There are difficulties in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in medical community. Since the surgery of cervical deep lymphatic vessel/lymphatic node-vein anastomosis (LVA/LnVA) has made clinical improvement in patients with AD, it offers a surgical option to treat AD. Especially improvements in cognitive impairment. However the mechanism in treatment of AD is not yet made clear. This article preliminarily explores the mechanism in improvement of some symptoms in patients with AD through cervical deep LVA/LnVA on the basis of morphological characteristics of the cribriform plate-cervical lymphatic pathway.

Objective:To develop and design a during-treatment records auto-review program to comply the quality assurance(QA)requirement of radiotherapy chart auditing,and thereby improve the review efficiency and accuracy.Methods:Based on the items the guideline required,the Aria Oncology Information System database backup files was analyzed by Java,Vue,and etc.languages and the corresponding review logic was formulated.A total of 530 treatment records generated at Shanghai Concord Cancer Center from January to March 2024(10 weeks)were auto-reviewed and compared with the manual results for evaluating the accuracy and efficiency of the program.Results:The auto-review program was running smoothly.Overall with the above data,the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and the error-miss rate were 73.4%,14.3%,87.7%and 12.3%respectively.For sub-set items,the source-skin distance(SSD)error detecting rate was 100%,the wrong session reporting was 100%correlated with the plans switching and the wrong fraction reporting was 100%related to plan revision.For the other items,auto and manual reviews gave out the same accuracy.Conclusion:The none-error results from the program are all true,so the manual rechecking could limit to those auto-review error records,which can reduce the workload by 73.4%,therefore improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the radiotherapy data review.

Objective Based on the background of disease diagnosis related groups(DRGs)in public hospitals to construct the nursing quality evaluation index system for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA)of liver cancer so as to improve the nursing quality for PRFA of liver cancer.Methods Using three-dimensional quality model and through interview,literature analysis,two rounds of Delphi expert letter inquiry and analytic hierarchy process,the evaluation standard of PRFA nursing quality of liver cancer was established,and its effect was validated in clinical practice.Results The evaluation index system of PRFA nursing quality for liver cancer was constructed,which included 3 first-level indexes,9 second-level indexes and 22 third-level indexes.After clinical application,the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative moderate-severe pain,the incidence of high fever,and the 24-hour number of times required care in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the incidence of postoperative Ⅲ degree vomiting in the intervention group was remarkably lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01),and the average hospitalization days in the intervention group were less than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and the average hospitalization expense in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The PRFA nursing quality evaluation index system for liver cancer is scientific and practical,which is helpful for improving the outcome of patients and promoting the quality of nursing.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of immunomodulatory effects of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UC-MSCs)modified by miR-125b-5p on systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods:The expression level of miR-125b-5p was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in UC-MSCs and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)from SLE patients and health checkers.Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit was used to detect the effect of miR-125b-5p on apoptosis of UC-MSCs.MRL/lpr mice in each group were injected with UC-MSCs via tail vein,and T-lymphocyte subsets in the spleen of the MRL/lpr mice were detected by flow cytometry after 5 weeks.The expression levels of interleukin(IL)-4 and IL-17A in serum of MRL/lpr mice were detected by ELISA.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological manifestations of the lungs and kidneys of the MRL/lpr mice.Results:miR-125b-5p was significantly down-regulated in PBMCs of SLE patients compared with healthy controls(P＜0.01).Compared with the UC-MSCs group,the expression of miR-125b-5p in UC-MSCs modified by miR-125b-5p group was increased(P＜0.01).The survival rate of UC-MSCs was significantly increased by miR-125b-5p(P＜0.01).Compared with the untreated group of MRL/lpr mice,the expression level of IL-4 in serum was increased(P＜0.05);the expression level of IL-17A was decreased(P＜0.05);the proportion of Th17 cells in the spleen of MRL/lpr mice was decreased(P＜0.05);the inflammatory cells infiltration and micro-thrombosis of lungs and kidneys of MRL/lpr mice were significantly reduced in the UC-MSCs modified by miR-125b-5p treatment group.Conclusion:UC-MSCs modified by miR-125b-5p have immunomodulatory effects on systemic lupus erythematosus.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome types and influencing factors of protein-energy wasting （PEW） in chronic kidney disease （CKD） undergoing maintenance hemodialysis （MHD）. MethodsAccording to diagnostic criteria， 164 patients with MHD were divided into PEW group and non-PEW group. The clinical data of all patients were collected， including general information such as gender， age， height and weight， disease characteristics such as course， cormobidity， and haemodialysis duration， laboratory indicators such as blood routine， liver function， renal function， electrolyte， blood lipid， grip strength， and the four examinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to find the influencing factors of PEW by taking the clinical indicators with significant differences between the two groups （P＜0.05） as the independent variables， diagnosis of PEW as the dependent variable， and normal values as the reference. ResultsOut of 164 patients with MHD， there were 96 （58.5%） cases in PEW group and 68 cases （41.5%） in non-PEW group. Compared to the non-PEW group，PEW group had increased age， ratios of bedrest， deep vein preservation， edema， and low grip strength， percentages of comorbidities type 2 diabetes， cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases，infections and anemia， and levels of alanine aminotransferase and permine amin aminotransferase， as well as decreased body mass index， self-care ratio，internal arteriovenous fistula， red blood cell count， hemoglobin， serum total protein， serum albumin levels （P＜0.05）. The PEW group had significantly higher frequency of poor appetite and digestion， abdominal distension， fear of cold and preference of warmth， weak breathing and fatigue， poor appetite， oliguria， nausea and vomiting than non-PEW group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of both yin and yang deficiency syndrome and damp-turbidity syndrome were significantly higher in the PEW group than the non-PEW group， while that of liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome and stirring of wind syndrome were lower （P＜0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that low BMI （＜22 kg/m²）， inability to take care of oneself， low grip strength，low serum albumin （＜38 g/L）， infection， older age， fear of cold and cold limbs，and poor appetite were the risk factors of PEW in patients undergoing MHD （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe root syndrome of MHD-PEW patients is both yin and yang deficiency， concurrent with damp-turbidity syndrome. Low BMI， low serum albumin， infection and older age may be the influencing factors of PEW in patients undergoing MHD.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality. In this study, we demonstrated a novel vaccine targeting HCC and tumor neovascular endothelial cells by fusing recombinant MHCC97H cells expressing porcine α-1,3-galactose epitopes (αGal) and endorphin extracellular domains (END) with dendritic cells (DCs) from healthy volunteers. END⁺/Gal⁺-MHCC97H/DC fusion cells induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). CTLs targeted cells expressing αGal and END and tumor angiogenesis. The fused cell vaccine can effectively inhibit tumor growth and prolong the survival time of human hepatoma mice, indicating the high clinical potential of this new cell based vaccine.
