Objective To summarize the experience of multi-disciplinary team(MDT)in the pediatric department of Qujing Maternal and Child Health Hospital,and to evaluate the effectiveness of MDT on neonatal brain injury.Methods The clinical data of children with brain injury and treated in the pediatrics department of Qujing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2019 to April 2023 were collected.The children with brain injury and treated from October 2019 to June 2020 were regarded as the non-MDT group,and the children with brain injury and treated from July 2020 to April 2023 were regarded as the MDT group for comparative analysis.Chi-square test/t-test was used to compare and analyze the clinical data of the two groups.Results Among the 890 cases of pediatric brain injury,there were 519 males and 371 females.The median and quartiles of the age distribution for the two groups were as follows:MDT group 2.00(0.82,5.00)years and non-MDT group 1.00(1.00,4.00)years.Craniocerebral injury was the main type of brain injury in both groups,in addition,among children with craniocerebral injury and intracranial hemorrhage,the cure rate of MDT group was higher than that of non-MDT group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Among the 405 children in MDT group,154(38.0%)underwent the surgery,while among the 485 children in non-MDT group,121(24.9%)underwent the surgery.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).23.2% of children in MDT group were in critical condition during the hospitalization,which was significantly lower than that in non-MDT group(30.5%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The unhealed rate of MDT group(2.0%)was also significantly lower than that of non-MDT group(5.6%),the cure rate of MDT group(40.5%)was significantly higher than that of non-MDT group(34.4%),and there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The expense of treatment,medicine and sanitary materials in MDT group were lower than those in non-MDT group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The multivariate Logistic regression model analysis of the cure rate of children with brain injury showed that the MDT model could effectively improve the cure rate of children with brain injury(RR = 1.513,95% CI = 1.134-2.020).The results of multiple linear regression model analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in the effect of MDT on the actual hospitalization days of children(P>0.05).Conclusion Using MDT model to diagnose and treat children with brain injury is helpful to improve the cure rate,reduce the risk of children's disease aggravation,and achieve the significant therapeutic effects in children with brain injury.MDT model is worth popularizing and applying in children with brain injury.

Objective:To establish the objective of zero inventory management of in vitro diagnostic reagents,to evaluate the quality of supply chain,and to improve the existing problems in the supply of reagents.Methods:The problems existing in the management of in vitro diagnostic reagents were analyzed from the aspects of inventory,supply efficiency and product quality,and the management system of hospital operation,management quality and patient benefit optimization was established,and the zero-inventory management path and quality evaluation model were constructed.85 models of 21 types of in vitro diagnostic reagents purchased by Jiangsu Subei People's Hospital from January 2020 to March 2023 were selected.According to different supply chain quality management methods,on-demand inventory management mode(referred to as mode 1)and zero inventory management mode(referred to as mode 2)were adopted respectively.The demand procurement,inventory management and clinical use effects of the two management modes were compared.Results:The reagent procurement demand compliance rate,supply capacity high-quality quality rate and clinical use matching rate of mode 2 were(93.35±3.62)%,(94.87±2.63)% and(96.08±2.31)%,respectively,which were higher than those of mode 1,the difference was statistically significant(Z=2.489,2.836,2.838,P<0.05).The number of cases of long-term overstocking of products,substandard environment and untimely information in mode 2 were(2.92±2.54)cases,(2.83±1.59)cases and(5.58±3.12)cases,respectively,which were lower than those in mode 1,the difference was statistically significant(Z=2.959,3.037,3.703,P<0.05).The satisfaction of clinical departments,medical technology departments and procurement center with the supply,distribution and information communication of in vitro diagnostic reagents in mode 2 were 97.8% and 93.3%,97.0% and 87.9%,100% and 84.6%,respectively,which were higher than those in mode 1,the difference was statistically significant(x2clinical departments=5.428,6.133,x2medical technology departments=3.958,3.937,x2procurement center=5.159,4.996,P<0.05).Conclusion:The zero inventory management model can improve the standardization of in vitro diagnostic reagent demand procurement,reduce the incidence of backlog failure in inventory management,and improve the quality of clinical supply services.

Objective To investigate the role of high-mobility group AT-hook 2(HMGA2)in osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ADSCs)and the effect of Hmga2 knockdown for promoting bone defect repair.Methods Bioinformatics studies using the GEO database and Rstudio software identified HMGA2 as a key factor in adipogenic-osteogenic differentiation balance of ADSCs.The protein-protein interaction network of HMGA2 in osteogenic differentiation was mapped using String and visualized with Cytoscape to predict the downstream targets of HMGA2.Primary mouse ADSCs(mADSCs)were transfected with Hmga2 siRNA,and the changes in osteogenic differentiation of the cells were evaluated using alkaline phosphatase staining and Alizarin red S staining.The expressions of osteogenic markers Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),osteopontin(OPN),and osteocalcein(OCN)in the transfected cells were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.In a mouse model of critical-sized calvarial defects,mADSCs with Hmga2-knockdown were transplanted into the defect,and bone repair was evaluated 6 weeks later using micro-CT scanning and histological staining.Results GEO database analysis showed that HMGA2 expression was upregulated during adipogenic differentiation of ADSCs.Protein-protein interaction network analysis suggested that the potential HMGA2 targets in osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs included SMAD7,CDH1,CDH2,SNAI1,SMAD9,IGF2BP3,and ALDH1A1.In mADSCs,Hmga2 knockdown significantly upregulated the expressions of RUNX2,OPN,and OCN and increased cellular alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition.In a critical-sized calvarial defect model,transplantation of mADSCs with Hmga2 knockdown significantly promoted new bone formation.Conclusion HMGA2 is a crucial regulator of osteogenic differentiation in ADSCs,and Hmga2 knockdown significantly promotes osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs and accelerates ADSCs-mediated bone defect repair in mice.

Objective:To explore the changes in serum levels of miR-499 and miR-362 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their relationship with prognosis.Methods:A total of 103 patients with advanced NSCLC at Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences Affiliated Chongming Hospital from January 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the NSCLC group, and 100 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to determine and compare the levels of serum miR-499 and miR-362 in the two groups, and the relationship between the two indexes and different clinical characteristics of NSCLC patients was analyzed. According to the clinical outcome of 2-year follow-up, the patients were divided into survival group and death group, and the levels of serum miR-499 and miR-362 were compared between the two groups. The predictive value of miR-499 and miR-362 levels on the prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients were analyzed using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The serum miR-499 level in the NSCLC group (0.34±0.10) was lower than that in the control group (1.25±0.21), while the miR-362 level (1.13±0.27) was higher than that in the control group (0.63±0.15) ( t=18.26, P<0.001; t=16.32, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in serum miR-499 and miR-362 levels among patients with different degrees of differentiation ( t=11.12, P<0.001; t=16.35, P<0.001), TNM staging ( t=13.64, P=0.002; t=8.73, P=0.010) and lymph node metastasis ( t=10.02, P=0.003; t=9.65, P=0.004). The serum miR-499 level in the death group ( n=77) (0.24±0.06) was lower than that in the survival group ( n=26) (0.35±0.09), while the miR-362 level (1.54±0.32) was higher than that in the survival group (1.08±0.21), with statistically significant differences ( t=8.06, P=0.006; t=8.67, P=0.005). ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of miR-499 and miR-362 in predicting the prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients was 73.46% and 75.85%, respectively, with specificity of 64.42% and 65.61%, AUC of 0.739 (95% CI: 0.662-0.805) and 0.743 (95% CI: 0.640-0.793) ; the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of serum miR-499 combined with miR-362 in predicting the prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients were 87.63%, 85.34%, and 0.875 (95% CI: 0.698-0.897), respectively; the combined prediction of miR-499 and miR-362 for AUC area was higher than the individual prediction ( Z=4.83, P=0.013; Z=5.17, P=0.009) . Conclusion:Advanced NSCLC patients show significant abnormal serum level of miR-499 and miR-362, and as the severity of the disease progressed, the serum level of miR-499 is downregulated more significantly and miR-362 is upregulated more significantly. The combined detection of miR-499 and miR-362 levels has certain predictive value for the prognosis of advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective : To investigate the effect of micro/nano hierarchical structures on the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, evaluate the drug delivery potential of titanium surfaces, and provide a reference for the modification of selected areas of titanium surfaces to enhance drug delivery and slow drug release. Methods : Pure titanium samples (10 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in thickness) were randomly divided into a polished group (T), anodized group (TO), and micro/nano hierarchical structure group (FTO) according to the surface treatment of the titanium. The T group was polished, the TO group was treated with anodic oxidation technology, and the FTO group was treated by femtosecond laser etching combined with anodic oxidation technology. The three surface morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the wettability of the surface was measured by the contact angle, and the surface chemical composition was analyzed by X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The depth of the FTO structure and the surface roughness were measured by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion proliferation and differentiation on the surface of each group of samples was assessed by immunofluorescence staining, CCK-8, and semiquantitative analysis of Alizarin staining. A freeze-drying method was applied to load recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the drug-loading potential of different surface structures. Results: SEM revealed that the surface of T group titanium plates showed uniform polishing marks in the same direction. The surface of the TO group was a nanoscale honeycomb-like titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotube structure, and the FTO group formed a regular and ordered micro/nano layered structure. The contact angle of the FTO group was the smallest at 32° ± 1.7°. Its wettability was the best. The average depth of the first-level structure circular pores was 93.6 μm, and the roughness was 1.5-2 μm. The TO and FTO groups contained a high percentage of oxygen, suggesting TiO2 nanotube formation. The FTO group had the most significant surface cell proliferation (P<0.001) and the largest cell adhesion surface area (P<0.05). rhBMP-2 was slowly released for 14 d after loading in the FTO group and promoted extracellular matrix mineralization (P<0.001). Conclusion Titanium surface microprepared hierarchical structure has the effect of promoting MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation with drug loading potential, which is a new method of titanium surface treatment.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of personalized positioning using a cervical collar combined with a vacuum pad in the Cyberknife radiosurgery for cervical spine metastases.Methods:This study enrolled 68 patients with cervical spine metastases to be treated with Cyberknife stereotactic radiotherapy for cervical spines. These patients consisted of 41 males and 27 females, aged from 43 to 78 years (average: 51.5 years). They were divided into groups A, B, and C using the random number table method. The patient positioning in these groups was achieved using a cervical collar combined with a vacuum pad (personalized positioning), a vacuum pad, and a small head mold, respectively. After the first treatment, the comfort levels of the positioning molds during treatment were investigated. After radiotherapy, the average deviations in translational and rotational directions, the minimum tolerance distance (dxAB), the minimum rotational deviation angle (drAB), the proportion of false nodes, and the comfort level of the three positioning method were acquired for analysis.Results:The three groups showed statistically significant differences in the inf-sup, left-right, ant-post, pitch, roll, and yaw directions during the first treatment ( F = 7.13, 2.56, 3.41, 4.21, 2.71, 8.14, P < 0.05). Compared with groups B and C, Group A had significantly lower dxAB, drAB, and the proportion of false nodes, showing statistically significant differences ( F = 5.06, 4.31, 3.30, P < 0.05). Furthermore, patients in groups A and B felt more comfortable with the positioning molds than those in Group C ( χ2 = 12.46, P < 0.05), with no statistically significant differences between groups A and B ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:For patients with cervical spine metastases undergoing Cyberknife radiosurgery for cervical spines, the personalized positioning using a cervical collar combined with a vacuum pad can improve the accuracy and safety of Cyberknife spinal tracking while remaining the comfort level.

Bladder cancer(BC) ranks the first of genitourinary tumor in China and is one of the most common urological malignancies, in which 25%-30% of patients were diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection is the standard procedure for treatment, which can effectively avoid tumor recurrence or distant metastasis as well as improve the prognosis of patients. However, some patients may not tolerate or refuse to undergo radical bladder surgery due to worry about high complication rate, high morbidity and poor postoperative quality of life. With the increasing understanding of bladder cancer heterogeneity and biological behavior, the treatment of bladder cancer has changed from a surgery-based treatment model to an individualized and comprehensive treatment model by multidisciplinary collaboration. The bladder-preserving treatment can achieve the same oncological prognosis as that of radical bladder surgery with a better quality of life of the patients, which has become a hot topic and focus of research in muscle-invasive bladder cancer treatment. This article reviewed the progress of research related to the comprehensive treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer with preservation of the bladder.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is considered the primary causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is related to abnormal glycolipid metabolism, hemodynamic abnormalities, oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Antagonism of vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF-B) could efficiently ameliorate DN by reducing renal lipotoxicity. However, this pharmacological strategy is far from satisfactory, as it ignores numerous pathogenic factors, including anomalous reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inflammatory responses. We found that the upregulation of VEGF-B and downregulation of interleukin-22 (IL-22) among DN patients were significantly associated with the progression of DN. Thus, we hypothesized that a combination of a VEGF-B antibody and IL-22 could protect against DN not only by regulating glycolipid metabolism but also by reducing the accumulation of inflammation and ROS. To meet these challenges, a novel anti-VEGFB/IL22 fusion protein was developed, and its therapeutic effects on DN were further studied. We found that the anti-VEGFB/IL22 fusion protein reduced renal lipid accumulation by inhibiting the expression of fatty acid transport proteins and ameliorated inflammatory responses

Objective:To compare the biomechanical properties between triangular supporting fixation and conventional dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:Eight pairs of 16 femoral specimens with an average death age of 51.9 years were used in this study. After thawing, they were randomly divided into an experimental group ( n=8) and a control group ( n=8) according to the left or right laterality. They were made models of femoral intertrochanteric fracture of AO 31-A1 type with strain gauges pasted. The experimental group was subjected to fixation with double triangu-lar supporting and the control group conventional DHS fixation to achieve anatomical reduction. The specimens were then mounted onto a biomechanical testing machine and subjected to loading till 400 N at a rate of 10 N/s. The values of overall deformation of the specimens and strain at 16 selected sites were recorded and compared between the 2 model groups. Results:Under the load of 400 N, the overall deformation was (0.31±0.13) mm for the experimental group and (0.49±0.21) mm for the control group, showing a significant difference ( t=-2.456, P=0.023). The strain values in front of femoral neck, upon front fracture line, at inferior-lateral, inferior-median and inferior-interior sites of front fracture line, at the root of anterior fixation screw, below medial femoral neck fracture line, behind femoral neck, at superior-lateral, superior-median and superior-interior sites of posterior fracture line, below posterior fracture line, at superior and inferior roots of posterior fixation screw, at points parallel to the fixation screw in front of and behind femoral shaft were, respectively, -244.90, 13.16, -71.77, -124.38, -366.89,121.62, -10.94, -166.00, -54.93, -367.38, -608.93, -69.09, 326.50, 133.14, 52.97, and -185.82 in the experimental group and -24.62, -40.39, -36.99, -120.97, -486.38, 99.20, 35.36, -205.67, -74.30, -566.01, -1, 085.40, -77.41, 334.34, 114.08, 38.50, and -235.74 in the control group. Internal fixation failure occurred in one specimen in the control group after 1,759 cycles of loading but in none in the experimental group. Conclusion:For femoral intertrochanteric fractures, double triangular supporting fixation may result in less overall deformation and is more consistent with the normal biomechanical conduction of the femur than conventional DHS fixation.
