Objective:To explore and analyze the efficacy of preoperative intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing bleeding and alleviating early postoperative pain in elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures (PHF) who underwent minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) approach with open reduction and locking plate internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 165 elderly patients with partial or partial PHF who underwent open reduction and locking plate internal fixation via MIPO approach at the Yixing People′s Hospital from June 2018 to June 2021. According to whether TXA was used intravenously 30 minutes before surgery, patients were divided into a TXA group (77 cases) and a control group (88 cases). The surgical time, hemoglobin decrease, total blood loss (TBL), intraoperative blood loss (IBL), postoperative drainage volume, visible blood loss (VBL), hidden blood loss (HBL), blood transfusion status, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for surgical site pain 24 hours after surgery, postoperative hospital stay, shoulder Constant-Murley function score at 1 and 3 months after surgery, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:The TBL, VBL, IBL, HBL, postoperative drainage volume, hemoglobin decrease, transfusion rate, postoperative VAS score at the surgical site, and hospital stay in the TXA group were all lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The VAS score at the surgical site 24 hours after surgery was positively correlated with TBL and HBL in two groups of patients ( r=0.402, 0.418, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the TXA group had a higher shoulder Constant-Murley function score at 1 month after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002). There was no statistically significant difference in shoulder Constant-Murley function score and incidence of complications between the two groups at 3 months after surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For elderly patients with partial or partial PHF who underwent open reduction and locking plate internal fixation using MIPO approach, intravenous infusion of TXA 30 minutes before surgery can help alleviate postoperative pain at the surgical site, reduce intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, lower transfusion rates, shorten hospital stay, and do not increase the incidence of complications such as incision abnormalities and thrombosis, which is beneficial for promoting early and rapid recovery of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion.Methods:This study is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical and pathological data of 495 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in Department of General Surgery, the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University from October 2012 to October 2018 was analyzed retrospectively. There were 356 males and 139 females with an age ( M(IQR)) of 59 (16) years (range: 18 to 75 years). Observation indicators included postoperative results and long-term prognosis. The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. Results:Among the 495 patients, a total of 57 patients (11.5%) were lost to follow-up, with a follow-up time of 89 (40) months (range: 23 to 134 months). The 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) were 56.0% and 58.2%, respectively. The 5-year DFS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 60.5%, 51.6%, 33.3%, respectively. The 5-year OS for patients with stage ⅡB, ⅢA, ⅢB, ⅢC were 71.2%, 62.2%, 54.1%, 39.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age >65 years (DFS: HR=1.402, 95% CI: 1.022 to 1.922, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.461, 95% CI: 1.057 to 2.019, P=0.022), lymph node dissection number less than 25 (DFS: HR=1.348, 95% CI: 1.019 to 1.779, P=0.036; OS: HR=1.376, 95% CI: 1.035 to 1.825, P=0.028), pathological stage Ⅲ (DFS: HR=2.131, 95% CI: 1.444 to 3.144, P<0.01; OS: HR=2.079, 95% CI: 1.406 to 3.074, P<0.01), and no postoperative chemotherapy (DFS: HR=3.127, 95% CI: 2.377 to 4.113, P<0.01; OS: HR=3.768, 95% CI: 2.828 to 5.020, P<0.01) were independent prognostic factors for the decrease in DFS and OS rates. Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer with serosa-invasion could achieve satisfactory long-term oncological outcomes. More lymph node dissection and standardized postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy are expected to further improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with serous invasion after laparoscopic radical surgery.

Objective To investigate the expression of multi-glycan in serum of patients with dual-phenotype hepatocellular (DPHCC) and its clinical significance. Methods Serum samples were collected from 65 patients with DPHCC, 80 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and 120 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) who were treated in Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2019 to December 2020. DNA sequencer-aided fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis was used to measure the expression of N-glycan in serum, The measurement data of normal distribution were compared by t -test between the two groups and analysis of variance between multiple groups; The measurement data with non normal distribution were compared by Mann-Whitney U test between the two groups and Kruskal-Wallis H test between multiple groups, the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The logistic regression method was used to establish the common index model. The efficacy of AFP, PIVKA - Ⅱ, CEA, CA19-9 and multi glycan in the diagnosis of DPHCC was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was compared by Z test. Results There was a significant difference in multi-glycan between the DPHCC group and the HCC group ( P < 0.001), while there were no significant differences in AFP, PIVKA-Ⅱ, CEA, CA19-9, and SUM between the two groups ( P =0.924, 0.084, 0.442, 0.924, and 0.206). Multi-glycan had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.775, which was significantly higher than that of AFP (0.507), PIVKA-Ⅱ (0.584), CEA (0.537), CA19-9 (0.505), and SUM (0.561), and multi-glycan had a sensitivity of 69.23%, which was increased compared with the other 5 items. There were significant differences in multi-glycan, AFP, PIVKA-Ⅱ, CA19-9, and SUM between the DPHCC group and the LC group (all P < 0.001), but there was no significant difference in CEA between the two groups ( P =0.14). Multi-glycan had an AUC of 0.780, which was also higher than that of AFP (0.767), PIVKA-Ⅱ (0.743), CEA (0.566), CA19-9 (0.689), and SUM (0.713), and multi-glycan had a sensitivity of 89.23%, which was increased compared with the other five items. Conclusion Multi-glycan can be used as one of the indicators for the auxiliary diagnosis of DPHCC.

Objective:To investigate disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy, in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and nursing of children with cerebral palsy.Methods:Using the phenomenological method of qualitative research, a total of 12 primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy were selected from the outpatient and inpatient wards of Department of Child Rehabilitation in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University/Yuying Children's Hospital from October 2020 to February 2021 by the purposive sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the feelings of the primary caregivers when their children were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, how their thoughts changed during care and what coping methods they adopted. Colaizzi 7-step content analysis was used to analyze the collected text data.Results:The disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy was mainly reflected in self-growth (cultivating healthy behaviors, learning to face and accept reality and enhancing emotional regulation), positive prospects for future life (cherishing the present and re-planning life, looking at things from a positive perspective, strengthening beliefs and regaining hope), improvement of interpersonal relationships (closer husband and wife relationship, more harmonious relationship between family members, feeling the care of medical staff and support and understanding from peers) and diversified social support (crowdfunding platforms provided by social welfare projects, government subsidy) .Conclusions:The disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy is mainly manifested in four aspects, including self-growth, changes in life attitudes, improvement of interpersonal relationships and social support. Medical staff can carry out psychological interventions for the main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy from the above four aspects, relieve their negative emotions, improve their psychological adjustment capabilities and enhance their disease benefit finding.

Objective:To explore the role of Grx2 in the pathogenesis of cataract by establishing Grx2 knockout (KO) and knockin (KI) mouse models. Methods:Ten black C57BL/6J mice were selected to make Grx2 KO model ( n=5) and Grx2 KI model ( n=5) using CRISPR/Cas9 system.The offspring mice were sequenced by tail clipping and included in the corresponding experimental group according to the genotype.The general condition and lens opacity was recorded.After the mice were sacrificed, the pathological changes of lens were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 8-hydroxy-desoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The relative expression levels of Grx2, glutathione (GSH), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) , glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) in mice lens were assayed.The use and feeding of experimental animals were in accordance with the Regulations on the Management of Experimental Animals issued by the State Science and Technology Commission.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (No.2020-125). Results:The offspring of Grx2 KO and Grx2 KI homozygous and heterozygous mice were confirmed by tail cutting nested PCR and gene sequencing.Compared with the wild type (WT) mice of same age, the lens opacity of Grx2 KO heterozygous mice occurred earlier, while the lens of Grx2 KI homozygous mice remained transparent all the time.A large number of gaps and vacuoles were found in the lens fibers of 5-month-old Grx2 KO mice.The 8-OHdG content and ROS fluorescence intensity in the lens of 5-month-old Grx2 KO mice were (3.886±0.326)ng/ml and 1 594±132, which were significantly higher than (3.531±0.250)ng/ml and 1 157±123 in WT mice ( t=2.711, P=0.033; t=3.384, P=0.028).The relative expression levels of Grx2, GSH and Bcl-2 in the lens of 5-month-old Grx2 KO mice were 0.23±0.01, 0.70±0.06 and 0.32±0.03, which were significantly lower than 0.52±0.02, 1.04±0.08 and 0.49±0.04 of WT mice ( t=2.815, P=0.020; t=2.457, P=0.033; t=2.279, P=0.041). Conclusions:Grx2 KO and Grx2 KI mouse models are successfully established in this study.The occurrence and development of age-related cataract are accelerated in Grx2 KO mice.
