Objective To summarize the characteristics of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy(CIPN)in children with acute B-lymphoblast leukemia(B-ALL)and to identify the influencing factors and prognosis of CIPN.Methods The clinical data of 60 children with B-ALL admitted to the 29th Ward of the Department of Hematology and Oncology,Children's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from June 2020 to December 2023 who received chemotherapy and had finished chemotherapy for 6 months were retrospectively reviewed.Results There were 37 cases of B-ALL combined with CIPN;the incidence of CIPN was 61.7% .Increasing age of onset was a risk factor for CIPN in children[OR=1.209,95% CI(1.023-1.428),P=0.026]with the highest incidence of sensory nerve dysfunction(78.4% ).Electromyography indicated that B-ALL combined with CIPN was multiple peripheral neurogenic lesions with certain reversibility.In the induction stage of chemotherapy,13 cases(35.1% )showed CIPN,accounting for the highest proportion.The CIPN improvement rate 6 months after chemotherapy was 67.6%,the age of onset[OR=2.418,95% CI(0.212-2.106),P=0.018]and the severity of CIPN[OR=203.394,95% CI(2.29-18 065.04). P=0.02]were risk factors for poor prognosis of children with CIPN.The older the age of onset was,the higher the severity of CIPN and worse prognosis were found.Conclusions Children with B-ALL complicated with CIPN are reversible multiple peripheral nerve lesions,and the occurrence and outcome of CIPN is potentially related to individual differences of children.

AIM:To investigate the effects of the compound ANBP on wound healing in diabetic rats and ex-plore its mechanism of action.METHODS:Ninety male SD rats were randomly divided into blank,model,compound ANBP,Beifuxin,and nicotinamide mononucleotide(NMN)groups,with 16 rats in each group.Wound healing in each group was observed and samples were taken on days 3,7 and 14 to analyze the wound healing rate.Local histopathological changes were observed using HE and Masson staining.The expressions of pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha 1(PDHA1),citrate synthase(CS),isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH1)and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase(OGDH)were de-tected through immunofluorescence and Western blot.The number and morphology of mitochondria in the wound tissue were observed using transmission electron microscopy.RESULTS:Histomorphological changes revealed significant im-provement in diabetic wound healing in the blank and compound ANBP groups compared to that of the model group.The wound healing rates of the blank,compound ANBP,Beifuxin,and NMN groups were significantly increased on days 3,7,and 14(P<0.01).Compared to the model group,granulation tissue generation was higher in the other groups,cover-ing the wound defect and producing abundant collagen fibers.At 3,7,and 14 days after intervention,the blank,com-pound ANBP,Beifuxin,and NMN groups showed significantly enhanced fluorescence intensities of TCA cycling-related enzymes PDHA1,CS,IDH1,and OGDH indicating increased expression of these enzymes.The levels of the TCA cy-cling-related enzymes were significantly increased(P<0.01)in the compound ANBP,Beifuxin and NMN groups but were significantly decreased(P<0.01)in the model group.An increase in the number and density of mitochondria and a de-crease in the cavitation rate of mitochondria with improved morphology(P<0.05)was observed in the group treated with compound ANBP.CONCLUSION:Compound ANBP may increase the number of mitochondria,improve mitochondrial morphology and function,upregulate the expression levels of PDHA1,CS,IDH1,and OGDH proteins,and accelerate the regeneration of wound granulation tissue,thus promoting the healing of diabetic wounds in rats.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score and screw loosening after dynamic pedicle screw fixation with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods, and evaluate its predictive value.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the patients who underwent dynamic pedicle screw fixation with PEEK rods from March 2017 to June 2022. Data on age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia history, long-term smoking, alcohol consumption, VBQ score, L1–4 average Hounsfield unit (HU) value, surgical fixation length, and the lowest instrumented vertebra were collected. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between VBQ score and pedicle screw loosening (PSL).
Results:
A total of 24 patients experienced PSL after surgery (20.5%). PSL group and non-PSL group showed statistical differences in age, number of fixed segments, fixation to the sacrum, L1–4 average HU value, and VBQ score (p < 0.05). The VBQ score in the PSL group was higher than that in the non-PSL group (3.56 ± 0.45 vs. 2.77 ± 0.31, p < 0.001). In logistic regression analysis, VBQ score (odds ratio, 3.425; 95% confidence interval, 1.552–8.279) were identified as independent risk factors for screw loosening. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for VBQ score predicting PSL was 0.819 (p < 0.05), with the optimal threshold of 3.15 (sensitivity, 83.1%; specificity, 80.5%).
Conclusion
The VBQ score can independently predict postoperative screw loosening in patients undergoing lumbar dynamic pedicle screw fixation with PEEK rods, and its predictive value is comparable to HU value.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on vital signs during recovery from general anesthesia in gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery and analysis of risk factors for complications.Methods:A total of 80 gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery who received treatment in Lishui People's Hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 40/group). All patients were subjected to general anesthesia. The observation group was infused with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine intravenously 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia and then infused with dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.2 μg/kg per hour until 20-30 minutes before the end of the operation. The control group was identically given 0.9% normal saline. The recovery quality, vital signs before surgery and during recovery from general anesthesia (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature), and complications during recovery from general anesthesia were compared between the two groups. These patients were divided into a complication group and a non-complication group according to whether there were complications during recovery from general anesthesia. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the high-risk factors for complications occurring during recovery from general anesthesia in gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery. Results:The time to awaken, time to recover spontaneous respiration, and time to extubation in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( t = 3.74, 2.97, 2.56, all P < 0.05). Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate measured during recovery from general anesthesia were significantly lower in the observation group compared with the control group ( t = 5.71, 4.53, 4.53, all P < 0.001). Body temperature ( t = 4.40, P < 0.001) and the incidence of complications ( χ2 = 5.69, P < 0.05) were significantly lower in the observation group compared with the control group. These patients were divided into complication ( n = 22) and non-complication ( n = 58) groups according to whether they had complications during recovery from general anesthesia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that American Association of Anesthesiologists grade II, presence of underlying diseases, abnormal leukocyte count, and no use of dexmedetomidine were the risk factors for postoperative complications in gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery ( OR = 2.38, 2.86, 2.17, 3.60, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Dexmedetomidine can improve awakening quality and vital signs and reduce complications during recovery from general anesthesia. American Association of Anesthesiologists grade, underlying disease, abnormal white blood cell count, and no use of dexmedetomidine are the risk factors for complications occurring during recovery from general anesthesia in gynecological patients undergoing general anesthesia surgery.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. The key to the prognosis of breast cancer lies in early diagnosis and early treatment.At present, the early diagnosis of breast cancer mainly relies on imaging methods, and there has been a lack of clinical methods for early diagnosis of it.Exosome are small molecules selectively released from breast cancer cells to the peripheral circulation for a certain period of time. miRNA contained in them are short, non-coding regulatory RNA, which can bind to the 3′UTR region of target genes and regulate the post-transcriptional expression of target genes. Exogenous miRNA can affect the development of breast cancer, It can provide a variety of information indicating the presence of breast cancer cells, clinical staging, molecular typing and other information, which may be put into clinical application in the future as an ideal marker for the early diagnosis of breast cancer.This article reviews the research and application of exogenous miRNA in early diagnosis of breast cancer.

A novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) epidemic has occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province since December 2019, caused by a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) never been seen previously in human. China has imposed the strictest quarantine and closed management measures in history to control the spreading of the disease. However, severe trauma can still occur in the NCP patients. In order to standardize the emergency treatment and the infection prevention and control of severe trauma patients with hidden infection, suspected or confirmed infection of 2019-nCoV, Trauma Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Doctors' Association organized this expert consensus. The consensus illustrated the classification of the NCP patients, severe trauma patients in need of emergency surgery, emergency surgery type, hierarchical protection for medical personnel and treatment places. Meanwhile, the consensus standardized the screening, injury severity evaluation, emergency surgical treatment strategy and postoperative management strategy of severe trauma patients during the epidemic period of NCP, providing a basis for the clinical treatment of such kind of patients.
