Esophageal cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and radical surgery remains the cornerstone of its comprehensive treatment. However, multifactorial challenges such as postoperative gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, traumatic stress, and tumor-related metabolic disturbances render esophageal cancer patients highly susceptible to malnutrition. Perioperative nutritional support therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing surgical safety, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating patients' quality of life by regulating metabolic homeostasis, preserving organ function, and optimizing the immune microenvironment. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying malnutrition in esophageal cancer, methods for nutritional status assessment, and precision intervention pathways based on multi-omics evaluations. The aim is to strengthen clinicians' awareness of standardized perioperative nutritional management for esophageal cancer patients and promote its clinical implementation, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery and improving long-term quality of life.

Although high-efficiency targeted delivery is investigated for years, the efficiency of tumor targeting seems still a hard core to smash. To overcome this problem, we design a three-step delivery strategy based on streptavidin-biotin interaction with the help of c(RGDfK), magnetic fields and lasers. The ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USIONPs) modified with c(RGDfK) and biotin are delivered at step 1, followed by streptavidin and the doxorubicin (Dox) loaded nanosystems conjugated with biotin at steps 2 and 3, respectively. The delivery systems were proved to be efficient on A549 cells. The co-localization of signal for each step revealed the targeting mechanism. The external magnetic field could further amplify the endocytosis of USPIONs based on c(RGDfK), and magnify the uptake distinctions among different test groups. Based on photoacoustic imaging, laser-heating treatment could enhance the permeability of tumor venous blood vessels and change the insufficient blood flow in cancer. Then, it was noticed that only three-step delivery with laser-heating and magnetic fields realized the highest tumor distribution of nanosystem. Finally, the magnetism/laser-auxiliary cascaded delivery exhibited the best antitumor efficacy. Generally, this study demonstrated the necessity of combining physical, biological and chemical means of targeting.

Objective:To explore surgical techniques and summarize surgical experience of the paraumbilical flap pedicled with deep inferior epigastric vessels for the repiration of soft tissue defects in pelvic area.Methods:Between August, 2006 and August, 2018, 8 patients with soft tissue defects and bone exposure were treated with paraumbilical flap pedicled with deep inferior epigastric vessels. There were 6 males and 2 females with the average age of 35.3 (range, 12-47) years. The defects were caused by car accident in 5 cases, by high falling injury in 1 case, by soft tissue necrosis after malignant schwannoma resection in 1 case, and by soft tissue necrosis after pelvic operation of open reduction internal fixation in 1 case. The defects located at iliac spine in 5 cases, at tuber ischii in 1 case, and at buttock and perineal region in 1 case. The size of the wounds ranged from 11.0 cm×6.0 cm to 22.0 cm×8.0 cm. The size of the flaps ranged from 13.0 cm×7.0 cm to 29.0 cm×12.0 cm. The followed-up was made by outpatinet service, telephone or WeChat.Results:All flaps survived, and the wound infection was controlled. The followed-up time ranged from 12 to 46 (mean 26) months. All flaps survived uneventfully, and the texture and elasticity of the flaps were good. There were no recurrence of infection, and no ventral hernias occurred in donor sites.Conclusion:The transfer of paraumbilical flap pedicled with deep inferior epigastric vessels is a reliable method to repair large soft tissue defects in iliac spine, perineal region, buttock and tuber ischii.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the mental health status of subway employees, and to explore the relationship among their mental health, psychological capital and work engagement. METHODS: Using the typical sampling method, a total of 2 758 subway employees from a rail transit group Co., Ltd in a city were selected as the study subjects. The Symptom Check List 90, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used to investigate the mental health, psychological capital and work engagement of the study subjects. RESULTS: The screening positive rate of mental disorder of the study subjects was 15.6%(431/2 758), and the median scores of mental health, psychological capital, and work engagement were 108, 109, and 62 points, respectively. The mental health scores of the study subjects were negatively correlated with their psychological capital and work engagement scores [Spearman correlation coefficient(r_S) were-0.55 and-0.57, respectively, P<0.01]. The psychological capital score was positively correlated with the work engagement score(r_S=0.70, P<0.01).Mental health played a partial mediating role in the influence of psychological capital on work engagement(mediating effect was 0.07, 95% correlation coefficient: 0.06-0.08, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The mental health status of the subway employees is good. Psychological capital of subway employees can not only directly affect work engagement, but also indirectly affect work engagement by influencing mental health.

To determine clinical and pathologic profiles for anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).
 Methods: The clinical data of 22 patients with ALCL were analyzed retrospectively. Therapentie effect of different treatment strategies on ALCL was evaluated.
 Results: The median age for these patients was 32(9-70) years old and the patients with positive ALK accounted for 68.2% (15/22). All patients underwent chemotherapy, including regiments of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone), CHOPE (CHOP plus etoposide) or BEACOP (CHOP plus etoposide and bleomycin). Fourteen (63.6%) patients achieved initial complete remission (CR) and the CR rate for patients with ALK+ was significantly higher than that of patients with ALK- (P<0.05), while the age, gender, stage, beta 2-microglobulin (2-MG) level, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, B symptoms had no significant effect on the rate of CR (P>0.05). After a median follow-up of 41 (2-150) months, 12 patients were overall survival, the median progression free time was 22.5 (2-150) months, and the age, gender, stage, IPI index, ALK expression level, beta 2-MG level, LDH level, and B symptoms had no significant effect on the rate of overall survival (P>0.05).
 Conclusion: ALK-positive occurs mainly in ALCL patients. The chemotherapy is still the main treatment, and CHOPE regimen is a better initial treatment scheme because the most patients show good prognosis.

Adielectrophoresis-basedmicrofluidicchipappliedtocellspatterningisdesignedandfabricated, and it demonstrates non-contact and batch manipulation of cells. The microfluidic chip employs a PDMS microchannel and two ITO electrodes, which are designed as astep shape. The distribution of electric field caused by the microelectrodes is simulated by finite element simulation software, COMSOL. The position of the maximum intensity of electric field is also determined. The ITO microelectrodes and the PDMS microchannel are fabricated using MEMS fabrication process. After oxygen plasma surface treatment, the PDMS microchannel and glass substrate with the ITO microelectrodes are aligned and bonded to form experimental microfluidic chip. Through DEP experiment with the varying frequencies, DEP response of yeast cells is examined, and the electric field frequency of the both positive and negative DEP responses are confirmed. The results showed that yeast cells in solution conductivity of 60 μS/cm had negative DEP movement at the frequency of 1 kHz to 10 kHz, positive DEP movement at the 500 kHz to 10 MHz, and no DEP movement at the 50 kHz. Under the condition of the sinusoidal potential of 8Vp-p and the electric field frequency of 5 MHz, the yeast cells were aligned into chains along the step edge of microelectrodes.
