Objective To explore the value of brain MR three-dimensional arterial spin labeling(3D-ASL),diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)combined with MGMT gene detection in the differential diagnosis of postoperative recurrence and pseudoprogression of high-grade glioma.Methods A total of 30 patients with high-grade glioma were selected,and all patients were divided into pseudoprogression group and recurrence group according to pathological results.The differences in average relative cerebral blood flow(rCBF)and average relative apparent diffusion coefficient(rADC)were compared between recurrence groups and pseudoprogression groups.Results The rCBF in the enhanced center and edge areas in the recurrence group was significantly higher than those in the pseudoprogression group,and the rADC was significantly lower than that in the pseudoprogression group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were correlations between the postoperative recurrence and pseudoprogression of high-grade glioma and the promoter situation of methylation of MGMT gene.Conclusion Brain MR 3D-ASL,DWI combined with MGMT gene detection has important clinical value in the differential diagnosis of postoperative recurrence and pseudoprogression of high-grade glioma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of shikosin （SHI） on psoriasis （PSO） and explore the underlying mechanism via the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase （cGAS）/stimulator of interferon genes （STING） signaling pathway. MethodHaCaT cells were classified into normal culture（Control）， a mixture of five proinflammatory cytokines（M5）， low-， medium-， and high-dose SHI （L-SHI， M-SHI， and H-SHI， respectively）， and SHI+ADU-S100 groups. The cells in the M5 group were stimulated with 10 μg·L^-1 interleukin （IL）-1α， IL-17， IL-22， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and oncostatin M （OSM） for 48 h. The cells in the L-SHI， M-SHI， and H-SHI groups were treated with 0.1， 1， 10 μmol·L^-1 SHI， respectively， on the basis of the treatment in the M5 group. The cells in the SHI+ADU-S100 group were treated with 10 μmol·L^-1 STING activator ADU-S100 on the basis of the treatment in the H-SHI group. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay and colony formation assay were employed to examine the effect of SHI on the proliferation of HaCaT cells. The wound healing assay was employed to examine the effect of SHI on the migration of HaCaT cells. Flow cytometry was employed to detect the effect of SHI on the apoptosis of HaCaT cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， IL-23， and interferon-γ （IFN-γ） in HaCaT cells. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of cGAS and STING in HaCaT cells. ResultCompared with Control group， the M5 group showed decreased survival rate， colony formation， and would healing rate of HaCaT cells， increased apoptosis rate， elevated levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， IL-23， and IFN-γ， and up-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING （P<0.01）. Compared with the M5 group， the L-SHI， M-SHI， and H-SHI groups showed increased survival rate， cell colony formation， and wound healing rate， decreased apoptosis rate， lowered levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， IL-23， and IFN-γ， and down-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING （P<0.01）. Compared with the H-SHI group， the SHI+ADU-S100 group showed decreased survival rate， cell colony formation， and wound healing rate， increased apoptosis rate， risen levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-15， IL-23， and IFN-γ， and up-regulated protein levels of cGAS and STING （P<0.01）. ConclusionSHI can inhibit the inflammation in the cell model of PSO by inhibiting the cGAS/STING signaling pathway.

Objective To develop a highly sensitive and rapid nucleic acid detection method for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2). Methods We designed,developed,and manufactured an integrated disposable device for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid extraction and detection.The precision of the liquid transfer and temperature control was tested.A comparison between our device and a commercial kit for SARS-Cov-2 nucleic acid extraction was performed using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The entire process,from SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid extraction to amplification,was evaluated.

Objective To examine the application effectiveness of dual 8F ultrafine pigtail drainage tubes versus a single 28F large-bore chest tube in single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy. Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy within our medical group from January 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized into two groups based on postoperative drainage methods: a dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group and a single 28F large-bore chest tube group. Comparative analysis was performed on perioperative data for the two groups of patients. Results The dual 8F ultrafine pigtail tubes group comprised of 68 patients, with 41 females and 27 males, and an average age of (54.72±13.34) years, while the single 28F large-bore chest tube group comprised of 80 patients, with 40 females and 40 males, and an average age of (57.60±11.04) years. There were statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative drainage volume on day 1, day 2, and day 3, total postoperative drainage volume, postoperative tube placement time, postoperative pain score at 48 hours, maximum postoperative pain score, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications related to drainage tubes, and emergency use of pain-relieving medication after surgery (P＜0.05). Conclusion After single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy, the application of dual ultrafine 8F pigtail drainage tubes can lead to a reduction in postoperative drainage volume and shorten the duration of postoperative drainage tube placement and hospital stay, thereby decreasing postoperative pain and the frequency of emergency pain-relieving medication. Moreover, it lowers the incidence of drainage tube-related complications. In alignment with current enhanced recovery after surgery principles, this approach is advantageous for postoperative recovery.

Objective To detect the expression level of 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase(ABAT)in bone marrow of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS),and analyze its influence on clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods From January 2016 to March 2020,92 patients with MDS and 30 patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xingtai Medical College were retrospectively collected.Meanwhile,30 patients with immunothrombocytopenia who did not develop MDS or other clonal diseases of the blood system during a 3-year follow-up were collected as control group.Real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the relative expression level and methylation level of ABAT mRNA of all patients,and the relative expression level and methylation level of ABAT mRNA among different clinical characteristics of MDS patients were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the adverse prognosis of MDS.The clinical value of detecting ABAT methylation level in predicting poor prognosis of MDS patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the 3-year survival rate between groups with different ABAT mRNA relative expression levels and methylation levels,and log-rank test was used for their comparison.Results The expression level of ABAT mRNA in MDS group(0.42±0.08)was lower than that in control group(0.56±0.15)and AML group(0.52±0.10),while the methylation level of ABAT(32.51±5.32)was higher than that of AML group(26.21±4.58)and control group(10.25±4.31),and the differences were significant(t=4.251,4.562;10.415,8.326,all P<0.001).The methylation level of ABAT in high-risk patients(42.65±5.32)was higher than that in low-risk patients(25.63±4.16),intermediate-risk-1 patients(30.59±2.51)and intermediate-risk-2 patients(33.25±3.69)by IPSS risk grade,and the differences were significant(t=8.329,7.077,15.874,all P<0.001).Poor Karyotype analysis result[OR(95%CI):4.973(1.524～8.581),P=0.004],high IPSS risk grade[OR(95%CI):8.542(2.365～14.521),P<0.001]and ABAT hypermethylation level[OR(95%CI):6.178(1.589～13.021),P<0.001]were the risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of MDS.The cut-offvalue of ABAT methylation level to predict the poor prognosis of MDS were 30.54,and the area under the curve(AUC),the sensitivity and specificity were 0.92,0.874 and 0.851,respectively.The 3-year survival rate of the high ABAT methylation group(>30.54)was 66.67%,which was lower than that of the low ABAT methylation group(≤30.54)was 93.18%,with significant difference(Log-rank x2=9.814,P=0.002).Conclusion The ABAT methylation levels in MDS bone marrow increase,which is a risk factor affecting the poor prognosis of patients.ABAT basal level>30.54 is expected to become a factors predicting the poor prognosis of patients.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review on the application of sedentary behavior intervention in chronic disease patients and identify the delivery carriers, intervention time, intervention content and intervention results, so as to provide guidance for health care personnel to carry out relevant intervention research.Methods:Literature was systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang data from establishment of the databases to June 15, 2023. The included literatures were screened, summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 25 articles were included, among which the delivery carriers of sedentary behavior intervention included offline guidance, wearable device monitoring, telephone follow-up, mobile phone applications, email and website platform. The most common intervention implementers were rehabilitation therapists, followed by nurses, doctors and psychologists. Intervention durations ranged from 4 weeks to 3 years. Behavioral intervention strategies covered eight aspects, including providing information about behavioral consequences, goal setting, action planning, obstacle identification/problem-solving, behavioral feedback, exploring social support, motivational rewards and restructuring the physical environment. The types of outcome indicators for intervention included sedentary time, physical activity time, physiological indicators, psychological indicators, feasibility evaluation and safety evaluation. The results showed that sedentary behavior intervention not only reduced sedentary behavior in patients with chronic diseases, but also affected their quality of life and self-efficacy.Conclusions:Sedentary behavior intervention has positive effects on sedentary behavior, physical activity, physical health and mental health of patients with chronic diseases. Future research should strengthen the development and application of mobile phone applications and strengthen environmental intervention to further improve the intervention effect.

Objective:To compare Jefferson-fracture reduction plate (JeRP) and micro titanium plate in the transoral single-segment fixation of unstable atlas fractures.Methods:From January 2008 to December 2020, 45 patients with unstable atlas fracture were treated by single-segment fixation through an oral approach with a JeRP or a micro titanium plate at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command. They were 24 males and 21 females, aged from 15 to 67 years. By the Gehweiler classification, 11 atlas fractures were type Ⅰ and 34 type Ⅲ; by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification, the spinal cord injury was grade D in 7 cases and grade E in 38 cases; by the Dickman classification, the atlas transverse ligament injury was type Ⅰ in 4 cases and type Ⅱ in 11 cases. Of the patients, 26 were treated by transoral single-segment fixation with a JeRP and 19 by transoral single-segment fixation with a micro titanium plate. The 2 groups were compared in terms of baseline data, operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, visual analog scale (VAS) for neck pain and atlas lateral mass displacement (LMD) before operation and at the last follow-up, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative general data ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for 12 to 55 months (mean, 21.8 months). Wound dehiscence or infection was observed in none of the patients after operation. About 12 months after operation, all fractures achieved bony union, neck pain basically disappeared, and neck movement had no obvious limitation. The hospital stay was (13.9±2.2) d for the JeRP group and (14.2±2.9) d for the micro titanium plate group, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The operation time was (203.5±173.4) min and the blood loss (167.3±138.6) mL in the JeRP group, significantly more than those in the micro titanium plate group [(121.5±50.5) min and (98.4±57.2) mL] ( P<0.05). In the JeRP group, the preoperative LMD was (6.7±1.7) mm and the preoperative VAS score (6.8±1.0) points, significantly higher than the last follow-up values [(0.7±0.6) mm and (0.7±0.6) points] ( P<0.05). In the micro titanium plate group, the preoperative LMD was (6.6±1.5) mm and the preoperative VAS score (6.7±0.9) points, significantly higher than the last follow-up values [(0.9±0.6) mm and (0.8±0.7) points] ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the preoperative or the last follow-up comparison between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Implant loosening was observed in one patient in the JeRP group while foreign body sensation in the throat was reported in one patient after operation in the micro titanium plate group. Conclusions:Both JeRP and micro titanium plate in the transoral single-segment fixation can lead to effective treatment of unstable atlas fractures. Compared with JeRP, the micro titanium plate can effectively shorten operation time and reduce blood loss due to its smaller size and lower incision.
