Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a malignant hematologic tumor, which is currently difficult to cure. The theory of Xuanfu was proposed by Liu Wansu, which is unique in the clinical evidence of Chinese medicine and is less frequently applied to hematological diseases. The application of Xuanfu theory in myelodysplastic syndrome provides new ideas for the treatment of the disease. The abnormal flow of Qi, blood and fluids caused by the occlusion of the Xuanfu is the cause of toxic stasis obstruction, which is the pathogenesis of toxic stasis obstruction. Thus, the method of dispersion of Bone from Xuanfu, the external treatment of Xuanfu, and regulation of liver qi and Xuanfu help to return to normal of opening and closing function of Xuanfu, and release toxic stasis. In this paper, we analyzed the evidence of toxin-stasis obstruction in myelodysplastic syndrome from the theory of Xuanfu, aiming to provide a feasible theoretical basis for clinical treatment of the disease.

In recent years, endovascular treatment has emerged as the preferred approach for aortic aneurysms. From an anatomical perspective, the current focus of research remains on the reconstruction of iliac artery branches, multiple branches of visceral arteries, and branches of the aortic arch. Substantial clinical evidence has been accumulated in these areas. Simultaneously, future research is expected to explore the reconstruction of the aortic root involving coronary arteries openings and the inhibition of small arterial aneurysm progression through pharmacological means. This article aims to provide a review of significant research data in recent years related to the treatment of aortic aneurysms, offering insights and prospects for future research directions.

【Objective】 To understand the prevalence of overweight/obesity among school-age children in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to explore the influence of gestational weight gain and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on weight status of school-age children. 【Methods】 From November to December 2020,a stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to select first-grade students from 13 primary schools in Pudong New Area of Shanghai.After matching with the birth monitoring database, 755 students with complete birth information were selected as the study subjects.The relevant information of mothers before and during pregnancy was retrospectively collected, and the effects of pregnancy weight gain combined with pre-pregnancy BMI on overweight/obesity in school-age children were analyzed. 【Results】 1) The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity of first-grade children were 15.89% and 18.41%, respectively.2) Maternal excessive weight gain during pregnancy (OR=1.678) and overweight/obesity before pregnancy (OR=2.315,2.412) were risk factors for overweight/obesity of the offspring at school age(P<0.05).3) For mothers who were underweight before pregnancy, excessive weight gain during pregnancy was associated with overweight/obesity in school-age children in their offspring (OR=7.436, 95%CI: 1.489 - 37.143,P<0.05).4) Excessive weight gain during pregnancy combined with overweight/obesity before pregnancy significantly increased the risk of overweight/obesity in offspring (OR=3.606, 95%CI: 2.030 - 6.405, P<0.05). Mothers who gained a moderate amount of weight during pregnancy and were emaciated before pregnancy had a significantly lower risk of overweight/obesity in their school-age children (OR=0.217, 95%CI: 0.049 - 0.967, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases the risk of overweight/obesity in school-age children in their offspring, strengthening pregnancy health education and perinatal care to help pregnant women maintain appropriate weight gain during pregnancy may be an important and novel strategy to prevent childhood obesity.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration based on open-lung strategy on the intraoperative thoracic fluid content (TFC) in elderly patients undergoing transurethral ultrasound-guided laser-induced prostatectomy (TULIP).Methods:Eighty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, patients, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective TULIP, were divided into 2 groups ( n=43 each) by the random number table method: fixed PEEP group (group C) and individualized PEEP titration group (group P). PEEP was set at 4 cmH 2O after routine mechanical ventilation in group C. Patients underwent pulmonary recruitment maneuvers combined with individualized PEEP titration during surgery in group P. TFC was measured using a non-invasive cardiac output monitor at 5 min after tracheal intubation (T 0), 30 min after PEEP titration and ventilation (T 1), 5 min before surgery (T 2), and 5 min before leaving the recovery room (T 3). Cardiac output, oxygenation index and stroke volume index were recorded from T 0-T 2, arterial blood gas analysis was simultaneously performed to record peak airway pressure and dynamic lung compliance, and oxygenation index was calculated. The duration of postanesthesia care unit stay, pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery, and length of hospital stay were also recorded. Results:Eighty-three patients were finally included, with 42 in group C and 41 in group P. Compared with group C, TFC was significantly decreased at T 1-T 3, cardiac index, cardiac output and stroke volume index were decreased at T 1, dynamic lung compliance, PaO 2 and oxygenation index were increased at T 1 and T 2, PaCO 2 was decreased, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was reduced, and the duration of postanesthesia care unit stay and postoperative length of hospital stay were shortened in group P ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Individualized PEEP titration based on open-lung strategy can effectively decrease TFC and improve intraoperative oxygenation and prognosis in elderly patients undergoing TULIP.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical and prognostic differences in acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) children under different diagnostic criteria (World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 and WHO 2022 criteria).Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical characteristics and prognosis information of 260 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) children admitted to Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2017 to August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to WHO 2016 and WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria, patients were divided into AML-MRC group and non-AML-MRC group, the prognostic and genetic differences between two groups were compared respectively. Meanwhile, the characteristics of children with 8 MRC-related genes defined in WHO 2022 diagnostic criteria were described. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test were used for comparison between groups. Survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier method, and comparison between groups was performed by Log-Rank method. Results:Among the 260 children, there were 148 males and 112 females. The follow-up time was 26 (16, 38) months. A total of 28 children (10.8%) were diagnosed with AML-MRC according to the WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria. Compared with non-AML-MRC children, the frequency of PTPN11, RUNX11, SH2B3, MPL and STAG2 mutations was higher in AML-MRC children (25.0% (7/28) vs. 4.3% (10/232), 14.3% (4/28) vs. 3.9% (9/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 2.2% (5/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 2.2% (5/232), 10.7% (3/28) vs. 0.9% (2/232), all P<0.05). The 2-year overall survival (OS) and events free survival (EFS) rate of 28 AML-MRC children under WHO 2016 diagnostic criteria were worse than those of 232 non-AML-MRC children ((62.1±10.8)% vs. (94.5±1.6)%, χ2=22.1 ,P<0.001;(48.0±10.6)% vs. (70.9±3.2)%, χ2=6.33, P=0.012). Twenty-seven children (10.4%) were eventually diagnosed with AML-MRC according to WHO 2022 criteria, their 2-year OS rate were worse than 233 non-AML-MRC children ((60.8±11.1)% vs. (94.5±1.6)%, χ2=24.49 ,P<0.001), and there was no statistically significant difference in EFS rate between two groups at 2 years ((55.1±10.8)% vs. (70.1±3.2)%, χ2=2.44 , P=0.119). Conclusions:Compared with the 2022 WHO diagnostic criteria, the survival rates of children with AML-MRC under the 2016 WHO diagnostic criteria were worse than that of children without MRC.The new version of the AML-MRC diagnostic criteria emphasizes the importance of genes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Methods:Clinical data including the age, time from initial diagnosis to recurrence, relapse site, and therapeutic effect of 37 pediatric ALL with testicular relapse and treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2011 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were grouped according to different clinical data. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to evaluate the influencing factors of OS rate and EFS rate for multivariate analysis.Results:The age at initial diagnosis of 37 pediatric testicular relapse patients was (5±3) years and the time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence was (37±15) months. The follow-up time was 43 (22, 56) months. Twenty-three patients (62%) were isolated testis relapse. The 5-year OS rate and EFS rate of the 37 relapsed children were (60±9) % and (50±9) % respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 2-year EFS rate in the group of patients with time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence >28 months was significantly higher than those ≤28 months ((69±10)% vs. (11±11)%, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of the isolated testicular relapse group was significantly higher than combined relapse group ((66±11)% vs. (20±13) %, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment after relapse group was significantly higher than without CAR-T cell treatment after relapse group ((78±10)% vs. (15±10)%, P<0.05). ETV6-RUNX1 was the most common genetic aberration in testicular relapsed ALL (38%, 14/37). The 4-year OS and EFS rate of patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive were (80±13) % and (64±15) %, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified relapse occurred≤28 months after first diagnosis ( HR=3.09, 95% CI 1.10-8.72), combined relapse ( HR=4.26, 95% CI 1.34-13.52) and CAR-T cell therapy after relapse ( HR=0.15,95% CI 0.05-0.51) were independent prognostic factors for 2-year EFS rate (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The outcome of testicular relapse in pediatric ALL was poor. They mainly occurred 3 years after initial diagnosis. ETV6-RUNX1 is the most common abnormal gene.Patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive often have a favorable outcome. Early relapse and combined relapse indicate unfavorable prognosis, while CAR-T cell therapy could significantly improve the survival rate of children with testicular recurrence.

Objective To observe the influence of functional ankle instability(FAI)on balance and lower limb explosive power. Methods A total of 26 male FAI participants,13 bilateral(bilateral group)and 13 left(left group),who regularly en-gaged in high-intensity exercise,were recruited at Harbin Sport University in May,2024.Meanwhile,13 unin-jured male participants who engaged in high-intensity exercise were recruited as control group.They were mea-sured the moving area of the left foot,right foot and body center of gravity standing on feet with the eyes opened and closed;as well as the sway angle,confidence ellipse diameter(maximum and minimum)to circle area ratio,sway ratio and confidence ellipse standing on single foot,with Gaitview plantar pressure analysis system.They were also tested with Y-balance test(YBT),and were measured flight time and center of gravity height during jumps single leg left/right drift,stiffness and counter movement jump using Opto-jump Optical Measurement of Motor Quality. Results There were significant differences among the groups in swing angle,confidence ellipse diameter(maximum and minimum)to circle area ratio,swing ratio and confidence ellipse as left-leg stance with eyes closed(F>3.300,P<0.05),which was the least in the control group(P<0.05).Swing angle,swing ratio and confidence ellipse were also different among the groups as right-leg stance with eyes closed(F>4.404,P<0.05),and they were less in the control group than in the bilateral group(P<0.05),and less in the left group than in the bilateral group(P<0.05),except swing angle.There was a significant difference in YBT results(F>3.649,P<0.05),which was the least in the bilateral group(P<0.05).There were significant differences in the flight time and center of gravity height during counter movement jump(F>7.458,P<0.01),which was the least in the bilateral group(P<0.05). Conclusion FAI may impair the static balance as single-leg stance with eyes closed,dynamic balance and lower limb ex-plosive power.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and long-term prognostic factors of relapsed pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Methods:Clinical data including the age, time from initial diagnosis to relapse, relapse site, and molecular biological features of 217 relapsed ALL children primarily treated by the Chinese Children's Leukemia Group (CCLG)-ALL 2008 protocol in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between April 2008 and April 2015 were collected and analyzed in this retrospective cohort study. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to evaluate the influencing factors of OS rate and EFS rate for multivariate analysis.Results:The age at initial diagnosis of 217 relapsed patients was 5 (3, 7) years. There were 135 males and 82 females. The time from initial diagnosis to relapse of 217 children was 22 (10, 39) months. After relapse, 136 out of 217 children (62.7%) received treatment and the follow-up time was 65 (47, 90) months. The 5-year OS rate and EFS rate of the 136 relapsed children were (37±4) % and (26±4) %, respectively. The predicted 10-year OS rate and EFS rate were (35±5) % and (20±4) %, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 5-year OS rate in the group of patients with late relapse (43 cases) was significantly higher than those with very early (54 cases) and early relapse (39 cases) ((72±7)% vs. (16±5)%, (28±8)%, χ2=35.91, P<0.05), 5-year OS rate of the isolated extramedullary relapse group (20 cases) was significantly higher than isolated bone marrow relapse group (102 cases) and combined relapse group (14 cases) ((69±11)% vs. (31±5)%, (29±12)%, χ2=9.14, P<0.05), 5-year OS rate of high-risk group (80 cases) was significantly lower than standard-risk group (10 cases) and intermediate-risk group (46 cases) ((20±5)% vs. (90±10)%, (54±8)%, χ2=32.88, P<0.05). ETV6::RUNX1 was the most common fusion gene (13.2%, 18/136). The predicted 10-year OS rate of relapsed children with positive ETV6::RUNX1 was significantly higher than those without ETV6::RUNX1 (118 cases) ((83±9)% vs. (26±5)%, χ2=14.04, P<0.05). The 5-year OS for those accepted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after relapse (42 cases) was higher than those without HSCT (94 cases) ((56±8)% vs. (27±5)%, χ2=15.18, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified very early/early relapse ( HR=3.91, 95% CI 1.96-7.79; HR=4.15, 95% CI 1.99-8.67), bone marrow relapse including isolated bone marrow relapse and combined relapse ( HR=6.50, 95% CI 2.58-16.34; HR=5.19, 95% CI 1.78-15.16), with ETV6::RUNX1 ( HR=0.23, 95% CI 0.07-0.74) and HSCT after relapse ( HR=0.24, 95% CI 0.14-0.43) as independent prognostic factors for OS (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Relapsed pediatric ALL mainly occurs very early and often affects bone marrow, which confer poor outcome. ETV6::RUNX1 is the most common genetic aberration with a favorable outcome. HSCT could rescue the outcome of relapsed children, though the survival rate is still poor.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters measured by ultrasound in predicting post-induction hypotension(PIH) in patients undergoing general anesthesia using a meta-analysis.Methods:Databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Science and Technology Journal Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase were searched for diagnostic clinical trials that involved IVC parameters such as IVC collapsibility index (IVCCI), maximum and minimum IVC diameters (dIVCmax, dIVCmin) measured by ultrasound that predicted PIH from inception to May 2022. Primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of each parameter. The meta regression analysis and subgroup analysis were used to explore the sources of heterogeneity.Results:Nineteen articles were ultimately included ( n=1 750). The sensitivity and specificity of IVCCI in predicting PIH were 0.73 and 0.82 respectively, and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve(AUSROC) was 0.85, and the prediction threshold of IVCCI was (42.5±6.8)%. The sensitivity and specificity of dIVCmax in predicting PIH were 0.46 and 0.74 respectively, and the AUSROC was 0.64. The sensitivity and specificity of dIVCmin in predicting PIH were 0.69 and 0.66 respectively, and the AUSROC was 0.72. In subgroup analysis, the AUSROC of IVCCI in predicting PIH in etomidate subgroup and non-immediate measurement before induction subgroup was 0.92 and 0.71 respectively. The AUSROC of IVCCI was all between 0.8 and 0.9 in propofol group, fentanyl group, sufentanil group, ARB/ACEI group, unlimited surgical types group, and combined with vascular diseases group and other subgroups. Conclusions:IVCCI measured by ultrasound can moderately predict PIH, and dIVCmax and dIVCmin have low accuracy in predicting PIH. Immediate measurement before induction and use of etomidate can improve the predictive accuracy of IVCCI. The predictive accuracy of IVCCI is not affected by the type of opioid drugs, type of surgery, use of ARB/ACEI antihypertensive drugs or vascular diseases.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of peritoneal dialysis solution (PDS)-induced peritoneal microinflammation through activation of ceramide (CER) in peritoneal dialysis model mice.Methods:Thirty 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice weighing about 22 g were used to set up peritoneal dialysis models, and then were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation group (1.5 ml sterilized water, n=7), high glucose-PDS group (1.5 ml 4.25% PDS, n=8), high glucose-PDS+ acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) inhibitor desipramine (DES) group (1.5 ml sterilized water+10 mg/kg DES, n=8), high glucose-PDS+Src kinase inhibitor PP2 group (1.5 ml sterilized water +1 mg/kg PP2, n=7), with intraperitoneal injection once a day. After 28 days, the mice were sacrificed to retain peritoneal tissues. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the histological changes of peritoneum. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and macrophages. High performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of ASMase and CER. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of c-Src, p-Src, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of c-Src, and p-Src. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum C reactive protein (CRP), IL-6 and TNF-α. Results:(1) High glucose-PDS led to peritoneal hyperplasia, collagen deposition and fibrosis in the peritoneal dialysis mice, indicating successful modeling. Compared with high glucose-PDS group, peritoneal hyperplasia, collagen deposition and fibrosis of mice treated with DES and PP2 were significantly improved (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with sham operation group, ASMase activation and CER level of peritoneal tissues were significantly higher in high glucose-PDS group, and DES could significantly inhibit activated ASMase and increased CER expression caused by high glucose-PDS (both P<0.05). PP2 had no significant effect on ASMase activation and CER level (both P>0.05). (3) Compared with sham operation group, there were more TLR4 and macrophage positive staining cells in peritoneal tissues in high glucose-PDS group, and the mRNA expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in peritoneal tissues and serum CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α were higher (all P<0.05). DES and PP2 could significantly inhibit the increased TLR4, macrophages and related inflammatory factors induced by high glucose-PDS (all P<0.05). (4) Compared with sham operation group, c-Src and p-Src mRNA and protein expression levels of peritoneal tissues in high glucose-PDS group were significantly higher (all P<0.05). PP2 significantly inhibited the increased p-Src mRNA and protein levels caused by high glucose-PDS (both P<0.05), but had no significant effect on the mRNA and protein expression levels of c-Src (both P>0.05). DES had no significant effect on the mRNA and protein expression levels of c-Src and p-Src (all P>0.05). Conclusions:High glucose-PDS may enhance the expression of CER through stimulating the activity of ASMase, phosphorylate Src, activate TLR4 and induce inflammatory damage of peritoneum in peritoneal dialysis model mice.
