Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common syndrome type in patients with insomnia. Based on the theory of disease syndrome-combined animal model， this paper used multiple databases to search for the keywords "heart and spleen deficiency"， "insomnia"， "sleepless"， "disease syndrome-combined animal model"， "model evaluation"， etc. It selected the literature related to the animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency in the past 20 years to evaluate from the aspects of model establishment， modeling factors， syndrome model， disease model， macro characterization & macro characterization evaluation scale， micro indicators， etc. It is found that the existing animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency is not completely constructed by the method of disease syndrome combination of disease modeling factors and syndrome modeling factors. In the model using this method， the single establishment factor of heart and spleen deficiency does not conform to the clinical reality of disease， and the selection of the factors for the insomnia model is not closely related to or even separated from the syndrome performance. There is a problem of insufficient quantification of macro representation when the macro representation of the model replaces the symptoms related to heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and insomnia in an equivalent manner for macro representation evaluation， which can be improved according to the quantitative ideas and examples of the existing macro representation and macro representation evaluation scale. There are few specific indicators of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in micro indicators. The micro research of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and the essence of other traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes can be carried out by metabonomics and other technologies combined with the theory of corresponding prescription and syndrome， along the specific related ideas of "prescription and syndrome， treatment principle and selection of prescription， treatment principle and selection of acupoints， as well as therapeutic mechanism and syndrome essence". The future users and researchers of animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency can get improved methods and ideas through the shortcomings of animal models of heart and spleen deficiency listed in this paper and construct animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency that are more suitable for clinical practice， so as to establish a more perfect modeling method and evaluation system of disease syndrome-combined animal model.

Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

Objective:To investigate the effect of progression of disease within 24 months(POD24)on overall survival(OS)in patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL),and compare the clinical characteristics between POD24 and non-POD24 patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 50 MCL patients with treatment indications and regular treatment who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to August 2020.According to the occurrence of POD24,the patients were grouped for prognostic evaluation and clinical characteristics comparison.Results:Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24,PLT,albumin,MIPI score,ECOG PS score,LDH were the factors influencing OS in newly diagnosed MCL patients(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24[HR=16.797(95％CI:3.671-76.861),P＜0.001],albumin＜40 g/L[HR=3.238(95％CI:1.095-9.572),P=0.034]and ECOG PS score≥2[HR=4.005(95％CI:1.033-15.521),P=0.045]were independent risk factors influencing OS in MCL patients.The incidence of PLT＜100 × 109/L(33.3％vs 5.9％,P=0.033)and ECOG PS score≥2(45.5％vs 5.9％,P=0.040)were significantly higher in POD24 patients than those in non-POD24 patients.Conclusion:POD24 is an independent poor prognostic factor affecting the OS of MCL patients,and the patients with PLT＜100 × 109/L and ECOG PS score ≥2 at diagnosis have a higher probability of POD24.

Objective:To investigate the effect of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)on the prognosis of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(AITL)and peripheral T-cell lymphoma,not otherwise specified(PTCL-NOS),and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients in the low EASIX and high EASIX groups.Methods:The clinical data of 59 newly diagnosed AITL and PTCL-NOS patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The optimal cut-off value of EASIX was determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve;The chi-square test was used to analyze the correlation between EASIX and clinical features of patients with AITL and PTCL-NOS;The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)of the patients;Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The optimal cut-off value of EASIX was 0.95,based on which the patients were divided into a low EASIX(＜0.95)group and a high EASIX(≥ 0.95)group.Compared with the low EASIX group,the high EASIX group had a higher proportion of patients with advanced Ann Arbor stage,higher risk according to IPI,elevated LDH,hypoproteinemia,anemia,B symptoms,extranodal involvement,and bone marrow involvement.Survival analysis showed that the OS and PFS of patients in the high EASIX group were significantly shorter than those in the lower EASIX group(P＜0.001).The multivariate analysis showed that EASIX was an independent risk factor for OS[HR=7.217(95％CI:1.959-26.587),P=0.003]and PFS[HR=2.718(95％CI:1.032-7.161),P=0.043]of PTCL patients.Conclusion:High EASIX in newly diagnosed patients with AITL and PTCL-NOS suggests a poor prognosis,and high EASIX is a risk factor affecting prognosis of the patients.

Objective: To establish a novel classification system for predicting the risk of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) events in surgically-treated patients with kyphotic deformity. Methods: Patients with kyphotic deformity who underwent surgical correction of cervicothoracic, thoracic, or thoracolumbar kyphosis in our center from July 2005 to December 2020 were recruited. We proposed a classification system to describe the morphology of the spinal cord on T2-weighted sagittal magnetic resonance imaging: type A, circular/symmetric cord with visible cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the cord and vertebral body; type B, circular/oval/symmetric cord with no visible CSF between the cord and vertebral body; type C, spinal cord that is fattened/deformed by the vertebral body, with no visible CSF between the cord and vertebral body. Furthermore, based on type C, the spinal cord compression ratio (CR) < 50% was defined as the subtype C-, while the spinal cord CR ≥ 50% was defined as the subtype C+. IONM event was documented, and a comparative analysis was made to evaluate the prevalence of IONM events among patients with diverse spinal cord types. Results: A total of 294 patients were reviewed, including 73 in type A; 153 in type B; 53 in subtype C- and 15 in subtype C+. Lower extremity transcranial motor-evoked potentials and/or somatosensory evoked potentials were lost intraoperatively in 41 cases (13.9%), among which 4 patients with type C showed no return of spinal cord monitoring data. The 14 subtype C+ patients (93.3%) had IONM events. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with a type C spinal cord (subtype C-: odds ratio [OR], 10.390; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.215–48.735; p = 0.003; subtype C+, OR, 497.000; 95% CI, 42.126– 5,863.611; p < 0.001) are at significantly higher risk of a positive IONM event during deformity correction compared to those with a type A. In further multiple logistic regression analysis, the spinal cord classification (OR, 5.371; 95% CI, 2.966–9.727; p < 0.001) was confirmed as an independent risk factor for IONM events. Conclusion We presented a new spinal cord classification system based on the relative position of the spinal cord and vertebrae to predict the risk of IONM events in patients with kyphotic deformity. In patients with type C spinal cord, especially those in C+ cases, it is essential to be aware of potential IONM events, and adopt standard operating procedures to facilitate neurological recovery.

Background and purpose:It is still a great challenge to clarify the signal molecules that mediate the communication between cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs)and tumor cells.These signal molecules are very important for cancer metastasis.The purpose of this study was to explore the communication mechanism of pleckstrin-2/miR-196a signal axis mediated by lung cancer cells in tumor microenvironment.Methods:Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line H1299 and human embryonic lung cell MRC-5 were selected as the research objects.H1299 cells were transfected with lentivirus(PLEK2)expressing PLEK2 and Vector control,and exosomes(Vector_exo,PLEK2_exo)were isolated after 24 h of transfection.MRC-5 cells were transfected with miR-196a mimetic or inhibitor.The expressions of PLEK2 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins were analyzed by Western blot.The expression of miR-196a was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and the metastasis and invasion ability of cells were determined by transwell assay.Six female BALB/c-nu mice were randomly divided into Vector group and PLEK2 group,with 3 mice in each group.Mice in each group were injected with H1299 cells transfected with Vector or PLEK2 through the tail vein.After 4 weeks,lung tissue was taken out for H-E staining and immunohistochemical staining to analyze the expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA).All animal experiments were approved by the ethics committee of First Hospital of Changsha City(Changsha Hospital,Xiangya School of Medicine,Central South University)(ethics number:EI-2021-103).Results:Compared with the Vector group,the number of pulmonary metastatic nodules and the expression of α-SMA in metastatic cancer in PLEK2 group increased significantly(P＜0.001).Compared with Vector group,the expression level of miR-196a in H1229 cells in PLEK2 group increased significantly(P＜0.05),and the expression level of miR-196a was significantly higher in PLEK2_exo than in Vector_exo(P＜0.05).Compared with Vector_exo group,the expression levels of miR-196a,α-SMA and fibroblast activation protein(FAP)in MRC-5 cells in PLEK2_exo group increased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with the negative control(NC),the expression levels of α-SMA and FAP in MRC-5 cells transfected with miR-196a increased significantly(P＜0.05).On the contrary,by transfection with miR-196a inhibitors(si-miR-196a#1 and si-miR-196a#),the expression levels of α-SMA and FAP were significantly inhibited(P＜0.05).Compared with NC-CM group,the number of metastatic cells,invasive cells and the expression of vimentin in miR-196a-CM group increased significantly(P＜0.001),and the expression of E-cadherin decreased significantly(P＜0.001).In addition,compared with Vector_exo-CM group,PLEK2_exo-CM group had significant increase in number of metastatic and invasive cells and the expression of vimentin(P＜0.01),and significant decrease in the expression of E-cadherin(P＜0.001).Conclusion:Upregulation of PLEK2 can enhance the level of exosomes miR-196a derived from lung cancer cells,thereby promoting the activation of CAFs.The activated CAFs can further enhance the invasive ability of lung cancer cells.
