With the development of clinical related disciplines, the update and establishment of relevant standards/guidelines at home and abroad, GBZ 185-2006 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene (hereinafter referred to as “GBZ 185-2006”) was unable to meet clinical needs. Therefore, the GBZ 185-2006 was revised based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, in accordance with relevant laws/regulations and relevant standards/guidelines in combination with review of research data on occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) home and abroad, and the development of clinical practice and clinical related disciplines. The main modifications include: adding terms and definitions of OMDT, modifying the description of clinical manifestations of the diagnostic principles, adjusting the description of latency, deleting the diagnostic requirement of the incidence probability, adding the specific allergen patch test as the etiological diagnostic index, standardizing the application scope, operating procedure and precautions of the specific allergen patch test. In addition, the relevant content of “Basic Characteristics and Clinical Types of Skin Damage of Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene” in Appendix A is improved, the treatment principles are revised, and the content of new progress in treatment, artificial liver application, are added. The revised GBZ 185-2024 Diagnostic Standard for Occupational Medicamentose-like Dermatitis due to Trichloroethylene is more scientific and practical, and can provide technical basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of OMDT in medical and health institutions.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical effects of unilateral superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap combined with contralateral centripetal advancement flap in repairing huge pressure ulcers in the sacrococcygeal region.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From June 2020 to April 2023, 15 patients with stage Ⅳ pressure ulcers with sacrococcygeal defect area greater than 10.0 cm×10.0 cm who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 8 males and 7 females, aged from 30 to 86 years. The pressure ulcers before debridement were all accompanied by different degree of infection and necrosis. Debridement and negative pressure sealing and irrigation treatment were performed in stage Ⅰ. After debridement, the skin and soft tissue defect area was 12.0 cm×10.5 cm to 20.0 cm×17.0 cm. After the wound bed infection was controlled, unilateral superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap combined with contralateral centripetal advancement flap was used to repair the pressure ulcer wounds in stage Ⅱ. The perforator flap area was 12.0 cm×7.0 cm to 16.0 cm×10.5 cm. The donor area wound was sutured directly. After operation, the survival, complications, and wound healing of flap donor area were observed. During regular follow-up, the recurrence of pressure ulcers, the appearance and texture of the flap, and the scars in the donor site were observed.Results:After operation, 1 patient had fluid accumulation under the flap and survived after drainage and dressing change. The flaps of the other patients survived well without infection, local necrosis, and sinus formation under the flap. The wounds in the donor area healed well. All patients were followed up for more than 6 months, and there was no recurrence of pressure ulcers. The appearance of the flap was not bloated, the texture was soft, and the compression resistance and elasticity were good. The donor site wound healed well without obvious scar.Conclusions:The surgical method of repairing giant sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers with unilateral superior gluteal artery perforator propeller flap combined with contralateral centripetal advancement flap is simple and easy to operate. It can repair large defect area with the donor area being sutured directly, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the role of mindfulness and negative cognitive bias between behavioral inhibition system and social anxiety among college students.Methods:From October 12th to November 8th of 2012, a total of 747 college students from a university in Tianjin were sampled and assessed using the behavioral inhibition system scale (BIS), the mindful attention awareness scale (MAAS), the negative cognitive processing bias questionnaire (NCPBQ), and the social avoidance and distress scale (SAD). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and tests for mediating effects were performed by SPSS 20.0 and Mplus 8.0.Results:The scores of behavioral inhibition system, social anxiety, mindfulness and negative cognitive bias were (15.3±2.4), (12.7±7.2), (3.4±0.8) and (45.6±11.5), respectively. The scores of BIS, NCPBQ, and SAD were positively correlated with each other ( r=0.27-0.49, all P<0.001). The scores of MAAS were negatively correlated with the scores of BIS, NCBPQ, and SAD ( r=-0.33--0.28, all P<0.001). The behavioral inhibition system exerted its influence on social anxiety through three pathways. The mediating effect size of mindfulness was 0.04, accounting for 16.0% of the total effect. The mediating effect size of negative cognitive bias was 0.17, accounting for 68.0% of the total effect. And the chain mediating effect size of mindfulness and negative cognitive bias was 0.04, accounting for 16.0% of the total effect. Conclusion:The effects of behavioral inhibition system on social anxiety in college students are individually mediated by mindfulness and negative cognitive biases, as well as their chain mediating effects.

Objective To establish the instability model of goat cervical vertebrae, and test biomechanical stability of the novel arc cervical titanium mesh with endplate ring. Methods The anatomical data from cervical vertebrae of adult goats were measured, so as to select a new type of arch cervical titanium mesh with endplate ring which was suitable for goat cervical vertebrae. A total of 24 goats with preserved articular capsule, ligaments and intervertebral disc were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group A (n=6, normal group) didn’t receive any special treatment, while Group B (n=6, model group) received partial resection of C4 vertebrae as well as upper and lower intervertebral disc. On the basis of models in Group B, Group C (n=6, experimental group) was installed with the novel arch cervical titanium mesh and fixed by plate and screw, and Group D (n=6,control group) was installed with traditional straight titanium mesh and fixed by plate and screw. The ranges of motion (ROMs) for 4 groups of specimens during flexion, extension, left/right lateral bending, left/right rotation under 2.0 N·m load were measured, and their three-dimensional (3D) motion stability was tested. The displacement of Group C and Group D under 200 N compression force was measured, the stiffness was calculated, and the anti settlement ability of the whole specimen was tested. Results The ROMs of Group A in all directions were smaller than those of Group B,the ROMs of Group A were larger than those of Group C, and the ROMs of Group C during flexion were smaller than those of Group D (P<0.05). The stiffness of Group C was higher than that of Group D (P<0.05).The compression displacement of Group C was smaller than that of Group D(P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with the straight titanium mesh, the novel arc titanium mesh is more consistent with the physiological curvature of cervical verebrae, and has better stability than the traditional titanium mesh during the most frequent flexion activities of cervical verebrae. Moreover, compression displacement of the novel arc titanium mesh under short-term stress is smaller than that of the straight titanium mesh, and its postoperative anti-settlement is better than that of the straight titanium mesh, which is worthy of further experiment and clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the genetic characteristics of 671 Chinese pedigrees affected with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD).
METHODS:
Clinical data of the pedigrees were collected. Multiplex PCR, multiple ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA), next generation sequencing (NGS), Sanger sequencing and long read sequencing were used to detect the variant of DMD gene in the probands and their mothers, and prenatal diagnosis was provided for high risk pregnant women.
RESULTS:
Among 178 pedigrees analyzed by multiplex PCR, 44 variants of the DMD gene were detected, with the genetic diagnosis attained in 110 pedigrees. Among 493 pedigrees analyzed by MLPA in combination with NGS or Sanger sequencing, 294 pathogenic/possible pathogenic variants were identified, among which 45 were unreported previously, and the genetic diagnosis attained in 484 pedigrees. Structural variants of the DMD gene were identified in two pedigrees by long-read sequencing. Among 444 probands, 341 have inherited the DMD gene variant from their mothers (76.8%). Among 390 women with a high-risk, 339 have opted to have natural pregnancy and 51 chose preimplantation genetic testing for monogenetic disease (PGT-M). The detection rate of neonatal patients and carriers following natural pregnancy was significantly higher than that for PGT-M.
CONCLUSION
Combined application of MLPA, NGS, Sanger sequencing and long-read sequencing is an effective strategy to detect DMD/BMD. PGT-M can effectively reduce the risk of fetuses. Above finding has expanded the spectrum of DMD gene variants and provided a basis for reproductive intervention for pregnancies with a high risk for DMD/BMD.

Objective:To investigate the micro RNA (miR)-1182 expression in glioma, and explore the regulation role and mechanism of miR-1182 overexpression in malignant phenotype of glioma cells.Methods:(1) The data of miR-1182 expressions of 198 glioma samples and survival of these glioma patients were downloaded from the official website of Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas(CGGA), and the differences of miR-1182 expression levels among glioma tissues of different pathologic types and different WHO grades were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the relation between miR-1182 expression level and patient survival. (2) Human glioma cell lines A172, LN229, T98G, U87, and U251, and human normal astrocyte cell line NHA were routinely cultured in vitro, and the miR-1182 expression levels in each group were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). (3) U87 and U251 cells were divided into miR-1182 transfection group and negative control group; the miR-1182 mimics and miR-1182 negative control sequence were transfected, respectively. After 48 h of transfection, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining was used to detect the cell proliferation ability, flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis, Transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration ability, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of cyclin (C-myC, C-Jun, CCND1, and P21), phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) pathway related proteins (N-cadherin, β-catenin, and vimentin). Results:(1) The miR-1182 expressions in glioma tissues of WHO grading III and IV were significantly lower as compared with those in glioma tissues of WHO grading II ( P<0.05). The median survival time in patients from the low miR-1182 expression group ([701.00±11.14] d) was significantly shorter than that in the high miR-1182 expression group ([1812.00±23.21] d, P<0.05). (2) As compared with that in NHA cell group, the miR-1182 expression levels in A172, LN229, T98G, U87 and U251 cell groups were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the decrease was most significant in U87 and U251 cell groups. (3) As compared with the negative control group, the U87 and U251 cells in miR-1182 transfection group had significantly weaker proliferation ability, significantly higher apoptosis rate, significantly decreased number of transmembrane cells, significantly decreased protein expression levels of C-MyC, C-Jun and CCND1, significantly increased P21 protein expression level, significantly decreased expression levels of PI3K, phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, Akt and p-Akt, and significantly decreased expression levels of N-cadherin, β-catenin and vimentin ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Glioma patients with low miR-1182 expression have poor prognosis. Low miR-1182 expression is noted in glioma cells. Overexpression of miR-1182 can inhibit the malignant phenotype of glioma cells, which may be related to cell cycle-related proteins, PI3K/Akt, and EMT pathway ralated proteins.
