Objective:To compare the efficacy of subfascial and extrafascial anterior quadratus lumborum block (AQLB).Methods:This study included two trials. TrialⅠ This trail was a retrospective study. The images of patients undergoing abdominal CT examination from January to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed in the picture archiving and communication system of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University. One hundred adult patients with no musculoskeletal disorders or history of thoracolumbar surgery were randomly selected, and the anatomical relation between the quadratus lumbar muscle (QLM) and psoas major muscle (PMM) at the L 4 level was observed. Trial Ⅱ This trail was a prospective study. Twenty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰor Ⅱ male patients, aged 18-65 yr, with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, who underwent elective unilateral AQLB lower abdominal surgery in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January to February 2024, were included and divided into subfascial group and extrafascial group using computer-generated random numbers, with 10 cases per group (5 cases on the left and 5 cases on the right side each). AQLB was performed using 0.375% ropivacaine 30 ml: the injection point for subfascial group was located between the fascia of the QLM and the anterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia at the L 4 level, while the injection point for extrafascial group was located underneath the fascia of the PMM at the L 4 level. The blocked side of the body was divided into 15 regions using the anatomical landmarks on the body surface. The positive rates of skin sensory block and sensory disappearance of dermatomes in each region were assessed by cold stimulation at 40 min after block. The modified Bromage score was used to evaluate the lower limb motor block at 40 min after block and 1 h after surgery. Results:PartⅠ At the L 4 level, the overlapping of the bilateral QLM and PMM only occurred in 1 patient (1%), the overlapping only appearing on the left side occurred in 1 patient (1%), and the PMM and QLM in the remaining 98 patients (98%) were separated. Part Ⅱ The positive rates in 3, 5, 6 and 8 regions and the sensory disappearance rates of T 7 to T 12 dermatomes were significantly higher in subfascial group than in extrafascial group ( P<0.05). One patient in extrafascial group had a modified Bromage score of 1 on the block side at 40 min after block, and both groups scored 0 at the other time points. Conclusions:QLM and PMM are separated at the L 4 level in most patients. Subfascial AQLB is more effective than extrafascial AQLB in blocking the middle-lower region of the abdominal wall and has no motor block.

Objective: To explore the association between reading and writing posture with the occurrence of myopia in Chinese children and adolescents, so as to provide a reference for reducing its prevalence among primary and secondary school students. Methods: Using data from the 2020 survey on the current status of hyperopia reserve in primary and secondary school students from six provinces/cities, namely Beijing, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Liaoning, and Henan selected by multi stage stratified cluster probability sampling method during November 2020 to June 2022. A total 16 782 students who completed the optometry examination of cycloplegia according to the Children and Adolescents Myopia Screening Standard and questionnaire survey were included for analyzing analyze the association between reading and writing posture with myopia. Results: The overall detection rate of myopia among primary and secondary school students was 45.7%, of which 35.0% were primary school students, 84.1% junior high school students, and 90.4% senior high school students. Poor reading and writing posture was found in 73.6% of primary and secondary school students. Adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, school period, region, outdoor time every day, and whether parents were myopic, the results of the multilevel Logistic regression showed that the following factors were positively correlated with myopia:poor reading and writing posture ( OR=1.17, 95%CI =1.07-1.28), never/occasionally reading and writing with a reading distance which was more than one foot away between the eyes and book ( OR=1.28, 95%CI=1.08-1.53, OR=1.23, 95%CI = 1.08- 1.40), teachers occasionally reminding the child of their reading and writing posture ( OR=1.13, 95%CI =1.01-1.25), and often/always reading and writing while lying down or with the face on the arm ( OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.01-1.32, OR=1.46, 95% CI = 1.17-1.82), always reading and writing with the head in the hand ( OR=1.56, 95%CI =1.20-2.01). Further, a negative correlation was detected between myopia and parents occasionally reminding their children of their reading and writing posture ( OR= 0.85 , 95%CI =0.76-0.96) ( P <0.05). Conclusion Poor reading and writing posture is a risk factor for the development of myopia in primary and secondary school students, and interventions for reading and writing posture need to be strengthened to reduce the occurrence of myopia among primary and secondary school students.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for prognosis of severe pneumonia patients combined with sepsis.Methods:Clinical data of 318 severe pneumonia patients combined with sepsis admitted at Taizhou People’s Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from March 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomized into a modeling set ( n=233) and a validation set ( n=85) with a 3∶1 ratio. In the modeling set there were 180 survival cases and 53 fatal cases according to the clinical outcomes within 30 days of admission. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent prognostic factors for patients in the modeling set. A nomogram prediction model was constructed by R based on these prognostic factors and further verified using the data of the validation set with receiver operating curve (ROC), decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibrated with calibration curve analyses. Results:Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that septic shock ( HR=2.32, 95% CI 1.37-3.89, P=0.013) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ( HR=2.52, 95% CI 1.23-5.61, P=0.017) were independent risk factors for mortality in severe pneumonia patients combined with sepsis within 30 days of admission, while albumin/fibrinogen ratio (AFR) ( HR=0.64, 95% CI 0.41-0.83, P=0.011) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) ( HR=0.68, 95% CI 0.57-0.83, P=0.009) were independent protective factors. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram model based on these four indicators in the modeling and validation sets were 0.875 and 0.880, respectively. The DCA curve analysis indicated that the clinical benefit of this model was better than "All" or "None" curves in both the modeling and verification sets.The calibrate curve analysis indicated that the actual and corrected curves fitted well and were close to the ideal curve. Conclusion:The constructed nomogram model based on septic shock, AFR, NLR and PNI has a well prognostic value in severe pneumonia patients combined with sepsis.

Objective: To understand physical health of pre school children aged 3-6, so as to analyze the early life influencing factors, and to provide a reference for physical health promotion of preschool children. Methods: The method of random sampling was used to select 1 580 preschoolers aged from 3-6 in Guangzhou. National physical health test and questionnaire survey were conducted to assess physical health. Results: The physical fitness pass rate of preschool children was 87.2%, among which the excellent rate was 30.8%. With the increase of age, the rate of good physique of both boys and girls increased. There were statistical differences in body shape indexes (except dermal fold thickness) between male and female children at all ages ( P <0.01). The rate of overweight and obesity was 14.7%, which was higher in boys (17.2%) than in girls (12.0%). There were significant differences between overweight and non overweight obese people( χ 2=4.84，3.96，5.73，4.85， P <0.05). Logistic regression showed that preterm birth was negatively correlated with the rate of good physique of preschool children ( OR=0.81, P <0.05). There was a positive correlation between birth weight greater than gestational age and the rate of physical fitness of preschool children ( OR=1.37, P <0.05). Conclusion Preschool children aged 3-6 years old in Guangzhou have poor physical health overall, and the rate of good physical health is related to factors such as preterm gestational week in early life delivery and birth weight greater than the gestational age.

Objective:To study the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic full-thickness resection(EFR) in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors with diameter of 5-7 cm.Methods:Data of 36 patients with large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm) who received EFR or surgery (including laparoscopic and open surgery) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and confirmed by postoperative histopathology from January 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into endoscopic group (9 cases) and surgical group (27 cases) according to different resection methods. The perioperative indicators and the total incidence of complications in the two groups were compared.Results:In terms of perioperative indicators, the median operation time of the endoscopic group was significantly longer than that of the surgical group (4.0 hours VS 2.0 hours, P<0.01), and the postoperative fasting time (4.55±0.88 days VS 6.22±2.24 days, t=-2.15, P=0.03) and hospital stay (6.88±1.26 days VS 10.03±2.90 days, t=-3.13, P<0.01) were significantly shorter than those of the surgical group. The median visual analogue scores (VAS) of abdominal pain of the endoscopic group on the first postoperative day (3 VS 6, P<0.01)and the third postoperative day (1 VS 3, P<0.01) were significantly lower than those of the surgical group. The hospitalization cost was significantly less than that of the surgical group (55±14.7 thousand yuan VS 73±24.3 thousand yuan, t=-2.11, P=0.04). In term of the total incidence of complications, the endoscopic group was 11.1% (1/9), which was higher than that of the surgical group [7.4% (2/27)], but there was no statistically significant difference( P=1.00). Conclusion:EFR is safe and effective in the treatment of large gastric stromal tumors (5-7 cm), and has the advantages of less invasiveness, rapid postoperative recovery, and lower hospitalization cost. But how to shorten the operation time is an urgent problem to be solved.

Objective:To observe and preliminarily explore the relationship between the area of active fundus lesions and aqueous cytomegalovirus (CMV)-DNA in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR).Methods:A retrospective study. From November 2019 to December 2020, the study population consisted of 22 AIDS patients (31 eyes) with active CMVR at the Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University. All the patients were male. The age of the patients was 38.0±8.7 years. In total, 13 patients accepted highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The median duration of treatment was 4 months. There were 9 cases that did not receive HAART. Ultra-wide-angle fundus imaging examination was performed using Optos P200T laser scanning ophthalmoscope. The software was used that comes with the device to measure the area of active lesions. Anterior chamber puncture was performed in all the affected eyes, 100 μl of aqueous humor was extracted, and the CMV-DNA load was quantitatively detected by polymerase chain reaction. At the same time, 19 cases of peripheral blood CD4 +T lymphocytes and CMV-DNA load were tested; 17 cases of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-RNA load were tested. The area of active lesions was used as the independent variable, and the CMV-DNA load of aqueous humor was used as the dependent variable to construct a linear regression function. Results:All eyes were active CMVR, with lesions ranging from 1 to 264 optic disc diameters, with a median of 43 optic disc diameters. Among 31 eyes, 30 eyes (96.8%, 30/31) had a median aqueous CMV-DNA load of 1.3×10 4 copies/ml, and one eye was negative for CMV-DNA in aqueous humor. In 19 patients who underwent peripheral blood CD4 +T lymphocyte detection, the median CD4 +T lymphocytes were 18 cells/μl; 4 cases (21.1%, 4/19) were detected with CMV-DNA load. In the 17 patients who underwent HIV-RNA load testing, the median HIV-RNA load was 4.1×10 4 copies/ml. The results of correlation analysis showed that the amount of CMV-DNA in aqueous humor was significantly correlated with the size of active fundus lesions ( r=0.601, P<0.001), and was correlated with CD4 + T lymphocytes, CMV-DNA load in blood, and HIV-RNA load. There was no significant correlation between the amounts ( r=0.125, 0.202, -0.096; P>0.05). The regression equation was CMV-DNA load in aqueous humor = 3.38 + 0.01 × active lesion area. Conclusion:The amount of CMV-DNA in the aqueous humor is significantly correlated with the area of fundus active lesions, which can reflect the activity of fundus lesions.

Objective To observe the image characteristics of OCT in patients of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR).Methods Thirty-nine eyes of 26 patients of AIDS with CMVR diagnosed in Department of ophthalmology of Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University from January 2015 to December 2017 were included in this study.All the patients were males,with the mean age of 33.12± 9.87 years.All the patients underwent the OCT examination by Spectralis HRA+OCT.The locations of scanning were macular,optical papilla and posterior pole of retina with retinitis.Typical images were saved and analyzed.Results The OCT pathological changes of CMVR included increase of retinal thickness and reflex of retina,indiscernible retinal layers,irregularity or absent external limiting membrane and/or ellipsoid zone,hyperreflective spots,vitreous cells.Among 39 eyes,there were 6 eyes with strong point-like reflection in the outer layer of retina around the lesion,31 eyes (79.49％) with strong point-like reflection in the full layer of retina,25 eyes (64.10％) with lesion involved macular area,34 eyes (87.17％) with vitreous cells.Conclusions OCT images of the eyes with AIDS with CMVR were characterized by lesions involving the whole retina.Absent ellipsoid zone or structural changes can be seen in the affected areas and peripheral areas of the lesion.

MiR-142-3p has been reported to act as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. However, the regulatory effect of miR-142-3p on drug resistance of breast cancer cells and its underlying mechanism remain unknown. Here, we found that miR-142-3p was significantly downregulated in the doxorubicin (DOX)-resistant MCF-7 cell line (MCF-7/DOX). MiR-142-3p overexpression increased DOX sensitivity and enhanced DOX-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a direct functional target of miR-142-3p in breast cancer cells and miR-142-3p negatively regulated HMGB1 expression. Moreover, overexpression of HMGB1 dramatically reversed the promotion of apoptosis and inhibition of autophagy mediated by miR-142-3p up-regulation. In conclusion, miR-142-3p overexpression may inhibit autophagy and promote the drug sensitivity of breast cancer cells to DOX by targeting HMGB1. The miR-142-3p/HMGB1 axis might be a novel target to regulate the drug resistance of breast cancer patients.
