Objective:To explore an applicative value of a 5-type precise diagnostic technique in integrated precise repair and reconstruction of digit-tip injuries.Methods:From March 2012 to June 2022, 45 digit-tip injuries (38 patients, with an average age of 33 years old) were classified under microscope on the basis of effectiveness of blood vessels remained in the severed tissue. Among the injured digits, there were 15 thumbs, 9 index fingers, 16 middle fingers, 4 ring fingers and 1 little finger. The diagnosis was categorised into 5 types according to involvement of blood vessels: Type I, injury of proper palmar digital artery (10 digits) ; Type II, injury of small artery (5 digits) ; Type Ⅲ, injury of whole vein (4 digits) ; Type IV, injury of superficial palmar arch (4 digits) ; and Type V, vessels missing (22 digits). The timing and therapeutic method of surgery were selected based on the precise classification of 5 types of diagnosis: (1) For type Ⅰ-Ⅳ injuries, 16 patients (23 digits) received in situ tissue replantation after emergency classification. Of which, type Ⅰ-Ⅱ injuries received conventional replantation, type Ⅲ injuries had replantation with arterialised vein, and type IV injuries received replantation with artery-vein shunt. (2) For the type V injuries, 22 patients (22 digits), staged and categorised flap reconstruction with toe flaps were performed. Of which, 7 were performed in emergency surgery, 12 in subemergency surgery and 3 in elective surgery. Based on the severity of defects, small tissue flaps of toe were used in reconstruction of type V injuries and following toe flaps were employed: 9 hallux nail flaps, 3 hallux nail flaps (for reconstruction of distal phalanx), 5 hallux fibular flaps, 3 hallux abdominal flaps and 2 compound tissue flaps with nail bed of the second toe. The sizes of the 45 replanted/transferred tissues flaps were 1.0 cm×0.6 cm×0.4 cm-2.2 cm×1.5 cm×0.8 cm. Donor sites directly sutured. Medical APP was applied in the rehabilitation exercises. Functions of digits were assessed by scheduled follow-ups at outpatient clinic and via remote medical APP to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:All small tissue blocks and (or) tissue flaps survived after replantation and (or) flap reconstruction of 45 injured digits. Postoperative follow-up lasted for 6 months to 7 years, with 36 months in average. The appearances of the reconstructed digit-tips were close to normal digits, with TPD at 3-7 mm. According to the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ), 32 patients (37 digits) were in excellent, 5 patients (7 digits) in good, and 1 patient (1 digit) in poor, with 97.78% of excellent and good rate.Conclusion:Five-type precise diagnostic technique is the key to the integrated and precise reconstruction of digit-tip injuries. This method has been clinically validated and achieved realistic recovery from the injured digits.

During the follow-up, 3 cases not achieving pathological complete response had tumor recurrence and no patient died. The disease free survival rate of the 27 patients was 88.9%. Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery after short-course radiotherapy followed by sequential chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer is safe and feasible, with satisfied short-term efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of endoscopic ultrasonography for rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (R-NENs) of different origin and its influence on the diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze 56 cases of R-NENs diagnosed by miniprobe endoscopic ultrasonography (MEUS) and/or pathology in the Endoscopy Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to July 2021. The endoscopic ultrasonography characteristics, pathological features, surgical selection and the follow-up of R-NENs originating from deep mucosa and submucosa were compared.Results:Among the 56 patients, 49 were diagnosed as R-NENs.The diagnostic sensitivity, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of MEUS for R-NENs were 93.88% (46/49), 86.79% (46/53) and 82.14% (46/56), respectively. R-NENs were mainly manifested by medium hypoechoic with MEUS [95.92% (47/49)]. Three R-NENs originated from submucosa were missed diagnosis, with 1 case presenting hypoechoic and 2 cases presenting hyperechoic. There were no significant differences in the tumor diameter, echo intensity under endoscopic ultrasonography, echo uniformity and pathological grade composition between deep mucosal origin and submucosal origin R-NENS (all P>0.05), but there was significant differences in the distance from tumor to anus ( χ2=5.011, P=0.025). The proportion of the distance from tumor to anus ≤5 cm of submucosal origin lesions was significantly higher than that of deep mucosal origin [43.75% (14/32) VS 17.65% (3/17)]. Endoscopic submucosal dissection [67.5% (27/40)] and transanal endoscopic microsurgery [25.0% (10/40)] were the major treatment method, but there were no significant differences in endoscopic ultrasonography manifestations and pathological grading of R-NENs between these two surgical procedures. Conclusion:There is no significant difference in endoscopic ultrasonography manifestations and pathological grade of R-NENs between deep mucosal origin and submucosal origin, suggesting that the prognosis is similar between the two types. It is no significant influence of endoscopic ultrasonography manifestations of R-NENs at different levels of origin.

Objective: To systematically review the efficacy of organized physical activity intervention from 1992 to 2020 on physical fitness of young children aged 3-6 in China. Methods: Studies were searched in databases of CNKI, Wan Fang, VIP, EBSCO Sports and Web of Science. The randomized controlled trials of physical fitness of young children aged 3-6 in China were selected by using Chinese and English keywords: (preschool OR kindergarten OR young children OR nursery) AND (physical fitness) AND (randomized controlled trial) AND (Chinese OR China). Results: Twenty three studies were included, involving 2 386 young children. Meta analysis showed that physical activity had a moderate to high effect on young children s standing long jump ( SMD =0.61, 95% CI =0.46-0.76), sit and reach ( SMD =0.53, 95% CI =0.36-0.70), 10 meter shuttle run ( SMD =-0.84, 95% CI =-1.08- -0.61), continuous jumping on two feet ( SMD =-0.74, 95% CI =-0.90- -0.58), and walking the balance beam ( SMD =-0.54, 95% CI = -0.70- -0.39). On the other hand, physical activity had a small effect on young children s throwing ball ( SMD =0.39, 95% CI =0.26-0.51). Conclusion Physical activity intervention shows significant effects on physical fitness of young children in China. Effecs on physical fitness indicated by different types of indicators depends on physical activity content, duration, frequency, child age and other factors.

Objective:To analyze the value of serum ceruloplasmin (CP) levels in predicting the outcome of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods:The clinical data of 1 751 patients with HBV-ACLF treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2010 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to 30-day outcomes, 1 220 survival patients were classified into group A; 465 fatal patients and 46 patients receiving liver transplantation were classified into group B (total 531 cases). Risk factors associated with 30-day survival were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression. ROC curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive value of CP on the 30-day outcome of patients with HBV-ACLF.Results:Multivariate analysis indicated that CP, albumin and alpha fetoprotein were independent protective factors for 30-day survival of HBV-ACLF patients ( P<0.05 or <0.01), while age, white blood cell count, AST, total bilirubin, INR, serum creatinine, HBV DNA, hepatorenal syndrome and hepatic encephalopathy were independent risk factors ( P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CP was 0.570 (95% CI 0.540-0.599, P<0.01); while AUC of MELD score was 0.783 (95% CI 0.759-0.807, P<0.01) and MELD-Na score was 0.774 (95% CI 0.750-0.798, P<0.01). Compared with MELD score and MELD-Na score, the value of CP in predicting the 30-day prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients was lower ( P<0.01). The cut-off value of CP for predicting 30-day outcome of HBV-ACLF patients was 0.173 g/L, with the sensitivity of 69.4%, and the specificity of 41.6%. According to the cut-off value, the patients were divided into low CP level group (level of CP<0.173 g/L) and high CP level group (level of CP≥0.173 g/L); the 30-day cumulative survival rate of low CP level group was lower than that of high CP level group ( χ2=17.75, P<0.01). Conclusions:Serum CP level can predict the 30-day outcome of HBV-ACLF patients to a certain extent.

Objective: To analyze the consistency of gastroscopic biopsy in the diagnosis of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN) and postoperative pathological diagnosis, and explore the risk factors associated with missed diagnosis of HGIN. Methods: From January 2012 to December 2018, the clinical data of 63 patients who were diagnosed with HGIN by gastroscopic biopsy prior to operation and underwent complete resection in the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 8 females, with a median age of 60 (35 to 76) years old. The gender, age, endoscopic lesion shape, longest diameter, CT image and inflammatory markers were analyzed, to investigate the correlation between them and pathological upgrading after operation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the cut off value of measurement data, and the comparison of count data was performed by chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method. Univariate analysis was used to screen potential risk factors, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was futher utilized to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative pathological upgrading. Results: A total of 63 patients were enrolled, including 47 cases underwent surgical resection and 16 cases underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD). Among them, 19 patients(30.2%) were pathologically diagnosed with HGIN, while 44 patients(69.8%) were pathologically diagnosed with invasive cancer after resection. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT showed that 11 patients(17.5%) with perigastric fat spiculation around the lesion, all of which were confirmed as invasive carcinoma after operation. Univariate analysis showed that the longest diameter of the lesion ≥2 cm (P=0.002), ulcer lesions under gastroscopy (P=0.013), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) ≥103 (P=0.030), lymph node enlargement (P=0.046) and spiculation of the perigastric fat (P=0.025) were significant differences between the groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that the longest diameter of the lesion ≥2 cm (P=0.033) and ulcer lesions under gastroscopy (P=0.007) were independent risk factors for predicting postoperative pathological upgrading. Conclusions Gastroscopy biopsy in the diagnosis of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of the stomach has poor consistency with pathological diagnosis after operation. Clinicians should take active surgical intervention, especially for cases with the longest diameter of the lesions ≥2 cm, ulcer or perigastric fat spiculation on CT.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a beads-based light-initiated chemiluminescent assay (LICA) for quantitation of cow milk component (Bos d 5) specific IgG 4 antibody in human serum. Methods: The sIgG 4 -LICA was performed by incubated serum samples with biotinylated allergens, emission beads coated with mouse anti-human IgG 4 antibody and streptavidin-coated sensitizer beads. The reaction conditions of sIgG 4 -LICA were optimized and the analytical performance was evaluated. Results: The precision of intra-assay, within-day and inter-assay (coefficient of variation) were 1.78% to 3.13%, 6.65% to 8.41% and 7.94% to 12.30%, respectively. The functional sensitivity of this assay was 4.71 ng/mL. For the linear range, the sIgG 4 -LICA had a good linear relationship within the range between 28.13 and 1 800 ng/mL, and the linear regression equation was Y=0.98X-1.31(r 2 =0.997). Maximum dilution limit was 1∶64. The disturbing rates measured by adding hemoglobin, triacylglycerol, total bilirubin, acid resistance and biotin to human sera with different concentrations of Bos d 5 sIgG 4 were from -6.38% to 8.60%. Conclusions The sIgG 4 -LICA introduced in this study was demonstrated to have effective performance for quantitation of allergen-specific IgG 4 and can meet the need of clinical requirement.

Objective To evaluate the changes in activation of γ?aminobutyric acid(GABA)sig?naling pathway during ventilator?induced brain injury in rats. Methods Thirty?six pathogen?free adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were divided into 3 groups(n=12 each)using a random number table: low tidal volume group(LV group), ventilation with high tidal volume for 2 h group(HV1 group)and ventilation with high tidal volume for 6 h group(HV2group). The rats were mechanically ven?tilated for 2 h with the tidal volume set at 10 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group LV. The rats were mechanically ventilated for 2 h with the tidal volume set at 40 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group HV1. The rats were mechanically ventilated for 6 h with the tidal volume set at 40 ml∕kg and the respiratory rate 40 breaths∕min in group HV2. Blood samples were collected at the end of ven?tilation for determination of serum neuron?specific enolase(NSE)and S100β protein concentrations by en?zyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Six rats were then sacrificed and their brains were removed for determi?nation of interleukin?1β(IL?1β)and tumor necrosis factor?α(TNF?α)contents(by enzyme?linked im?munosorbent assay)and expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase(GAD)and GABAAreceptors(by Western blot). Morris water maze test was performed on 2nd day after the end of ventilation. Results Compared with group LV, the serum concentrations of NSE and S100β protein and contents of IL?1β and TNF?α were significantly increased, the expression of GAD and GABAAreceptors was up?regulated, the es?cape latency was prolonged, and the percentage of swimming distance at the original platform was decreased in HV1and HV2groups(P<0.05). Compared with group HV1, the serum concentrations of NSE and S100β protein and contents of IL?1β and TNF?α were significantly increased, the expression of GAD and GABAAreceptors was up?regulated, the escape latency was prolonged, and the percentage of swimming distance at the original platform was decreased in group HV2(P<0.05). Conclusion Activation of GABA signaling pathway is enhanced during ventilator?induced brain injury, which may be involved in the patho?physiological mechanism of ventilator?induced brain injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfu injection preconditioning on ventilator-induced brain injury in rats.Methods Sixty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 300-320 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),ventilator-induced brain injury group (group VIBI) and Shenfu injection group (group SF).Rats were mechanically ventilated for 6 h with tidal volume of 40 ml/kg in VIBI and SF groups.Rats were mechanicaliy ventilated for 6 h with tidal volume of 10 ml/kg in group C.Shenfu injection 20 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before ventilation in group SF.Blood samples were collected at 2 and 6 h of ventilation for measurement of the concentrations of serum S100β protein (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Then the rats were sacrificed at the end of ventilation,and brains were removed for determination of the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-o) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and expression of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor in brain tissues (by Westem blot).Results Compared with group C,the serum concentrations of S100β protein at each time point of ventilation and contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in brain tissues were significantly increased,and the expression of GAD and GABAA receptor was down-regulated in VIBI and SF groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group VIBI,the serum concentrations of S100β protein at each time point of ventilation and contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in brain tissues were significantly decreased,and the expression of GAD and GABAA receptor was up-regulated in group SF (P＜0.05).Conclusion Shenfu injection preconditioning can relieve ventilator-induced brain injury in rats,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting inflammatory responses and activating GABA signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) preconditioning on pathological stretch-induced damage to type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells by mechanical ventilation.Methods A549 cells cultured in vitro (0.2× 106/ml,2.5 ml/well) were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),pathological stretch group (group P) and GABA preconditioning+pathological stretch group (group G).A549 cells were exposed to 20％ cyclic stretch at 0.3 Hz for 6 h in groups P and G;GABA 50 μmol/L was given 30 min before cyclic stretch in group G.After the end of pathological stretch,the cells were collected for determination of the cell viability by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release by colorimetricmethod;the expression of F-actin was observed with indirect immunofluorescence;the expression of Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1) and GABAAR were determined by western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,the amount of LDH released was increased,the expression of ROCK1 was significantly increased and the expression of GABAAR was significantly decreased in groups P and G (P＜0.05);Compared with group P,the cell viability was significantly increased,the amount of LDH released was decreased,F-actin was re constructed,the expression of ROCK1 was significantly decreased and the expression of GABAAR was significantly increased (P＜0.05) in group G.The reconstruction of F-actin in group P was better than that in group G and worse than that in group C.Conclusion GABA preconditioning can attenuate pathological stretch-induced damage to type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells probably through up regulating the expression of GABAA receptor.
