Objective To explore the role of transcription factor EB(TFEB)induced by aerobic exer-cise in improving insulin resistance(IR)of skeletal muscles in high-fat diet mice.Method Eighteen male SPF C57BL/6 mice aged 6 weeks were randomly divided into a common diet group(CON),a high-fat diet group(HFD),and a high-fat diet exercise group(HFDE),each of 6.Both high-fat groups were on high-fat diet for 12 weeks.Then the HFDE group underwent daily 60-minute tread-mill exercise with the slope of 0°,at a speed of 12 m/min,5 times per week for 12 weeks.Finally,the glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were detected using the intraperitoneal injection glucose tol-erance test(IPGTT)and intraperitoneal injection insulin tolerance test(IPITT).The fasting blood glu-cose and insulin contents were measured by biochemical method,and the IR level was calculated by using the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR).Moreover,Western blotting was employed to detect the expression of phosphorylated transcription factor EB(pTFEB)and TFEB in skeletal muscle,glucose transporter 4(GLUT4)in cytoplasm and membrane,phosphorylated insulin re-ceptor substrates1(pIRS1),phosphorylated protein kinase B(pAKT),phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K),and phosphorylated akt substrate of 160 kD(pTBC1D4)in skeletal muscle.The correlation of pTFEB and TFEB to insulin signaling pathway-related proteins was analyzed.Results(1)Compared with the CON group,there was a significant increase in the average body weight,IPGTT,blood glucose at each time point of IPGTT,area under curve(AUC),serum insulin,HOMA-IR,protein expressions of pTFEB,total-TFEB and GLUT4 in cytoplasm of the HFD group(P<0.01),but a significant decrease in the average protein expressions of pIRS1,pAKT,PI3K,pTBC1D4 and GLUT4 in cell membrane of skeletal muscles(P<0.01).However,no significant differences were found between the two groups in the average expression of pTFEB and T-TFEB proteins.(2)Compared to the HFD group,a signifi-cant increase was found in the average body weight,blood glucose at each time point of IPGTT,blood glucose of IPITT at 0 min,30 min and 60 min and AUC,serum insulin,HOMA-IR,expres-sions of pTFEB,T-TFEB and GLUT4 in cytoplasm of HFDE group(P<0.05 or P<0.01),with a signifi-cant decrease in the average protein expressions of pIRS1,pAKT,PI3K,pTBC1D4 and GLUT4 in cell membrane and T-TFEB in nucleus(P<0.01).(3)TFEB was negatively correlated with the expres-sion of pIRS1,PI3K,pAKT,and pTBC1D4 proteins(r=-0.8642,r=-0.7789,r=-0.8946,r=-0.8040)but positively correlated with cytoplasmic GLUT4(r=0.8532,P<0.01).Moreover,TFEB in the nucleus was of positive correlation with GLUT4 in the cell membrane(r=0.7744,P<0.01).Conclusions High-fat diet can decrease the expression of insulin signaling pathway related proteins in skeletal mus-cles of mice and weaken their insulin action,leading to the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism.However,aerobic exercise can significantly increase the expression of such proteins to promote insulin function and sensitivity,and relieve disorders in glucose and lipid metabolism.This effect may be achieved through the promotion of skeletal muscle TFEB nuclear translocation,which activates IRS1/PI3K/AKT/TBC1D4/GLUT4 signaling pathway and facilitates GLUT4 membrane translocation,ultimately enhancing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells.The authors speculate that the TFEB-mediated insu-lin signaling pathway may be an important molecular pathway for aerobic exercise to improve insulin re-sistance.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness, safety, and advantages of modified radical neck dissection by gasless unilateral axillary approach (GUA-MRND) in the surgical management of selected patients with papillary thyroid cancer.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed patients with papillary thyroid cancer who underwent GUA-MRND (endoscopic group, n=16) versus unilateral open modified radical neck dissection (MRND) (open group, n=32) during the period from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2021, including the differences in surgical efficiency, complication rate, and incisional satisfaction.Results:Compared MRND with GUA-MRND, the patients were younger ( P<0.05) , operative time and postoperative drainage anterior ( P<0.01) were slightly inferior in the latter, but it had obvious advantages in cervical swallowing discomfort and incision satisfaction evaluation ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, hematoma, infection, lymphatic or chylous leakage and supraclavicular numbness after surgery ( P>0.05) . The number of dissected lymph nodes in area II in the GUA-MRND was lower ( P<0.05) , but it was significantly higher ( P<0.01) in area III. And the average regional cleaning efficiency in the GUA-MRND was level Ⅲ (35.5%) , level Ⅵ (28.59%) , level Ⅳ (23.21%) , level Ⅱ (7.18%) and level Ⅴ (7.12%) , suggested that GUA-MRND had higher efficacy for level III, level Ⅵ and Level IV. Conclusion:GUA-MRND is safe, effective, and has high cosmetic satisfaction in the treatment of selected patients with lateral cervical lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid cancer.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complication in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Chinese Children's Cancer Group-ALL-2015 protocol was carried out in China, and epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and risk factors associated with VTE were analyzed. We collected data on VTE in a multi-institutional clinical study of 7640 patients with ALL diagnosed in 20 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2019. First, VTE occurred in 159 (2.08%) patients, including 90 (56.6%) during induction therapy and 108 (67.92%) in the upper extremities. T-ALL had a 1.74-fold increased risk of VTE (95% CI 1.08-2.8, P = 0.022). Septicemia, as an adverse event of ALL treatment, can significantly promote the occurrence of VTE (P < 0.001). Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) accounted for 75.47% (n = 120); and, symptomatic VTE, 58.49% (n = 93), which was more common in patients aged 12-18 years (P = 0.023), non-CRT patients (P < 0.001), or patients with cerebral thrombosis (P < 0.001). Of the patients with VTE treated with anticoagulation therapy (n = 147), 4.08% (n = 6) had bleeding. The VTE recurrence rate was 5.03% (n = 8). Patients with VTE treated by non-ultrasound-guided venous cannulation (P = 0.02), with residual thrombus (P = 0.006), or with short anticoagulation period (P = 0.026) had high recurrence rates. Thus, preventing repeated venous puncture and appropriately prolonged anticoagulation time can reduce the risk of VTE recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of enhanced recovery after surgery using the LEER model in patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy in basic hospitals of Yi nationality area.Methods:Twenty-six patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on the concept of enhancing recovery after surgery using the LEER model in People's Hospital of Jinkouhe District of Leshan from January to October 2021 were included in the observation group. An additional 20 patients who concurrently underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and conventional intervention were included in the control group. Clinical efficacy, postoperative complications and postoperative pain were compared between the two groups.Results:Postoperative fasting time, length of hospital stay, and total hospital days in the observation group were 6 (6, 6) hours, 2 (2, 3) days and 4 (4, 6) days respectively, which were significantly shorter than 24 (24, 36) hours, 5 (5, 6) days, 7 (7, 9) days in the control group ( H = 351.00, 407.50, 458.00, all P < 0.05). Hospitalization cost in the observation group was 5 454.58 (5 014.11, 6 016.58) yuan, which was significantly lower than 6 611.91 (6 192.68, 7 841.73) yuan in the control group ( H = 420.00, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in operative time and postoperative complications between the two groups (both P > 0.05). At postoperative 6 hours, Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was 3 (3, 4) points, and patients with mild pain accounted for 73.07% (19/26). At postoperative 24 hours, Visual Analogue Scale score in the observation group was 2 (2, 3) points, and patients with mild pain accounted for 92.31% (24/26). Overall pain was well controlled after surgery. Patient satisfaction rate in the observation was 96.15% (25/26). All patients recovered and were discharged. Conclusion:Application of enhanced recovery after surgery using the LEER model in patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy in basic hospitals of Yi nationality area can promote postoperative recovery, contribute to changing the theory of diagnosis and treatment, and improve overall medical quality. The enhanced recovery after surgery protocol using the LEER model has a good application value.
