Objective To introduce the causes of accidents and the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with radiation-induced skin injury admitted to our hospital in 2023, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of subsequent radiation-induced skin injury. Methods The clinical treatment process of two patients with acute skin injury caused by external radiation exposure were summarized and analyzed. Results The exposure history of the two patients was reconstructed, the flaw detection scenario was simulated, the biological dose and hand skin exposure dose were estimated, and the infrared thermal imaging device was used for dynamic monitoring. A comprehensive analysis was conducted based on clinical manifestations and other data. The diagnosis of “Xie” was excessive exposure combined with acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade IV for the right hand palm, index finger, and middle finger and Grade II for the left hand little finger). The diagnosis of “Hao” was acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade I). The two patients received different clinical treatment measures: “Xie” was treated with both local and systemic therapies, while “Hao” was mainly treated with systemic therapy. Conclusion After systematic and effective treatment, the radiation-induced skin injuries healed in both patients.

Objective To investigate the association between physical activity levels and blood lipids among college freshmen, and to provide scientific evidence for the health management of college freshmen. Methods An electronic questionnaire survey on physical activity was conducted on freshmen of a university, and fasting blood biochemical indicators were detected. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form was used to evaluate the physical activity levels of the participants. Dyslipidemia was defined as an abnormality in any one of the following serum lipid parameters: total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Binary logistic regression and stratified analyses were employed to explore the relationship between physical activity and blood lipids. Results A total of 3 401 participants were included, with an average age of 18.45 ± 0.92 years, and 60.5% were female. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 17.7%, with a higher rate among males (22.1%) than females (14.8%). After adjusting for confounding factors related to blood lipids, high-intensity physical activity was negatively associated with the risk of elevated LDL-C among males (OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.13–0.99, P = 0.049). Conclusion Among freshmen at a medical college in Hubei Province, high-intensity physical activity is negatively associated with the risk of elevated LDL-C in males, but this association needs to be further confirmed by larger prospective cohort studies.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for anastomotic leakage (AL) in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery. Methods A computer-based search of PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed and CNKI was conducted to collect studies on postoperative AL risk prediction model for esophageal cancer from their inception to October 1st, 2023. PROBAST tool was employed to evaluate the bias risk and applicability of the model, and Stata 15 software was utilized for meta-analysis. Results A total of 19 literatures were included covering 25 AL risk prediction models and 7373 patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.670-0.960. Among them, 23 prediction models had a good prediction performance (AUC>0.7); 13 models were tested for calibration of the model; 1 model was externally validated, and 10 models were internally validated. Meta-analysis showed that hypoproteinemia (OR=9.362), postoperative pulmonary complications (OR=7.427), poor incision healing (OR=5.330), anastomosis type (OR=2.965), preoperative history of thoracoabdominal surgery (OR=3.181), preoperative diabetes mellitus (OR=2.445), preoperative cardiovascular disease (OR=3.260), preoperative neoadjuvant therapy (OR=2.977), preoperative respiratory disease (OR=4.744), surgery method (OR=4.312), American Society of Anesthesiologists score (OR=2.424) were predictors for AL after esophageal cancer surgery. Conclusion At present, the prediction model of AL risk in patients with esophageal cancer after surgery is in the development stage, and the overall research quality needs to be improved.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of"Siming Acupoint"massage technique in the treatment of true myopia in children and adolescents,and explore the related factors influencing the therapeutic effect.Methods From January 2021 to January 2024,257 cases of children and adolescents with true myopia and 475 eyes treated and followed up at the Pediatric Massage Center of Shandong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were included in this study.And they were divided into the low myopia group(374 eyes),the moderate myopia group(76 eyes)and the high myopia group(25 eyes).The clinical efficacy was analyzed by comparing the observation indicators changes before and after the intervention.The occurrence of ineffective treatment was observed,and the related factors of ineffective treatment were explored by using univariate comparison and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results Clinical results showed that the effective rate of 257 children and 475 eyes was 93.05%;the effective rate of 374 eyes in the low myopia group was 98.13%;the effective rate of 76 eyes in the moderate myopia group was 81.58%;the effective rate of 25 eyes in the high myopia group was 52.00%.The score of visual fatigue symptoms after the intervention was significantly lower than that before the intervention(P<0.001);The naked eye vision after the intervention was significantly higher than that before the intervention(P<0.001);After the intervention,NRA and PRA were significantly enhanced compared with those before the intervention(P all<0.001).Risk factor analysis of ineffectiveness showed that there were 33 eyes in the ineffective group and 442 eyes in the effective group.The proportion of patients with a history of sweet tooth in the ineffective group was significantly higher than that in the effective group(P=0.020);The course of disease in the ineffective group was significantly longer than that in the effective group(P=0.001);And there were also significant differences in the degree of myopia between the two groups,the proportion of high myopia in the ineffective group was significantly higher than that in the effective group(P<0.001);The spherical diopter,equivalent spherical diopter and cylindrical diopter in the ineffective group were all significantly higher than those in the effective group(P all<0.001);The axial length of the eye in the ineffective group was significantly longer than that in the effective group(P=0.005);The naked eye vision before treatment and the corrected naked eye vision at the first treatment in the ineffective group were both worse than those in the effective group(both P<0.001);The proportion of patients with outdoor activities<2 hours/day and the proportion of patients with night sleep time<7 hours/day in the ineffective group were significantly higher than those in the effective group(P=0.022,P=0.012).Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combined outdoor activities<2 hours/day(OR=8.270,P<0.001),equivalent spherical diopter(OR=2.724,P=0.005),and night sleep time<7 hours/day(OR=2.507,P=0.014)were the risk factors for ineffective treatment of true myopia in children and adolescents with"Siming Acupoints"massage technique.The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve for outdoor activities<2 hours/day was 0.603;The area under the curve for equivalent spherical diopter was 0.678;the area under the curve for night sleep time<7 hours/day was 0.667.Conclusion The"Siming Acupoints"massage technique may be able to improve the naked eye vision of patients,improve NRA,PRA and visual fatigue symptoms,and control the growth of axial length and equivalent spherical diopter.Outdoor activities<2 hours/day,equivalent spherical diopter,and night sleep time<7 hours/day are the risk factors for ineffective treatment of true myopia in children and adolescents with"Siming Point"massage technique.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To analyze changes in intestinal microbiota composition and metabolites in mice with nitrous oxide poisoning using 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolomics,and to examine correlations between gut microbes and metabolites in order to explore the mechanisms of nitrous oxide poisoning.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group and a nitrous oxide poisoning group(n=6).The poisoning group was exposed to 90,000 ppm nitrous oxide twice daily for 1 h over 28 days,while the control group was exposed to air.Fecal samples were collected 24 h after the last exposure.16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze structural differences in microbial communities and identify significantly different taxa.Metabolomics analysis was performed to detect changes in fecal metabolites and identify differential metabolites.Correlation analysis was conducted between differential microbiota and metabolites.Results 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the poisoning group had increased microbial abundance compared with controls,while species diversity remained unchanged.Significant differences were observed in gut microbiota structure between groups.Metabolomics identified 112 differential metabolites related to nitrous oxide poisoning,mainly involving the cAMP signaling pathway and sphingolipid metabolism.Spearman correlation analysis revealed a strong association between differential microbiota and differential metabolites.Conclusion Nitrous oxide poisoning alters the structure and metabolic profiles of intestinal microbiota.Changes in microbial abundance affect multiple metabolic pathways,which may be related to damage to the nervous and hematological systems.These findings provide a basis for further research on the mechanisms of nitrous oxide poisoning and for clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the impact of lesions in different nuclei of the subcortical basal ganglia on speech processing functions in patients with post-stroke dysarthria.Methods:From July 2022 to September 2023, a total of 20 patients with post-stroke dysarthria (patient group) and 22 healthy individuals (control group) were recruited. Brain imaging data, including structural magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), as well as behavioral data of speech fluency task and picture association task were collected. Structural MRI data was analyzed using SPM12 software to perform voxel-based morphometry (VBM), measuring cortical thickness and gray matter volume (VGM) in specific nuclei of the basal ganglia. Behavioral metrics, such as reaction time (RT) and the number of valid responses were extracted for each task. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 27.0 and R 4.0 softwares. Spearman correlation analysis was applied to examine relationships between neuroimaging parameters and behavioral performance indicators.Results:The patient group exhibited significantly smaller gray matter volumes in both left and right caudate nuclei((2.69±0.92)mm 3, (3.17±0.91)mm 3 ) and putamen (3.31±1.08)mm 3, (3.66±0.91)mm 3) compared to the control group (caudate nuclei (3.19±0.36)mm 3, (3.49±0.52)mm 3 putamen (4.52±0.54)mm 3, (4.72±0.64)mm 3), with statistically significant differences ( t=-2.83, 1.68; t=-3.59, 3.52, both P<0.05). Behavioral experiments revealed that the patient group exhibited significantly prolonged reaction time during picture association and naming tasks (1 910.50(1 214.25, 3 806.75) ms, 1 362.00(978.00, 2 297.00) ms) compared to the control group (1 618.00(1 162.75, 2 401.75) ms, 1 224.00(984.25, 1 661.50) ms; Z=-5.20, -4.61, both P<0.05). Gray matter volumes in the left caudate nucleus and left putamen exhibited negative correlations with reaction times during the picture naming task ( r=-0.52, -0.54, both P<0.05). Additionally, the gray matter volume of the left putamen demonstrated a positive correlation with the number of valid responses in speech fluency task-T2 ( r=0.46, P<0.05), whereas the left globus pallidus volume showed a negative correlation with speech fluency task-T1 ( r=-0.51, P<0.05) with the same measure. Conclusion:Lesions in the left subnuclei of the basal ganglia directly impair early-stage speech functions, including conceptual preparation and lexical selection, whereas right-side lesions exert less pronounced effects on linguistic performance compared to their left counterparts. Furthermore, the basal ganglia's involvement in higher-order linguistic processing may represent an indirect consequence of cognitive decline.

Objective To investigate the intracranial hemodynamic parameters with transcranial color-coded duplex sonography(TCCS)in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)after endovascular therapy,and analyze their association with functional outcomes.Methods A total of 360 elderly AIS patients undergoing endovascular therapy in our hospital from March 1,2020 to January 31,2024 were prospectively included,and according to the score of modified Rankin scale(mRS)at 90 d,they were divided into a poor function group(mRS score 3-6,145 cases)and good function group(mRS score≤2,215 cases).TCCS was conducted on all the patients in 12 h after endovascular therapy to evaluate intracranial blood flow status.Peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),mean blood flow velocity(MFV),pulsatility index(PI),MFV ratio and PSV ratio,adjusted PSV ratio and adjusted MFV ratio were recorded in all pa-tients.Receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was employed to analyze the value of TCCS parameters in predicting poor functional outcomes,and the AUC values and cut-off values were also analyzed.Results The PSV ratio,MFV ratio,adjusted PSV ratio and adjusted MFV ra-tio were significantly higher in the poor function group than the good function group(P＜0.01).The predictive performance of PSV ratio and MFV ratio were not good enough for poor functional outcome in the AIS patients(AUC＜0.750),while the adjusted PSV ratio and adjusted MFV ratio showed better predictive performance(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score at admission ≥14.00,ASPECT score at admission≥8.00,adjusted PSV ratio＞1.39 and adjusted MFV ratio＞1.40 were independent risk factors for poor functional outcomes in AIS patients(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that combined NIHSS score at admission+ASPECT score at admission showed poor value in predicting poor functional outcome in the AIS(AUC=0.780,95％CI:0.734-0.822),the predictive performance of combination of above two scores+adjusted PSV ratio+adjusted MFV ratio was significantly improved(AUC=0.976,95％CI:0.955-0.989),with higher sensitivity and specificity(Z=8.261,P＜0.01).Conclusion Early TCCS detection in elderly AIS patients after endovascular treatment is an effective method for identifying poor functional outcomes at 90 d,with the advantages of non invasiveness and easy op-eration.And,better predictive performance is obtained when adjusted PSV ratio and adjusted MFV ratio are combined with conventional predictors.

Objective To evaluate the effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)on left ventricular reverse remodeling(LVRR)and outcomes in patients with mixed aortic valve disease(MAVD)and predominant aortic stenosis(AS).Methods Patients undergoing TAVR at our center between January 2020 and December 2022 were enrolled consecutively.Propensity score matching(PSM)(1∶1 ratio)was used to reduce selection bias.Transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)was used to monitor left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and other structural parameters over time.The study outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death and rehospitalization due to cardiovascular causes.Linear mixed-effects models and logistic regression were utilized for comparing echocardiographic changes across groups and identifying independent risk factors for no-LVRR,respectively.Results After PSM,126 patients were included.MAVD group exhibited larger structural parameters(left ventricular end-systolic/end-diastolic diameter and volume,left ventricular mass index)and a lower left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(all P＜0.05).However,more pronounced improvements in left ventricular structure and hemodynamics were observed during follow-up.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the left ventricular mass index(LVMI)was an independent predictor of left ventricular reverse remodeling(LVRR)after TAVR,whereas persistent moderate or greater mitral regurgitation(MR)and paravalvular leak(PVL)significantly reduced the incidence of LVRR.During a median follow-up period of 23 months,a total of 31 endpoint events occurred,and there was no statistically significant difference in long-term prognosis between the two groups(Log-rank P=0.330).Conclusions Compared to patients in the AS group,those in the MAVD group exhibited more severe left ventricular remodeling before TAVR.However,more significant LVRR was observed during postoperative follow-up.Additionally,the long-term prognosis was comparable between the two groups.
