Objective:To translate and adapt the postoperative recovery in children (PRiC) scale, developing a Chinese version for children undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia (PRiC-DTGA) with validated psychometric properties.Methods:The PRiC scale underwent forward-backward translation using Brislin′s model. A convenience sample of DTGA patients from the Department of Anesthesiology, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Mility Force Medical University was enrolled for a cross-sectional survey on postoperative complications. Delphi expert consultation informed cultural adaptation based on survey findings to develop the PRiC-DTGA Chinese version. Psychometric validation included reliability and validity testing in a separate DTGA cohort at the same center (April-October 2024).Results:Results from the cross-sectionalsurvey of 231 children showed that 82.7% (191/231) of them hadat least one postoperative complication within 72 hours, and these complications were mainly mild local symptoms. Additionally, 358 copies of the Chinese version of the PRiC-DTGA scale were distributed; 21 invalid questionnaires with incomplete information were excluded, and a total of 337 cases were included inthe study. The final PRiC-DTGA comprised 22 items across three dimensions including physical comfort, social ability, and negative emotional. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) confirmed all factor loadings>0.4. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated adequate fit: χ 2/df=1.665, tucker-Lewis index (TLI)=0.924, comparative fit index (CFI)=0.896, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR)=0.041, and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.044 (90% CI: 0.035-0.053). Reliability was strong with Cronbach′s α (total scale)=0.853, subscale α=0.632-0.723, split-half reliability=0.824. Validity indices met standards: scale-content validity index (S-CVI)=0.909, Item-CVI range=0.944-1.000, average variance extracted (AVE)=0.473-0.501, composite reliability (CR)=0.830-0.913. Conclusions:The systematically adapted PRiC-DTGA demonstrates robust reliability and validity, serving as an effective tool for assessing postoperative recovery quality in Chinese children following DTGA.

There are millions of patients with taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy （TIPN）， and there is no effective treatment or prevention measure in clinical practice. The occurrence of TIPN may be related to the dosage form of paclitaxel drugs， genetic and molecular markers， drug dosage and chemotherapy cycle， patient factors， etc. At present， drugs for treating TIPN mainly include those that inhibit axonal degeneration （such as dosazosin， tamsulosin）， prevent mitochondrial dysfunction （such as glutathione trisulfides， antioxidants α -lipoic acid）， improve calcium imbalance in the internal environment （Shaoyao gancao decoction， N-type voltage-gated calcium channel inhibitor IPPQ）， and inhibit neuroinflammation （such as chemokine inhibitors and selective interleukin-8 receptor inhibitors DF2726A）. Further exploration of drug treatment strategies targeting different induction mechanisms is expected to become a new direction for precise clinical prevention and personalized treatment of TIPN.

Objective:To compare the results of operative versus interventional treatments in patients presenting with sentinel hemorrhage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of patients presenting with sentinel hemorrhage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from August 2017 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 82 patients who were enrolled in this study, there were 50 males and 32 females, aged (59.0±7.7) years. The patients were divided into the interventional group ( n=42) and the surgical group ( n=40) based on the treatment they received for sentinel hemorrhage. The vascular injury rate, the first operation time for sentinel bleeding, the rate of successful hemostasis in a single operation, the number of deaths and other indicators were compared between groups. Results:In both the two groups of patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage, hepatectomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection and cholecystectomy were mainly performed hepatic artery injury, pancreaticoduodenectomy with gastroduodenal artery injury, and splenectomy with splenic artery injury. In the intervention group, 36 patients (85.7%) were successfully hemostasis after single treatment, and 32 patients (80.0%) in the operation group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=0.47, P=0.492). The first operation time for the intervention group was (40.5±8.5) min and the mortality rate was 2.4% (1/42), which were significantly better than that of the operation group (90.6±20.8) min and 15.0% (6/40) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Interventional therapy can be used as the first-line diagnosis and treatment for sentinel bleeding after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. It has the advantages of a lower mortality rate in treating these patients.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of interleukin-35 gene modified mesenchyma stem cells(MSC)on ameliorating cardiac allograft rejection and prolonging graft survival of transplanted heart in mice.Methods:In this study, IL-35-MSC secreting IL-35 continuously and steadily were successfully constructed in vitro. Abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation model was established successfully. And they were randomly divided into syngeneic control group; saline control group, MSC treatment group and IL-35-MSC experimental group(n=12 each). Six mice were randomly selected for sacrificing at Day 5 post-operation for detecting the related indicators in each group: Hematoxylin eosin staining was used for pathological examination. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed for detecting the concentration of IL-35 in peripheral blood and the proportion of T lymphocyte subsets in spleen was analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM). Then the remaining mice were used for recording the graft survival.Results:The model of abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation in mice was successfully constructed. As compared with saline control group(6.50±0.55 d)and MSC treatment group(12.00±0.89 days), IL-35-MSC significantly alleviated rejection after transplantation and effectively prolonged the survival time of graft(18.50±1.64 days)(n=6, P<0.01). As compared with other groups, percentage of Th17 cells and Th1/Th2 ratio in spleen decreased significantly while the proportion of CD4 + Foxp3 + Treg increased significantly in IL-35-MSC experimental group at Day 5 post-transplantation(n=6, P<0.01). Conclusions:IL-35-MSC may alleviate cardiac allograft rejection and prolong graft survival. And cellular immunotherapy based upon IL-35-MSC may provide a new approach for inducing immune tolerance.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the geometrical matching of a new anatomical adaptive titanium mesh cage (AA-TMC) with the endplate and its effect on cervical segmental alignment reconstruction in single- and two-level anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) and compare the compressive load at the endplate between the AA-TMC and the conventional titanium mesh cage (TMC). METHODS: Twelve cervical cadaveric specimens were used to perform single- and two-level ACCF. The interbody angle (IBA), interbody height (IBH) and the interval between the AA-TMC and the endplate were evaluated by comparison of the pre- and postoperative X-ray images. The maximum load at the endplate was compared between the AA-TMC and TMC based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2267 standard. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between the preoperative and postoperative IBA and IBH in either single-level ACCF (11.62°±2.67° 12.13°±0.69° and 23.90±2.18 mm 24.23±1.13 mm, respectively; > 0.05) or two-level ACCF (15.63°±5.06° 16.16°±1.05°and 42.93±3.51 mm 43.04±1.70 mm, respectively; > 0.05). The mean interval between the AA-TMC and the endplate was 0.37 ± 0.3 mm. Compared to the conventional TMC, the use of AA-TMC significantly increased the maximum load at the endplate in both single-level ACCF (719.7±5.5 N 875.8±5.2 N, < 0.05) and two-level ACCF (634.3±5.9 N 873±6.1 N, < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of AA-TMC in single-level and two-level ACCF can significantly increase the maximum load at the endplate to lower the possibility of implant subsidence and allows effective reconstruction of the cervical alignment.

Objective Todetecttheexpressionlevelsoftumornecrosisfactor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)inintracranialaneurysms.Methods Sixteenconsecutivepatients(aneurysm group)with intracranial aneurysm confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA)and clipped by microneurosurgery were enrolled retrospectively. A total of 19 trauma patients without vascular disease confirmed by CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)in the same period were used as a control group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE)staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the aneurysm wall tissue and the colored portions of TNF-α and IL-6 in normal vessel wall,the mean value of optical density after its expression was analyzed,and the intensity of staining was compared. Results (1)Each layer of artery walls of the control group had no obvious TNF-α and IL-6 expression. The inner,media and out membranes of the aneurysm wall tissue of the aneurysm group had positive expression of TNF-αand IL-6. (2)The mean optical densities of TNF-α and IL-6 in patients of the aneurysm group were 0. 182 ± 0. 069 and 0. 148 ± 0.062 respectively,and they were higher than 0. 144 ± 0. 031 and 0. 105 ± 0. 020 of the control group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0. 05). (3)The mean optical densities of TNF-α expression of each layer of the inner,media and out membranes in the aneurysm walls were 0. 224 ± 0. 071,0. 134 ± 0. 040,and 0. 106 ± 0. 065,respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.01). (4)The mean optical density expressed by IL-6 in the out membrane of the aneurysm walls was lower than the media and inner membranes (0. 096 ± 0. 018 vs. 0. 145 ± 0. 050,and 0. 148 ± 0. 070). There were significant differences (P<0. 05). (5)The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that the mean optical density of TNF-αof the aneurysm group was positively correlated with that of IL-6 (r=0. 452, P<0.05).Conclusion TheexpressionlevelsofTNF-αandIL-6intheaneurysmwalltissueare higher,and they may be involved in intracranial aneurysm formation and rupture.
