Objective:To explore the value of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 in peripheral blood for risk stratification and prognostic evaluation of acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)in children.Methods:From January 2020 to March 2022,70 children with aGVHD after allo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the research objects,of which 50 cases were mild aGVHD(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)and 20 cases were severe aGVHD(grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ).30 healthy children who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Luminex platform was used to detect the protein expression levels of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 during aGVHD occurrence,and the differences between the three groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.According to the outcome of aGVHD treatment within 28 days,the patients were divided into a good prognosis group of 58 cases and a poor prognosis group of 12 cases.The ROC curve was used to analyze the value of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD.Results:The peripheral blood levels of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 in the mild aGVHD and severe aGVHD groups were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and those in the severe aGVHD group were significantly higher than those in the mild aGVHD group(P＜0.05).Compared with the good prognosis group,the peripheral blood levels of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher(t=9.27,3.33,2.97;P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD were higher than those of the above indicators detected alone or in pairs.Conclusion:The expression levels of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 were related to the severity of aGVHD.The combination of REG3α,sST2 and TNFR1 has a high clinical value in predicting the prognosis of children with aGVHD,which is expected to provide a reliable reference for clinical evaluation of the prognosis of children with aGVHD.

The choice of friction interface has always been a controversial topic in hip arthroplasty. Although the metal-on-metal (MoM) interface has gradually faded out of our vision, its revision is a clinical difficulty. Adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD) is the most common indication for MoM hip arthroplasty revision, and the clinical results of hip arthroplasty due to ARMD are not satisfactory. At present, the indications and suggestions for revision of ARMD are not uniform. In this article, the clinical diagnosis, indications of revision, risk factors of prognosis, intraoperative suggestions and reasons for revision of ARMD were summarized. This article briefly introduces the diagnosis and treatment strategies and precautions of hip arthroplasty due to ARMD, in order to provide reference for such patients in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of parecoxib sodium on phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages in a mouse model of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI).Methods:Forty-five SPF healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice, weighing 22-30 g, aged 8-12 weeks, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), VALI group (V group) and parecoxib sodium group (P group). Lipopolysaccharide 20 ng was intraperitoneally injected, and 2 h later the animals were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume 30 ml/kg, respiratory rate 70 breaths/min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 1∶2, fraction of inspired oxygen 21%, positive end-expiratory pressure 0) for 4 h to establish the model of VALI.Parecoxib sodium 30 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 1 h prior to mechanical ventilation in group P. The mice were sacrificed at 4 h of ventilation, the right lung was lavaged and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase-1(Arg-1) in BALF and expression of phosphorylated Janus kinase 2 (p-JAK2) and phosphorylated signal transduction and transcription activator 3 (p-STAT-3) (by Western blot). The left lung was removed for determination of the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio) and for examination of the pathological changes which were scored. Results:Compared with group S, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α in BALF, and expression of iNOS, Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased in V and P groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group V, the concentration of IL-10 in BALF and expression of Arg-1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT-3 were significantly increased, and the lung injury score, W/D ratio, concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF and expression of iNOS were decreased in group P ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Parecoxib sodium promotes phenotypic transformation of alveolar macrophages from M1 subtype to M2 subtype and inhibits inflammatory responses, thus alleviating VALI, which may be related to activating JAK2/STAT-3 signaling pathway in mice.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of incretin-based therapies on body weight as the primary outcome, as well as on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as secondary outcomes. Methods: Databases including Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Standard pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA) were both carried out. The risk of bias (ROB) tool recommended by the Cochrane handbook was used to assess the quality of studies. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, meta-regression, and quality evaluation based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) were also performed. Results: A total of 292 trials were included in this study. Compared with placebo, dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-4Is) increased weight slightly by 0.31 kg [95% confidence interval ( ): 0.05, 0.58] and had negligible effects on BMI and WC. Compared with placebo, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) lowered weight, BMI, and WC by -1.34 kg (95% : -1.60, -1.09), -1.10 kg/m (95% : -1.42, -0.78), and -1.28 cm (95% : -1.69, -0.86), respectively. Conclusion GLP-1 RAs were more effective than DPP-4Is in lowering the three indicators. Overall, the effects of GLP-1 RAs on weight, BMI, and WC were favorable.

Objective To investigate the effects of phosphcreatine preconditioning on lung injury induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats.Methods Forty-five SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S), renal IR group (group IR), and phosphcreatine preconditioning group (group PCr), 15 cases in each group.The rats in group S recieved dissoci ation of renal pedicles and right nephrectomy, on top of which renal IR model was prepared in group IR and group PCr.phosphcreatine 150 mg/kg was injected in group PCr for 30 minutes before ischemia, where as rats in group S and group I/R recieved the normal saline at the same time.The blood samples were obtained from left ventricle at 6 hours after reperfusion, the arterial blood gas analysis was performed in order to determined the oxygen partial pressure (PaO2).Serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also determined.Fluo 3-AM staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the concentration of alveolar macrophage calcium ions.The lung tissue was obtained with HE staining for determination of microscope examination of pathologic changes, and weight/dry (W/D) ratio were also determined.The lung tissue cell apoptotic rate was measured by Annexin V/PI apoptosis detection reagent staining and flow cytometry.Fluo 3-AM staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the concentration of alveolar macrophage calcium ions.Results Compared with group S, the histopathological demages, W/D ratio, lung tissue cell apoptotic rate, the serum levels of MDA and the concentration of alveolar macrophage calcium ions were signifcant increased (P<0.05), whereas the PaO2 and the activity of SOD were signifcantly decreased in group IR and group PCr (P<0.05).Compared with group IR, the histopathological demages, W/D ratio, lung tissue cell apoptotic rate, the serum levels of MDA and the concentration of alveolar macrophage calcium ions were signifcant decreased (P<0.05), whereas the PaO2 and the activity of SOD were signifcantly increased in group PCr (P<0.05).Conclusion Phosphcreatine preconditioning can attenuate lung injury induced by renal I/R, the mechanism is related to inhabit oxidative stress, and reduce cell apopotosis and calcium overload.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of "outside-in" arthroscopic cam resection in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)syndrome.Methods Nine patients were treated with "outside-in" hip arthroscopy for cam or mixed type FAI syndrome between July 2015 and July 2016.All the 9 patients(11 hips)underwent osseous correction of the femoral neck and labral debridement.Before the surgery and 12 months after it,all patients were evaluated using the Harris Score and their complications were observed.Results The average postoperative Harris Score(92.5,range from 64 to 100)was significantly better compared with the preoperative one(56.4,range from 22 to 70,P＜ 0.001).One patient with blister on dorsal foot and another with fluid leakage were cured.No neurovascular injuries or cartilage injuries were found among all the patients.Conclusion "Outside-in" arthroscopic treatment of FAI with osseous correction and labral debridement is safe and effective.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical features and prognostic factors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in high-risk (HR) group.

METHODSA total of 421 children with ALL in the Children's Hospital of Soochow University from August 2008 to March 2013 were diagnosed and treated according to the Chinese Children Leukemia Group (CCLG)-2008 Protocol. Among different risk-groups, 148 cases were stratified into the low-risk group and 191 cases were included in the moderate-risk group. Eight-two patients of the high-risk group were analyzed retrospectively for their clinical features, 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate.

RESULTSThe median follow-up times of 82 patients were 64 months(3.0-76.3 months), 55 patient achieved complete remission(CR) after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy(CR rate 67.1%), 25 patients relapsed(30.5%) mainly in very early and early relapse phases, significantly different from the low-risk group (P=0.013), 27 pateitns died(32.9%). The 5-year pEFS and pOS were 57.20% and 58.5%, respectively. Phor BCR/ABLand MRD>10on the 33rd day in the high-risk group were 2 main factors influencing EFS and OS according to single factor analysis. Phor BCR/ABLwas an independent prognostic factor, however, the MRD value on the 33rd day was not statistically significant differente by virtue of COX regression analysis.

CONCLUSIONThe clinical feature of children with ALL in high risk group display low induction CR rate, high recurrence rate and the lower 5-year pEFS. Phor BCR/ABLis regarded as an independent factor of poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical significance of monitoring the level of minimal residual disease (MRD) at different time point in the risk stratification and prognosis of Childhood B-lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

METHODSThree hundred and eighty cases of children's B-ALL from Augest 2008 to January 2013 in our hospital were enrolled in this study. MRD levels were detected at day 15, day 33 and week 12 after initial chemotherapy. The event-free survival(EFS) and overall survival (OS) were measured on the basis of MRD levels at different stages of chemotherapy and were compared by Kaplan Meier analyses.

RESULTSThe patient's age, initial white blood cell count, chromosome, MLL, BCR/ABL, pretreatment reaction, bone marrow MRD at days 33 were closely related with the 5-year EFS rate. Multiparameter flow cytometry showed the marked MRD and unmarked MRD were not significantly different between their 5-year EFS rate(P>0.05), and the every immune phenotype was also no significantly different between the 5-year EFS rate(P>0.05). The children with MRD≥10at day 15(P<0.01), MRD≥10at day 33 (P<0.01) and MRD≥10on week 12(P<0.01) have a decreased 5-year EFS rate and overall survival, which related with poor prognosis obviously. The 5-year EFS rates at the MRD<10(negative), 10-10, 10-10and ≥10at day 33 were 86.6±2.7%, 77.5±4.9%, 70.1±8.0%, and 44.8±9.9%(P<0.01) with significant difference respectively; the 5-year OS rate was 89.5±2.7%, 80±4.9%, 76.0±7.8%, and 53.2±10.1% with statistically significant difference(P<0. 01).

CONCLUSIONThe MRD≥10at day 33 is a high risk factor for significant reduction of the 5-year EFS rate and the 5-year OS rate of children with B-ALL. Thus, dynamic monitoring the MRD level can predict relapse of B-ALL after remission.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of creatine phosphate pretreatment on circulato ry function in prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.Methods Forty patients in ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ of male and female,aged 60 to 75 years undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in prone position,were randomly divided into two groups (n =20 each):the control group (gToup N) and the creatine phosphate group (group P).In the group P,creatine phosphate sodium (30 mg·kg-1 in 50 mL normal saline) was continuous infused at a speed of 100 mL· h-1,while only normal saline 50 mL in the group N at the same time.HR,MAP,CO,SV,CVP,Pulse Pressure Variation (PVV) and Systemic Circulation Resistance (SVR) were monitored and recorded at 1 min before prone position (T0) and 1 min (T1),3 min (T2),5 min (T3),10 min (T4) after prone position.The requirement for vasoactive agents were also recorded.Results Compared with T0,HR began to increase significantly at T1 in the group N(P ＜ 0.05),while MAP,CO and SV began to decrease at T1 to T3,and CVP,PVV and SVR began to increase significantly at the same time in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the group N,MAP,CO and SV were decreased,PPV,CVP and SVR were increased significantly at T1 to T2 in the group P (P ＜ 0.05).The requirement for vasoactive agents in the group P was obviously lower than that in the group N (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Creatine phosphate pretreatment can stabilize the hemodynamic change effectively,and prevent the adverse cardiovascular events caused by prone position in elder patients with general anesthesia.

Objective To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy on postoperative rehabili-tation in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 60-75 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physieal status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective lumbar surgery in the prone position under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and goal-directed fluid therapy group (group G).The CNAP system was used to monitor stroke volume variation and cardiac index continuously in group G.Mean arterial pressure was maintained at 60-110 mmHg,central venous pressure at 6-12 emH2O and urine volume more than 0.5 ml · kg-1 · h 1 using conventional fluid therapy in group C.In group G,goal-directed fluid therapy was performed under the guidance of stroke volume variation,and cardiac index was maintained at 2.5-4.0 L · min-1 · m 2.The requirement for crystalloid and colloid solution,total volume of fluid infu sed,blood loss,urine volume and requirement for vasoaetive agents were recorded during operation.After anesthesia induction,at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,blood samples were collected fromn the left radial artery for blood gas analysis,and the blood lactate concentration was recorded.The volume of drainage within 3 dlays after operation,perioperative blood transfusion,early postoperative cardiovascular and pulmonary complications,development of oliguria and anuria,emergence time and length of hospital stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the requirement for crystalloid solution,total volume of fluid infused,urine volume and requirement for vasoactive agents were significantly decreased during operation,the requirement for colloid solution was increased during operation,the blood lactate concentration was decreased at 1 h after turning to the prone position and at the end of operation,the length of hospital stay was shortened,and the incidence of postoperative cardiovascular and pulnonary eomplications was decreased in group G (P＜0.05).Conclusion Goal-directed fluid therapy can promote postoperative rehabilitation and shows a certain clinical value in elderly patients undergoing surgery in the prone position.
