Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objective To assess the clinical feasibility of a self-developed augmented reality(AR)system in surgeries for cerebral arteriovenous malformation(AVM),dural arteriovenous fistula(DAVF),moyamoya,and internal carotid artery stenosis.This system integrates preoperative vascular imaging(CTA,MRA,DSA)with intraoperative real-time visualization through high-precision patient-image registration and virtual-real integration technology.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 6 patients(1 cerebral AVM,1 DAVF,3 moyamoya and 1 internal carotid artery stenosis)collected between March 2023 and April 2024.AR with three-dimensional reconstruction was used for preoperative precise localization and intraoperative navigation guidance.Clinical feasibility was evaluated and analyzed using an intraoperative self-controlled method.Results All 6 patients with diverse etiologies successfully underwent preoperative precise localization and intraoperative navigation guidance under AR three-dimensional reconstruction modeling.This technology achieved visualization of intracranial arteriovenous structures and precise lesion locations,providing surgeons with a visual reference for accurate planning of the surgical approach and operative field.Conclusion The application of AR with three-dimensional reconstruction is safe and feasible in neurosurgical procedures for cerebrovascular diseases.It demonstrates satisfactory effectiveness in preoperative localization and intraoperative navigation guidance.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 11(SNHG11)and hypoxia inducible factor(HIF)-1α and angiogenesis mimicry(VM)in ovarian cancer.Methods A total of 116 ovarian cancer patients admitted to Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from October 2019 to January 2023 were regarded as the research subjects.Based on whether VM had formed,ovarian cancer patients were grouped into VM group(n=51)and non VM group(n=65).Another 50 partients who underwent health examinations during the same period were regarded as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was applied to detect the expression levels of LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α in serum of ovarian cancer patients and control groups.Spearman correlation was applied to detect the relationship between LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and VM formation.The diagnostic value of LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and their combined detection in the formation of VM in ovarian cancer patients was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum LncRNA SNHG11(3.01±0.88,2.21±0.68 vs 1.12±0.35)and HIF-1α(2.16±0.67,1.60±0.44 vs 1.01±0.31)in ovarian cancer patients with VM group and non VM group were increased(t=12.136,9.006;19.890,16.591,all P＞0.05),the levels of serum LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1αin the VM group were obviously higher than those in the non VM group(t=8.957,8.595),and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The expression of LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and the formation of VM were not related to age and tissue type(t=1.036,0.976,0.218;1.254,1.390,0.368,all P＞0.05),but were related to tumor size,FIGO staging,lymph node metastasis,and pathological grading(t=5.351,5.186,13.264;5.465,5.227,10.898;6.063,6.016,5.374;4.030,5.871,5.509,all P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that there were obvious positive correlations between LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and VM generation(r=0.560,0.494,all P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the areas under the curve(AUCs)of serum LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α for diagnosing VM formation in ovarian cancer patients were 0.860 and 0.824,respectively,with sensitivity of 80.4%and 75.6%,specificity of 58.9%and 51.9%,respectively.The AUC of VM formation in ovarian cancer patients diagnosed by the combination of the two was 0.941,with sensitivity and specificity were 92.2%and 79.9%,respectively.Conclusion The abnormal expressions of LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α were closely related to the formation of VM in ovarian cancer patients,and both may serve as potential biological indicators for judging VM.

Objective To analyze the influence of shaping on the bending strength of bone plates and the influence of different locking nail distributions on plate force to provide biomechanical references for shaping plates and selecting different locking nail distributions.Methods Finite element simulation analysis of the four-point bending strength of a plate was performed according to the YY/T 0342-2020 standard.Theoretical analysis and finite element simulation method were used to analyze the force on prosthesis models with different lock-nail distributions.Results At 30° bending,the 3.7 mm-thick plate had 28%higher equivalent plastic strain than the 2.7 mm-thick plate.The 3.7 and 2.7 mm-thick plates had ultimate bending angles of 55° and 67°,respectively.The crease had little impact on the plate stress.The four-point bending strength and equivalent bending stiffness of the unshapeed structure were 2.64 N·m and 1.12 N·m2,respectively.The four-point bending strength and equivalent bending stiffness with the crease were 2.63 N·m and 1.10 N·m2,respectively.After forward and backward bending,the four-point bending strength of the plate decreased from 2.64 to 2.45 N·m by approximately 7.72%,and the equivalent bending stiffness decreased from 1.12 to 0.98 N·m2 by approximately 12%.The impact was obvious.After implantation of tamponade screws,the four-point bending strength of the single-hole plate improved significantly from 2.64 to 3.15 N·m,by approximately 19.32%and the equivalent bending stiffness increased from 1.12 to 1.14 N·m2,by approximately 2.1%.At least two locking holes were reserved on both sides of the fracture line.Not inserting the locking screw reduced the stress by approximately 50%compared with the full insertion of the locking screw.During 15-week postoperative walking without bone callus formation,the material stress of TC4 reached 852.7 MPa and yielding occurred.Conclusions In a clinical scenario where larger shaping is required,it is not suitable for plates with larger thicknesses and plate fractures are more likely to occur after large-thickness shaping.This can guide the clinical selection of plates with appropriate thickness based on the shaping angle,and tamponade screws can be implanted in extreme cases.Fixing locking screws clinically is recommended;however,a method of fixing the locking screws with full screws is not recommended.The biomechanical effect is best when two locking holes at both ends of the fracture line are maintained without fixing the locking screws.

Objective: First-line bevacizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (CP) is approved for stage III/IV ovarian cancer treatment following initial surgical resection, based on global phase III GOG-0218 and ICON7 trials. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab + CP as first-line ovarian cancer therapy in Chinese patients. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III/IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer post-primary surgery were randomized 1:1 to receive 6 cycles of CP with bevacizumab/ placebo, followed by bevacizumab/placebo maintenance until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Stratification factors were FIGO stage and debulking status (stage III optimally debulked vs stage III suboptimally debulked vs stage IV) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (0 vs 1 or 2). Results: Of randomized patients, 51 received bevacizumab + CP and 49 received placebo + CP. Median PFS was 22.6 months with bevacizumab + CP (95% confidence interval [CI]=18.6, not estimable) and 12.3 months (95% CI=9.5, 15.0) with placebo + CP (stratified hazard ratio=0.30; 95% CI=0.17, 0.53). Treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 46 of 49 (94%) patients receiving bevacizumab + CP, and 34 of 50 (68%) receiving placebo + CP. Conclusion Bevacizumab + CP showed clinically meaningful improvement in PFS vs placebo + CP, consistent with GOG-0218 results. Safety data were aligned with the known bevacizumab safety profile. These results support first-line bevacizumab + CP therapy in Chinese patients with ovarian cancer.

OBJECTIVE To explore the molecular mechanism of Compound Dihuang Granule in treating Parkinson's disease(PD)with yin-deficiency and dynamic wind syndrome by regulating the changes of ubiquitin-proteasome system-related proteins.METHODS SPF male SD rats were randomly selected as normal control group and sham operation group,13 rats in each group.The remaining rats were treated with 6-hydroxydopamine lateral brain injection to damage the substantia nigra to establish PD yin-deficien-cy and dynamic wind syndrome rat model.The established rats were randomly divided into model group,madopar group(150 mg·kg-1),low,medium and high dose groups of Compound Dihuang Granule(1.75,3.5,7 g·kg-1),13 rats in each group.Each group was given drugs by intragastric gavage for 28 d.The general conditions and neurobehavioral manifestations of the rats were observed;the expression of ubiquitin(UB),ubiquitin activating enzyme(UBE1),ubiquitin conjugating enzyme(UBE2A)and ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase(UCH-L1)positive cells,protein and mRNA expression levels in the damaged lateral stria-tum of the brain of rats were detected by immunohistochemistry,Western blot and qPCR methods;changes of dopamine(DA)content in the damaged lateral striatum of the brain of rats were detected by ELISA.RESULTS There was no significant difference in general conditions between the normal control group and the sham operation group,and there was no significant difference in the number of ro-tations,suspension time and number of moving grids.Compared to the sham-op group,the model group rats showed poor spirit,irrita-bility,limb tremor,slow movement,dark yellow fur,less food intake,reduced body weight;the modeling increased number of rota-tions,decreased hanging time and number of moving grids(P<0.01),significantly decreased expression of UB,UBE1,UBE2A,and UCH-L1 positive cells,mRNA and protein expression levels in the damaged lateral striatum(P<0.01),and significantly decreased DA content(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the general condition of the rats in the madopar group and Compound Di-huang Granule groups was improved,the number of rotations was reduced,the hanging time and number of moving grids were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the expression of UB,UBE1,UBE2A,and UCH-L1 positive cells,mRNA and protein expression levels were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the DA content was increased(P<0.01);behavioral tests and the expression levels of various in-dicators were most significantly improved in the madopar group and the high-dose Compound Dihuang Granule group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and there was no statistical significance between the two groups.CONCLUSION Compound Dihuang Granule may play a role in treating PD yin-deficiency and dynamic wind syndrome by regulating the expression of ubiquitin-proteasome system-related proteins,reducing abnormal protein aggregation,and thus alleviating DA content deficiency,and the high-dose Compound Dihuang Granule has the best effect.
