Objective:To investigate the current status of application of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in China, aiming to provide reference for promoting the development of this technology.Methods:From January to March 2024, a questionnaire was designed and distributed online, targeting member units of the Professional Committee of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Treatment, which covers 175 radiotherapy units in 30 provinces and regions nationwide. The survey focused on the current application of SBRT technology and its utilization in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A statistical description of the survey results was presented.Results:Of 175 questionnaires distributed, a total of 130 valid responses were collected, with an effective response rate of 74.3%. A total of 81.5% (106/130) of the units had implemented SBRT technology, and 99.1% of the respondents believed it was necessary to further promote SBRT technology, yet the actual training rate was only 67.0%. SBRT equipment configuration: there were a total of 267 SBRT equipment, featuring a diverse range of types, with traditional linear accelerators as the mainstays, accounting for 76.0% ( n=203), followed by 12.0% ( n=32) for TOMO, 6.4% ( n=17) for Cyber knife, 3.7% ( n=10) for Gamma knife, and proton/heavy ion equipment at 1.5% ( n=4), respectively. The percentage of units with multi-leaf collimator leaf widths ≤0.5 cm was 93.4% (99/106). The application of SBRT: the first radiotherapy unit commenced SBRT in 2000, and this technology entered a period of rapid growth after 2015, sustaining a steady increase over the past decade; SBRT technology was mainly applied in the brain, lung, liver, bone, adrenal gland, and kidney, with application rates of 97.2%, 94.3%, 86.8%, 71.7%, 56.6%, and 27.4%, respectively, while the application rates for the pancreas, metastatic lymph nodes, and other parts were less than 5%. Current status of SBRT technology application in early-stage NSCLC: 90.6% (96/106) of units had implemented SBRT; pre-treatment multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment accounted for 77% (74/96); the proportion of application units for peripheral and central type lung cancer lesions both exceeded 57.3%, whereas the application rate for ultra-central type and lesions > 5 cm lung cancer was less than 30%; there was significant variability in the selection of reference guidelines, dose fractionation patterns, and the concept of central type among units. Conclusions:The development of SBRT technology in China is in a period of steady growth, but several issues such as low training rate and lack of standardization still exist. The survey results provide important reference for clinical training and promotion of SBRT technology in China.

Objective:To observe the effects of overexpression of S100A4 protein on retinal capillary cells and retinal ganglion cells (RGC) after retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI).Methods:One hundred healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group (group C), RIRI group, adeno-associated virus (AAV2)-S100A4 green fluorescent protein (GFP) intravitreal injection group (group S), RIRI+AAV2-GFP intravitreal injection group (group GIR), and RIRI+AAV2-S100A4-GFP intravitreal injection group (group SIR), with 20 mice in each group. The RIRI model was established using the high intraocular pressure anterior chamber method in the RIRI, GIR and SIR groups of mice. Eyes were enucleated 3 days after modelling by over anaesthesia. The number of retinal capillary endothelial cells and pericytes in the retinal capillaries of mice in each group was observed by retinal trypsinised sections and hematoxylin-eosin and periodic acid-Schiff staining; immunofluorescence staining was used to observe endothelial cell, pericyte coverage and RGC survival; The relative expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), p38 MAPK and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) in retinal tissues was measured by Western blot. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare data between groups.Results:Three days after modeling, the endothelial cell to pericyte ratio in group C was compared with group S and SIR, and the difference was not statistically significant ( F=106.30, P>0.05); the SIR group was compared with group RIRI and GIR, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=106.30, P<0.000 1). Comparison of endothelial cell coverage in each group, the difference was not statistically significant ( F=3.44, P>0.05); compared with the pericyte coverage in group C, the RIRI group and the GIR group were significantly lower, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=62.69, P <0.001). Compared with the RGC survival rate in group C, it was significantly lower in RIRI and GIR groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=171.60, P<0.000 1); compared with RIRI and GIR groups, the RGC survival rate in SIR group was significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=171.60, P<0.000 1). The relative expression levels of TLR4, p38 and NRF2 proteins were statistically significant among all groups ( F=42.65, 20.78, 11.55; P<0.05). Conclusions:Pericytes are more sensitive to ischemia than endothelial cells after retinal RIRI in mice, and early vascular cell loss is dominated by pericytes rather than endothelial cells. The overexpression of S100A4 protein protects against loss of pericytes and RGC after RIRI by inhibiting the TLR4/p38/NRF2 signaling pathway.

Objectives:To analyze the clinical prognosis stratification of fetal heart disease(FHD)and the mid-term follow-up results following integrated prenatal and postnatal management. Methods:Present retrospective analysis was performed on 817 fetuses diagnosed with FHD by fetal echocardiography in Fuwai Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences(Fuwai Hospital)from the 8th February 2018 to 30th April 2022.According to the Chinese expert consensus on fetal prognosis score of congenital heart disease(CHD)and Fuwai Hospital Pediatric Center score,FHD was divided into grade Ⅰ(0 point),grade Ⅱ(1-3 points),grade Ⅲ(4-6 points)and grade Ⅳ(7-9 points).For FHD fetuses that need to be treated in the neonatal period,the whole closed-loop management and treatment were completed,including pregnancy,birth,neonatal monitoring,surgery,and follow-up.The clinical data and mid-term follow-up results of FHD fetuses were analyzed. Results:A total of 752 fetuses completed the mid-term follow-up.The mean follow-up time was(18.5±2.3)months.There were 111 cases(14.8%)of FHD grade Ⅰ,251 cases(33.4%)of FHD grade Ⅱ,275 cases(33.6%)of FHD grade Ⅲ and 115 cases(15.3%)of FHD grade Ⅳ.There were 393 cases(52.2%)of fetal preservation,1 case(0.2%)of intrauterine death,and 358 cases(47.6%)of induced abortion.Compared with the induced fetus,the pregnant women in the reserved fetus group were older,the gestational age was longer,the rate of receiving noninvasive DNA and amniocentesis was lower,the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic abnormalities was smaller,and the FHD prognostic score was lower(all P<0.05).One case(0.9%)of FHD grade Ⅰ fetus experienced intrauterine fetal death,and 110 cases(99.1%)were born and recovered.164 cases(65.3%)of grade Ⅱ fetuses were born,and all of them were cured by surgery or spontaneously.118 cases(42.9%)of grade Ⅲ fetuses were born,117 cases completed biventricular radical operation,and 1 case completed two-stage operation waiting for the second stage biventricular radical operation.One case(0.9%)of grade Ⅳ was born and completed the two-stage bidirectional Glenn procedure.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅱ fetuses,8(9.2%)had abnormal chromosomal or genetic testing results,and 8(9.2%)had other organ abnormalities.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅲ fetuses,5 cases(3.2%)had chromosomal abnormalities,5 cases(3.2%)had genetic abnormalities,and 9 cases(5.7%)had other organ abnormalities.There was only one case(0.9%)of FHD Ⅳ with hypoplastic left heart syndrome,which was retained as one of the twins and was born successfully.Norwood one-stage procedure was performed in the neonatal period,and two-stage bidirectional Greene procedure was performed at 6 months after birth.Other fetuses were induced following the choice of maternity and their family members. Conclusions:Hierarchical management based on clinical prognosis is helpful to scientifically guide the integrated treatment of FHD fetuses and improve the success rate of treatment of FHD fetuses with good prognosis.

Objectives:To summarize the experience of echocardiographic diagnosis and the short-term post-operative outcome of children with cardiac tumors. Methods:A total of 27 infants and children,who underwent echocardiography examination and were preliminarily diagnosed with cardiac tumors in Fuwai Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023,were retrospectively included in this study.Clinical symptoms,echocardiographic results,surgical and perioperative results and early outcomes were analyzed. Results:Among the 27 patients,16 were males.The age ranged from 1 month to 11 years(mean age:[3.2±2.5]years)and the body weight ranged from 5.7 to 40.0 kg(mean body weight:[17.2±11.2]kg).Cardiac tumors were pathologically confirmed in 25 cases,including 14 cases of fibroma,5 cases of rhabdomyoma,3 cases of myxoma,2 cases of lipoma,1 case of hemangioma.Preoperative echocardiographic diagnosis was consistent with postoperative pathologic diagnosis in 14 cases.Nontumor lesions were misdiagnosed as tumors by echocardiography in 2 cases.All the patients underwent surgery,complications occurred in 2 cases early post surgery and underwent reoperations and recovered well.There were no deaths during a median follow-up of 29.8(6.5,72.0)months,recurrence occurred in one child with myxoma. Conclusions:Pediatric patients with cardiac tumors have specific echocardiographic manifestations.It is necessary to sum up related experience constantly to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Short-term outcome post-surgery is satisfactory for the treatment of benign pediatric cardiac tumors.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of ciprofol for sedation and anesthesia outside the operating room.Methods Databases such as PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang Data,CBM,and VIP were searched for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)related to the efficacy and safety of ciprofol for sedation and anesthesia outside the operating room.The search covered all publications up to June 2023.Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software and Stata 15.0.Results Twelve RCTs were included,involving 2 192 patients,of which 1 154 were in the ciprofol group and 1 038 in the propofol group.Compared with the propofol group,the anesthesia induction time(MD=0.28 min,95％CI 0.08-0.47 min,P=0.006)and recovery time(MD=1.16 min,95％CI 0.44-1.87 min,P=0.001)were significantly longer in the ciprofol group,and the inci-dences of injection pain(OR=0.04,95％CI 0.02-0.06,P＜0.001),hypotension(OR=0.64,95％CI 0.49-0.83,P=0.0008),hypoxemia(OR=0.44,95％CI 0.21-0.91,P=0.03),and respirato-ry depression(OR=0.19,95％CI 0.11-0.32,P＜0.001)were significantly lower.There were no sta-tistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of sedation success rate,physician satisfac-tion,the difference in heart rate before and after anesthesia induction,incidence of body movement,brady-cardia,nausea and vomiting,and dizziness.Conclusion The anesthetic effect of cyclopofol and propofol is similar when used for anesthesia outside the operating room.Compared to propofol,ciprofol offers comparable anesthetic effects for sedation and anesthesia outside the operating room,with a lesser impact on respiratory function and more stable hemodynamics.Ciprofol also significantly lowers the incidence of adverse reactions such as injection pain,hypotension,hypoxemia,and respiratory depression.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and predictive indicators of stellate ganglion block （SGB） as an adjunctive intervention for chronic subjective tinnitus and accumulate experience for the application of SGB in the clinical treatment of tinnitus. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on the data of chronic subjective tinnitus patients who received SGB intervention， with unsatisfactory outcomes otherwise. Pure tone audiometry （PTA）， tinnitus loudness evaluation and Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） were used. The tinnitus handicap inventory （THI） scores were compared before and after SGB intervention. Correlation analysis and linear regression equations were employed to identify the potential indicators predicting the effectiveness of SGB intervention. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 24.0 software. ResultsBy April 2023， a total of 107 patients with chronic subjective tinnitus had undergone SGB intervention， including 67 male and 40 female， with a mean age of （45.32±11.40） years old and an average tinnitus history of （20.32±24.64） months ［16 （12~20）］. Only 7 patients （6.54%） quitted the intervention for personal reasons， which demonstrated good compliance with the intervention. No patients experienced adverse reactions such as infection at the injection site， hematoma， nerve injury， local anesthetic intoxication and so on， which revealed good safety. After SGB intervention， THI scores decreased to below 36 points in 77 patients and decrease by 10 points or more in 12 of the remaining patients， with a total effective rate of 89%. A paired sample t-test showed a significant difference in THI scores before and after SGB intervention （t=15.575， P<0.001）， indicating good improvement. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that pre-intervention THI scores and subjective tinnitus loudness were significantly positively correlated with the improvement level of THI scores （P<0.05）. Further stepwise linear regression analysis found that "pre-intervention THI scores" had statistical significance （P<0.001）， with a regression coefficient of 0.308， predicting a 17.4% improvement level in THI scores. ConclusionsDue to its good and safe short-term effects， SGB intervention can be used as a supplementary option for chronic subjective tinnitus when other interventions are not ideal， especially for patients with higher THI scores. However， further research is needed to clarify the long-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms， in order to establish a more solid theoretical basis for SGB intervention in the treatment of subjective tinnitus.

ObjectiveTo explore the drug resistance of Morganella morganii （Mm） and the risk factors for extended-spectrum β-lactamase （ESBL） positive infection in type 2 diabetes foot （DF） patients with Mm， and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods310 samples of DF patients with Mm infection were collected from Shanghai Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to March 2023. The patients were selected for the first time to detect Mm bacteria through cultivation， and were divided into ESBL producing group （n=45） and non ESBL producing group （n=265）. Bacterial identification and drug sensitivity experiments on Mm were conducted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors. The stepwise regression method （SRM） was used to screen the most important correlation factors for constructing risk prediction model and its evaluation. ResultsBoth ESBL producing and non ESBL producing Mm were sensitive to imipenem （IPM） and meropenem （MEM）. Compared with the non ESBL producing group， the resistance of Mm in the ESBL producing group to other tested antibiotics ［excluding ampicillin （AM）/sulbactam （SU）］ was higher （P<0.05）. Aged ≥60 years old， concomitant hypoproteinemia （HP）， combined use of antibiotics， and history of third-generation cephalosporin use were all independent risk factors for the occurrence of ESBL producing strain infection （P<0.05）. SRM screening identified age， HP， and use of third-generation cephalosporins as the most associated factors with ESBL producing strain infection， and these three factors were included in the multivariate logistic regression prediction model. After calculation， when P=0.80， the Jordan index was the highest and the prediction effect was the best. The prediction accuracy was 89.35%， the sensitivity was 86.67%， and the specificity was 89.81%. The model evaluation results showed that the predictive model has good discrimination and high accuracy. ConclusionThe Mm strain producing ESBL has strong resistance to commonly used antibiotics， and it is recommended that clinical physicians use antibiotics reasonably. Age， HP， combined use of antibiotics， and use of third-generation cephalosporins are all independent risk factors for the occurrence of ESBL producing bacterial infections. Clinical monitoring should be carried out on susceptible populations based on risk factors， and infection management should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of mechanical phlebitis(MP)during peripherally inserted central catheterization(PICC)in very/extremely low birth weight infants(VLBWI/ELBWI)in neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU).Methods The clinical data of VLBWI/ELBWI who underwent PICC catheterization were retrospectively analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of MP.Results The incidence of MP after implementa-tion of PICC in VLBWI/ELBWI was 26.1％(116/444).Univariate analysis showed that the position of catheter tip,catheter vein,gestational age,body mass at birth,gestational age when cathetering,body mass when cathetering,puncture times and length were influencing factors for MP in VLBWI/ELBWI(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal position ofcathe-ter tip(OR=2.526;95％CI,1.532 to 4.164)and puncture times ≥ 2 times(OR=1.952;95％CI,1.017 to 3.747)were independent risk factors.Conclusion The abnormal catheter tip position and the number of puncturing ≥2 times increase the risk of mechanical phlebitis in VLBWI/ELBWI after PICC.Early intervention should be taken as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of MP so as to relieve infants'pain and improve the quality of clinical care.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and oncology are rapidly integrated and developed, gradually moving towards clinical application. In China, the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer rank first among various tumors. The development of AI technologies such as convolutional neural network, narrow-band imaging magnifying endoscope, full-field digital section and survival circulation network has the potential to be applied to early screening, auxiliary diagnosis, pathological diagnosis, prognosis analysis, as well as individualized diagnosis and treatment process of gastric cancer. However, AI medical treatment still has many problems such as insufficient data sample size and difficulty in integration. Reasonable design and application of AI technology is expected to provide more scientific and accurate diagnosis and treatment for patients with gastric cancer, improve the overall survival rate and quality of life of patients with gastric cancer, and achieve more breakthroughs in the medical field.
