Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of early bronchoalveolar lavage using electronic bronchoscopy in pediatric drowning cases.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data from 81 pediatric drowning cases treated in the intensive care unit of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2017 to September 2023 was conducted.Among these,43 cases underwent bronchoalveolar lavage with electronic bronchoscopy within 24 hours of drowning,constituting the treatment group,while 38 cases either did not receive treatment within 24 hours or underwent the procedure after 24 hours,forming the control group.We compared the two groups regarding pre-admission observations,admission observations,and disease progression or prognosis indicators to assess the clinical efficacy of early bronchoalveolar lavage with electronic bronchoscopy in pediatric drowning cases.Results:Compared to the control group,children in the treatment group exhibited a significant reduction in invasive ventilation time [(73.33±13.33) h vs.(94.82±15.77) h] and a significant decrease in pediatric intensive care unit stay [105.00 (94.00,121.00) h vs.123.5 (109.75,149.00) h],with both differences being statistically significant( P<0.05).No significant differences in white blood cell count and neutrophil percentage were observed between the treatment group and control group at admission and on the first day( P>0.05).However,by the third day,there was a significant improvement in white blood cell count in both groups,with statistical significance( P<0.05).There was a significant decrease in C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels between the treatment group and control group on the 1st and 3rd days,with the differences being significant( P<0.05).Six hours after electronic bronchoalveolar lavage,the P/F ratio in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (177.09±41.27 vs. 233.50±48.23),but it increased more significantly at 24 hours (286.00±34.32 vs.256.34±44.22),with a significant difference between two groups.The positive rate of lavage fluid culture in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of organ function damage between two groups( P>0.05).However,regarding prognosis,the treatment group showed significantly better outcomes than the control group( P<0.05). Conclusion:For pediatric patients with wilderness drowning,early electronic bronchoscopy with alveolar lavage may shorten the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and pediatric intensive care unit stay,improving prognosis,and is worth promoting.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the regulatory effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester(CAPE)on metabotropic glutamate receptor 5(mGluR5)and tyrosine kinase Fyn,and to explore its role in alleviating neuroinflam-mation and pathological features of Alzheimer disease(AD).METHODS:In vitro,the murine neuroblastoma N2a cell line was treated with amyloid β-protein 42 oligomers(Aβ42Os;10 nmol/L to 10 μmol/L)for 24 h.Cell viability was as-sessed by MTT assay.Western blot analyzed mGluR5 expression and Fyn phosphorylation(Tyr416).Pharmacological modulators(CHPG/MPEP)were used to evaluate mGluR5-mediated inflammatory cytokine regulation(qPCR)and Fyn ac-tivation.In vivo,wild-type(WT)and 5×FAD mice(WT,WT+CAPE,5×FAD and 5×FAD+CAPE)were analyzed for AD-related proteins,neuroinflammation(ELISA),glial activation(GFAP/Iba-1 immunofluorescence),and β-amyloid deposi-tion(thioflavin S).RESULTS:(1)Treatment with 1 μmol/L Aβ42Os increased mGluR5 expression(P<0.01)and Fyn phosphorylation(P<0.01)without affecting N2a cell viability.Intracerebral Aβ42Os injection similarly up-regulated hip-pocampal mGluR5 and Fyn(P<0.01).(2)MPEP reduced mGluR5 expression(P<0.01)and Fyn phosphorylation(P<0.01),while suppressing tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)mRNA levels(P<0.01).(3)CAPE decreased mGluR5-Fyn activation in N2a cells,neurons,and 5×FAD mice(P<0.01).(4)CAPE-treated 5×FAD mice exhibited reduced neuroinflammation markers(GFAP,Iba-1,TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6),Aβ plaques,and p-APP levels(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Treatment with CAPE inhibits Aβ42Os-induced mGluR5-Fyn signaling activation,thereby attenuating neuroinflammation and the pathology associated with AD.

Digestive system tumors are malignant tumors with high malignancy,easy metastasis,and poor prognosis,which are difficult to diagnose due to the insidious onset.Most of the patients have reached the middle and advanced stages at the time of diagnosis,so the effect of treatment is usually not good.Studies have shown that the long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 6(SNHG6)is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors,and can participate in malignant biological processes such as tumor proliferation,invasion and migration.SNHG6 is closely related to the emergence of chemotherapy drug resistance.This article reviews the biological function and clinical significance of SNHG6 in 6 different tumors of the digestive system,and discusses its mechanism of action in tumorigenesis and development,in the hope to search for effective early diagnosis and treatment targets and thereby improve the survival rate of cancer patients.

Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)is involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes such as the proliferation,invasion,migration,and chemotherapy resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells through TNF receptor-mediated signaling pathways.At the same time,TNF-α also plays a role in inducing the apoptosis of HCC cells.Some TNF-α inhibitors have been shown to inhibit the progression of HCC and prolong survival time.At present,the potential mechanism of action of TNF-α in HCC remains unclear,and exploration of the interaction between TNF-α and HCC can help to determine the potential therapeutic targets for HCC.This article summarizes the latest research advances in the mechanism of action of TNF-α in HCC and introduces the possibility of targeting TNF-α as a treatment method for HCC,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer and drug research and development.

[Objective] To evaluate the value of X-ray combined with MRI in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injury. [Methods] A retrospective study was conducted on the patients who underwent X-ray and MRI examinations at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to March 2022. A total of 158 patients were recruited, among whom 146 had rotator cuff injury, 10 had rheumatoid arthritis, and 2 had shoulder joint space occupation. We compared the specificity, sensitivity, consistency, detection rate, missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate of various examinations, and compared the X-ray and MRI examination results. [Results] The sensitivity and specificity of X-ray for rotator cuff injury were 65.8% and 41.7%, those of MRI for rotator cuff injury were 78.1% and 66.7%, and those of the combined diagnosis were 93.8% and 83.3%, respectively. The Kappa value of the combined diagnosis of rotator cuff injury and surgical results was higher than that of X-ray and MRI diagnosis (P<0.05). The detection rate and missed diagnosis rate of the three groups differed significantly (χ²=6.095, 13.113, P<0.05). The detection rate of rotator cuff injury by the combined diagnosis was higher than that of X-ray and MRI diagnosis, and the missed diagnosis rate was lower than that of the latter (P>0.05). [Conclusion] The detection rate of rotator cuff injury of shoulder joint by the combined examination is higher than that of X-ray and MRI, and the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis is lower. The combined examination can provide detailed evaluation for preoperative diagnosis.
