This article summarized Professor TU Jinwen's experience in treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis （ICAS） with principles of supplementing deficiency， resolving toxins and unblocking Collaterals. He believes that toxin damaging brain collaterals is the core pathogenesis of ICAS， and thereafter proposed supplementing deficiency， resolving toxins， and unblocking collaterals be the basic treatment method. The emptiness of brain collaterals is the source of the disease. For cases where there is spleen kidney depletion and insufficiency of original qi， the modified Sijunzi Decoction and Liuwei Dihuang Pills （四君子汤合六味地黄丸） could be used to fortify the spleen and tonify the kidneys to enrich the collaterals. The accumulation of turbidity stasis toxin in brain collaterals is essential components of the pathogenesis. For cases where turbidity and stasis combine together， inducing toxins and obstructing the colla-terals， the modified Taohong Siwu Decoction and Erchen Decoction （桃红四物汤合二陈汤） could be used to eliminate toxins and dispel knots to unblock the collaterals. Yin toxins obstructing the latent collaterals represent the gradual progression of pathogenic factors. For cases where turbid stasis transform into cold and yin toxins hide in the collaterals， the modified Buyang Huanwu Decoction and Ditan Decoction （补阳还五汤合涤痰汤） could be used to remove the toxin， warm and activate the collaterals. Heat toxins damaging the collaterals signify aggravated changes in disease. For cases where turbid stasis transforms into heat and toxins injure the brain collaterals， the modified Dachaihu Decoction and Huanglian Jiedu Decoction （大柴胡汤合黄连解毒汤） could be used to cool blood and dredge the fu viscera to clear collaterals.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of molecular hydrogen in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods:Balb/c male mice were randomly(random number) divided into control group, control+H 2, LPS and LPS+H 2 group with 6 mice in each group. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and Fe 2+ in lung tissue were detected by kits. The lung tissue morphology was observed. The infiltration levels of F4/80 positive macrophages in lung tissue were detected by immunofluorescence staining. A549 cells were divided into control, control+H 2, erastin and erastin+H 2 group. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde, (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (GSH), number of cell death and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release in each group were detected by kits. Nrf2, GPX4, and HO-1mRNA were quantified by real-time PCR, the protein expression level of Nrf2 was detected by western blot, and the nuclear translocation level of Nrf2 was observed by immunofluorescence. The chi-square test was performed before the measurement data were counted. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare differences between multiple groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the histopathological damage was aggravated, and the levels of MDA, Fe 2+ significantly increased in the LPS group, and F4/80 positive immune cells infiltration significantly increased (all P<0.05). Compared with LPS group, the degree of lung injury in LPS+H 2 group significantly reduced (all P<0.05). In vitro experiments, compared with the control group, the ROS, MDA levels, number of cell death and LDH release significantly increased in erastin group (all P<0.05), while GSH, and GPX4 mRNA levels decreased (all P<0.05). HO-1mRNA and Nrf2 nuclear translocation levels increased (all P<0.05). Compared with erastin group, ROS, MDA levels, cell death number and LDH release decreased in earstin+H 2 group (all P<0.05). The levels of GSH, GPX4 mRNA, Nrf2 mRNA, HO-1 mRNA and Nrf2 nuclear translocation levels increased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Molecular hydrogen attenuates LPS-induced ALI by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation to inhibit ferroptosis of alveolar epithelial cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of MDM2 inhibitor RG-7388 on the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of diffuse large B-lymphoma (DLBCL) cells. Methods DLBCL cell strains SUDHL2 and HBL1 were treated with 2, 4, and 8 μmol/LRG7388, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 and EdU methods. Apoptosis was measured by Annexin V–FITC/PI double staining and Caspase 3/7-Glo enzyme activity methods. Cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry. Changes in the expression of cell cycle and apoptosis-related proteins were determined by Western blot. Results The IC₅₀ of RG7388 for inhibiting SUDHL2 and HBL1 cells were 3.36 and 3.76 μmol/L, respectively, and the inhibitory effect of RG7388 was dose dependent. The proportions of G₁ phase and apoptotic cells in the SUDHL2 and HBL1 cells treated with different doses of RG7388 were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The activity of Caspase 3/7 increased gradually with RG7388 concentration, compared with that in the control group. The expression levels of p53, p27, p21, and PARP increased, whereas the expression of Mcl-1 and Bcl-x_L was down-regulated (all P<0.05). Conclusion MDM2 inhibitor RG-7388 inhibits the proliferation of DLBCL cells, triggers cell cycle arrest in the G₁ phase, and induces apoptosis through the p53 pathway.

Objective: To analyze clinical features and electroneuromyography (ENMG) results of chronic mild occupational carbon disulfide poisoning cases. Methods: A total of 344 patients diagnosed with chronic mild occupational carbon disulfide poisoning based on GBZ 4-2002 Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Chronic Carbon Disulfide Poisoning were selected as study subjects from 2006 to 2019 using the retrospective study method. Their clinical data was collected and analyzed. Results: The main symptoms of the study subjects were dizziness, headache, insomnia, dreaming, memory impairment, numbness and weakness in the distal extremities. Positive signs mainly included symmetrical glove and stocking distribution like sensory disorders in the distal extremities, and the weakening or absent Achilles tendon reflex and knee reflex. The incidence of symptoms and signs increased with the length of service (all P<0.01). The incidence of fundus and venous changes in patients was 41.3%, which increased with the length of service (P<0.01). ENMG examination showed varying degrees of abnormalities in the peripheral motor and/or sensory nerves in all patients, with a higher incidence of motor nerve abnormalities than sensory nerve abnormalities (21.1% vs 3.7%, P<0.01). The incidence of motor nerve abnormality was higher on the right side than the left side (23.7% vs 18.5%, P<0.01). The incidences of motor nerve abnormalities from high to low in the order were median nerve, common peroneal nerve, ulnar nerve and posterior tibial nerve (34.9% vs 27.9% vs 16.6% vs 5.1%, P<0.01). The incidences of sensory nerve abnormalities from high to low in the order were median nerve, ulnar nerve and sural nerve (5.2% vs 5.1% vs 0.7%, P<0.01). The incidences of left ulnar nerve, right ulnar nerve and right median nerve were higher in male patients than in female patients (15.2% vs 5.3%, 24.0% vs 11.7%, 44.8% vs 28.7%, all P<0.05), while the incidences of the left and right common peroneal nerve in lower extremity motor nerve were lower in male patients than in female patients (18.4% vs 52.1%, 21.2% vs 46.8%, all P<0.01). Conclusion: Chronic mild occupational carbon disulfide poisoning was mainly manifested as multiple peripheral nerve injury. ENMG results showed that the distal motor nerve conduction abnormalities were more sensitive than the sensory nerve conduction abnormalities, with a higher degree of impairment in the upper limb than the lower limb, and more impairment in the right side than the left side.

Objective:To explore the psychological recovery pathway and support needs of second victims of nurses who have experienced medical adverse events through qualitative research.Methods:From June to December 2022, a purposive sampling method was used to select 20 nurses who had experienced level Ⅲ or above adverse events and voluntarily participated in this study from 3 grade A tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province and 1 grade A tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the research subjects and the data was analyze by using thematic analysis.Results:The psychological recovery path of nurses who had experienced medical adverse events included three stages, named as the plateau period, stress response period, and coping and growth period. The second victim of nurses hoped to receive support from the department′s environmental culture, organizational atmosphere, and non punitive culture, and nurses in the platform stage had a stronger need for the first two types of support; the nurses preferred emotional support from superiors, colleagues, family/friends during the stress response period, and preferred knowledge learning and training support during the coping and growth period.Conclusions:The psychological recovery of the second victim of nurses will go through a plateau period, a stress response period, and a coping and growth period. There are differences in support needs during each period, and more targeted intervention plans should be developed.

Objective:To analyze the status quo and influencing factors of accidental prolapse of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in children, so as to provide references for formulating preventive measures.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 268 pediatric patients who underwent catheterization at Intravenous Catheter Nursing Studio of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from January to December 2021 were selected as the research objects to analyze the incidence of PICC accidental prolapse. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PICC accidental prolapse.Results:Of the 1 268 children included in this study, 29 were excluded from follow-up and 1 239 children were eventually included. A total of 1 339 PICCs were implanted in 1 239 children, and the incidence of PICC accidental prolapse was 5.60% (75/1 339). Logistic regression analysis showed that whether the children had skin rash, time, location and catheter indentation time were the influencing factors for the occurrence of PICC accidental prolapse ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of children's PICC accidental prolapse is at a high level, which is affected by many factors. Nursing staff should formulate effective preventive measures according to the influencing factors of PICC accidental prolapse, reduce the occurrence of children's accidental catheterization and extend the retention time of PICC.

Objective:To establish a novel clinical application process of the optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) in the cranial frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), and to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of the OSMS in the intra-fraction motion monitoring of both cranial phantoms and cranial SRT patients fixed using the Q-Fix encompass immobilization system.Methods:The deviations of OSMS in the real-time motion monitoring were assessed by determining the deviations between the displacement of the cranial SRS phantoms detected by the OSMS and the predefined displacement of the Varian Edge six degrees of freedom (6DoF) couch. The ability of the OSMS to conduct real-time monitoring of the head movement was also analyzed when one camera was blocked by the rotary gantry of the accelerator and when the couch was at non-zero angles. Moreover, ten patients who received 50 fractions of cranial frameless SRT were enrolled in this study. All the patients were fixed using the Q-Fix Encompass system, and their intra-fraction motion was monitored using the OSMS. The intra-fraction errors of OSMS real-time monitoring throughout the treatment were obtained from the OSMS logs. The patients received cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after the beam delivery, and the six-dimensional errors were obtained as intra-fraction motion errors of the CBCT.Results:For the cranial phantoms, there was a close correlation between the OSMS monitoring deviations and the predefined displacement in six dimensions. The OSMS-detected 3D vector deviations in the translational and rotational directions were (0.28±0.10) mm and (0.15±0.09)°, respectively when the angel both the gantry and couch was 0° and were (0.35±0.13) mm and(0.17±0.09)°, respectively, when one camera was blocked. The OSMS monitoring deviations with the couch at a non-zero degree were greater than those at zero degree. The maximum deviations occurred when the couch was at 270° and were (0.69±0.19) mm and (0.32±0.12)°, respectively, in the translational and rotational directions. For the cranial SRT patients fixed using the Q-Fix Encompass system, the OSMS and CBCT showed comparable intra-fractional motion deviations, which were (0.40±0.26) and (0.29±0.10) mm, respectively in the translational direction and were (0.33±0.20)°and (0.26±0.08)° in the rotational direction.Conclusions:The OSMS is an effective tool for optically guided radiotherapy, which allows for intra-fraction real-time motion monitoring with sub-millimeter accuracy. Therefore, to ensure the accurate preformation of cranial SRS/SRT, it is necessary to conduct the intra-fractional position monitoring using OSMS.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) previously treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 76 patients with unresectable HCC who were treated with lenvatinib in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2019 to January 2020, and according to the treatment method, they were divided into TKI previously untreated group with 49 patients and TKI treatment-experienced group with 27 patients. The patients were observed till one year after enrollment, adjustment of treatment regimen, tumor progression, or death. The two groups were compared in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and incidence rate of adverse events. The t -test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. Results There were no significant differences between the TKI previously untreated group and the TKI treatment-experienced group in median PFS time (115 days vs 72 days, P =0.148), ORR (36.7% vs 18.5%, P =0.098), DCR (65.3% vs 55.6%, P =0.402), and incidence rates of grade ≥3 adverse events (24.5% vs 18.5%, P =0.550). Conclusion Patients with unresectable HCC previously treated with TKI can benefit from lenvatinib and have good safety, with similar results to those treated with TKI for the first time.

Objective:To explore the pain perception and cognition of children with malignant tumor and their parents during the disease treatment.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 179 children with malignant tumors and their 179 parents who were admitted to the day ward of Hematology and Oncology Center of Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2017 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects. The children and their parents were surveyed by using the self-developed Pain Questionnaire for Children with Malignant Tumor and the Pain Questionnaire for Parents of Children with Malignant Tumor. A total of 179 questionnaires were distributed, 179 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100.0%.Results:The incidence of pain during treatment in 179 parents and 179 children was 100.0% (179/179) and 98.3% (176/179) , respectively. The average scores of 179 parents and 179 children who considered the most severe pain during disease treatment were respectively (5.82±2.30) and (5.41±2.09) , and the average pain scores were (4.04±1.90) and (3.95±1.66) , respectively. There were statistically significant differences in pain perception between children and their parents during lumbar puncture/thecal injection, bone puncture, PICC catheter placement, indwelling needle puncture and venous blood collection ( P<0.05) . A total of 77.1% (138/179) of parents and 65.4% (117/179) of children had concerns about the use of analgesics, respectively. Conclusions:There is a high consistency between the severity of pain experienced by parents and the children's feelings during treatment. However, the parents feel that the unbearable treatment-related pain during the treatment of the disease is higher than that of children, and they are more passive than children in the attitude of receiving analgesics. Medical staff can listen to their parents' opinions during pain assessment, pay attention to education of parents before treatment-related operations, take measures to reduce or even avoid the occurrence of treatment-related pain and strengthen the training of pain relief measures.
