Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of minimally invasive therapy for aortic arch pathology after ascending aortic replacement.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2016 to 2024. After multidisciplinary discussion, these included patients were evaluated to be at high risk for traditional open surgery. Various minimally invasive repair techniques were employed, including Ⅳb hybrid technique, physician-modified endograft and novel unibody endograft. The study outcomes were technical success, in-hospital and follow-up mortality, stroke, endoleak, and the patency of the supra-aortic vessels.Results:A total of 40 patients(32 males and 8 females) with a median age of 60 years old were included in this study. The technique success rate was 100%, with no deaths or strokes reported. The patency of the supra-aortic vessels was 100%. 10 patients underwent Type Ⅳb hybrid surgery without any endoleaks occurring. Among the 22 patients who received physician-modified endograft, endoleaks were observed in 2 cases. One of these type Ⅰc endoleaks persisted and underwent reintervention. One patient underwent femoral artery replacement due to vascular injury. For the 8 patients who received novel unibody endograft, one case required reintervention due to persistent type Ⅰc endoleaks.Conclusion:With the development of different endovascular techniques and novel branched endograft, patients with aortic arch pathology who are at high risk for redo open surgery can achieve favorable outcomes with various minimal invasive techniques. However, long-term and large-sample follow-up studies are needed for further evaluation.

Objective:To establish a set of dynamic definition methods and key operational techniques for community pediatric services contents within the framework of an integrated children health services model.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From December 2023 to June 2024, a study was conducted at the Shanghai Gumei Community Health Service Center. The study was divided into three phases: identifying the health needs of community children (Phase A), developing the service content and methods for community children (Phase B), and establishing a community children service network (Phase C). A variety of methods, including questionnaires and focus group interviews, were comprehensively employed in each phase to develop the ABC demand network and its construction approach for community children, and to establish a networked service system.Results:A total of 512 questionnaires were distributed in Phase A, of which 499 were returned for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Of the parents, 488 (97.8%, 488/499) would actively seek information related to children′s health. Of those parents, 90.6% (452/499), 80.8% (403/499), and 71.9% (359/499) expressed concern about their children′s growth and development, mental health and social adaptation, and the prevention and treatment of common, frequently occurring diseases, respectively. The research clarified the health needs of children in the community and the health issues of children in different age groups. This included the mental health and social adaptation of community children, as well as common and frequently occurring diseases. The study also revealed a lack of mental health and social adaptation's services for children in the community. After sorting the community′s services into categories such as children′s growth and development detection, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and planned immunizations, and establishing corresponding service methods, it was found that Gumei community Health Service Center had strong diagnostic service capabilities for children aged 0-3 and 4-6, but need improved for children aged 7-12 and 13-15. At the same time, a service network consisting of five major categories, represented by medical alliances, has been established to address unmet needs in diagnosis and rehabilitation care for mental health and social adaptation, as well as major diseases.Conclusions:The study has developed an ABC demand network and its construction method for community children. It provides new ideas for defining the content of community pediatric services and establishing supporting methods, and it offers a practical basis for the constructing a community pediatric service system.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) level and pathological differentiation degree of gastric cancer, and to provide reference for early diagnosis, prognosis evaluation and efficacy monitoring of gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 136 patients with gastric cancer admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2022 to December 2024. According to postoperative pathological diagnosis, patients were divided into well-differentiated group ( n=9), moderately differentiated group ( n=36) and poorly/undifferentiated group ( n=91). Preoperative CA72-4 levels and clinical characteristics of patients were collected to analyze the relationship between differentiation degree and CA72-4 level, and to compare the changes of CA72-4 before and after surgery in gastric cancer patients with different differentiation degrees. Results:The preoperative CA72-4 level in the poorly/undifferentiated group was significantly higher than that in the well-differentiated group and moderately differentiated group (all P<0.001). Preoperative CA72-4 level in gastric cancer patients was weakly negatively correlated with differentiation degree ( R=-0.341). After surgery, the CA72-4 level in the poorly/undifferentiated group decreased significantly compared with that before surgery ( P=0.043), while the changes in the well-differentiated group and moderately differentiated group were not significant. Conclusions:There are significant differences in CA72-4 levels among gastric cancer groups with different differentiation degrees. Preoperative CA72-4, as a tumor marker, is of great significance for early diagnosis, prognosis evaluation and postoperative monitoring of gastric cancer. Especially in patients with poorly/undifferentiated gastric cancer, the CA72-4 level is relatively high, which can be used for auxiliary diagnosis and formulation of treatment plans.

Allergic rhinitis (AR), a globally prevalent immune-mediated inflammatory condition, is still an incurable disease. In the present study, we have validated the impact of the Kelch-like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1)-related oxidative stress and inflammatory response in clinical AR patient peripheral blood and nasal swab samples, emphasizing the biological relevance of Keap1 and AR. Targeting Keap1 -nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) related anti-oxidative stress may be effective for AR intervention. Drawing inspiration from the Keap1 homodimerization and the E3 ligase characteristics, we herein present a design of novel bivalent molecules for chemical knockdown of Keap1. For the first time, we characterized ternary complexes of Keap1 dimer and one molecule of bivalent compounds. The best bivalent molecule 8 encompasses robust capacity to degrade Keap1 as a homoPROTAC^KEAP1. It efficaciously suppresses inflammatory cytokines in extensively different cells, including human nasal epithelial cells. Moreover, in an AR mouse model, we confirmed that the chemical degradation induced by homoPROTAC^KEAP1 led to therapeutic benefits in managing AR symptoms, oxidative stress and inflammation. In summary, our findings underscore the efficacy of targeting the Keap1 system through the homoPROTAC-ing technology as an innovative and promising treatment strategy for the incurable allergic disorders.

Objective To explore the effect of different needle track management on Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) on liver cancer after liver biopsy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 21 patients with liver cancer who underwent Technetium-99m-macroaggregated albumin (^99mTc-MAA) evaluation and ⁹⁰Y-SIRT after liver biopsy from June 2023 to December 2024. The methods of needle track management, hepatic arteriovenous shunting, and lung shunt fraction (LSF) were recorded. The occurrence of hepatic arteriovenous fistula (HAVF), as well as the corresponding countermeasures were analyzed. Results Among the 21 liver cancer patients, 7 cases (medical glue group) underwent embolization of the needle tract with medical glue (N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate [NBCA]) immediately after biopsy, and no significant HAVF was observed during the ^99mTc-MAA tests; 14 cases (non-medical glue group) were treated with delayed needle extraction or gelatin sponge particle blocking after biopsy, among which 7 cases developed significant HAVF, and the fistulas were treated with NBCA. The LSF of the medical glue group was significantly lower than that of the non-medical glue group ([7.06±2.33] % vs [12.43±7.73] %, P＝0.037). All 21 patients successfully completed ⁹⁰Y-SIRT. Conclusions Liver biopsy may affect ⁹⁰Y-SIRT by causing iatrogenic HAVF. Immediate NBCA-embolization of the needle tract after biopsy or timely NBCA-embolization of fistulas during ^99mTc-MAA tests may reduce the impact.

Objective To investigate the immediate effect of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)combined with seated Tai-jiquan Yunshou training under different sequences on cerebral cortical activation in stroke patients with hemiple-gia.Methods From September to December,2024,14 stroke inpatients with hemiplegia were enrolled from the Fifth Hospi-tal of Xiamen.Based on the routine medication and rehabilitation,the patients were randomly assigned to a spe-cific intervention sequence,receiving three interventions in a fixed order:tDCS followed by Yunshou(S-Y group),Yunshou followed by tDCS(Y-S group),and simultaneous tDCS and Yunshou(Sim group).Functional near-infrared spectroscopy was used to detect oxyhemoglobin(HbO?)concentration in bilateral sensorimotor cor-tex,premotor and supplementary motor cortex,and prefrontal cortex before and after each intervention.Results Three patients dropped out.In all the regions of interest,inter-group effects were significant in HbO? concentra-tions(F>3.697,P<0.05),and interaction effects were significant in some brain regions(F>3.276,P<0.05).Post-hoc test showed a general trend of Sim Group≥S-Y Group>Y-S Group(P<0.05),although some varia-tions existed across different brain regions.Conclusion Both simultaneous intervention(tDCS and Yunshou)and tDCS followed by Yunshou are more effective on immediate activation of key motor-related cortices in stroke patients with hemiplegia than Yunshou followed by tDCS intervention.
