Objective:To investigate the efficacy and influencing factors of initial 131I therapy in serum thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody (TgAb)-positive patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 1 624 patients with PTC who underwent 131I therapy in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital between January 2017 and January 2023. The patients were divided into TgAb-positive group (246 cases (36 males, 210 females), age: 43.5(31.0, 52.0) years) and TgAb-negative group (1 378 cases (439 males, 939 females), age: 44.0(34.0, 53.0) years). The efficacy was evaluated 6-12 months post 131I therapy based on serological tests (TgAb, Tg) and imaging results (ultrasonography, CT, 131I-whole body scan (WBS), SPECT/CT imaging), and the patients were divided into disease persistence/recurrence and non-persistence/recurrence groups. The χ2 test was used to analyze the difference in efficacy between the TgAb-positive group and the TgAb-negative group. Among TgAb-positive patients, the clinical characteristics of disease persistence/recurrence group were compared with those of non-persistence/recurrence ones by χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test, and the independent risk factors affecting the efficacy of 131I therapy were analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results:The disease persistence/recurrence were found in 38 cases (15.4%, 38/246) of the TgAb-positive group and 143 cases (10.4%, 143/1 378) of the TgAb-negative group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=5.42, P=0.020). Among the TgAb-positive patients, statistically significant differences were found in lymph node metastasis (35 vs 23 cases), the interval between surgery and 131I therapy (2.0(1.5, 3.0) vs 2.3(2.0, 3.0) months), stimulated Tg(sTg) level before the initial 131I therapy (0.18(0.04, 5.78) vs 0.04(0.04, 0.46) μg/L), and TgAb level before the initial 131I therapy (40.15(19.13, 156.15) vs 22.25(7.53, 76.20) kU/L) between disease persistence/recurrence group and non-persistence/recurrence group ( χ2=117.13, z values: -2.29, -2.41, -2.80, all P<0.05). Lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor (odds ratio( OR)=89.326, 95% CI: 25.005-319.106, P<0.001) for the efficacy of 131I therapy in patients with TgAb-positive PTC. Conclusion:The overall efficacy of 131I therapy in patients with TgAb-positive PTC is relatively poor, and lymph node metastasis is an independent risk factor for the efficacy of 131I therapy, while the level of TgAb is not an independent risk factor for the efficacy of 131I therapy in these patients.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the common complications of diabetes. The disease has a long course with nerve pain and other symptoms, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. DPN is related to high glucose in vivo, inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy, involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and other signaling pathways. At present, the treatment of DPN mainly focuses on symptomatic treatments such as blood glucose control and neurotrophic therapy, but the effect is not ideal. Therefore, it is particularly important to select a reasonable and effective drug to prevent and treat DPN. In recent years, Chinese medicine has played an important role in the treatment of DPN. Many studies have explored the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the treatment of DPN, and it has been found that some Chinese medicine monomers and compounds can regulate signaling pathways to prevent and treat DPN. This paper reviewed the research results of signaling pathways involved in DPN and the regulation of related pathways by Chinese medicine, aiming to provide references for the clinical treatment of DPN.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease in the middle-aged and elderly. The incidence of KOA is rising as the population aging aggravates and the obese population grows. KOA seriously affects the health and daily life of the patients. The commonly used drugs for the symptomatic treatment of KOA include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cartilage protective drugs, and opioid analgesics, which have limited therapeutic effects and induce obvious adverse drug reactions. Eucommiae Cortex is one of the commonly used Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of KOA, while its pharmacological material basis and mechanism remain unclear, which limits its clinical application. The active ingredients of Eucommiae Cortex for treating KOA mainly include iridoids (geniposide, aucubin), lignans (pinoresinol diglucoside), flavonoids (quercetin, astragaloside, baicalein, hyperoside, and kaempferol), phenylpropanoids (chlorogenic acid), and polysaccharides. These compounds regulate the levels of inflammatory cytokines, inhibit oxidative stress, protect chondrocytes, balance the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix, and control the progression of KOA via the mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor-κB, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B, and Janus kinase 1/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling pathways. This paper introduces the mechanisms of Eucommiae Cortex and its active components in the treatment of KOA, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new drugs for KOA.

Objective:To summarize the clinical feature of functional distant metastasis (DM) of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and observe the efficacy of 131I treatment. Methods:Between August 2008 and January 2021, a total of 13 DTC patients (4 males, 9 females; age 26-75 years) with functional DM from Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data of patients were collected, including pathological type, metastasis size, metastasis location, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) before the first 131I treatment. Efficacy of 131I treatment in patients with functional DM-DTC was evaluated by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and thyroglobulin (Tg). Complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR) were considered as effective. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the maximum diameter change of metastatic lesions before and after 131I treatment. Results:Among 13 DM-DTC patients, 8 were follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), 5 were papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Metastasis lesions were mainly located in lungs ( n=12) and bones ( n=6). There were 12 patients with maximum metastasis diameter ≥1 cm, and 3 patients with TSH≥30 mU/L before the first 131I treatment. Nine patients were assessed as PR by RECIST 1.1, 3 patients were assessed as CR by RECIST 1.1 and the value of Tg, and 1 patient was assessed as PR by the changing of Tg. The effective rate of 131I treatment for patients with functional DM-DTC was 13/13. The maximum metastasis diameter was significantly decreased after 131I treatment (2.6(1.6, 3.3) vs 1.2(0.1, 2.2) cm; z=-3.06, P=0.002). Conclusion:Patients with functional DM-DTC are characterized by high proportion of FTC and the maximum metastasis diameter ≥1 cm, low proportion of TSH ≥30 mU/L before the first 131I treatment, and high effective rate of 131I treatment.

Objective:To explore the effect of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management on cancer patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 106 cancer patients in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. According to the admission time, the patients were divided into two groups. A total of 51 patients admitted from January to December 2019 were selected as the control group, while 55 patients admitted from January to December 2020 were selected as the research group. The control group was given routine nutrition intervention, while the research group was given nurse-led multidisciplinary nutrition management on the basis of the control group. Nutritional grading and Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Core Module (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. The target achievement of nutritional management and the occurrence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions were counted.Results:After intervention, nutrition of the research group was better than that of the control group and EORTC QLQ-C30 score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The achievement rate of nutrition management goals in the research group was 67.27% (37/55) , higher than 39.22% (20/51) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions in the research group was 3.64% (2/55) , lower than 17.65% (9/51) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The implementation of nurse-led multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition management in cancer patients can improve their nutritional status and quality of life, increase the rate of achieving nutritional management goals and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between lumbar bone mineral density (BMD), musculoskeletal perfusion andmuscle mass.Methods:From May 2019 to August 2020, totally 91 patients who applied for CT perfusion (CTP) examination of abdomen (the scan range included the vertebral body of L1-L3) in Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University were retrospectively analyzed. The mean BMD of L1-L3 vertebral body was measured by quantitative CT (QCT) at the same time of CT plain scan. According to BMD, the subjects were divided into normal BMD group ( n=33), osteopenia group ( n=41) and osteoporosis (OP) group ( n=17). The L3 level perivertebral muscle mass index and fat fraction were calculated based on QCT examination. The lumbar vertebral and perivertebral muscle perfusion parameters were measured based on CTP images. The parameters of QCT and CTP among three groups were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H test or one-way ANOVA. The correlation analysis was conducted between these parameters using Pearson or Spearman analysis. Results:The differences of the perivertebral muscle mass index and fat fraction among three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The differences of the lumbar vertebral perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV) and flow extraction product (FE) among three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05), and BF, BV and FE were positively correlated with BMD ( r=0.444, 0.312 and 0.266 respectively, all P<0.05; adjusted for age and gender r=0.437, 0.340 and 0.337 respectively, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in perivertebral muscle perfusion parameters among three groups ( P>0.05). Perivertebral muscle mass index was negatively correlated with fat fraction ( r=-0.599, P<0.001; adjusted for age and gender r=-0.404, P<0.001), and there was no correlation between perivertebral muscle mass index and muscle perfusion parameters, as well as perivertebral muscle fat fraction and muscle perfusion parameters. Conclusions:With the changes of BMD, bone mass and perivertebral muscle mass at L3 level are synchronous. Decreased vertebral bone mass is accompanied with reduced perivertebral muscle mass, increased muscle fat and decreased bone perfusion. The changes of vertebral perfusion and perivertebral muscle perfusion at L3 level are asynchronous, which implies that reduced perfusion in OP patients may be confined to the bone.

Objective:To prepare 68Ga-2-(4, 7-bis(carboxymethyl)-1, 4, 7-triazonan-1-yl)pentanedioic acid (NODAGA)-YHWYGYTPQNVI (GE11) and evaluate its feasibility of PET imaging for pancreatic cancer. Methods:GE11 peptide was conjugated with NODAGA and then labeled with 68Ga. The labeling yield, radiochemical purity, hydrophilicity, stability and specificity in vitro were determined. Human pancreatic cancer BxPC3 nude mice models ( n=9) were established. MicroPET imaging was then obtained after 30 and 90 min, and mice were sacrificed at 90 min to acquire the radioactivity distribution of main organs and tumors. Pair t test was used to analyze the data. Results:The labeling yield was (73.5±5.4)% and radiochemical purity was more than 98%. After incubation 120 min in mouse serum at 37 ℃, radiochemical purity was more than 92%. The uptake was specific in BxPC3 cell lines. MicroPET images showed that 68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 could accumulate quickly in tumor. Value of tumor uptake was significantly higher than that of normal pancreas at 90 min ((1.38±0.25) vs (0.49±0.07) %ID/g; t=12.67, P<0.05), and the radio-uptake of blood, muscle and bone was lower than that of tumor. Conclusions:68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 is easy to be prepared with high radiochemical purity and good stability, and can specifically target BxPC3 xenograft tumor. However, due to the high uptake in the kidneys and liver, the value of 68Ga-NODAGA-GE11 in PET imaging for pancreatic tumor needs further study.

Objective:To explore the effect of the discharge preparation plan based on community linkage in the out-of-hospital continuous nursing of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 206 COPD patients hospitalized in the Respiratory Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 103 cases in each group. The control group received routine management of COPD, and the observation group implemented a community-linked discharge preparation plan on the basis of the control group, and carried out a six-month intervention. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) score, body mass index, degree of airflow obstruction, dyspnea and exercise capacity (BODE) index, and the patient readmission rate during the intervention period were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group were lower than those of the control group. Except for cough and sputum, the differences in the other items and total scores were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group after intervention were lower than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The dimension scores and total score of the PACIC of the observation group after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, and were higher than those of the control group after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The BODE index score of the observation group after intervention was lower than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The readmission rate in the observation group within six months was 13.59% (14/103) , which was lower than 31.07% (32/103) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=9.068, P=0.003) . Conclusions:The discharge preparation plan based on community linkage can improve the quality of life and lung function of COPD patients, increase the patient's recognition of chronic disease management, reduce the rate of hospital readmission, and achieve the overall quality improvement in continuous nursing of patients.
