RESUMEN
[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience of Professor CHEN Jian in treating periodic fever syndrome(PFS)in children from"latent fire".[Methods]Through outpatient follow-up study,collection of medical records and review of relevant literature,this paper summarized the etiology,pathogenesis and Professor CHEN's treatment experience of PFS in children from"latent fire",and a case was presented for verification.[Results]Professor CHEN believes that the core pathogenesis of PFS in children is"latent fire".Phlegm,poison and stasis are not only pathological products,but also important pathogenic factors throughout the course of the disease.Depression is the pathological state of the whole course of the disease.In the treatment,the method of supplementing Qi to remove heat or nourishing Yin to clear heat is used and combined with regulating Qi,and the self-prepared prescription is the effective treatment of PFS in children.The main symptom of the case was periodic fever,which was differentiated as Yin deficiency fever.The treatment of nourishing Yin and clearing heat,promoting Qi movement and relieving depression was applied,and good effect was achieved.[Conclusion]Professor CHEN's treatment of PFS in children from"latent fire"is effective,has certain guiding significance,and is worthy of clinical reference.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To investigate the preventive effect of cucurbitacin B (CB) on sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and its mechanism. METHODS The mice were divided into control group, model group, dexamethasone group (positive control, 2 mg/kg), CB low-dose and high-dose groups (25, 50 mg/kg). Each group was given relevant medicine intraperitoneally, once a day, for 3 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, those groups were given lipopolysaccharide (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally to establish sepsis-induced ALI model (finally, 8 mice per group were included in the experiment), except for control group. Twenty-four hours after medication, blood routine indicators (total white blood cell count, neutrophils count, lymphocytes count), lung function indicators (total lung resistance, pulmonary outflow resistance, lung dynamic compliance, peak expiratory flow rate, and maximum ventilation volume), dry wet ratio of lung tissue were measured in each group. The lung tissue level of myeloperoxidase (MPO), and the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were all detected. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression of phosphorylation signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in the lung tissue. Western blot assay was used to detect the expressions of proteins related to IL-6/JAK2/ STAT3 signaling pathway in the lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with control group, total pulmonary resistance, pulmonary flow resistance, dry wet ratio of lung tissue, the total white blood cell count, neutrophils count, lymphocytes count of whole blood, the lung tissue level of MPO and serum levels of MDA, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, the p-STAT3 protein optical density value, the protein expressions of IL-6 and IL-6 receptor, and the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 protein were increased significantly in the model group (P<0.01), while lung dynamic compliance, peak expiratory flow rate, maximum ventilation volume and serum level of SOD were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Pulmonary tissue showed alveolar collapse and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Compared with the model group, the above indexes of mice were reversed significantly in dexamethasone group and CB groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the pathological damage of lung tissue was reduced. CONCLUSIONS CB can prevent sepsis-induced ALI by inhibiting the activity of Δ 基金项目遵义市科技计划项目(No.202252) IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and relieving *第一作者主治医师。研究方向:重症医学。E-mail:fjuanxui@ 163.com inflammatory reactions. # 通信作者 主任医师。研究方向:儿童呼吸系统疾病诊断与治
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Decoction on microRNA-126a-5p(miR-126a-5p)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)signaling pathway in cervical spondylotic myelopathy model rats.Methods Thirty healthy male SD rats were divided into the sham operation group,the model group and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)group by random number table method.Cervical spondylotic myelopathy models were prepared in the model group and the TCM group.The TCM group was given intragastric administration of Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Decoction,while the sham operation group and the model group were given intragastric administration of normal saline for 12 weeks.After intervention,the threshold of mechanical stimulation and retraction time of thermal stimulation in each group were measured by behavior tests.Rats were sacrificed to collect intervertebral disc tissue for hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and observe the number of vascular buds in intervertebral disc.Rat intervertebral disc annulus fibrosus cells were subjected to terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)staining.The miR-126a-5p and VEGF mRNA of rat intervertebral disc tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The expression of VEGF protein of rat intervertebral disc tissue was detected by Western blot assay.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the number of vascular buds in intervertebral disc was decreased in the model group and the TCM group.The cell destruction of intervertebral disc annulus was obvious in rats,and apoptosis was high and cell density decreased.Mechanical stimulation threshold decreased,and mechanical stimulation threshold decreased.The level of miR-126a-5p was decreased,and the expression levels of VEGF mRNA and protein were increased.Compared with the model group,the number of vascular buds in intervertebral disc was increased in the TCM group.The destruction of intervertebral disc annulus cells was alleviated in rats.The apoptosis of annulus fibrosus cells in intervertebral disc decreased and cell density increased.The threshold of mechanical stimulation increased,and the retraction time of thermal stimulation was prolonged.The level of miR-126a-5p increased,and the expression levels of VEGF mRNA and protein decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Decoction in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy may be related to the up-regulation of miR-126a-5p expression and the down-regulation of VEGF expression.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)level in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)developing contrast-induced acute kidney injury(CIAKI)after PCI.Methods A total of 1085 elderly STEMI patients undergoing emergency PCI in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to March 2023 were consecutively recruited as a training set,and another 287 elderly STEMI pa-tients receiving emergency PCI in the East Branch of the Affiliated Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were included as a verification set.According to the diagnostic criteria of CIAKI,they were divided into CIAKI group(n=95)and non-CIAKI group(n=990).Based on the results of restricted cubic spline(RCS)analysis,the patients from the training set were assigned into low-risk subgroup(n=292),moderate-risk group(n=515)and high-risk group(n=278).Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CIAKI in elder-ly STEMI patients after PCI,and ROC curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of combi-nation of SII and NT-proBNP.The risk of CIAKI was compared among the patients at different risk grades.Results Age,SII,baseline serum creatinine,NT-proBNP,fasting blood glucose and use of diuretics were independent risk factors for CIAKI after primary PCI in elderly STEMI patients(P<0.05,P<0.01).The AUC value of SII combined with NT-proBNP in predicting CIAKI was 0.801(95%CI:0.761-0.842,P<0.01),with a sensitivity of 83.2%and a specificity of 67.5%,both superior to that of SII or NT-proBNP alone.RCS analysis revealed an increased risk of CIAKI at SII ≥1084.97 × 109/L and NT-proBNP ≥296.12 ng/L.The incidence of CIAKI was increased with the increase of risk grades(1.71%vs 6.41%vs 20.50%).Conclusion SII and NT-proBNP are independent risk factors for CIAKI after emergency PCI in elderly STEMI pa-tients.And their combination has better predictive value for CIAKI.
RESUMEN
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in gastrointestinal tract. Its onset and development are associated with its own characteristics as well as the tumor microenvironment (TME) in which tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant immune cells. After being recruited to the tumor site and stimulated by different signals in TME, TAMs can grow into two different subtypes, namely M1 and M2. TAMs are mainly manifested as M1 macrophages in the early stage of colorectal cancer, mediating the immune response to inhibit tumor growth. In the late stage, TAMs mainly grow into M2 macrophages, showing the ability to suppress immunity, stimulate the proliferation of tumor cells and tumor angiogenesis, and promote the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. It has been found that intervention in TAMs polarization can regulate its relationship with the onset and development of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To compare the application effect of whole-process seamless nursing and conventional nursing in the perioperative period of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with kyphosis complicated by cervical spine fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 64 patients with AS with kyphosis complicated by cervical spine fracture admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2017 to December 2022, including 37 males and 27 females, aged 27-73 years [(49.8±14.6)years]. There were 43 patients with vertebral fractures and 21 with intervertebral space fractures. All patients underwent reduction and fixation or correction and fixation. Thirty-two patients admitted from April 2017 to August 2019 received conventional care (conventional nursing group), and 32 patients admitted from September 2019 to December 2022 received whole-process seamless care (seamless nursing group). The two groups were compared concerning the visual analog scale (VAS) before, at 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score before surgery, at 1 and 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the health survey questionnaire (SF-36) score and patient satisfaction score before surgery and at the last follow-up, as well as the incidence of postoperative complications.Results:All patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(9.8±3.2)months]. There was no statistical difference in preoperative VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The values of VAS in the seamless nursing group were (3.9±1.9)points, (4.2±0.7)points, (2.7±0.9)points, (2.6±0.6)points, and (1.7±0.8)points at 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, respectively, lower than those of the conventional nursing group [(5.7±1.2)points, (5.8±1.1)points, (3.6±1.2)points, (3.2±1.1)points, and (2.4±1.0)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The VAS of the seamless nursing group at 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 month, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up was lower than that before surgery (all P<0.05). The VAS at 1 and 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up was lower than those before and at 12, 24 hours after surgery and the VAS at the last follow-up was lower than those at 1, 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05). The differences among VAS of the conventional nursing group before and at 12, 24 hours after surgery were statistically insignificant (all P>0.05). The VAS of the conventional nursing group at 1 and 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up was lower than those before surgery and at 12, 24 hours after surgery and the VAS at the last follow-up was lower than those at 1, 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in VAS of the two groups between 12 hours and 24 hours after surgery, and between 1 month and 3 months after surgery (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the ASIA scores before surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were significant improvements in ASIA scores in the seamless nursing group at 1, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up compared with those of the conventional nursing group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in preoperative SF-36 score and patient satisfaction score between the two groups (all P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the SF-36 score and patient satisfaction score of the seamless nursing group were (47.4±6.2)points and (99.5±1.2)points, respectively, which were higher than those of the conventional nursing group [(42.2±7.3)points and (98.1±1.6)points] (all P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the SF-36 score and patient satisfaction score of the seamless nursing group were higher than those before surgery (all P<0.01). The SF-36 score of the conventional nursing group was higher than that before surgery ( P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction score ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the seamless nursing group was 6.3% (2/32), lower than that of the conventional nursing group [25.0% (8/32)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For AS with kyphosis complicated by cervical spine fracture, whole-process seamless nursing is associated with alleviated postoperative pain, improved spinal nervous function, quality of life and degree of satisfaction, and reduced incidence of complications compared with the conventional nursing.
RESUMEN
Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

They were catheterized with turning head to the opposite insertion side and turning head to the PICC insertion side, respectively. The incidence of catheter heterotopia, complications as well as degree of comfort during the placement of PICC were compared between the two groups.Results:The successful cases of one-time delivery tube and occurred catheter heterotopia were 97.1% (169/174) and 1.2% (2/174) in the experimental group, the index mentioned above were 91.4% (159/174) and 7.5% (13/174) in the control group, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ2=5.30, 8.43, both P<0.05). The results from survival curve analysis demonstrated that the occurred of catheter-related venous thrombosis and catheter-related bloodstream infections were significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group ( χ2=15.23, 8.76, both P<0.05). The score of comfort during the placement of PICC was (15.00 ± 2.19) in the experimental group, which was significantly lower than (16.86 ± 1.88) points in the control group ( t=8.49, P<0.05). Conclusions:Adopting turning head to the opposite insertion side method can improve the success rate of one-time delivery tube, reduce the incidence of catheter heterotopia and reduce the discomfort of patients during PICC catheterization.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze potential roles of mechanical stress in the formation of plantar melanoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 129 cases of plantar melanoma in Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between 2014 and 2021, and the distribution and clinical characteristics of plantar melanoma were analyzed. The goodness-of-fit test was used to compare the distribution of plantar melanoma between weight-bearing areas (the toes, forefoot, lateral midfoot, heel) and non-weight-bearing areas of the foot (the arch) , while t test, Fisher′s exact test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to analyze differences in clinicopathological characteristics of plantar melanoma between weight-bearing areas and non-weight-bearing areas of the foot. Results:Among the 129 patients with plantar melanoma, 66 (51.2%) were males and 63 (48.8%) were females, and their age at onset was 60.6 ± 13.1 years. Plantar melanoma mostly occurred on the heel (65 lesions, 1.31 lesions per square centimeter) , followed by the forefoot (31 lesions, 0.41 lesions per square centimeter) , the bottom of the toes (15 lesions, 0.43 lesions per square centimeter) , lateral midfoot (11 lesions, 0.38 lesions per square centimeter) and the arch of foot (7 lesions, 0.16 lesions per square centimeter) . The goodness-of-fit test showed that melanoma was more prone to occur in the weight-bearing areas than in the non-weight-bearing areas ( χ2 = 66.59, P < 0.001) ; compared with the arch of foot, a higher incidence density was observed in the heel and forefoot ( χ2 = 38.29, 5.23, P < 0.001, = 0.022, respectively) . There were no significant differences in the gender ratio, age and occupation of patients, prevalence rates of left/right foot involvement, Breslow thickness, ulceration status, Clark grades, lymph node metastasis rate, and stages between melanomas in the weight-bearing areas and those in non-weight-bearing areas (all P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Plantar melanoma was more prone to occur in the weight-bearing areas than in the non-weight-bearing areas, suggesting that mechanical stress may be related to the occurrence and development of melanoma.
RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the distribution ratio of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis(HNL) in the age of children, evaluate glucocorticoids and Hydroxychloroquine therapeutic effects, evaluate the meaning of lymph node excisional biopsy.Methods:The data of 70 cases of patients with the lymph node excisional biopsy in Tianjin Children′s Hospital from December 2010 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.and summarized the treatment experience and prognosis.Results:HNL mostly occurs in children 7-12 years old.The male-female ratio was 1.12∶1.00, but over 13 years old was 0.6∶1.0.Eighteen point one six percent (13 cases) of HNL was relieved after the lymph node excisional biopsy.Thirty-five cases were treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and only 10 cases (14.2%) were improved with NSAIDs alone and the rest were improved in combination with glucocorticoids.Four patients with ineffective glucocorticoids therapy were improved in combination with Hydroxychloroquine.Conclusion:HNL in children was more common in school-age children.For children under 13 years old, the incidence among boys is slightly higher than that among girls; for children above 13 years old, the incidence among boys is slightly lower than that among girls.Lymph node biopsy is still the gold standard for diagnosis and is conducive to remission.The course of disease is self-limited, for the cases that NSAIDs is poor, the glucocorticoid treatment should be used.For refractory cases, combined Hydroxychloroquine treatment can be used.

Objective:To discuss the application effect of enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) combined with system nursing in patients with thoracolumbar fracture accompanied by nerve injury.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 84 patients with bilateral thoracolumbar fractures accompanied by nerve injury admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from August 2017 to January 2020. All patients were treated with posterior thoracolumbar spinal canal decompression, bone grafting and internal fixation. There were 55 males and 29 females, aged 36-49 years [(43.2±5.2)years]. The injury segments were located at T 10-T 11 in 6 patients, T 11-T 12 in 38, T 12-L 1 in 31, and L 1-L 2 in 9. According to the Frankel classification of neurological function, 19 patients were rated as grade A, 22 grade B, 38 grade C, and 5 grade D. A total of 42 patients were treated by ERAS combined with system nursing (ERAS group), and 42 patients by routine rehabilitation nursing (routine nursing group). The hospitalization time, incidence of perioperative complications, and patients' satisfaction with nursing work were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were evaluated at postoperative 1 week and 3 months. The Frankel classification of neurological function and the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36) score were measured at postoperative 3 months. Results:All patients were followed up for 3-4 months [(3.2±1.7)months]. The hospitalization time in ERAS group was (10.9±1.6)days, significantly shorter than (14.4±1.2)days in routine nursing group ( P<0.05). The incidence of perioperative complications in ERAS group was 10%(4/42), significantly shorter than 29%(12/42) in routine nursing group ( P<0.05). The satisfaction rates in ERAS group and routine nursing group were 93%(39/42) and 76%(32/42), respectively ( P<0.05). At 1 week and 3 months after operation, the VAS in ERAS group [(1.7±0.4)points, (1.2±0.3)points]was significantly lower than those in routine nursing group [(4.8±0.9)points, (3.1±0.7)points]( P<0.05). At 1 week and 3 months after operation, the ODI in ERAS group [(13.5±1.8)points, (10.3±1.4)points] was significantly lower than those in routine nursing group [(17.9±2.0)points, (15.6±2.1)points]( P<0.05).

Objective@#To investigate the expression of type Ⅰ collagen α1 chain protein (COL1A1) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis of TNBC.@*Methods@#A total of 148 TNBC specimens were collected from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 2013 to 2015. The mRNA expression of COL1A1 was detected by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR and the protein expression of COL1A1 was detected by Western blot. The expression of COL1A1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in TNBC were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the expression of COL1A1 and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of TNBC patients was analyzed.@*Results@#The mRNA and protein expression of COL1A1 in MDA-MB-231 cells were 1.696±0.486 and 0.550±0.088, respectively, which were higher than those in MCF-10A cells (1.020±0.231 and 0.350±0.083, P=0.032, P=0.046). The mRNA and protein expression of COL1A1 in TNBC tissues were 1.632 ±0.598 and 0.733 ±0.068, respectively, which were higher than those in paracancerous tissues (1.041±0.316 and 0.612±0.016, P=0.003, P=0.039). The high expression rates of COL1A1 and α-SMA in TNBC tissues were 35.8% and 56.7% respectively, which were higher than those in paracancerous tissues (16.7% and 30.0%, P=0.041, P=0.037). The expression of COL1A1 was correlated with tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion and α-SMA expression (all P<0.05). The median survival time in COL1A1 high expression group was 64 months, which was lower than that in low expression group (73 months, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis of Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that COL1A1 expression was an independent influencing factor for the survival of TNBC patients (HR=3.952, P=0.004).@*Conclusion@#The high expression of COL1A1 in TNBC is an independent prognostic factor of TNBC patients.

To improve clinicians′ understanding of nail diseases, the authors summarize dermoscopic manifestations of common nail diseases based on dermoscopic manifestations of definitely diagnosed nail diseases in Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from June 2017 to February 2019.
RESUMEN
Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasms among all brain malignancies, and the microtubule affinity regulating kinases (MARKs) have become potential drug targets for glioma. Here, we report a novel dual small-molecule inhibitor of MARK3 and MARK4, designated as PCC0208017. PCC0208017 strongly inhibited kinase activity against MARK3 and MARK4, and strongly reduced proliferation in three glioma cell lines. This compound attenuated glioma cell migration, glioma cell invasion, and angiogenesis. Molecular mechanism studies revealed that PCC0208017 decreased the phosphorylation of Tau, disrupted microtubule dynamics, and induced a G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. In an glioma model, PCC0208017 showed robust anti-tumor activity, blood-brain barrier permeability, and a good oral pharmacokinetic profile. Molecular docking studies showed that PCC0208017 exhibited high binding affinity to MARK3 and MARK4. Taken together, our study describes for the first time that PCC0208017, a novel MARK3/MARK4 inhibitor, might be a promising lead compound for treatment of glioma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic bortezomib in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The data of 60 MM patients treated with domestic bortezomib as the basic chemotherapy regimen in 5 medical centers of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Heze Municipal Hospital, Weifang People's Hospital, Binzhou Medical University Hospital, Zibo Central Hospital in Shandong Province from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, 52 of which were newly treated patients and 8 were relapsed and refractory patients. The patients received at least 2 courses of combined chemotherapy based on domestic bortezomib, and the efficacy was assessed and evaluated every 2 courses.Results:Follow-up until June 30, 2019 showed that some patients were unable to return to the hospital for regular treatment. All patients completed at least 2 courses of treatment, with an overall effective rate (ORR) of 76.7% (46/60); 42 patients completed 4 courses of treatment, with an ORR of 78.6% (33/42); 30 patients completed 6 courses of treatment, with an ORR of 86.7% (26/30); there was no significant difference in ORR of 2, 4 and 6 courses ( P > 0.05). The complete remission+very good partial remission rates of 2, 4 and 6 courses were 16.7% (10/60), 47.6% (20/42) and 66.7% (20/30), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). During the treatment, the adverse events mainly included infection, peripheral neuropathy, herpes, digestive tract symptoms, hematologic toxicities and so on, which were light and moderate mostly, and most of them can be reversed. The total incidence of adverse events in patients who completed 2, 4 and 6 courses of treatment were 91.7% (55/60), 66.7% (28/42) and 36.7% (11/30), respectively. Conclusions:The domestic bortezomib-based chemotherapy regimens have good efficacy in the treatment of MM. The incidence of adverse events is similar to that of the original drug, and patients can tolerate the adverse events.
RESUMEN
A 23-year-old male patient developed vesicles on the scrotum 5 years prior to this presentation.Then,vesicles gradually affected the whole scrotum,whick easily ruptured due to friction.Physical examination showed diffuse millet-sized vesicles on the scrotum with milky white fluids,and exudates with chyle-like appearance.Histopathological examination revealed proliferating and dilated lymphatic vessels with different sizes of lumens in the dermis.Immunohistochemical study showed positive staining for D2-40 and CD31.The patient was diagnosed with scrotal lymphangioma,and received photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid.After the treatment,the number of vesicles markedly decreased,and no obvious exudates were observed.During 1 year of follow up,no scars or other complications occurred,and no obvious relapse was found.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of pharmacists in public hospitals from Chongqing after the comprehensive reform of public hospitals, to put forward countermeasures and suggestions. METHODS: In questionnaire survey, pharmacists were selected from 33 public hospitals of secondary grade and above in Chongqing as survey objects. The current status of pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing from Sept. to Aug. 2018 was collected and surveyed in respects of the basic situation of pharmacists, the impact of medical reform policies, acceptance and professional development requirements of pharmacists. RESULTS: Totally 33 medical institutions included 13 third-grade hospitals and 20 secondary hospitals. A total of 838 questionnaires were distributed and 702 questionnaires were effectively recovered with effective recovery rate of 83.8%. According to the survey results, the majority of pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing were 25-35 years old (50.6%); 8 (1.1%) had doctor’s degree, 86 (12.3%) had master’s degree, and 25.9% had junior college and technical secondary schools. The number of master’s and doctor’s degrees in third-grade hospitals was higher than that of secondary hospitals, but there were still junior college and technical secondary school degrees in third-grade hospitals. Pharmacists were mainly referred to as middle and junior titles, 217 of which were middle-level titles (30.9%), and 434 were primary titles(61.8%); the majors were mainly pharmacy (64%), followed by traditional Chinese pharmacology (18.7%). Most of the working years were within 10 years (54.9%). There were 274 people (39.0%) with an annual income of less than 50 000 yuan, 342 people (48.7%) with an annual income of 50 000- 100 000 yuan and only 86 people (12.3%) with an annual income of more than 100 000 yuan. After the implementation of new medical reform, 430 people (61.3%) thought that the workload had increased significantly or slightly, 99 people (14.1%) thought that the scope of work was significantly expanded, and 433 people thought that the annual income after medical reform was slightly reduced or significantly reduced (61.7%); 253 people (36.0%) believed that hospital leaders did not pay attention to and did not pay much attention to pharmacists; 294 (41.9%) believed that medical staffs relatively accepted or highly accepted pharmacists. The reasons why pharmaceutical staffs thought that they were not valued mainly included five aspects, including that patients did not understand them; clinical medical staff did not agree with them; leaders did not pay attention to them; corresponding systems and regulations lacked; professional quality lacked. The main work content of pharmacists was mainly based on drug dispensing, and there were fewer people carrying out clinical pharmaceutical care, pharmacy management, pharmaceutical administration and quality control, preparation, pharmaceutical research. The jobs that they hoped to engage in were clinical pharmaceutical care, drug dispensing, pharmaceutical administration and quality monitoring, etc. Pharmacists believed that drug dispensing and delivery, reviewing medical orders, medication education guidance, consultation and medication counseling, drug management were important skills. The pharmaceutical staffs were good at skills, such as medical order review, medication education guidance, drug management. CONCLUSIONS: At present, the pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing have some problems, such as low education level, few clinical pharmaceutical professionals, low overall income and not recognized. It is suggested to protect the role and position of pharmacists in the medical treatment process from the perspective of introducing highly educated personnel of clinical pharmacy, improving the professional and educational structure of pharmacists, changing the pharmaceutical care mode, and improving their own ability and treatment.
RESUMEN
To construct an intelligent assistant diagnosis model based on the clinical images of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and pigmented nevi in Chinese by using the advanced convolutional neural network (CNN). Methods: Based on the Xiangya Medical Big Data Platform, we constructed a large-scale clinical image dataset of skin diseases according to Chinese ethnicity and the Xiangya Skin Disease Dataset. We evaluated the performance of 5 mainstream CNN models (ResNet50, InceptionV3, InceptionResNetV2, DenseNet121, and Xception) on a subset of BCC and pigmented nevi of this dataset. We also analyzed the basis of the diagnosis results in the form of heatmaps. We compared the optimal CNN classification model with 30 professional dermatologists. Results: The Xiangya Skin Disease Dataset contains 150 223 clinical images with lesion annotations, covering 543 skin diseases, and each image in the dataset contains support for pathological gold standards and the patient's overall medical history. On the test set of 349 BCC and 497 pigmented nevi, the optimal CNN model was Xception, and its classification accuracy can reach 93.5%, of which the area under curve (AUC) values were 0.974 and 0.969, respectively. The results of the heatmap showed that the CNN model can indeed learn the characteristics associated with disease identification. The ability of the Xception model to identify clinical images of BCC and Nevi was basically comparable to that of professional dermatologists. Conclusion: This study is the first assistant diagnosis study for skin tumor based on Chinese ethnic clinical dataset. It proves that CNN model has the ability to distinguish between Chinese ethnicity's BCC and Nevi, and lays a solid foundation for the following application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment for skin tumors.
