Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and the efficacy of thrombus aspiration in patients with early intrastent thrombosis (EST) following carotid artery stenting (CAS).Methods:This study is a retrospective case series, collecting clinical data of five patients who developed EST after CAS in the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to September 2023.All patients were male, with an age of (64.0±11.9) years (range:48 to 77 years), accounting for 2.0% (5/244) of CAS procedures during the same period.Among them, three patients did not receive standard dual antiplatelet therapy before the procedure, and one had an inadequate ADP inhibition rate (45.6%).Four patients received XACT carotid stents, while one received a Wallstent carotid stent.All five patients showed significant residual stenosis ranging from 43% to 55% after CAS.Emergency thrombus aspiration was performed in all cases, and data regarding perioperative conditions, vascular patency, and clinical outcomes were collected.Results:The interval between CAS and the occurrence of EST ranged from 3 hours to 14 days.The main clinical symptoms included sudden onset of consciousness disorders and contralateral limb weakness.None of the patients received preoperative intravenous thrombolysis, and thrombus aspiration was performed during the procedure to restore vascular patency.Four cases underwent balloon angioplasty during the procedure, and two cases utilized overlapping stents.Two patients experienced intraoperative embolization of thrombus to the C 2 segment.In one case, the embolized thrombus was retrieved using an intracranial thrombectomy stent, while in another case, it was aspirated using a guiding catheter.Postoperatively, all patients had a thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade of 3, and symptoms improved in four cases.One patient showed no improvement in symptoms, and MRI revealed extensive new infarction in the right frontal and insular regions, adjacent to the right lateral ventricle.Regular follow-up examinations after discharge did not reveal restenosis or embolism within the stent.The follow-up period ranged from 7.6 to 21.2 months, with modified Rankin scale scores of 0 to 1 point in four cases and 2 points in one case, indicating good recovery in all patients. Conclusions:Acute intrastent thrombosis is a rare complication after carotid artery stenting.The combined use of percutaneous thrombus aspiration and endovascular techniques, such as balloon angioplasty and stent overlapping, can rapidly restore vessel patency with favorable outcomes.However, further large-scale clinical studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of these treatments for acute intrastent thrombosis.

Apnoeic oxygenation(AO)is the uptake of oxygen from the lungs by the patient's blood to maintain oxygenation in the absence of spontaneous breathing or mechanical positive pressure ventilation.During the administration of general anesthesia,the use of AO prolongs the patient's safe apnea time on top of preoxygenation before voluntary respiration ceases after induction and a safe airway is established,which may reduce the number of attempts at endotracheal intubation,and decrease the incidence of airway injury,hypoxemia,and hemodynamic decompensation.Over the past decade,more and more AO techniques have been applied in different clinical settings,such as perioperative airway management and"tube-free anesthe-sia".In order to deepen the understanding of AO and its applications,this article reviews the latest research progress on the mechanism,method and clinical application of AO for clinical applications provide refer-ence.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between 1p/16q loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and 1p gain in Wilms tumor and their clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis.Methods:A total of 175 Wilms tumor samples received from the Department of Pathology, Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2019 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The histopathologic type and presence of lymph node involvement were evaluated by two pathologists. The clinical data including patients′gender, age, tumor location, preoperative chemotherapy, and tumor stage were summarized. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was done to detect 1p/16q LOH and 1p gain and their correlation with the clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Among the 175 samples, 86 cases (49.1%) were male and 89 (50.9%) were female. The mean age was (3.5±2.9) years, and the median age was 2.6 years. There were 26 (14.9%) cases with 1p LOH, 28 (16.0%) cases with 16q LOH, 10 (5.7%) cases of LOH at both 1p and 16q, and 53 (30.3%) cases with 1q gain. 1q gain was significantly associated with 1p LOH ( P<0.01) and 16q LOH ( P<0.01). There were significant differences ( P<0.01) between 1q gain, 1p LOH and 16q LOH among different age groups. The rate of 16q LOH in the high-risk histopathological subtype (50.0%) was significantly higher than that in the intermediate-risk subtype (13.6%, P<0.05). The frequency of 1q gain, 1p LOH, and 16q LOH in children with advanced clinical stages (Ⅲ and Ⅳ) was significantly higher than that in children with early clinical stages (Ⅰ and Ⅱ). 1q gain, 1p LOH, and 16q LOH showed no significant correlation with gender, unilateral or bilateral disease, chemotherapy, or lymph node metastasis. The progression-free survival (PFS) time for patients with 1q gain and 1p LOH was significantly shorter than those without these aberrations ( P<0.05). Additionally, the PFS time of patients with 16q LOH was slightly shorter than those with normal 16q, although the difference was not statistically significant. Patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ disease exhibiting 1q gain or 1p LOH had a significantly higher relative risk of recurrence, metastasis, and mortality. Conclusions:1p/16q LOH and 1q gain are associated with age, high-risk histological type, and clinical stage in Wilms tumor. 1q gain and 1p LOH are significantly correlated with the prognosis of Wilms tumor.

BACKGROUND: Red-cell transfusion is critical for surgery during the peri-operative period; however, the transfusion threshold remains controversial mainly owing to the diversity among patients. The patient's medical status should be evaluated before making a transfusion decision. Herein, we developed an individualized transfusion strategy using the West-China-Liu's Score based on the physiology of oxygen delivery/consumption balance and designed an open-label, multicenter, randomized clinical trial to verify whether it reduced red cell requirement as compared with that associated with restrictive and liberal strategies safely and effectively, providing valid evidence for peri-operative transfusion. METHODS: Patients aged >14 years undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery with estimated blood loss > 1000 mL or 20% blood volume and hemoglobin concentration <10 g/dL were randomly assigned to an individualized strategy, a restrictive strategy following China's guideline or a liberal strategy with a transfusion threshold of hemoglobin concentration <9.5 g/dL. We evaluated two primary outcomes: the proportion of patients who received red blood cells (superiority test) and a composite of in-hospital complications and all-cause mortality by day 30 (non-inferiority test). RESULTS: We enrolled 1182 patients: 379, 419, and 384 received individualized, restrictive, and liberal strategies, respectively. Approximately 30.6% (116/379) of patients in the individualized strategy received a red-cell transfusion, less than 62.5% (262/419) in the restrictive strategy (absolute risk difference, 31.92%; 97.5% confidence interval [CI]: 24.42-39.42%; odds ratio, 3.78%; 97.5% CI: 2.70-5.30%; P <0.001), and 89.8% (345/384) in the liberal strategy (absolute risk difference, 59.24%; 97.5% CI: 52.91-65.57%; odds ratio, 20.06; 97.5% CI: 12.74-31.57; P <0.001). No statistically significant differences were found in the composite of in-hospital complications and mortality by day 30 among the three strategies. CONCLUSION: The individualized red-cell transfusion strategy using the West-China-Liu's Score reduced red-cell transfusion without increasing in-hospital complications and mortality by day 30 when compared with restrictive and liberal strategies in elective non-cardiac surgeries.

Objective : To study the neuropathological changes and process brain astrocyte microglia and neuron injury in rats at different time after mild blast-related traumatic brain injury(bTBI), and to investigate the neuroprotective potential of dietary supplementation with fish oil on mild bTBI rats. Methods : 54 newly weaned SD rats were randomly divided into control group(n=18), model group(n=18) and treatment group(n=18). The model group and treatment group were fed with ordinary diet and oil-rich diet for 33 days to establish the mild bTBI model by shock wave, respectively. The control group rats were fed with ordinary diet without shock wave injury. Results : Compared with control group, the weight of rats in the model group and treatment group decreased to a certain extent within 2 days after injury, and then recovered to the level before injury. After bTBI injury for 6 h, 24 h and 3 d, the number of GFAP positive staining astrocytes and vertebral cells in hippocampal area decreased in both model group and treatment group, whereas the number of activated microglia and apoptotic neurons in the hippocampus increased in a time-dependent manner in model group and treatment group. In addition, compared with the model group, the treatment group with oil-rich diet increased the number of astrocytes and pyramidal cells in the hippocampus after injury, and decreased the number of activated microglia and apoptotic neurons in the lesions area. Conclusion Pre-injury dietary supplementation with fish oil shows neuroprotective benefits in alleviating neurons injury and inhibiting neuroinflammatory response in a rat model of mild bTBI.

OBJECTIVE： To mine and evaluate the post-marketing safety alert signals of pegaspargase （PEG-ASP） and L-asparaginase （L-ASP），and compare the safety differences between them ，so as to provide reference for clinical safe and rational drug use. METHODS ： The adverse drug event （ADE） reports of PEG-ASP and L-ASP issued by FDA adverse event reporting system from Jan. 1st，2004-Jun. 30th，2020 were retrieved. BCPNN method was used to mine the safety signals of these two drugs under the condition that the lower limit of information component （IC－2SD）＞0 and the number of events ≥3. The medium and strong signals of two drugs with IC －2SD≥1.5 were evaluated and compared in 8 system organ class，such as gastrointestinal system ，hepatobiliary system ，blood and lymphatic system ，blood vessels and lymphatic vessels ， nervous system ，immune system ，metabolism and nutrition ，various examinations. IC value of specific ADE signal and its 95％ confidence interval were analyzed by time scanning spectrum. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：The reports of PEG-ASP and L-ASP as suspected drugs were 2 324 and 3 824；67 and 68 medium and strong signals were included ，respectively. In gastrointestinal system，the common strong signal of PEG-ASP and L-ASP was necrotic pancreatitis. In hepatobiliary system ，both of them showed strong signal in venoocclusive liver disease ，and this ADE was not included in the drug instruction. In blood and lymphatic system ， common strong signals of the two drugs were febrile neutropenia ，coagulation disorder ，neutropenia and febrile bone marrow regeneration disorder ；in blood vessels and lymphatic vessels ，in addition to haemodynamic instability ，IC values of other signals of L-ASP were higher than those of PEG-ASP. In nervous system ，IC values of other signals of L-ASP were higher than those of PEG-ASP except for intracranial haemorrhage. In immune system ，anaphylactic reaction was a medium signal for L-ASP but was a strong signal for PEG-ASP. In metabolism and nutritional diseases ，except for tumor lysis syndrome ，IC values of other signals of L-ASP were higher than those of PEG-ASP. The results of time scanning spectrum showed that the signals of necrotic pancreatitis and coagulation disorder of PEG-ASP were stable ，while the signals of veno occlusive liver disease and hypersensitivity were unstable and needed to be observed ；above four signals of L-ASP were stable signals. When using PEG-ASP or L-ASP clinically ， close attention should be paid to the safety problems such as hypersensitivity ，coagulation disorder ，thrombosis，necrotic pancreatitis，venoocclusive liver disease and hypoproteinemia.

Objective:To explore the surgical indications, techniques and methods of closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile C2 and C3, and evaluate the clinical efficacy.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the data of 20 cases with Tile C2 and C3 pelvic fractures treated with closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation from January 2016 to July 2019. There were 7 males and 13 female, with an average age of 35.6±14.6 years (range 12-60 years). The time from injury to operation was 5-30 d, with an average of 19.3±7.1 d. Tile classification of pelvic fracture: 13 cases of C2 type and 7 cases of C3 Type. 2 cases were complicated with ipsilateral or bilateral lumbosacral nerve injury. Classification of nerve injury: 2 cases were partial injury, British Medical Research Council (BMRC) Grade M3. The operation is treated with closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation. First, the side with obvious displacement is fixed on the operating table with a pelvic reduction frame, and the side with less displacement is traction. After reduction, insert S 1 and S 2 sacroiliac screw guide-pin on this side to the contralateral sacral fracture. And then change the traction, fix the reset side on the operating table, change the side with obvious traction displacement, after the reset is ideal, pass the inserted guide-pin through the contralateral sacroiliac joint to the outer iliactable. Then insert the sacroiliac screw. The patients complicated with acetabular fracture were reduced and fixed by the corresponding approach, and the anterior ring was fixed by INFIX. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative complications were recorded. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by Matta's criteria, and the clinical effect was evaluated by Majeed score. Results:All the 20 patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 105-210 min, with an average of 167.00±31.21 min. The intraoperative bleeding volume was 30-100 ml, with an average of 82.00±5.36 ml. Postoperative X-ray and CT showed that the fracture was reduced and fixed. According to the Matta's criteria, the reduction quality was rated as excellent in 14 cases, good in 4 case, fair in 2 case, with an excellent and good rate of 90%. Two patients showed symptoms of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury without other complications related to surgery. Follow-up for 1 to 4 years, the fractures healed, and the healing time was 6 to 12 weeks. According to the Majeed score, the result was rated as excellent in 18 cases, good in 2 case, with an excellent and good rate of 100%.Conclusion:Closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures of type C2 and C3, with the characteristics of less damage and good results, will become a trend in the treatment of pelvic fractures.

Objective:To investigate the contamination status of SARS-CoV-2 in imported frozen seafood from a Russia cargo ship in Qingdao and to analyze the risk factors for infection in local stevedores.Methods:The method of "two-stage, full coverage and mixed sampling" was used to collect the seafood packaging samples for the nucleic acid detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. A unified questionnaire was designed to investigate 71 stevedores in two shifts through telephone interview. The stevedores were divided into two groups, with 23 in the shit with two infections was group A and 48 in the shift without infection was group B. Software Epi Info7.2 was used to identify the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infections in the stevedores.Results:In the frozen seafood from a Russia cargo ship, the total positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in the frozen seafood was 11.53% (106/919). The positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in the frozen seafood unloaded by group A (14.29%,70/490) was significantly higher than that in the frozen seafood unloaded by group B (8.39%,36/429)( χ2=7.79, P=0.01) and the viral loads detected in the frozen seafood unloaded by group A were higher than those detected in the frozen seafood unloaded by group B. The scores of personal protection and behaviors in the stevedores in group A were significantly lower than those in group B ( P<0.05), and toilet use, smoking and improper hand washing before meals were the risk factors for the infection. Conclusions:The imported frozen seafood was contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 and the contamination distribution was uneven. Supervision and management of personal occupational protection and behaviors of workers engaged in imported frozen food transportation should be strengthened. It is suggested that a closed-loop monitoring and management system for the whole process of "fishing-transport- loading/unloading" should be established by marine fishery authority.

Objective:To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) in the management of nosocomial infection, and provide reference for the effective prevention and control of nosocomial infection.Methods:Using FMEA to identify, analyze, evaluate and screen out the high-risk events of nosocomial infection in January 2020, from which two hospital level priority improvement projects of hand hygiene compliance and blood-borne occupational exposure were determined. After risk control and intervention measures, the effects before and after improvement were compared.Results:Except for the lack of incentive mechanism and insufficient communication between medical and nursing teams, the differences in hand hygiene compliance and blood-borne occupational exposure risk priority coefficients before and after the implementation of FMEA were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the implementation of FMEA, the hand hygiene compliance was 74.92% (79375/105953) , which was significantly higher than 68.40% (58361/85328) before the implementation of FMEA, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=996.55, P<0.01) . The incidence of blood-borne occupational exposure after the implementation of FMEA was 3.85% (80/2080) , which was lower than the 6.16% (123/1998) before the implementation of FMEA, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=11.49, P<0.01) . Conclusion:FMEA has a good effect in nosocomial infection management. It can identify and evaluate the risk of nosocomial infection prospectively, so as to control the risk effectively.
