Abstract
OBJECTIVE This investigation aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the paravertebral injection of recombinant human interferon-α2b in conjunction with high-voltage, long-term, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) in the dorsal root ganglion for the mitigation of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). METHODS This retrospective study included 84 individuals with acute PHN. The participants were divided into 3 groups. Group H was treated with interferon-α2b combined with high-voltage long-term PRF. Group C was treated with a combination of high-voltage, long-term PRF and a paravertebral injection (without recombinant human interferon-α2b), and group I was treated with interferon-α2b only. All the patients in the 3 groups were orally administered a 5-mg morphine hydrochloride quick-release tablet when a burst of pain occurred during treatment. The numerical rating scale for pain score, the interleukin-6 and galectin-3 levels, and the incidence of PHN were documented before and after therapy. RESULTS The pain intensity of all individuals decreased after therapy. Compared with group C, the numerical rating scale scores for group H were significantly reduced at 4, 8, and 12 weeks following therapy, and the PHN incidence was significantly lower. Compared with prior treatment, the recommended dosage of gabapentin capsules and immediate-release morphine hydrochloride tablets was reduced for group H. Compared with group C, the requirement for orally administrated gabapentin capsules and morphine hydrochloride tablets in group H was reduced significantly after treatment. No serious adverse reactions occurred in any of the 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS Within the context of treatment of acute PHN, the injection of interferon-α2b in conjunction with high-voltage, long-term application of PRF is more effective than PRF or the injection of interferon-α2b alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracranial nonsemilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia has significant clinical effects. However, the related risk factors for its recurrence have not been studied. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia after extracranial nonsemilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation, and to construct a recurrence prediction model. STUDY DESIGN This is a single-center, retrospective observational study. SETTING The study was conducted in the Department of Pain, Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing College, Jiaxing, People's Republic of China. METHODS A total of 76 patients with postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia admitted to the First Hospital of Jiaxing from July 2013 through October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with computed tomography-guided extracranial nonsemilunar segment radiofrequency therapy. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, the log-rank test was used, and the Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia recurrence after extracranial nosemilunar ganglia radiofrequency thermocoagulation; in addition, a recurrence prediction model was established. RESULTS Patients were followed-up for 12 months. A univariate analysis showed that age and disease duration are the factors affecting postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia recurrence after extracranial nonsemilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation (P < 0.05). A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that age and disease duration were independent influencing factors. The recurrence risk function model is expressed as follows. H (t) = h0exp (1.116 X1 + 1.340 X2), where X1 and X2 represent age and disease duration, respectively. The likelihood ratio of the model was tested, and the likelihood ratio was 195.776, showing statistical significance. LIMITATIONS We look forward to increasing the sample size in subsequent studies and exploring relevant conclusions in randomized controlled trials. CONCLUSION A short disease duration and young age can reduce the risk of recurrence after extracranial nonsemilunar ganglia radiofrequency thermocoagulation in patients with postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia. Our established recurrence prediction model can provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early intervention reduces the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Typical shingles are easy to diagnose; however, there is no clear diagnostic method for neuralgia symptoms manifested before the onset of the rash, which can easily cause misdiagnosis. This not only increases the patient's pain, medical expenses, and mental burden, but more importantly, delays the valuable time for early treatment of shingles, and increases the probability of complications and PHN. OBJECTIVE In this paper, the diagnostic methods of preherpetic neuralgia were summarized and analyzed, and the current challenges were put forward to provide directions for the early diagnosis of herpes zoster (HZ) in the future. METHODS PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) libraries were searched using the terms "herpes zoster," "before the blistering," "diagnosis," and "neuralgia." Clinical trials, reviews, and case reports were collected and reviewed. The period of literature search is from 1 January 1980 to 1 October 2022. RESULTS The early diagnosis of herpes zoster neuralgia can reduce misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and timely and effective intervention can significantly reduce the incidence of PHN. The body may possess a mechanism that limits the local breakthrough of the virus in the skin, causing blistering later than the onset of pain. Changes in the plasma proteins of patients with varicella-zoster virus shingles neuralgia may be used as an early diagnostic indicator in patients with HZ neuralgia before eruption. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of HZ neuralgia before eruption can facilitate timely targeted treatment, thereby reducing the incidence of PHN. Proteomic quantitative analysis and validation results can serve as a simple, micro, rapid, and accurate diagnostic method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography-guided percutaneous selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) of the trigeminal nerve is a novel, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, but the high recurrence rate after surgery might pose a serious problem. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors affecting the recurrence rate after RFT and to predict the recurrence rate and provide evidence for the early prediction. STUDY DESIGN A single-center retrospective study. SETTING This study was carried out in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University in China. METHODS One hundred thirty-nine patients were included in this study. The cumulative survival rates according to temperature and type of pain were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model was used to build the nomogram. Time-independent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis confirmed the signature's predictive capacity. A calibration curve was generated to judge the accuracy of absolute risk predictions, and Brier scores were used to quantitatively evaluate the calibration. Decision curve analysis was applied to comprehensively evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the model. A multiparameter nomogram was used to analyze the scores and predict the risk of relapse. RESULTS Three predictors were screened by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Pain grade (refit hazard ratio [HR]: 1.6807; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1963-2.3613) and type of pain (HR: 6.2802; 95% CI: 3.3705-11.7021) were considered to be risk factors affecting the recurrence rate after RFT, while temperature (HR: 0.5203; 95% CI: 0.2859-0.9468) was identified as a protective factor. The recurrence rate within 2 years in 85°C group was 51.09%, while that in 95°C group was 29.79%. The nomogram exhibited good discrimination and calibration. Compared with the preoperative period, all of the patients' postoperative Numeric Rating Scale scores (NRS-11)decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The main postoperative complication was numbness, with a gradual decrease in the Barrow Neurological Institute score over time. Autonomic symptoms and decrease of masticatory muscle function were the secondary postoperative complications, and no other adverse events were observed. Overall patient satisfaction at 2 years postoperatively was 7.83 ± 1.93. LIMITATIONS This study contains a small sample size from a single center and the conclusion of randomized controlled trials will be more convincing. CONCLUSIONS Increasing temperature can effectively reduce the recurrence rate after RF, and the combination of atypical pain and higher NRS-11s could be a risk factor increasing the recurrence rate. The novel nomogram exhibited favorable survival stratification accuracy and shown a great potential for screening high-risk groups and evaluating the risk of recurrence rate.

Abstract
Central post-stroke pain (CPSP) is a neuropathic pain syndrome that frequently occurs following cerebral stroke. The pathogenesis of CPSP is mainly due to thalamic injury caused by ischemia and hemorrhage. However, its underlying mechanism is far from clear. In the present study, a thalamic hemorrhage (TH) model was established in young male mice by microinjection of 0.075 U of type IV collagenase into the unilateral ventral posterior lateral nucleus and ventral posterior medial nucleus of the thalamus. We found that TH led to microglial pannexin (Panx)-1, a large-pore ion channel, opening within the thalamus accompanied with thalamic tissue injury, pain sensitivities, and neurological deficit, which were significantly prevented by either intraperitoneal injection of the Panx1 blocker carbenoxolone or intracerebroventricular perfusion of the inhibitory mimetic peptide 10Panx. However, inhibition of Panx1 has no additive effect on pain sensitivities upon pharmacological depletion of microglia. Mechanistically, we found that carbenoxolone alleviated TH-induced proinflammatory factors transcription, neuronal apoptosis, and neurite disassembly within the thalamus. In summary, we conclude that blocking of microglial Panx1 channels alleviates CPSP and neurological deficit through, at least in part, reducing neural damage mediated by the inflammatory response of thalamic microglia after TH. Targeting Panx1 might be a potential strategy in the treatment of CPSP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 gene deficiency on cerebellar morphology and function in the aged mice, and to explore the role of ALKBH5 in cerebellar degeneration. Methods: Western blot was performed to detect the protein level of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum of wild-type mice of various ages. The expression of NeuN, Calbindin-D28K, MAP2, GFAP and other proteins in the cerebella of middle-aged (12-month-old) and aged (18-month-old) wild-type mice and ALKBH5-/- mice was examined using immunohistochemistry. The balance beam test and gait analysis were performed to test the balance ability and motor coordination of the mice. Results: With aging of the mice, the expression of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum increased gradually in an age-dependent manner. In the aged mice, but not middle-aged mice, the body weight, whole brain weight and cerebellum weight of ALKBH5-/- mice decreased by 15%, 10% and 21%, respectively (P<0.05). The expression of ALKBH5 in the Purkinje cells was much higher than that in other types of neural cells. Correspondingly, ALKBH5-deficiency caused 40% reduction in the number of Purkinje cells, as well as the length and density of neuronal dendrites in the aged mice (P<0.01). In addition, the time for the aged ALKBH5-/- mice to pass the balance beam was 70% longer than that of the wild type mice of the same age, with unstable gaits (P<0.01). Conclusions: Gene deficiency of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 causes cerebellar atrophy, Purkinje neuron loss and damage in the aged mice. These changes eventually affect mice's motor coordination and balance ability. These results suggest that imbalanced RNA m6A methylation may lead to neurodegenerative lesions in the cerebellum of mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients with herpes zoster (HZ) experience an intermittent spontaneous, short-lived and severe pain, which is called breakthrough pain (BTP). The effect of analgesic drugs and invasive procedures is not significant. Therefore, treatment of HZ associated with BTP is challenging. Esketamine is a new N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, with enhanced analgesic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with low-dose esketamine for HZ associated with BTP. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of PCIA with low-dose esketamine for HZ associated with BTP. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective, observational study. SETTING The study was carried out in the Pain Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University in Jiaxing, China. METHODS The clinical data of HZ associated with BTP treated by PCIA with low-dose esketamine at the Pain Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University, between October 2015 to October 2021, were collected retrospectively. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) scores of rest pain (RP) and BTP, frequency of BTP, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were recorded and analyzed before treatment (T0) and on days one (T1) and 3 (T2), week one (T3), months one (T4), 3 (T5), and 6 (T6) after treatment. Adverse reactions during the treatment were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-five patients treated by PCIA with low-dose esketamine were included finally. Compared with T0, the NRS-11 scores of RP at T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The NRS-11 score of RP at T4 was significantly lower than that of T3 (P < 0.001), but there was no statistical difference between T5 and T4 (P > 0.05), the efficacy of esketamine in the treatment of RP was stable at one month after treatment. Likewise, compared with T0, the NRS-11 scores of BTP, frequency of BTP, and PSQI score decreased significantly at each time point after treatment (P < 0.05). These at T5 were significantly lower than T4 (P < 0.05), but there was no statistical difference between T6 and T5 (P > 0.05), the efficacy of esketamine was stable at 3 months after treatment. FBG also decreased significantly at each time point after treatment (P < 0.05), it tended to be normal and stable one month after treatment. All patients had mild symptoms of dizziness during treatment, and though a slight increase in noninvasive blood pressure (BP) was noted in all, the elevated BP did not exceed 30% of the baseline value. Four patients (16%) developed nausea without vomiting. There were no serious adverse reactions, such as respiratory depression. LIMITATIONS The nonrandomized, single-center, small sample size, retrospective design is a major limitation of this study. CONCLUSIONS PCIA with low-dose esketamine has a significant and long-term effect in the treatment of HZ associated with BTP. The RP was controlled, and the degree and frequency of BTP were significantly reduced after treatment, leading to improved quality of life. There were no serious adverse reactions worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gross extrathyroidal extension (gETE) into major vessel is considered the most advanced stage of the locally advanced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Surgical intervention may not benefit some patients at this disease stage or even result in intraoperative death due to massive hemorrhage; however, it is still considered an effective strategy for most cases. The lack of description for this challenging invasion in PTC warrants detailed characterization of its pattern, risk factors, optimal surgical method, and prognostic value. METHODS In total, 3127 patients diagnosed as having PTC were enrolled and categorized into two the following groups, namely the major vessel invasion (MVI) group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 3097). Data regarding clinicopathological and demographic characteristics, vascular invasion sites, postoperative complications, locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and surgical strategies were collected. Predictive disease-free survival (DFS) was also compared between the two groups. RESULTS MVI was independently associated with invasion of the esophageal extension, age < 55 years, tumor size > 1 cm, lateral lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (P = 0.00; P = 0.01; 0.05; P = 0.00; P = 0.00, respectively). The difference in the predictive DFS between the two groups was significant (P = 0.00), and the difference remained significant even in patients with ETE when compared with patients without ETE (P = 0.00). Additionally, predictive DFS did not differ significantly between patients who received vessel repairment and those who received vessel resection (P = 0.28). CONCLUSIONS This study first characterized the gross MVI pattern exhibited by PTC and the risk factors for MVI. Additionally, it demonstrated the DFS of patients with PTC. Extensive gross MVI significantly worsened the biological characteristics of PTC. Regardless of the high risk and difficulty of the operation, patients still benefited from the surgical intervention, and vessel repairment may be the optimal surgical strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous stylomastoid foramen puncture radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of hemifacial spasm has a significant clinical effect; however, related risk factors for recurrence have not been studied. OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of hemifacial spasm after radiofrequency ablation and construct a model for predicting recurrence. STUDY DESIGN This is a single-center retrospective observational study. SETTING The study was conducted at the Pain Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing College in Jiaxing, China. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 99 patients diagnosed with primary hemifacial spasm (HFS) admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University between August 2018 and December 2021. All patients underwent CT-guided percutaneous stylomastoid foramen radiofrequency ablation. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, log-rank test, and Cox proportional risk regression model were used to analyze the clinical factors that affect the recurrence of patients with HFS after radiofrequency ablation, and a recurrence prediction model was established. RESULTS Follow-up was 3-12 months; recurrence rates were 20.2%, 36.4%, and 71.9% at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that puncture approach, operation time, and facial paralysis level were factors influencing recurrence in patients with HFS after radiofrequency ablation (P < 0.05). The multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model showed that the operative time and facial paralysis grade were independent factors for recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in patients with facial spasms. The recurrence risk function model of patients with facial spasms after radiofrequency ablation was expressed as h(t) = h0exp(-0.619X1-2.589X2), where X1 and X2 represent the operation time and facial paralysis grade, respectively. The likelihood ratio of the model was statistically significant (chi squared = 55.769, P < 0.001). LIMITATIONS We look forward to increasing the sample size in follow-up studies and exploring relevant conclusions in randomized controlled trials. CONCLUSION Long operation times and high-grade facial paralysis can reduce the risk of recurrence in patients with facial spasms. The constructed recurrence prediction model could serve as a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a commonly used, minimally invasive method to treat herpes zoster neuralgia, but the intensity of standard voltage PRF is limited, resulting in patients not getting a lasting therapeutic effect. The therapeutic effect of repeated high-voltage long-duration PRF on acute herpes zoster neuralgia has not been studied. OBJECTIVE How to effectively reduce the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia is a serious challenge for clinicians. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of repeated high-voltage long-duration pulsed radiofrequency therapy for patients with acute herpetic neuralgia and its preventive effect on postherpetic neuralgia. STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective study. SETTING The study was carried out in the Pain Department of the affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing College in Jiaxing, China. METHODS Eighty-one patients with acute herpetic neuralgia, who underwent minimally invasive treatment in the Pain Department of Jiaxing First Hospital from January 2020 through December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 3 groups (n = 27 each group) according to treatment method: standard voltage PRF (group S); high-voltage long-duration PRF (group H), and repeated high-voltage long-duration PRF (group R). Pain was assessed according to Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) scores and analgesic drug doses were recorded. Blood galectin-3 (gal-3) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels among the 3 groups were compared before treatment and at one, 2, and 4 weeks posttreatment. The incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and complications in the 3 groups were recorded. RESULTS Pain intensity, blood levels of gal-3 and IL-6, and the dose of orally administered gabapentin capsules and morphine were reduced in all patients after treatment. Compared to group S, patients in group R exhibited lower NRS-11 scores, blood levels of gal-3 and IL-6, and dosages of oral gabapentin capsules after treatment. The incidence of PHN was significantly lower at weeks 4, 8, and 12. No adverse reactions occurred in the 3 groups posttreatment. LIMITATIONS Our small sample size is a limitation; we look forward to increasing the sample size in follow-up studies and exploring relevant conclusions in randomized controlled trials. CONCLUSION Repeated high-voltage long-duration PRF therapy was an effective treatment for acute herpetic neuralgia and may prevent the occurrence of PHN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with advanced tumors often suffer from spinal metastatic tumor pain. The current drugs are less effective and have side effects. The objective was to explore the efficacy of iodine-125 particle implantation in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, a total of 27 patients with bone metastatic tumors who could not receive surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy were analyzed. All patients received conventional treatment, with the visual analog scale (VAS) of >3 points, and the daily onset pain of >3 times. All patients received CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation to treat local painful lesions. VAS scores were recorded before treatment (T0) and 1 day (T1), 7 days (T2), 30 days (T3), 90 days (T4), and 180 days (T5) after treatment. Kaplan-Meier analytical method was used to calculate the local control rate (LCR) and survival rate (SR). RESULTS All patients successfully completed the CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation. There was no significant difference in VAS scores before and 1 day after surgery. However, compared with pre-operation, the VAS scores decreased at 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after surgery. The postoperative follow-up was 6-38 months, with a median of 16 months; the LCR at 1, 2, and 3 years after the follow-up were 87%, 51%, and 21%, respectively, and the SR was 84%, 43%, and 16%, respectively. Moreover, no serious adverse reactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS Iodine-125 particle implantation was effective in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain without serious complications, and hence, can be used clinically.

Abstract
Electroacupuncture (EA) is effective in various chronic pains. NF-κB and CXCL12 modulate the formation of chronic pain. Herein, we hypothesized that EA alleviates cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) through NF-κB/CXCL12 axis in midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG), which participates in "top-down" pain modulatory circuits. In order to filter the optimum EA frequency for CIBP treatment, 2, 100, or 2/100 Hz EA was set up. In addition, ipsilateral, contralateral, and bilateral EA groups were established to affirm the optimal EA scheme. Bilateral 2/100 Hz EA was considered as the optimal therapeutic scheme and was applied in a subsequent experiment. Western blotting along with immunofluorescence illustrated that CIBP induces a rapid and substantial increase in CXCL12 protein level and NF-κB phosphorylation in vlPAG from day 6 to day 12. Anti-CXCL12 neutralizing antibody and pAAV-U6-shRNA(CXCL12)-CMV-EGFP-WPRE in vlPAG remarkably improved the mechanical pain threshold of the hind paw in CIBP model relative to the control. EA inhibited the upregulation of pNF-κB and CXCL12 in vlPAG of CIBP. The recombinant CXCL12 and pAAV-CMV-CXCL12-EF1a-EGFP-3Xflag-WPRE reversed the abirritation of EA in the CIBP rat model. NF-κB phosphorylation mediated-CXCL12 expression contributed to CIBP allodynia, whereas EA suppressed NF-κB phosphorylation in CIBP. According to the above evidence, we conclude that bilateral 2/100 Hz EA is an optimal therapeutic scheme for CIBP. The abirritation mechanism of EA might reduce the expression of CXCL12 by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB, which might lead to the restraint of descending facilitation of CIBP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the method and clinical efficacy of awake CT-guided percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) as a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). DESIGN In this case-series, TN patients were treated with awake CT-guided PBC and followed for treatment efficacy and complications for 12 months. SETTING A single-center study. SUBJECTS 66 patients with medical treatment-refractory TN were recruited for the study. METHODS The procedure was performed under moderate sedation. A balloon catheter was inserted through a trocar needle to reach Meckel's cavity under CT-guidance. The position and optimal shape of the contrast-filled balloon was confirmed with CT 3-dimension reconstruction. Compression of the TG was considered completed when the patient notified operators about facial hypoesthesia or the resolution of TN symptoms. All patients were followed up monthly for 12 months to monitor treatment efficacy and complications. RESULTS The average TG compression time was 272±81 seconds, at which point the patients reported significant facial hypoesthesia comparing to the contralateral side or resolution of triggered pain in the affected area. All patients had resolution of TN symptoms for 6 months, with a 1-year recurrent rate of 13%. Overall safety profile is improved with the current technique. Side effects, such as hypoesthesia, and mastication weakness, were overall mild, and did not impact patients' quality-of-life. Some complications that were historically associated with PBC, such as diplopia and keratitis, were not present. CONCLUSIONS This new awake CT-guided PBC technique produces better outcomes than the traditional PBC under fluoroscopy-guidance and general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections are one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE patients have a higher risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection due to impaired immune defence. OBJECTIVES To investigate the demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with SLE and concomitant TB. METHODS Medical records of SLE patients with TB who were admitted to Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) Hospital in 1983-2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Age- and sex-matched SLE inpatients without TB were randomly selected as controls. Clinical and laboratory features and treatment were analysed and compared, and subjects were followed up to assess their outcome. RESULTS Of the 10 469 SLE inpatients, 249 (2.4%) were diagnosed with TB. Compared with controls, SLE/TB + patients exhibited higher frequency of prior haematologic, mucocutaneous and musculoskeletal system involvement, and prior treatment with potent glucocorticoid/immunosuppressive agents (GC/ISA). Arthritis and alopecia, positive T-SPOT.TB test and lymphocytopenia were more common in SLE/TB + patients. SLE/TB + patients with lupus before TB (SLE → TB) had higher risk of miliary TB (22.8%) and intracranial TB (16.5%) than SLE/TB + patients with lupus after TB (TB → SLE). SLE/TB + patients exhibited shorter long-term survival than SLE/TB- patients; those with poorer in-hospital outcomes had more severe lymphocytopenia and had received less treatment with ISAs. CONCLUSION Systemic lupus erythematosus patients treated vigorously with GC/ISA should be alerted of increased risk of TB infection, especially miliary and intracranial TB. Positive T-SPOT.TB and lymphocytopenia served as discriminatory variables between SLE/TB + and SLE/TB- patients. Lymphocytopenia was associated with poorer outcomes in SLE/TB + patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment consisting of extending chemotherapy (ECT) with capecitabine following capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) chemotherapy for stage 3 gastric carcinoma (GC) after D2 gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, we included 214 patients with stage 3 GC who underwent D2 gastrectomy between January 2012 and April 2014. The CAPOX regimen chemotherapy was administrated to all of the patients as adjuvant therapy. The CAPOX regimen consisted of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, in 2 divided doses for 14 d) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 given on Day 1), repeated every 21 d for 8 cycles. Following CAPOX chemotherapy, 102 of these patients received extending chemotherapy (the ECT group) with capecitabine, whereas 112 patients (the control group) received no ECT. The ECT consisted of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, in 2 divided doses for 14 d), repeated every 21 d for 8 cycles at most. The chemotherapy was discontinued if unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurred or upon the request of the patient. All cases were followed up, and overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and toxicities were compared. RESULTS The ECT group exhibited a distinctly higher 5-year OS (p=0.0468) and RFS (p=0.0483) than those of the control group. The incidence of hand-foot syndrome was markedly greater in the ECT group (p=0.0043). No toxicity-related death occurred. CONCLUSIONS Extending chemotherapy with capecitabine following the CAPOX regimen chemotherapy provides significant survival benefit for stage 3 GC after D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the correlation factors of contralateral central lymph node metastasis in unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: The clinical data of patients with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node dissection and ipsilateral cervical lymph node dissection from June 2016 to June 2018 at Department of Thyroid Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 317 patients, including 87 males and 230 females, aged (41.4±12.1) years (range: 16 to 75 years), were enrolled in this study. The risk factors of contralateral central lymph node metastasis were analyzed by χ2 test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: There were 116, 69, 269, and 181 cases of pretracheal lymph node, prelaryngeal lymph node, ipsilateral central lymph node and contralateral central lymph node metastasis, respectively, and 16 cases of skipping metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that contralateral central lymph node metastasis was associated with gender, maximum tumor diameter, capsule invasion, pretracheal lymph node metastasis, prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis, and ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that male (rs=0.162, P=0.004), maximum tumor diameter>10 mm (rs=0.184, P=0.001), capsule invasion (rs=0.135, P=0.016), pretracheal lymph node metastasis (rs=0.394, P<0.01), prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis (rs=0.272, P<0.01) and ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (rs=0.203, P<0.01) were independent correlation factors for contralateral central lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: For patients with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma with ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis, bilateral central lymph node dissection should be considered if male, tumor diameter>10 mm, capsule invasion, pretracheal lymph node metastasis, prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis, or ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily establish the multidisciplinary cooperative vaccination management model for pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases, and to explore its feasibility. Methods: In this prospective study a total of 150 children with hematological and oncological diseases visited immunization clinic of Shanghai Children's Medical Center from March 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study. After establishing the multidisciplinary team, designing vaccination plan, staff training, implementation and quality control, a multidisciplinary immunization clinic was set up and the vaccination plan were implemented. The implementation rate of vaccination immunization, the HBsAb level and serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) level before and after treatment, the HBsAb level and serum immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG) levels of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) before and 6 months after immunization, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were assessed prospectively. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the differences of antibody level. Results: A total of 124 cases had been vaccinated as planned, with a coverage rate of 82.7%. Among these cases, the difference of HBsAb positive rate before and after treatment was significant (62.9% (78/124) vs.13.7% (17/124), χ²= 63.489, P<0.01). In 64 cases that completed three doses of hepatitis B immunization, there was a significant difference in HBsAb positive rate before and 6 months after immunization (6.3% (4/64) vs. 98.4% (63/64), P<0.01). In 40 cases that completed MMR immunization, the IgG antibody positive rate for measles (22.5% (9/40) vs. 82.5% (33/40), χ²=31.746,P<0.01), mumps (22.5% (9/40) vs.82.5% (33/40), χ²=28.872,P<0.01), rubella (25.0% (10/40) vs.62.5% (25/40), χ²=11.429, P<0.01) before and 6 months after immunization were significantly different. Of the 421 doses of immunization, 25 (5.9%) doses reported controlled systemic or local adverse event. Conclusions: The immunization of pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases is of great importance. The newly-developed multidisciplinary cooperation immunization model for Chinese children with hematological and oncological diseases is feasible, and the immunization protocol is safe and has a certain effect.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) pulsed radiofrequency combined with paravertebral injection of recombinant human interferon-α2b in the treatment of patients with acute herpes zoster neuralgia and its preventive effectiveness on postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Methods A retrospective analysis of 62 patients with acute herpes zoster neuralgia was implemented. All patients were divided into two groups: pulsed radiofrequency paraspinal injection of recombinant human interferon-α2b (group P); pulsed radiofrequency combined with paravertebral injection of saline (group C). The numerical rating scales (NRS) scores were used for pain assessment, and the dose of the analgesic drug was recorded. Gal-3 and IL-6 levels in blood were compared between the two groups before treatment and at 1 week, 2, and 4 weeks after treatment. The incidence of PHN was recorded in both groups. Results The pain intensity, the levels of Gal-3 and IL-6 in blood and the dose of oral administration of gabapentin capsules and morphine were reduced in all patients after treatment. Compared with group C, patients in group P had lower NRS scores, blood levels of Gal-3 and IL-6, and dosages of oral gabapentin capsules and morphine hydrochloride immediate-release tablets after treatment. The incidence of PHN was significantly lower at 8 and 12 weeks. Conclusion DRG pulsed radiofrequency combined with paravertebral injection of recombinant human interferon-α2b for acute stage herpes zoster neuralgia is a more effective treatment, and can effectively prevent the incidence rate of PHN.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) titers in children after completion of chemotherapy and (or) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), evaluate the efficacy and safety of the current hepatitis B re-vaccination schedule. Methods: A total of 239 children who completed their chemotherapy and (or) HSCT and visited the vaccination clinic of Shanghai Children's Medical Center from March 2017 to July 2019 were enrolled in this study. According to the previous diseases, patients were divided into leukemia group (85 cases), lymphoma group (30 cases), solid tumor group (49 cases) and non-malignant hematological disease group (75 cases). According to the treatment of previous diseases, the patients were divided into chemotherapy group (126 cases), HSCT group (89 cases) and chemotherapy plus HSCT group (24 cases). HBsAb titers were assessed both at the time of diagnosis and after completion of treatment and some children who were HBsAb seronegative were re-vaccinated with 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were monitored. HBsAb titers were measured again one month after the completion of inoculation. HBsAb titers were defined as negative at levels <10 U/L and positive at ≥ 10 U/L. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the difference of negative conversion rate of hepatitis B antibody between groups, and Logistic regression was used to explore the risk factors of hepatitis B antibody negative conversion. Results: Among 239 patients, there were 143 males and 96 females. At the time of diagnosis, 179 patients (74.9%) were HBsAb seropositive and 60 patients (25.1%) were HBsAb seronegative. After completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT, 133 of 179 children with HBsAb seropositive (74.3%) at diagnosis became HBsAb seronegative. Univariate analysis showed significant differences at the negative conversion rates of HBsAb between different disease groups (χ²=10.211,P=0.015), different treatments groups (χ²=14.899,P<0.01) and different HBsAb titers groups before treatment (χ²=32.117,P<0.01). Logistic regression showed that HSCT (chemotherapy group as the reference, odds ratio (OR)=2.999, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.276-7.050,P=0.012) and HBsAb titers<328.2 U/L before treatment (HBsAb titers≥328.2 U/L group as the reference, OR=6.397, 95% CI3.159-12.954,P<0.01) were risk factors for negative conversion of HBsAb. Among 48 patients whose HBsAb was seronegative after completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT and re-vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, 47 (97.9%) cases became HBsAb seropositivie. No serious adverse effects or complications were reported among these patients. Conclusions: After completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT, most children completely lose their protective humoral immunity against hepatitis B. Hepatitis B re-vaccination schedule can be efficiently and safely applied in those patients.

Abstract
Purpose In CT-guided dorsal root ganglion puncture, especially T1–T3, it is often difficult to reach the target due to obstruction of the lamina, transverse process, and ribs. Therefore, a safe and effective puncture method with high success rate is urgently needed to guide us in our clinical work. Patients and Methods A total of 44 patients with dorsal root ganglion underwent pulsed radiofrequency therapy for pain T1–T3 herpes zoster neuralgia at the pain department of Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient underwent the same surgical method. The patient’s operation time, CT filming times, nerve electrophysiological tests, the NRS scores before and after operation at one, four, eight, and 12 weeks, Pittsburgh Sleep Disorder Index (PSQI), dosage of gabapentin capsules and tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, surgical complications and incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) were recorded. Results The success rate of 44 patients who underwent puncturing of the costal transverse process to T1 target was 88.46%, to T2 target was 90.68%, and to T3 target was 90.68%, respectively. The NRS score of patients before surgery was 5.48±0.59, and those at one, four, eight, and 12 weeks after surgery were 3 (3,3), 1 (1,2), 0 (0, 1), and 0 (0, 0). The difference of NRS score between preoperation and postoperation is statistically significant. No intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred. Two patients developed PHN after standard treatment, and the incidence of it was 4.55%. Conclusion CT-guided puncturing of the costal transverse process in the dorsal root ganglion of patients who underwent pulsed radiofrequency treatment of T1–T3 herpes zoster neuralgia showed a high success rate and is considered to be safe and effective.

Abstract
RATIONALE Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy of dorsal root ganglion is effective in treating acute stage shingles neuralgia of chest and back. Herein, a case of herpetic neuralgia with difficult puncture of dorsal root ganglion of upper thoracic segment is report. PATIENT CONCERNS A 62-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital for 2 days for herpes zoster with paroxysmal needle-like pain in the left chest and back. The skin lesion area of herpes zoster and the superficial location of neuralgia was left T2-4, and visual analog scale (VAS) score was 6 points. DIAGNOSIS Two days ago, the patient had paroxysmal needle-like pain in the left chest and back, without herpes, and was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. Chest pain and myocardial infarction were considered; however, troponin, myocardial enzyme spectrum, and blood amylase were in the normal range. On the evening of the same day, the patient presented green bean-sized blisters distributed in clusters along the left T2-4 nerve as a banded pattern. Thus, the patient was diagnosed as shingles. INTERVENTION Oral gabapentin capsules, varaciclovir tablets, mecobalamine tablets, and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets were administered, and topical aciclovir cream was applied. The VAS score after the above treatment was 5 points. The patient underwent computed tomography-guided PRF surgery on the dorsal root ganglion. OUTCOME Postoperative pain was relieved. One month post-surgery, no oral analgesic drugs were administered. The VAS score was 1 point, and the pain completely disappeared at 3 months post-surgery. CONCLUSIONS Herpes zoster is most common in the chest and back. The PRF of dorsal root ganglion cannot access the target by conventional puncture, and can be completed by thoracic sympathetic nerve radiofrequency puncture path.

Abstract
The nodal-line semimetals have attracted immense interest due to the unique electronic structures such as the linear dispersion and the vanishing density of states as the Fermi energy approaching the nodes. Here, we report temperature-dependent transport and scanning tunneling microscopy (spectroscopy) [STM(S)] measurements on nodal-line semimetal ZrSiSe. Our experimental results and theoretical analyses consistently demonstrate that the temperature induces Lifshitz transitions at 80 and 106 K in ZrSiSe, which results in the transport anomalies at the same temperatures. More strikingly, we observe a V-shaped dip structure around Fermi energy from the STS spectrum at low temperature, which can be attributed to co-effect of the spin-orbit coupling and excitonic instability. Our observations indicate the correlation interaction may play an important role in ZrSiSe, which owns the quasi-two-dimensional electronic structures.

Abstract
Background:The association between IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and malignancies is unclear. No epidemiological data for malignancies in Chinese IgG4-RD patients is available. It is also important to know the risk factors and prognosis for IgG4-RD patients harboring malignancies.Objectives:To investigate the incidence, related factors and prognosis of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) with malignancies in the Chinese cohort.Table 1.Baseline characteristic of IgG4-RD patients with malignancyPatientSexAgeAge at diagnosis of IgG4-RDAge at diagnosis of malignancySerum IgG4(g/L)Organs involvements of IgG4-RD(*Organ with biopsy)Sites of malignancyP1F5958541499Parotid gland*, salivary glandBreast cancerP2M74666810402Pancreas, bile duct, retroperitoneal fibrosis, kidney, prostate, lymph nodesRectal cancerP3M4642402630Lacrimal gland, parotid glandLipoblastomaP4M7068645780Pancreas, bile duct, lung, prostate, lymph nodesThyroid carcinomaP5F62616111600Pancreas, bile duct, salivary gland*, periaortitis, lymph nodes, pituitaryThyroid carcinomaP6M7268683490Pancreas, bile duct, lymph nodesRectal cancerP7M6058582410Pancreas, bile duct, lymph nodesRenal cancerP8M6863683520Pancreas, bile duct, retroperitoneal fibrosis, lung, kidney, artery, lymph nodesRectal cancerP9M36303512400Pancreas, bile ductSkin cancerP10M52495210000Pancreas, parotid gland*, lacrimal gland, lung, prostate, lymph nodesThyroid carcinomaP11F70686917300Parotid gland, lacrimal gland, salivary gland, sinusLung cancerP12M82797958000Pancreas, lacrimal gland*Colon cancerP13F50494514300Uterus*, ovaryOvarian carcinomaP14F52465010000Parotid gland*, lacrimal glandBreast cancerP15F60555712500Pancreas, parotid gland, lacrimal gland, lymph nodes, sinusLymphomaP16M4237407490Lung*, lymph nodesRenal cancerP17M716869415Pancreas*, bile ductProstate cancerTable 2.Related factors for malignancies in patients with IgG4-RDVariablesUnivariate analysisMultivariate analysisUnivariate OR (95%Cl)P-valueMultivariate OR (95%Cl)P-valueHead and Neck involvement0.304 (0.097- 0.952)0.0410.604 (0.152-2.401)0.474Autoimmune pancreatitis5.359 (1.651-17.393)0.0056.230 (1.559-24.907)0.010Eosinophilia0.117 (0.014-0.966)0.0460.094 (0.010-0.883)0.039Figure 1.Standardized incidence ratios of malignancies in patients with IgG4-RD from different studies.Methods:We prospectively analyzed the IgG4-RD patients recruited in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2011 to August 2018 and identified patients diagnosed with IgG4-RD complicating malignancies. Data regarding demographics, clinical features, treatment and prognosis of IgG4-RD patients complicating malignancies were collected and compared to those of age- and sex-matched controls.Results:Among the 587 Chinese patients with IgG4-RD, 17 malignancies were identified. Ten of them developed malignancy after the diagnosis of IgG4-RD, given a standard incidence ratio (SIR) of 2.78 (95%CI 1.33-5.12). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that autoimmune pancreatitis (OR= 6.230, 95%CI 1.559-24.907, p=0.010) was positively associated with malignancy, whereas eosinophilia (OR= 0.094, 95%CI 0.010-0.883, p=0.039) was negatively related with malignancies. During a median follow-up period of 61.4±26.4 months, all patients with IgG4-RD and malignancies survived.Conclusion:An increased incidence of malignancy was found in Chinese IgG4-RD cohort. Autoimmune pancreatitis is a potential risk factor, whereas eosinophilia is a possible protective factor for complicating malignancies.References:[1] Wallace, Z. S.,et al.

Abstract
Bone cancer pain (BCP) is an intractable clinical problem, and lacked effective drugs for treating it. Recent research showed that several chemokines in the spinal cord are involved in the pathogenesis of BCP. In this study, the antinociceptive effects of liquiritin, which is an active component extracted from Glycyrrhizae Radix, were tested and the underlying mechanisms targeting spinal dorsal horn (SDH) were investigated. The BCP group displayed a significant decrease in the mechanical withdrawal threshold on days 6, 12, and 18 when compared with sham groups. Intrathecal administration of different doses of liquiritin alleviated mechanical allodynia in BCP rats. The results of immunofluorescent staining and western blotting showed that liquiritin inhibited BCP-induced activation of astrocytes in the spinal cord. Moreover, intrathecal administration of liquiritin effectively inhibited the activation of CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling pathway and production of IL-1β and IL-17 in BCP rats. In astroglial-enriched cultures, Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) elicited the release of chemokine CXCL1, and the release was decreased in a dose-dependent manner by liquiritin. In primary neurons, liquiritin indirectly reduced the increase of CXCR2 by astroglial-enriched-conditioned medium but not directly on the CXCR2 target site. These results suggested that liquiritin effectively attenuated BCP in rats by inhibiting the activation of spinal astrocytic CXCL1 and neuronal CXCR2 pathway. These findings provided evidence regarding the the antinociceptive effect of liquiritin on BCP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between donor chimerism and relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: The clinical data of 105 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent allo-HSCT and recurrence-free survival>90 days from January 2010 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The bone marrow samples were collected at 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 270, 360 days after transplantation. Donor chimerism was detected by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -PCR. Results: Of the 105 patients, 43 cases were male and 62 cases were female, with a median age of 38 (16-60) years. Till April 2019, the median follow-up was 843 (94-3 261) days. Ninety days after transplantation, 18 cases relapsed, 33 cases died, and 72 cases survived. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (66.8±5.1) %, and the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was (65.1±5.0) %. Pre-transplant disease status, pre-transplant minimal residual disease (MRD) , and 90 day post-transplantation chimerism were independent risk factors related to RFS. The risk of recurrence was significantly increased in patients with a donor chimerism rate ≤97.24% at 90 days after transplantation[HR=6.921 (95%CI 2.669-17.950) , P<0.001], which was considered as a sign of early relapse. Conclusion: SNP-PCR is an applicable method for detecting donor chimerism in patients after allo-HSCT. Chimerism rate equal or less than 97.24% at 90 days after transplantation predicts a higher risk of relapse.

Abstract
Background: The computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the maxillary nerve (V2) via foramen rotundum (FR) approach has been reported to offer the highest rates of pain relief in V2 trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, the access to FR may be obstructed by the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. Objectives: We report on an optimized CT-guided percutaneous infrazygomatic of maxillary nerve through the foramen rotundum (FR) to treat V2 trigeminal neuralgia (TN) using personalized RFA needles based on patient’s individual CT-image parameters. Patients and methods: 176 patients with isolated V2 TN were included. If the entry of the percutaneous needle into the FR canal was blocked by the greater wing of the sphenoid bone, straight RFA needles was bent at the tip with an angle α (the angle between the straight line from the external opening of FR to the skin entry point and the long axis of the FR canal). The maxillary nerve RFA was performed after confirmation with electrophysiological tests. Pain relief in the V2 territory and TN recurrence rate were followed for up to 60 months. Results: Fifty-two patients (29.55%) required needle bending. The maxillary nerve thermal RFA resulted in analgesia in the V2 territory without affecting the V1 or V3 zone. TN recurrence rate at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months was 2.55%, 7.64%, 17.20%, 24.41%, 30.28% and 33.77%, respectively. Conclusion: The personalized needle modification technique for maxillary nerve RFA through FR is safe and effective to treat V2 TN.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relations of foramen rotundum structure direction and surrounding structure systematically in order to choose the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: A total of 122 patients with V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia for radiofrequency thermocoagulation were enrolled from August 2012 to May 2017 at the First Hospital of Jiaxing. CT scan images were observed retrospectively, to find the inside and outside of the foramen rotundum. The direction of foramen rotundum were recorded and the best approach of puncturing were analyzed. Results: The images were divided into four quadrants with the semi - coronal CT scan plane of the lower margin of the zygomatic arch and the outer edge of foramen rotundum for horizontal axis, and the sagittal plane for the vertical axis. In 122 cases, foramen rotundum direction in outer upper quadrant were 77 cases(63.1%), and in outer under quadrant were 22 cases(18.0%), and in inner upper quadrant were 19 cases(15.6%), and in inner under quadrant were 4 cases(3.3%). Conclusion: The most common foramen rotundum direction is in outer upper quadrant, so the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia is the upper side against zygomatic and the inner side against the wall of maxillary sinus.

Abstract
Pelvic tumors can be both complicated and challenging, and computed tomography (CT) has played an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of these conditions. Cinematic rendering (CR) is a new method of 3D imaging using CT volumetric data. Unlike traditional 3D methods, CR uses the global illumination model to produce high-definition surface details and shadow effects to generate photorealistic images. In this pictorial review, a series of primary pelvic tumor cases are presented to demonstrate the potential value of CR relative to conventional volume rendering (VR). This technique holds great potential in disease diagnosis, preoperative planning, medical education and patient communication.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the ideal procedure of excision and repair for giant desmoid in the abdominal wall and long-termed follow-up results. Methods: Clinical and follow-up data of 24 patients with giant desmoid in the abdominal wall underwent radical removal and immediate abdominal wall reconstruction in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Center of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital of People's Liberation Army General Hospital from October 2006 to October 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-one female patients with the mean age of 34.6 years and 3 male patients with the mean age of 42.6 years were recruited. The minimal diameter of these tumors was 15 cm, and the maximal diameter was from xiphoid bone to pubic symphysis. Results: All of desmoids were removed radically and proved by the rapid pathologic examination. The size of abdominal wall defect after desmoids removal were 483 (21 cm×23 cm) to 2 100 cm(2) (35 cm×60 cm), averaged 945 cm(2) (27 cm×35 cm). All of defects were repaired with compound synthetic prosthesis using bridging procedure. Twenty-one patients were recovered smoothly and got primary wound healing. Three patients had prosthesis infected during 1 month postoperatively and 1 patient recovered with conservative therapy, the other 2 patients underwent infected prosthesis removal at 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively, respectively. Twenty-two patients were followed up with the period of 12 to 121 months and the median period was 63 months. No marginal neoplasm recurrence, incisional hernia, and abdominal wall bulge happened. Eight patients developped fresh desmoids in the abdominal cavity or in the back. Two patients died because of intestinal obstruction due to desmoid infiltration, and the other 6 patients still survived along with stable desmoids. Conclusions: Radical removal for patients with giant desmoid in the abdominal wall is an ideal therapeutic method, and compound synthetic patch can be used to repair huge abdominal wall defect, even the defect compromised all of abdominal wall.

The difference was statistically significant (t=-5.23, -2.33, -19.80, -14.68, 3.31, 3.48, all P<0.01). Before surgery, PSV of the RA and UA of the patients were (46.38±15.12) cm/s, (45.60±14.88) cm/s , respectively, after surgery, PSV of the RA and UA were (46.93±16.02) cm/s, (46.19±15.30) cm/s , respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (t=-0.23, -1.39, all P>0.05). Before surgery, T, SpO(2) and PI of the patients were(29.7±1.04) ℃, (93.24±2.23) %, (1.11±0.13) % , respectively, after surgery, T, SpO(2) and PI of the patients were (35.09±1.21) ℃, (98.10±1.34) %, (4.77±1.22)% , respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t=-20.174, -1.140, -23.601, all P<0.05). The symptoms of hyperhidrosis of the patients were disappeared immediately after the surgery in both hands. All of the patients were cured within 3 months and there was no severe complications. Conclusion: Thoracic sympathetic block increase Diameters and EDV but decrease RI of the radial and ulnar arteries of the patients with PH and increase the palms temperature. Artery diameters, EDV, and RI measured by ultrasound can be used as parameters to evaluate the effect of thoracic sympathetic block in patients with PH. It's objective, non-invasive and convenient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A national survey on critical values in hematology of China laboratories was conducted to determine the current practice and assess the quality indicators so as to obtain a quality improvement. METHODS Laboratories participating were asked to submit the general information, the practice of critical value reporting, and the status of timeliness of critical value reporting. RESULTS A total of 862 laboratories submitted the results. The majority of participants have included white blood cell count, blood platelet count, hemoglobin, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time in their critical value lists. Many sources are used for establishing a critical value policy, and some of the laboratories consult with clinicians. The unreported critical value rate, late critical value reporting rate, and clinically unacknowledged rate in China are relatively low, and the median of critical value reporting time is 8-9 minutes. CONCLUSION There exists a wide variety for critical value reporting in hematology in China. Laboratories should establish a policy of critical value reporting suited for their own situations and consult with clinicians to set critical value lists. Critical values are generally reported in a timely manner in China, but some measures should be taken to further improve the timeliness of critical value reporting.

Abstract
This paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of 2 cases of acute schistosomiasis with ectopic lesion in the lung. It suggests that in schistosomiasis endemic areas, if the patients with the contact history of infested water have the symptom of fever, while the effects of anti-infection and the corresponding treatments are not good, the clinician should consider acute schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Essentials Predicting the occurrence of portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis (PSMVT) is difficult. We studied 72 patients with acute pancreatitis. Artificial neural networks modeling was more accurate than logistic regression in predicting PSMVT. Additional predictive factors may be incorporated into artificial neural networks. SUMMARY Objective To construct and validate artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the occurrence of portosplenomesenteric venous thrombosis (PSMVT) and compare the predictive ability of the ANNs with that of logistic regression. Methods The ANNs and logistic regression modeling were constructed using simple clinical and laboratory data of 72 acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. The ANNs and logistic modeling were first trained on 48 randomly chosen patients and validated on the remaining 24 patients. The accuracy and the performance characteristics were compared between these two approaches by SPSS17.0 software. Results The training set and validation set did not differ on any of the 11 variables. After training, the back propagation network training error converged to 1 × 10-20 , and it retained excellent pattern recognition ability. When the ANNs model was applied to the validation set, it revealed a sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 85.7%, a positive predictive value of 77.6% and negative predictive value of 90.7%. The accuracy was 83.3%. Differences could be found between ANNs modeling and logistic regression modeling in these parameters (10.0% [95% CI, -14.3 to 34.3%], 14.3% [95% CI, -8.6 to 37.2%], 15.7% [95% CI, -9.9 to 41.3%], 11.8% [95% CI, -8.2 to 31.8%], 22.6% [95% CI, -1.9 to 47.1%], respectively). When ANNs modeling was used to identify PSMVT, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.849 (95% CI, 0.807-0.901), which demonstrated better overall properties than logistic regression modeling (AUC = 0.716) (95% CI, 0.679-0.761). Conclusions ANNs modeling was a more accurate tool than logistic regression in predicting the occurrence of PSMVT following AP. More clinical factors or biomarkers may be incorporated into ANNs modeling to improve its predictive ability.

Abstract
5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) is currently acknowledged as a demethylation drug, and causes a certain degree of demethylation in a variety of cancer cells, including pancreatic cancer cells. Emodin, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is an effective monomer extracted from rhubarb and has been reported to exhibit antitumor activity in different manners in pancreatic cancer. In the present study, we examined whether emodin caused demethylation and increased the demethylation of three tumor-suppressor genes P16, RASSF1A and ppENK with a high degree of methylation in pancreatic cancer when combined with 5-Aza-CdR. Our research showed that emodin inhibited the growth of pancreatic cancer Panc-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Dot-blot results showed that emodin combined with 5-Aza-CdR significantly suppressed the expression of genome 5mC in PANC-1 cells. In order to verify the effect of methylation, methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR (BSP) combined with TA were selected for the cloning and sequencing. Results of MSP and BSP confirmed that emodin caused faint demethylation, and 5-Aza-CdR had a certain degree of demethylation. When emodin was combined with 5-Aza-CdR, the demethylation was more significant. At the same time, fluorescent quantitative PCR and western blot analysis results confirmed that when emodin was combined with 5-Aza-CdR, the expression levels of P16, RASSF1A and ppENK were increased more significantly compared to either treatment alone. In contrast, the expression levels of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and DNMT3a were more significantly reduced with the combination treatment than the control or either agent alone, further proving that emodin in combination with 5-Aza-CdR enhanced the demethylation effect of 5-Aza-CdR by reducing the expression of methyltransferases. In conclusion, the present study confirmed that emodin in combination with 5-Aza-CdR enhanced the demethylation by 5-Aza-CdR of tumor-suppressor genes p16, RASSF1A and ppENK by reducing the expression of methyltransferases DNMT1 and DNMT3a.

Abstract
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to identify altered intrinsic local neural activities and global networks of tinnitus patients. In this study, functional connectivity density (FCD) mapping, a newly developed voxelwise data-driven method based on fMRI, was applied for the first time to measure the functional reorganization pattern in thirty-two unilateral pulsatile tinnitus (PT) patients in the early stage of disease (less than 48 months). FCD analysis was employed to compute short-range and long-range FCD values. A correlation analysis with clinical variables was also performed. Compared with normal controls, PT patients showed significantly increased short-range FCD, mainly in the precuneus (PCu), bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and middle occipital gyrus (MOG), and increased long-range FCD in the PCu, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and bilateral middle frontal gyrus (MFG). In addition, correlation analysis showed positive correlations between PT duration and short-range FCD values in the right MOG. Positive correlations were also found between the disease duration and the long-range FCD value in the PCC. The increased short-/long-range FCD in bilateral dorsal visual areas indicated that the enhanced pathway between the auditory cortex and bilateral dorsal visual areas may have activated the "auditory occipital activations" (AOAs) pathway. The bilaterally altered FCD values in the dorsal visual areas reflected the cooperation of different brain areas. This study is a foundation of the connectivity research in PT patients. Our work may advance the understanding of the disrupted neural network of patients with PT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of devascularization and shunt on patients with portal hypertension. METHODS Relevant studies compared devascularization and shunt for the treatment of portal hypertension were identified searching the PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) database and Cochrane Trial Register searches until December 2013. Data of interest for devascularization and shunt including postoperative recurrent bleeding, postoperative hepatic encephalopathy,ascites, operative mortality rate, and long term survival rate were subjected to meta-analysis. RESULTS Eleven studies were included in the study, the results of the meta-analysis showed that all eleven clinical studies demonstrated a significantly higher postoperative recurrent bleeding rate with devascularization group than with shunt group (Odds Ratio =2.14, 95% CI =(1.42, 3.21), P = 0.0003),the rate of hepatic encephalopathy in the devascularization group was significantly lower compared with the shunt group (Odds Ratio =0.56, 95% CI =(0.38, 0.82), P = 0.003); Our meta-analysis of three clinical studies revealed that the reduction of ascites in the devascularization group was significantly less than the shunt groups (Odds Ratio =0.48, 95% CI =(0.26, 0.89), P = 0.02), the operative mortality rate was not significantly different between the devascularization group than for shunt group (Odds Ratio =1.54, 95% CI = (0.91,2.63), P = 0.11). And the long-term survival rate was not significantly different between the devascularization and shunt groups (Odds=1.13, ratio, 95% CI =(0.64, 1.99), P = 0.68). CONCLUSIONS Devascularization and shunt have different advantages and disadvantages respectively which reflected in postoperative complications and long term survival rate.
