Objective To explore the impact of the clinical internship model at the on-campus rehabilitation outpatient clinic on the clinical practice abilities and employment intentions of students in the physical therapy program.Methods A total of 60 students from the 2020 cohort of the Rehabilitation Physical Therapy program at Kunming Medical University were selected as research subjects.In the first semester of their sophomore year,they were randomly divided into two groups:the three-phase clinical internship group at the on-campus rehabilitation outpatient clinic(n=30)and the conventional clinical internship group(n=30).The three-phase clinical internship group completed their clinical internship in three phases according to the training objectives at the on-campus rehabilitation outpatient clinic,while the conventional clinical internship group completed their internship according to the requirements of the internship syllabus.At the end of all clinical internships,assessments were conducted using a comprehensive theoretical examination of core professional courses,the Assessment of Physiotherapy Practice(APP),and an employment intention survey to evaluate the outcomes of the internships for both groups.Results After completing all internship tasks,there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the comprehensive theoretical examination of core professional courses between the two groups(P>0.05).Similarly,there was no statistically significant difference in the total scores of the physiotherapy clinical practice assessment between the two groups(P>0.05).However,in the detailed assessments,the three-phase internship group outperformed the conventional group in professional behavior,communication,and evaluation(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in analysis and planning,intervention,evidence-based practice,and risk management(P>0.05).In the employment intention survey,70%of students in the three-phase internship group expressed a willingness to work in rehabilitation outpatient clinics or clinics,while only 46.6%of the conventional group did so.The comparison of employment intentions between the two groups showed a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The three-phase apprenticeship model of the on-campus rehabilitation clinic not only improves students'clinical practice ability,but also increases their confidence in seeking employment in the rehabilitation clinic,thus broadening the employment pathway for physiotherapy students.

Objective To explore the immediate,long-term,and delayed effects of spiral stabilizing muscle chain technique compared to static distraction and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation(PNF)stretching techniques on the flexibility of hip flexors.Methods Ninety subjects were randomly divided intothree groups of 30 each.Group 1 underwent the static stretching of the hip joint.Group 2 received PNF stretching,and Group 3 participated in SPS training.All participants were measured for hip extension angle to assess hip flexor flexibility before training,immediately after the first training session,at the end of 4 weeks of training,and 2 weeks after training cessation.Results Within-group comparisons showed significant increases in hip extension angles after one training session,after 4 weeks of training,and after 2 weeks of cessation compared to pre-training(P＜0.05).Between-group comparisons indicated no statistically significant differences in hip extension angle improvements among the three groups after one training session,after 4 weeks of training,and after 2 weeks of cessation(P＞0.05).Conclusion SPS training,static stretching,and PNF stretching all demonstrate good immediate,long-term,and delayed effects on improving hip extension angles,with consistent stretching outcomes.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous syestem (CNS) triggered by an autoimmune mechanism, which is the main cause of neurological disability in young people. In MS, a variety of glial cells participate in the pathogenesis and development of the disease, and oligodendrocytes (OL) and myelin cytes are destroyed by autoimmune mediated inflammation. Impaired OL production of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) leads to persistent demyelination, myelin fragment accumulation and axonal injury, with clinical manifestation of CNS disability. Microglia (MG), which is involved in the inflammatory response and removal of myelin debris, plays a pivotal role in OPC differentiation and OL maturation, thereby directly or indirectly influencing the process of myelin regeneration. An interactive mechanism exists between these 2 components. The comprehension of the interrelationship between the 2 factors can provide enhanced insights into the pathogenesis of MS and facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies, thereby addressing pivotal scientific challenges encountered in clinical management of MS. Therefore, this review summarizes the dynamic changes of microglia in MS and its classic animal models, explores the internal relationship between MG and OL in this process, and focuses on the beneficial effects of targeted regulation of microglia, thereby promoting OPC differentiation and myelin regeneration, in order to provide a new research direction for MS treatment.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of disodium cantharidinate on the pharmacokinetic behavior of capecitabine in rats. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into two control groups and two experimental groups with 6 rats in each group. Two control groups were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline， and two experimental groups were intraperitoneally injected with Disodium cantharidinate injection of 0.5 mL/kg， for 7 consecutive days. Eight days after medication， control group 1 and experimental group 1 were given capecitabine 5 mg/kg intragastrically， while control group 2 and experimental group 2 were given capecitabine 5 mg/kg intravenously. Blood samples were collected at different time points after administration. After extraction with ethyl acetate， the concentration of capecitabine in rat plasma was determined by UPLC-MS/MS method using tolbutamide as the internal standard. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0 software. RESULTS Compared with control group 1， MRT0－∞， cmax， AUC0－30 h， AUC0－∞ and F of experimental group 1 were increased significantly， while CLz/F was decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with control group 2， t1/2， MRT0－30 h， MRT0-∞， AUC0－30 h and AUC0－∞ of experimental group 2 were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Disodium cantharidinate can increase the plasma exposure of capecitabine in rats， improve its oral bioavailability， prolong the average residence time， and reduce its clearance rate.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of fascial tissue flaps and skin flaps with layered sutures for repairing wounds after excision of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus. METHODS: Between March 2019 and August 2022, 9 patients with sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus were admitted, including 7 males and 2 females with an average age of 29.4 years (range, 17-53 years). The disease duration ranged from 1 to 36 months, with a median of 6 months. There were 7 cases with obesity and dense hair, 3 cases with infection, and 2 cases with positive bacterial culture of sinus secretion. The wound area after excision ranged from 3 cm×3 cm to 8 cm×4 cm, with a depth of 3-5 cm, reaching the perianal or caudal bone; there were 2 cases with perianal abscess formation and 1 case with caudal bone inflammatory edema. Enlarged resection was performed during operation, and the fascial tissue flap and skin flap were designed and excised at both left and right sides of the buttock, ranging from 3.0 cm×1.5 cm to 8.0 cm×2.0 cm. A cross drainage tube was placed at the bottom of the wound, and the fascial tissue flap and skin flap were advanced and sutured in three layers, namely, 8-string sutures in the fascial layer, barbed wire reduction sutures in the dermis, and interrupted skin sutures. RESULTS: All 9 patients were followed up 3-36 months, with an average of 12 months. All incisions healed by first intention, and no complication such as incisional dehiscence or infection in the operative area occurred. There was no recurrence of sinus tracts, the shape of gluteal sulcus was satisfactory, both sides of buttocks were symmetrical, local incision scar was concealed, and the shape disruption was minimal. CONCLUSION Fascial tissue flaps and skin flaps with layered sutures for repairing wounds after excision of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus can effectively fill the cavity and reduce the incidence of poor incision healing, with the advantages of small trauma and simple operation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of hairpin shaped incision combined with cover-lifting flap in plastic surgery of huge fat pad on nape and back. METHODS: Between March 2019 and March 2023, 10 patients with huge fat pad on the nape and back were treated. There was 1 male and 9 females with an average age of 52 years (range, 39-57 years). All patients had soft tissue bulge on the nape and back. Preoperative MRI showed the subcutaneous fat thickening. The length of the longitudinal axis of the fat pad ranged from 10.0 to 25.0 cm (mean, 14.1 cm), the length of the transverse axis ranged from 6.0 to 15.0 cm (mean, 10.8 cm); the thickness of the fat pad ranged from 2.5 to 5.1 cm (mean, 3.9 cm). Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in a prone position and a hairpin shaped incision was made. The flap was lifted to remove the fat pad according to the marked area. The dressing was changed every 2 days after operation. RESULTS: The operation time was 35-110 minutes (mean, 72 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 35-80 mL (mean, 49.5 mL). The drainage tube was removed at 2-5 days after operation (mean, 3.4 days). All incisions healed by first intention without incision dehiscence, infection, subcutaneous bruising, hematoma, or other related complications. All patients were followed up 2-24 months (mean, 12 months). All patients had a good shape of the nape and back and no noticeable scar on the incision. According to the Vancouver Scar Scale evaluation criteria, the incision scar score was 3-5 (mean, 3.7) at 2 months after operation. Patients had good neck movement with no recurrence. CONCLUSION For the huge fat pad on the nape and back, the plastic surgery using hairpin shaped incision and cover-lifting flap has the advantages of fully exposing the fat pad, concealed incision, simple operation, and natural shape of the nape and back after operation.

Objective:To analyze the changes of common pathogens of viral diarrhea in children during the COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on children with acute diarrhea treated in Children’s Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2019 April to 2019 December(before COVID-19, n=407)and 2020 April to 2020 December (during COVID-19, n=645). Children were further divided into 1-6 months, >6 months-2 years, >2-5 years age groups. Detection rates of norovirus GI (NOVI), norovirus GⅡ (NOVⅡ), rotavirus A (ROVA), rotavirus C (ROVC), intestinal adenovirus (EADV), sapovirus (SAV) and astrovirus (ASV) in different age groups and seasons before and during COVID-19 were compared by χ2 or Fisher exact test. Results:The total detection rates of diarrhea-causing viruses among age groups were significantly higher before COVID-19 than those during COVID-19( χ2=8.43, 38.22 and 9.23, all P<0.05). The detection rates of NOVⅡ and EADV in infants aged 1-6 months and >6 months-2 years were decreased during the period of COVID-19 epidemic( χNOVⅡ2 =36.87 and 17.77, both P<0.001, χEADV2 =9.08, P=0.014 and 0.003); the detection rates of NOVⅡ in children aged 2-5 years was decreased during the period of COVID-19 epidemic( χ2=3.96, P=0.047); the detection rates of other diarrhea-causing viruses were not decreased during the period of COVID-19 epidemic(all P>0.05). The detection rates of diarrhea-causing viruses among 4-6 months, 7-9 months and 10-12 months were higher during the period of COVID-19 epidemic( χ2=11.62, 65.41 and 27.80, all P<0.001). Conclusion:After the outbreak of COVID-19, the detection rate of common pathogens of viral diarrhea in children is decreased, especially NOVⅡ and EADV, which may be related to the measures in response to major public health events in Zhejiang Province.

Objective:To explore the incidence and the risk factors of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence after colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 1 826 children who underwent colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy in the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2009 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, endoscopic manifestations, pathological features, diagnosis, occurrence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence were collected. The associated risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:A total of 1 826 children (1 191 males and 635 females) with 1 967 polypectomies were included. The age was 4.6 (3.2, 6.4) years at initial diagnosis. According to the initial colonoscopy, 1 611 children (88.2%) had solitary polyps, 1 707 children (93.5%) had pedicled polyps, 1 151 children (63.0%) had polyps involving the rectum, and 1 757 children (96.2%) had hamartomatous polyps. Polyposis syndromes were diagnosed in 73 children (4.0%). The post-polypectomy bleeding occurrence was 3.8% (75/1 967). Polyps recurred in 88 children (4.8%). Girls ( OR=2.01, 95% CI 1.26-3.23) and sessile polyps ( OR=2.28, 95% CI 1.15-4.49) were risk factors for post-polypectomy bleeding (both P<0.05). Multiple polyps ( OR=17.49, 95% CI 9.82-31.18), right-colon involvement ( OR=3.44, 95% CI 1.89-6.26) and non-hamartoma ( OR=2.51, 95% CI 1.04-6.07) were risk factors for polyp recurrence (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Colonoscopic high-frequency electrocoagulation snare polypectomy has low incidence of post-polypectomy bleeding and polyp recurrence. Female patients and sessile polyps have higher risk for post-polypectomy bleeding. Multiple polyps, right-colon involvement and non-hamartoma polyps increase the risk for polyp recurrence.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of maintenance treatment of thiopurines after exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) therapy for Crohn′s disease (CD) children, and explore the influencing factors of recurrence.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. CD children treated in the Children′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2013 to March 2021 were included retrospectively. Data before EEN were collected including general demographics, Paris classification, the pediatric Crohn′s disease activity index (PCDAI), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum albumin levels. According to the recurrence at 1 year of follow-up, patients were divided into remission group and recurrence group. The differences in clinical data before EEN between the 2 groups were analyzed. The factors influencing the recurrence were analyzed.Results:Thirty-five children were enrolled, including 25 (71.4%) males and 10 (28.6%) females. The age at diagnose was (11.2 ± 3.1) years old and the disease duration was 3.5 (2.2, 6.9) months. After 1 year of follow-up, 15 children had recurrence at least for one time and were divided into the recurrence group. Twenty (57.1%) children continued to maintain 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) monotherapy and were divided into the remission group. There was no significant differences in gender, diagnostic age, and CRP, ESR, serum albumin and PCDAI before EEN between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was significant difference in the percentage of patients with disease duration of longer than 1 year before EEN between the two groups ( P = 0.026) . Conclusions:The children with the disease duration of longer than 1 year before EEN may be in high risk of recurrence on the regimen of maintenance treatment of thiopurines after EEN.
