OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of innovative perioperative pain management on prostate cancer patients with hematuria undergoing prostatic artery embolization (PAE). METHODS: A total of 60 patients undergoing PAE in the Interventional Therapy Department of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from May 2024 to January 2025 were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, with 30 patients in each group. The control group received traditional pain management of nursing. An innovative perioperative pain management was performed in intervention group including preoperative "body-mind-pain" holistic assessment and preparation, intraoperative humanistic care and real-time support, postoperative multimodal analgesia and rehabilitation, dynamic monitoring and closed-loop feedback. The pain degree after 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 1 week of the operation, and the quality of life after 1 week of operation, as well as nursing satisfaction at discharge were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The VAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group after 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days and 1 week of operation (P<0.05). One week after the operation, the quality of life in the observation group was higher than that of the control group significantly (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group at discharge(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The application of innovative perioperative pain management can alleviate pain of patients with PAE, which improves the quality of life and nursing satisfaction of patients, and is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with clinical and subclinical Cushing's syndrome caused by primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia(PBMAH).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 198 patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH diagnosed in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2004 to October 2024.According to clinical manifestations,the patients were classified into clinical type Cushing's syndrome(n=61)and subclinical type Cushing's syndrome(n=137),and the clinical characteristics of the two types were compared.Results The mean age at diagnosis of patients with PBMAH-induced Cushing's syndrome was(53.5±10.4)years,including 118 males and 80 females,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.475:1.Compared with the subclinical type,the clinical type had a higher proportion of females,higher levels of serum cortisol,24-hour urine free cortisol(24 h UFC),and inhibited serum cortisol after low-dose dexamethasone suppression.Additionally,the clinical type had lower plasma ACTH,larger adrenal nodules and a higher risk of surgery(P<0.05)compared with those in subclinical type.The incidences of hypertension,dyslipidemia,obesity,diabetes mellitus,hypokalemia,vitamin D deficiency,osteoporosis,coronary heart disease,and cerebrovascular disease in patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH were 87.9%,50.5%,37.1%,36.9%,27.8%,25.9%,18.7%,18.7%and 12.1%,respectively.Among them,compared with subclinical type patients,clinical type patients had higher incidence of hypokalaemia,vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis(P<0.05),while there were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of other comorbidities between the two types(P>0.05).The results of postoperative follow-up for PBMAH patients showed that the short-term biochemical remission rate of unilateral total adrenalectomy was 41.5%(22/53)and the long-term biochemical remission rate was 32.0%(8/25).The short-term biochemical remission rate of unilateral partial(or nodular)adrenalectomy was 52.9%(9/17),and the long-term biochemical remission rate was 14.3%(1/7).All patients who underwent unilateral total adrenalectomy plus contralateral partial resection developed adrenal insufficiency(3/3),and 1 patient(1/3)relapsed 3.4 years after surgery.Conclusion Clinical and subclinical types of Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH have their distinct clinical characteristics.Surgery is an effective treatment for PBMAH,but a certain proportion of patients fail to achieve biochemical remission after non-bilateral total adrenalectomy.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related diabetes mellitus(ICI-DM).Methods The clinical characteristics,laboratory examinations,treatment regimens,and follow-up outcomes of 10 ICI-DM patients who were diagnosed and treated in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between July 2019 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Relevant literatures were retrieved from domestic and foreign databases such as PubMed,CNKI,and VIP.The clinical characteristics of ICI-DM were summarized based on the literature results.Results All 10 patients were PD-1 inhibitor users,including 5 males and 5 females,with a median age of 54.5(51.3,64.0)years and a body mass index(BMI)of(22.0±2.15)kg/m2.Among them,9 cases(90.0%)were fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus(FT1DM);9 cases(90.0%)had a severity of adverse events reaching grade 3-4 according to the Common Terminology Criteria for adverse events(CTCAE).The median time from PD-1 inhibitor treatment to the occurrence of the classic diabetes symptoms referred to as"three more and one less"(polyuria,polydipsia,polyphagia,and weight loss)in all patients was 145.5(110.5,204.8)days,and the medication duration was 6.0(4.3,7.8)cycles.The average blood glucose level of the 10 patients at the time of consultation was 25.3(10.0-41.4)mmol/L,and the glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)level was 8.0%(6.6%-10.9%).Eight patients had fasting and 2-hour C-peptide levels<0.1 ng/ml(fasting C-peptide from<0.010 to 0.067 ng/ml,2-hour C-peptide from<0.010 to 0.077 ng/ml).Nine of the 10 patients were negative for diabetes autoantibodies,while 1 was not tested.All 10 patients were successfully treated with insulin and other therapies.During the follow-up after discharge,all patients still relied on insulin treatment,and no significant recovery of pancreatic islet β cell function was observed compared with that at discharge.Literature review revealed that ICI-DM was more common in PD-1 inhibitor users,with clinical mainly manifested as diabetic ketoacidosis(DKA)(65.4%)and diabetic ketosis(13.1%).Patients had severely impaired pancreatic islet function and required long-term insulin treatment,and some cases were complicated by thyroid or pituitary dysfunction.Conclusions ICI-DM typically presents as FT1DM,often manifesting with DKA or diabetic ketosis at onset.It is characterized by severe and irreversible loss of pancreatic islet function,necessitating lifelong insulin therapy.To enable early detection and prompt treatment,close monitoring of blood glucose is essential during ICI treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of Euphorbia helioscopia on biological behaviors of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells.Methods NSCLC cell lines PC-9 and A549 treated with different concentrations of Euphorbia helioscopia preparations were examined for changes in proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and migration using CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,flow cytometry,wound healing assay and Transwell assay.Western blotting was performed to detect the changes in protein expressions of Bax,Bcl-2,E-cadherin,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9 in the treated cells.PC-9 cells were injected subcutaneously into BALB/C nude mice to establish a nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model.According to the growth of subcutaneous tumors,mice were randomly divided into control group:gavaged daily with saline;Euphorbia helioscopia-treated group:gavaged daily with Euphorbia helioscopia 65 mg/mL,and Euphorbia helioscopia granules were dissolved in saline;cisplatin-treated group:injected intraperitoneally with cisplatin 4 mg/kg every 5 days,6 mice per group.The subcutaneous tumor volume and mass changes of mice were measured,and the toxic effects of Euphorbia helioscopia on heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney as well as the therapeutic effects of Euphorbia helioscopia were observed in the mice bearing tumor.Results Euphorbia helioscopia granules concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation and survival of PC-9 and A549 cells,significantly promoted cell apoptosis,suppressed invasion and migration abilities of the cells,up-regulated the expression levels of E-cadherin and Bax,and down-regulated the expressions of Bcl-2,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9.In the tumor-bearing mice,treatment with Euphorbia helioscopia significantly inhibited tumor growth without producing obvious toxicity in the vital organs.Conclusion Euphorbia helioscopia can inhibit proliferation,invasion,and migration and induces apoptosis of NSCLC cells in vitro.

[ Abstract] Objective To explore the role pathway and pattern of the Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) and its mRNA interaction with microRNA (miRNAs) and circular RNA (circRNAs) at 0 hour and the 120 th hour in the rat liver regeneration. Methods The rat 2 / 3 hepatectomy (partial hepatectomy, PH) model was prepared as described by Higgins, the hepatocytes were isolated according to the method of Smedsrod et al, the expression changes of mRNA, miRNA and circRNA together named as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) were detected by the large-scale quantitative detection technology, the interaction network of ceRNA was constructed by Cytoscape 3. 2 software, and their correlation in expression and role were analyzed by ceRNA comprehensive analysis. Results It was found that at the 0 hour and the 120th hour PH, the ratio value of KLF4 mRNA showed 1. 00±0. 16 and 3. 14±0. 27, miR-881-3p displays 18. 30±1. 44 and 0. 47±0. 02, circRNA_20298 indicated 0. 32±0. 10 and 4. 24±0. 22, circRNA_14826 showed 0. 42±0. 13 and 0. 61±0. 08. At the same time, the four kinds of cell apoptosis-related genes adrenoceptor beta 2 (ADRB2), dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDAH2), annexin A5 (ANXA5), ect, which were promoted in expression by KLF4, were down-regulated at 0 hour after PH, but the cell apoptosis-related genes synuclein gamma (SNCG), glutathione-disulfide reductase (GSR), FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 4 (FGD4), ect, which were inhibited in expression by KLF4, were up-regulated at 0 hour after PH. On the other hand, the cell apoptosis-related genes ANXA5 and thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10), which are promoted in expression by KLF4, were up-regulated at the 120th hour after PH, but the cell apoptosis-related genes chloride intracellular channel 4 (CLIC4) and ataxin 3 (ATXN3), ect, which were inhibited in expression by KLF4, were down-regulated at the 120th hour after PH. Conclusion The correlation in expression and role of the miRNAs, which are inhibited by circRNAs, KLF4, its mRNA is inhibited by miRNAs, and the cell apoptosis-related genes, which are regulated by KLF4, are helpful for the hepatocyte to be in active state 0 hour after PH and to be in apoptotic state 120-hour after PH.

Objective:To investigate the application and surgical effect of lobed anterolateral femoral chimeric perforator flap in repairing the complex soft tissue defects of limbs.Methods:Clinical materials of 52 cases with complex soft tissue defects of limbs were retrospectively reviewed from October 2013 to October 2020. Thirty-two males and 20 females were reviewed, and the age of them ranged from 6 to 65(mean 39) years old. The injuries include 17 cases of traffic accidents, 15 machine crush injuries, 12 engineering accidents, and 8 extensive resection of malignant tumors. The size of soft tissue defects ranged from 26.0 cm×10.0 cm to 35.0 cm×15.0 cm. Lobed anterolateral thigh chimeric perforator flaps or lobed Flow-through chimeric perforator flaps were designed according to the soft tissue defects and blood circulation of the distal extremities. Start from 8-month post-operation, upper limb function was assessed according to the Upper Limb Function Assessment Standard of Hand Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and Disability of arm shoulder and hand(DASH) score scale, and Fugl-Meyer score system was used to evaluate the lower limb function. Long-term follow-up was conducted through WeChat video call and outpatient clinic evaluation.Results:All flaps survived. One patient with crush injury got delayed wound healing due to deep hemaetoma after surgery, and the rest were healed at the first stage. All the cases entered followed-up, ranged from 6 to 20(mean 8) months. The appearance of the flaps was satisfactory, and the color of the flaps has no significant difference compared with the recipient area. No recurrence of tumor was reported during the follow-up period.

Objective:To explore the method of scar management after the operation of congenital syndactyly.Methods:The clinical data of children with congenital cutaneous skin syndactyly of the hand admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The procedures of finger dividing were performed under general anesthesia, and the fingers were bandaged in an extended position after the operation. After the incision was healed entirely, anti-scar drugs were used in conjunction with the reconstruction of the webbed with a self-adhesive soft silicone film, wrapped with a self-adhesive elastic bandage for one year, and an extended finger brace was worn for 3 to 6 months. Postoperative complications, finger shape, and appearance were followed up. At the last follow-up, family members of the children were asked to evaluate the reconstruction effect of the webbed shape, scar condition, and flexion and extension of the affected finger.Total active movement( TAM )evaluation criteria were used to evaluate the flexion and extension function of the affected finger. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the postoperative cicatrix.Results:A total of 28 children with 32 syndactyly were included, including 12 males and 16 females. The age ranged from 12 to 34 months (mean, 18.3 months). The syndactyly was unilateral in 24 patients (left in 14 and right in 10) and bilateral in 4. Among all the 32 syndactyly, there were 16 cases of the middle-ring finger, 9 cases of the ring-little finger, 5 cases of the index-middle finger, and 2 cases of the thumb-index finger. All the children were followed up for 13~36 months (mean, 28.6 months). No complications such as infection and abnormal blood supply occurred in the early postoperative period. The shape and appearance of the fingers were in good condition. While using a self-adhesive soft silicone membrane, two children developed a local rash, which was improved by desensitization treatment and continued to use usually. The family members were satisfied with the shape of the reconstructed finger web, the scar, and the flexion and extension of the affected finger. TAM evaluation criteria showed a 100% excellent flexion and extension function rate. VSS showed a 100% excellent-good rate of scar status.Conclusions:After incision healing of the reconstruction surgery for pediatric congenital syndactyly, the use of anti-scar drugs, including self-adhesive elastic bandages and split-finger braces, can effectively prevent postoperative scar hyperplasia and better consolidate the treatment effect, with distinct clinical application value.
