Objective To introduce the causes of accidents and the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with radiation-induced skin injury admitted to our hospital in 2023, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of subsequent radiation-induced skin injury. Methods The clinical treatment process of two patients with acute skin injury caused by external radiation exposure were summarized and analyzed. Results The exposure history of the two patients was reconstructed, the flaw detection scenario was simulated, the biological dose and hand skin exposure dose were estimated, and the infrared thermal imaging device was used for dynamic monitoring. A comprehensive analysis was conducted based on clinical manifestations and other data. The diagnosis of “Xie” was excessive exposure combined with acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade IV for the right hand palm, index finger, and middle finger and Grade II for the left hand little finger). The diagnosis of “Hao” was acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade I). The two patients received different clinical treatment measures: “Xie” was treated with both local and systemic therapies, while “Hao” was mainly treated with systemic therapy. Conclusion After systematic and effective treatment, the radiation-induced skin injuries healed in both patients.

BACKGROUND:Lijin manipulation can promote skeletal muscle repair and treat skeletal muscle injury.However,the formation of fibrosis and scar tissue hyperplasia are closely related to the quality of skeletal muscle repair.To study the regulatory effect of Lijin manipulation on the formation of fibrosis and scar tissue hyperplasia is helpful to explain the related mechanism of Lijin manipulation to improve the repair quality of skeletal muscle injury. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of Lijin manipulation to improve the repair quality of skeletal muscle injury in rabbits,thereby providing a scientific basis for clinical treatment. METHODS:Forty-five healthy adult Japanese large-ear white rabbits were randomly divided into blank group,model group and Lijin group,with 15 rats in each group.Gastrocnemius strike modeling was performed in both model group and Lijin group.The Lijin group began to intervene with tendon manipulation on the 3rd day after modeling,once a day,and 15 minutes at a time.Five animals in each group were killed on the 7th,14th and 21st days after modeling.The morphology and inflammatory cell count of gastrocnemius were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,the collagen fiber amount was observed by Masson staining,the expression of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in gastrocnemius was detected by ELISA.The protein and mRNA expressions of paired cassette gene 7,myogenic differentiation factor,myoblastogenin,alpha-actin,transforming growth factor beta 1,and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by western blot and RT-PCR,respectively,and the expression of type Ⅰ collagen protein was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining showed that compared with the model group,inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber content decreased in the Lijin group(P<0.01),and the muscle fibers gradually healed.ELISA results showed that compared with the model group,the expression of interleukin-6 in the Lijin group continued to decrease(P<0.05),and the expression of interleukin-10 increased on the 7th day after modeling(P<0.05)and then showed a decreasing trend(P<0.05).Western blot and RT-PCR results showed that compared with the model group,the protein and mRNA expressions of paired cassette gene 7,myogenic differentiation factor,myoblastogenin in the Lijin group were significantly increased on the 14th day after modeling(P<0.05),but decreased on the 21st day(P<0.05);the protein and mRNA expressions of alpha-actin,transforming growth factor beta 1,and type Ⅰ collagen in the Lijin group were significantly decreased compared with those in the model group(P<0.05).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of type Ⅰ collagen in the Lijin group was significantly lower than that in the model group(P<0.05).To conclude,Lijin manipulation could improve the repair quality of skeletal muscle injury by inhibiting inflammation,promoting the proliferation and differentiation of muscle satellite cells,and reducing fibrosis.

[Objective]To clarify the associations between plasma fibrinogen(Fbg)and volumetric bone mineral density(vBMD)as well as osteoporosis measured by quantitative computed tomography(QCT),and to explore the role of plasma Fbg in early screening and diagnosis of osteoporosis.[Methods]Patients with hypertension who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2018 to June 2022 and underwent QCT examinations were included for cross-sectional analysis.The study analyzed the correlation between plasma Fbg and osteoporosis in patients.The diagnostic efficacy of plasma Fbg for osteoporosis was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC).[Results]Totally 441 subjects were included in the analysis,with an average age of 46.0±14.5 years and a prevalence of osteoporosis of 6.4%(28/441).As the level of plasma fibrinogen increased,the incidence of osteoporosis significantly increased(P<0.000 1)while the average bone mineral density of L1 and L2 were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the first quartile of plasma Fbg(1.99g/L-2.37g/L),the risk of osteoporosis in the fourth quartile of plasma Fbg(3.67g/L-4.46g/L)increased by 8.85 times after adjusting for related confounding factors.[Conclusion]This study found a negative correlation between plasma fibrinogen levels and bone density in patients with hypertension.Plasma fibrinogen levels may serve as a potential screening indicator for osteoporosis,aiding in early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring.This discovery offers a new perspective for the study of bone metabolic diseases and warrants further investigation.

BACKGROUND:Lijin manipulation can reduce fibrosis scar hyperplasia and promote skeletal muscle repair.However,improper activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway can aggravate the fibrosis of injured skeletal muscle and adversely affect the repair process of skeletal muscle.To study the regulatory effect of Lijin manipulation on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is conducive to elucidate the related mechanisms of Lijin manipulation in reducing fibrosis scar hyperplasia and promoting skeletal muscle injury repair.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of Lijin manipulation in promoting the repair of skeletal muscle injury in rabbits.METHODS:Forty-five healthy adult Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into blank group,model group and Lijin group with 15 rabbits in each group.Gastrocnemius muscle percussion modeling was performed in both model group and Lijin group.Lijin manipulation was performed in the Lijin group on the 3rd day after modeling,once a day,15 minutes once.Five animals in each group were selected and killed on the 7th,14th and 21st days after modeling.The general morphological structure of gastrocnemius was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and the content of collagen fiber was observed by Masson staining.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Wnt3a,β-catenin,GSK3β,p-GSK3β,TCF,type I collagen and type III collagen in gastrocnemius muscle,and RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Wnt3a,β-catenin and TCF.The expression of β-catenin was detected by immunofluorescence,and the expression of type I collagen and type III collagen was detected by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining showed that compared with the model group,inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber amount decreased in the Lijin group(P<0.001),and muscle fibers gradually healed.Western blot results showed that compared with the model group,the protein expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin,TCF,type I collagen and type III collagen were significantly decreased in the Lijin group at all observation time points(P<0.05),while the ratio of P-GSK3β/GSK3β was significantly increased in the Lijin group at all observation time points compared with the model group(P<0.05).RT-PCR results showed that compared with the model group,the mRNA expression levels of Wnt3a,β-catenin and TCF were significantly decreased in the Lijin group at all observation time points(P<0.001).Immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the model group,the fluorescence intensity of β-catenin expression in the Lijin group was significantly decreased at each observation time point and gradually became similar to that in the blank group(P<0.001).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression levels of type I collagen and type III collagen in the Lijin group were significantly lower than those in the model group(P<0.01).To conclude,Lijin manipulation could inhibit the abnormal activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,reduce fibrotic scar hyperplasia,and promote the repair of injured skeletal muscle.

BACKGROUND:Excessive apoptosis in skeletal muscle cells will destroy the dynamic balance of the number of myocytes,leading to pathological injury of skeletal muscle.Lijin manipulation is effective in treating skeletal muscle injury,but whether it can inhibit apoptosis and promote the repair of skeletal muscle injury is unknown.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism by which Lijin manipulation reduces inflammation and apoptosis during the repair of skeletal muscle injury in rabbits.METHODS:Forty-five healthy adult Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into blank group,model group and Lijin group(n=15 per group).No intervention was performed in the blank group.Gastrocnemius muscle percussion molding was performed in both the model group and Lijin group.After modeling,the model group was not treated,while the Lijin manipulation(Stroking,kneading,and rubbing)was performed in the Lijin group on the 3rd day,once a day,15 min/time.Sampling in each group was performed on the 7th,14th and 21st days after modeling.The general morphological structure of gastrocnemius was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The ultrastructure of gastrocnemius muscle was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Apoptosis of gastrocnemius cells was observed by TUNEL staining.The expressions of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in gastrocnemius muscle were detected by ELISA.The protein expressions of BAX,BCL-2 and Caspase3 in gastrocnemius muscle were detected by western blot.The mRNA expression of BAX and BCL-2 was detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that compared with the model group,inflammatory cells decreased in number,myocyte amount increased,and muscle tissue gradually healed in the Lijin group at each observation point.(2)The results of transmission electron microscopy showed that compared with the model group,the arrangement of muscle fibers at each observation point in the Lijin group was gradually orderly,mitochondria were gradually complete,Z-line arrangement was gradually regular,and free ribosomes were gathered.(3)TUNEL staining results showed that compared with the model group,apoptosis rate in the Lijin group was gradually decreased at all observation points(P<0.05).(4)ELISA results showed that compared with the model group,the expression of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 in the Lijin group continued to decrease(P<0.05),while the expression of interleukin-10 increased on the 7th day after modeling,and then showed a downward trend(P<0.05).(5)Western blot results showed that compared with the model group,the expression of BCL-2 protein/BAX protein in the Lijin group was significantly increased at each observational point(P<0.05).The protein expression of Caspase3 decreased significantly(P<0.001),and was gradually similar to that of the blank group.(6)RT-PCR results showed that compared with the model group,the mRNA expression level of BCL-2/BAX in the Lijin group was significantly higher at each observational point(P<0.05).To conclude,Lijin manipulation can inhibit inflammation,reduce apoptosis,and promote the repair of injured skeletal muscle.

With the extended survival period of breast cancer patients and the increasing health demands, the concomitant diseases of breast cancer have gradually attracted the attention of both doctors and patients, and it is imperative to conduct comprehensive management of these diseases, in which the general practitioners, as the more comprehensive and complex medical talents, have not yet played their due roles. In this article, we report two cases of comprehensive management of concomitant diseases of breast cancer through collaboration of general practitioners and specialists (integrated general and specialist care). The role and function of general practitioners in this process were deeply analyzed, and the establishment of a consultation-liaison general practice model to further promote the role of integrated general and specialist care in integrated oncology care was advocated.

With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment level, most breast cancer patients survive in a chronic state for a long time, and the issue of concomitant diseases of breast cancer (CDBC) has become increasingly prominent. All-round and full-cycle management of these comorbidities can help improve patients’ quality of life and prognosis. General practice, with its long-term, comprehensive and responsible health care that is person-centered, family-based, community-wide and oriented to the maintenance and promotion of overall health, presents new opportunities for the health management of CDBC. This article will explore the application of consultation-liaison general practice through the integrated general and specialist care in the comprehensive management of CDBC, aiming to raise people’s awareness of it and promote the development of consultation-liaison general practice and the management model of the "Internet plus general practitioner team" , which will surely contribute to the all-round management of concomitant diseases in breast cancer patients.
