Objective:To investigate whether intestinal rehabilitation therapy (IRT)could optimize the effectiveness of IRT in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) caused by acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) with chronic multivessel lesions.Methods:Clinical data of 18 hospitalized patients diagnosed with AMI leading to SBS and undergoing IRT at the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from Jan 2012 to Oct 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Result:Following IRT, the revascularization group showed significantly greater increases in ASMI and grip strength compared to the control group [(0.28±0.26) kg/m 2vs. (0.02±0.21) kg/m 2, P=0.033, and (0.97±0.33) kg vs. (0.48±0.34) kg, P=0.007, respectively]. Similarly, the increase in EN intake was significantly higher in the revascularization group compared to the control group [(572.5±93.6) ml/d vs. (375.2±176.3) ml/d, P=0.012], accompanied by a greater improvement in intestinal nitrogen absorption rate [(25.06±14.06)% vs. (13.84±4.62)%, P=0.034] and a more substantial decrease in GSRS scores [(-15.88±3.94) vs. (-6.33±5.13), P=0.030]. Moreover, there were significant differences in the composition of EN formulations between the two groups after IRT ( P=0.046). Additionally, SF-36 scores at discharge were significantly higher in the revascularization group than that in the control group for five indicators including BP, GH, VT, SF, and MH ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with SBS resulting from AMI by chronic multivessel lesions, revascularization therapy may not leading to higher growth in weight and hematological nutritional indicators during IRT, but it is beneficial for improving muscle function, improving EN absorption, increasing the likelihood of PN independence, relieving gastrointestinal symptoms, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective:To investigate the role of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation for patients with ultra-short bowel syndrome.Methods:This study included 34 inpatients diagnosed with ultra-short bowel syndrome in the General Surgery Department of the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 2012 to October 2023. Patients were grouped based on whether they received intestinal rehabilitation and whether dietary fiber was added to the treatment plan, and were divided into three groups: nutritional therapy group (11 cases), growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (10 cases) and growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (13 cases). The therapeutic regimen and its changes, pre- and post-treatment parameters of hematology, nutrition, intestinal absorption, fecal consistency, and quality of life were recorded and compared, and the impact of different treatment regimens on clinical outcomes was analyzed.Results:Compared with nutrition treatment group and growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, the increase of enteral nutritional fluid, the decrease of parenteral nutritional energy, the increase of intestinal moisture absorption, the decrease of defecation times and the appreciation of hemoglobin were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same time, the levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein were significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Nutritional support combined with intestinal rehabilitation can significantly improve the nutritional status and intestinal absorption rate of ultra-short bowel syndrome patients. The use of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation regimen for ultra-short bowel syndrome patients yields more significant benefits, as evidenced by improved clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the effects of blood glucose target management combined with early hemoperfusion on inflammatory reaction and stress in patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HL-AP).Methods:A prospective cohort study was used. One hundred and fifty-nine patients with HL-AP from September 2019 to September 2022 in Zhoukou Central Hospital Affiliated to Xinxiang Medical University were selected. The patients were divided into group A, B and C by random number table method with 53 cases in each group. All patients were given routine treatment. On this basis, the patients in group A were given blood glucose target management, the patients in group B were given early hemoperfusion, and the patients in group C were given blood glucose target management combined with early hemoperfusion. Before treatment and 7 d after treatment, the inflammatory factors (including interleukin-10, IL-10; interleukin-18, IL-18; tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α; soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, sICAM-1; procalcitonin, PCT; high mobility group protein B1, HMGB1; nuclear factor-κB p65, NF-κB p65), stress indexes (including lipid hydrogen peroxide, LHP; advanced protein oxidation products, AOPPs; catalase, CAT; glutathione peroxidase, GSH-Px; epinephrine, E and cortisol), intestinal mucosal barrier indexes (including D-lactate; diamine oxidase, DAO; endotoxin) and hemorheological indexes (including platelet adhesion rate, plasma specific viscosity, whole blood specific viscosity high shear and thrombus length) were detected. The recovery indexes (urinary amylase recovery time, bowel sound recovery time, exhaust recovery time, abdominal pain relief time and hospitalization time), adverse reactions and curative effect were recorded.Results:There were no statistical differences in the detection indexes before treatment among three groups ( P>0.05). Seven days after treatment, the IL-10, CAT and GSH-Px in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B. The IL-18, NF-κB p65, TNF-α, sICAM-1, PCT, HMGB1, LHP, AOPPs, E, cortisol, D-lactic acid, DAO and endotoxin were significantly lower than those in group A and group B with statistical differences ( P<0.05), but no statistical differences in the indexes between group A and group B ( P>0.05). Seven days after treatment, the platelet adhesion rate, plasma specific viscosity, whole blood specific viscosity high shear and thrombus length in group C were significantly lower than those in group A and group B, while the indexes in group B were significantly lower than those in group A, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The urinary amylase recovery time, bowel sound recovery time, exhaust recovery time, abdominal pain relief time and hospitalization time in group C were significantly shorter than those in group A and group B: (5.73 ± 0.64) d vs. (7.49 ± 0.89) and (7.26 ± 0.85) d, (2.45 ± 0.31) d vs. (5.76 ± 0.73) and (5.83 ± 0.79) d, (2.69 ± 0.42) d vs. (6.04 ± 0.81) and (6.07 ± 0.82) d, (1.87 ± 0.29) d vs. (3.58 ± 0.45) and (3.65 ± 0.46) d, (15.24 ± 1.76) d vs. (18.61 ± 2.29) and (18.78 ± 2.34) d, with statistical differences ( P<0.05), but no statistical differences in the indexes between group A and group B ( P>0.05). The total effective rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group A and group B: 90.57% (48/53) vs. 67.92% (36/53) and 60.38% (32/53), with statistical difference ( P<0.05), but no statistical difference in the total effective rate between group A and group B ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The blood glucose target management combined with early hemoperfusion in the treatment of HL-AP can effectively reduce inflammatory reaction and stress state, protect intestinal mucosal barrier function, improve blood rheology, and promote recovery.

Objective :
To explore the effect of LncRNA MEG3 in temozolomide (TMZ) resistance of glioma cells.
Methods :
TMZ⁃resistant glioma cells U87(U87/TMZ) were constructed,qRT⁃PCR was used to detect the LncRNA
MEG3 expression level, and MTT was used to detect the cell proliferation ability. The LncRNA MEG3 in U87/TMZ was overexpressed by liposome method (pcDNA⁃MEG3 group), the empty vector was transfected as the empty vector group ( pcDNA group), and the conventionally cultured U87/TMZ was used as the blank group ( Control group),then treated with 10 μg/ml TMZ. The plasmid transfection effect was analyzed by qRT⁃PCR. The expression of LncRNA MEG3⁃related protein was confirmed by Western blot. The cell cloning experiment detects the effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell proliferation. The effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell invasion was tested by Transwell. The effect of LncRNA MEG3 on cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. And mouse transplant tumoranimal model was constructed for in vivo experiments.
Results :
Compared with U87, the expression level of Ln cRNA MEG3 in U87/TMZ was lower (P < 0. 01), and the cell viability of U87/TMZ was higher than that of U87 (P < 0. 01) . After overexpression of MEG3 combined with TMZ, compared with the Control group and the pcDNA group, the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group up⁃regulated the expression of MEG3 mRNA and p53 protein, and down⁃regulated the expression of MDM2 protein, and the proliferation and invasion ability of the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group decreased while the apoptosis ability increased (P < 0. 01) . The construction of mouse transplant tumor animal model showed that the tumor volume and mass of the pcDNA⁃MEG3 group were reduced compared with the pcDNA group (P < 0. 01) .
Conclusion
Overexpression of LncRNA MEG3 can attenuate the drug resistance of TMZ⁃resistant glioma cells.

Objective:
This study aims to explore the influence of birth order and age difference on the emotional and behavioral problems among children from two-child family, so as to provide advice on parenting.
Methods:
A total of 482 students in grades 2 to 5 from the 5 primary schools in Guangzhou were selected, all of whom came from two-child families (excluding twin children). Emotional and behavioral problems were investigated by using the Conner’s Parental Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ).
Results:
Among children from two-child families, higher prevalence of behavioral problems, learning problems, impulsive hyperactivity and hyperactivity index in older compared with younger children (β=-0.09,-0.16,-0.09,-0.10,P<0.05). The scores of behavioral problems and hyperactivity index were significantly higher among those of children who were 6-9 years older than young siblings, compared to those who were 0-3 years older than younger siblings(β=0.20,0.21,P<0.05). No similar pattern was found among the younger siblings(P>0.05).
Conclusion
Among school-age children from two-child families, emotional and behavioral problems of the elder ones were more serious than the younger ones’. Age difference between siblings shows impact on the emotional and behavioral development among elder children, however no significant impact is noticed among the younger ones.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors in patients with initially diagnosed bone-only metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods We collected the data of 68 patients with initially diagnosed bone-only metastatic NPC admitted to The Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from 1997 to 2015. Forty-nine patients received chemoradiotherapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the overall survival rate;the log-rank test was used for univariate prognostic analysis;the Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results The median follow-up was 953 months. The 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival ( OS) rates were 53%, 38%, 21%, and 15%, respectively. The median OS time was 134 months. The univariate prognostic analysis showed that spinal metastases, the number of bone metastases, lactic dehydrogenase level before treatment, the radiotherapy technology and dose for primary tumor, and the short-term outcome of primary tumor were associated with OS ( P=002, 001, 000, 002, 002, 001 ) . The multivariate prognostic analysis showed that ≤3 bone metastases, dose to primary tumor>65 Gy, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) were favorable prognostic factors for OS ( P=003,002,004) . Conclusions For patients with initially diagnosed bone-only metastatic NPC, active treatment ( IMRT, dose to primary tumor>65 Gy) should be considered for those with ≤3 bone metastases to achieve a complete response of primary tumor.
