RESUMO
Peripheral neuropathies are commonly diagnosed in different clinical department of the hospital. The diagnosis is generated by a set of reasonable process based on the manifestations of patients. According to the age of onset, the speed of disease development and the symptoms of peripheral nerve lesions, the peripheral neuropathy is divided into a definite clinical subtype for a particular patient. On this basis, utility of the nerve conduction studies and electromyography is conducted to confirm the anatomical locations of peripheral neuropathy. The etiologic diagnosis is based on anatomical diagnosis of peripheral nerve with a reasonable choice of auxiliary tests, including serological testing, peripheral nerve imaging and biopsy. Genetic tests are chosen for patients with clinical suspective diagnosis of hereditary disease. Finally, therapy evaluation on the basis of etiologic diagnosis is important for forming a treatment plan.

RESUMO
Objective:To construct prediction models of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) using machine learning (ML) methods.Methods:From January 2015 to October 2021, neonates with suspected NEC symptoms receiving abdominal ultrasound examinations in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The neonates were assigned into NEC group (modified Bell's staging≥Ⅱ) and non-NEC group for diagnostic prediction analysis (dataset 1). The NEC group was subgrouped into surgical NEC group (staging≥Ⅲ) and conservative NEC group for severity analysis (dataset 2). Feature selection algorithms including extremely randomized trees, elastic net and recursive feature elimination were used to screen all variables. The diagnostic and severity prediction models for NEC were established using logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), random forest, light gradient boosting machine and other ML methods. The performances of different models were evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value.Results:A total of 536 neonates were enrolled, including 234 in the NEC group and 302 in the non-NEC group (dataset 1).70 were in the surgical NEC group and 164 in the conservative NEC group (dataset 2). The variables selected by extremely randomized trees showed the best predictive performance in two datasets. For diagnostic prediction models, the SVM model had the best predictive performance, with AUC of 0.932 (95% CI 0.891-0.973) and accuracy of 0.844 (95% CI 0.793-0.895). A total of 11 predictive variables were determined, including portal venous gas, intestinal dilation, neutrophil percentage and absolute monocyte count at the onset of illness. For NEC severity prediction models, the SVM model showed the best predictive performance, with AUC of 0.835 (95% CI 0.737-0.933) and accuracy of 0.787 (95% CI 0.703-0.871). A total of 25 predictive variables were identified, including age of onset, C-reactive protein and absolute neutrophil count at clincial onset.

RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of transorally inserted anvil (OrVil TM) in patients with relapsed or denovo carcinoma at the esophagogastric junction. Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients who underwent radical intent resection for locally relapsed or denovo esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma at Zhengzhou University Cancer Hospital from Jan 2011 to Jun 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether transorally inserted anvil was used. Twenty-six patients who had used the system were assigned to the experimental group. Thirty-four patients without transorally inserted anvil were set to control group.Results:The incisor distance of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group [36(34-40)cm vs. 39(36-41)cm, Z=-4.948, P<0.05]. Operation time in experimental group was 177 (145-260) min, compared to control group of 172 (140-225) min ( Z=-0.735, P=0.463). Intraoperative blood loss was 200 (100-900) ml in the experimental group and 300 (100-800) ml in the control group ( Z=-1.244, P=0.213). Postoperative upper margin distance of the experimental group was (3.6±1.7) cm compared to control group of (1.8±1.1) cm ( t=-0.735, P<0.01). The positive rate of margin in the experimental group was 4% vs. 15% in the control group ( χ2=1.931, P=0.165). The length of postoperative hospital stay in the experimental group was (18.6±5.2) d vs. (20.5±4.7) d ( t=-1.455, P=0.151). Surgery-related complications developed in 19% in the experimental group vs. 27% in the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The application of the transorally inserted anvil in the operation of patients with locally relapsed or denovo esophagogastric junction cancer after initial operation reduces the difficulty of operation and decreases the positive rate of margin.

Objective:To observe and analyze the morphological characteristic of bone marrow and peripheral blood in patients diagnosed with de novo acute leukemia.Methods:From October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2021, 1151 patients aged 47 (26, 62) years, consisting of 602 males and 549 females with newly diagnosed acute leukemia in the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, were collected to preform the morphological analysis in bone marrow and peripheral blood smears. Based on the comprehensive diagnosis results of morphology, immunology, cytogenetics, and molecular biology, comparison between acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), AML with RUNX1-RUNXITI gene, AML with CBFβ/MYH11 gene, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with PML/RARA gene, AML with NPM1 gene, the rest of the AML, Ph+ALL and Ph-ALL were performed by Chi-square test along with analysis of the differences in the ratio of wood bundle cells, pseudo-Chediak-Higashi (PCH) inclusions, cytoplasmic small particles, nuclear notches, leukemia cells with cup-like changes (cup cells); as well as the differences in the micromeganuclei, early immature granulocytes, plasma cells, high eosinophils and other accompanying cells and the distribution of "grape-like" aggregation. Finally, the morphological characteristics of acute leukemia cells, the appearance and arrangement of accompanying cells were summarized.Results:Between AML and ALL, there were statistically significant differences in cytoplasmic Auer bodies[(45.5%, 0%), χ 2=211.400, P<0.01], PCH inclusion bodies[(28.9%, 0%), χ 2=114.100, P<0.01], cytoplasmic fine particles[(20.7%, 2.9%), χ 2=53.798, P<0.01], nuclear notches[(0.7%, 6.1%), χ 2=30.906, P<0.01], and goblet cells[(4.9%, 0.3%), χ 2=13.495, P<0.01], micromegakaryus [(22.4%, 0.3%), χ 2=80.398, P<0.01], plasma cells[(87.6%, 10.6%), χ 2=604.241, P<0.01], hyperacidophils[(15.3%, 1.0%), χ 2=46.116, P<0.01] showed significant differences in the "grape-like" aggregation distribution. In AML with RUNX1-RUNXITI gene, the changes of vacuoles and PCH inclusion bodies are more obvious; in AML with CBFβ/MYH11 gene, the increase of hypereosinophils is more obvious; in APL with PML/RARA gene, the increase of woodbundle is more obvious. The morphology of nuclei chromatin, nucleolus, and vacuoles were also different among the groups. Comparison between Ph+ALL and Ph-ALL showed that Ph+ALL was more prone to develop early immature granulocytes and plasma cells (all P<0.05). Conclusion:There are significant differences between AML and ALL in the characteristics of leukemia cells, the regularity of accompanying cells, and the aggregation and distribution patterns. The subtypes of AML with specific genetic abnormalities have their own characteristics in the appearance of vacuoles, PCH inclusions, hypereosinophils, woodbundle cells, and goblet cells. Ph+ALL is more prone to present early immature granulocytes and plasma cells.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo establish the characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides， oligosaccharides and monosaccharides of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix， and find out the difference of the sugar spectrum between the two， so as to provide a basis for quality evaluation of Astragali Radix. MethodThe relative molecular weight distribution of polysaccharides from 18 batches of wild-simulated Astragali Radix and 12 batches of transplanted Astragali Radix were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection（HPLC-ELSD） to establish the characteristic chromatograms of two kinds of polysaccharides. The difference in the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ， a polysaccharide component with a relative molecular weight of 10 kDa， in two kinds of Astragali Radix was analyzed， and the critical value of peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was determined by receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve. At the same time， APS-Ⅱ was partially acid-hydrolyzed by trifluoroacetic acid（TFA） to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of oligosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC-ELSD， and the characteristics of differential oligosaccharides were found by principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Two kinds of APS-Ⅱ were completely acid-hydrolyzed by TFA and derivatized to establish characteristic spectra of two kinds of monosaccharides from Astragali Radix based on HPLC， PCA and OPLS-DA were performed on the peak area ratio of two kinds of monosaccharides to explore the differences in the composition of two kinds of APS-Ⅱ monosaccharides. ResultThe characteristic sugar spectrum of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix showed that the peak area ratio of APS-Ⅱ was the main difference， and the peak area of APS-Ⅱ of wild-simulated and transplanted Astragali Radix were 89.17%-97.17% and 80.14%-91.96%， respectively. The ROC curve determined the critical value of 92.28% for the difference of APS-Ⅱ peak area ratio of the two kinds of Astragali Radix. The multivariate analysis of APS-Ⅱ oligosaccharides revealed that the peak area ratio of oligosaccharides with polymerization degree≥10 was the main difference， which ranged from 11.835%-19.092% for wild-simulated products and 2.778%-7.017% for transplanted products. The results of monosaccharide characteristic sugar spectrum analysis showed that both Astragali Radix species consisted of six monosaccharides， and glucose and arabinose were the differential monosaccharide fractions. The peak area ratios of glucose and arabinose in wild-simulated products were 85%-93.9% and 2.7%-5.8%， respectively， while those of transplanted products were 74.3%-87.3% and 5.3%-10.7%， suggesting that the structures of the two polysaccharide fractions APS-Ⅱ of Astragali Radix may be different. ConclusionThe difference of sugar spectrum between two kinds of Astragali Radix may be related to the content and structure of APS-Ⅱ， and this study may provide a reference for the study of carbohydrates in Astragali Radix and the quality evaluation of medicinal materials.

Radiotherapy is widely used in the management of advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical efficacy is limited by the safe irradiated dose. Sensitizing tumor cells to radiotherapy via interrupting DNA repair is a promising approach to conquering the limitation. The BRCA1-BARD1 complex has been demonstrated to play a critical role in homologous recombination (HR) DSB repair, and its functions may be affected by HERC2 or BAP1. Accumulated evidence illustrates that the ubiquitination-deubiquitination balance is involved in these processes; however, the precise mechanism for the cross-talk among these proteins in HR repair following radiation hasn't been defined. Through activity-based profiling, we identified PT33 as an active entity for HR repair suppression. Subsequently, we revealed that BAP1 serves as a novel molecular target of PT33 via a CRISPR-based deubiquitinase screen. Mechanistically, pharmacological covalent inhibition of BAP1 with PT33 recruits HERC2 to compete with BARD1 for BRCA1 interaction, interrupting HR repair. Consequently, PT33 treatment can substantially enhance the sensitivity of CRC cells to radiotherapy in vitro and in vivo. Overall, these findings provide a mechanistic basis for PT33-induced HR suppression and may guide an effective strategy to improve therapeutic gain.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of transurethral oral mucosa urethroplasty for urethral meatus and navicular fossa stricture reconstruction.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 9 patients who underwent transurethral repair of urethral meatus and navicular fossa stricture by oral mucosa in our hospital from October 2021 to December 2022. The average age was (58.4±10.4) years old. 5 patients had a history of transurethral endoscopic surgery, 2 had penile lichen sclerosis, and 2 had no obvious causes. Nine patients were diagnosed with urethral meatus and navicular fossa stricture through retrograde urethrography before surgery. The average maximum preoperative urine flow rate was(3.2±0.7)ml/s. Surgical procedure: The incision was firstly made at 6 o'clock using ophthalmic scalpel, the entire layer of urethral scar was opened, and gradually penetrated into the urethral cavity until it reached the normal mucosa of the urethra. A fan-shaped wound was obtained by cutting the scar of 4 to 8 o'clock. The enlarged urethral lumen could smoothly pass through the F24 urethral probe. Measure the stricture length and width, and trim the oral mucosa to the appropriate shape. One arm of the 5-0 absorbable suture passed through the tip of the oral mucosal flap and the normal urethral mucosa outside the apex of the urethral fan-shaped wound, and then passed through the skin on the ventral side of the penis. The other arm of the suture passed through the apex of the fan-shaped wound and passes through the skin on the ventral side of the penis. Tighten the suture to bring the oral mucosa into the urethral cavity and cover the wound surface. If the narrow length was longer, we could suture three stitches to fix the oral mucosa with the V-shaped apex of the fan-shaped wound in a similar way, and the rest could be sutured and fixed with the urethral wound edge in direct vision. The actual measured average length of urethral stricture during the surgery was(1.6±0.5) cm. The appearance of the glans penis, stricture recurrence, maximum urine flow rate, and patient's urination symptoms were recorded after surgery 1 to 3 months. Functional success was defined as the lack of patient reported obstructive voiding symptoms, satisfaction with the appearance of the glans penis, and a slit like external urethral orifice.Results:All 9 patients successfully completed the surgery and the average maximum urine flow rate was(21.5±3.7)ml/s after 3 months of follow up. The overall successful rate was 100%.One patient experienced spraying urination 1 month later after removing the catheter. Examination revealed that protrusion and separation were found at the urethral anastomosis, and symptoms disappeared after urethral dilation. The other patients did not have any obvious complications, satisfactory with the appearance of the penis head and urination.Conclusions:Transurethral oral mucosal repair of urethral meatus and navicular fossa stricture could be a safe, and effective surgical method. It not only solves the problem of urination, but also takes into account the cosmetic effect of penis.

Multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used for analysis of prognostic influencing factors.Results:The median age of patients was 58 years. There were 20 cases (69.0%) below 65 years, 12 cases (41.4%) of complicated with stomach function damage, 6 cases (20.7%) of extramedullary invasion. All patients were treated with combined therapy containing proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in the first-line therapy, and the overall response rate was 82.8% (24/29). Among 21 relapsed/refractory patients, 12 patients were treated with the second-line or above treatment regimen chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy, including 9 cases achieving very good partial remission (VGPR) or above; 5 patients were treated with the new drug daratozumab, including 1 case achieving complete remission (CR). The median OS time of 29 patients was 48 months (95% CI 17-79 months), the median PFS time after the first-line treatment was 9 months (95% CI 3-15 months), and the median PFS time after the second-line treatment was 11 months (95% CI 1-21 months). Multivariate Cox regression results showed that CAR-T therapy is an independent influencing factor of the prognosis of relapsed/ refractory IgD MM patients ( HR = 0.094, 95% CI 0.019-0.473, P = 0.004). Conclusions:IgD MM patients are characterized with lower onset age, more renal function damage and a high incidence of extramedullary invasion. The first-line therapy containing proteasome inhibitor has a better short-term efficacy, and CAR-T therapy can improve the remission rate and survival rate of relapsed/refractory IgD MM to a certain extent.
RESUMO
Objective:To establish the quality evaluation method of Perillae caulis formula granules based on the three kind of quality indexes of standard decoction. Methods:Eighteen batches of Perillae caulis were collected from different habitats according to different technical requirements, eighteen batches of standard decoction and three batches of formula granules were prepared and the paste-forming rates were calculated. The content of Caffeic acid and Rosmarinic acid were determined and calculated by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). Then the fingerprints of standard decoction of and formula granules of Perillae caulis were established by UPLC . The similarity values of fingerprints between formula granules and standard decoction were calculated. Results:The average paste-forming rate of standard decoction was (7.16±1.97)%. The paste-forming rates of three batches of formula granules were 5.52%, 5.25% and 5.34%, respectively. The average content of Caffeic acid and Rosmarinic acid in standard decoction was (12.06±3.37)mg/g. The contents of three batches of formula granules were 5.52, 5.82, 5.77 mg/g, respectively. Seven common fingerprint peaks were identified in the fingerprints of standard decoction and formula granules, three of which were identified as Caffeic acid, N-Feruloyl Octopus amine and Rosmarinic acid by comparison of reference substance. The fingerprints similarity of Perillae caulis dispensing granules and standard decoction were 1.000, 0.995 and 0.997, respectively. Conclusions:The quality indexes of three batches of formulation granules are consistent with standard decoction. This method can provide basis for the establishment of quality standard of Perillae caulis dispensing granules.
RESUMO
Objective:To establish the quality evaluation method of Prunellae spica dispensing granules based on three quality indexes of standard decoction. Methods:Fourteen batches of Prunellae spica were collected from different habitats. According to technical requirements, fourteen batches of Prunellae spica standard decoction and three batches of formula granules were prepared and the paste-forming rates were calculated. The fingerprints of Prunellae spica standard decoction and formula granules were established by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). The similarity values of fingerprints between dispensing granules and standard decoction were calculated. The content and transferring rate of Rosmarinic acid were determined and calculated. Results:The average paste-forming rate of Prunellae spica was (12.59±2.32)%. The paste-forming rates of the three batches were 11.14%, 10.78% and 10.39% respectively. The average content of Rosmarinic acid in standard decoction was (18.99±9.74)mg/g. The average transferring rate was (60.58±7.87)%. The contents of three batches were 7.40 mg/g, 7.49 mg/g and 7.09 mg/g. The transferring rates were 52.06%, 50.10% and 50.40% respectively. Nine common fingerprint peaks were identified in the fingerprints of standard decoction and formula granules, two of which were identified as Rosmarinic acid and Caffeic acid by comparison of reference substance. The fingerprints similarity of Prunellae spica dispensing granules and standard decoction were 0.954, 0.973 and 0.952, respectively. Conclusions:The quality indexes of three batches of formulation granules are consistent with standard decoction. This method could provide reference for the establishment of quality standard of Prunellae spica dispensing granules.
