Objective:To evaluate the guiding value of ultrasound-guided selective nerve root block in the surgical treatment of multilevel lumbar degeneration.Methods:Retrospective case-control study was used. Clinical data of 47 patients with multi-level lumbar degeneration who underwent decompression surgery in Honghui Hospital, Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into nerve root block group ( n=22)and non-nerve root block group( n=25) according to whether ultrasound-guided selective nerve root block was performed before decompression surgery. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of decompression laminae, postoperative drainage volume and length of stay of the two groups were recorded and compared. The visual analogue scale of low back pain, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of leg pain, the Japanese orthopaedic association (JOA) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were all compared before surgery and during follow-up between the two groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as mean±standard deviation( ± s), and the comparison between groups was conducted using the paired t-test. Chi-square test was used for counting data. Results:All 47 patients successfully completed the operation without any serious complications such as neurovascular injury. All patients were followed up for (27.6±7.5)months. In the nerve root block group, the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of decompression laminae, postoperative drainage volume and hospital stay were (90.5±12.6) min, (110.5±15.8) mL, 1.2±0.8, (85.6±15.8) mL, (6.2±2.8) d, respectively. In the non-root block group, they were (190.6±25.5) min, (450.5±24.8) mL, 3.8±1.6, (210.5±16.8) mL, (9.5±2.2) d, respectively. The above indexes in the nerve root closure group were less than those in the non-root closure group, and the difference was significant between the two groups ( P< 0.05). The scores of VAS of low back pain and leg pain, JOA and ODI in both groups were significantly improved after surgery and during the follow-up period when compared with those of pre-operation ( P< 0.05). The VAS scores of low back pain on the 3rd day, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the nerve block group were 3.2±1.4, 1.4±0.8, 0.5±0.2, the JOA scores were 15.8±4.3, 21.3±5.6, 25.6±1.4, and the ODI scores were 50.6±10.3, 22.8±7.8, 16.8±4.2, respectively. The VAS scores of low back pain on the 3rd day, 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the non-nerve block group were 5.1±1.8, 3.4±1.2, 1.8±0.5, the JOA scores were 14.1±4.8, 20.5±3.2, 24.2±1.8, and the ODI scores were 60.5±9.8, 31.6±8.2 and 21.3±5.5, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, there was no statistical difference in the VAS scores of leg pain between the two groups after surgery and during follow-up ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the internal fixation position of the two groups was good, no loosening and displacement, and bone graft fusion was good. Conclusion:For patients with multi-level lumbar degeneration, ultrasound-guided selective nerve root block before surgery can identify the responsible segment, and selective decompression and fusion based on this can effectively reduce surgical trauma, while improving patients′ back and leg pain and physical function, which has important surgical guidance value.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative impact of closure of mesenteric fissure in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. The clinical data of 320 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University et al, from November 2022 to August 2023 were selected. Based on block randomization, patients were alloca-ted into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group. Observa-tion indicators: (1) grouping of the enrolled patients; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) postopera-tive conditions. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represen-ted as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Comparison of visual analog scores was analyzed using generalized estimating equations. Results:(1) Grouping of the enrolled patients. A total of 320 patients with colon cancer were screened for eligibility, including 156 males and 164 females, aged 68(59,73)years. All the 320 patients were allocated into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group with 164 cases and the mesenteric fissure closure group with 156 cases. There was no significant difference in the age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, maximum tumor diameter, anastomosis location, anastomosis method, surgical approach, range of lymph node dissection, tumor staging between the two groups ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in the sex between them ( P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, conversion to laparotomy, intraoperative complication ( P>0.05). Three patients in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group were converted to laparotomy. One patient in the mesenteric fissure closure group was converted to laparotomy, and 2 cases with intraoperative complication were mesenteric hematoma. (3) Postoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group in the overall postoperative complications ( χ2=0.28, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, abdominal distension, ascites, pleural effusion, gastric paralysis, anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic leakage, or surgical wound infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the reoperation, postoperative gastric tube replacement. There was no significant differ-ence in time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, time to post-operative resumption of bowel movements, duration of postoperative hospital stay, total hospital expenses between the two groups ( Z=-0.01, 0.43, 1.04, -0.54, -0.36, P>0.05). One patient in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group received reoperation. No perioperative internal hernia or death occurred in either group. The visual analog score decreased with time in both groups. There was no significant difference in the visual analog score between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group [ β=-0.20(-0.53,0.13), P>0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with closure of mesenteric fissure, non-closure of mesenteric fissure during laparoscopic right hemi-colectomy dose not increase perioperative complications or postoperative management risk.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of consolidation chemotherapy after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy in stage Ⅲ-ⅣA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 139 patients with stage Ⅲ-ⅣA ESCC who underwent radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022 in Hefei Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Sciences were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a control group ( n=85) and a consolidation chemotherapy group ( n=54) based on whether they underwent consolidation chemotherapy after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) between the two groups were compared. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and log-rank tests were conducted. The Cox proportional risk model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:The ORR of the control group and the consolidation chemotherapy group were 44.71% (38/85) and 66.67% (36/54), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.54, P=0.018) ; the DCR were 70.59% (60/85) and 87.04% (47/54), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.04, P=0.025). The median PFS of the two groups of patients were 9.0 and 13.1 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=12.74, P<0.001) ; the median OS were 15.0 and 20.6 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=24.75, P<0.001). The median OS of ESCC patients in two subgroups of cT 3-4N 1-3M 0 were 16.0 and 30.8 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=23.49, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that tumor length ( HR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.04-2.36, P=0.032), objective response ( HR=0.08, 95% CI: 0.04-0.17, P<0.001), and consolidation chemotherapy ( HR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.20-0.51, P<0.001) were all influencing factors for OS in ESCC patients undergoing radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy in stages Ⅲ-ⅣA. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor length ( HR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.05-2.43, P=0.030), objective response ( HR=0.05, 95% CI: 0.02-0.10, P<0.001), and consolidation chemotherapy ( HR=0.22, 95% CI: 0.13-0.36, P<0.001) were all independent influencing factors for OS in stage Ⅲ-ⅣA ESCC patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In terms of safety, the consolidation chemotherapy group experienced 7 adverse reactions mainly gastrointestinal reaction and leukopenia, including 5 cases of grade 1-2 and 2 cases of grade 3-4; 22 cases of adverse reactions occurred in the control group including 16 cases of grade 1-2 and 6 cases of grade 3-4 mainly including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia and digestive tract reaction. The incidence rates of adverse reactions in the two groups were 12.96% (7/54) and 25.88% (22/85), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=3.34, P=0.068) . Conclusion:After radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy can significantly improve the prognosis of stage Ⅲ-ⅣA ESCC patients, and the overall adverse reactions are controllable.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of secondary targeted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for the treatment of refracture of injured vertebrae after vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed on the clinical data of 25 patients with refracture of injured vertebrae after vertebral augmentation for OVCF admitted to Honghui Hospital, Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2019 to January 2022, including 10 males and 15 females, aged 62-86 years [(73.8±5.2)years]. The fractured segments involved T 10 in 1 patient, T 11 in 2, T 12 in 10, L 1 in 10 and L 2 in 2. All the patients were treated with secondary targeted PVP. The operation time and the amount of bone cement injected were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of lower back, Oswestry disability index (ODI), vertebral body index (VBI) and kyphotic angle (KA) were compared before surgery, at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. Odom criteria were used to evaluate the efficacy of the surgical procedure at the last follow-up. The intraoperative bone cement leakage and new vertebrae fracture during follow-up were observed. Results:All the patients were followed up for 23-59 months [(36.8±7.6)months]. The operation time was 35-60 minutes [(42.6±5.2)minutes], with the amount of bone cement injected for 3-5 ml [(3.6±0.8)ml]. The VAS scores of lower back at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were 3.1(2.0, 4.0)points, 1.7(1.0, 2.0)points and 0.6(0.0, 1.0)points respectively, significantly lower than 7.6(7.0, 9.0)points before surgery ( P<0.01), and a statistically singnificant decrease was found over follow-up time ( P<0.01). The ODI values at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were (49.5±5.9)%, (28.5±4.6)% and (19.2±4.8)% respectively, significantly lower than (78.8±6.8)% before surgery ( P<0.01), and a statistically singnificant decrease was found over follow-up time ( P<0.01). The VBI values at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were (76.6±4.5)%, (76.3±4.0)% and (76.1±3.8)% respectively, significantly higher than (58.9±5.8)% before surgery ( P<0.01), while there were no significant differences among those at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The KA values at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were (12.4±2.7)°, (12.6±2.5)° and (12.8±2.9)° respectively, significantly lower than (20.8±3.6)° before surgery ( P<0.01), while there were no significant differences among those at 1 day, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). According to the Odom criteria, 20 patients were rated excellent and 5 good at the last follow-up, with an excellent and good rate of 100%. Intraoperative asymptomatic bone cement leakage occurred in 3 patients (12%), including 2 with intervertebral leakage and 1 with lateral vertebral leakage. No adjacent vertebral body or other vertebral fracture was observed during the follow-up. Conclusions:For patients with refracture of injured vertebrae after vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the secondary targeted PVP has advantages of attenuation of the lower back pain, improvement of the quality of life, restoration of the height of refractured vertebrae, correction of the local kyphosis, and a low incidence of complications.

Objective:To explore the association between dietary patterns and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), so as to provide insights for the prevention and management of T2DM.Methods:Participants were recruited from the " The Tianjin Chronic Inflammation and Health Cohort Study(TCLSIH)" cohort study from 2013 to 2018, who had completed the modified semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire(FFQ) and blood glucose testing( n=26 425), free of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or diabetes at baseline. The relevant information collected includes food frequency, blood glucose concentration, and other confounding factors. In this study, the correlation between dietary patterns and T2DM was tested using Cox proportional risk regression model, and the gender stratification analysis and body mass index stratification analysis of different gender groups were carried out. All statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.3 software. Results:The age of all participants was (41.0±11.5)years, and the cumulative incidence was 3.84% for T2DM. The cumulative incidence of T2DM in male population was 5.29%, while that in female population was 2.16%. There were significant differences in the incidence of T2DM among different genders( P <0.001). The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios( HR) and corresponding 95% CI of T2DM across the plant-based dietary pattern score were 1.09(95% CI 0.91-1.31), 0.80(95% CI 0.66-0.97), and 0.76(95% CI 0.62-0.94; Ptrend =0.010). Moreover, no statistically significant differences were observed between animal and traditional northern Chinese diets with the incidence of T2DM. Conclusions:The plant-based dietary patterns were associated with substantially lower risk of developing T2DM, and there were no significant association between animal and traditional northern Chinese dietary patterns with T2DM. Plant-based dietary patterns characterized by a variety of fruit, leeks, onions, seaweed may be beneficial to the prevention and control of T2DM.

Objective:To investigate the value of SHOX2 and RASSF1A gene promoter region methylation detection for screening and diagnosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:The mRNA sequencing data of 471 lung adenocarcinoma patients and corresponding methylation data of 413 cases were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, the methylation levels of SHOX2 and RASSF1A gene promoter regions were calculated, and the difference in methy lation level between normal lung tissues and tumor tissues was analyzed. The clinical data of 54 patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma and 31 patients with benign lung tumors who underwent surgery at Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The methylation status of SHOX2 and RASSF1A in tumor tissues and normal lung tissues (>5 cm from the edge of the tumor foci) (called clinical samples) was detect, and a positive methylation in the promoter region of either gene was considered as a combination of two genes methylation positivity. Using pathological diagnosis as the gold standard, the efficacy of gene methylation positivity in diagnosing early-stage lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Patients with >80% of tumor cells in paraffin samples were screened, and mRNA high-throughput sequencing was performed in their tumor tissues and normal lung tissues. The relationship between positive methylation of the two genes and clinicopathological features was analyzed, and the correlation between the promoter region methylation level of the two genes and mRNA expression levels in clinical samples and TCGA database samples was analyzed by Spearman method. Gene set variance analysis (GSVA) method was used to analyze the differences in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment pathways between two-gene methylation-positive clinical lung adenocarcinoma samples and corresponding methylation-negative lung adenocarcinoma.Results:In TCGA database, the SHOX2 promoter region methylation island contained 6 sequenced methylation sites, of which sites cg04532033 and cg01557547 methylation levels were higher in lung adenocarcinoma tissues than in normal lung tissues (both P < 0.05); the RASSF1A gene promoter region methylation island contained 11 sequenced methylation sites, and the methylation levels of 6 of these sites in lung adenocarcinoma tissues were higher than those in normal lung tissues (all P < 0.05). Compared with normal lung tissues, the methylation level of SHOX2 promoter region was higher in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ lung adenocarcinoma tissues (both P < 0.05); the methylation level of RASSF1A promoter region was higher in all stages of lung adenocarcinoma ( P < 0.001). Among 54 patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, 28 were positive for SHOX2 promoter region methylation in tumor tissues, 21 were positive for RASSF1A promoter region methylation, and 40 were positive for combined methylation of both genes; 31 benign lung nodules were negative for SHOX2 and RASSF1A methylation. ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity of positive SHOX2 promoter region methylation for diagnosing early-stage lung adenocarcinoma was higher than that of RASSF1A promoter region methylation positivity (51.8% vs. 38.9%), and the area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosis by two-gene methylation positivity was larger than that for diagnosis by SHOX2 or RASSF1A gene methylation positivity alone (0.870 vs. 0.759 and 0.694). The circulating thresholds (Ct) of SHOX2 and RASSF1A methylation tested by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ lung adenocarcinoma were lower than those in normal lung tissues (all P < 0.05); patients with two-gene methylation positivity were characterized by older age, longer tumor longest diameter and more advanced pathological stage compared with patients with two-gene methylation negativity (all P < 0.05). In clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ lung adenocarcinoma samples, the Ct of SHOX2 and RASSF1A promoter region methylation tested by qRT-PCR was negatively correlated with their mRNA relative expression levels ( r=-0.43, P = 0.003; r = -0.48, P = 0.001); in TCGA database stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ lung adenocarcinoma samples, the level of SHOX2 promoter region methylation was negatively correlated with its mRNA relative expression level ( r = -0.23, P < 0.001), and the level of RASSF1A promoter region methylation was also negatively correlated with its mRNA relative expression level, but without statistical difference ( r = -0.05, P = 0.310). In two-gene promoter methylation-positive lung adenocarcinoma samples, the pathways related to folate metabolism and DNA stability were upregulated, and the pathways related to vasoconstriction and cell growth and differentiation were downregulated. Conclusions:The combined detection of SHOX2 and RASSF1A promoter region methylation can be used as an indicator for screening and diagnosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. Abnormal promoter region methylation of the two genes may affect multiple tumor-related pathways and promote the occurrence and progression of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the function and mechanism of ferroptosis in the radiation resistance of colorectal tumor-repopulating cells. Methods: Human colorectal tumor cells HCT116 (defined as Control cells) were cultured in two-dimensional normal conditions, and tumor regenerative cells with high tumorigenicity (defined as TRCs) were cultured and screened in three-dimensional fibrin soft gels by the mechanical force method. Both the control group and TRC group cells were exposed to X-rays with different doses (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy) and MTS and the clone formation assay were used tomeasure the cell viability rate and proliferation ability. After the Control cells and TRCs were treated with ferroptosis inducer (Erastin) and X-rays respectively, they were stained with C11-BODIPY reagent, and the lipid peroxidation level of the cells was observed and determined by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. qPCR was used to determine the effects of Erastin and X-rays treatments on the expressions of ferroptosis-related genes glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) in the Control cells and TRCs; WB assay was performed to determine the effects on the expressions of ferroptosis-related proteins GPX4 and ACSL4. Results: Colorectal TRCs with high stemness were cultured and screened out from soft fibrin gels. After irradiation with different doses (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy) of X-rays, the viability rate, the clone sizeand the number of clones in the control group were significantly lower than those in the TRC group (all P<0.05). After the cells in the control group were irradiated with different doses of X-rays (4, 8 Gy) and treated with Erastin, the lipid peroxidation level of the cells in the X-ray treated group was significantly higher than that in the untreated group (P<0.05). The lipid peroxidation level of the cells in the Erastin-treated group was significantly higher than that in the DMSO-treated group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference among all treatment subgroups in the TRC group (all P>0.05). The mechanism study indicated that compared with those in control cells, GPX4 and ACSL4 in TRCs under ferroptosis-inducing conditions (X-ray radiation and Erastin treatment) presented expressions that contributed more to radiation resistance, i.e., continued upregulation of GPX4 and downregulation of ACSL4 and their expressions were dependent on the doses of Erastin. Conclusion: Colorectal TRCs may resist ferroptosis through a high expression of GPX4 and a low expression of ACSL4, which in turn induces radiation resistance.

Objective:To observe the effect of edaravone dexborneol on anxiety and depression after stroke in rats, and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Totally 120 healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (sham), ischemia-reperfusion group (MCAO), edaravone group (Eda) and edaravone dexborneol group (ED) with 30 in each group.The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established by thread occlusion.Rats in ED group and Eda group were intraperitoneally injected with edaravone(8 mg·kg -1·d -1) and edaravone dexborneol(edaravone: 8 mg·kg -1·d -1, dexborneol: 2 mg·kg -1·d -1) respectively.And rats in the other two groups were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline.Some rats were killed after continuous administration for 3 days to detect molecular indexes, and the remaining rats were tested for behavior after continuous administration for 14 days.The levels of neclear factor κB(NF-κB)、phosphorylated NF-κB(p-NF-κB)、tumor necrosis α(TNF-α)、interleukin 1β(IL-1β) were detected by Western blot.The mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, cluster of differentiation 86(CD86), cluster of differentiation 206(CD206), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) were detected by RT-qPCR.M1 type microglia labeled with CD68, microglia labeled with ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba1) and neurons labeled with microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP2) were detected by immunofluorescence staining.The cerebral infarction volume was measured by TTC staining.Depression and anxiety behavior after stroke in rats was observed by the open field test and elevated plus maze test.SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data.One-way ANOVA was used for multiple group comparison, and LSD-t test was used for pairwise comparison. Results:(1) The behavioral results showed that 14 days after ischemia-reperfusion, the number of entering into the open arm, the time spent in the open arm, and the time spent in the central area of the open field in the MCAO group were lower than those in the sham group ( t=20.77, 6.02, 14.63, all P<0.05).

The level of CD206 mRNA in the peri-infarct cortex of the ED group (3.98±0.25) was higher than that in the MCAO group (2.00±0.11) ( t=7.08, P<0.05) and Eda group (3.17±0.09) ( t=3.25, P<0.05). (4) The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that the ratio of polarized M1 microglia in the peri-infarct cortex and striatum in the ED group ((20.36±9.23)%, (18.26±5.98)%)were lower than those in the MCAO group ( (83.69±12.79)%, (61.25±33.26)%) ( t=5.23, 3.02, both P<0.05) and Eda group((42.16±13.13)%, (40.23±14.22)%)( t=3.12, 2.08, both P<0.05). In addition, the number of neurons marked with MAP2 of peri-infarct cortex in the MCAO group was lower than that in the sham group( t=8.02, P<0.05), and the number of neurons marded with MAP2 of peri-infarct cortex in the ED group ((53.07±17.90) /scope) was higher than that in the MCAO group ( (26.27±9.95) /scope) ( t=6.89, P<0.05) and Eda group ( (38.69±12.03)/scope) ( t=5.26, P<0.05). (5) The results of TTC staining showed that the cerebral infarction volume in ED group ( (10.31±1.03)%) was lower than that in the MCAO group ( (34.71±1.74)%) ( t=15.31, P<0.05) and Eda group ( (26.05±1.00)%) ( t=9.88, P<0.05). Conclusion:Edaravone dexborneol can alleviate anxiety and depression in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, which may be related to the inhibition of M1 microglial polarization, the down-regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway and the enhancement of neuronal structural stability.
