Objective:To evaluate and summarize the best evidence on fatigue management in children with tumors both domestically and internationally, providing reference for medical and nursing staff to improve fatigue symptoms in children.Methods:The evidence on fatigue management in children with tumors, including best practices, recommended practices, guidelines, systematic reviews, evidence summaries, and expert consensus, was systematically retrieved from clinical decision support systems, guideline websites, professional association websites, and databases both domestically and internationally. The search period was from database establishment to April 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature quality evaluation and evidence extraction.Results:A total of 17 articles were included, including four guidelines and 13 systematic reviews. Thirty-two best pieces of evidence were extracted from six aspects of assessment and screening, identification of risk factors, health education, exercise intervention, medication intervention, and other interventions of fatigue in children with tumors.Conclusions:The best evidence for fatigue management in children with tumors is summarized, which can provide a basis for medical and nursing staff to improve their fatigue symptoms. It is recommended that medical and nursing staff combine clinical context, professional opinions, and patient wishes to screen the best evidence and develop personalized fatigue management programs.

Objective To compare the effects of CalliSpheres drug-eluting beads transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(DEB-TACE)and conventional TACE(c-TACE)on liver fibrosis and liver function in the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A total of 40 patients diagnosed with HCC at Xuzhou Municipal Cancer Hospital of China between October 2020 and October 2022 were enrolled in this study.According to therapeutic scheme,the patients were divided into DEB-TACE group(n=20)and c-TACE group(n=20).The preoperative,and postoperative 5-day and one-month hyaluronidase(HA),type Ⅲ procollagen peptide(P Ⅲ NP),type Ⅳ collagen(CⅣ)and laminin(LN),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBil),albumin(Alb),and prothrombin time(PT)were compared between the two groups.Results The technical success rate was 100％in both groups,and tumor staining completely disappeared immediately after TACE in all patients.The postoperative 5-day levels of HA,LN,P Ⅲ NP,and CⅣ in both groups were remarkably higher than the preoperative ones(P＜0.05).One month after TACE,HA level in the DEB-TACE group was prominently higher than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);HA and LN levels in the c-TACE group were obviously higher than their preoperative values(P＜0.05);and the HA and LN levels in c-TACE group were significantly higher than those in DEB-TACE group(P＜0.05).Five days after TACE,in the DEB-TACE group the AST and PT levels were higher than their preoperative values while the Alb level was lower than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);in the c-TACE group the ALT,AST,TBiL and PT were higher than their preoperative values while the Alb level was lower than its preoperative value(P＜0.05);the ALT and AST levels in the c-TACE group were strikingly higher than those in the DEB-TACE group while Alb level was strikingly lower than that in the DEB-TACE group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both CalliSpheres DEB-TACE and c-TACE can aggravate liver fibrosis and cause liver function damage.However,the degree of liver fibrosis and liver function damage caused by CalliSpheres DEB-TACE is less than that caused by c-TACE.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:259-263)

Objective: To explore the effect of ultrasound on dentin smear layer's surface and bonding strength of the universal resin adhesive under self-etching mode. Methods: Forty mandibular third molars without caries were randomly divided into two groups; one was polished with silicon carbide sandpaper; the other was polished with silicon carbide sandpaper followed by ultrasonic treatment. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe surface of the dentin. Treated teeth were bonded with two universal resin adhesives, Clearfil Universal Bond (pH=2.3) and All-Bond Universal (pH=3.1), and the penetration of the bonding interface was observed with a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) after Rhodamine B staining. Finally, the micro tensile bond strength test was conducted to test the adhesion. Results: The SEM showed that after polishing with silicon carbide sandpaper, the smear layer of the dentin surface was scratched, and dentin tubules were almost completely blocked, with no obvious dentin tubules exposed. After ultrasonic treatment, the scratches were reduced, and a large number of dentin tubules were exposed. CLSM showed that both adhesives could penetrate the dentin along the dentin tubules more deeply after ultrasound treatment. Micro tensile bond strength tests showed that ultrasonic treatment could enhance the bonding strength of two universal resin adhesives. However, there was no statistical difference in bonding strength between these two universal resin adhesives under the same treatment. . Conclusion Ultrasound can partially remove the smear layer on dentin's surface, expose dentin tubules, and increase universal resin adhesives' penetration depth and bonding strength under self-etching mode

Objective:To explore the value of Hong′s single-stitch duct to mucosa pancreaticoenterostomy(HSDMP) in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD).Methods:The perioperative clinical data of 300 patients undergoing LPD admitted to the Second Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery in the First Hospital of Jilin University from April 2015 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were categorized into pancreatic fistula group( n=43) and non pancreatic fistula group( n=257). according to the presence or absence of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Among them, pancreaticojejunostomy was performed with HSDMP in 210 patients, and 90 patients underwent traditional pancreaticoenterostomy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for the development of pancreatic fistula after LPD, and the difference on the time of pancreaticojejunostomy and the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula were compared between HSDMP and traditional pancreaticojejunostomy. Results:Univariate analysis showed that the differences on BMI, abdominal operation history, pancreatic texture, and pancreatic duct diameter were statistically significant compared with non-pancreatic fistula group (all P value <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that BMI ( OR1.180, 95% CI1.047-1.338, P=0.008) and pancreatic texture( OR=0.375, 95% CI 0.135-0.861, P=0.036) were independent risk factors for pancreatic fistula after LPD. Compared with traditional pancreaticojejunostomy, HSDMP was associated with shorter anastomosis time and low incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, but there was no statistical significance between the two groups. Conclusions:The independent risk factors for pancreatic fistula are high BMI and soft pancreatic texture. Compared with traditional pancreaticojejunostomy, HSDMP does not prolong LPD time and increase the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective:To investigate the expressions and correlation of bcl-2, programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) tissue specimens, and the relationship between chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis of DLBCL patients.Methods:The expressions of bcl-2, PD-1 and PD-L1 in 82 patients with DLBCL who were admitted to Chenzhou First People's Hospital of Hunan Province from May 2011 to April 2014 were detected by using immunohistochemistry, and the correlation of the expressions of bcl-2, PD-1 and PD-L1 with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The positive rate of bcl-2, PD-L1 and PD-1 in cancer tissues of DLBCL patients was 53.7% (44/82), 56.1% (46/82) and 32.9% (27/82), respectively. There was a correlation between bcl-2 and PD-L1 expression ( r = 0.306, P = 0.005). Bcl-2 was highly expressed in patients with international prognosis index (IPI) score 3-4 points, non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype and B symptoms (all P < 0.05); PD-1 was highly expressed in patients with IPI score 3-4 points ( P < 0.05); PD-L1 was highly expressed in patients with IPI score 3-4 points, tumor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, B symptoms, ≥60 years old, and non-GCB (all P < 0.05). The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in bcl-2-negative group were better than those in the bcl-2-positive group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05); OS and PFS in PD-L1-negative group were better than those in PD-L1-positive group, and the differences were statistically significant(both P < 0.01). There were no statistical differences in OS and PFS between PD-1-positive group and PD-1-negative group (both P > 0.05). OS and PFS in bcl-2 and PD-L1 co-expression group were worse than those in both negative or any negative group (all P < 0.01), and PFS in bcl-2 and PD-1 co-expression group was worse than those in both negative or any negative group ( P = 0.044). Cox multivariate analysis showed IPI score 3-4 points and B symptoms were the independent influencing factors of OS in DLBCL patients (both P < 0.01); IPI score 3-4 points, B symptoms and PD-L1-positive were the independent influencing factors of poor PFS in DLBCL patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The positive expressions of bcl-2 and PD-L1 are the independent factors for the poor prognosis of DLBCL patients, which may become new targets for the treatment of DLBCL.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of swallowing training supplemented with neuromuscular electrical stimulation to provide a reference for clinical treatment and further study.Methods Reports of randomized and controlled trials of surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation in treating post-stroke dysphagia were sought in the Cochrane library,the PubMed and Embase databases,the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL),and also in the ProQuest,PsycARTICLES,CBMdisc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),CQVIP database and Wanfang databases.All of the literature found was evaluated by 2 researchers according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and the data were extracted and combined.Then meta-analysis was performed using version 5.3 of the RevMan software package.Results Eleven randomized and controlled trials involving 576 patients were included in the meta-analysis.Together,the data showed that swallowing training supplemented by neuromuscular electrical stimulation is significantly more effective than swallowing training alone in improving swallowing function.It reduces the risk of aspiration and improves quality of life.It does not,however,generally shorten the pharyngeal transmit time.Conclusions Swallowing training supplemented with neuromuscular electrical stimulation is a promising approach for treatment of post-stroke dysphagia and warrants further study.

Objective Based on the theory of "lung and large intestine form", to observe the improvement of gastrointestinal function and pulmonary symptoms in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with phlegm heat accumulation and find the best meridians and acupoints. Methods A total of 120 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with phlegm heat accumulation and gastrointestinal dysfunction were randomly divided into intervention 1 group (lung meridian group), intervention 2 group (large intestine meridian group) and intervention 3 group (lung meridian and large intestine meridian group) and control group. There were 30 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional treatment and nursing. The intervention group was treated with acupoint massage along meridians, 1 times a day for 20 minutes, and the intervention lasted for 10 days. The scores of gastrointestinal symptoms, clinical symptom scores and C reactive protein among 4 groups were compared. Results The scores of gastrointestinal symptoms, clinical symptom scores and C reactive protein were decreased in all groups after intervention compared with those before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (F=9.736, 2.980, 0.894, P<0.01 or 0.05). After intervention, the difference of the scores of gastrointestinal symptoms among four groups were statistically significant (Ftime=213.423, F interaction =2.540, Fgroup =3.184, P<0.01 or 0.05). The difference of the scores of clinical symptoms among four groups were statistically significant( Ftime =337.859, P<0.01). The difference of C reactive protein among four groups was statistically significant (F=0.894, P<0.05). Conclusions Acupoint massage can effectively reduce the score of the symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract, the integral of clinical symptoms and the C reaction protein, and the effect of the massage of the meridians and collaterals. The effect of massage in the lung and the coliform meridian acupoint group is the best.
