Intestinal mucositis is a common complication induced by chemotherapy in malignant tumors， which severely compromises the efficacy of chemotherapy and reduces patients’ quality of life. This article systematically reviews the pathological mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis， encompassing oxidative damage， inflammatory injury， apoptotic damage， disruption of the intestinal barrier， and intestinal dysbiosis. Additionally， it provides a comprehensive summary of current therapeutic strategies for intestinal mucositis， including chemical agents and composite materials， natural products， compound prescription of traditional Chinese medicine， growth factors， blood products， and fecal microbiota transplantation. Future efforts should strengthen multidisciplinary cross-innovation， integrating animal models and large-scale clinical trials to develop highly effective and low-toxicity therapeutic drugs that balance chemotherapy toxicity and antitumor efficacy.

Objective:To optimize the preventive maintenance path of electric medical equipment by adopting multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA),and to verify its optimization effect.Methods:The preventive maintenance paths for electric medical equipment were determined through literature research and management group discussions.An expert meeting was organized to discuss,determine,and demonstrate the preventive maintenance path evaluation criteria,and the weight of the criteria was set.Each preventive maintenance path was scored by experts based on criteria,the score of each maintenance path was calculated using the mean and sorted to form the optimal path.767 electric medical equipment of 7 categories in clinical use in the 960th Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from 2021 to 2022 were selected,conventional preventive maintenance management(referred to as conventional management mode)and preventive maintenance path management optimized by MCDA method(referred to as MCDA management mode)were adopted respectively according to different management modes.The changes in indicators such as failure rate,maintenance time,quality inspection pass rate and maintenance cost of electric medical equipment were compared between the two management models.Results:The failure occurrence rate of electric medical equipment of the MCDA management mode was 8.71%(67/767),which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(x2=3.960,P<0.05).The equipment maintenance time of the MCDA management mode was(2.24±1.17)days,which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=2.360,P<0.05).The quality inspection qualification rate of the MCDA management model was(96.57±2.74)%,which was higher than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=4.342,P<0.05).The average maintenance cost of equipment of the MCDA management model accounted for 2.37%of its assets,which was lower than that of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.261,P<0.05).Conclusion:The MCDA method can provide a quantitative structural model for the optimization of preventive maintenance paths for electric medical equipment,and the optimized preventive maintenance paths can achieve efficient management of electric medical equipment,and focusing on the training of maintenance personnel's technical level can increase the self-repair rate and reduce the failure rate of medical equipment.

To explore the formation mechanism of static magnetic field artifacts,motion artifacts,chemical shift artifacts and folding artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)equipment,and to propose for different artifact failures and common faults using multiple maintenance methods.The artifacts were mainly related to the anomaly of the magnetic field strength,the unoptimized sequence,and the physical limits.The occurrence of static magnetic field artifacts was reduced by using plane avoidance sequence excitation technology,the motion artifacts were eliminated by propeller imaging technology,the occurrence rate of motion artifacts was reduced by reducing hydrogen proton signal interference,and the fold artifacts were suppressed by expanding the scanning field of view,in order to obtain a good resonance image effect and reduce the probability of MRI artifacts,improve the accuracy of medical detection.

【Objective】 To develop methods to display the IgG autoantibody repertoire of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products, analyze the different types of antibodies and study the diversity of IgG autoantibody in 4 IVIG preparations from different Chinese manufacturers. 【Methods】 Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proteins were used to demonstrate the IgG autoantibody repertoire and the human protein microarray with bioinformatics analysis was employed to profile the immune reactive autoantigens of the 4 IVIG preparations. 【Results】 The methods to showcase the autoantibody repertoire and study the antibody diversity of IVIG were successfully established. High-quality repertoires of IVIG autoantibodies and biological information about self-proteins that can be recognized were obtained. There was a significant difference in the recognition of the quantity and variety of the self-antigens by different IVIG products. The number of antibodies against HUVEC proteins in four products ranged from 241-386. The number of proteins recognized on the human protein chip ranged from 292-435, with 172 human self-proteins recognized by all four products. 【Conclusion】 Demonstration of antibody repertoire and protein chip technology can be used to analyze IVIG products′ IgG autoantibody repertoire. All four preparations tested in this study exhibited a broad spectrum of antibodies against HUVEC proteins and human proteome microarray, each product had its unique antibody repertoire characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of unintended pregnancy within two years postpartum and its influencing factors in China.Methods:Participants who delivered a live birth at 60 hospitals in 15 provinces in the eastern, central and western regions of China during July 2015 to June 2016 were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. Information on occurrence of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery, postpartum contraceptive use, sexual resumption, breastfeeding, and women′s socio-demographic characteristics, and so on, were collected. Life-table analysis, cluster log-rank tests and a 2-level Cox regression model were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 18 045 postpartum women were investigated. The cumulative 1- and 2-year unintended pregnancy rates after delivery were 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5%－6.1%) and 13.1% (95% CI: 11.3%－14.8%), respectively. Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years postpartum were increased in younger women, ethnic minorities, women with abortion history, and those who had a vaginal delivery with short lactation time and late postpartum contraceptive initiation (all P<0.01). The risk of postpartum unintended pregnancy was not associated with geographic regions and hospitals where women gave a birth (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In China, the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery is relatively high. Service institutions and service providers should improve the quality of postpartum family planning services, promote the use of high effect contraceptive methods, and educate women to use a method at the time of their sexual resumption or even before.

The method of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of shoulder hand syndrome after stroke is reliablet, quick, with simple operation and less adverse reactions. Among them, characteristic acupuncture could focus on the targeted points with obvious effect than ordinary acupuncture, and the combination with rehabilitation training could greatly improve the curative effect. However, there still exist some problems in the current research, such as the difficulty of conducting blind clinical trials of acupuncture therapy; the lack of follow-up data in the evaluation of curative effect, the uncertainty of long-term curative effect; the small sample size of clinical research, etc., so multi-centered and large sample RCT research are still needed.

Objective: To analyze the treatment efficacy in the vertically impacted maxillary central incisors using cone-beam CT (CBCT) and explore the treatment timing and the influence of orthodontic traction on the root development and alveolar bone height in the mixed dentition. Methods: Twenty-two patients with vertically impacted maxillary central incisor who were admitted to the Department of Orthodontics, Stomatological Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from December 2012 to December 2017 were selected [12 males and 10 females, (9.2±0.9) years]. Based on the dental age, patients were classified as early treatment group (teeth ranging from a third to two thirds of root formation, n=12) and late treatment group (teeth with nearly or fully complete root formation, n=10). The contralateral maxillary central incisor was used as the control. Three-dimensional reconstruction of CBCT before treatment, after treatment and one year after treatment was carried out to measure root length, tooth surface area, tooth volume, labial and lingual apical alveolar bone thickness, the loss of labial alveolar bone height and intraosseous root ratio. The clinical crown length was measured in the mouth. The difference values of the measurement variables between the impacted teeth and the control teeth were calculated and analyzed(measurement values of impacted teeth were subtracted from control values). Results: The values of root length difference beween the impacted teeth and the control teeth in the early and late treatment group were (1.58±1.56) mm and (2.57±1.00) mm, respectively after the treatment and the values were significantly less than those corresponding values before treatment [(3.47±1.40) and (3.36±0.79) mm] (P<0.05). After the treatment, the values of the surface area and volume difference between the impacted teeth and the control teeth in the early treatment group [(0±34) mm² and (-10±44) mm³] were significantly less than those corresponding values before treatment [(38±31) mm² and (55±70) mm³] (P<0.05). The value differences of any measurement variables between the early and late treatment group were not significantly different after the treatment (P>0.05). The root length and intraosseous root ratio of the impacted teeth after the treatment in the early and late treatment group were significantly less than those of the control teeth after the treatment (P<0.05). The clinical crown length, the loss of labial alveolar bone height of the impacted teeth after the treatment were significantly larger than those of the control teeth after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions Orthodontic traction promoted the root growth and development of the vertically impacted maxillary central incisors. However, the root length and alveolar bone height still cannot reach the normal level after treatment. Treatment timing had no effect on root development and alveolar bone height of vertically impacted maxillary central incisors in mixed dentition.

Objective: Previous cross-sectional studies suggested that elevated levels of total cholesterol content of erythrocyte membrane (CEM) could significantly increase the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The purpose of the present study was to assess the predictive value of baseline CEM levels for the risk of clinical endpoint events in patients with ACS through prospective follow-up studies. Methods: This study is a prospective follow-up study, which consisted of 859 patients with first ACS (698 patients with unstable angina pectoris and 161 patients with acute myocardial infarction), diagnosed and hospitalized in the First and Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. The routine blood lipid levels and CEM were measured. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median of baseline CEM: CEM≤131.56 μg/mg group (n=430) and CEM>131.56 μg/mg group (n=429). Patients were followed up at 6 months interval. The clinical endpoints were nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, all-cause mortality, all-cause mortality, heart failure requiring hospitalization, and coronary artery revascularization. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and Cox proportional hazard model were used to analyze the impact of elevated CEM on the occurrence of clinical end-point events. HR values and 95%CI of each variable were obtained. Cox regression analysis of all-cause mortality was performed according to whether patients had risk factors for coronary heart disease (hypertension, diabetes, smoking and elevated LDL-C) and whether they were treated with PCI. Results: The follow-up time was 1 640 (1 380, 2 189) days. Cox analysis after adjustment showed that an elevated baseline of CEM (>131.56 μg/mg) was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.690, 95%CI 1.041-2.742, P=0.034), but had no significant predictive effect on the other clinical endpoints. Subgroup analysis showed that elevated baseline CEM levels in ACS patients with LDL-C>1.8 mmol/L (HR=1.687, 95%CI 1.026-2.774, P=0.039), receiving in-hospital PCI (HR=2.365, 95%CI 1.054-5.307, P=0.037), or male (HR=1.794, 95%CI 1.010-3.186, P=0.046) were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Conclusion The results showed that elevated CEM levels can increase the risk of all-cause mortality in ACS patients.
