ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological and genetic features of epithelioid and spindle cell rhabdomysarcoma with EWSR1-TFCP2 or FUS-TFCP2 fusion. Methods: The clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of 14 cases of epithelioid and spindle cell rhabdomysarcoma with EWSR1-TFCP2 or FUS-TFCP2 fusion diagnosed from January 2019 to December 2022 in the Department of Pathology, Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Foshan, China were retrospectively analyzed. The cases were all subject to FISH or next generation sequencing for analysis of molecular genetic features. The literature was reviewed. Results: There were 5 males and 9 females, with the age at presentation ranging from 6 to 36 years (mean, 22 years). Tumors occurred in the head and neck (9 cases), pelvic region (2 cases), bladder (one case), right humerus (one case), and the abdominal wall, humerus and pubic at the same time (one case). Presenting symptoms varied by location but often included pain or discomfort. Most of the patients showed aggressive radiographic features with soft tissue extension. The tumors had a median size of 6.6 cm (range, 2-23 cm). The tumors were poorly defined and irregularly shaped. Microscopic examination showed diffuse proliferation of spindle or epithelioid cells. While morphologically high-grade tumors displayed obvious cytological atypia, a high mitotic count and tumor necrosis, low-grade tumors grew in sheets and fascicles composed of spindle, epithelioid cells with moderate or abundant amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm, without pronounced cytological atypia. The tumor cells expressed Desmin, MyoD1, and Myogenin, as well as ALK, EMA, and CKpan. EWSR1/FUS-TFCP2 gene fusion was detected in 14 cases with next generation sequencing and confirmed by FISH. Six cases had EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions and 8 cases showed FUS-TFCP2 fusions. Follow-up information was available in 13 patients, ranged from 5 to 37 months. At the end of follow-up period, 7 patients died of the disease. Six patients were alive:two cases had local recurrences and metastases, two cases of recurrences, one case of metastasis and one case without recurrences and metastasis. Conclusions: Epithelioid and spindle cell rhabdomysarcomas with EWSR1-TFCP2 or FUS-TFCP2 fusion show a very aggressive clinical course, and more commonly occur in the head and neck. Their genetic hallmark is the presence of EWSR1/FUS-TFCP2 fusions. Familiarity with its clinicopathological characteristics is helpful in avoiding misdiagnoses.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Osteochondral defect of the joint is a difficult problem faced by orthopedic surgeons,and traditional repair methods are difficult to obtain satisfactory curative effects.Hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol-based composite hydrogel material is a direction of current research. OBJECTIVE:To prepare hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol/collagen-chitosan-gelatin composite hydrogel material and characterize its physical characteristics,to verify its histocompatibility and cell adhesion and proliferation ability after implantation in vivo,and explore its repair effect on rabbit osteochondral defects. METHODS:The cylindrical porous poly(lactic acid)scaffold was prepared by 3D printing technology(the pore sizes were 1.2,1.4,1.6 and 1.8 mm,respectively).The poly(lactic acid)scaffold was injected with polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxyapatite mixed emulsion.After freezing thawing and dichloromethane dissolution,hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel was prepared.Then,the collagen-chitosan-gelatin mixture was injected into the hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel and crosslinked with genipin.Finally,the hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol/collagen-chitosan-gelatin composite hydrogel was prepared by alcohol cleaning and freeze-drying.The physical characteristics of the four groups of hydrogels were characterized,and the hydrogels with the best performance were screened for follow-up experiments.Hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel and collagen-chitosan-gelatin composite hydrogel were implanted subcutaneously in SD rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were used to observe the adhesion growth of cells on the material surface.Osteochondral defect(diameter:5 mm,depth:6 mm)models were made in the femoral trochlea of bilateral knee joints of 15 rabbits.The composite hydrogel was implanted on the left side(experimental group),while no material was implanted on the right side(control group).Micro-CT and histology were used to evaluate the repair effect of osteochondral defects. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Based on the results of porosity,water content,mechanical testing and scanning electron microscopy,it was concluded that the hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol/collagen-chitosan-gelatin composite hydrogel with a pore size of 1.2 mm was more consistent with the general characteristics of natural cartilage,which was used for subsequent experiments.(2)Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining exhibited that with the extension of subcutaneous implantation time of the materials,the adhesion of cells around the two materials increased significantly,and the proliferation of cells after the implantation of collagen-chitosan-gelatin was better,a large number of cells could be seen growing into the formed network structure,and the network structure was gradually degraded.(3)In the rabbit osteochondral defect experiment,8 weeks after surgery,Micro-CT examination demonstrated that the material implanted in the experimental group had good integration with the surrounding bone-cartilage,with some bone growth on the surface and inside,while the cartilage and subcartilage in the control group still had obvious defects,without effective repair.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and toluidine blue staining displayed that the composite hydrogel in the experimental group integrated with the surrounding articular cartilage 4-8 weeks after implantation.With the extension of time,new cartilage gradually formed on the surface of the material.At 12 weeks,most of the defect was covered by new cartilage,and good bone growth was also observed in the subcartilage.In the control group,the deep bone defects were mostly repaired and the superficial cartilage and subchondral bone defects were also repaired to a certain extent,but they were mainly replaced by fibrous tissue and part of fibrocartilage 12 weeks after surgery.(4)In conclusion,hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol/collagen-chitosan-gelatin composite hydrogel material can mimic the structure and function of natural cartilage,and can effectively repair osteochondral defects in animal experiments.

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#Chemotherapy has been the primary treatment for patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, there are still patients who are not sensitive to chemotherapy, including those with refractory/relapse (R/R) disease and those experiencing minimal residual disease (MRD) re-emergence. Chimeric antigen receptor-T lymphocytes (CAR-T) therapy may provide a new treatment option for these patients. @*Materials and Methods@#Our institution conducted a single-arm prospective clinical trial (ChiCTR-OPN-17013507) using CAR-T-19 to treat R/R B-ALL and MRD re-emergent patients. One hundred and fifteen patients, aged 1-25 years (median age, 8 years), were enrolled, including 67 R/R and 48 MRD re-emergent CD19-positive B-ALL patients. @*Results@#All patients achieved morphologic complete remission (CR), and within 1 month after infusion, 111 out of 115 (96.5%) patients achieved MRD-negative CR. With a median follow-up time of 48.4 months, the estimated 4-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were 68.7%±4.5% and 70.7%±4.3%, respectively. There were no significant differences in long-term efficacy observed among patients with different disease statuses before infusion (4-year OS: MRD re-emergence vs. R/R B-ALL, 70.6%±6.6% vs. 66.5%±6.1%, p=0.755; 4-year LFS: MRD re-emergence vs. R/R B-ALL, 67.3%±7.0% vs. 63.8%±6.2%, p=0.704). R/R B-ALL patients bridging to transplantation after CAR-T treatment had a superior OS and LFS compared to those who did not. However, for MRD re-emergent patients, there was no significant difference in OS and LFS, regardless of whether they underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or not. @*Conclusion@#CD19 CAR-T therapy effectively and safely cures both R/R B-ALL and MRD re-emergent patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of nerve decompression surgery through the lateral-rectus approach for sacral plexus nerve injury after sacral fracture fixation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 10 patients with combined sacral plexus nerve injury after sacral fracture fixation who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, Xiangya Hospital between May 2022 and May 2023. There were 2 males and 8 females with an age of 16.5 (15.0, 26.3) years. At the time of injury, the patients had been clearly diagnosed as sacral fracture combined with sacral plexus nerve injury. By the Denis classification of sacral fractures: 7 cases of type Ⅱ and 3 cases of type Ⅲ; sacral plexus nerve injury sites: 1 case of L 4, 8 cases of L 5, 7 cases of S 1, and 2 cases of S 2. All of them were treated with reduction and internal fixation via the posterior approach within 2 weeks after injury, but after surgery their manifestations of sacral plexus nerve injury still persisted which were confirmed by CT, magnetic resonance imaging and neuromuscular electromyography. Therefore, at (4.0±2.3) months after internal fixation, all patients were treated with nerve decompression surgery through the lateral-rectus approach. The operative time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospitalization, Gibbons nerve damage score and neurological recovery at the last follow-up were recorded. Results:In the 10 patients, the operative time was (112.0±21.5) min, intraoperative bleeding (215.0±91.3) mL, and length of hospitalization 7.0 (6.0, 8.5) d. Intraoperatively, sacral plexus nerve compression was found in 9 cases (6 cases of nerve compression and pulling due to fracture displacement, 3 cases of nerve entrapment due to soft tissue scar adhesion), and 1 case of nerve root avulsion injury. No other intraoperative complications occurred. The 10 patients were followed up for (9.2±2.3) months after surgery. At the last follow-up, the Gibbons score for the 10 patients improved from preoperative 3.0 (3.0, 3.3) points to 1.0 (1.0, 2.0) point, and their British Medical Research Council (BMRC) nerve injury grading was improved from the preoperative grade 0.0 (0.0, 1.3) to grade 3.5 (2.8, 4.0) (1 case of M5, 4 cases of M4, 4 cases of M3, and 1 case of M2).Conclusion:The lateral-rectus approach is effective and safe for exploration and decompression of the sacral plexus nerve in patients combined with sacral plexus nerve injury despite sacral fracture fixation.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the practical value of environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound in the preparation of pathological tissue sections. MethodsFrom February 2013 to December 2022, 2 518 pathological specimens submitted by Foshan Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the study objects. Two samples of the same specimen were randomly divided into two groups: the environment-friendly fast group, in which the pathological tissue sections were made by using the environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound; and the traditional group, in which formaldehyde, ethanol and xylene were used to make slices in the conventional way. The differences of hematoxylin (HE) staining effect, immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining effect and MDM2 gene detection result of atypical lipomatous tumor/highly differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL) tissue sections between the two groups were compared. Results① The wax of the two groups' pathological tissues was dehydrated well and the tissue hardness was moderate. After HE staining, the sections of the two groups were intact, without cracks and tremor marks, and the contrast between nucleus and cytoplasm was appropriate, with good transparency, uniform staining, and no tissue loss. The excellent rate and score of HE staining in the environmental fast group were higher than those in the traditional group, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 = 3.125,P1 = 0.070;t = 0.965,P2 = 0.334). ②After IHC staining of the two groups of sections, the positive location of the cells was accurate, the staining was specific and uniform, the staining intensity was moderate, the staining sensitivity was good, and there was no tissue loss. The excellent rate of IHC staining and the positive rate of IHC staining in the environmental fast group were lower than those in the traditional group, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ12 = 2.769,P1 = 0.092;χ22 = 0.800,P2 = 0.375). ③The background and outline of the two groups of WDL tissue sections were clear, the staining was uniform, the cells were clear and visible, the nuclear boundary was clear, the hybridization signal was clear and bright under the background fluorescence, and there was no miscellaneous signal. The two groups of sections were hybridized successfully, and MDM2 showed positive amplification. The number of cells successfully hybridized in the environment-friendly fast group was lower than that in the traditional group, but the difference was not statistically significant (t = 1.414,P = 0.230). ConclusionsThe tissue treatment method of using environment-friendly sample release agent combined with ultrasound can ensure the detection effect of HE staining, IHC staining and MDM2 gene detection of pathological tissue sections, and is more efficient and environment-friendly, suitable for promotion and use in hospitals at all levels.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To report the application of our self-made Kirschner wire connecting rod combined with a conventional intramedullary nail extractor in difficult extraction of intramedullary devices.Methods:From January 2012 to August 2017, 10 patients with a hard-to-remove intramedullary device were treated at Department of Orthopaedics, The Fifth Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University. They were 7 males and 3 females with a mean age of (40.0±9.0) years. In cases where no relevant extractor was available for the intramedullary device or it was impossible to connect the extractor connecting rod to the tail of the intramedullary device, the Kirschner wire was bent and pulled through the screw hole or the hole newly drilled at the tail of the intramedullary device to be tied or fixed with a conventional extractor connecting rod to form an effective connection. Next, our self-made Kirschner wire connecting rod was used to pull out the intramedullary device. In this cohort, 7 intramedullary nails in the tibia, 1 femoral intramedullary nail, 1 humeral intramedullary nail, and 1 tibial elastic nail were removed. The difficult extraction was due to "cold welding" of the tail cap of the intramedullary nail in 3 cases, mismatch between the screw rod of the extractor and the tail screw hole of the intramedullary nail in 4 cases, and unavailability of relevant removal tools in 3 cases. The time for intramedullary device removal, blood loss and postoperative adverse reactions were recorded.Results:Of this cohort, 9 patients underwent simple removal of the intramedullary device and 1 patient replacement of the intramedullary device. The total time for removal of an intramedullary device was (2.3±0.8) h, ranging from 1.0 to 3.2 h. The amount of blood loss was (159.0±61.0) mL, ranging from 80 to 250 mL. The follow-up was (14.5±2.2) months, ranging from 11 to 18 months. There was no infection or fracture associated with implant removal.Conclusion:Application of our self-made Kirschner wire connecting rod in combination with a conventional intramedullary nail extractor is an easy operation to successfully extract hard-to-remove intramedullary implants, requiring no more special instruments.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a rat model of diabetic microangiopathopathy and simulate the biochemical and pathological changes of diabetic retinal and renal microangiopathopathy.Methods:Forty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group and model group (10 and 30 rats, respectively). After the rats in blank group and model group were fed ordinary diet and high-fat and high-sugar diet for 5 weeks, respectively, the rats in model group were injected with 1% streptozotocin (STZ) through the abdominal cavity at the dose of 35 mg/kg to establish a type 2 diabetes model. After modeling, the rats were continuously fed until the 10th week (4 weeks after modeling), the general conditions of the rats were observed, and samples were collected for follow-up experiments. Serum creatinine (CREA), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), microalbuminuria, urinary creatinine (UCr) and urine sugar were detected. Calculate the kidney index and microalbumin/urinary creatinine ratio (UACR). Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to observe the vascular changes and non-perfusion area of retinal superficial capillary plexus. The morphological and structural changes of kidney and retina were observed by hematoxylin-eosin and periodate Scheff staining. The expression of nerve fibers and nucleus of Müller cells in rat retina was observed by immunofluorescence staining. Ultrastructural results of retina were observed by transmission electron microscope. Independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Results:Four weeks after modeling, compared with blank group, the body weight of rats in model group was significantly decreased, and random glucose was significantly increased, with statistical significance ( t=5.755, -51.291; P<0.05). Renal index, urinary glucose and UACR were significantly increased, while UCr was significantly decreased, with statistical significance ( t=10.878, 137.273, 3.482,-6.110; P<0.05). CREA decreased, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-28.012, 33.018, 118.018, 13.585, 16.480; P<0.05). OCTA examination showed that there was no perfusion area of shallow retinal capillaries. The optical microscope showed that the inner boundary membrane of retina in model group was swollen and thickened, the surface was uneven, the inner and outer nuclear layer cells were disordered and the density decreased. Glomerular congestion was accompanied by cortical tubular epithelial swelling, widening of the mesangial area, and thickening of the basement membrane. The results of immunostaining showed that the inner and outer plexiform layers of the retina showed lamellar strong green fluorescence expression, and the inner and outer nuclear layers showed scattered dot green fluorescence expression. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the basal membrane of retinal microvessels in model group was slightly thickened, vascular endothelial cells edema, endothelial nucleus and perinucleus contraction, nuclear membrane contraction, mild mitochondrial swelling, vacuolation. Conclusion:High-glucose and high-fat feeding plus a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ 35 mg/kg can successfully establish a microangiopathic model of type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To analyze the early outcomes of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction after surgical repair, and to explore the predictors for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for these patients. Methods    The clinical data of ALCAPA patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction<40%) who underwent coronary artery reimplantation in the pediatric center of our hospital from 2013 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into an ECMO group and a non-ECMO group. Clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results    A total of 64 ALCAPA patients were included. There were 7 patients in the ECMO group, including 4 males and 3 females aged 6.58±1.84 months. There were 57 pateints in the non-ECMO group, including 30 males and 27 females aged 4.34±2.56 months. The mortality of the patients was 6.25% (4/64), including 2 patients in the ECMO group, and 2 in the non-ECMO group. The postoperative complications rate was significantly higher in the ECMO group than that in the non-ECMO group (P=0.041). There were statistical differences in the cardiopulmonary bypass time [254 (153, 417) min vs. 106 (51, 192) min, P=0.013], aortic cross-clamping (ACC) time (89.57±13.66 min vs. 61.58± 19.57 min, P=0.039), and preoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter/body surface area (132.32±14.71 mm/m2 vs. 108.00±29.64 mm/m2, P=0.040) between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ACC time was an independent risk factor for postoperative ECMO support (P=0.005). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.757, the sensitivity was 85.70%, specificity was 66.70%, with the cut-off value of 66 min. Conclusion    ACC time is an independent risk factor for postoperative ECMO support. Patients with an ACC time>66 min have a significantly higher risk for ECMO support after the surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To understand the current situation of vaccination services for adults in China, explore how to establish a stable and efficient vaccination service system for adults, and provide reference for formulating corresponding policies. Methods: The vaccination information systems of nine provinces in China were used to obtain information on urban and rural vaccination of influenza vaccine, 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23), and human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) from 2019 to 2021. The indicator, vaccination rate/full vaccination rate, was used for statistical description. Results: The vaccination rate/full vaccination rate of the three vaccines in eastern China was generally higher than that in central and western China. The vaccination rate/full vaccination rate in urban areas was generally higher than that in rural areas. From 2019 to 2021, the vaccination rates of influenza vaccine among people aged 60 years and above in urban and rural areas were 2.96%, 6.29%, 6.14% and 1.29%, 2.58%, 2.94%, respectively. The vaccination rates of the PPV23 among people aged 60 years and above in urban and rural areas increased year by year, with rates of 0.38%, 1.05%, 1.15% and 0.14%, 0.49%, 0.59%, respectively. From 2019 to 2021, the HPV coverage of female adults aged 27-45 years in urban and rural areas increased year by year, with rates of 0.46%, 0.93%, 1.88% and 0.17%, 0.40%, 1.08%, respectively. Conclusion: The vaccination rates of influenza vaccine,PPV23 vaccine and HPV vaccine for adults in China are relatively low, with higher rates in the eastern region than in the central and western regions, and higher rates in urban areas than in rural areas. It is recommended to formulate corresponding health and economic policies and explore a suitable vaccination service system for adults in China to improve vaccination rates.

ABSTRACT

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of highly heterogeneous autosomal dominant genetic disease, including many subtypes. SCA11 is a rare subtype of SCA, and is caused by mutant TTBK2 gene. A case of SCA11 was reported in this article. Whole exome sequencing showed that there was a c.1284dupA frameshift mutation in TTBK2 gene. Literature review found that only 6 pedigrees of SCA11 have been reported, but the mutation site of this case is a novel identified mutation that has not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database.

ABSTRACT

Neutrophils are predominant leukocytes in the circulation, which are essential for killing invading pathogens via the activation of effector responses and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), also named as "oxidative burst." When infected, activated neutrophils fight bacteria, fungi, and viruses through oxidative burst, phagocytosis, degranulation, and the production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in a neutrophil death process named as "NETosis" (Mutua and Gershwin, 2021). NETs, consisting of DNA fibers decorated with modified histones and numerous antimicrobial proteins from cytoplasmic granules and the nucleus, can either be beneficial or detrimental (Mutua and Gershwin, 2021). Several pathways can lead to this death process. In response to various stimuli, NETosis traps and clears pathogens, facilitating phagocytosis by other neutrophils and phagocytes. However, excessive NETosis often results in disease due to increasing the pro-inflammatory response and perpetuating the inflammatory condition (Hellebrekers et al., 2018; Hidalgo et al., 2019; Klopf et al., 2021). Accordingly, inhibiting aberrant NETosis may alleviate the severity of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the correlation of GNG4 with DNA damage repair and chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cisplatin-resistant A2780/DDP cells.Methods:A2780/DDP cells were divided into 500 ng/ml cisplatin group (cDDP group), short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-GNG4 silencing GNG4 expression group (shRNA group), 500 ng/ml cisplatin and shRNA-GNG4 intervention group (shRNA+cDDP group), and non cisplatin and shRNA-GNG4 intervention group (blank control group). Western blot was used to detect the expressions of GNG4 and γH2AX proteins in each group; DNA damage in each group was detected by single cell gel electrophoresis. The focus formation of γH2AX gene at the injury site was detected by immunofluorescence. The ability of cell clone formation was detected by plate clone formation experiment.Results:Compared with the other three groups, the expression level of GNG4 protein in shRNA+cDDP group was the lowest, the expression level of γH2AX protein was the highest, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Single cell gel electrophoresis assay showed that the comet tail DNA% in blank control group, cDDP group, shRNA group and shRNA+cDDP group were (7.7±2.5)%, (12.3±3.6)%, (20.1±2.1)%, (38.6±2.8)%, respectively, and Olive trailing distance were 5.12±1.89, 8.23±2.97, 14.99±3.65, 22.43±3.17, respectively, the comet tail DNA% and Olive tail distance in shRNA+cDDP group were higher than those in the other three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence assay showed that the focus numbers of γH2AX in each cell of blank control group, cDDP group, shRNA group and shRNA+cDDP group were 4.2±0.7, 5.1±0.5, 26.8±3.3, 71.3±6.2, respectively, the shRNA+cDDP group was higher than the other three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The clone formation rates of blank control group, cDDP group, shRNA group and shRNA+cDDP group were (78.27±5.01)%, (45.67±3.29)%, (26.20±5.76)%, (1.56±0.21)%, respectively, the shRNA+cDDP group was lower than the other three groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:Down-regulation of GNG4 expression can increase the cisplatin sensitivity of ovarian cancer A2780/DDP cells, which may be achieved by inhibiting the DNA damage repair function induced by cisplatin.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To summarize the early clinical features and perioperative management strategies for patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after one-stage arterial switch operation (ASO), and investigate the risk factors for prolonged recovery in ICU, with a focus on the age structure and deformity complexity. Methods    The clinical data of 231 consecutive TGA patients who underwent one-stage ASO were retrospectively analyzed. There were 165 males and 66 females, aged from 3 d to 10 years. The patients were sequenced by the length of ICU stay. The time at the 75th percentile was defined as the critical value for grouping. Patients with an ICU stay time over this point were allocated to a prolonged recovery group (n=54), while the rest were allocated to a normal recovery group (n=177). The perioperative clinical data were compared between the two groups, and the risk factors for prolonged recovery were evaluated. Results    About half (49.6%) of the patients received late operation. The mean ICU stay time was 23.9±15.6 d in the prolonged recovery group, and 4.9±2.3 d in the normal recovery group. Complication of aortic arch lesion, delayed chest closure and postoperative pulmonary infection were independent risk factors for prolonged recovery after ASO in ICU. However, late operation had no significant effect on the overall recovery. Conclusion    With strict surgery indications and excellent postoperative management, most patients can have satisfactory early-stage outcomes, but are confronted with  increased complications, which is associated with prolonged recovery. Complication of aortic arch lesion, delayed chest closure and postoperative pulmonary infection are independent factors for delayed recovery of ASO.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the impact of induction treatment response on the prognosis of pediatric core binding factor-acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML).@*METHODS@#The result of induce reaction and survival data of 157 pediatric CBF-AML patients in our hospital from September 2008 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The survival rate of the patients with different degrees of morphological remission after induction chemotherapy was comparative analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Among the 157 children with CBF-AML, 113 (72.4%) patients achieved morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS) after the first course of induction chemotherapy, 153 (98.1%) patients achieved MLFS after the second course of induction chemotherapy. The 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate and 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of patients with non-remission (NR) status after the first course of induction of chemotherapy was significantly lower than the patients achieved MLFS and the patients achieved partial remission (PR). The 5-year EFS rate and 5-year OS rate of the patients with PR status after the second course of induction chemotherapy were lower than the patients achieved MLFS, but the difference was not statistically significant. Multivariable analyze showed that NR after the first course of induction chemotherapy and myeloid sarcoma were the independent risk factors affecting EFS of the patients. There were six patients with NR status after the first course of induction chemotherapy, in which all of them harbored t(8;21), three of them with sex chromosome deletion, two of them with myeloid sarcoma.@*CONCLUSION@#NR status after the first course of induction chemotherapy was the independent risk factor affecting EFS and OS of CBF-AML patients, it can be taken as an indicator for higher risk stratification. PR status after the first course of induction chemotherapy may not be used as a diagnostic criterion for primary drug resistance.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To observe the safety and other related indexes of canagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes complicated with high risk of cardiovascular disease. METHODS :Totally 306 patients,admitted to Hainan Provincial People ’s Hospital and Haikou People ’s Hospital ,with type 2 diabetes complicated with high risk of cardiovascular disease were selected from Dec. 2018 to Apr. 2019. They were divided into observation group (153 cases)and control group (153 cases)according to random number table . The control group was treated with in sulin,metformin or sulfonylureas conventional hypoglycemic therapy , and the observation group was treated with Canagliflozin tablets 100 mg,once a day ,po,on the basis of control group. The course of treatment was 1 year in both groups. The levels of HbA 1c,BMI,SBP,DBP and eGFR before and after treatment were observed in 2 groups,and the incidence of safety (including death from cardiovascular causes ,myocardial infarction ,ischemic stroke , hospitalization for heart failure and death from any cause etc. ) after treatment and serious ADR/ADE (including hypogly- cemia,diabetic ketoacidosis ,fracture,acute kidney injury 68622942。E-mail:zhaixin0123@126.com etc.)during the treatment were recorded. RESULTS :A total of 5 patients in the control group were not followed up , in which 3 quited and 2 were lost ;and 4 patients in the observation group were not followed up ,in which 1 quited and 3 were lost . Before treatment ,there were no statistical significance in the levels of HbA 1c,BMI,SBP,DBP and eGFR between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment ,HbA1c levels of 2 groups,BMI and SBP of observation group were all significantly lower than those before treatment with the same group ;HbA1c level and SBP of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). eGFR levels of 2 groups after treatment were significantly higher than before treatment with the same group ,while the observation group was significantly higher than that of contrl group. The incidence of death from cardiovascular causes and death from any cause in observation group were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other safety indexes and the incidence of serious ADR/ADE between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Canagliflozin can significantly reduce the incidence of death from cardiovascular causes and death from any cause in type 2 diabetes patients complicated with high risk of cardiovascular disease,ameliorate blood glucose and blood pressure ,and do not increase the occurrence of serious ADR/ADE.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate short-term clinical results of fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for patients with medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis.@*METHODS@#From January 2015 to December 2017, 62 patients with medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis were treated by fixed-bearing UKA. Among them, including 19 males and 43 females, aged from 47 to 83 years old with an average of (65.3±8.2) years old. The courses of disease ranged from 5 to 72 months with an average of(19.4±14.3) months. Postoperative complications were observed, VAS score was used to observe degree of pain relief, Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS) score was used to evaluate clinical effects.@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed up from 4 to 40 months with an average of(19.9 ±10.2) months. The incision healed well without blood transfusion, hospital stays ranged from 2 to 10 days with an average of (3.5±1.6) days. No deep infection, dislocation, loosing or per prosthetic fracture occurred after operation, while 1 patient suffered from posterior tibial vein thrombosis. HSS score improved from 69.9±7.2 before operation to 90.1±7.4 at final following-up, and 51 patients obtained excellent results, 9 patients good and 2 moderate. VAS score decreased from 3.8±0.9 before operation to 1.1±0.9 at final following-up.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Fixed-bearing UKA for medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis could obtain short-term clinical results for shorter hospital stay, less complications. with fewer complication and fast recovery.
