ObjectiveTo summarize recent advances, clinical applications, and future directions of the portal vein iodine-125 (125I) irradiation stent in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). MethodsLiterature published over the past 15 years concerning 125I irradiation stents for HCC with PVTT treatment was retrieved. Studies focusing on stent design, radiation dosimetry, combination treatment strategies, and prognostic outcomes were systematically reviewed and analyzed. ResultsThe portal vein 125I irradiation stent provides dual therapeutic benefits: mechanical recanalization of the obstructed portal vein and continuous intraluminal low-dose γ-radiation, achieving high-dose, long-duration localized irradiation. Clinical evidences indicate superior outcomes in maintaining portal vein patency, controlling tumor thrombus progression, and improving overall survival as compared with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or systemic therapy alone. Moreover, combination approaches with TACE or targeted or immunotherapy further enhance tumor control and survival benefits, making it an integral part of multidisciplinary HCC management. ConclusionsAs an innovative integration of interventional and brachytherapy techniques, the portal vein 125I irradiation stent shows promising efficacy and safety in treating HCC with PVTT. Future developments should emphasize biomaterial optimization, image-guided precision implantation, and individualized dosimetry, supported by multicenter randomized controlled trials to establish standardized therapeutic protocols and advance precision oncology.
Objective
To review the recent advances in the application of graphene oxide (GO) for bone tissue engineering.
Methods
The latest literature at home and abroad on the GO used in the bone regeneration and repair was reviewed, including general properties of GO, degradation performance, biocompatibility, and application in bone tissue engineering.
Results
GO has an abundance of oxygen-containing functionalities, high surface area, and good biocompatibility. In addition, it can promote stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Moreover, GO has many advantages in the construction of new composite scaffolds and improvement of the performance of traditional scaffolds.
Conclusion
GO has been a hot topic in the field of bone tissue engineering due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. And many problems still need to be solved.
Purpose
To identify the expression of alternatively spliced mRNA isoforms of the NMDA-R1 in the visual cortex of strabismic cats.
Methods
Two pai rs of normal and strabismic cats were used．The amblyopic cats had been made monocularly esotropic (by tenotomy) at the age of weeks，resulting in behavioral am blyopia．Animals were sacrificed about 6 months by intraperitoneal administration of Nembutal．Cryostat sections of fresh，frozen central visual cortex of the ats were cut to 20 micron thickness．A series of digoxygenin-labelled oligonucle otide probes basing on the human gene sequence were used for ISH．Control probes included sense oligonucleotides and short segment probes which were adjacent to ，but did not，span the splice junctions．A computer-assisted systematic morphometric ounting procedure was used to enumerate hybridising cells．
Results
The number of positive cells expressing NMDA-R1 mRNA in t he strabismic amblyopic cats was decreased，notably in layer IV of visual cortex (P＜0．0001)．The pattern of isoform expression varied between normal and strabismic amblyopic cats with decreased numbers of 1-a，1- b and 1-1 isoforms and apparently increased expression of 1-3 P ＜0．0001)，whereas no significant difference was found for the 1-2 and 1-4 isoforms (P＞0．05)．
Conclusion
Transcriptional inhibition of NMDA-R1 mRNA and of specifie isoforms may underlie the change in receptor expression．Alternatively，preferentialloss of neurones bearing particular NMDA-R1 isoforms and compensation with a proportional increase in cells expressing other isoforms may occurr during the critical period of visual plasticity．

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of early preoperative mobilization on the rehabilitation of the elderly patients with hip fractures after operation.MethodsThe clinical data of 16 elderly patients with hip fractures between February 2017 and April 2018 who met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 8 females, with an average age of 80.3 years (range, 69-90 years). There were 8 cases of intertrochanteric fracture and 8 cases of femoral neck fracture. The preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scored 2.94±0.43. There were 3 cases of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, 6 cases of essential hypertension, 5 cases of respiratory diseases, 3 cases of diabetes, and 2 cases of other system diseases. The time from injury to admission was 4 hours to 14 days with an average of 39.5 hours. On the day of admission or on the first day after admission, the patient started to exercise on the floor underwent analgesia treatment. And the patients were treated with closed reduction (9 cases) or artificial hip arthroplasty (7 cases). The time from admission to operation was 4 to 25 days, with an average of 7.4 days. At the time of admission, after the first ground movement before operation, on the second day after operation, and at last follow-up, the Barthel Index was used to assess the patients’ self-care ability, and Barthel effectiveness (BE) was calculated. The complications were observed and recorded during follow-up.ResultsAll 16 patients underwent operation successfully. The hospital stay was 8 to 24 days, with an average of 14.1 days. All patients were followed up 2.5-16.0 months with an average of 6.5 months. One patient developed postoperative pulmonary infection; the remaining patients had no surgical-related complications. No patient died during the follow-up. The Barthel Index scored 30.63±5.56 at admission, 53.13±9.50 after the first ground movement before operation, 60.63±6.09 on the second day after operation, and 96.25±4.84 at last follow-up. There were significant differences in Barthel Index scores between different time points (P<0.05). The BE was 0.23±0.06 after the first ground movement before operation, 0.30±0.04 on the second day after operation, and 0.66±0.06 at last follow-up. There were significant differences in BE between different time points (P<0.05).ConclusionFor elderly patients with hip fractures who have long waiting time before operation, early preoperative mobilization has a positive impact on patients’ activities of daily living.

Methods From August 2008 to July 2011, 30 patients with bradycardia arrhythmia underwent temporary cardiac pacemaker implantation surgery. We applied psychological nursing to the patients and made a good preparation of necessary equipments and medicine before operation. During the surgery, all required apparatuses and materials were ready at hand, and careful observation of conditions of the patients was carried out. After operation, the vital signs as well as the development of related symptoms in the patients were closely observed. Results There were 30 patients who had temporary cardiac pacemakers implanted. All got satisfying treatment effects except one who died from severe heart failure combined with inferior-wall myocardial infarction. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred, and the patients attained good postoperative recuperation before leaving hospital. Conclusion Temporary cardiac pacemaker is safe and effective in the emergency rescue of patients with severe arrhythmia, in temporary heart protection for patients undergoing renewal of permanent cardiac pacemaker, and in perioperative protection for patients with bradycardia. Good nursing before, during, and after the operation should be guaranteed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the negative emotions of patients before cardiac surgery in West China Hospital in order to analyze the related factors.MethodsThe Huaxi emotional-distress index (HEI), a screening tool for mood disorders developed by the Mental Health Center of West China Hospital, was used for preoperative psychological evaluation of 1 968 adult patients hospitalized in cardiac surgery from March 2016 to July 2014. There were 835 males and 1 133 females at age of 49±13 years.Results Fifty-one patients (2.6%) had negative emotions, among whom 6 patients were screened for suicide risk. After intervention, none of them had serious consequences caused by adverse emotions, such as automatic discharge from hospital, avoidance of surgery and suicide.ConclusionThis study found that most of the cardiac surgery patients in West China Hospital have good psychological status before surgery, and a few suffered from negative emotions. “Huaxi emotional-distress index” is simple, effective and worth promoting.
