Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) gene transfer on oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization in mice. Methods Ninety-six 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group, oxygeninduced retinopathy (OIR) model group, gene treated group and empty vector group. The mice with their mothers were kept in (75plusmn;2) % 02 environment for 5 days and then returned to normoxia for 5 days to establish the OIR model. At postnatal day 12, the gene treated group received intravitreous injection of recombinant adenovirus (Ad) vector containing both enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and mouse 15-LOX-1 genes (Ad-15-LOX-1-EGFP) at 1 l, while the empty vector group received the same volume of recombinant Ad vector containing EGFP (Ad-EGFP). The expression of EGFP was observed on flat-mounted retina by fluorescence microscopy 2 days after intravitreous injection of Ad-15-LOX-1-EGFP. At postnatal day 17, the efficacy of 15-LOX-1 gene transfer on retinal tissue was detected by immunofluorescence staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The changes of retinal vessels, relative retinal non-perfusion and neovascularization areas were evaluated by fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran fluorescein angiography on flatmounted retina. The number of endothelium cell nuclei breaking through the inner limiting membrane (ILM) was counted on hematoxylin and eosin-stained retinal section. Results Two days after intravitreous injection of Ad-15-LOX-1-EGFP, the expression of EGFP had been seen by fluorescence microscopy on Flat-mounted retina. Immunofluorescence staining of retinal section revealed that 15-LOX-1 expression was primarily in the outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer and ganglion cell layer of retina. The 15-LOX-1 protein and mRNA expression levels were higher in gene treated group than those in OIR model group and empty vector group (tprotein=22.74 and 24.13 respectively.tmRNA=12.51 and 13.40 respectively; P＜0.01). The relative retinal non-perfusion and neovascularization areas were significantly smaller in gene treated group than those in OIR model group and empty vector group (tnon-perfusion=16.22 and 14.31 respectively.tneovascularization=9.97 and 9.07 respectively; P＜0.01), and the number of endothelium cell nuclei breaking through the ILM in gene treated group was obviously lower than the other two groups (t=14.25 and 11.62 respectively，P＜0.01). Conclusion 15-LOX-1 gene transfer can decrease the oxygen-induced retinal non-perfusion areas and inhibit the retinal neovascularization in mice.
Objective To summarize the related risk factors and preventive measures of acute pancreatitis (AP) combined with portal vein system thrombosis (PVST). Method The literatures on the general clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, risk factors and prevention prognosis of AP with PVST in recent years at home and abroad were reviewed. Results The incidence of AP combined with PVST was increasing, and the pathogenesis was complex, primarily related to pancreatitis and direct venous compression, which caused blood flow stagnation and hemodynamic disturbance, followed by induced venous thrombosis. Pancreatic necrosis, peripancreatic fluid volume accumulation and the severity of pancreatitis were the main risk factors for the onset of pancreatitis. Other local and systemic factors such as coagulation dysfunction, malnutrition, esophageal and gastric varices had also been reported in the literatures. At present, the prevention methods reported in relevant studies include anticoagulation treatment, pancreatic surgery debridement and drainage, nutritional support, systemic and local inflammation intervention, and early fluid resuscitation, etc. Conclusions The risk factors and pathogenesis of AP combined with PVST are complex and diverse, which requires early identification by clinical workers, early intervention and treatment to avoid or reduce the occurrence of PVST as much as possible to improve the prognosis of patients. However, some preventive measures still need further research to verify their safety and effectiveness.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of systemic chemotherapy on conditions of tumor infiltrating,metastasis and disease-specific survival (DSS) for advanced retinoblastoma (RB). MethodsForty-one patients with advanced RB who received enucleation were enrolled in this study. There were 26 males and 15 females, age at diagnosis was ranged from 2 to 72 months, with a mean of 23.08 months. There were 16 bilateral patients and 25 unilateral patients; 13 group D eyes and 28 group E eyes. 16 patients received enucleation as the primary treatment (operation group), 25 eyes received chemotherapy before enucleation (chemotherapy group). There was no significant statistical difference between two groups for the gender, unilateral and bilateral, international staging or diagnostic age (P>0.05). The histopathology report was performed to assess the risk of postoperative tumor-node-metastasis staging (pTNM) in each patient, and the extent of tumor invasion in the optic nerve, choroid and anterior chamber was divided into 3 levels of low risk, medium risk and high risk. Five deaths were all in the group E with chemotherapy before enucleation. Using R software survival analysis software package survfit function, the application of Kaplan-Meier estimation method, DSS of RB children was calculated from the time of diagnosis, up to the date of the death of patient. DSS differences between chemotherapy, operation group and eye removal time (more than 3 months, less than 3 months) in group E RB children were analyzed. ResultsThe proportion of high risk pTNM stage in chemotherapy group was significantly lower than the operation group. But there was no significant difference between the two groups in the overall risk classification (χ2=3.130,P=0.077). For group D eyes, the overall risk classification in chemotherapy group was significantly lower than the operation group (χ2=5.870,P=0.015). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the overall risk of group E eyes (χ2=0.020,P=0.889). The DSS in chemotherapy group and operation group were 0.71 and 1.00, respectively; the difference was significant (χ2=3.700,P=0.05). The DSS in children whose enucleation delayed for more than 3 months and children whose enucleation performed within 3 months were 0.64 and 1.00, respectively; the difference was significant (χ2=4.800,P=0.028). ConclusionSystemic chemotherapy did not reduce the risk of tumor invasion and metastasis in patients with advanced RB. Instead, it will reduce the DSS in group E eyes of RB.
ObjectiveTo evaluate efficacy and safety of early anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).MethodsThe patients who received PD in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected retrospectively, then were divided into the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, tumor property, coagulation function indexes such as prothrombin time (PT), PT activity (PTA), fibrinogen (FIB), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and D-dimer (DD), platelet (PLT), VTE, bleeding related complications etc. were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 103 patients underwent PD were included in this study, including 52 patients in the anticoagulant group and 51 patients in the non-anticoagulant group. There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, and preoperative coagulation function indexes, etc. between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of VTE in the anticoagulant group was lower than that in the non-anticoagulant group (13.5% versus 47.1%, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding between the anticoagulant group and the non-anticoagulant group (9.6% versus 7.8%, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the coagulation indexes between the two groups before operation and day 1 after operation (P>0.05). On day 8 after operation, the FIB and DD values of the anticoagulant group were significantly lower than those of the non-anticoagulant group (P values were 0.040 and 0.002, respectively). A comparison of different phases in the same group on coagulation indexes between day 8 and day 1 after surgery showed that there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05), the changes of all indexes were within the normal range.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that LMWH administered at 24 h after PD could decrease incidence of VTE and don’t increase risk of bleeding.
ObjectiveTo summarize the prevention and treatment of iatrogenic medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsThe relevant literature about iatrogenic MCL injuries in TKA was summarized, and the symptoms, causes, preventions, and treatments were analyzed.ResultsPreventions on the iatrogenic MCL injuries in TKA is significantly promoted. With the occurrence of MCL injuries, the femoral avulsion can be fixed with the screw and washer or the suture anchors; the tibial avulsion can be treated with the suture anchors fixation, bone staples fixation, or conservative treatment; the mid-substance laceration can be repaired directly; the autologous quadriceps tendon, semitendinosus tendon, or artificial ligament can be used for the patients with poor tissue conditions or obvious residual gap between the ligament ends; the use of implant with greater constraint can be the last alternative method.ConclusionNo consensus has been reached to the management of iatrogenic MCL injuries in TKA. Different solutions and strategies can be integrated and adopted flexibly by surgeons according to the specific situation.
With nearly four decades of progress in healthcare-associated infection prevention and control in China, the national quality control efforts in this field have been ongoing for the past ten years, advancing rapidly with significant achievements. Over the last decade, the team of infection control professionals involved in quality management and control in China has consistently expanded, accompanied by an enhancement of their skills. Management capabilities have steadily grown, and operational mechanisms have been continuously refined. As public hospitals transition into a new phase of high-quality development, emphasizing refined management models and intrinsic development of medical quality, it becomes crucial to further fortify the foundation and foster innovation in infection control work to ensure quality. This article provides an overview of the establishment and implementation of the National Center for Quality Control of Infection Prevention and Control, examines the current shortcomings and challenges in the field, and collectively explores the positioning and direction of the development of quality control efforts for infection prevention and control in China.
Patients with thoracic malignancy have a high incidence of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE), but its onset is insidious, often asymptomatic or atypical, and is easily overlooked. Early identification and standardized prevention of VTE can effectively reduce the risk of VTE. "Guideline for the prevention and management of perioperative venous thromboembolism in thoracic malignancies in China (2022 version)" has been officially released recently. This article closely follows the context, significance, core implications, and the impact of future VTE prevention in thoracic surgery. It is hoped that through our joint efforts, we can reduce the incidence of perioperative VTE and mortality of thoracic surgery, and strive to improve the long-term survival of patients with lung cancer and esophageal cancer.
ObjectiveBy comparing the epidemiological characteristics of the incidence and death of female breast cancer in China and the United States, the differences in prevention and screening strategies between China and the United States were analyzed to explore the prevention and control measures of female breast cancer in China. MethodsBased on the relevant data released by the Global Burden of Disease in 2020, the National Cancer Center of China, and the China Health Statistical Yearbook, the new cases and deaths of breast cancer in Chinese and American women in 2023 were estimated respectively, and the incidence, mortality and time trend of breast cancer in Chinese and American women were analyzed. ResultsIn China, 376 789 new cases of female breast cancer and 116 791 deaths were expected in 2023. In the United States, approximately 297 790 women were expected to be newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023, representing approximately 15.2% of new cancer cases. About 43 170 women died from breast cancer, accounting for about 7.1% of all cancer deaths. The incidence of breast cancer in women in the United States during the period 1975–2020 gradually increased and then stabilized; In contrast, the incidence of breast cancer among Chinese women increased year by year during the period 1990–2020. In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in Chinese women had increased more than those in the United States, and there was a large difference between urban and rural areas in China. ConclusionsBoth China and the United States face a large burden of female breast cancer, and the characteristics of female breast cancer in China are similar to those in the United States. To reduce the burden of breast cancer in Chinese women, further efforts should be made in various aspects, such as strengthening breast cancer education, raising public health awareness, improving diet structure, cultivating healthy lifestyle, increasing screening efforts, and improving medical level.
