Objective To compare the postoperative enhanced recovery outcomes of lobectomy performed under non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) versus intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (IVATS). Methods Computerized searches were performed in the following databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP Information, China Biomedical Literature Database (CBMdisc), Web of Science, Clinicaltrials.gov, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, and PubMed. We collected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing NIVATS and IVATS. The search period extended from the inception of each database to April 1, 2023. Two independent researchers screened the literature and assessed study quality. Results A total of 14 studies were included, comprising 4 RCTs, 7 retrospective cohort studies, and 3 propensity score matching studies, involving 1 840 patients. Meta-analysis results indicated that, compared to IVATS, NIVATS was associated with significantly shorter operative time [MD=–13.39, 95%CI (–20.16, –6.62), P<0.001], shorter length of hospital stay [MD=–0.81, 95%CI (–1.39, –0.22), P=0.005], shorter chest tube duration [MD=–0.73, 95%CI (–1.36, –0.10), P=0.02], shorter postoperative anesthesia recovery time [MD=–20.34, 95%CI (–26.83, –13.84), P<0.001], and shorter time to oral intake after surgery [MD=–5.68, 95%CI (–7.63, –3.73), P<0.001]. Furthermore, NIVATS showed a lower incidence of postoperative airway complications [OR=0.49, 95%CI (0.34, 0.71), P<0.001] and less total chest tube drainage volume [MD=–251.11, 95%CI (–398.25, –103.98), P<0.001], all contributing to significantly accelerated postoperative enhanced recovery for patients. Conclusion NIVATS is a safe and technically feasible anesthesia method in thoracoscopic lobectomy, which can to some extent replace IVATS.

ObjectiveTo explore the epidemic levels and epidemiological characteristics of influenza-like illness (ILI) in Hongkou District of Shanghai, to track the trends in virus mutations, so as to offer a scientific foundation for precisely predicting influenza epidemic trends, providing early alerts, and implementing prompt prevention and control measures. MethodsData on ILI and etiological surveillance from Hongkou District between 2015 and 2024 were collected and statistically analyzed. ResultsThe consultation percentage of ILI (ILI%) in Hongkou District from 2015 to 2024 was 0.58%, and the differences were statistically significant between different years (χ²=19 280.500, P<0.001), with winter and summer being the prevalence peaks. The highest proportion of ILI cases was observed in the 25‒<60 years age group, and the proportion of cases aged ≥60 years showed an increasing trend. The positive rate for influenza viruses was 17.60%, with seasonal influenzaA (H3N2) subtype (49.78%) and influenza A(H1N1) (30.03%) being the predominant strains,and the positive rate was different by years. There was a correlation between ILI% and the positive rate of influenza viruses (r=0.260, P<0.001). The median intensity of influenza activity in 2023‒2024 was 23.09, which was significantly higher than that in 2015‒2019 (H=37.052, P<0.001) and that in 2020‒2022 (H=40.436, P<0.001). ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2022, the ILI% in Hongkou District, Shanghai remained at a relatively low level, but it significantly increased in 2023‒2024, with peaks observed in winter and summer. The predominant influenza virus strains varied and alternated by years. The 2023‒2024 period witnessed an intensified influenza activity. It is necessary to continuously monitor the impact of other respiratory pathogens on influenza epidemic, so as to provide a scientific basis for early warning and prevention and control of influenza.

Children and adults differ significantly in physiology,biochemistry and immune function,which leads to sig-nificant differences in blood transfusion strategies between children and adults.To guide the clinical transfusion practice of pediatric patients and improve the prognosis of children,the National Health Commission organized the formulation and re-lease of the health industry standard Guideline for Pediatric Transfusion(WS/T 795-2022).This paper will briefly introduce some concepts that help understand of the Standard and the preparation process of the Standard,and explain and interpret the preparation of the"scope","general provisions"and"factors to consider"of the Standard,hoping to contribute to the understanding and implementation of the Standard.

Objective To explore the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)combined with synchronous working memory training on memory,attention,executive function and other cognitive functions in stroke patients.Methods A total of 100 stroke inpatients and outpatients admitted in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical College from January 2022 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into a synchronous group(simultaneous rTMS and working memory training),a rTMS group,a working memory training group,and a control group(no cognitive training),there were 25 case in each group.Stroop test,Rivermead behavioral memory test,Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA),modified Barthel index(MBI)test,and Fugl-Meyer test were applied before and after treatment.Results There were no significant differences in above test scores among the four groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,Stroop test showed that the synchronization group had significantly higher accuracy rates of the baseline phase and the conflict phase than the other three groups(P＜0.05),shorter reaction time of the baseline phase than the working mem-ory training group and the control group(1043.76±260.38 ms vs 1299.36±468.86 ms and 1418.68±412.25 ms,P＜0.05),and shorter reaction time of the conflict phase than the control group(P＜0.05).The synchronization group scored statistically higher scores than the other three groups in the Rivermead behavioral memory test,MoCA test,modified Barthel test,and Fugl-Meyer test(P＜0.05).Conclusion rTMS combined with synchronous working memory training can effectively improve the cognitive function in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)combined with aerobic exercise training on motor function,walking ability and activity of daily living(ADL)in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods A total of 54 PD patients admitted in our department from March 2021 to January 2023 were recruited and randomly divided into conventional treatment group(n=27,aerobic exercise training for 2 weeks)and combination treatment group[n=27,aerobic exercise training plus high-frequency(10 Hz)rTMS in the bilateral primary motor cortex].Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ and ADL scale were applied in two groups before treatment(T0)and 1 h(T1)and 4 weeks(T2)after 2 weeks of treatment to compare the differences in motor score,gait pa-rameters(pace,stride length and stride frequency)and ADL score between them.Results At T1 and T2,the combination treatment group obtained significantly lower UPDRS-Ⅲ score(23.30±3.36 vs 26.22±4.04,24.04±3.45 vs 27.19±3.41,P＜0.01),but higher gait speed and longer stride length when compared with the conventional treatment group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).In the combi-nation treatment group,the UPDRS-Ⅲ and ADL scores at T1 and T2 were decreased,stride speed and stride amplitude were increased when compared with the levels at T0(P＜0.05),and the ADL score was decreased at T1 than T2(P＜0.05).In the conventional treatment group,the UPDRS-Ⅲ and ADL scores at T1 were decreased than those at T0 and T2,and the step speed and stride length were increased at T1 than T0 and T2(P＜0.05).No statistical difference was found in step frequency between the two groups at different time points(P＞0.05).Conclusion High-frequency rTMS in the M1 area bilaterally combined with aerobic exercise training is superior to aerobic exercise training alone in improving PD motor symptoms and gait parameters(gait speed,and stride length),and its efficacy can last up to 4 weeks after treatment.

Objective To expore the effect of fibroblast exosomes from diabetic rats on wound healing.Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group(DM group,n=12)and normal control group(NC group,n=15).Fibroblast exosomes were extracted and identified.After digestion of human epidermal keratinocyte line(HEK-a)and human epidermal microvascular endothelial cell line(HMEC-1),the cells were divided into diabetes exosomes group(DM-EOXa group),normal exosomes group(N-EXOa group)and normal control group(NCa group).CCK8 was used todetect the proliferation of fibroblast.fifteen male SD rats were randomly divided into diabetes exosomes group(DM-EXOb group),normal exosomes group(N-EXOb group)and normal control group(NCb group),with 5 rats in each group.Full-thickness wounds were created on rats back,and fibroblast exosomes were used to intervene wound healing.The wound healing was compared on 3th,7th,10th,and 14th day in each group.Results The proliferation of HEK-a and HMEC-1 was higher in N-EXOa and DM-EXOa groups than in NCa group(P<0.05).On the 7th,10th and 14th day,the average wound rate was lower in N-EXOb group than in NCb and DM-EXOb groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).On the 10th day,the average wound rate was lower in NCb group than in DM-EXOb group(P<0.05).Conclusions Normal fibroblast exosomes can promote wound healing,while diabetic fibroblast exosomes from diabetic rats have no effect on wound healing,and even inhibit wound healing.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block(ESPB)on early postoperative respiratory function and inflammatory cytokines in patients with multiple rib fractures(MRFs).Methods Fifty-eight patients who underwent MRFs surgery,42 males and 16 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-30.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were selected from February 2019 to December 2021.The patients were divided into two groups using random number method:ESPB combined with general anesthesia group(group E)and general anesthesia alone group(group G),29 pa-tients in each group.All the patients in group E underwent ultrasound-guided ESPB in the lateral decubitus position after general anesthesia induction,and 0.5％ropivacaine 0.4 ml/kg was administered.Forced vital capacity(FVC),arterial blood gas analysis,VAS pain scores at rest and cough were recorded before anes-thesia induction,at discharge from PACU,24 and 48 hours after operation.The number of effective PCIA compressions during 0-24 hours and 24-48 hours after surgery and the number of rescue analgesia were re-corded.The concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α were recorded before anesthesia induction,24 and 48 hours after operation.Results Compared with group G,the FVC was significantly higher,and the VAS score and PaCO2 were significantly lower in group E at discharge from PACU,24 and 48 hours after operation(P＜0.05).The number of effective PCIA compressions during 0-24 hours and 24-48 hours after surgery,the rate of rescue analgesia,the concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α 24 and 48 hours after operation in group E were significantly lower than those in group G(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided ESPB can pro-vide good postoperative analgesia,promote early postoperative recovery of respiratory function in patients with MRFs.

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 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.

Purpose: Radiation-induced dermatitis (RD) is a common side-effect of therapeutic ionizing radiation that can severely affect patient quality of life. This study aimed to develop a risk prediction model for the occurrence of RD in patients with cervical carcinoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy using electronic medical records (EMRs). Methods: Using EMRs, the clinical data of patients who underwent simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy at a tertiary cancer hospital between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into two groups: a training group and a validation group. A predictive model was constructed to predict the development of RD in patients who underwent concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer. Finally, the model's efficacy was validated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: The incidence of radiation dermatitis was 89.5% (560/626) in the entire cohort, 88.6% (388/438) in the training group, and 91.5% (172/188) in the experimental group. The nomogram was established based on the following factors: age, the days between the beginning and conclusion of radiotherapy, the serum albumin after chemoradiotherapy, the use of single or multiple drugs for concurrent chemotherapy, and the total dose of afterloading radiotherapy. Internal and external verification indicated that the model had good discriminatory ability. Overall, the model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of .66. Conclusions The risk of RD in patients with cervical carcinoma undergoing chemoradiotherapy is high. A risk prediction model can be developed for RD in cervical carcinoma patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy, based on over 5 years of EMR data from a tertiary cancer hospital.
