Objective:To design and evaluate the application value of intracavitary-interstitial brachytherapy (IC-ISBT) applicator template for locally advanced cervical cancer.Methods:MRI data of 100 patients with ⅡB-ⅣA stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 staging system) before and after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) admitted to Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from March 2019 to September 2020 were collected. The range of primary cervical lesions was retrospectively analyzed and compared. Based on the residual mass of patients, the corresponding high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) was delineated, and the IC-ISBT applicator template was designed and initially applied to cervical cancer patients. Dosimetry analysis and efficacy evaluation were compared between the applicator template-guided ( n=37) and free-hand implantation groups ( n=63). Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was performed for categorical variables, and t-test or U-test for continuous variables. Results:The median distance between the residual tumor margin (clockwise 3, 6, 9, 12 o'clock) and the center of 100 patients with ⅡB-ⅣA stage cervical cancer after EBRT was 16.5, 14.0, 17.0 and 13.0 mm, respectively. The corresponding HR-CTV was superimposed to reconstruct the three-dimensional diagram, and the cylindrical IC-ISBT applicator template with mushroom-like head was designed and manufactured: the longest and shortest diameter of the head was 35 and 20 mm, respectively; the central channel was adapted to the uterine tube, the C1-C12 channels was arranged in inner circle, and the peripheral B1-B5 and A1-A4 pin channels were expanded bilaterally. In terms of dose coverage, there was no significant difference between the HR-CTV D 90% [(635.12±22.65) vs. (635.80±25.84) cGy], bladder D 2 cm3 [(473.79±44.78) vs. (463.55±66.43) cGy)], rectum D 2 cm3 [(396.99±73.54) vs. (408.00±73.94) cGy] and sigmoid colon D 2 cm3 [(293.07±152.72) vs. (311.31±135.77) cGy] between the template-guided and free-hand implantation groups (all P>0.05), but the HR-CTV D 98% was significantly higher [(544.78±32.07) vs. (536.78±32.04) cGy, P=0.007] and the rectum D 1 cm3 and D 0.1 cm3 were significantly lower [(438.62±69.65) vs. (453.97±67.89) cGy, P=0.016; (519.46±70.67) vs. (543.82±81.24) cGy, P=0.001] in the template-guided implantation group. In addition, there was no significant difference in the complete response rate between two groups (86% vs. 83%, P>0.05). Conclusions:This IC-ISBT applicator template is reasonably designed, and the therapeutic efficacy of the template-guided implantation is equivalent to that of free-hand implantation. The dose coverage of the target area meets the clinical demand with a better protection of the organs at risk. The applicator template has the potential to be widely used as a conventional template in clinical practice as the applicator-guided implantation is convenient to operate and repeat.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1(TRPV1) channel is a non-selective ligand-gated cationic channel with multiple activation mechanisms in the transient receptor potential subfamily. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that TRPV1 plays an important role in the field of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. With the in-depth study of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been found that Chinese medicine monomers and their active components can activate or inhibit TRPV1 channels, which has certain potential in the study of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, the role of TRPV1 channel in cardiovascular diseases and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases based on TRPV1 channel are reviewed, in order to provide new ideas for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases.

Objective:To explore the early clinical efficacy of ultrasound visualized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of lower back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) after sports injury.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with lower back MPS after sports injury, who were admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2023 to March 2023. Ultrasound-guided PRP injection into the erector spinalis or quadratus psoas muscles was used for treatment. Before treatment, at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment, pain and function were evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS), McGill pain questionnaire (McGill), Roland Morris dysfunction questionnaire (RMDQ), and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI). Before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment, the quality of life was evaluated using the short-form 36 item health survey questionnaire (SF-36). The adverse reactions were observed during treatment and follow-up.Results:A total of 32 patients with lower back MPS after sports injury were enrolled, including 10 males and 22 females; aged 12-68 years [(47.3±16.3)years]. All the patients were followed up for 4 weeks. Before and at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment, the VAS was 5.0(4.0, 6.0)points, 3.5(3.0, 4.8)points, 2.0(2.0, 3.0)points, and 2.0(1.3, 3.0)points, respectively; the McGill score was 9.0(7.0, 11.0)points, 7.0(5.0, 9.0)points, 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points, and 3.0(3.0, 5.0)points, respectively; the RMDQ score was 8.0(5.3, 10.8)points, 5.5(3.0, 8.0)points, 4.0(3.0, 5.8)points, and 3.0(2.0, 4.8)points, respectively; the ODI was 22.0(14.5, 30.0), 20.0(14.5, 25.5), 9.0(6.0, 16.0), and 8.0(4.5, 14.0), respectively. Compared with the values before treatment, the VAS, McGill score, and RMDQ score were significantly decreased at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05); the ODI had no significant difference at 24 hours after treatment ( P>0.05), but it was significantly decreased at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with the values at 24 hours after treatment, the VAS, McGill score, RMDQ score and ODI further decreased at 2 weeks after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with the values at 2 weeks after treatment, there was no significant difference in the VAS, McGill score, RMDQ score, or ODI at 4 weeks after treatment (all P>0.05). In the SF-36, the scores of physiological function [77.5(60.0, 93.8)points], physiological role [50.0(0.0, 100.0)points], body pain [64.0(44.5, 74.0)points], vitality [75.0(65.0, 78.8)points], social function [87.5(75.0, 100.0)points], emotional role [66.7(33.3, 100.0)points] and mental health [72.0(68.0, 83.0)points] before treatment were increased to 90.0(80.0, 98.8)points, 100.0(56.3, 100.0)points, 84.0(74.0, 84.0)points, 75.0(70.0, 80.0)points, 100.0(87.5, 112.5)points, 100.0(66.7, 100.0)points, and 76.0(68.0, 84.0)points after 4 weeks of treatment, respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the general health status or health changes before and after treatment (all P>0.05). During treatment and follow-up, no adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, pain, or subcutaneous bleeding were observed. Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PRP treatment can improve the early pain, lumbar mobility and quality of life of patients with lower back MPS after sports injury, with no presence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To analyze the trend of disease burden of rheumatoid arthritis in China from 1990 to 2019, and to provide scientific basis for formulating targeted prevention and treatment strategies of rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:Based on data of the global burden of disease study 2019 (GBD 2019), according to the number of people with the disease, the prevalence, incidence, disability adjusted life year (DALY) and DALY rate of RA were used to describe the disease burden of RA in China and the world from 1990 to 2019. Joinpoint model was used to analyze the average annual percentage change (AAPC) of age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized DALY rate of RA in China and the world from 1990 to 2019. The trend of disease burden of RA was analyzed.Results:In general, the standardized prevalence of RA in China and the world showed an upward trend from 1990 to 2019, and the age-standardized prevalence of RA in China increased by 0.18% per year on average ( t=7.34 , P=0.025). The global average annual increase was 0.27%, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.64, P=0.013). From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rate in China showed an average annual increase of 0.08%( t=7.54, P=0.032), while the standardized incidence rate in the world showed an average annual decrease of 0.37% ( t= -5.64, P=0.001). In 2019, the number of patients and prevalence of RA in China were 4.309.4 million and 302.98/100 000, respectively. The number of new cases and incidence of RA were 22.25 million and 15.64/100 000, respectively. Compared with 1990, in 2019, the number of patients and prevalence rate increased by 114.17% and 78.23%, the number of new cases and incidence rate increased by 77.90% and 48.05%, and DALY rate increased by 109.05% and 73.97%, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the prevalence rate, incidence rate and DALY rate of women were higher than those of men. Both the prevalence rate and DALY rate showed an increasing trend with age, with the highest in the age group of 75 years old and above. Conclusion:From 1990 to 2019, the standardized incidence rate of RA in China has more increase than that in the world, and the overall incidence and prevalence of RA in China are on the rise. The prevalence, incidence and DALY of RA varies among different populations in China. Women and middle-aged and elderly people are at high risk.

Objective:To explore the development trends, frontiers, and hotspots of research on early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases at home and abroad in the past 10 years, with a view to providing reference for the development of early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases in China.Methods:The article on early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases was systematically searched in the Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) . The search period was from January 1, 2012 to June 1, 2022. CiteSpace software was used to construct a visual graph of early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases in authoritative databases in both Chinese and English, for agency cooperation, author cooperation, keyword co-occurrence, and keyword clustering analysis.Results:A total of 349 articles were included, including 237 Chinese articles and 112 English articles. According to the search results of CNKI, there were 161 institutions publishing article related to early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases in China, among which the Nursing Department of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medicine School had the highest number of publications (4 articles) . The search results of the Web of Science showed that there were 160 institutions publishing article in this field, among which the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health in Australia in Australia had the highest number of publications (16 articles) . Foreign researchers mainly focused on the safety assessment and timing of early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases, while domestic research mainly focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of different rehabilitation methods on early rehabilitation for patients with severe neurological diseases.Conclusions:The research on early rehabilitation of patients with severe neurological diseases in foreign countries is more in-depth and comprehensive than in China, and there are more multi-center clinical studies, providing a high-level evidence for clinical decision-making. On the basis of existing research results, domestic scholars should focus on strengthening interdisciplinary and inter institutional cooperation, improving the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation, and fully leveraging the leading role of nurses while collaborating across multiple disciplines.

Objective:To understand the provision of preventive medicine curriculum system in the training programs of clinical medicine in the era of Healthy China.Methods:A total of 36 training programs of clinical medicine were selected from different areas of China for a statistical analysis on their basic information, involvement of concept of preventive medicine in program objectives, and provision of preventive medicine curriculum system.Results:Of all the 36 training programs of clinical medicine, 22(61%) have no mentions of prevention medicine in their program objectives; only one university’s training program states preventive medicine together with basic medicine and clinical medicine as one of the three main disciplines. The total class hours for the core courses of preventive medicine (hygiene, medical statistics, epidemiology, evidence-based medicine, and social medicine) range from 80 to 252, with an average of (156.7±43.2) hours. The average percentage of class hours for preventive medicine courses among the total class hours is 4.3%±1.1% (range: 2.5%-7.5%), and obvious differences exist among universities.Conclusions:In current training programs of clinical medicine, the proportion of prevention medicine curriculum is insufficient, the percentage of hours for preventive medicine course is very low, and the differences among various universities are obvious. It is urgently needed to strengthen preventive medicine curriculum in training programs for clinical medical students in new era. It is suggested to further promote the concept of putting prevention first, improve the curriculum system of clinical medicine, intensify the integrated development preventive medicine and clinical medicine and pay attention to clinical research ability enhancement for the further improvement of training program of clinical medicine.

Objective:To reduce the waiting time of patients reasonably by statistics and analysis of the waiting time of high-end medical outpatients and finding countermeasures.Methods:Through the hospital information system, the waiting time of 30 421 patients who were treated in International Department in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2019 to July 2019 was collected.Results:The waiting time of 30 421 outpatients was (26.05±24.30) min. Among them, the waiting time of patients with non-appointment window registration was (23.45±23.71) min while the waiting time of patients with appointments was (30.17±24.66) min, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-23.49, P<0.05) . Conclusions:Under the current outpatient procedure mode, a high proportion of patients with non-appointment window registration will increase the waiting time for patients with appointments. By increasing the proportion of patients with appointments through the process reform of outpatient department, strengthening of propaganda and education and other methods, accurate appointments can be achieved and the waiting time for appointment patients can be shortened.

Objective: To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of two novel ITGB2 mutations in leukocyte adhesion defect type 1 (LAD1). Methods: The clinical history and blood sample of an 11 years old patient admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in August 2014 were collected. Expression of CD18 (encoded by ITGB2) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Novel ITGB2 mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing technology and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The functional effect of ITGB2 mutations was detected by PolyPhen2. Expression vectors of both wild type and mutant ITGB2 were constructed and transfected into mammalian cells for analysis of protein stability and subcellular location. Results: The symptoms of the patient (recurrent infections, lowered alveolar ridge and hypodontia) supported the diagnosis of LAD1. Expression of CD18 on the leukocytes was significantly decreased (0.2%) compared with the control samples from the parents (paternal: 99.0%; maternal: 99.1%). The patient was identified to be compound heterozygous for ITBG2 c.954del G (novel mutation) and c.1802C>A (paternal originated). ITGB2 c.954 del G was confirmed to be a harmful frameshift mutation; ITGB2 c.1802C>A was also predicted to be harmful. In terms of protein stability. There was no significant difference between mutant D18 and wild type. However, subcellular location analysis showed the mutant D18 could not locate on cell membrane. Conclusion The compound heterozygous of ITGB2 mutations (c.954del G and c.1802C>A) decreases the expression and impairs the location of CD18 on leukocytes, which leads to LAD1.
