Objective: To investigate the abnormal fluctuation of coagulation function indicators in pediatric Burkitt lymphoma patients, and to analyze its correlation with disease progression and prognosis. Methods: The data of 172 children with Burkitt lymphoma in Children's Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and 120 healthy children were used as control group. Plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fib), International standardized ratio (INR), D-dimer (D-D), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), and antithrombin (AT) were measured. Appropriate statistical methods were used to compare the data between two groups, and the Cox regression model was employed to analyze the influencing factors. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Levels of D-D, FDP, INR, and PT were significantly higher in children with Burkitt lymphoma than in the healthy controls [median (P25, P75) for the case group: 0.35 (0.13, 1.22), 3.10 (1.30, 10.20), 1.16 (1.06, 1.24), 12.60 (11.43, 13.50); median (P25, P75) for the healthy control group: 0.10 (0.07, 0.15), 0.60 (0.20, 1.08), 1.06 (1.02, 1.13), 11.50 (11.00, 12.30)](P<0.05). Levels of D-D, FDP, INR, PT, and TT were significantly elevated in children with recurrence compared to those without recurrence [median (P25, P75) for the recurrent group: 0.44 (0.16, 1.42), 3.85 (1.50, 12.25), 1.17 (1.08, 1.24), 12.70 (11.73, 13.50), 16.20 (14.80, 17.80); median (P25, P75) for the non-recurrent group: 0.21 (0.11, 0.69), 2.00 (1.00, 6.85), 1.11 (1.03, 1.24), 11.90 (11.10, 13.43), 15.20 (14.50, 16.40)](P<0.05). Levels of D-D, FDP in children with metastasis were significantly higher than those without metastasis [median (P25, P75) for the metastatic group: 0.51 (0.17, 1.84), 4.38 (1.70, 13.45); median (P25, P75) for the non-metastatic group: 0.20 (0.11, 0.39), 1.50 (1.00, 3.10)] (P<0.05). Levels of D-D and FDP were significantly higher in children with advanced stage than in those with early stage [median (P25, P75) for the high-stage group: 0.33 (0.14, 1.20), 3.10 (1.40, 10.23); median (P25, P75) for the low-stage group: 0.12 (0.08, 0.24), 0.90 (0.50, 2.50)] (P<0.05). Levels of D-D and FDP in high-risk children were significantly higher than those of low-risk [median (P25, P75) for the high-risk group: 0.28 (0.13, 1.01), 2.90 (1.15, 9.65); median (P25, P75) for the low-risk group: 0.12 (0.08, 0.17), 0.80 (0.43, 1.98)] (P<0.05). Levels of D-D, FDP, INR, and PT were significantly higher in children with poor prognosis than in those with favorable prognosis [median (P25, P75) for the poor prognosis group: 1.76 (0.80, 2.72), 13.45 (7.20, 25.30), 1.19 (1.12, 1.32), 12.85 (12.10, 14.35); median (P25, P75) for the favorable prognosis group: 0.23 (0.12, 0.52), 2.00 (1.00, 4.80), 1.14 (1.05, 1.23), 12.30 (11.40, 13.40)] (P<0.05). INR levels significantly increased with accumulating chemotherapy cycles [median (P25, P75) for one session: 1.09 (1.02, 1.20); two sessions: 1.31 (1.23, 1.38); three sessions: 1.79 (1.52, 2.41)] (P<0.05). Age, APTT, D-D, FDP, INR, PT, recurrence and metastasis had a significant effect on the survival of children with Burkitt lymphoma (P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with Burkitt lymphoma exhibit coagulation disorders, which are influenced by recurrence, metastasis, clinical stage, risk stratification, and prognosis. In clinical practice, it is crucial to prioritize the monitoring of coagulation indicators to facilitate timely detection of coagulation dysfunction.

Objective: To explore effects and maintenance of school based sexual abuse prevention programs for minors, so as to provide scientific evidences for optimizing intervention design and policy making. Methods: Six Chinese and English databases were searched, including CNKI, Wanfang Database, Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science, with the time frame set from database inception to December 31, 2024. Studies on school based sexual abuse prevention programs for minors were selected, and data on knowledge, attitudes and skills related to sexual abuse prevention were extracted. Meta analysis was performed using Stata 17. Results: A total of 26 studies were included. The Meta analysis results showed that school based sexual abuse prevention programs improved participants knowledge ( SMD=1.24, 95%CI =0.96-1.52), attitudes ( SMD=0.62, 95%CI =0.19-1.04) and skills ( SMD=0.66, 95%CI =0.50-0.83) (all P <0.01). During the overall follow up, the maintenance rates for knowledge, attitudes, and skills were 0.97(95% CI =0.95-1.00), 0.99(95% CI =0.95-1.04) and 1.01(95% CI =0.99-1.04), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P >0.05). However, knowledge retention declined significantly when follow up exceeded three months ( R=0.91, 95%CI=0.83-0.99, P <0.01), while skills retention ( R=0.94, 95%CI=0.87-1.02, P = 0.23) remained higher than knowledge and attitudes ( R=0.98, 95%CI=0.96-1.00, P =0.13), demonstrating stronger long term effects. Conclusion School based sexual abuse prevention programs are effective in enhancing participants knowledge, attitudes and skills, but the intervention effects diminish over time, particularly in knowledge retention.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of infrared thermography in the design and harvesting of ultrathin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps. METHODS: Between June 2024 and December 2024, 9 cases of ultrathin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were designed and harvested with the assistance of infrared thermography. There were 7 males and 2 females, aged 21-61 years (mean, 39.8 years). The body mass index ranged from 19.49 to 26.45 kg/m² (mean, 23.85 kg/m²). Causes of injury included 5 cases of traffic accident injuries and 4 cases of machine crush injuries. There were 3 cases of leg wounds, 2 cases of foot wounds, and 4 cases of hand wounds. After debridement, the size of wound ranged from 7 cm×4 cm to 13 cm×11 cm. The time from admission to flap repair surgery was 5-12 days (mean, 7 days). Preoperatively, perforator localization was performed using a traditional Doppler flow detector and infrared thermography, respectively. The results were compared with the actual intraoperative locations; a discrepancy ≤10 mm was considered as consistent localization (positive), and the positive predictive value was calculated. All 9 cases were repaired with ultrathin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps designed and harvested based on thermographic images. The size of flap ranged from 8 cm×5 cm to 14 cm×8 cm, with a thickness of 3-6 mm (mean, 5.2 mm). One donor site was repaired with a full-thickness skin graft, and the others were sutured directly. Postoperatively, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and anti-vascular spasm treatments were administered, and follow-up was conducted. RESULTS: The Doppler flow detector identified 22 perforating vessels within the set range, among which 16 were confirmed as superficial fascia layer perforators intraoperatively, with a positive predictive value of 72.7%. The infrared thermograph detected 23 superficial fascia layer perforating vessels, and 21 were verified intraoperatively, with a positive predictive value of 91.3%. There was no significant difference between the two methods [OR (95%CI)=3.93 (0.70, 22.15), P=0.100]. The perforator localization time of the infrared thermograph was (5.1±1.3) minutes, which was significantly shorter than that of the Doppler flow detector [(10.1±2.6) minutes; MD (95%CI)=-5.00 (-7.08, -2.91), P<0.001]. Postoperatively, 1 case of distal flap necrosis healed after dressing change; all other flaps survived successfully. The skin grafts at donor site survived, and all incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 3-6 months (mean, 4.7 months). No pain or other discomfort occurred at the donor or recipient sites. All patients with foot wounds could walk with shoes, and no secondary flap revision was required. Flaps in 3 hand wound cases, 2 foot wound cases, and 3 leg wound cases recovered light touch and pressure sensation, but not pain or temperature sensation; the remaining 2 cases had no sensory recovery. CONCLUSION Preoperative localization using infrared thermography for repairing ultrathin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps can help evaluate the blood supply status of perforators, reduce complications, and improve surgical safety and flap survival rate.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of quercetin on cuproptosis and L-type calcium currents in the myocardium of diabetic rats. METHODS: Forty SD rats were randomized into control group and diabetic model groups. The rat models of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced by high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ) injection were further divided into DM model group, quercetin treatment group, and empagliflozin treatment group (n=10). Blood glucose and body weight were measured every other week, and cardiac function of the rats was evaluated using echocardiography. HE staining, Sirius red staining, and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) analysis were used to observe the changes in myocardial histomorphology, and serum copper levels and myocardial FDX1 expression were detected. In cultured rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 cells with high-glucose exposure, the effects of quercetin and elesclomol, alone or in combination, on intracellular CK-MB and LDH levels and FDX1 expression were assessed, and the changes in L-type calcium currents were analyzed using patch-clamp technique. RESULTS: The diabetic rats exhibited elevated blood glucose, reduced body weight, impaired left ventricular function, increased serum copper levels and myocardial FDX1 expression, decreased L-type calcium currents, and prolonged action potential duration. Quercetin and empagliflozin treatment significantly lowered blood glucose, improved body weight, and restored cardiac function of the diabetic rats, and compared with empagliflozin, quercetin more effectively reduced serum copper levels, downregulated FDX1 expression, and enhanced myocardial L-type calcium currents in diabetic rats. In H9c2 cells, high glucose exposure significantly increased myocardial expressions of FDX1, CK-MB and LDH, which were effectively lowered by quercetin treatment; Elesclomol further elevated FDX1, CK-MB and LDH levels in the exposed cells, and these changes were not significantly affected by the application of quercetin. CONCLUSIONS Quercetin ameliorates myocardial injury in diabetic rats possibly by suppressing myocardial cuproptosis signaling and restoring L-type calcium channel activity.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a prevalent malignancy that afflicts the head and neck area and presents a high incidence of metastasis and invasion. Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for enhancing the quality of life and the survival rates of TSCC patients. The current treatment modalities for TSCC frequently suffer from a lack of specificity and efficacy. Nanoparticles with diagnostic and photothermal therapeutic properties may offer a new approach for the targeted therapy of TSCC. However, inadequate accumulation of photosensitizers at the tumor site diminishes the efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT). This study modified gold nanodots (AuNDs) with the TSCC-targeting peptide HN-1 to improve the selectivity and therapeutic effects of PTT. The Au-HN-1 nanosystem effectively targeted the TSCC cells and was rapidly delivered to the tumor tissues compared to the AuNDs. The enhanced accumulation of photosensitizing agents at tumor sites achieved significant PTT effects in a mouse model of TSCC. Moreover, owing to its stable long-term fluorescence and high X-ray attenuation coefficient, the Au-HN-1 nanosystem can be used for fluorescence and computed tomography imaging of TSCC, rendering it useful for early tumor detection and accurate delineation of surgical margins. In conclusion, Au-HN-1 represents a promising nanomedicine for imaging-based diagnosis and targeted PTT of TSCC.

Objective To explore the effects of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on urodynamic parameters during the storage phase in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB), so as to provide reference for evaluating the efficacy of SNM. Methods A total 49 NB patients undergoing SNM at our hospital during Oct.2012 and May 2025 were enrolled. Baseline data and video-urodynamic parameters were collected. Changes in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase, and bladder compliance before and after treatment were assessed. Improvements in detrusor overactivity (DO) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) were also analyzed. Results Among the 49 patients,27 were male and 22 were female, with a mean age of (37.41±15.15) years, a median disease duration of 5.0 (2.0,15.5) years, and a median follow-up of 11 (1,32) months. Up to 37 patients (75.5%) received permanent sacral nerve pulse generator implantation (permanent implant group), while the remaining 12 were classified as the non-permanent implant group. Before and after the test period, all patients showed a significant increase in maximum cystometric capacity [ (218.0 (93.0,358.5) mL vs.300.0 (238.5, 400.0) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during the filling phase [32.0 (13.5,71.0) cmH_2 O vs. 20.0 (9.0,50.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.001], and an improvement in bladder compliance [11.8 (8.3,25.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.26.7 (8.6,44.1) mL/cmH_2O, P<0.001]. In the permanent implant group, comparisons before and after the test period showed an increase in maximum bladder capacity [ (239.16±147.23) mL vs. (312.24±121.83) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during filling[32.0 (15.0,58.0) cmH_2 O vs.15.0 (9.0,41.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.05], and improved bladder compliance [10.8 (8.3,23.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.28.6 (8.6,41.4) mL/cmH_2 O, P<0.001]. No statistically significant differences in these parameters before and after the test period were observed in the non-permanent implant group (P>0.05). A total of 17 patients in the permanent implant group underwent follow-up video urodynamics. Compared to pre-test values, significant improvements were observed in maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance both at the end of the test period and at the last follow-up (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance between the end of the test period and the last follow-up (P>0.05). Among the 49 patients,21 had DO and 20 had VUR. Both DO and VUR showed improvement after the test period and at the last follow-up. Conclusion SNM can effectively improve storage function in NB patients, ameliorate detrusor overactivity and bladder compliance, and relieve or eliminate VUR in some patients. Long-term follow-up confirms that SNM provides stable therapeutic effects, demonstrating significant clinical value.

Clinical practice guideline adaptation (hereinafter referred to as "guideline adaptation") is the consolidation and revision of existing high-quality guidelines so that the recommendations are better suited to the specific needs of different regions, thereby guiding optimal clinical practice. Currently, the guideline adaptations is increasing in number internationally, but their reporting quality still needs to be improved. In 2022, the RIGHT-Ad@pt guideline adaptation reporting checklist was released. It provides a detailed description of the guideline adaptation process and reporting content, which will significantly enhance the rigor, transparency, and standardization of guideline adaptations. This paper interprets and analyzes the 34 items on the checklist, with the aim of providing reference for guideline adapters to standardize the reporting process.

Liver transplantation, the only effective treatment for end stage liver disease, is characterized by complicated surgery, long surgery time, and high trauma. Patients may experience a variety of difficulties following surgery, including infection, abdominal bleeding and rejection, all of which directly affect the quality of rehabilitation. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), a novel perioperative management strategy, can effectively promote postoperative recovery of patients and has been extensively implemented in various fields of surgery. However, there are no scientific and universal ERAS protocols in the fields of liver transplantation in China. The first Consensus Recommendations of Enhanced Recovery for Liver Transplantation was issued by the International Liver Transplantation Society in December 2022, offering recommendations about ERAS strategies for liver transplantation recipients who receive deceased and living organ donations, and for living donors of liver transplantation. This paper provides a detailed interpretation of the key points to offer a practical reference for domestic liver transplantation perioperative ERAS management.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.
