Objective:To explore the movement patterns and factors influencing lung tumors tracked using the M6 cyberknife stereotactic radiotherapy(SRT)system and to provide a reference for the implementation of precise stereotactic radiotherapy for lung tumors.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 29 patients with lung tumors who were treated using x-sight lung tracking technology and the M6 cyberknife SRT system at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute&Hospital,from January 2022 to August 2024.The tumor location and volume,irradiation dose,isodose line,and number of divisions were recorded.Lung tumor location and SPSS 26.0 software were used to analyze the movement amplitude of tumors in the left and right(LFT/RGT,LR)directions,the anterior-posterior(ANT/POS,AP)direction,and the superior-inferior(SUP/INF,SI)direction.The results are expressed as the mean±standard deviation((x)±s)mm,and a t-test was used for inter-group comparisons.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the effects of factors such as age,gender,tumor location(upper and lower lungs),and tumor volume on the amplitudes of the lung tumor movements.Result:The average motion amplitudes in the LR direc-tions,AP direction,and SI direction of the tumor target areas were(3.5±1.8)mm,(5.3±1.7)mm,and(7.3±5.4)mm for the upper lung,based on 19 cases,and(3.1±1.6)mm,(4.5±2.2)mm,and(12.2±4.4)mm for the lower lung,based on 10 cases,respectively.There was a statistic-ally significant difference(P=0.015 3)in the amplitude of movements between the lower and upper lung tumors in the SI direction.The lung tumor movement amplitude in the SI direction was influenced by tumor location(P=0.035),and the movement amplitudes in the LR direc-tions and the AP direction were not related to factors such as gender,age,tumor location,and tumor volume.Conclusions:The lung tumor movement amplitudes for the different locations varied depending on the respiratory movement shown by the patient.In the SI direction,the movement amplitude of the lower lung tumors was greater than that of upper lung tumors,and this was due to tumor location effects.The movement amplitudes of the lower and upper lung tumors were similar in the LR directions and AP directions.Furthermore,movement amplitude was not affected by gender,age,tumor location,and tumor volume.

Objective:To investigate the impact of delayed ileostomy closure (>6 months) on postoperative complications in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) .Methods:Using propensity score matching. Clinical data of UC patients who underwent IPAA and subsequent ileostomy closure at Jinling Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into a routine group (2 to ≤6 months) and a delayed group (>6 months) based on the timing of ileostomy closure. A 1∶1 propensity score matching analysis was performed to compare early (≤30 days) and late (>30 days) postoperative complications between the two groups.Results:A total of 225 UC patients who underwent IPAA and ileostomy closure were included, comprising 129 males (57.3%) and 96 females (42.7%). After propensity score matching, 88 patients were included in the analysis, with 44 patients in each group. There was no significant difference in the overall incidence of early postoperative complications (11.4% vs. 15.9%, P = 0.534) or late postoperative complications (43.2% vs. 43.2%, P = 1.000) between the delayed and routine groups. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in other postoperative complications (all P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Delayed ileostomy closure following IPAA does not significantly increase the risk of postoperative complications in UC patients.

BACKGROUND:Hydroxy safflower yellow A has anti-ischemia,anti-oxidation,anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects.Whether it affects neuronal pyroptosis after glucose-oxygen deprivation/reglucose-reoxygenation is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of hydroxy safflower yellow A on neuronal pyroptosis and its mechanism. METHODS:HT22 cells in logarithmic growth phase were randomly divided into five groups:normal group,model group,hydroxy safflower yellow A group,colivelin group,and colivelin+hydroxy safflower yellow A group.HT22 cells were treated with glucose-oxygen deprivation/reglucose-reoxygenation to establish neuronal pyroptosis model,and then treated with STAT3 agonist Colivelin and hydroxy safflower yellow A.JC-1 probe was employed to assess changes in mitochondrial membrane potential.Reactive oxygen species kit was used to determine the content of reactive oxygen species in cells.GSDMD/TUNEL staining was conducted to observe cell pyroptosis.Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to detect STAT3 and GSDMD protein expression.RT-PCR was utilized for assessing mRNA expression levels of STAT3,NLRP3,and Caspase-1.Western blot assay was utilized to measure the protein expression levels of p-STAT3,NLRP3,GSDMD,Cleaved-caspase-1,and interleukin-1β. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal group,the number of pyroptotic cells increased in HT22 cells in the model group along with a significant increase in protein expression levels of p-STAT3,NLRP3,Cleaved-caspase-1,GSDMD,and interleukin-1β.Compared with the model group,the number of pyroptotic cells reduced,and the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins significantly decreased in the hydroxy safflower yellow A group.(2)In comparison with the model group,pyroptosis worsened in the colivelin group where mitochondrial membrane potential decreased along with elevated reactive oxygen species content and increased mRNA expression levels of STAT3,NLRP3,and Caspase-1,as well as increased protein expression levels of p-STAT3,NLRP3,GSDMD,Cleaved-caspase-1,and interleukin-1β.Compared with the Colivelin group,above indexes were improved in the colivelin+hydroxy safflower yellow A group.These results suggest that hydroxy safflower yellow A plays a neuroprotective role through STAT3 signaling pathway to inhibit HT22 pyroptosis after glucose-oxygen deprivation/reglucose-reoxygenation treatment.

Objective:To explore the digital design and fabrication technology of personalized restorative matrix for dental filling, and to explore the feasibility of direct resin restoration for deep caries lesions in distal neck of mandibular second molar.Methods:For patients with deep caries lesions in the distal neck of the mandibular second molar who visited the Department of Cariology and Endodontology of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from September 2023 to April 2024, after preparing the cavity and gingival retractor, a three-dimensional intraoral scanner was used to obtain three-dimensional data of the patient′s dentition. In the dental restoration computer-aided design software, the inlay function was used to generate the restored tooth morphology. The edge range of the personalized restorative matrix was drawn on the restored model by three-dimensional reverse engineering software to achieve edge sealing effect. The selected edge range data was processed with distal shelling to generate a digital model of a personalized restorative matrix with a thickness of 0.5 mm. A metal three-dimensional printer was used to fabricate the titanium alloy restorative matrix, and its application was completed in 10 clinical cases. The marginal adaptation and retention stability of the personalized restorative matrix were evaluated under a dental microscope, and forming effect evaluation was performed through immediate postoperative periapical radiographs.Results:The preliminary clinical application of the personalized restorative matrix fabricated using digital technology revealed that, in the treatment of 10 affected teeth, rubber dam isolation was successfully ensured, resulting in clinically effective direct resin composite restorations with optimal marginal adaptation and reasonable contours. Immediate postoperative periapical radiographs showed good convexity of the filling body, with no overhangs found. Both marginal adaptation and retention stability met the requirements of clinical treatment.Conclusions:The personalized restorative matrix designed in this study can solve the clinical problems of moisture separation and resin forming in the treatment of deep caries lesions in distal neck of the mandibular second molar, and can achieve stable and reliable adhesive restoration effects.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors leading to the failure of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with colorectal resection.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data of consecutive IBD patients who received colorectal resection under ERAS protocol in Jingling Hospital from January 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed. ERAS failure was defined as prolonged postoperative length of hospital stay, or unplanned reoperation, accidental readmission or death within 30 days after operation. The patients were divided into failed ERAS group and successful ERAS group according to whether the ERAS failed. Univariate and Logistic multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of ERAS failure in IBD patients with colorectal resection.Results:A total of 216 patients were enrolled. There were 65 patients in failed ERAS group and 151 in successful ERAS group. Univariate analysis showed that compared with successful ERAS group, the ratio of body mass index (BMI) <18.5 kg/m 2 (61.5% vs.46.4%, P = 0.041) , the ratio of preoperative nutritional risk screening tools 2002 (NRS-2002) score ≥3 points (69.2% vs. 48.3%, P = 0.005) , the ratio of preoperative modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) = 2 points (30.8% vs. 10.6%, P<0.001) , the ratio of preoperative steroids use within 4 weeks before operation (44.6% vs. 23.8%, P<0.001) , the ratio of neostomy (63.1% vs. 46.4%, P = 0.024) , the ratio of intraoperative infusion volume>3 L (44.6% vs. 21.9%, P = 0.038) were higher in failed ERAS group, while the the ratio of preoperative enteral nutrition was lower (53.8% vs. 68.2%, P = 0.044) . Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative NRS-2002 score ≥3 points ( OR = 2.212, 95% CI: 1.133-4.321, P = 0.020) , mGPS = 2 points ( OR = 3.510, 95% CI: 1.555-7.926, P = 0.003) and preoperative steroids use within 4 weeks before operation ( OR = 2.600, 95% CI: 1.313-5.146, P = 0.006) were the independent risk factors of ERAS failure in IBD patients with colorectal resection. Conclusions:ERAS failure is more likely to occur in IBD patients after colorectal resection with charactertics including preoperative NRS-2002 score ≥3 points, mGPS=2 points, and preoperative steroids use within 4 weeks before operation. Preoperative nutritional preconditioning, perioperative hormone discontinuation, and control of preoperative inflammatory response may promote the successful implementation of ERAS in IBD patients with surgery.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal characteristics of human brucellosis in Henan Province.Methods:Data of human brucellosis in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and a descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the epidemic profile of brucellosis in Henan Province and the three distribution characteristics. Global and local spatial autocorrelation were used to analyze the spatial distribution and the hot spots of brucellosis in Henan Province, respectively, and spatiotemporal scanning was used to analyze the spatiotemporal clustering regions of brucellosis in Henan Province.Results:A total of 39 862 brucellosis cases were reported in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021, with an average annual incidence of 2.44/100 000, and the number of cases showed an overall increasing trend each year (χ 2trend = 11 127.85, P = 0.001). The onset months were mainly concentrated from March to July, accounting for 59.00% (23 517/39 862), with May as the peak (5 478 cases). Cases of brucellosis were reported in 157 counties (cities, districts) of the province. The ratio of male to female was 2.52∶1.00 (28 542/11 320). Farmers were the main occupation, with 32 985 cases (82.75%). The age of onset was mainly 45 to 65 years old, with 20 226 cases (50.74%). The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the global Moran's I was > 0, Z > 1.96, and P < 0.05 in all years except 2006 - 2008, showing spatial clustering. Further local spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed, and high-high and low-low clustering areas existed in 2012 - 2021 ( P < 0.01). Spatiotemporal scanning analysis showed that there was one spatiotemporal cluster in the high incidence area and two spatiotemporal clusters in the low incidence area. The high incidence cluster was centered in Neixiang County, covering 48 counties (cities, districts) including Song County and Ruzhou City, and the aggregation time was from 2014 to 2021. The two low incidence clusters were centered in Yongcheng City and Boai County, covering 58 and 18 counties (cities, districts), respectively, and the aggregation time was 2016 - 2021 and 2005 - 2012, respectively. Conclusion:The overall incidence of brucellosis in Henan Province is on the rise from 2005 to 2021, with middle-aged and elderly male farmers as the main affected population, and there are spatiotemporal clusters of brucellosis in Henan Province.

Objective:To report the first case of sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome caused by severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) in Puyang city, and to study the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of S, M, L fragments of the SFTSV isolate.Methods:The epidemiological characteristics of this case was analyzed with epidemiological methods. SFTSV was isolated from the patient′s serum sample. Nucleic acid of SFTSV was extracted and detected by fluorescent RT-PCR. A multiplex PCR method was constructed to amplify the nucleic acid sequence of the virus. whole-genome sequencing was performed on the next-generation sequencing platform. MEGA11 and DNAStar was used for homology analysis and a phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:Epidemiological investigation showed that the patient and his close contacts had no history of travel or tick bite within 14 d, but had a history of fieldwork. The patient′s serum sample was positive for SFTSV nucleic acid. Genetic analysis showed that the S, M, L gene fragments of the first SFTSV isolate in Puyang belonged to genotype E. This isolate shared 94.8%-99.6%, 94.0%-99.8% and 95.7%-99.7% nucleotide sequence homology with the representative strains acquired from GeneBank in S, M, L gene fragments, respectively.Conclusions:This case was the first case of SFTSV-caused severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Puyang. The SFTSV isolate shared a close homology with domestic isolates, but its genotype was significantly different from the SFTSV strains isolated in Henan in recent years, indicating that it might an imported case from other places in Henan Province or Hubei Province. Disease monitoring and professional training for medical personnel should be strengthened and more attention should be paid to the evolution and mutation of SFTSV.
