China Tropical Medicine 2024;24(8):982-
Abstract: Objective To understand and evaluate the current situation of health emergency personnel capacity building in Chongqing, clarify the main factors that affect and restrict this capacity building, and propose countermeasures and suggestions. This will provide a reference for further improving the capacities of health emergency response in Chongqing. Methods Questionnaire surveys and expert interviews were used to analyze the current situation of health emergency personnel capacity building in 39 disease control and prevention centers and 10 medical institutions in Chongqing from four dimensions: general status, health status, training and drilling status, and health emergency capability. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between self-evaluation of health status and self-evaluation of sleep quality, and multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the main factors influencing emergency response capability. Results Among Chongqing's health emergency personnel, 34.85% had a BMI of overweight or above, only 37.92% regularly conducted health monitoring, and 9.19% experienced health problems during emergencies. The proportions of personnel who participated in two or more training sessions per year, two or more drills per year, and one or more physical fitness evaluations per year were 52.07%, 22.76%, and 31.12%, respectively. The average score of emergency response capability of Chongqing's health emergency personnel was 76.11, with the lowest score in the policy advice capability (48.59). Personnel with a medical background (β=1.025), longer years of emergency response work (β=1.774), better self-evaluated physical condition (β=3.664), better self-evaluated mental condition (β=4.362), and participation in drillings twice or more per year (β=2.696) had higher scores in terms of health emergency response capability (P<0.05). Conclusions There are still some weaknesses in the capacity building of Chongqing's health emergency response personnel. Future efforts should focus on optimizing the staffing structure of the health emergency response team, strengthening the physical training of emergency personnel in normal times and health monitoring and management under emergency conditions, continuously promoting the actual, contextual, and professional emergency training and drilling, and comprehensively improving the physical and mental quality, professional quality, and emergency response capacity of health emergency personnel through multiple approaches.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for failure in closed reduction of flexed supracondylar humerus fractures of Wilkins type Ⅲ in children.Methods:The data of 171 children were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated for flexed supracondylar humerus fractures of Wilkins type Ⅲ from January 2013 to December 2021 at Department of Orthopaedics, Children's Hospital of Jiangxi Province and Children's Hospital of Fudan University Anhui Hospital. They were divided into a reduction failure group (35 cases) and a reduction success group (136 cases). Factors such as fracture height, age, body mass index, ulnar-radial offset direction, obvious axial rotation of the distal fracture fragment, combined ulnar nerve injury, and time from injury to operation were listed as risk factors. The independent risk factors for failure in closed reduction of flexed supracondylar humerus fractures were identified by univariate analysis of variance and multi-variate logistic regression analysis.Results:The average age of 171 children was (7.8±2.6) years. There were 151 cases of radial deviation and 20 cases of ulnar deviation, 120 high type fractures and 51 low type fractures, and 20 cases of combined ulnar nerve injury and 115 cases of obvious rotation of the distal fracture fragment. The one-way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between the reduction failure group and the reduction success group in terms of age, obvious rotation of the distal fracture fragment, and ulnar nerve injury ( P<0.05), but no significant differences in fracture height, body mass index, ulnar-radial offset direction, or time from injury to operation ( P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that obvious rotation of the distal fracture fragment ( OR=3.287, 95% CI: 1.136 to 9.513, P=0.028) and combined ulnar nerve injury ( OR=6.439, 95% CI: 2.262 to 18.327, P=0.001) were risk factors for failure in closed reduction. Conclusion:As obvious rotation of the distal fracture fragment and combined ulnar nerve injury may be independent risk factors for failure in closed reduction of flexed supracondylar humerus fractures of Wilkins type Ⅲ in children, they should arouse more attention in the treatment of such fractures.

Objective:To compare the effects of anterograde elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN-A), retrograde K-wires fixation (KW-R) and retrograde precision shaping of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN-RPS) in the treatment of fractures of distal radial metaphyseal diaphyseal junction (DRMDJ) in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 112 eligible children with DRMDJ fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Children's Hospital, Anhui Medical University and Department of Orthopedics, The People's Hospital of Fuyang City,Anhui Medical University, from January 2016 to May 2022. There were 64 males and 48 females, with an age of (8.4±2.3) years. The children were divided into 3 groups according to different surgical fixation methods: group ESIN-A of 36 cases, group KW-R of 52 cases, and group ESIN-RPS of 24 cases. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, fluoroscopy times, alignment rates and residual angulations by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction were compared among the 3 groups. The Gartland-Werley evaluation of wrist function and complications were compared at the last follow-up.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data among the 3 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). In the operation time, group KW-R [(71.2±9.2) min] > group ESIN-A [(65.1±13.1) min] > group ESIN-RPS [(51.7±17.1) min]; in the fluoroscopy times, group KW-R [(13.9±6.3) times] > group ESIN-A [(9.0±2.8) times] > group ESIN-RPS [(6.4±2.0) times]; in the alignment rates by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction, group ESIN-RPS (93.1%±4.6% and 95.2%±3.3%) > group KW-R (82.1%±11.0% and 88.1%±7.4%) > group ESIN-A (80.4%±9.9% and 86.7%±6.9%); in the residual angulations by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction, group ESIN-RPS (3.3°±1.8° and 2.9°±2.1°) < group ESIN-A (5.2°±1.0° and 5.0°±3.2°) < group KW-R (6.6°±1.6°and 7.5°±2.7°). Pairwise comparisons in the above items were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In group ESIN-A, the incision length [(1.8±0.3) cm] was significantlylonger than that in group ESIN-RPS [(1.4±0.2) cm], and the intraoperative blood loss [(8.3±2.2) mL] significantly larger than that in group ESIN-RPS [(5.5±1.6) mL] ( P<0.05). One year after operation, the excellent and good rate by the Gartland-Werley evaluation of wrist function in groups ESIN-RPS, ESIN-A and KW-R, respectively, were 95.8% (23/24), 86.5% (31/36) and 86.1% (46/52), showing no statistically significant difference between the 3 group ( P>0.05), and the major incidence of complications in group KW-R (25.0%, 13/52) and in group ESIN-A (25.0%, 9/36) were significantly higher than that in group ESIN-RPS (4.2%, 1/24) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of DRMDJ fractures in children, compared with ESIN-A and KW-R, ESIN-RPS is an effective choice due to its advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less radiation, better alignment, and fewer complications.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the in vivo intervention and relative mechanism of Genistein (GEN) on tumor-associated inflammatory and tumor thrombophilia in lymphoma-bearing mice.
METHODS:
Forty female Balb/c mice aged 5-6 weeks were injected with murine-derived Pro B-cell lymphoma cell line 38B9 to establish a lymphoma mouse model, which was randomly divided into control group, tumor-bearing group, GEN drug intervention group and cyclophosphamide (CTX)drug intervention group. Histopathologic was used to evaluate the tumorigenesis. Tumor formation was observed, and tumor tissues were collected of HE and immunohistochemical staining. ELISA and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors and the changes of thrombus indices in plasma after intervention of GEN and Cyclophosphamide (CTX) respectively. Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of CD19 in tomor tissues of tummor bearing mice.
RESULTS:
After 14 days of tumor bearing, the mice were tumorigenic. The lymphoma cells were diffusely distributed in the tumor tissue and the expression of CD19 in the tumor tissue was positive. The inflammatory factors such as IL-6, NETs and CLEC-2, and thrombotic indices such as TF, FIB and D-D in lymphoma-bearing mice were significantly higher than those before tumor-injection and lower than those after drug-intervention (all P<0.05). The levels of CLEC-2 and D-D in GEN group were significantly lower than those in CTX group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Tumor-associated inflammation and thrombophilia exist in lymphoma-bearing mice. GEN shows better anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects compared with CTX by interfering with tumor inflammatory factors.

Two cardenolide glycosides, corotoxigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and coroglaucigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (2), were isolated from the seed fairs of Asclepias curassavica. The structures of 1-2 were determined based on the combination of the analysis of their MS, NMR spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1 and 2 on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116), non-small cell lung carcinoma cells (A549) and hepatic cancer cells (SMMC-7721) were evaluated. The results showed that both compounds 1 and 2 significantly inhibited the viability, proliferation, and migration of A549, HCT116 and SMMC-7721 cells, suggesting that compounds 1 and 2 can be applied in the treatment of lung, colon and liver cancers in clinical practice. This study may not only provide a scientific basis for clarifying the active ingredients in A. curassavica, but also help to understand its antitumor activity, which can promote the application of A. curassavica in clinical treatment of various cancers.

Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for oligometastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm phase Ⅱ trial. Patients who had histologically proven CRC, 1 to 5 detectable liver or lung metastatic lesions with maximum diameter of any metastases ≤5 cm were eligible. SBRT was delivered to all lesions. The primary endpoint was 3-year local control (LC). The secondary endpoints were treatment-related acute toxicities of grade 3 and above, 1-year and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test. Results: Petients from 2016 to 2019 who were treated in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Forty-eight patients with 60 lesions were enrolled, including 37 liver lesions and 23 lung lesions. Forty-six patients had 1 or 2 lesions, with median diameter of 1.3 cm, the median biologically effective dose (BED(10)) was 100.0 Gy. The median follow-up was 19.5 months for all lesions. Twenty-five lesions developed local failure, the median local progression free survival was 15 months. The 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 70.2% (95% CI, 63.7%~76.7%), 89.0% (95% CI, 84.3%~93.7%) and 40.4% (95%CI, 33.0%~47.8%). The univariate analysis revealed that planning target volume (PTV) and total dose were independent prognostic factors of LC (P<0.05). For liver and lung lesions, the 1-year LC, OS and PFS was 58.7% and 89.4% (P=0.015), 89.3% and 86.5% (P=0.732), 30.5% and 65.6% (P=0.024), respectively. No patients developed acute toxicity of grade 3 and above. Conclusion: SBRT is safe and effective treatment method for oligometastases from CRC under precise respiratory motion management and robust quality assurance.
