Guillain-Barre syndrome rarely develops after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and only a few reports exist in China. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute and life-threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and treatment. A patient with acute myeloid leukemia underwent allogeneic HSCT for >5 months and gradually developed limb muscle weakness and limited eye movement after coexisting with delayed acute intestinal graft-versus-host disease. After the examination of cerebrospinal fluid and electromyography, the diagnosis of Guillain–Barre syndrome was confirmed. After a high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment, muscle strength gradually recovered, and the prognosis was good.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of applying high-fidelity simulation model in the teaching of lower urinary tract injury.Methods:A total of 50 junior medical students majoring in clinical medicine were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group. The students in the control group were taught using the traditional method involving PPT presentation and videos on lower urinary tract anatomy, surgical basis of lower urinary tract injury, and operative methods for lower urinary tract injury. The students in the experimental group were taught using the simulation model for observation and related operation. After four class hours (40 minutes/class hour) of teaching, the students in the two groups were subjected to theoretical assessment and questionnaire survey. The differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed using the t and χ 2 tests in SPSS 26.0. Results:The total scores of theoretical assessment were (36.80±4.00) and (33.12±3.62) in the experimental group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was significant ( P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire showed that the self-evaluation of the experimental group was better than that of the control group in the mastery of theoretical knowledge, clinical operation, early treatment, operation process, and key steps, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the traditional teaching method, the high-fidelity simulation model improves the efficiency of learning anatomy knowledge and operation process, and promotes the mastery of important and difficult knowledge in lower urinary tract injury. This method merits popularization.

Objective:To explore the application of photoplethysmography (iPPG) for contactless vital signs monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:Ten tracheostomy patients in intensive care had their heart rate, oxygen saturation, and diastolic and systolic pressures monitored using iPPG technology and a 24-hour bedside monitor. The readings included periods at rest, during turning, during suctioning, and when undergoing vigorous physical therapy and occupational therapy. The monitoring lasted 3 consecutive days. The data collected by the two methods were compared to analyze the accuracy of the contactless vital signs monitoring system.Results:The oxygen saturation readings of the two systems showed no significant differences. The heart rates, diastolic pressures, and systolic pressures did, however, differ significantly.Conclusions:In the situations tested, contactless monitoring of oxygen saturation is effective, but there is still significant room for improvement in the three indicators of heart rate, systolic pressure, and diastolic pressure.

Objective:
To investigate the longitudinal association of plasma Irisin concentrations with changes in blood pressure (BP) levels among children,and to assess the moderating effect of physical activity (PA) or sedentary behavior (SB) on the relationship between Irisin levels and BP.
Methods:
Based on a cohort study, a cluster sampling method was used to select 3 651 school aged children from five schools in Guangzhou in 2017 at the baseline survey and follow up in 2019. Both at baseline and during follow up, PA and SB were assessed by validated questionnaires, and BP levels were measured by an electronic sphygmomanometer. A final sample of 521 children were enrolled based on the PA and SB at baseline. Plasma Irisin concentrations were measured by ELISA at baseline. Logistic regression analysis was recruited for exploring the associations of plasma Irisin concentrations with changes in BP. Moderating effects of PA and SB on the relationship between Irisin concentrations and BP were estimated using stratified analysis.
Results:
Logistic regression analysis indicated that there was no significant association between Irisin concentrations and changes in BP levels among children ( OR =0.98, P >0.05). After stratification for SB, Irisin levels in the low SB subgroup were inversely associated with changes in diastolic blood pressure ( OR=0.87, 95%CI=0.77-0.98, P =0.02). In addition, SB level had a moderating effect on the relationship between Irisin levels and the DBP changes ( P =0.01).
Conclusion
Increased Irisin concentration is associated with the decrease of DBP level among low SB children. Furthermore, SB level shows moderating role in the relationship between Irisin concentrations and changes in DBP levels.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of the total IgE, and their relationship with allergens and peripheral blood eosinophils in patients with allergic.Methods:The cross-sectional study was used, and 1 417 patients with allergic in Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were selected. The serum total IgE was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the total IgE>60 kU/L was increased. The blood routine was detected by automated hematology analyzer. Using inhalant allergens and food allergens specific IgE antibody detection kits, the serum or plasma allergen-specific IgE antibodies were detected by Oumeng imprinting in vitro semi quantitative method.Results:Among 1 417 patients with allergic, elevated total IgE was in 617 cases (43.54%), normal total IgE in 800 cases (56.46%); 749 cases (52.86%) were allergic, the most common inhalation allergen was dust mite (38.72%, 218/563), and the most common food allergen was peanut (24.01%, 109/454). The rate of normal total IgE, eosinophils and non allergic was 19.20% (272/1 417). The male proportion, ratio of eosinophils, eosinophils count, total index of inhaled allergens, total index of non inhaled allergens, number of positive allergens, total positive index and average positive index in patients with elevated total IgE were significantly higher than those in patient with normal total IgE, the age was significantly lower than that in patients with normal total IgE, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The total IgE<60 kU/L (normal total IgE) was in 800 cases, total IgE from 60 to 499 kU/L (mild elevation of total IgE) in 487 cases, total IgE from 500 to 999 kU/L (moderate elevation of total IgE) in 78 cases, total IgE≥1 000 kU/L (severe elevation of total IgE) in 52 cases. The male proportion and age in patients with sever elevation of total IgE and moderate elevation of total IgE were significantly higher than those in patients with mild elevation of total IgE and normal total IgE, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The compound allergy rate in patients with severe elevation of total IgE was significantly higher than that in patients with moderate elevation of total IgE, mild elevation of total IgE and normal total IgE: 73.08% (38/52) vs. 60.26% (47/78), 38.40% (187/487), 17.00% (136/800), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The ratio of eosinophils, eosinophils count and number of positive allergens increased with increasing total IgE level, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The number of dermatophagoides/dermatophagoides culinae allergic in patients with moderate elevation of total IgE was significantly more than that in patients with sever elevation of total IgE, mild elevation of total IgE and normal total IgE, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Allergic disease may show a normal level of total IgE. Males are more likely to be troubled with high level of IgE. Patients with total IgE ≥1 000 kU/L should be alert to the possibility of poly-sensitization. Total IgE was no longer correlated with individual allergy severity in patients with total IgE≥500 kU/L.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of 3D-printed guide plate assisted versus freehand placement of cannulated screws for the treatment of Sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 29 patients with Sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures admitted to Chonggang General Hospital from June 2020 to October 2022. Among them, there were 18 males and 11 females, with an age range of 22-69 years [(40.1±11.5)years]. Nineteen patients were treated with individualized 3D-printed guide plate assisted placement of cannulated screws (3D-printed group) and 10 were treated with freehand placement of cannulated screws (freehand group). The surgical time, fluoroscopy times, postoperative 6-month calcaneal morphology (length, width, height, B?hler angle and Gissane angle), and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and Maryland functional score assessed at 3, 6 months after operation and at the final follow-up were compared between the two groups. The incision healing and complications were observed.Results:The patients were followed up for 6-24 months [(11.3±2.5)months]. The surgical time and fluoroscopy times in the 3D-printed group were (53.4±9.1)minutes and (7.3±1.1)times, respectively, which were shorter than (90.2±16.0)minutes and (16.0±3.2)times in the freehand group (all P<0.01). At 6 months after operation, there was no significant difference in calcaneal length between the two groups ( P>0.05); the calcaneal width, height, B?hler angle and Gissane angle in the 3D-printed group [(34.0±1.8)mm, (47.2±1.6)mm, (27.8±1.0)°, (129.2±2.8)°] were superior than those in the freehand group [(37.5±2.0)mm, (43.0±2.7)mm, (25.8±1.5)°, (125.9±2.5)°] (all P<0.01). At 3, 6 months after operation and at the final follow-up, the values of AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score in the 3D-printed group [(72.2±2.3)points, (79.7±2.3)points, (86.5±4.4)points] were higher than those in the freehand group [(64.2±6.9)points, (73.4±4.2)points, (81.8±3.1)points] (all P<0.05); the values of Maryland score in the 3D-printed group [(71.4±7.7)points, (84.7±2.6)points, (91.5±2.5)points] were higher than those in the freehand group [(65.2±5.6)points, (79.1±3.8)points, (87.1±2.9)points] (all P<0.05). All surgical incisions were healed in stage I. In the 3D-printed group, there were no complications regarding infection, iatrogenic vascular or nerve injury, or fixation failure after surgery. In the freehand group, one patient with lateral sural cutaneous nerve injury was resolved spontaneously without specific treatment. Conclusion:Compared with freehand placement of cannulated screws, 3D-printed guide plate assisted placement of percutaneous placement has the advantages of shorter surgical time, fewer fluoroscopy times, lower reduction loss, better ankle joint function recovery, and less complications in treating Sanders type II and III calcaneal fractures.

Objective:Correct chest compression posture (CCP) is an important basis for high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the research on CCP was still very limited. In this study, a new automatic analysis model was developed to achieve the purpose of objectification, standardization and automation of CCP monitoring.Methods:A total of 15 participants, including 11 professionals and 4 nonprofessionals, were recruited to participate in the field experiment. The video data were recorded simultaneously with zed cameras in the front and 45-degree sides. All participants performed 120 consecutive external chest compression operations on the Smartman CPR simulator. Three experts annotated the videos independently. An intelligent algorithm was used to extract human bone points for subsequent analysis and model development. The chi-square test was used to compare the rates of the professional and nonprofessional groups.Results:The results showed that problems with wrists, fingers, center of body weight and elbow bending had the highest incidence. Through 28 800 sets of standard human skeleton point coordinate data, we obtained a reasonable range of arm angles of 169.24°- 180.00° for the left arm and 168.49°-180.00° for the right arm. By the same method, the reasonable range of the center of gravity angle is 0.00°-18.46°. Based on these results, a new chest compression posture detection model based on a dual ZED camera was developed, which can accurately identify CCP errors (accuracy 91.31%; sensitivity 80.16%; specificity 93.53%).Conclusions:This study innovatively proposed an objective evaluation method for CCP. Moreover, a new chest compression posture detection model based on a dual ZED camera was developed, which can accurately identify CCP errors to achieve automation and standardization of quality control in CPR training.
