Tumor cells use glycolysis to provide material and energy under hypoxic conditions to meet the energy requirements for rapid growth and proliferation, namely the Warburg effect. Even under aerobic conditions, tumor cells mainly rely on glycolysis to provide energy. Therefore, glucose transporter protein 1(GLUT1), which is involved in the process of glucose metabolism, plays an important role in tumorigenesis, development and drug resistance, and is considered to be one of the important targets in the treatment of malignant tumors. In recent years, research on tumor glucose metabolism has gradually become a hot spot. It has been shown that various factors are involved in the regulation of tumor energy metabolism, among which the role of GLUT1 is the most critical. In this paper, the authors reviewed the latest research progress of GLUT1-targeted traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) active ingredient nano-delivery system in tumor therapy, aiming to reveal the feasibility and effectiveness of this system in the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. The GLUT1-targeted TCM active ingredient nano-delivery system can overcome the bottleneck of the traditional targeting strategy as well as the high-permeability long retention(EPR) effect. In summary, the authors believe that the GLUT1-targeted TCM active ingredient nano-delivery system provides a new strategy for targeted treatment of tumors and has a broad application prospect in tumor prevention and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate whether early enteral nutrition could benefit patients with different degrees of shock by dynamic changes of intestinal biomarkers intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and citrulline.Methods:(1) From February 2021 to February 2023, 133 target patients in the Intensive Care Unit of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled. The observation period was 7 days after admission, and intestinal biomarkers were monitored three times: 24 hours after admission (D1), the third day after admission (D3), and the seventh day after admission (D7). (2) The enrolled patients were divided into two groups according to the dose of norepinephrine received within 48 hours after admission: safe dose group [receiving norepinephrine < 0.3 μg/(kg·min)] and hazardous dose group [receiving norepinephrine ≥0.3 μg/(kg·min)]. The safe dose group was given early enteral nutrition according to the guidelines, and the dangerous dose group was randomly (random number) given early enteral nutrition (EEN) and delayed enteral nutrition (DEN).(4)The dynamic changes of intestinal fatty acid binding protein and citrulline in three groups were observed; The differences of intestinal biomarkers at different time points of dangerous dose of EEN/DEN were compared. The survival time of EEN/DEN group within 28 days was recorded, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses of 28-day mortality were performed for the included population.Results:(1) The baseline data, APACHEⅡ score, arterial blood lactic acid, AGI grade, feeding interruption, total feeding time within 7 days, and 28-day survival number were statistically different between safe dose EEN group and hazardous dose EEN group ( P < 0.05). Compared the baseline data of the dangerous dose EEN group and the dangerous dose DEN group, only the number of feeding interruptions was statistically different ( P < 0.05). (2) The trend of change in the safe dose EEN group was the same as that in the dangerous dose DEN group: I-FABP decreased significantly from D3 to D7 ( P < 0.05); Citrulline decreased from D1 to D3, but increased from D3 to D7 ( P < 0.05). In dangerous dose EEN group, I-FABP had no significant change during the monitoring period ( P > 0.05). Citrulline decreased significantly from D1 to D3 ( P < 0.05). The EEN/DEN ratio at dangerous dose was significantly different only for D7-I-FABP ( P < 0.05). Compared with the survival curve of EEN/DEN at risk dose, DEN could improve the early survival rate of critically ill patients at risk dose (Breslow test P = 0.0447). (4) Age( OR=1.069,95% CI: 1.002-1.140, P=0.044) was independent risk factor for 28-day death . BMI ( OR= 0.772, 95% CI: 0.604-0.987, P=0.039), no feeding interruption ( OR=0.044,95% CI: 0.004-0.455, P=0.009), total feeding time within 7 days ( OR=0.959, 95% CI: 0.923-0.997, P=0.036) were the protective factors. Conclusions:EEN at the safe dose and DEN at the dangerous dose can effectively reverse the necrosis of enterocyte and promote the recovery of enterocyte function. EEN is not a clear risk factor for death at 28 days, but it not only increases the incidence of feeding interruption, but also do not conduct the recovery of intestinal cell function from the perspective of intestinal biomarkers.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of 3D digital modeling combined with 3D printed model in assisting the classroom theoretical teaching of orthopedics in five-year undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine.Methods:In May 2022, 33 five-year undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine in the class of 2018 in Southwest Medical University were selected and divided into experimental group with 17 students and control group with 16 students according to the odd or even student number. The students in the experimental group were taught by traditional PPT+3D digital modeling combined with 3D printed model, and those in the control group were taught by the traditional PPT teaching method. The teaching effect was evaluated by theoretical examination and a questionnaire survey on the degree of satisfaction with teaching. SPSS 25.0 was used to perform the t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the rank sum test, and the chi-square test. Results:The experimental group had a significantly higher score of theoretical examination than the control group (86.24±4.16 vs. 82.50±6.06). The questionnaire survey on the degree of satisfaction with teaching showed that compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly higher degree of satisfaction with the understanding and learning of orthopedic diseases [3 (2, 3) vs. 2 (2, 2), P < 0.05], the improvement in learning interest [2 (2, 3) vs. 2 (1, 2), P < 0.05], classroom innovation [3 (3, 3) vs. 2 (1.5, 2), P < 0.05], and overall classroom teaching [3 (2, 3) vs. 2 (2, 2), P < 0.05]. Conclusion:In assisting the classroom theoretical teaching of orthopedics in undergraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, 3D digital modeling combined with 3D printed model can provide concrete 3D models, reduce the difficulties in learning, improve the awareness of orthopedic diseases, strengthen learning interest, and increase the degree of satisfaction with teaching and academic scores.

OBJECTIVES:
Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is a class of diseases that makes seriously endanger to the vision of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. This study aims to observe the visual function changes in patients with DON, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of indicators diagnosing DON.
METHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted on 98 eyes of 49 patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) who were treated in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2017 to December 2019. All patients were received the examination of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Humphrey visual field, visual evoked potential (VEP), and contrast sensitivity. Ninety-eight eyes were divided into a DON group (45 eyes) and a non-DON group (53 eyes). T-test was used to compare the related indicators between the 2 groups. The sensitivity and specificity of each indicator were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
RESULTS:
The BCVA and visual field index (VFI) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD) of the DON group were significantly higher than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05). The low frequency contrast sensitivity (CSL), medium frequency contrast sensitivity (CSM), and high frequency contrast sensitivity (CSH) of the DON group were significantly lower than those of the non-DON group (all P<0.05), with CSH being particularly prominent. Compared with the non-DON group, at spatial frequencies of 15°, 30°, and 60°, the amplitude of N135 wave was significantly reduced, and the latency of N75 wave, P100 wave, and N135 wave was significantly prolonged in the DON group (all P<0.05); at spatial frequencies of 15° and 30°, the amplitude of P100 wave was significantly reduced in the DON group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of VFI, CSL, CSM, CSH and 15° P100 amplitude diagnosing DON were 0.812, 0.841, 0.880, 0.784, and 0.791, respectively, with CSM possessing the highest sensitivity and specificity.
CONCLUSIONS
The visual function of patients with DON is decreased. VFI, contrast sensitivity of low, medium, and high frequency, and 15° P100 wave amplitude might be effective indicators for early diagnosis of DON.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate whether dynamic monitoring of citrulline (Cit) has guiding value for early enteral nutrition (EN) in patients with severe gastrointestinal injury.
METHODS:
A observational study was conducted. A total of 76 patients with severe gastrointestinal injury admitted to different intensive care units of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from February 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled. Early EN was performed in 24-48 hours after admission as recommended by the guidelines. Those who did not terminate EN after 7 days were enrolled in the early EN success group, and those who terminated EN within 7 days due to persistent feeding intolerance or deterioration of general condition were enrolled in the early EN failure group. There was no intervention during the treatment. Serum Cit levels were measured by mass spectrometry at admission, before EN starting and EN 24 hours, respectively, and the changes in Cit within EN 24 hours (ΔCit) were calculated (ΔCit = EN 24-hour Cit-Cit before EN starting). Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to investigate the predictive value of ΔCit for early EN failure, and the optimal predictive value was calculated. Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for early EN failure and death at 28 days.
RESULTS:
Seventy-six patients were enrolled in the final analysis, of which 40 succeeded in early EN and 36 failed. There were significant differences in age, main diagnosis, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score at admission, blood lactic acid (Lac) before EN initiation and ΔCit between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.929, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.874-0.988, P = 0.018], ΔCit (OR = 2.026, 95%CI was 1.322-3.114, P = 0.001) and increased feeding rate within 48 hours (OR = 13.719, 95%CI was 1.795-104.851, P = 0.012) were independent risk factors for early EN failure in patients with severe gastrointestinal injury. ROC curve analysis showed that ΔCit had a good predictive value for early EN failure in patients with severe gastrointestinal injury [area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.787, 95%CI was 0.686-0.887, P < 0.001], and the optimal predictive value of ΔCit was 0.74 μmol/L (sensitivity was 65.0%, specificity was 75.0%). Combined with the optimal predictive value of ΔCit, "overfeeding" was defined as ΔCit < 0.74 μmol/L and increased feeding within 48 hours. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 0.825, 95%CI was 0.732-0.930, P = 0.002), APACHE II score (OR = 0.696, 95%CI was 0.518-0.936, P = 0.017) and early EN failure (OR = 181.803, 95%CI was 3.916-8 439.606, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for 28-day death in patients with severe gastrointestinal injury. The new variable "overfeeding" was also associated with an increased risk of death at 28 days (OR = 27.816, 95%CI was 1.023-755.996, P = 0.048).
CONCLUSIONS
Dynamic monitoring of Cit has guiding value for early EN in patients with severe gastrointestinal injury.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of augmented renal clearance (ARC)on blood trough concentration of patients receiving high-dose regimen of teicoplanin. METHODS :Patients who received high-dose regimen of teicoplanin in the ICU were prospectively collected from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University/Suzhou Municipal Hospital during Jul. 2018-Jun. 2020. They were divided into ARC group and normal renal function group according to corrected creatinine clearance. The dosage regimen of teicoplanin in the two groups were loading dose of 600 mg,q12 h×3 doses,maintenance dose of 6-10 mg/kg,qd,and the dosage was adjusted in combination with creatinine clearance rate and blood trough concentration. The trough concentration of blood samples which were collected 30 min before the 4th and 8th-10th dosage of teicoplanin were determined by HPLC. Trough concentration ,clinical efficacy ,Gram-positive bacterial clearance rate and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS :A total of 56 patients were included and divided into ARC group (18 cases)and normal renal function group (38 cases). ARC group had younger age (P<0.001)and lower serum albumin level (P=0.025)than normal renal function group. The trough concentrations before administration of the 4th and 8th-10th dosage in ARC group were lower than normal renal function group (P=0.034;P=0.035). The trough concentrations in the ARC group and normal renal function group before 8th-10th dosage were all higher than 30 min before the 4th dosage (P=0.003;P<0.001). The clinical efficacy rate and the clearance rate of Gram-positive bacteria in ARC group were 77.8% and 76.2%,which were lower than those of the normal renal function group ,but there was no statistical difference (P=0.195;P=0.223). There was no liver function damage ,hemocytopenia and allergic reaction in both groups ,but in the normal renal function group ,the causal relationship between acute renal damage and teicoplanin was assessed as “very likely ”in one patient. CONCLUSIONS :ARC patients are younger ,most of them have hypoproteinemia,and the blood trough concentrations of teicoplanin in high-dose regimen are significantly lower than those of normal renal function patients. For critical ill ARC patients ,it is advisable to increase the loading dose of teicoplanin to make the trough concentration reach the target concentration range quickly.

Objective To evaluate the early stage effects of partial two?stage exchange (PTE) for infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in order to improve surgical treatment outcomes. Methods Twelve patients (7 males and 5 females) of infect?ed THA treated by PTE between September 2000 and February 2016 were included with an average of 59 years old (range, 40-74 years old). The femoral stem prosthesis was preserved when we ensured that it was not infected and with well fixation during opera?tion. The acetabular prosthesis was totally replaced. Furthermore, the secondary surgery was performed on patients who were free from infection for at least 3 months. At the follow?up duration, the pelvic X?ray was examined to access the presence of loosening of the prosthesis. The inflammatory index was recorded. Hip function was assessed by the Harris hip score, and the visual analogue score (VAS) and patient's subjective satisfaction were recorded by the questionnaire. Results All of the 12 patients were fol?lowed up for a mean of 33.3 months (range, 24-48 months). We achieved a 92% (11/12) success rate. One patient resuffered infec?tion, which was controlled after the second debridement. The preoperative Harris score of 12 patients was 23-57, with an average of 40.83±10.62. All patients had significant improvement in hip function after PTE. The Harris score reached 59.58±4.34 at one month after surgery, and reached 64.58±9.08 after three months and 86.75±4.58 at the last follow?up. There was significantly dif?ferent when compared with the preoperative Harris score. At the last follow?up, the length difference between the lower limbs was less than 1cm in all patients. Two patients did not complain of pain, while other 10 patients got a VAS score of less than 2 points. The patient's subjective satisfaction rating was 100%. Conclusion PTE could be a valuable alternative treatment for infection af?ter THA. The infection control rate and clinical outcomes are comparable to those of two?stage exchange.
