A major impedance to neuronal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury(PNI)is the activation of various programmed cell death mechanisms in the dorsal root ganglion.Ferroptosis is a form of pro-grammed cell death distinguished by imbalance in iron and thiol metabolism,leading to lethal lipid peroxidation.However,the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in the context of PNI and nerve regeneration remain unclear.Ferroportin(Fpn),the only known mammalian nonheme iron export protein,plays a pivotal part in inhibiting ferroptosis by maintaining intracellular iron homeostasis.Here,we explored in vitro and in vivo the involvement of Fpn in neuronal ferroptosis.We first delineated that reactive oxygen species at the injury site induces neuronal ferroptosis by increasing intracellular iron via accelerated UBA52-driven ubiquitination and degradation of Fpn,and stimulation of lipid peroxidation.Early administration of the potent arterial vasodilator,hydralazine(HYD),decreases the ubiquitination of Fpn after PNI by binding to UBA52,leading to suppression of neuronal cell death and significant ac-celeration of axon regeneration and motor function recovery.HYD targeting of ferroptosis is a promising strategy for clinical management of PNI.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of different modes of ankle pump exercise on femoral vein peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheter-related thrombosis in patients with lung cancer.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 96 cases of lung cancer patients with femoral vein PICC catheterization admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to October 2020 were set as the control group and 97 cases of lung cancer patients with femoral vein PICC cannula from October 2020 to October 2021 were set as the observation group. They adopted the comfort angle ankle pump exercise and the maximum angle ankle pump exercise mode, respectively. The differences in the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis, the incidence of unplanned extubation, fatigue score and catheter indwelling time were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and unplanned extubation in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The fatigue score and catheter indwelling time of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The maximum angle ankle pump motion mode can reduce the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and unplanned extubation of femoral vein PICC catheterization in patients with lung cancer and improve the catheter indwelling time, but it is easy to cause patient fatigue, so clinical promotion and use should consider the patients' tolerance.

Objective To explore the effect of single level lumbar disc herniation on the morphology and diameter of sciatic nerve,and to identify the correlation between the diameter change in sciatic nerve and severity of clinical symptoms,as well as the prognosis of surgical treatment in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods From January 1,2017 to December 31,2017,Seventy lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients who underwent single-level posterior lumbar spine surgery were recruited in this retrospective analysis study.Specific data including age,gender,the level of a disc herniation,the type of disc herniation,symptomatic side,surgical procedure were recorded respectively.In addition the morphological changes and the diameter of bilateral sciatic nerve were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively by B-mode ultrasound.Furthermore,the pain in patients and neurological function were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS,back pain and leg pain),Japanese orthopaedic association scores-lumbar (JOA) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).The correlation between the diameter of sciatic nerve and clinical features,as well as clinical prognosis of patients were identified in the present study.Results For patients with acute lumbar disc herniation,the diameter of sciatic nerve in affected side was 5.19±1.03 ram,which is significantly higher than that in the unaffected side (4.57±0.64 mm,t=6.735,P=0.000).In addition,preoperative ratio of the affected side to the healthy side of the sciatic nerve showed strong correlation with the VAS of leg pain (r=0.838,P=0.001),JOA (r=-0.857,P=0.001),and ODI score(r=0.881,P=0.000),but not with the VAS of back pain (r=-0.061,P=0.614).Three months after surgery,the diameter of sciatic nerve in the affected side decreased to 4.58±0.63 mm (t=6.865,P=0.000),while the unaffected side showed no significant change(t=0.300,P=0.765).Clinical improvement was observed in all the patients postoperatively.The changes in the diameter of sciatic nerve postoperatively in affected side showed strong correlation to the rate of improvement in VAS of leg (r=0.624,P=0.003),JOA(r=0.615,P=0.003) and ODI scores (r=0.722,P=0.002),but not to the rate of improvement in VAS of back (r=-0.025,P=0.836).Conclusion Single root compression in patients with single level disc herniation might cause morphological changes such as thickening and edema in sciatic nerve,which were closely related to the severity of clinical symptoms and the prognosis of surgical treatment.

Objective To explore the prevalence and clinical characteristics of food allergy in bronchial asth-matic children less than 14 years old in China. Methods A case - controlled study was designed. The questionnaires were given to children,who were diagnosed to be asthmatic during the national epidemiological survey of asthma in chil-dren in 31 cities from September 2009 to August 2010. Non - asthmatic children,matched with the cases in age and gender,were selected during the same survey as control subjects if they were matched with the cases in age and sex. In-formation regarding the food allergen and symptom of food - induced anaphylaxis was analyzed. The difference in food allergy was compared between children with or without bronchial asthma. Results As a result,9235 asthmatic children and 11391 control subjects were enrolled in the case - control study. There were 14. 66％(1354 / 9235 cases)of the asthmatic children who had food allergy,compared to 3. 99％(455 / 11391 cases)of the non - asthmatics children, and the findings showed a significant difference (χ2 = 725. 25,P < 0. 001). The most common food allergens were fish and shrimp in both groups,and the difference was not significant [44. 09％ (597 / 1354 cases)vs. 42. 20％ (192 / 455 cases),χ2 = 0. 50,P > 0. 05]. The rate of peanut allergy was 4. 58％ (62 / 1354 cases)and 1. 54％ (7 / 455 cases) (χ2 = 8. 58,P < 0. 05),respectively. And the rates of fruit allergy in the asthmatic group and the non - asthmatic group were 14. 03％(190 / 1354 cases)and 27. 69％(126 / 455 cases)(χ2 = 44. 01,P < 0. 05),respectively. Cutaneous and nasal symptoms were common clinical manifestations. The rates of rash,pruritus,and swelling sympions were 47. 27％(640 / 1354 cases)and 61. 32％(279 / 455 cases)(χ2 = 26. 90,P < 0. 001),respectively for asthmatic group and non -asthmatic group. Rates of nasal symptoms were 17. 13％(232 / 1354 cases)and 10. 55％(48 / 455 cases)(χ2 = 11. 29, P = 0. 001),respectively in the asthmatic group and the non - asthmatic groups. Respiratory symptoms,such as cough and wheezing,were 25. 33％(343 / 1354 cases)and 5. 49％(25 / 455 cases)(χ2 = 80. 72,P < 0. 001)in 2 groups. Twenty cases of 1354 asthmatic children had severe food allergy,while such severe conditions occurred only 1 child without asthma (455 cases)occurred severe condition (1. 48％ vs. 0. 22％,χ2 = 4. 96,P < 0. 05). Conclusion The-rate of food allergen sensitization is highly prevalent in the children with asthma. Compared to those without asthma, and their types of food allergen and clinical symptoms are different from the latter.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, toxicity and cosmetic outcomes of hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT-SIB) after breast conservative surgery (BCS) for early breast cancer patients. Methods: A total of 76 patients with stage TisT_1-2N₀M₀ breast cancer treated with BCS were enrolled in the analysis. The patients who underwent breast radiotherapy without regional lymph node irridiation and hypo fractionated IMRT/VMAT were used. All patients received whole breast IMRT/VMAT with tumor bed SIB. The doses delivered to the whole breast was 42.4 Gy in 16 fractions, and the dose delivered to tumor bed for SIB was 49.6 Gy in 16 fractions. Cosmetic evaluation was based on the Harvard system. Acute and late toxicities were scored according to CACAT version 3.0. Survival and recurrence rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. The univariate and multivariate analysis were conducted with logistic regression. Results: The median follow-up was 29 months (range 16-40 months). The follow-up rate was 100%. The 1-, 2-and 3-year overall survival rates were 100%. No recurrence or metastasis was observed in this study. The incidence of grade 1 acute skin toxicity was 68.4%, grade 2 was 7.9%. The late skin toxicity of grade 1 was 13.1%, grade 2 was 2.6%.In all, 82.4% of patients had excellent and good cosmetic outcome. The Mean dose of the tumor bed was predictive factor for grade 2 dermatitis. Conclusion: The efficacy, cosmetic effect, the acute and late treatment-related toxicity of hypofractionated IMRT/VMAT-SIB in patients with early breast cancer following BCS might be acceptable. A longer follow-up is needed to define the efficacy on outcomes. Trial registration Chinese clinical trial registry, ChiCTR1800016287

Objective The purpose of this study is to estimate the body height of Sichuan Hans population by CT-VRT images of clavicle and to update the data of Stature estimation. Methods Three hundred individual CT-VRT images of clavicle were selected. The length of both side clavicles was measured and then the average clavicle length (ACL),the left clavicle length(LCL),the right clavicle length(RCL)was calculated as independent variable to establish the regression equations. The gender difference was tested by ANOVA and the correlation between the clavicle and the body height was tested by Pearson. Result The correlation between the ACL, LCL, RCL and the body height was normal in both genders (0.534 in male ACL and 0.707in female ACL; 0.484 in male LCL, 0.680in femaleLCL;0.523 in male RCL, 0.695 in female RCL). The test of accuracy showed MAD=4.48cm in the male ACL simple linear regression model and MAD=3.51cm in the female ACL simple linear regression model; MAD=4.60cm in the male LCL model, MAD=3.64cm in the female LCL simple linear regression model; MAD=4.49cm in the male RCL model, MAD=3.59cm in the female RCL model. Conclusion The regression equations derided from clavicle on the basis of CT-VRT images in this study can be used to estimate stature for Sichuan Hans population. But the R2 values were small, so it's better to combine other bone for stature estimation.

Objective To investigate the effects of Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training combined with drop foot stimulator on gait function in patients with stroke. Methods Thirty-six stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n=18) and observation group (n=18). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training. The control group accepted Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training, while the ob-servation group worn drop foot stimulator in addition. The training intensity was 30 minutes every day, five days per week for 6 weeks. Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-LL), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) and footprint analysis were used to evaluate the motor ability of lower limbs, walking ability and gait before and after training. Results There was no significant difference in the scores of FMA-LL, FAC and gait parameters (walking speed, stride width, stride length difference) before training (t<0.765, Z=0, P>0.05). The scores of FMA-LL, FAC and walking speed improved, and the stride width and stride length difference decreased after training (t>2.190, Z>3.630, P<0.05). After training, the scores of FMA-LL, FAC, walking speed and stride length difference were better in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.030, Z=-2.560, P<0.05), however, there was no significant difference in stride width between two groups (t=0.570, P>0.05). Conclusion Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training combined with foot drop stimulator could improve the lower limb motor func-tion and gait ability in patients with stroke, and the effect might be better than using Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training only.
