Objective:To develop a homogeneous management evaluation system for clinical observership teaching under the background of national first-class discipline construction.Methods:The preliminary contents of the assessment system were determined through a literature review and expert interviews, and two rounds of questionnaire-based consultation was conducted with 20 experts using the Delphi method. With the use of Excel 2016 and SPSS 26.0, we calculated the coefficient of judgement basis (Ca), the coefficient of familiarity (Cs), the coefficient of authority (Cr), and Kendall's coefficient of concordance ( W ) as well as the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of all parameters, to identify the specific items and weights for the homogeneous management evaluation system for clinical observership teaching under the background of national first-class discipline construction. Results:In the two rounds of consultation, experts were both 100.00% active in responding to the questionnaires; the coefficients of authority of experts were 0.889 and 0.935, respectively; the coefficients of familiarity were 0.856 and 0.936, respectively; the coefficients of judgment were 0.922 and 0.934, respectively; and Kendall's coefficients of concordance were 0.476 and 0.563, respectively. Finally, 7 first-level items and 21 second-level items were included in the content framework of the homogeneous management evaluation system.Conclusions:The construction process of the homogeneous management evaluation system of clinical observership teaching is complete and reliable, which can provide a reference for the homogeneous management of clinical observership teaching, but further verification and improvement are needed.

Objective:To analyze the clinic effects of arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy and suture button suspensionplasty in the treatment of first carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) Eaton stage II/III arthrosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on a total of 15 cases (16 hands) of patients including 5 males (1 bilateral) and 10 females with CMCJ stage II/III arthrosis who underwent surgical treatment at the first affiliated hospital of Shenzhen university from January 2020 to June 2022, with mean age of 56.7±6.4 years (range, 46-75 years). The duration from pain to treatment was 7.8±3.2 months (range, 4-14 months). X-ray showed narrowing of CMCJ with osteophytes and distal radial subluxation. All the patients were treated with arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy and suture button suspensionplasty. The preoperative and last postoperative follow-up radiographs, visual analogue scale (VAS), thumb's Kapandji scores, disabilies of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) scores, grip and pinch strength and time to return to work were compared.Results:All cases were followed up for 19.6±6.3 months (range, 11-36 months). The postoperative X-ray showed all the CMCJs were reduced with a normal height of first metacarpal. The mean time for patients to return to their daily activities was 18.69±3.70 d and the mean time to return to work was 24.63±4.91 d. The average VAS score decreased from 6.56±1.15 preoperatively to 1.00 (0.75, 1.25). The preoperative Kapandji's score was 8.00±0.82 and the postoperative Kapandji's score was 8.00 (7.25, 9.00). The average DASH values improved from 24.06±3.19 to 4.00 (3.00, 5.00). The were significant differences except for Kapandji score ( Z=-4.905, P<0.001; Z=-0.121, P=0.905; Z=-4.846, P<0.001). The mean grip and pinch strength showed improvement from an average of 16.4 (14.13, 18.68) kg and 1.70±0.35 kg to 26.14±3.27 kg and 3.58±0.91 kg with significant difference ( Z=-4.617, P<0.001; t=-7.669, P<0.001). Conclusion:Arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy and suture button suspensionplasty is a minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of first CMCJ Eaton stage II/III arthrosis. By this technique, the patients' existing instability and pain problems can be solved.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of anti-Sj?gren′s syndrome type A antibody(SSA)and anti-Sj?gren′s syndrome type B antibody(SSB)in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM)and IIM associated interstitial disease(ILD).Methods A total of 102 patients with IIM were selected.The general information,clinical manifestations and auxiliary examinations were collected.Their positive rates of anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies in IIM patients were analyzed.IIM patients were divided into the SS antibody negative group(73 patients)and the SS antibody positive group(29 patients)according to the results of anti SSA and SSB antibody tests.The clinical significance of anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies in IIM and IIM related ILD was analyzed.Results Compared with patients in the SS antibody positive group,patients in the SS antibody negative group were more likely to experience dry mouth,increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and increased immunoglobulin A(IgA)levels(P＜0.05).The general situation score of the MDAAT(myositis disease activity assessment tool)was significantly higher in the SS antibody positive group than that in the SS antibody negative group(P＜0.05),and there were no significant differences in scores of other MDAAT items between the two groups(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the positive rate of myositis autoantibodies,recurrence rate,hormone therapy and immunosuppressive therapy between the two groups(P＞0.05).The proportion of patients treated with intravenous human immunoglobulin was higher in the SS antibody positive group than that of the SS antibody negative group(P＜0.05).Non-specific interstitial pneumonia(NSIP)was the most type of ILD in both the SS antibody negative group and the positive group,followed by usual interstitial pneumonia(UIP).Patients with IIM who were positive for anti-SSA/SSB antibodies were more likely to progress to the overlapping syndrome of combined SS.Conclusion Positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies in IIM patients are associated with dry mouth symptoms,and anti-SSA/SSB antibodies may become one of the important laboratory indicators for judging patient conditions and predicting disease outcomes.

Objective By investigating the effects of miR-379-5p on the proliferation,invasion and metastasis of mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells,we aimed to provide new therapeutic targets for the clinical inhibition of breast cancer proliferation,invasion,and metastasis.Methods After plasmid transfection,4T1 cells were utilized to detect the expression of miR-379-5p using fluorescence quantitative PCR.While 5-ethynyl-2'doxyuridine(EdU)cell proliferation and Transwell assays were employed to detect changes in the proliferation and invasion ability of 4T1 cells in each group.The migration ability of 4T1 cells after overexpression and knockdown of miR-379-5p was examined by scratch healing assay.A transplanted tumor model of breast cancer was established in BABL/c mice,and the effects of overexpressing miR-379-5p on tumor growth and the number and size of lung metastases were observed.Results EdU result showed that knocking down miR-379-5p enhanced the proliferation ability of the cells compared with the control group cells,and miR-379-5p overexpression reduced the capacity of breast cancer cells to proliferate(P＜0.05).Transwell and wound healing assays showed that miR-379-5p knockdown enhanced,while miR-379-5p overexpression significantly inhibited,the invasion and migratory ability of breast cancer cells(P＜0.01).An in vivo tumorigenesis experiment with BABL/c mice showed that miR-379-5p overexpression significantly slowed the tumor growth rate(P＜0.05)and inhibited lung metastasis(P＜0.01).Conclusions MiR-379-5p plays a role in tumor gene suppression in breast cancer and inhibits the proliferation,invasion,and migration of mouse breast cancer 4T1 cells.

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of non-small cell lung cancer, and any change of miRNAs expression will affect the degree of target regulation, thus affecting intracellular homeostasis. This study verified that miR-186-5p could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of LUAD cells by regulating PRKAA2. METHODS: Previous investigations found that the expression of miR-186-5p was markedly suppressed in LUAD. Bioinformatics method is used to predict the target protein related to ferroptosis downstream and inquire about its expression level in LUAD and its influence on the survival of patients. Double luciferase verified the binding site of PRKAA2 and miR-186-5p. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of PRKAA2. The effects of miR-186-5p of LUAD cells as well as the mechanism by which miR-186-5p inhibits Fer-1's sensitivity to ferroptosis were confirmed by EdU, Transwell, and scratch assays. The effect of miR-186-5p on the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in LUAD cells was discovered using ROS experiment. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) experiments were used to detect the effects of miR-186-5p and PRKAA2 on ferroptosis index of LUAD cells. The concentration of lipid ROS (L-ROS) in LUAD cells were measured using the L-ROS tests to determine the effects of miR-186-5p and PRKAA2. RESULTS: The expression of PRKAA2 is up-regulated, and a high level of PRKAA2 expression was associated with a poor prognosis for patients with LUAD. Overexpression of miR-186-5p decreased the gene and protein expression of PRKAA2. By promoting ferroptosis, miR-186-5p overexpression prevented lung cancer cells from proliferating, invading, and migrating. ROS could be produced in higher amounts in LUAD cells due to miR-186-5p. Overexpression of miR-186-5p and knockdown PRKAA2 up-regulated MDA content and reduced GSH content in LUAD cells, respectively. miR-186-5p could increase the content of L-ROS and promote the ferroptosis sensitivity of LUAD cells by targeting PRKAA2. CONCLUSIONS miR-186-5p promotes ferroptosis of LUAD cells through targeted regulation of PRKAA2, thus inhibiting the proliferation, invasion and migration of LUAD.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in middle-aged and elderly patients with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Methods:The randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the effect of inspiratory muscle training in middle-aged and elderly patients with OSA were collected using the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang database, the time was from the construction of the database to December 2020. The literature quality was evaluated and data were extracted from the included literature. RevMan5.3 software was used to analyze the collected data.Results:A total of 8 RCTs were included. Meta-analysis showed that inspiratory muscle training could reduce apnea hypopnea index(AHI)( P<0.05), Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)( P<0.01) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PQSI)( P<0.01), but had no effect on lowest oxygen saturation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Inspiratory muscle training is a safe and feasible training method that can decrease AHI, ESS and PSQI in middle-aged and elderly patients with OSA.

A case of limbic encephalitis with positive anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 protein (LGI1) antibody and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody was reported. The patient was a middle-aged male with a history of retinal vein occlusion. The main symptoms were temporal lobe epilepsy, facial arm dystonia, autonomic nerve dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging showed long T 2 signal in the right hippocampus without enhancement and normal perfusion. Electroencephalogram showed paroxysmal slow wave and sharp slow wave in interictal period. Blood anti-MOG antibody, blood and cerebrospinal fluid anti-LGI1 antibody were double positive. The main diagnosis was limbic encephalitis. After treatment with hormone and gamma globulin, the symptoms were improved and double antibodies were turned negative. Anti-LGI1/MOG double positive cases are rare, and the clinical manifestations and imaging manifestations of double positive antibody cases are not completely consistent with those with each single antibody, with different characteristics. This report can help clinicians enhance awareness.

Motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are non-stationary time series with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, the single-channel EEG analysis method is difficult to effectively describe the interaction characteristics between multi-channel signals. This paper proposed a deep learning network model based on the multi-channel attention mechanism. First, we performed time-frequency sparse decomposition on the pre-processed data, which enhanced the difference of time-frequency characteristics of EEG signals. Then we used the attention module to map the data in time and space so that the model could make full use of the data characteristics of different channels of EEG signals. Finally, the improved time-convolution network (TCN) was used for feature fusion and classification. The BCI competition IV-2a data set was used to verify the proposed algorithm. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively improve the classification accuracy of motor imagination EEG signals, which achieved an average accuracy of 83.03% for 9 subjects. Compared with the existing methods, the classification accuracy of EEG signals was improved. With the enhanced difference features between different motor imagery EEG data, the proposed method is important for the study of improving classifier performance.

Cachexia is a common complication in patients with lung cancer. It aggravates the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy, hinders the treatment plan, weakens the responsiveness of chemotherapy, reduces the quality of life, increases complications and mortality, and seriously endangers the physical and mental health of patients with lung cancer. The causes and pathogenesis of tumor cachexia are extremely complex, which makes its treatment difficult and complex. Controlling cachexia in lung cancer patients requires many means such as anti-tumor therapy, inhibition of inflammatory response, nutritional support, physical exercise, and relief of symptoms to exert the synergistic effect of multimodal therapy against multiple mechanisms of tumor cachexia. To date, there has been a consensus within the discipline that no single therapy can control the development of cachexia. Some therapies have made some progress, but they need to be implemented in combination with multimodal therapy after fully assessing the individual characteristics of lung cancer patients. This article reviews the application of drug therapy and nutritional support in lung cancer patients, and looks forward to the research direction of cachexia control in lung cancer patients.

All patients had unilateral injury. Physical examination showed instability of the distal radioulnar joint, and MRI and arthroscopy confirmed deep ligament injury of TFCC. All patients underwent repair of deep insertion of the TFCC by using wrist arthroscopic transosseous footprint. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, wound healing and postoperative complications were recorded. The flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist, radial and ulnal deviation of the wrist, rotation range of motion of the forearm, patient related wrist evaluation (PRWE) score, modified Mayo wrist score, visual analogue scale (VAS), and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side were compared preoperatively, at 3 months postoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(13.4±5.2)months]. The operation time was (61.3±8.9)minutes, with the intraoperative blood loss of (2.4±1.2)ml. All wounds were healed by first intension. There was no wound infection or ulnar nerve irritation symptom after operation. Four patients experienced clicking on the ulnar side of the wrist in a short period of time post-operation, with spontaneous disappearance of the symptom. At 3 months postoperatively, the radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist was decreased from (52.5±5.9)° preoperatively to (42.6±5.9)°, and rotation range of motion of the forearm was decreased from (94.9±8.4)°preoperatively to (84.6±5.9)° (all P<0.01). The flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist was (93.1±17.4)° preoperatively, with insignificant difference compared with (89.4±5.8)° at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the flexion and extension range of motion of the wrist, radial and ulnar deviation range of motion of the wrist, and rotation range of motion of the forearm were significantly increased to (101.3±13.6)°, (52.4±6.6)°, and (116.4±16.4)° when compared with those at 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.01). At 3 months postoperatively, the PRWE score was increased to (17.1±3.8)points from (10.6±3.2)points preoperatively ( P<0.01), modified Mayo wrist score was decreased to (70.3±6.7) points from (78.1±12.7)points preoperatively ( P<0.01), VAS was decreased to (4.4±1.7)points from (6.2±1.5)points preoperatively ( P>0.05), and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side was decreased to (55.7±8.7)% from (74.4±15.2)% preoperatively ( P<0.01). At 1 year postoperatively, the PRWE score was increased to (2.0±0.9)points, modified Mayo wrist score was increased to (94.8±3.3)points, VAS was decreased to (2.1±1.1)points, and percentage of grip strength between the affected side and unaffected side was increased to (93.2±8.7)% when compared with those at 3 months postoperatively (all P<0.01).
