Objective: To explore the effects of group sports game intervention on social ability and quality of life of children with austism spectrum disorders (ASD),so as to provide reference for rehabilitation intervention of social and quality of life of children with ASD. Methods: From September 2021 to January 2022, 72 children with ASD aged 4-6 in the children s rehabilitation department of Xiangyang Central Hospital were selected to participate in the study, and were randomly divided into experimental group ( n =36) and control group ( n =36). The control group received routine rehabilitation training (including individual sports game training), and the experimental group replaced individual sports game training with group sports game training on the basis of routine rehabilitation.The course content mainly included three parts: warm up before class, group sports games and relaxation after class. The course combined social skills with sports games, and was carried out in a group form (divided into 12 groups with 3 people in each group), and was trained five times a week for 60 minutes, for a total of 12 weeks. The scores of Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL 4.0) were observed before and after treatment. t-test and χ 2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results: There was no significant difference in SRS scores between the experimental group and the control group before intervention ( t =-0.63, P >0.05). After the intervention, the total response rate in the experimental group was 83.33 %, higher than 41.67% in the control group χ 2=13.33, P <0.05),and the SRS scores decreased in the experimental group and control group ( t =17.75,8.71, P <0.05). The SRS scale score of the experimental group Social perception (17.67±4.12) , social cognition (30.33±4.99) , social communication (50.33±9.39) , social motivation (24.25±6.78) scores and total scores ( 152.67± 25.82) were lower than those of the control group(22.17±5.34，36.00±4.13，62.58±11.07，34.42±7.13，186.33±29.03)( t = -4.88，-2.03，-2.13，-3.58，-3.01， P ＜0.05).After the intervention, the scores of social function (53.33±18.01) and total score (283.83±51.83) on PedsQL 4.0 scale in experimental group were higher than those in control group(23.33±15.13，218.00±39.01) ( t =4.42，3.52， P ＜0.05). After the intervention, Autism Treatment Evaluation Scale (ATEC) scores of experimental groups(44.33±14.72) was lower than that in control group ( 59.33±16.95)( t =-2.32, P ＜0.05). Conclusion The intervention of group sports game has a significant effect on improving social ability and life quality of children with ASD.

Objective:To explore the application effect of ultrasound-guided pectoralis Ⅱ(PECS-Ⅱ)blocks anesthesia in benign tumor resection of breast.Methods:A total of 60 female patients who underwent benign tumor resection of breast were selected from Maternity and Child Care Center of Qinhuangdao from January 2021 to December 2021,and they were divided into the thoracic nerve block group(nerve block group)and local infiltration anesthesia group(local anesthesia group)according to the random number table method.The nerve block group used ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ anesthesia,and the local anesthesia group used local infiltration anesthesia for tumor.The hemodynamic indicators,postoperative visual analogue score,first intervention time of postoperative analgesic drugs,and the use of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery were compared and analyzed between the two groups of patients.Results:The average operation time of the nerve block group was(127.32±34.56)min,and the difference of that between the nerve block group and local anesthesia group(128.11±33.84)min was no statistically significant(P>0.05).The differences of the heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)before anesthesia(T0)between two groups of patients were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The HR and MAP levels at the time of skin incision(T1),at the 0.5 h after the surgery was conducted(T2)and the time of completing surgery(T3)in nerve block group were significantly lower than those of the local anesthesia group,respectively.The differences were statistically significant(tHR=5.709,5.836,5.662,tMAP=3.501,3.223,3.128,P<0.05),respectively.Compared with the local anesthesia group,the pain level at the same time point in the nerve block group was significantly reduced,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.501,6.575,8.197,8.262,P<0.05),respectively.The intervention time of analgesic medication at the first time of the nerve block group was significantly later than that of the local anesthesia group,and the consumption of sufentanil within 24 hours after surgery of the nerve block group was also significantly reduced,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=13.741,9.482,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided PECS-Ⅱ can effectively relieve postoperatively early pain in patients with benign tumors of breast,and delay the intervention time of postoperative analgesic medication,and reduce the intake amount of opioid drugs.

Objective:To conduct a scope review on the application of ICU diaries in critically ill patients, laying the foundation for further exploration and construction of ICU diary patterns and frameworks that were in line with the national conditions and tailored to different regions and cultural backgrounds.Methods:The Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer′s Manual was used as the methodological framework, and a computer search was conducted in nine domestic and international databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase, etc. The search period was from the inception of the databases until March 13, 2023. The included literature was screened, summarized, and analyzed.Results:A total of 19 articles were included. ICU diaries were commonly recorded using a combination of text and visuals, with the involvement of both healthcare professionals and family members. Most patients received ICU diaries approximately one month after their transfer from the ICU. Out of the 15 studies, ICU diaries were found to be effective, while 4 studies indicated no significant improvement in patients′ psychological issues. However, ICU diaries were still considered acceptable by patients and their families.Conclusions:The application of ICU diaries has shown positive significance in critically ill patients, but further research and exploration are needed to investigate its impact on issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and quality of life. In the future, a combination of multiple forms and high-quality research designs with large samples, long periods, and structured approaches should be employed to explore its application effects and long-term outcomes on psychological problems.

Objective:To study the clinical value of serum microRNA-34a (miR-34a) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear transcript-like protein 1 (BMAL1) in cervical cancer and their relationship with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection.Methods:The clinical data of 76 patients with cervical cancer and 50 patients with benign cervical diseases in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The expression levels of serum miR-34a and BMAL1 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and HR-HPV infection was detected by flow fluorescent hybridization. The patients were followed up until December 2023, and the death and poor prognosis (death, tumor recurrence and progression and severe complications at 1-year of follow-up) were recorded. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of miR-34a, BMAL1 and related indexes in evaluating the poor prognosis in patients with cervical cancer at 1-year. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for death in patients with cervical cancer. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the relationship between miR-34a, BMAL1 expression and survival period, and the log-rank test was used for comparison.Results:The expression level of serum miR-34a in patients with cervical cancer was significantly lower than that in patients with benign cervical lesions (0.46 ± 0.08 vs. 0.67 ± 0.11), the expression level of serum BMAL1 was significantly higher than that in patients with benign cervical lesions (0.58 ± 0.07 vs. 0.41 ± 0.07), and there were statistical differences ( t= 12.40 and 13.34, P<0.01). The expression levels of serum miR-34a and BMAL1 in patients with cervical cancer were associated with tumor differentiation, myometrial invasion depth, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or<0.01); they were not associated with age, menopause and pathological type, and there were no statistical differences ( P>0.05). In patients with cervical cancer, the expression level of miR-34a in patients with HR-HPV positive infection (60 cases) was significantly lower than that in patients with HR-HPV negative infection (16 cases): 0.41 ± 0.07 vs. 0.49 ± 0.08, the expression level of BMAL1 was significantly higher than that in patients with HR-HPV negative infection: 0.65 ± 0.09 vs. 0.53 ± 0.06, and there were statistical differences ( t = 3.68 and 4.24, P<0.05 or<0.01). In patients with benign cervical diseases, there were no statistical differences in the expression levels of miR-34a and BMAL1 between patients with HR-HPV positive infection (7 cases) and patients with HR-HPV negative infection (43 cases) ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that miR-34a combined with BMAL1 had the highest sensitivity (90.4%), specificity (89.9%) and area under curve (0.911) in assessing the 1-year poor prognosis in patients with cervical cancer ( P<0.01), and the optimal cutoff values of miR-34a and BMAL1 expression level were ≤0.39 and ≥0.64. Multivariate Cox regression analysis result showed that poor differentiation, myometrial invasion depth ≥1/2, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, FIGO stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ, miR-34a expression level ≤0.46 and BMAL1 expression level ≥0.58 were independent risk factors for death in patients with cervical cancer ( OR = 1.857, 2.125, 2.337, 2.751, 2.457, 3.885 and 3.666; 95% CI 0.845 to 5.788, 0.726 to 5.924, 0.709 to 5.631, 0.693 to 5.727, 0.801 to 5.936, 1.244 to 6.423 and 1.031 to 5.612; P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis result showed that the median survival time in cervical cancer patients with miR-34a expression level ≤0.39 and BMAL1 expression level ≥0.64 (21 cases) was significantly lower than that in the other cervical cancer patients (miR-34a expression level>0.39 or BMAL1 expression level<0.64, 55 cases): (26.4 ± 4.2) months vs. (34.2 ± 5.6) months, log-rank χ2 = 17.12, P<0.05. Conclusions:The expression level of serum miR-34a in patients with cervical cancer is significantly reduced and the expression level of BMAL1 is significantly increased, which is related to the condition, prognosis and HR-HPV infection. It can be used as a marker for the assessment of the condition and prognosis of cervical cancer. The combined detection of the two can significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity in predicting poor prognosis of cervical cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of self-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (SCH) gel on endometrium recovery after artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted across 18 hospitals from December 2021 to February 2023, involving 382 women who underwent artificial abortion. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either treatment with SCH gel (SCH group) or no treatment (control group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The primary outcome was endometrium thickness in 14 to 18 days after the first postoperative menstruation. Secondary outcomes included changes in menstrual volume during the first postoperative menstruation, menstruation resumption within 6 postoperative weeks, time to menstruation resumption, duration of the first postoperative menstruation, and incidence of dysmenorrhea.Results:Baseline characteristics of participants were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05), with 95.3% (182/191) in SCH group and 92.7% (177/191) in the control group completed the study. The postoperative endometrial thickness in SCH group was significantly greater than that in the control group [(9.78±3.15) vs (8.95±2.32) mm; P=0.005]. SCH group also had significantly fewer participants with reduced menstrual volume [23 cases (12.6%, 23/182) vs 31 cases (17.5%, 31/177); P=0.038]. Although SCH group experienced less dysmenorrhea during the first postoperative menstrual period, this difference was not statistically significant [28.5% (51/179) vs 37.1% (65/175); P=0.083]. Outcomes were similar between SCH group and the control group regarding the proportion of participants who resumed menstruation within 6 weeks postoperatively, time to menstruation resumption, and duration of the first postoperative menstruation ( P=0.792, 0.485, and 0.254, respectively). No serious adverse events were observed during the study period, and no adverse events were attributed to SCH gel treatment. Conclusion:The application of SCH gel after artificial abortion is safe and might aid in the recovery of the endometrium.

Objective:To investigate the differences in programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and immune cell infiltration characteristics in different molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. Ninety primary treated EC patients who underwent surgery without preoperative neoadjuvant therapy at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from November 2016 to May 2022 were collected. The surgical paraffin-embedded tissues were selected, and the molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer were classified according to 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) molecular subtypes using POLE gene Sanger sequencing and immunohistochemical staining. The expression of PD-L1, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD68, and CD20 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry. Stained slides were digitally scanned for quantitative analysis of PD-L1 and immune cell infiltration density. The PD-L1-related scores were evaluated, including tumor cell score (TCS, the percentage of PD-L1 positive tumor cells among total tumor cells ≥1% was TCS positive, <1% was TCS negative), immune cell score (ICS, the percentage of PD-L1 positive tumor-associated lymphocytes and macrophages among total tumor-associated lymphocytes and macrophages ≥1% was ICS positive, <1% was ICS negative) and combined positive score [CPS, PD-L1 positive stained cells (including tumor cells, lymphocytes and macrophages)/total number of viable tumor cells ×100 ≥ 1 was CPS positive, < 1 was CPS negative]. Clinicopathological characteristics, PD-L1 scores and immune cell infiltration densities among different molecular subtypes were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot disease-free survival (DFS) curves for molecular subtypes, PD-L1 scores and immune cell infiltration densities, with subgroup comparisons using log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used for univariate and multivariate analyses of poor DFS in endometrial cancer patients.Results:The median age of 90 patients was 58 years old (range: 33-72 years old); endometrioid carcinoma was present in 78 cases (86.7%), and non-endometrioid carcinoma was present in 12 cases (13.3%). Molecular subtyping identified POLE-mutated subtype in 6 cases (6.7%), mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) subtype in 23 cases (25.6%), p53 abnormal subtype in 14 cases (15.6%), and non-specific molecular profile (NSMP) subtype in 47 cases (52.2%). Significant differences were observed among the 4 molecular subtypes in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, histological grade, morphological subtype, tertiary lymphoid structures, estrogen receptor expression, and progesterone receptor expression (all P < 0.05). Among the 90 cases, 18 cases (20.0%) were positive for TCS, 31 cases (34.4%) were positive for ICS, and 39 cases (43.3%) were positive for CPS. Significant differences were found among the 4 molecular subtypes in PD-L1 + cell density, distribution of patients with ICS positivity, and distribution of patients with CPS positivity (all P < 0.01), but not in distribution of patients with TCS positivity ( P = 0.090); compared to NSMP subtype, the proportions of ICS-positive patients in POLE-mutated and MMRd subtypes were higher, the proportion of CPS-positive patients and PD-L1 + cell density in MMRd and p53 abnormal subtypes were higher, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Significant differences in immune cell densities were observed among the 4 molecular subtypes (all P < 0.01); compared to NSMP subtype, POLE-mutated, MMRd and p53 abnormal subtypes had higher densities of CD3 + and CD8 + cells, MMRd subtype had higher CD4 + cell density, and POLE-mutated and MMRd subtypes had higher CD68 + and CD20 + cell densities (all P < 0.05). The median follow-up was 43 months (range: 7-75 months). Among the molecular subtypes, p53 abnormal patients had the worst DFS, and POLE-mutated patients had the best DFS, and the difference in DFS among the 4 subtypes was statistically significant ( P = 0.046). Grouping according to the median density of immune cells in the entire group, patients with high CD8 + cell density (45 cases) had better DFS than those with low density (45 cases) ( P = 0.010), PD-L1 ICS-positive patients had worse DFS than negative patients ( P = 0.019), and NSMP subtype patients with high CD4 + cell density (24 cases) had better DFS than those with low density (23 cases) ( P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in DFS among patients grouping with other PD-L1 scoring modes and other immune cell infiltration density (all P > 0.05). Cox regression analysis indicated that high CD8 + cell density ( HR = 0.335, 95% CI: 0.113-0.990, P = 0.048) was an independent protective factor for poor DFS in endometrial cancer patients, and high CD4 + cell density was an independent protective factor for poor DFS in NSMP subtype patients ( HR = 0.035, 95% CI: 0.003-0.345, P = 0.004). Conclusions:There are significant differences in PD-L1 expression and immune cell infiltration density among the different molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer, which are correlated with the prognosis of patients, and may provide reference for the selection of immunotherapy strategies and prognosis judgment.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients with early relapse and the influencing factors of early relapse.Methods:The clinical data of 164 patients with newly diagnosed MM admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and 53 cases (32.3%) relapsed at the end of the follow-up. According to the recurrence within 12 months or not, the patients were divided into early relapse group and advanced relapse group; the clinical characteristics, overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) of both groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze if the following indexes including age, gender, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG), hemoglobin, creatinine, serum calcium, bone marrow plasma cell ratio, extramedullary disease, high-risk fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) were the influencing factors of the early relapse. Based on 7 published clinical trials, simplified early relapse MM (S-ERMM) scoring system was constructed to subgroup all relapsed patients. The difference in risk stratification between early relapsed patients and advanced relapsed patients was compared. Results:The median follow-up time of 164 newly diagnosed MM patients was 26 months (12-48 months). Among 53 relapsed MM patients, 24 cases had early relapse and 29 cases had advanced relapse. The ORR of patients with early relapse was decreased compared with that of those with advanced relapse [70.8% (17/24) vs. 89.7% (26/29), χ2 = 3.04, P = 0.001]. The median OS of the early relapse group was shorter than that of the advanced relapse group (24 months vs. not reached, P < 0.001). The OS of patient in the early relapse group with the best response ≥ complete remission (CR), ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) and ≥ partial remission (PR) during initial induction therapy was worse than that of those in the advanced relapse group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P values were 0.008, 0.011, 0.012, respectively). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed low albumin (<35 g/L vs. ≥35 g/L: OR = 1.644, 95% CI 1.076-2.511, P = 0.022) and high LDH (< the upper limit of normal value vs. ≥ the upper limit of normal value: OR = 0.998, 95% CI 0.985-1.011, P = 0.030) were independent influencing factors of early relapse. Among 24 early relapse patients, there were 5 cases (20.8%), 13 cases (54.2%), 6 cases (25.0%), respectively in the S-ERMM scoring system low-risk, middle-risk, high-risk groups; among 29 advanced relapse patients, there were 18 cases (62.1%),9 cases (31.0%), 2 cases (6.9%), respectively in the S-ERMM scoring system low-risk, middle-risk, high-risk groups; the difference in risk stratification of the S-ERMM scoring system between the early relapse group and the advanced relapse group was statistically significant ( χ2 = 9.09, P = 0.003). Conclusions:MM patients with early relapse have poor therapeutic efficacy and prognosis. The prognosis is not affected by the depth of remission to first-line therapy. Low albumin and high LDH may be independent risk factors of MM patients with early relapse.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate (artificial bone or mixed iliac bone graft) in the treatment of foot and ankle osteomyelitis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 11 cases of foot and ankle osteomyelitis which had been treated at Department of Hand and Microsurgery, The Third Hospital of Baoji from October 2018 to October 2021. There were 8 males and 3 females, aged (42.3±23.7) years. The chronic hypotoxic osteomyelitis was repaired and reconstructed after thorough debridement at one stage with a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone to fill the cavity and cover the wound. The acute infected trauma was repaired and reconstructed after thorough debridement at the second stage with a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone to fill the cavity and cover the wound only after the acute infection was controlled by local dressing, drainage or negative pressure therapy and systemic anti-infection treatment at the primary stage. The flap size ranged from 3.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 12.0 cm × 6.0 cm. Four cases were treated by a peroneal artery perforator flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, 3 cases by a flap with peroneal artery perforator and peroneal nerve trophic vessel combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, 3 cases by a posterior tibial artery perforator flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, and one by a peroneus longus muscle flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone. Postoperatively, the flap survival, bone union time, ankle function and complications were observed; the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by comparing infection control indexes at the final follow-up [clinical manifestations like local redness, swelling, pain, ulceration, and exudation, and white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and calcitoninogen (PCT)].Results:All the flaps survived except for one which developed necrosis at the distal 1/3 of the flap but responded to dressing change. All the patients were followed up for (22.6±11.5) months. The 6-month follow-up revealed that all the flaps were fine in shape and texture. Re-examinations showed that WBC, CRP, ESR and PCT were normal or close to normal, the local skin was free of redness, swelling or ulceration, and protective sensation was restored to varying degrees. X-ray at (12.1±2.3) months showed that lesions disappeared, bony union was achieved, the ankle joint regained basic flexion and extension, and the affected limb also regained weight-bearing and walking functions in all the patients but one whose X-ray at 18 months showed poor bony union but no other symptoms or signs.Conclusion:In the treatment of foot and ankle osteomyelitis, a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone can promote bone healing and restore the function of the foot and ankle because it not only fills the cavity and covers the wound but also effectively controls the infection.
