Objective:To detect the changes in the levels of miR-21-5p and miR-125a-5p modified with 3′-terminal 2′-O-methylation (3′t-2′Ome) in serum extracellular vesicles (EV) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and evaluate their value as auxiliary screening molecular markers for NSCLC patients.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 69 NSCLC patients diagnosed at the Eastern Theater Command General Hospital from May 1st to October 31st,2023, as well as 65 age and gender matched healthy controls during the same period. Two real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) techniques, namely stem-loop method and poly (A) tailed method, were used to detect the levels of 3′t-2′Ome-miR-21-5p and 3′t-2′-Ome miR-125a-5p in serum EV of NSCLC patients and controls.Analyze the correlation between the levels of two types of 3′t-2 ′Ome miRNAs and the differences in clinical stage, pathological classification, and other tumor indicators in patients. Receiver operating characteristic (receiveroperating curve, ROC) curves were used to analyze the efficacy of 3′t-2 ′Ome miR-21-5p and 3′t-2′ Ome miR-125a-5p in serum EV, as well as their combination, in diagnosing NSCLC.Result:Compared with the control group, the levels of 3′t-2′Ome-miR-21-5p in serum EV of NSCLC patients increased [(0.30±0.05) vs (0.35±0.09), t=3.32, P=0.001], while the levels of 3′t-2′Ome-miR-125a-5p decreased [(0.33±0.06 vs 0.25±0.06, t=7.45, P<0.001]. The differences were statistically significant. The expression levels of 2′Ome-miR-21-5p in EV were also significantly elevated in the NSCLC patients at 0-Ⅱ stage, adenocarcinoma patients, and squamous cell carcinoma patients, respectively. Notably, the levels of EV 3′t-2′Ome-miR-21-5p was also statistically significant between the adenocarcinoma patients and squamous cell carcinoma patients [(0.34±0.85) vs (0.40±0.12), P<0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that the levels of 3′t-2 ′Ome miR-21-5p and 3′t-2′ Ome miR-125a-5p in serum EV, as well as their combined AUC for discriminating NSCLC patients, were 0.647(95% CI 0.550-0.743), 0.825(95% CI 0.756-0.894) and 0.860(95% CI 0.797-0.923), respectively. The sensitivity was 92.3%, 80.0%, 89.2%, and the specificity was 46.4%, 73.9%, and 78.3%, respectively. Conclusion:There are changes in the levels of 2 ′Ome miR-21-5p and 2′ Ome miR-125a-5p in the serum EV of NSCLC patients, and the combined detaction has the potential as an auxiliary screening molecular marker of NSCLC patients.

Objective: To investigate the present situation of health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing, so as to provide scientific basis and suggestions for effective implementation of health education on school myopia prevention and control. Methods: From November 6-17, 2023, a total of 551 school doctors and health care teachers from public primary and secondary schools in seven districts of Beijing were investigated by using stratified random cluster sampling method. The contents included basic information, the basic situation of school health work, and the status of myopia prevention and control in schools. The data was described by frequency and proportion. Chisquare test was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: A total of 89.8% of the respondents were found in the school of offering health education courses about myopia prevention and control. Among these respondents, 54.5% were equipped with health education course material of professional myopia prevention and control, and the teachers were primarily class teachers (57.6%), health care teachers (45.5%), and physical education teachers (45.1%), and most of the classes were conducted once a month (33.7%) and once a semester (28.1%). A total of 95.6% of the subjects had health education activities about myopia prevention and control at their schools. The frequency of activities was once a month (38.5%) and once a semester (27.9%). There were statistically significant differences of the report rate in setting up health education courses on myopia prevention and control, and the frequency of activities in different areas and different types of schools (χ2=19.53, 13.15, 34.30, 20.32, P<0.05). Conclusions Health education on school myopia prevention and control in primary and middle schools in Beijing is supportive. But health education courses taught by professional teachers should pay attention to the norms of the course material to complete a certain amount of class time, and development of health education activities should be diversified, so as to effectively implement health education of myopia prevention and control at school.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and the factors that influence it in patients with non-gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) who are at low risk of recurrence.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Clinicopathologic and prognostic data from patients with non-gastric GISTs and at low risk of recurrence (i.e., very low-risk or low-risk according to the 2008 version of the Modified NIH Risk Classification), who attended 18 medical centers in China between January 2000 and June 2023, were collected. We excluded patients with a history of prior malignancy, concurrent primary malignancy, multiple GISTs, and those who had received preoperative imatinib. The study cohort comprised 1,571 patients with GISTs, 370 (23.6%) of whom were at very low-risk and 1,201 (76.4%) at low-risk of recurrence. The cohort included 799 (50.9%) men and 772 (49.1%) women of median age 57 (16–93) years. Patients were followed up to July 2024. The prognosis and its influencing factors were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curves for tumor diameter and Ki67 were established, and the sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and optimal cut-off value with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Propensity score matching was implemented using the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method with a matching tolerance of 0.02.Results:With a median follow-up of 63 (12–267) months, the 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates of the 1,571 patients were 99.5% and 98.0%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 96.3% and 94.4%, respectively. During postoperative follow-up, 3.8% (60/1,571) patients had disease recurrence or metastasis, comprising 0.8% (3/370) in the very low-risk group and 4.7% (57/1,201) in the low-risk group. In the low-risk group, recurrence or metastasis occurred in 5.5% (25/457) of patients with duodenal GISTs, 3.9% (25/645) of those with small intestinal GISTs, 9.2% (6/65) of those with rectal GISTs, and 10.0% (1/10) of those with colonic GISTs. Among the 60 patients with metastases, 56.7% (34/60) of the metastases were located in the abdominal cavity, 53.3% (32/60) in the liver, and 3.3% (2/60) in bone. During the follow-up period, 13 patients (0.8%) died of disease. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for tumor diameter and Ki67 and assessed using the Jordon index. This showed that the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for tumor diameter was 3.5 cm (AUC 0.731, 95% CI: 0.670–0.793, sensitivity 77.7%, specificity 64.1%). Furthermore, the difference in DFS between the two groups was statistically significant when the cutoff value for Ki67 was 5% (AUC 0.693, 95% CI: 0.624–0.762, sensitivity 60.7%, specificity 65.3%). Multifactorial analysis revealed that tumor diameter ≥3.5 cm, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were independent risk factors for DFS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). Furthermore, age >57 years, Ki67 ≥5%, and R1 resection were also independent risk factors for OS in patients with non-gastric GISTs at low risk of recurrence (all P<0.05). We also grouped the patients according to whether they had received postoperative adjuvant treatment with imatinib for 1 or 3 years. This yielded 137 patients in the less than 1-year group, 139 in the 1-year plus group; and 44 in both the less than 3 years and 3-years plus group. After propensity score matching for age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and resection status, the differences in survival between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The 10-year DFS and OS were 87.5% and 95.5%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 1 year and 88.5% and 97.8%, respectively, in the group treated for more than 1 year. The 10-year DFS and OS were 89.6% and 92.6%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for less than 3 years and 88.0% and 100.0%, respectively, in the group treated with imatinib for more than 3 years. Conclusion:The overall prognosis of primary, non-gastric, low recurrence risk GISTs is relatively favorable; however, recurrences and metastases do occur. Age, tumor diameter, Ki67, and R1 resection may affect the prognosis. For some patients with low risk GISTs, administration of adjuvant therapy with imatinib for an appropriate duration may help prevent recurrence and improve survival.

Objective To explore the effect of melatonin(MT)-modified PEEK implant assisted by polydopamine(PDA)coating on osteointegration in osteoporotic rats.Methods MT was adhered to PEEK implants with PDA coating as carrier.The physicochemical properties of the materials were analyzed by SEM image,water contact angle,FTIR and protein adsorption experiment.OVX-rBMSCs were inoculated on the surface of PEEK sheet and cultured.The cytoskeleton was stained and cell adhesion morphology was observed.Cell proliferation activity was evaluated by CCK-8 assay;key enzyme activities for osteogenic differentiation were analyzed by ALP stai-ning,and expression levels of osteoblast-related genes COL-1,Runx2,OPN,OCN,BMP-2 and ALP were detected by quantitative real-time PCR.In addition,implants were implanted into the femur of osteoporotic rats and bone volume on the implant surface was de-tected and quantified by Micro-CT.Results MT was successfully loaded on PEEK;the cell adhesion was better,and the proliferation activity and osteogenic differentiation ability were significantly higher than those of control group(P＜0.01).In the rat osteoporosis mod-el,there was more new bone formation around the modified PEEK implant(P＜0.01).Conclusion MT-modified PEEK implants have excellent biocompatibility and improve osteointegration in an osteoporotic environment.

Objective:To explore the effects of mechanical factors on the morphology of the growth plate and proximal femur development, in order to provide a mechanical basis for the mechanism of Cam lesions in femoral acetabular impingement (FAI).Methods:Using CT scan data of hip joint from adolescents, we constructed three-dimensional finite element models of normal and extended proximal femoral epiphyseal growth plates. Dynamic mechanics and position data from daily activities (walk, stand on one and two feet, go upstairs and downstairs, sit and stand up, squat and stand up) and basketball layup drills were collected from five healthy volunteers using the Vicon system. The mean values of femoral head mechanical loads and positions at peak values, movement onset, and termination were selected for finite element analysis to observe the distribution of equivalent stress, normal stress, and shear stress on the two growth plate models under different activity modes.Results:Successful construction of three-dimensional finite element models for normal and extended proximal femoral epiphyseal growth plates was achieved. Mechanical load values and spatial positions of the femoral head during daily activities and layup movements were obtained. In daily activities, peak equivalent stress values for normal and extended growth plates ranged from 1.6 to 11.0 MPa; compressive stress ranged from 1.7 to 12.0 MPa; tensile stress ranged from 0.5 to 10.0 MPa; and shear force ranged from 0.4 to 7.1 MPa. The compressive stress during walking, standing on one or both feet, going up and down stairs, sitting and standing, and squatting was concentrated in the central and lateral areas; tensile stress was concentrated in the central and medial areas; shear force was concentrated in the medial area and the anterior and posterior edges of the growth plate. During a layup, the compressive stress in the center, outer upper side, and medial edge of the growth plate of the normal model was notably concentrated, with peaks fluctuating between 5.5-19.0 MPa, 5.7-11.0 MPa, and 5.4-7.3 MPa respectively; tensile stress and shear force were concentrated at the inner and outer edges as well as in the central area, with peaks fluctuating between 3.0-24.0 MPa and 3.0-26.0 MPa respectively, these values were significantly different from those observed during daily activities. For the elongated growth plate, compressive stress was concentrated at the central and lateral edges with peaks fluctuating between 17.0-41.0 MPa and 17.0-38.0 MPa respectively; simulated shear stress and tensile stress showed significant concentration at peaks fluctuating between 4.9-34.0 MPa, also significantly different from those observed during daily activities.Conclusion:The difference in mechanical distribution between daily activities, basketball layup training, as well as between normal and extended growth plates may be the mechanical initiating factor in the development of extended growth plates and the formation of Cam lesions, it may be the mechanical initiating factor for the development of extended growth plates and the collision of Cam lesions in FAI.

Objective:To explore the effect of scenario simulation combined with "finding fault" teaching method on prevention and control of nosocomial infection training in standardized residency training of cardiovascular surgery.Methods:A total of 31 residents trained in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from April 2018 to March 2019 were selected as the control group, and another 31 residents trained from April 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the study group. All subjects were required to receive nosocomial infection prevention and control training. The control group was given conventional teaching method, while the study group was given scenario simulation combined with "finding fault" teaching method, all of which were taught for 1 month. The theoretical and operational assessment results of nosocomial infection prevention and control after teaching, the clinical core competence related to nosocomial infection prevention and control after teaching, and the recognition rate of teaching mode were compared between the two groups. SPSS 25.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The scores of theoretical assessment [(91.29±6.64) vs. (86.73±6.02)] and operational assessment [(90.32±6.80) vs. (83.51±7.43)] of nosocomial infection prevention and control after teaching in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The scores of clinical core competence in learning initiative, doctor-patient communication, problem thinking and problem solving of nosocomial infection prevention and control knowledge after teaching in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The recognition rates of innovation, interest, effectiveness and practicability of the teaching mode in the study group were 83.87%, 96.77%, 90.32% and 93.55% respectively, while those in the control group were 61.29%, 58.06%, 67.74% and 74.19% respectively, which were higher in the study group than in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the training of prevention and control of nosocomial infection for standardized residency training in the department of cardiovascular surgery, scenario simulation combined with "fault finding" teaching method can improve the theoretical and practical examination results of the residents, enhance their clinical core competence related to nosocomial infection prevention and control, and reach a higher recognition rate of the teaching mode.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of arthroscopic reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) via double posteromedial portals.Methods A retrospective case series study was performed on the clinical data of 29 patients with PCL injury from January 2013 to January 2018 admitted to Xuancheng People's Hospital of Anhui province.There were 15 males and 14 females,with an average age of 49.6 years (range,27-61 years).There were 13 patients with left knee injury and 16 patients with right knee injury.The combined injuries included five patients with medial meniscus tear,seven patients with lateral meniscus tear,one patient with medial collateral ligament injury,and two patients with lateral medial collateral ligament injury.The average duration from injury to surgery was 14.1 days (range,5-97 days).All patients received arthroscopic PCL reconstruction surgery using double posteromedial portals.The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded.The posterior drawer test,reverse Lachman test,posterior translation,and Lysholm knee score scale were used to evaluate knee function preoperatively and 6 months after operation.The complications were recorded.Results All patients were followed up for 6-22 months (mean,12 months).The operation time was (63.3 ±9.5) minutes,and the intraoperative blood loss was (48.9 ± 22.8)ml.The posterior drawer tests and reverse Lachman tests of all patients turned to be negative 6 months after surgery.Preoperatively,the posterior translation and Lysholm score were (11.2 ± 3.3)mm and (42.7 ± 12.2)points,respectively.At 6 months postoperatively,the posterior translation and Lysholm score were (2.2 ± 0.5) mm and (86.3 ± 9.0) points,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).No complication such as infection and neurovascular injury occured.Conclusion The technique of arthroscopic PCL reconstruction surgery using double posteromedial portals has the advantages of good knee joint stability,less tibial posterior translation,and fast function recovery with satisfactory short-term efficacy.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging modality for the diagnosis of hepatic fasciola gigantica disease.Methods Thirty eight patients with abdominal pain were admitted in our hospital and underwent investigations with different imaging modalities.Thirty-eight cases underwent abdominal CT scan,among which 5 cases underwent follow-up with abdominal ultrasonography,10 patients with routine MRI scan and CT scan examination,and 2 cases with liver biopsy.Results Thirty-eight cases with CT scan showed the hepatomegaly,with decreased attenuation of the hepatic parenchyma,unclear boundaries.Thirteen cases showed decreased densities (suggesting hydroperitonium),including 10 cases with enhanced CT showed mild inhomogenous enhancement.Five cases with color doppler ultrasound showed inhomogenous hepatic echogenicity,and multiple liver parenchyma echogenecity showedirregular,cluttered cystic dark areas and spleenomegaly,among which two cases had evident hydroperitonium.Ten cases with MRI scan showed liver enlargement,abnormal diffuse signal of hepatic parenchymal lesions and splenomegaly.Two cases who underwent needle biopsy showed parasitic granulomas and necrosis,surrounded by a large number of monocytes andeosinophilic infiltration.Clinical manifestations:All cases were presented with fever,abdominal pain,liver tenderness,etc.Twenty-five cases presented with nausea,vomiting,loss of appetite,15 cases presented with ascites,5 cases presented with pericardial effusion,5 cases with lung parenchymal changes on CT,others showed generalised systemic edema and malena,very few patients had utricaria,itching and other symptoms.Conclusion CT and MRI scanning in patients suspected with human fasciola hepatica showed multiple small hepatic subcapsular abscess,of which some were clustered or tunnel-like.Combined with parasites,imaging manifestations are helpful for the early diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the overall survival in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAC) treated with irreversible electroporation (IRE) and chemotherapy.Methods A retrospective study on the overall survival of 30 patients with LAC treated with IRE,and 30 patients with LAC treated with chemotherapy from July 2015 to October 2016 in the PLA General Hospital was conducted.Results For the 30 patients with LAC who underwent IRE successfully,there were 21 women and 9 men.The median age was 59 (36 ～81) years.Twenty-four patients had primary pancreatic head cancer and 6 had body cancer.Twelve (40.0％) of these patients had chemotherapy after the IRE ablation.The 90-day mortality in the IRE treated patients was 3 (10.0％).For the 30 patients with LAC who were treated with chemotherapy,the 90-day mortality was 6 (20.0％).In comparison of the IRE treated patients with the chemotherapy treated patients,improvements on disease-free survival (6 months vs.4 months,P ＜ 0.05) and overall survival (11 months vs.5.6 months,P ＜ 0.05) were observed.Conclusion IRE ablation of LAC was safe and could potentially improve overall survival when compared with the standard chemotherapy treatment.
