Nausea and vomiting symptoms can exacerbate physical and psychological burdens, potentially leading to aversion and reduced treatment adherence. This paper analyzes and summarizes delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric cancer patients, covering overview, influencing factors, assessment tools, and non-pharmacological interventions, aiming to provide insights for clinical prevention and intervention strategies targeting delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric patients.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong medication and long-term management. The longer the duration of the disease, the more likely it is to lead to progressive chronic complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nervous system, and cardiovascular system. These complications may result in gradual functional decline or even organ failure, and may also trigger severe acute metabolic disorders. The cumulative financial burden on patients and their families can be substantial, giving rise to what is known as financial toxicity, which in turn may negatively affect patients' health outcomes. This review comprehensively explores the concept of financial toxicity in diabetic patients, including its assessment tools, influencing factors, and coping strategies. It also offers targeted suggestions aimed at informing the development of more scientific and effective systemic interventions, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with diabetes.

Objective To examine and compare the effect of personalized progressive aerobic-exercise and resistance-training prescriptions on anxiety of undergraduates.Methods This was a randomized controlled trial.Sixty-six undergraduates with anxiety were recruited and randomized into an aerobic ex-ercise(AE)group,a resistance exercise(RE)group and a control group,each of 22.The aerobic and resistance exercise groups underwent 12-week aerobic and resistance exercise respectively,while the control group only received health education.Before as well as after 4-,8-and 12-week interven-tion,and 4 weeks after the intervention,all groups were evaluated using Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Chinese College Students Mental Health Scale--Anxiety Subscale(CCSMHS-AS).More-over,before and 16 weeks after the intervention,all groups were assessed physical activity(PA)us-ing the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form(IPAQ-SF).Results The average SAS scores of the AE and RE groups decreased significantly from 6.95±6.32 and 56.41±5.45 before the intervention to 38.29±5.82 and 41.18±7.51 after 12-week exercise,while the average CC-SMHS-AS score decreased significantly from 20.00±5.66 and 19.41±3.70,to 13.18±4.81 and 14.32±4.16 during the same period of time(P<0.01 for all).Four weeks after the intervention,the SAS score of the AE group was significantly higher than 4 weeks earlier(49.18±11.84 vs.38.29±5.82,P<0.01),while that of the RE group increased without significant differences compared with 4 weeks earlier(42.50±9.57 vs.41.18±7.51,P>0.05),with the value of both groups significantly lower than right after the intervention(P<0.01,P<0.05).In the control group,the SAS score de-creased significantly from 55.73±5.27 before the intervention to 47.09±5.55 right after the interven-tion,and further to 46.95±9.70 4 weeks later(P<0.05),but no significant differences were ob-served in the CCSMHS-AS score(P>0.05).Meanwhile,right after the intervention,the average SAS scores of the AE and RE groups were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05),without significant differences among the three groups 4 weeks after the intervention(P>0.05).The CC-SMHS-AS scores of AE group right after and 4 weeks after the intervention were significantly higher than the control group(P<0.01),but no significant differences were found in it between either the AE and RE group,or the RE and control group(P>0.05).Besides,the PA levels of the AE and RE groups 4 weeks after the intervention were significantly higher than before the intervention,while no significant changes were observed in the PA level of the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion Twelve-week personalized progressive aerobic-exercise and resistance-training prescriptions both result in a similar effect on relieving anxiety and improving spontaneous PA of college students.However,the prognosis of aerobic exercise is poorer than the other.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of digital technology-assisted debridement and bone and soft tissue reconstruction in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 38 patients (26 males, 12 females; mean age 45.61±18.36 years, range 16-83 years) with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis complicated by soft tissue defects in the tibia, treated at the Department of Orthopaedics, Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital between June 2021 and June 2023. There were 18 cases of traffic accidents, 6 cases of high-altitude falls, 6 cases of heavy objects and 6 cases of low-energy falls. Lesion sites: 12 cases in the upper segment of the tibia, 12 cases in the middle segment, and 14 cases in the lower segment. According to the Cierny-Mader classification, there were 24 cases of type III and 14 cases of type IV. Before the operation, the "3D point cloud technology" was used to plan the debridement range of bone and soft tissue. During the operation, the optical navigation system was used to monitor the debridement range in real time. The flap was designed by combining "Reading Tablet Treasure" with CT angiography, and the amount of bone graft was predicted by AI algorithm. The surgical method adopted is the Masquelet technique, namely thorough debridement, bone cement occupation and soft tissue repair in the first stage, and bone reconstruction in the second stage. Comparing the calculated bone defect amount and soft tissue defect area before the operation with the actual measured values after debridement. The cure rate of infection was evaluated by using the McKee bone infection treatment criteria after the operation. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) were used to evaluate the improvement of the quality of life of postoperative patients.Results:38 patients were followed up with a mean follow-up of 13.53±2.37 months. 37 patients' infections were effectively controlled, and 1 patient had a recurrence of infection, with an effectiveness rate of 97% for the treatment of McKee's infections. The preoperative calculated bone defect amount and soft tissue defect area were 51.05±26.31 cm 3 and 68.42±43.45 cm 2 respectively, and the actual measured values after debridement during the operation were 51.66±26.35 cm 3 and 68.82±43.76 cm 2 respectively. There was no statistically significant difference before and after the operation ( P>0.05). The interval between the first and second stage surgeries was 10.36±1.61 weeks, and all flaps survived after the first stage surgery. Two months after the operation, one case had recurrent osteomyelitis. After palliative treatment, sinus tracts were formed at the infection site. At the 12-month regular dressing change follow-up, there were still purulent secretions in the sinus tracts. There was no recurrence of infection after primary debridement in 37 cases, and the bone grafts healed. The bone healing time was 3.58±0.97 months. The postoperative VAS, LEFS, and SAS scores were 1.00±0.91, 66.68±7.91, and 34.30±4.29, respectively, which were significantly improved compared with the preoperative scores of 7.54±1.52, 21.22±4.29, and 52.70±6.74, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of digital technology to precisely design the debridement range of bone and soft tissue, and the real-time holographic visualization monitoring of the debridement range during the operation can achieve precise debridement of bone and soft tissue and personalized and precise repair of soft tissue defects. It is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS).Methods:A retrospective review was conducted on 12 patients who underwent robot-assisted LPS for benign splenic lesions at the Department of General Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, between January 2021 and August 2024. Among the patients, 5 were males and 7 were females, aged 35(21, 58) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and other related indicators, as well as postoperative complications and follow-up conditions were reviewed.Results:Robot-assisted LPS was successfully performed in all patients, with no conversions to open surgery, achieving a 100% spleen preservation rate (12/12). The operative time was (168.92±44.64) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 75 (50, 175) ml, with no intraoperative blood transfusions required. The duration of postoperative drainage tube placement was (3.92±1.44) d, and the postoperative hospital stay was (5.33±1.07) d. No complications, such as bleeding, surgical site effusion, or pancreatic fistula occurred in the 12 patients. Minimal pleural effusion was observed in four cases, which required no special treatment. All patients were followed up for at least 6 months. During the follow-up period, there were no occurrences of portal vein thrombosis, overwhelming post-splenectomy infection, recurrent thrombocytosis, or disease recurrence.Conclusion:Robot-assisted LPS is a safe and feasible surgical approach for benign splenic lesions, demonstrating favorable outcomes.

Objective:To measure pancreatic fat deposition by magnetic resonance chemical shift imaging (CSI), and analyze the correlation between pancreatic fat deposition and pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 55 patients who underwent PD in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2021 to April 2024. Among them, 34 were male (61.8%) and 21 were female (38.2%), with the age of (63.5±12.0) years. The 55 patients included 17 cases (30.9%) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case (1.8%) of pancreatic serous cystadenoma, 2 cases (3.6%) of pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, 1 case (1.8%) of pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor, 11 cases (20.0%) of ampullary carcinoma, 10 cases (18.2%) of common bile duct carcinoma, and 13 cases of other pathological types (such as high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of the ampullary gland, duodenal adenocarcinoma, etc.) (23.6%). Before the operation, pancreatic fat deposition was measured by CSI and the fat fraction was calculated. With a fat fraction of 6.2% as the cut-off value, 55 patients were divided into the normal pancreas group (fat fraction ≤ 6.2%, n=29) and the fat pancreas group (fat fraction > 6.2%, n=26). The total hospitalization cost, postoperative hospital stay, biochemical leakage, grade B pancreatic fistula of the two groups were compared, and the correlation between pancreatic fat fraction and pancreatic fistula was analyzed. Result:The total hospitalization cost in the normal pancreas group was (91 527.3±19 118.4) yuan, and the postoperative hospital stay was 9.0 (8.0, 13.0) days, both of which were lower than those in the fatty pancreas group (107 772.4 ± 27 055.6) yuan and 11.0 (8.0, 22.0) days, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.59, P=0.012; Z=-2.08, P=0.038). In the normal pancreas group, 8 cases (27.6%) of biochemical leakage and 1 case (3.4%) of grade B pancreatic fistula occurred after the operation. In the fat pancreas group, 10 cases (38.5%) of biochemical leakage and 8 cases (30.8%) of grade B pancreatic fistula occurred after the operation. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of biochemical leakage between the two groups ( χ2=0.74, P=0.391). The incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula after surgery in the adipose pancreas group was significantly higher than that in the normal pancreas group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.61, P=0.018). The relationship between pancreatic body fat fraction and the occurrence of pancreatic fistula is correlated (the correlation coefficient was 0.334, 95% CI: 0.127-0.515, P=0.013) The relationship between the overall fat fraction of the pancreas and the occurrence of pancreatic fistula is correlated (the correlation coefficient was 0.472, 95% CI: 0.235-0.689, P<0.001). Conclusions:The incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula after PD in patients with a low fat fraction of the pancreas measured by CSI was lower than that in patients with a high fat fraction. Fat deposition in the pancreatic body and the pancreas as a whole is associated with the incidence of pancreatic fistula.

Objective To investigate the effect of lidocaine medicated plaster （LMP） combined with pregabalin （PGB） on patients with postherpetic neuralgia （PHN）, and the impact on serum pain mediators. Methods 108 PHN patients admitted in our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected and grouped according to the time point of receiving treatment, 54 PHN patients treated with PGB from January 2024 to June 2024 were included in the PGB group, and 54 PHN patients treated with LMP on top of the PGB group from July 2024 to December 2024 were included in the PGB+LMP group. Comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of pain score, serum pain mediator levels, dosage of PGB, and incidence of adverse reactions. Results After 4 weeks of treatment, both groups showed a decrease in Pain Rating Index scores （sensory score and affective score）, Present Pain Intensity score, Visual Analog Scale score, and total score. Meanwhile, above scores of the PGB+LMP group were lower than those of the PGB group （P<0.05）. After 4 weeks of treatment, the levels of substance P（SP） and neuropeptide Y （NPY） in both groups were lower than those before treatment, while serum 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） levels were higher than those before treatment. Moreover, the levels of SP and NPY were lower, and 5-HT level was higher in the PGB+LMP group than in the PGB group （P<0.05）. The dosages of PGB in the PGB+LMP group at T1, T, T3 and T4 were significantly lower than those in the PGB group （P<0.05）. The incidence of adverse reactions was 1.85%（1/54） in the PGB+LMP group. Compared to 5.56%（3/54） in the PGB group, and the difference was not statistically significant （P>0.05）. Conclusion LMP combined with PGB was effective in the treatment of patients with PHN, which could effectively alleviate pain and lower the levels of serum pain mediators, with good safety.
