Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of posterior quadratus lumborum block(PQLB)in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 62 gynecological patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy from July 2021 to July 2024.The patients were divided into two groups based on the preoperative blocking method:the PQLB group and the transversus abdominis plane block(TAP)group,with 31 patients in each group.In the PQLB group,bilateral PQLB was performed under ultrasound guidance with 20 ml of 0.35％ropivacaine on each side.In the TAP group,bilateral transversus abdominis plane blocks were performed under ultrasound guidance with 20 ml of 0.4％or 0.5％ropivacaine on each side.The mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded before anesthesia(T0),at the time of the block(T1),at skin incision(T2),and during the recovery period(T3).The local anesthetic toxicity,nerve injury,intraoperative opioid consumption,postoperative remedial analgesic usage and dosage,as well as the incidence of nausea and vomiting,were monitored.Results The operations were successfully completed in all the 62 patients.No significant differences were observed between the two groups in mean arterial pressure(F=0.323,P=0.572)and heart rate(F=0.195,P=0.660)at 4 different time points.There were no significant differences in the dosage of anesthetic analgesics during surgery(Z=-0.458,P=0.647)and length of hospital stay(Z=-1.652,P=0.099)between the two groups.The postoperative remedial analgesic usage rate in the PQLB group was significantly lower than that in the TAP group(32.3％vs.74.2％,x2=10.949,P=0.000).Within 48 h after operation,the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)dosage in the PQLB group was significantly lower than that in the TAP group[0(0,0)mg vs.400(0,1600)mg,Z=-4.849,P=0.000],and no significant difference was observed between the two groups in the use of opioid(tramadol)dosage(Z=-0.045,P=0.964).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(P＞0.05).The scores of numeric rating scale for abdomial wall pain and visceral pain in the PQLB group at 12 and 24 h after surgery did not exceed 3 points.No local anesthetic toxicity or nerve injury was observed.Conclusion PQLB provides effective analgesia for patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy,offering better control of visceral pain,helping reduce intraoperative opioid consumption,and lowering the risk of postoperative adverse reactions.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Chi-BEAM regimen (chidamide combined with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with high-risk or relapsed/refractory lymphoma.Methods:This retrospective case series included 78 patients with newly treated high-risk or relapsed/refractory lymphoma who underwent ASCT with the Chi-BEAM conditioning regimen in the Department of Hematology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Province Hospital), from June 2021 to May 2024. Descriptive statistics were employed to evaluate clinical characteristics, efficacy, and adverse events. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to calculate cumulative progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates.Results:The median age of the 78 evaluable patients was 47 years (range 16-68), with 8 patients (10.3%) aged ≥60 years. At the first post-transplant assessment (3 months), the objective response rate was 94.9% (74/78). The median follow-up was 20.1 months (range 2.9-44.9). The median PFS time was 20.1 months (range 1.6-45.1), with a 2-year cumulative PFS rate of 81.8%. The median OS time was 20.6 months (range 3.1-45.1), with a cumulative 2-year OS rate of 93.2%. The regimen was well-tolerated; mild-to-moderate hypocalcemia within 1 week post-infusion and transient mild erythrocyturia on the infusion day were the primary adverse reactions.Conclusion:The Chi-BEAM regimen combined with ASCT demonstrates both safety and clinical benefit in patients with high-risk or relapsed/refractory lymphoma.

Objective:To analyze the evolution of ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) resistance phenotyes and clinical features of 11 ST11-KL64 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates carrying bla KPC. Methods:Eleven CRKP isolates, designated K01 to K11, obtained from infected liver transplant patients from June to September 2024 were retrospectively studied. Broth microdilution method, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and plasmid conjugation assays were employed to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance mechanisms, and genetic structural characteristics of these CRKP isolates. Clinical data were simultaneously collected and organized to analyze the correlation between bla KPC gene mutations and the clinical efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. Results:All eleven isolates of CRKP exhibited multidrug resistance phenotypes. Among them, K01-K09 and K11 were sensitive to CZA and resistant to carbapenems, while K10 was resistant to CZA and displayed sensitivity or intermediate resistance to carbapenems. WGS analysis showed that all 11 CRKP isolates belonged to the ST11-KL64 clonal type. Among these isolates, the K01-K09 and K11 isolates carry the bla KPC-2 gene, whereas the K10 isolate carries the bla KPC-33 gene. A single nucleotide mutation in bla KPC-2 (G532T) resulted in a substitution of tyrosine (Y) for aspartic acid (D) at Ambler position 179 (D179Y), causing resistance of CRKP to CZA and reduced sensitivity to Imipenem and Meropenem. The conjugative plasmid was successfully constructed, and compared to the parental strain, its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to CZA increased 32 folds. Clinical data revealed that the patient developed the bla KPC-33 mutation after 51 days of CZA treatment. Conclusions:The bla KPC-33 mutation following CZA treatment for CRKP infection exhibits a considerable delay. It is essential to dynamically monitor the evolution of CRKP resistance to ensure timely adjustment of therapeutic strategies in case of the occurrence of mutations such as bla KPC-33.

Objective:To explore the application of nursing intervention based on the capability, opportunity, motivation-behavior model (COM-B) in stroke patients during the rehabilitation period.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 146 stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2021 to February 2024 were selected as the research objects. According to the admission time sequence, they were divided into the COM-B group and the routine group, with 73 cases in each group. The routine group received routine nursing measures, and the COM-B group was intervened with the COM-B intervention, both for 3 months. The scores of the Health Education Self-Management Scale for Stroke Patients (HES-SP), the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and the Barthel Index of the two groups before and after the intervention were compared.Results:Finally, 72 patients in the COM-B group and 71 patients in the routine group completed the study. After 3 months of intervention, the scores of ESCA, HES-SP, FMA, and the Barthel Index of the two groups were all higher than those before the intervention, and the scores of COM-B group were all higher than those of the routine group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the COM-B intervention in stroke patients can improve patients' healthy behaviors and self-care abilities, and enhance their limb motor function and activities of daily living abilities, with a good application effect.

In recent years,organoid technology has emerged as a pivotal tool in central nervous system(CNS)tumor research.By recapitulating the 3D architecture,molecular profiles,and dynamic interactions of tumors with their microenvironment,it provides an innovative platform for elucidating disease mechanisms and facilitating drug screening.Brain organoids are primarily utilized to model normal neurodevelopmental processes and investigate CNS disease pathogenesis,whereas CNS tumor organoids are chiefly employed to simulate tumor heterogeneity and therapeutic responses.This review delineates the methodologies for establishing brain organoids and CNS tumor organoid models,along with their applications in CNS oncology research,with parti-cular emphasis on the technical features and advantages of pluripotent stem cell-derived,patient-derived,and xenograft-derived organoid models.Furthermore,it examines current challenges in model standardization,mi-croenvironment recapitulation,and ethical considerations pertaining to human tissue sources.Future directions for advancing this technology are also discussed.

Objective:To explore the developmental trajectory and influencing factors of self-management behavior among stroke patients.Methods:A total of 478 ischemic stroke patients admitted to the department of neurology of a grade-Ⅲ hospital in Henan Province from July 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation objects. Baseline data of patients were collected using the general situation questionnaire, stroke knowledge questionnaire, stroke health belief scale, stroke self-management behavior scale and self-rating depression scale. The self-management behavior level of patients was assessed at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge. Mplus 7.0 software was used to conduct trajectory analysis of stroke patients' self-management behaviors, and multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors associated with the development trajectory types of different stroke self-management behaviors.Results:The self-management behavior scores of stroke patients at discharge, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge were 206.59(167.59, 230.57), 169.59(129.73, 196.73), 149.82(120.89, 171.48), and 147.14(123.02, 181.64), respectively. Four trajectory categories were described. Category 1 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 16.95%(81/478)( P<0.001, intercept=2.701). Category 2 was low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept =2.696). Category 3 was medium-level pattern of initial decrease followed by stabilization, accounting for 57.11%(273/478)( P<0.001, intercept =3.829). Category 4 was high-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase, accounting for 12.97%(62/478)( P<0.001, intercept=4.366). The self-management behavior of stroke patients with low level of stroke knowledge, low level of health belief, aged 60 to 70 years old, residence in rural areas and middle school and below education level were more likely to belong to the low level group(all P<0.05). Patients with low depression in the low level group were more likely to be classified as low-level pattern of initial decrease followed by increase( P<0.05). Conclusion:The trajectory category of self-management behavior could be predicted by stroke knowledge level, health belief level, age, place of residence, educational background and depression. Their self-management behavior level may be improved through targeted interventions according to the characteristics of different trajectory categories.
