【Objective】 To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided autologous platelet- rich plasma (PRP) injection for the treatment of common peroneal nerve compression syndrome, and to provide reference for the treatment of peripheral nerve compression diseases. 【Methods】 A patient with common peroneal nerve compression syndrome was treated with ultrasound-guided injection of autologous PRP for nerve water separation. The efficacy of PRP injection treatment on common peroneal nerve compression syndrome was evaluated by observing the patient′s symptoms, electrophysiological and imaging manifestations. 【Results】 After systematic injection therapy, the patient′s symptoms, signs and electromyography showed significant improvement, and there were no significant adverse reactions after 3 months of follow-up. 【Conclusion】 Ultrasound guided PRP injection therapy improves neurological dysfunction in common peroneal nerve compression syndrome.

The ravages of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) worldwide have sped up the development of relevant vaccines, which is accompanied by public concerns over possible adverse effects. We report a rare case of a 39-year-old woman who suffered from severe hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis with normal hemoglobin A1c four days after SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccine, which is consistent with the diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D). She received insulin therapy and recovered after 24 days from onset of the symptoms. This is the first case of new-onset FT1D after SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccination and one of only six that developed after any form of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.We hope to raise awareness of this potential adverse consequence and recommend careful monitoring after vaccination in patients even without a medical history of diabetes.

Objective To explore the relationship between hypermethylation and expression of cadherin 1(CDH1)with lung cancer.Methods The semi-quantitative real-time methylation specific polymerage chsin reaction(MSP)were used to detect the promoter's relative methylation ratio of CDH1 in all 30 cases of lung cancer tissues,para-cancer lung tissues,distal lung tissues and 5 non-cancer lung tissue samples.Nested RT-PCR was used to detect the expression ratio of CDH1 mRNA.The western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of E-cad protein.The immunohistoeheroical method was used to confirm some negative results of western blot analysis.Results The relative methylation ratios was 0.13%-450.67%(median:33.61%)in cancer tissues,0.00%-177.02%(median:18.04%)in para-cancer tissues,and 0.00%-51.68%(median:13.69%)in far-cancer tissues.Statistical significance between cancer and pars-cancer tissues(Z=-2.355,P<0.05)and between cancer and disial tissues(Z=-3.527,P<0.01)were found.The results of nested RT-PCR showed that there were statistical sigaificance of mRNA expression between lung cancer tissues and pars-cancer tissues,distal lung tissues or non-cancer lung tissues(F=9.081,P<0.01).The results of western blot showed that the positive expression rate of E-cad was 36.7% in lung cancer tissues,70.0%in para-cancer tissues,and 96.7% in far-cancer lung tissues,respectively.There was a statistical significance of positive rate pf E-cad expression between lung cancer tissues and pars-cancer tissues or diatal tissues(X2=6.70,24.30,7.68,P<0.01).Conclusions The study showed that transcription of CDH1 mRNA would be silenced by hypermethylation of CDH1 promoter,resulting in the decreased expression of E-cad.The aberrant hypermethylation of E-cad is implicated in lung cancer.
