial kit and the proposed assay was 92.59％.The highly specific and sensitive triplex RT-qPCR assay with internal references is an effective tool for early and rapid differential identification of DENV and ZIKV.

Objective:Serological and molecular biology methods were used to identify the blood type of a patient with forward and reverse ABO typing inconsistency,and to explore the genetic characteristics of this blood type.Methods:The ABO phenotype of the proband was identified by tube method,and the ABO blood group genotype of the proband and her parents was determined by fluorescent PCR.The 7 exons of the ABO gene were directly sequenced and analyzed.Results:According to preliminary serological identification,the ABO phenotype of this patient was Bel subtype.Genotyping tests showed that the ABO genotype of the proband and her father was B/O1,and her mother was O1/O1.Sequencing of exons revealed novel heterozygous variations in exon 1:c.16_17delinsTGTTGCA.Conclusion:The Novel variations in exon 1 led to Bel subtype in the ABO blood group of the proband,and these variations are heritable.

Objective:To investigate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cine sequences in determining the range of tumor motion in radiotherapy, providing a basis for the precise delineation of the target volume in motion for radiation therapy.Methods:A modified chest motion phantom was placed in a MRI scanner, and a water-filled sphere was used to simulate a tumor. True fast imaging with steady precession (TrueFISP) MRI cine sequences from Siemens were used to capture the two-dimensional motion images of the simulated tumor. The phantom experiments were divided into three modes: head-foot motion mode, rotation motion mode, and actual respiratory waveform mode. In the head-foot motion mode, respiratory motion period (3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 s), amplitude (5, 10 and 15 mm), and respiratory waveform of the simulated tumor (sin and cos4) were set, resulting in a total of 36 motion combinations. In the rotation motion mode, a cos4 waveform was used for respiration, with respiratory periods of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 s, head-foot motion set amplitudes of 5, 10 and 15 mm, and anterior-posterior (AP) and left-right (LR) motion set amplitudes in three combinations ([2.5, 2.5] mm, [2.5, 5.0] mm, [5.0, 5.0] mm), resulting in a total of 54 motion combinations. In the actual respiratory waveform mode, respiratory waveforms of 5 randomly selected patients from Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were obtained. Under each motion combination, TrueFISP cine images (30 frames, with an acquisition time of 11 s per frame) were obtained. The code was used to automatically identify the two-dimensional coordinates of the center of the simulated tumor in each image, and sin and cos4 functions were separately employed to fit the tumor position in the motion direction, thereby obtaining the fitted motion period and amplitude. The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the tumor's center coordinates in the head-to-foot direction is taken as the range of movement, referred to as the calculated amplitude. For the actual respiratory waveform, the distance between the measured maximum and minimum positions is used to calculate the amplitude.Results:In the head-foot motion mode, the fitted amplitudes of both sin and cos4 waveforms deviated from the set amplitudes by 0-0.51 mm, with relative deviations of 0%-4.2%. The deviation range between the calculated amplitudes and the set amplitudes of the two waveforms were 0.08-0.94 mm, with relative deviations of 1.1%-6.3%. In the rotation motion mode, the fitted amplitudes deviated from the set amplitudes by 0-0.61 mm, with relative deviations of 0%-6.2%. And the deviation range between the calculated amplitudes and the set amplitudes were 0.16-0.94 mm, with relative deviations of 0%-6.3%. In the actual respiratory waveform motion mode, the deviation range between the calculated amplitudes and the set amplitudes were 0.10-0.48 mm, with relative deviations of 2.2%-8.6%.Conclusion:TrueFISP cine sequences show minimal deviations in determining the range of tumor head-foot motion and effectively captures the tumor's movement state, thereby providing important support for the precise definition of the tumor movement target area during radiotherapy .

Abstract: Objective　To explore the early diagnostic value of peripheral blood peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) combined with γ-interferon (IFN-γ) release assay (IGRA) in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods　From January 2019 to December 2021, 70 ESRD patients with suspicious symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis were treated at Hebei Chest Hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the examination results, they were divided into ESRD group (40 cases) and ESRD complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis (40 cases, comorbidity group). In addition, 40 cases with pulmonary tuberculosis were used as the PTB group. All three groups of patients underwent IGRA test, and the peripheral blood PPARγ level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the diagnostic value of PPARγ combined with IGRA test for ESRD patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was explored. Results The expression level of PPARγ and IFN-γ content in the PTB group and the comorbidity group were obviously higher than those in the ESRD group (P<0.05), while the differences in PPARγ expression level and IFN-γ content between the PTB and comorbidity groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The ROC curve showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) of PPARγ and IGRA in the diagnosis of end-stage renal disease combined with tuberculosis were 0.823 (95%CI: 0.722-0.925) and 0.773 (95%CI: 0.662-0.883), respectively, and the AUC of combined detection was 0.928 (95%CI: 0.871-0.984), which was better than that of PPARγ and IGRA alone (Z/P=2.057/0.039, 2.843/0.005). The Kappa values of serum PPARγ and IGRA test compared with the clinical gold standard results in the diagnosis of ESRD complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis were 0.557 and 0.444 (P<0.05). The combined screening of ESRD with pulmonary tuberculosis was consistent with the clinical gold standard (Kappa=0.661, P<0.05). Among the 30 ESRD patients complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, the sensitivity of PPARγ combined with IGRA test in diagnosis of ESRD complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis was 93.33% (28/30), which was higher than 70.00% (21/30) of PPARγ and 66.67% (20/30) of IGRA test alone (P<0.05). Conclusions Peripheral blood PPARγ and IGRA tests have certain diagnostic value for ESRD complicated with tuberculosis, and the combined detection of the two can improve the sensitivity and reduce the rate of missed diagnosis, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of ceftazidime and avibactam sodium （CAZ/AVI） in the treatment of carbapenem-resistant organism （CRO） infection. METHODS The information of patients with CRO infection admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2019 to March 2022 was collected， and the patients were retrospectively divided into observation group （48 cases） and control group （48 cases） according to the treatment plan. The control group was given Polycolistin B sulfate for injection intravenously at a dose of 500 000 U every 12 hours； no dose adjustment was performed in patients with renal insufficiency or receiving continuous renal replacement therapy （CRRT）. The observation group was given continuous micropump of CAZ/AVI for injection intravenously at a dose of 2.5 g every 8 hours for 2 continous hours； among them， the patients with renal insufficiency received an adjusted dose based on creatinine clearance， and no dose adjustment was performed in patients receiving CRRT. The clinical efficacy and microbiological efficacy as well as body temperature， white blood cell （WBC）， C-reactive protein （CRP） and procalcitonin （PCT） before and after treatment were compared between 2 groups. The prognosis and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were recorded. The factors influencing the clinical efficacy were screened by Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The effective rate and microbial clearance rate of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， body temperature， PCT and CRP of 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment， and CRP of the observation group was significantly lower than the control （No.SDFEYJLC2105） group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant differencebetween the two groups in terms of rehabilitation discharge rate， the proportion of patients transferred to general wards，the proportion of dead patients， and the total incidence ofadverse drug reactions （P＞0.05）. CAZ/AVI and prolonging therapy duration were more likely to achieve clinical benefits （odds ratios of 1.146， 7.707，P＜0.05）， while lung infection and CRRT may be independent risk factors for treatment failure （odds ratios of 0.182， 0.236， P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS CAZ/AVI has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of CRO infection， the appropriate extension of antibacterial treatment time can achieve a higher clinical response rate， while lung infection or CRRT may lead to treatment failure.

The process of semen collection plays a key role in the quality of semen specimens. However, the association between semen collection time and semen quality is still unclear. In this study, ejaculates by masturbation from 746 subfertile men or healthy men who underwent semen analysis were examined. The median (interquartile range) semen collection time for all participants was 7.0 (5.0-11.0) min, and the median time taken for semen collection was lower in healthy men than that in subfertile men (6.0 min vs 7.0 min). An increase in the time required to produce semen samples was associated with poorer semen quality. Among those undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), the miscarriage rate was positively correlated with the semen collection time. After adjusting for confounders, the highest quartile (Q4) of collection time was negatively associated with semen volume and sperm concentration. A longer time to produce semen samples (Q3 and Q4) was negatively correlated with progressive and total sperm motility. In addition, there was a significant negative linear association between the semen collection time and the sperm morphology. Higher risks of asthenozoospermia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-3.25, P = 0.002) and teratozoospermia (adjusted OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.10-3.55, P = 0.02) were observed in Q3 than those in Q1. Our results indicate that a higher risk of abnormal semen parameter values was associated with an increase in time for semen collection, which may be related to male fertility through its association with semen quality.
