Objective To investigate the determinants of linezolid-associated neurological adverse reactions in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and develop a risk prediction model for such adverse events.Methods A prospective cohort study design was employed to select 120 patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis who received a chemotherapy regimen containing linezolid at Guangzhou Chest Hospital from April 2023 to January 2024 as the study population.Clinical data,adverse reactions,and plasma concentration of linezolid were collected during fasting and at 2 hours post-medication.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to identify factors influencing linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.Furthermore,a prediction model for such adverse reactions was developed,and its predictive efficacy and calibration ability were evaluated using ROC analysis.Results Re-treatment(OR=2.540,P=0.028),coexistence of cavities(OR=4.092,P=0.021),anemia(OR=10.921,P=0.005),and Cmin≥0.7665 mg/L(OR=6.813,P<0.001)are independent risk factors for the occurrence of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.The prediction model,based on these four factors,exhibits an AUC of 0.851(95%CI:0.774～0.929),accompanied by a Youden index of 0.590,a sensi-tivity of 66.7%,and a specificity of 92.3%.Moreover,the prediction model demonstrates excellent calibration ability.(Hosmer-lemeshow χ2=8.719,P=0.273).Conclusion In MDR/RR-TB patients,the presence of cavita-tion,retreatment,and anemia may confer a heightened risk of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.A risk prediction model incorporating these four indicators demonstrates significant predictive value for the occurrence of such adverse events.

Objective To explore the impact of high glucose(HG)intervention on immune escape of pancreatic cancer cells and its molecular mechanisms.Methods PANC-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of glucose(0,7.5,15,30 mmol/L)for 24 h to establish high glucose intervention PANC-1 cells.miR-429 mimics and its negative control(mimics NC)were transfected into PANC-1 cells,which were divided into control group,HG group,HG+mimics NC group,HG+mimics group,HG+mimics+oe-NC group,and HG+mimics+oe-ZEB1 group.Flow cytometry was utilized to measure the expression level of cell surface molecule PD-L1;qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-429 and ZEB1 mRNA in cells;Western blot was used to detect the ex-pression level of ZEB1 protein in cells.The above-mentioned PANC-1 cells from each group were co-cultured with CD8+T cells to establish a co-culture system,and CCK-8 was used to assess cell proliferation activity;apoptosis levels of cells were measured using flow cytometry;lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release assay was used to detect the killing effect of CD8+T cells on PANC-1 cells;dual-luciferase reporter system was used to validate the target-regulatory relationship between mi R-429 and ZEB1.Results HG could promote the expression of cell surface mole-cules PD-L1 and ZEB1 in PANC-1 cells(P＜0.05),inhibit the expression of miR-429,and exhibit concentration dependence.Overexpression of miR-429 could significantly suppress the expression of cell surface molecule PD-L1 induced by HG in PANC-1 cells,while overexpression of ZEB1 could reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-429 over-expression on the expression of cell surface molecule PD-L1 induced by HG.After establishing a co-culture system with CD8+T cells,compared with the control group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG group sig-nificantly increased,and the apoptosis rate and cytotoxicity significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+mimics NC group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG+mimics group significantly decreased,and the apoptosis level and cytotoxicity significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+mimics group,the proliferation activity of PANC-1 cells in the HG+mimics+oe-ZEB1 group significantly increased,and the apop-tosis rate and cytotoxicity significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that miR-429 negatively regulated ZEB1.Conclusion High glucose promotes immune escape of PANC-1 cells by down-regulating the expression level of miR-429,negatively regulating the expression of ZEB1 mRNA,and increasing the expression level of cell surface molecule PD-L1 in PANC-1 cells.

Objective:The preliminary results was reported regarding the treatment of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fixation in the last decade, especially preventing recurrence of mesenteric torsion by mesenteric fan-shaped fixation.Methods:We selected 12 patients who received emergency operation in Chongqing Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2010 to March 2022. All of them were made a definite diagnose of mesenteric torsion by the preoperative CT scan or exploratory laparotomy. The recurrence of mesenteric torsion will be prevented by taking the operation of mesenteric fan-shaped fixation. This technique is suitable for the patient who is suffering total mesenteric torsion, but enteric necrosis is excluded affirmatively. The operation is consists of the following progress: (1) Exploratory laparotomy to check for necrosis of the bowel and for lesions other than torsion. (2) Mesenteric torsion derotation.(3) Mesenteric linear fixation; the right posterior lower border of the small mesentery (terminal ileal mesentery) is intermittently sutured to the posterior peritoneum of the right lower quadrant to increase the width of the base of the small mesentery. (4) Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation, which is fan-shaped to the lower left and fixed in the posterior peritoneum, shortening the length of the mesentery and further increasing the width of the mesentery and posterior peritoneal fixation.Results:A total of 12 patients with mesenteric torsion were treated by operation for 15 times in all. Among them, 3 cases received resection of most small bowel were performed without recurrence; 3 patients received only derotation for a total of 4 times, 2 cases recurred, 1 of them recurred twice; 4 cases underwent derotation and mesenteric linear fixation,and 1 case recurred. Four patients with derotation and mesenteric fan-shaped fixation recovered well without recurrence.Conclusion:Mesenteric fan-shaped fixation may be an effective operative type to reduce or avoid postoperative recurrence of mesenteric torsion.

Objective:To investigate the learning curve for a five-step procedure, namely, a transthoracic single-port assisted laparoscopic transabdominal diaphragmatic approach, for Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed relevant clinical data of 66 patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who had undergone the five-step procedure performed by the same surgeon in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from May 2017 to April 2023. The learning curve were plotted using cumulative summation analysis and selected indicators, including intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, time to first flatus, time to first tolerance of liquid food, length of hospital stay, and incidence of perioperative complications at different stages were compared. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. Numerical data are presented as cases (%) and data were analyzed using the χ 2 test or Fisher's exact test. Normally distributed measurement data are presented as x±s, and independent sample t-testing was performed for inter group comparison. Non-normally distributed measurement data are presented as M( Q1, Q3) and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for inter group comparison. Results:The five-step procedure had been successfully completed without switching to open surgery in all 66 study patients. There were no perioperative deaths, blood loss was 100 (50, 200) mL and duration of surgery 329.4±87.3 minutes. The equation of optimal fit for the duration of surgery was y=0.031x 3-4.4757x 2+164.97x-264.4 ( P<0.001, R2=0.9797). The cumulative summation learning curve reached a vertex when 25 surgical procedures had accumulated. Using 25 cases as the cut-off, we divided the learning curves into learning and proficiency periods and patients into learning (25) and proficiency period groups (41). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, history of abdominal surgery, comorbidities, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, maximum tumor diameter, surgical procedure, or T and N stage of tumor ( P>0.05). The following factors differed significantly (all P<0.05) between the learning and proficiency stages: in the latter there was less intraoperative blood loss (100 [50, 100] ml vs. 200 [100, 200] ml, U=-3.940, P<0.001), shorter duration of surgery ([289.8±50.7] minutes vs. [394.4±96.0] minutes, t=5.034, P<0.001), more mediastinal lymph nodes removed (5 [2, 8] vs. 2 [1, 5], U=-2.518, P=0.012), earlier time to first flatus (2 [2, 3] days vs. 4 [3, 6] days, U=-4.016, P<0.001), earlier time to first tolerance of liquid food (5 [4, 6] days vs. 7 [6, 8] days, U=-2.922, P=0.003), shorter duration of hospital stay (8 [8, 10] vs. 10 [9, 12] days, U=-2.028, P=0.043). The incidence of surgical complications did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P=0.238). Conclusion:Satisfactory results can be achieved with the five-step procedure for patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction once 25 procedures have been performed.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with Ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-ALL) .Methods:Patients with Ph-ALL who underwent CAR-T therapy followed by allo-HSCT from March 2018 to August 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Of the 21 patients, 14 were male and 7 were female. The median age at the time of CAR-T therapy was 22 (6-50) years. Seven patients had ABL1-like rearrangements, and 14 had JAK-STAT rearrangements. Prior to CAR-T therapy, 12 patients experienced hematologic relapse; 7 were multiparameter flow cytometry minimal residual disease (MFC-MRD) -positive and 2 were MFC-MRD-negative. CAR-T cells were derived from patients’ autologous lymphocytes. Nine patients were treated with CD19 CAR-T cells, and 12 were treated with CD19/CD22 CAR-T cells. After assessment on day 28 after CAR-T therapy, 95.2% of the patients achieved complete remission, with an MRD-negative remission rate of 75%. Nineteen patients developed grade 0–2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and 2 patients suffered grade 3 CRS, all cases of which resolved after treatment. All patients underwent allo-HSCT after CAR-T therapy. The median time from CAR-T therapy to allo-HSCT was 63 (38-114) days. Five patients experienced relapse after CAR-T therapy, including four with hematologic relapse and one with molecular relapse. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates in the ABL1 and JAK-STAT groups were (83.3±15.2) % and (66.6±17.2) %, respectively ( P=0.68) . The 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (50.0±20.4) % and (55.6±15.4) % in the ABL1 and JAK-STAT groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in 3-year OS or RFS between the two groups. Conclusions:CAR-T therapy followed by allo-HSCT leads to rapid remission in most patients with Ph-ALL and prolongs leukemia-free survival.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the teaching method combining process-oriented-guided inquiry learning (POGIL) theory and micro-class in orthopedic clinical internship.Methods:The 118 interns who completed internship from January 2022 to December 2022 were randomly divided into a control group (58) and an experimental group (60). The control group received traditional teaching, while the experimental group received a teaching method combining POGIL theory and micro-class. After the internship, the two groups were compared for assessment scores (basic theoretical knowledge and professional theoretical knowledge), learning status (classroom performance and self-learning ability), clinical practice ability (Leicester Assessment Scale), and teaching satisfaction. The t-test and chi-square test were performed using SPSS 21.0. Results:After the internship, the assessment scores, classroom performance, self-directed learning ability scores, clinical skills, case writing scores, and teaching satisfaction of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group ( t/ χ2=5.01, 3.72, 2.20, 6.57, 3.56, 4.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:The teaching method combining POGIL theory and micro-class can enhance the master of theoretical knowledge by orthopedic interns, optimize classroom performance, cultivate self-learning ability, and improve clinical practice ability and teaching satisfaction.

To report a case with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 11(SPG11)in association with typical thin corpus callosum(TCC)and"Ears-of-the-lynx sign"on MRI imaging.The patient was a 13-year-old boy.The main symptoms are walking instability and falling easily.Over the period of one year,the symptoms gradually progressed when accompanied by poor handwriting and a decrease in learning ability.The parents are not related.Brain MRI shows a thin corpus callosum,and high symmetric signals in the anterior horn of the lateral ventricles on T2 and Flair sequence.WES detected two heterozygous mutations in the SPG11 gene,NM_025137:c.2073delT and c.257+5G>A,respectively from the parents.The proband was finally diagnosed with SPG11.Brain MRI found that TCC and"lynx ear sign"are highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of SPG11.The patients with spastic paraplegia should be considered the possibility of SPG11.
