Acute leukemia（AL）is a common hematological malignancy in children and adolescents. Chemotherapy is currently the primary treatment for AL.Alternative therapies，such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation（HSCT），targeted therapy，and immunotherapy also offer greater hope for the survival of refractory/relapsed patients. Chemotherapeutic drugs，radiotherapy，targeted drugs and immunotherapeutic drugs are well-applied clinically，meanwhile posing threats to non-target systems. The adverse effects on the reproductive system may lead to the dilemma of infertility，thus reducing the long-term quality of life. As the survival rate of AL patients keeps increasing continuously，the influence of different treatments on the gonad function needs to be clarified. With the help of targeted fertility prevention，the patient′s quality of life can be enhanced in parallel with life span. This article aims to review the impact of AL treatment on ovarian function in female children and adolescents and provide ideas for the long-term fertility protection of leukemia patients.

Objective To explore the effects of different acupoints,different target organs,and different interventions on acupoint efficacy based on ACU&MOX-DATA platform;To illustrate and visualize whether the above factors have the characteristics of"specific effect"or"common effect"of acupoint efficacy.Methods The multi-source heterogeneous data were integrated from the original omics data and public omics data.After standardization,differential gene analysis,disease pathology network analysis,and enrichment analysis were performed using Batch Search and Stimulation Mode modules in ACU&MOX-DATA platform under the conditions of different acupoints,different target organs,and different interventions.Results Under the same disease state and the same intervention,there were differences in effects among different acupoints;under the same disease state,the same acupoint and intervention,the responses produced by different target organs were not completely consistent;under the same disease state and acupoint,there were differences in effects among different intervention measures.Conclusion Based on the analysis of ACU&MOX-DATA platform,it is preliminary clear that acupoints,target organs,and interventions are the key factors affecting acupoint efficacy.Meanwhile,the above results have indicated that there are specific or common regulatory characteristics of acupoint efficacy.Applying ACU&MOX-DATA platform to analyze and visualize the critical scientific problems in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion can provide references for deepening acupoint cognition,guiding clinical acupoint selection,and improving clinical efficacy.

Objective To analyze the retrieval rate of inferior vena cava filter(IVCF)and its safety,and to make a histological analysis of the filter attachment substances.Methods The clinical data of 234 patients with IVCF,who were admitted to Affiliated Tenth People's Hospital,Tongji University,to retrieve IVCF between June 2020 and May 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The retrieval success rate,complications and filter attachment substances were statistically analyzed,and the nature of the attachment substances was examined by using histological staining.Results The retrieval success rate in the 234 patients was 91.03％(213/234).In 17 patients the retrieval of IVCF was abandoned due to the filter capturing the thrombus,and in 4 patients the retrieval of IVCF failed due to tilting of the filter.No complications such as vena cava perforation,symptomatic pulmonary embolism and hemorrhage occurred in all patients during perioperative period.Of the 213 patients whose filter was successfully removed,the filter attachment substances was found in 156 patients.Histological staining of the filter attachment substances demonstrated that the main component of these substances was a mixed thrombus with a small amount of cellulose degeneration.Further analysis revealed that the incidence of filter attachment substances in ≤14-day group was lower than than that in＞14-day group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(x2=6.791,P=0.009);and the incidence of filter attachment substances in the non-anticoagulant group was lower than that in the anticoagulant group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(x2=7.774,P=0.005).Conclusion The retrieval rate of retrievable IVCFs is quite high and the retrieval procedure carries less complications,therefore,it is safe to use retrievable IVCFs in clinical practice.However,the formation of tiny thrombosis within the filter after the placement of filter cannot be ignored,which should be seriously considered in the clinical work.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of photoplethysmography (PPG) in the detection of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) among critically ill patients with respiratory or cardiocerebrovascular diseases accompanied by snoring. Methods A total of 91 critically ill patients with respiratory or cardiocerebrovascular diseases accompanied by snoring, admitted to the internal medicine ward of Subei People's Hospital from January 2019 to October 2023 were enrolled. After informed consent, overnight polysomnography (PSG) and PPG were performed. The consistency of the sleep apnea parameters obtained of the two methods by sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results There were no statistically significant differences in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), total sleep time, lowest oxygen saturation, and time with oxygen saturation below 90% between PPG and PSG (P>0.05). When AHI≥ 5 times/h and AHI≥15 times/h, the diagnostic sensitivity of the patients in this group was 94.37% and 93.10%, respectively, with specificities of 73.68% and 90.91%, positive predictive values of 91.78% and 94.74%, and negative predictive values of 77.78% and 88.23%, and areas under the ROC curves were 0.961 and 0.982, respectively. For critically ill patients with respiratory diseases, the diagnostic sensitivity was 89.29% and 87.10%, respectively, with specificities of 84.62% and 80.00%, positive predictive values of 92.59% and 93.10%, and negative predictive values of 78.57% and 72.72%, and the areas under the ROC curves were 0.978 and 0.987, respectively. For critically ill patients with cardiocerebrovascular diseases, the diagnostic sensitivity was 87.18% and 90.32%, respectively, with specificities of 83.33% and 89.47%, positive predictive values of 91.89% and 99.63%, and negative predictive values of 78.57% and 85.56%, and the areas under the ROC curves were 0.942 and 0.986, respectively. Conclusion PPG monitoring results show high consistency with PSG in critically ill patients with respiratory and cardiocerebrovascular diseases combined with OSAS.

Objective:Applying bibliometrics to analyze the research history, hotspots and trends of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interventions in edema-related diseases, and to provide reference for the revision of diagnostic and therapeutic criteria for edema in TCM.Methods:The literature about edema treated with TCM was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM from 1 st. Jan 1995 to 25 th. May 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer softwares were used to draw the knowledge map, and analyze the co-occurrence relationship and clustering characteristics of the institution, author, keywords and mechanism hotspots. Results:Totally 3 198 articles were included. The annual number of documents issued generally shows a spiral rise trend. Liaoning University of Chinese Medicine published the most articles. Core authors published the most articles were Sun Wei (13 articles); the team with the highest cooperation intensity was Yang Hongtao's team; keywords formed 7 clusters. Hotspot mechanisms included metabolic disorders, immune balance, anti-inflammation, calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Keywords in the past 7 years were membranous nephropathy, chronic heart failure, diabetes, lymphedema etc.Conclusions:The attention paid to the intervention of TCM in the field of edema is generally on the rise, and has decreased in the past two years. The research categories focus on the experience of famous doctors, clinical trials, and mechanistic studies, and nephropathy-related edema has been the focus of research; diabetic nephropathy, chronic heart failure, metabolomics, and immunotherapy are expected to be the focus of attention in the next stage.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy evaluation criteria of the existing TCM treatment for edema RCT research, and to provide reference for the construction of unified standards.Methods:The batabases CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, Pubmed and Web of Science were retrieved. The randomized controlled trials for the treatment of edema of TCM research, from September 1, 1993 to July 31, 2022, were screened and included. The content of efficacy evaluation, performed statistics on evaluation standard, the curative effect evaluation indexes, as well as standard composition, usage were extracted. We analyzed the characteristics, application and problems of the existing efficacy evaluation criterion.Results:A total of 123 Chinese articles were included. The included literature involved nephrogenic edema, cardiogenic edema, idiopathic edema, apoplexy limb edema and other edema. In recent years, randomized controlled trials on the treatment of edema by TCM have mainly used four efficacy evaluation criteria. Of which the Guidelines for Clinical Research on New Chinese Medicines (Trial) in 2002 had the highest utilization rate of 29.27%. Secondly, the utilization rate of Standard for Diagnosis and Curative Effect of TCM Diseases and Syndromes was 21.14%. The rest of the criteria were used by less than 6%. While 39.02% of the literature did not use the standards or used self-designed standards. Among the composition of efficacy evaluation indices, the application rate of TCM syndrome or symptom efficacy index was the highest (91.87%), the utilization rate of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire Indicators was only 4.88%; biochemical tests accounted for a large proportion of Western medical indicators, while the measurement of edema severity was rarely applied. Conclusions:At present, the evaluation criteria of edema curative effect are diversified and insufficiently popularized, which need to be further screened and improved. It is suggested to construct a TCM edema efficacy evaluation model based on the characteristics of edema syndrome, comprehensively evaluate the efficacy from multiple dimensions such as TCM syndromes, western medicine indicators, and quality of life, and improve the scientific indicators.

A new wave of research has been inspired by the CRISPR-Cas system with respect to their application in genome editing. The CRISPR-Cas system can not only be applied in gene knockout and insertion, but also be used in base editing, transcriptional regulation and recombination of gene clusters. However, the low efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR) limits its application. Unlike the CRISPR-Cas system, mobile genetic elements (MGE) can insert DNA fragments into cell chromosomes without the aid of HDR. Recently, it is reported that CRISPR-related transposable elements can guide targeted DNA insertion. Their transposition mechanisms and reprogramming abilities have brought novel opportunities to the development of this field. This review summarized the research progress and application development of natural CRISPR-related transposable elements in recent years, as well as the applications of fused dCas9-transposase. It proposed the application prospects and potential challenges of CRISPR-related transposable elements in the future, which provided a reference for the development direction of gene editing tools.

Objective:To assess the clinical result of repeated combined detrusor-trigone botulinum toxin A(BTX-A)injection and intermittent catheterization(IC) for male adults with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and urinary incontinence(UI) secondary to spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods:From January to August 2021, the data of 43 adult male patients with NDO and UI secondary to SCI who received repeated trigone-including intradetrusor BTX-A injection in Guangdong Provincial Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of the patients was (29.1±10.7) years. The mean incontinence specific quality of life (I-QOL) was (39±4.8). The UI episodes was (11.9±2.6), mean voiding volume was (170.7±20.1)ml, mean maximum detrusor pressure at first NDO was (81.4±19.6) cmH 2O and mean volume at first NDO was (169.1±40.0)ml.All patients received trigone-including intradetrusor BTX-A (300 U, 30 sites) injection for four times and IC. Clinical data including I-QOL, bladder diary, video-urodynamic test and adverse events were recorded at baseline and 12 weeks after each injection. Results:Mean interval between four injections were (220.6±27.4), (222.8±24.1) and (224.4±39.0) d ( P=0.13). Compared with baseline data before first injection, mean I-QOL after the first, second, third and fourth injection increased to (54.9±9.1), (56.1±7.9), (61.7±9.1) and (68.8±8.9) (all P<0.001). The number of urinary incontinence cases decreased to 36, 35, 35 and 33 (all P<0.05). The mean urinary incontinence episodes per day decreased to (4.4±0.6), (3.8±0.4), (2.2±0.5) and (2.1±0.3)(all P<0.001). Mean voiding volume increased to (288.3±40.2), (300.0±38.6), (316.9±46.8) and (319.5±36.7) ml (all P<0.001). Mean maximum detrusor pressure at first NDO decreased to (29.4± 11.0), (26.1±8.7), (20.3±5.9) and (18.5±6.0) cmH 2O (all P<0.001) and mean volume at first NDO increased to (270.0±48.7), (284.9±51.3), (287.7±47.9) and (303.0±46.2) ml (all P<0.001), respectively. Compared with four injections, no difference in response was found in the mean I-QOL, the number of urinary incontinence cases, mean urinary incontinence episodes mean voiding volume, mean maximum detrusor pressure at first NDO and mean volume at first NDO (all P>0.05). No de novo VUR occurred and 2 cases of grade Ⅱ VUR at baseline had resolved after the first injection. 9 patients experienced serious gross hematuria within first week after injection, but the urine returned to clear by prolonging the catheter indwelling time or bladder irrigation. 12 patients with active urinary tract infection were treated with indwelling catheter and sensitive antibiotics. Patients continued IC when the symptoms, signs and laboratory examination were normal. Conclusions:Combined detrusor-trigone BTX-A injection and IC could help decrease detrusor pressure, restore some of the lower urinary tract function and improve the quality of life for male patients with NDO and UI secondary to SCI. Repeated injection is as effective and safe as the first injection.

Tetanus consists of neonatal tetanus and non-neonatal tetanus. Non-neonatal tetanus remains a serious public health problem, although neonatal tetanus has been eliminated in China since 2012. Non-neonatal tetanus is a potential fatal disease. In the absence of medical intervention, the mortality rate of severe cases is almost 100%. Even with vigorous treatment, the mortality rate remains 30%-50% globally. These specifications aim to regulate non-neonatal tetanus diagnosis and treatment in China, in order to improve medical quality and safety. These specifications introduce the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, grading and treatment of non-neonatal tetanus.
