Background In recent years, radiation diagnosis and treatment technology has been increasingly applied and popularized in the medical field, and the status of radiation health protection has attracted widespread attention. Objective To understand the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of radiological health protection in radiation workers in Jiading District of Shanghai. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 441 radiation workers from 33 medical institutions in Jiading District, Shanghai to conduct a questionnaire survey from May to August 2023. Basic information and radiation protection associated knowledge, attitude, and behavior were collected from the study participants, and the scores of knowledge, attitude, and behavior were calculated. Factors affecting the behavior were evaluated by multiple linear regression. Results A total of 441 subjects were included in this study, with an age range of 22-71 years, 53.06% male and 46.94% female. In terms of knowledge, the correct response rate of the study subjects to the seven questions on the basics of radiation protection ranged from 44.22%-96.60%, with the lowest rate of 44.22% for the question on "radiation stochastic effect diseases". The subjects acquired knowledge about radiation hygiene mainly through vocational training (98.41%), and wanted to acquire knowledge mainly about the basics of nuclear and radiation (76.42%). In terms of attitude, the recognition level (strongly agree/agree) of the study subjects on the six attitude questions ranged from 73.47% to 96.37%, in which only 56.92% of the radiological staff at tertiary hospitals believed that the radiation dose they were exposed to at work would be hazardous to their health, and 73.85% believed that it was necessary to participate in training on knowledge of radiological protection, both lower than those in other levels of hospitals. In terms of behavior, the implementation rate (always/often) of the five behavioral questions by the study participants ranged from 75.28% to 91.84%, and there was a statistically significant difference in the total behavioral scores of the study participants by levels of hospitals (P=0.015). The results of multiple linear regression showed that gender, age, and radiation work permit associated with the behavioral scores of the study subjects. Conclusion In Jiading District, Shanghai, the coginitive rate of radiation workers' basic knowledge of theoretical protection still needs to be improved, and occupational training should be carried out in a targeted manner; the attitude of radiation workers varies by levels of hospitals, and the publicity and education of workers at tertiary hospitals in particular should be strengthened; and the supervision and management of male, senior, and non-certified radiation workers in hospitals of different levels should be enhanced.

The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics and operative dentistry, resulting in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and dental restoration. However, the improper use of this microscope continues to be common in clinical settings, primarily due to operators' insufficient understanding and proficiency in both the features and established operating procedures of this equipment. In October 2019, Professor Jingping Liang, Vice Chairman of the Society of Cariology and Endodontology, Chinese Stomatological Association, organized a consensus meeting with Chinese experts in endodontics and operative dentistry. The objective of this meeting was to establish a standard operation procedure for the dental operative microscope. Subsequently, a consensus was reached and officially issued. Over the span of about four years, the content of this consensus has been further developed and improved through practical experience.

Objectives:This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bendamustine in combination with rituximab (BR regimen) for the treatment of newly diagnosed indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-iNHL) and elderly mantle cell lymphoma (eMCL) .Methods:From December 1, 2020 to September 10, 2022, a multi-center prospective study was conducted across ten Grade A tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China. The BR regimen was administered to evaluate its efficacy and safety in newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients, and all completed at least four cycles of induction therapy.Results:The 72 enrolled patients with B-iNHL or MCL were aged 24-74 years, with a median age of 55 years. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores of 0-1 were observed in 76.4% of patients, while 23.6% had scores of 2. Disease distribution included follicular lymphoma (FL) (51.4% ), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) (33.3% ), eMCL (11.1% ), and the unknown subtype (4.2% ). According to the Ann Arbor staging system, 16.7% and 65.3% of patients were diagnosed with stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ lymphomas, respectively. Following four cycles of BR induction therapy, the overall response rate was 98.6%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 83.3% and a partial response (PR) rate of 15.3%. Only one eMCL patient experienced disease progression during treatment, and only one FL patient experienced a relapse. Even when evaluated using CT alone, the CR rate was 63.9%, considering the differences between PET/CT and CT assessments. The median follow-up duration was 11 months (range: 4-22), with a PFS rate of 96.8% and an OS rate of 100.0%. The main hematologic adverse reactions included grade 3-4 leukopenia (27.8%, with febrile neutropenia observed in 8.3% of patients), grade 3-4 lymphopenia (23.6% ), grade 3-4 anemia (5.6% ), and grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (4.2% ). The main non-hematologic adverse reactions such as fatigue, nausea/vomiting, rash, and infections occurred in less than 20.0% of patients.Conclusion:Within the scope of this clinical trial conducted in China, the BR regimen demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients.

Cabozantinib, mainly targeting cMet and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, is the second-line treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the lower response rate and resistance limit its enduring clinical benefit. In this study, we found that cMet-low HCC cells showed primary resistance to cMet inhibitors, and the combination of cabozantinib and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, rapamycin, exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on the in vitro cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth of these cells. Mechanically, the combination of rapamycin with cabozantinib resulted in the remarkable inhibition of AKT, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases, mTOR, and common downstream signal molecules of receptor tyrosine kinases; decreased cyclin D1 expression; and induced cell cycle arrest. Meanwhile, rapamycin enhanced the inhibitory effects of cabozantinib on the migration and tubule formation of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells and human growth factor-induced invasion of cMet inhibitor-resistant HCC cells under hypoxia condition. These effects were further validated in xenograft models. In conclusion, our findings uncover a potential combination therapy of cabozantinib and rapamycin to combat cabozantinib-resistant HCC.

Objective:To investigate the imaging anatomical features of donor liver blood vessels in laparoscopic left lateral donor liver acquisition and their clinical significance.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 39 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) donors who were admitted to Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University between October 2016 and December 2018 were collected. There were 10 males and 29 females, aged (31±7)years. The clinical data of 39 LDLT recipients were collected. There were 26 males and 13 females, aged 8 months (range, 4-68 months). Abdominal enhanced computed tomography and three-dimensional vascular reconstruction were performed on donors to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of hepatic vessels. All the donors underwent laparoscopic left lateral donor liver acquisition. Observation indicators: (1) three-dimensional vascular reconstruction of preoperative imaging; (2) surgical conditions; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was performed using outpatient examination to detect complications of recipients after LDLT up to October 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Three-dimensional vascular reconstruction of preoperative imaging: the anatomical characteristics of hepatic artery and hepatic vein revealed by three-dimensional vascular reconstruction of preoperative imaging of 39 donors included ① middle hepatic artery was present in 11 donors, among which 5 started from the right hepatic artery, 3 from the confluence of the right and left hepatic artery, and 3 from the left hepatic artery. Two donors had anatomical variation in the left hepatic artery which was presentation of left accessory hepatic artery originated from the left gastric artery. The other 26 donors had no middle hepatic artery or anatomical variation in the left hepatic artery. ② The left hepatic vein and the middle hepatic vein of 9 donors were respectively drained into the inferior vena cava. Seven donors had the left upper branch of the left hepatic vein, and 23 donors had a joint trunk of the left hepatic vein and the middle hepatic vein which drained into the inferior vena cava. (2) Surgical conditions: ① all the 39 donors successfully underwent laparoscopic left lateral donor liver acquisition. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were (160±32)minutes and (142±74)mL. ② Of 11 donors with middle hepatic artery, left hepatic artery was the dominant artery in 8 donors and was used for hepatic artery anastomosis and reconstruction in liver transplantation, middle hepatic artery started from left hepatic artery in 3 donors and the joint trunk of left and middle hepatic artery was used for hepatic artery anastomosis and reconstruction in liver transplantation. Of 2 donors with anatomical variation in the left hepatic artery, one had left accessory hepatic artery as the dominant artery and the other had left hepatic artery as the dominant artery. Left accessory hepatic artery and left hepatic artery were respectively used for hepatic artery anastomosis and reconstruction in liver transplantation. The other 26 donors had left hepatic artery for hepatic artery anastomosis and reconstruction in liver transplantation. ③ Among the 39 donors, 11 received intraoperative left hepatic vein preferred approach and 28 received intraoperative non-left hepatic vein preferred approach. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of donors with left hepatic vein preferred approach were (147±22)minutes and (110±44)mL, respectively, versus (169±33)minutes and (154±81)mL of donors with non-left hepatic vein preferred approach, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=4.19, 2.81, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up: 39 donors were followed up for 10 months. During the follow-up, there was no hepatic artery anastomotic bleeding, stenosis, ischemic bile duct injury and biliary stenosis caused by poor hepatic arterial blood supply, or any complications related to hepatic venous outflow tract stenosis. Conclusions:Three-dimensional vascular reconstruction before laparoscopic left lateral donor liver acquisition can reveal the anatomical variation of middle hepatic artery and left hepatic artery, which can guide the selection of surgical approach. The left hepatic vein preferred approach is recommended for the qualified donor in the laparoscopic left lateral donor liver acquisition, which can shorten the operation time and reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss.

Objective:To investigate the effects of of anti tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis.Methods:From February 2011 to August 2016 in Huadu District People′s Hospital Affiliated with Southern Medical University, 122 patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis were selected and were equally divided into the experimental group and control group with 61 cases in each group according to the random draw envelope principle. Conventional surgical resection and anastomosis was used in control group, the postoperative anti TNF-α therapy was given for 2 weeks based on the treatment in control group.Results:All patients completed surgery and there were no serious complications during operation.The postoperative anal exhaust time and symptom remission time in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group: (2.14 ± 0.41) d vs. (6.24 ± 1.28) d and (3.54 ± 0.77) d vs. (6.99 ± 0.91) d ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative 14 d complications such as anastomotic leakage, wound infection, anastomotic stenosis and pulmonary infection in the experimental group was 4.9%(3/61), and that of the control group was 18%(11/61), and the incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 1d and 7 d serum TNF-α content in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The postoperative 14 d anal function in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group ( P<0.05). MRASP and MSP of postoperative 14 d in experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the control group: (80.24 ± 11.39) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (76.24 ± 12.11) mmHg, (231.98 ± 45.29) mmHg vs. (226.39 ± 41.87) mmHg ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The anti TNF-α in adjuvant treatment of strangulated intestinal obstruction combined with ischemic intestinal necrosis can promote the recovery of clinical symptoms and inhibit the release of TNF-α. It also can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve gastrointestinal motility of patients.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of myocardial injury and its underlying mechanism in rats resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Methods Forty-two male Wistar rats were randomly(random number) assigned into the post-resuscitation (PR) 4 h, PR 24 h, PR 48 h, and sham groups. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by transcutaneous electrical epicardium stimulation and untreated for 6 min, followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Myocardial function, glucose metabolism, myocardial ultrastructure, the status of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were evaluated at different time points. Results Myocardial dysfunction was found at 4 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The ejection fraction and cardiac output were decreased (all P<0.01), the diastole left ventricular posterior wall became thicker (P<0.01), and the end-diastolic volume was reduced (P<0.05). However, cardiac function was recovered almost completely at 48 h after ROSC. The PR 4 h group had a higher SUVmax, a more obvious decreased absorbance, and a lower MMP than the sham group (all P<0.01), but no statistically significant differences were noted between the PR 48 h group and the sham group (P>0.05). At 4 h and 24 h after ROSC, the mitochondria was swollen and the mitochondrial crista was sparse, but the myocardial ultrastructure was complete. Conclusions Post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction occurs after ROSC and the myocardial dysfunction is completely reversible at 48 h after ROSC, which may be related to the reversibility of myocardial injury and the gradual recovery of mitochondrial structure and function.

Objective Cysteinyl leukotrienes are potent inflammatory mediators. Their actions are mediated by specific receptors,the CysLT receptors(CysLT1R and CysLT2R),which have been cloned and characterized. In this stud-y,we investigated the protective effects of the CysLTR antagonist Pranlukast and HAMI 3379 on global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(CI/R)injury in gerbils and its underlying mechanisms. Methods The gerbil model of CI/R was established by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion for 10 min followed by 24 h reperfusion. Then the animals were equally ran-domized into four groups: sham, model, Pranlukast(0.1 mg/kg)and HAMI 3379(0.1 mg/kg)groups. The later two groups were treated with intraperitoneal injection of Pranlukast and HAMI 3379,respectively,once daily for 4 days before carotid artery occlusion,while the former two groups with saline only,all at 10 mL/kg. After 24 h reperfusion,neurologi-cal deficit scores were observed and the behavioral dysfunction was assessed. The neuron morphology of cerebral cortex and CA1 subregion of hippocampus were observed in brain sections stained with cresyl violet. The expression of autophagy-relat-ed proteins beclin-1 and LC3 in the homogenate of cerebral cortex and hippocampus were determined using western blotting analysis. The ultrastructure of autophagosomes in the CA1 subregion of hippocampus was observed by electron microscopy. Results Compared with the model group, Pranlukast and HAMI 3379 attenuated neurological deficits, improved the be-havioral dysfunction,inhibited the neuron injury and loss, decreased the expression of autophagy-related protein beclin-1 and LC3 and the number of autophagosomes. Conclusions cysteinyl Leukotriene receptor antagonist Pranlukast and HAMI 3379 can alleviate global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in gerbils. The protective effects of Pranlukast and HAMI 3379 appear to be associated with the inhibition of autophagy.
