ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of preoperative frailty on the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 435 pancreatic cancer patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Preoperative frailty was assessed using the FRAIL questionnaire. Binary logistics regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing frailty, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of frailty on survival. According to the demographic characteristics, subgroup analyses were performed on the effect of frailty on prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer with pancreaticoduodenectomy. ResultsAmong the 435 patients enrolled, 119 (27.4%) exhibited frailty, while 316 (72.6%) did not. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in various clinical parameters, including age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, postoperative red blood cell transfusion, postoperative abdominal abscess, serum levels of glycoantigens 199, glycoantigens 125, and alpha fetoprotein, leukocyte count, neutrophil, high density lipoprotein (HDL) level, and pain intensity (P<0.05). Advanced age and an ASA score of Ⅲ were identified as risk factors for frailty, whereas HDL level was a protective factor. Non-frail patients had better postoperative survival times than frail patients. HDL was determined to be an independent protective factor for prognosis, while LDL was an independent risk factor. ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that preoperative frailty is a significant predictor of poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.These findings suggest that preoperative frailty assessment and targeted interventions to improve nutritional and metabolic status could potentially enhance postoperative survival and quality of life in pancreatic cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of bergapten in the treatment of liver fibrosis and its mechanism based on serum metabolomics. METHODS Forty mice were divided into normal control group (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution), model group (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution), and BP low-dose and high-dose groups (50, 100 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, the other three groups were all treated with carbon tetrachloride to induce liver fibrosis model; they were given relevant medicine/solution intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 8 weeks. After the last medication, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum were detected, and liver pathological changes were observed; the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Collagen Ⅰ were detected in liver tissue; the serum of the mice was collected for metabolomics analysis. RESULTS Compared with the model group, serum levels of ALT and AST and protein expressions of α-SMA and Collagen Ⅰ in liver tissue were decreased significantly in BP high-dose and low-dose groups (P<0.05), while liver fibrosis was improved significantly. Meanwhile, metabolomics analyses showed that there were a total of 175 serum differential metabolites in the BP high-dose group and model group, of which 18 substances were upregulated and 157 substances were downregulated; the main metabolic pathways involved in bergapten intervention were pyrimidine metabolism, butanoate metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, tyrosine metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide metabolism, glutathione metabolism, etc. CONCLUSIONS BP is effective in the treatment of liver fibrosis by regulating pyrimidine metabolism, butanoate metabolism, glutathione metabolism and so on in rats with liver fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of a new teaching mode, which includes bridge-in, outcome, pre-test, participation, post-test and summary (BOPPPS), on the online teaching of radiobiology related knowledge for cancer radiotherapy practitioners.Methods:Taking the cell survival curve, cell cycle and radiosensitivity as examples, the radiotherapy practitioners in multiple university-affiliated hospitals were organized to carry out a multicenter prospective randomized control study. All practitioners were randomly divided into BOPPPS group and control group. The courses for BOPPPS group were designed as an online classroom, consisting of pre-class preparation, online teaching and post-class stages. The online teaching stage included video viewing, basic knowledge learning, literature discussion, group discussion and others. The control group employed the traditional teaching mode. The χ2 test was used to compare the consistency of general conditions between the two groups, and nonparametric test was used to compare the differences in scores between two or more groups. Results:The score of the pre-class test was 58.56 ± 0.99. Post-class average score for BOPPPS group was 85.48±0.85 and for control group 77.79±1.10, with the former being higher 7.69 ( Z=5.31, P<0.001) than the latter. The average answer time was (296.62±15.40) s for BOPPPS group and (386.41±21.27) s for control group, with the former being shorter 89.79 s ( Z=3.34, P=0.001) than latter. Subgroup analysis shown that the scores of BOPPPS group were significantly rising, regardless of whether or not the students had studied radiobiology courses. Among the students who have not studied these courses, the scores were rising greatly. Moreover, From the analysis of different positions, it was found that both the scores of BOPPPS group and control group have risen, especially for doctors, deputy chief doctors, physicists and technicians. There were also statistically differences between different degrees, with significantly rise in scores for undergraduate and doctoral students ( Z=3.64, 4.18, P<0.001). Conclusions:The flexible application of BOPPPS teaching mode to the online education of such boring disciplines, like radiobiology, is of great significance to raise the theoretical basis of radiotherapy practitioners.

Objective:To observe the effects of the periodontal subgingival scaling in different stages of standardized residency training of stomatology general medicine.Methods:Thirty residents in Affiliated Stomatology Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were recruited by stratified randomization and divided into three groups, including 1-month group, 3-month group and 6-month group. The residual ratio of clinical calculus was compared after periodontal subgingival scaling among groups. SPSS 23.0 was conducted for Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results:The mean residual ratio of clinical calculus in 3-month group and 6-month group were significantly lower than that in the 1-month group. In the 3-month group, the scaling could only achieve the effective results at the shallow pockets and anterior tooth area. Compared with the 1-month group, the 6-month group significantly decreased the residual ratio of clinical calculus for the sites with pocket depth of 4-6 mm, but there were still insufficiency to deal with the posterior tooth area.Conclusion:The 3-6 months residency training of periodontology could improve the effectiveness of the periodontal subgingival scaling. We should establish reasonable assessment and evaluation system according to different stages of residents, and the subgingival scaling training in the posterior areas and the distal interproximal sites should be reinforced in order to more effectively improve the quality of the standardized residency training.

Objective:To correlate homocysteine (Hcy) and blood lipid levels with neurological function in patients with progressive ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 400 patients with ischemic stroke who received treatment between June 2018 and June 2020 in Linhai Second People's Hospital were included in this study. Progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 126) and non-progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 274) groups were designated. Hcy level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cholesterol levels were measured using a biochemical analyzer. Hcy and blood lipid levels as well as National Institute Health of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were determined in each group. Hcy and blood lipid levels were correlated with NIHSS score. Results:Hcy level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(28.39 ± 4.36) μmol/L vs. (20.17 ± 3.24) μmol/L, t = 18.894, P < 0.05]. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , triacylglycerol and TC levels in the progressive ischemic stroke group were (3.29 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.08 ± 0.34) mmol/L and (4.82 ± 0.79) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(2.48 ± 0.37) mmol/L, (1.56 ± 0.29) mmol/L and (4.08 ± 0.43) mmol/L, t = 17.644, 14.859, 9.860, P < 0.05]. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly lower than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(1.03 ± 0.13) mmol/L vs. (1.19 ± 0.14) mmol/L, t =11.158, P < 0.05]. NIHSS score in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(21.72 ± 4.35) points vs. (15.52 ± 2.89) points, t = 14.582, P < 0.05]. Hcy, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were linearly and positively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = 0.846, 0.724, 0.718, 0.765, all P < 0.05), while igh-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was linearly and negatively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = -0.710, P < 0.05). Conclusion:In patients with progressive ischemic stroke, Hcy level is increased and blood lipid level is obviously abnormal. Hcy and blood lipid levels are greatly correlated with neurological function.
