Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of omphalocele, and to assess the risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 224 patients diagnosed with omphalocele, who were hospitalized at Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2013 to December 2022, were collected. Based on their discharge outcomes, the patients were classified into 2 groups: favorable outcomes and unfavorable outcomes. Chi-square test or continuity correction χ2 test or Fisher exact probability method, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for intergroup comparisons. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes in omphalocele. Results:Among the 224 patients with omphalocele, 126 were male. A total of 208 patients (92.9%) had favorable outcomes, while 16 patients (7.1%) had unfavorable outcomes. In the unfavorable outcomes group, 14 patients had giant omphaloceles, while 100 patients had giant omphaloceles in the favorable outcomes group. The rates of herniation of more than two intra-abdominal organs in the hernial sac, congenital heart defects, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, sepsis and infection of the hernial sac, were all higher in the unfavorable outcomes group compared to the favorable outcomes group (all P<0.05). Patients with unfavorable outcomes had longer mechanical ventilation time, duration of oxygen use, duration of parenteral nutrition, hospital stays, and higher rates of parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis compared to those with favorable outcomes (all P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that pulmonary hypertension ( OR=9.39, 95% CI 1.20-73.32), sepsis ( OR=8.59, 95% CI 1.32-55.86), and congenital heart defects ( OR=6.55, 95% CI 1.11-38.73) were all independent risk factors for adverse outcomes in omphalocele (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Infants with omphalocele are prone to complications such as cardiovascular malformations, infections, and pulmonary hypertension. Adverse outcomes in omphalocele are associated with pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, and congenital heart defects.

Objective To analyze and compare the clinical efficacy of CalliSpheres drug-eluting micro-spheres and blank microspheres in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer by bronchial arterial chemoembolization.Methods Fifty patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who had failed or relapsed after radiotherapy,chemotherapy,targeting and immunotherapy were collected and treated with super-selective bronchial artery chemoembolization.A retrospective analysis was conducted to compare the tumor response rate and survival between CalliSpheres drug-eluting and blank microspheres.Results The PR,ORR and DCR in the drug-eluted microsphere group were higher than those in the blank microsphere group,and there was a statistical difference in DCR between the two groups 1 month after surgery(χ2 = 4.08,P = 0.04).PD in the drug-eluted microsphere group was lower than that in the blank microsphere group.The CEA,CYF and SCC in the drug-eluted microsphere group after surgery were lower than those in the blank microsphere group,and the CEA,CYF and SCC in the two groups after surgery were lower than those before surgery,and there were statistical differences in CEA and CYF 1 month after surgery between the two groups.The PFS and OS in drug-eluted microsphere group were higher than those in blank microsphere group.Conclusion CalliSpheres drug-eluting microspheres could improve the effective rate of tumor treatment and prolong the survival time more effectively than the blank micro-spheres via arterial chemoembolization,providing reliable clinical practice basis for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective In this study,Knoevenagel derivatives of curcumin were synthesized,and their oil-water partition coefficient were determined.Our aim is to provide an experimental basis for further development of curcumin derivatives.Methods Two Knoevenagel derivatives of curcumin,including 4-(thiophen-2-ylidene)curcumin(3a)and 4-(pyridine-4-ylidene)curcumin(3b),were obtained by using the methylene group of curcumin as the modification site and purified by column chromatography.The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR),infrared(IR)and high-resolution liquid mass spectrometry(HRLC-MS).The oil-water partition coefficient of the derivatives in n-octanol aqueous solution was determined by quantitative analysis using HPLC.Results Knoevenagel derivatives of curcumin were successfully synthesis.The oil-water partition coefficients(lgPap)of curcumin derivatives 3a and 3b are 0.96 and 0.82,respectively.Compared with the oil-water partition coefficient of curcumin(lgPap=3.85),it suggested that curcumin derivatives showed better water solubility than curcumin.Conclusion Compared to the curcumin prototype,Knoevenagel derivatives of curcumin increased water solubility and improved bioavailability.Thus,it may provide experimental basis for introducing heteroarylene moiety of the methylene position of curcumin to enhance pharmacological activity.

Objective:To investigate the effects of anterolateral femoral perforator flaps pedicled with oblique branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery and carrying fascia lata in repairing destructive wounds and rebuilding function of hands or feet.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2022 to March 2023, 16 patients with destructive wounds in hands or feet combined with extensor tendon defects who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital, including 12 males and 4 females, aged 3 to 63 years. The wounds were located on the hands in 12 cases and on the feet in 4 cases. The number of defective extensor tendon ranged one to five, and the length of the defect ranged from 2.5 to 6.0 cm. The wound area was 11.0 cm×5.5 cm to 29.0 cm×9.5 cm after debridement. The wounds were repaired with anterolateral femoral perforator flaps pedicled with oblique branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery and carrying fascia lata, and the flap area was 12.0 cm×6.5 cm to 30.0 cm×11.0 cm. The fascia lata was used to repair the extensor tendon defects, and the harvesting area of fascia lata was 8.0 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×8.0 cm. The wounds in flap donor areas in 15 patients were sutured directly, and the wound in flap donor area in 1 patient was covered with medium-thickness skin graft from lower abdomen. The survival of flaps and the wound healing in donor and recipient areas of flaps were observed within 1 week after operation. The number of patients who underwent thinning and plastic surgery or tenolysis was recorded during postoperative follow-up. At the last follow-up, the recovery of sensory function of the transplanted flaps on hands or feet was evaluated, the efficacy of flap repair was evaluated according to the comprehensive flap evaluation scale, and the function of hands was evaluated according to the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of upper extremity by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association. The following two indexes were compared, including the measured total active motion of the injured fingers and the foot function assessed using Maryland foot function scale between before surgery and at the last follow-up.Results:Arterial crisis occurred in flaps in 2 patients after operation, and the flaps survived after timely exploration; the flaps in the rest patients survived well after operation. No obvious scar hyperplasia or ulceration was observed in donor and recipient areas of flaps after operation. All patients were followed up for 8 to 16 months, of which 6 patients underwent flap thinning and plastic surgery 6 to 7 months after operation, and 4 patients underwent tenolysis 3 to 6 months after operation. At the last follow-up, the recovery of sensory function of flaps reached S1 level in 5 cases and S2 level in 11 cases, and the two-point discrimination only had 1 point. The efficacy of flap repair scored 80 to 91, which were evaluated as excellent in 5 cases, good in 9 cases, and acceptable in 2 cases. The hand function was evaluated as excellent in 5 cases, good in 5 cases, and acceptable in 2 cases. The active extension function of the injured finger/toe was reconstructed successfully, and the total active motion of the injured finger was (225±22)° at the last follow-up, which was significantly higher than (117±20)° before surgery ( t=119.59, P<0.05); the foot function score was 86±7 at the last follow-up, which was significantly higher than 29±7 before surgery ( t=222.68, P<0.05), and the foot function was evaluated as excellent in 2 cases, good in 1 case, and acceptable in 1 case. Conclusions:The operation of harvesting the anterolateral femoral perforator flap pedicled with oblique branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery is relatively simple. After the wounds on hands or feet being repaired with the flaps, the appearance and function are good, with no obvious scar hyperplasia in donor and recipient areas of flaps. The fascia lata carried by the flap can repair the extensor tendon defect at the same time and improve the movement of the finger/toe.

Background The effects of meteorological factors and air pollutants on ischemic heart disease (IHD) hospitalizations in Urumqi have not been fully understood. Objective To investigate the effects of meteorological conditions (temperature, relative humidity) and common air pollutants [fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM₁₀), ozone (O₃), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO)] on the daily hospitalization volume of IHD, and to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention and management strategies. Methods Basic information of 90622 IHD hospitalized patients in Urumqi City was collected from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2022, and daily air pollutant concentration data and meteorological data were collected during the same period. The meteorological data included daily mean temperature, daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and daily mean relative humidity, and the common air pollutants included PM_2.5, PM₁₀, daily maximum 8-h average concentration of O₃ (O₃_8 h), SO₂, NO₂, and CO. Descriptive statistical analyses (mean, standard deviation, and quartiles) were performed on the collected data. A distribution lag nonlinear model (DLNM) based on time-stratified case-crossover design was established to estimate the lagged effects (RR) as well as the cumulative lagged effects (RR_cum) of daily mean temperature, relative humidity, and different air pollutants on the number of IHD admissions, stratified by gender and age (<60 and ≥60 years). Subsequently, a generalized additive model (GAM) was used to explore the effects of cold waves (≤ P₅ of the daily minimum temperature and lasting ≥3 d) versus heat waves (≥ P₉₅ of the daily maximum temperature and lasting ≥3 d) on IHD hospitalizations and the potential interactions between temperature and the more influential air pollutants [particulate matter (PM) and O₃_8 h] on IHD hospitalizations. Results The maximum number of IHD hospitalizations in a single day in Urumqi from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2022 was 100, and the average daily number of hospitalized IHD patients was 27. Daily mean temperature, relative humidity, and air pollutants had different nonlinear relationships and hysteresis with IHD hospitalizations. Extremely low temperatures (<P₁: −18 °C) showed the greatest risk to admission for the total IHD population at a cumulative lag of 31 d (lag0-31) (RR_cum=2.092, 95%CI: 1.261,3.471). Female [lag0-31, RR_cum and 95%CI: 3.416 (2.296,5.082)] and people ≥60 years old [lag0-31, RR_cum and 95%CI: 2.356 (1.681,3.303)] were more sensitive to extremely low temperatures. The risk of IHD hospitalization was greatest on lag20 for cold waves (RR=1.242, 95%CI: 1.053, 1.465), and no lagged effect of heat waves on the number of IHD hospitalizations was found. There was a positive interaction (SI >1, P<0.001) between temperature, PM, and O₃_8 h on the risk of IHD hospitalization, especially for low temperature-high PM and O₃_8 h. Conclusion Both low temperature and high pollutant concentrations associate with an increase in IHD hospitalizations with lagged effects in Urumqi from 2014 to 2022, while cold waves associate with a higher risk of IHD admissions. Females and people aged 60 years and older are at high risk.

Objective:To evaluate the intervention effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)for patients with depressive disorders.Methods:A computer search of the Web of Science Core Collection,Pubmed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,CNKI,WanFang and WeiPu full-text databases(until October 23,2023)was used to collect randomized controlled studies that used acceptance and commitment therapy for trea-ting patients with depressive disorders.Using Stata 17 software,meta-analysis was performed on the literature data that met the inclusion criteria.Results:After screening,11 studies remained for data extraction.The results of a ran-dom effects model indicated that ACT could significantly reduce depression levels in patients with depressive disor-ders(SMD=-1.22,95％CI:-2.05--0.40,P＜0.01),and had a certain maintenance effect(SMD=3.59,95％CI:1.57-5.62,P＜0.01).Conclusion:Acceptance and commitment therapymay could improve the level of depression in patients.

Objective:To discuss the effect of temperature-controlled shrinkage polytrimethylene carbonate(PTMC)/polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)nanofiber membrane on the biological behavior of mouse fibroblasts and the repairment effect on full-thickness skin defects in the rats,and to clarify the potential mechanism.Methods:The murine L929 fibroblast cells were used in the in vitro experiments and were divided into control group and experimental group(treated with PTMC/PVP nanofiber membranes).The proliferation activities of the cells in two groups were detected by CCK-8 assay;the numbers of live/dead cells in two groups were observed by live/dead cell staining;the morphology of the cells was observed by cytoskeletal staining.A total of 12 six-week-old male SD rats were selected in the in vivo experiment,and were randomly divided into control group and experimental group,and there were six rats in each group.The full-thickness skin defect model was established,and the rats in experimental group were treated with PTMC/PVP nanofiber membranes.The photographs were taken after operation,and the wound healing rates of the cells in two groups were calculated on the 0,3rd,6th,and 12th days.On the 6th and 12th days after operation,the skin samples around the wound of the rats in two groups were taken,and the histopathology of the would skin and adjacent tissue was detected by HE staining;the collagen deposition in wound skin tissue of the rats in two groups was observed by Masson trichrome staining;the numbers of angiogenesis in wound skin tissue of the rats were detected by CD31 immunohistochemical staining.Results:The CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation activity of the cells in experimental group showed an increasing trend on the 1st,3st,and 5st days,and there was no significant difference in the proliferation activities of the cells bewteen experimental group and control group(P＞0.05).The live/dead cell staining experiment results showed that compared with control group,the cell density and number of the cells in experimental group had no significant changes,and were predominantly live cells.The cytoskeletal staining results showed that the cells in experimental and control groups appeared spindle-shaped and well-spread.In the in vivo experiments,on the 3rd,6th,and 12th days,compared with control group,the wound healing rates of the cells in experimental group were increased(P＜0.01),and the wound healing rate of the cells was 95.45％on the 12th day,indicating nearly complete healing of the wound.The HE staining showed that on the 12th day,the wound skin structure of the cells in experimental group was more similar to the normal skin,and there was abundant granulation tissue,regular epidermal structure,and new blood vessel formation.The Masson trichrome staining results showed that compared with control group,the collagen deposition in wound tissue of the rats in experimental group was increased.The immunohistochemical staining results showed that the expression of CD31 in wound tissue of the rats in experimental group was increased,indicating the increasing of the number of angiogenesis.Conclusion:The PTMC/PVP thermoresponsive nanofiber membranes exhibit good biocompatibility and can promote the repairment of full-thickness skin defects in the rats;its mechanism may be related to the enhancement of proliferation activity of the basal cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the perioperative risk factors in young children with obstructive sleep apnea.METHODS The 86 young OSA children admitted to Kunming Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were divided into general ward group and ICU ward group according to their postoperative treatment.The clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed.RESULTS The course of disease and operation time of children in ICU ward group were significantly longer than those in general ward group,OAHI and ODI were significantly greater than those in general ward group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly more than that in general ward group,MSaO2 and LSaO2 were significantly lower than those in general ward group,and the tonsil size and operation method composition ratio were significantly different from those in general ward group(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in sex composition ratio,age,weight,height,BMI and adenoid size grading ratio between the two groups(P>0.05).The OAHI values of the two groups were significantly negatively correlated with MSaO2 and LSaO2(r=-0.676,-0.724),and significantly positively correlated with tonsil size grade,ODI,operation time and intraoperative blood loss(r=0.242,0.967,0.321,0.446,P<0.05).There was no significant correlation with the course of disease(r=0.172,P>0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that LSaO2 and ODI were independent risk factors for the severity of the child's condition.CONCLUSION The severity of the condition in young OSA children determines the perioperative risk and is influenced by the type of surgery.LSaO2 and ODI are independent risk factors which should be taken seriously by clinicians.

Objective:To explore the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 genotype on the cortical thickness of attentional networks in patients with Bipolar 1 disorder type (BD-Ⅰ). Methods:From August 2013 and August 2019, a total of 155 BD-Ⅰ patients were recruited from the outpatient and inpatient Departments of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, along with 82 healthy controls (HC) from the community and university. Genotype for the CACNA1C rs58619945 locus was determined for all BD-I patients and HC subjects, followed by 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging scans to measure the cortical thickness in the alert, orienting, and executive control subnetworks. General linear models (GLMs) were used to evaluate the impact of CACNA1C rs58619945 on the cortical thickness of attentional networks. Concurrently, attentional dimension functions were assessed using repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS) and Cambridge neuropsychological test automated battery rapid visual information processing (CANTAB RVP) test. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University(Ethics No. 2023-056). Results:Compared with the HC group, the BD-Ⅰ patients had shown reduced thickness in bilateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral posterior cingulate cortex, and bilateral superior temporal cortex( P<0.05). A significant interaction between the CACNA1C genotype and the cortical thickness(HC vs.BD) of right prefrontal cortex, right posterior parietal cortex and right superior temporal cortex was noted( P<0.05). Partial correlation analysis has demonstrated a significant correlation between CANTAB RVP and RBANS attention indices and cortical thickness in the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex( P<0.05), and right superior temporal cortex predominantly among carriers of the BD-Ⅰ G allele. Conclusion:The G allele of CACNA1C rs58619945 is associated with cortical thickness of the right prefrontal cortex, right posterior cingulate cortex, and right superior temporal cortex in BD-Ⅰ, which are part of the alerting and orienting network.
