ObjectiveTo analyse the efficacy and mechanism of Guizhi Fulingwan in regulating sex hormone disorders in rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MethodsThirty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group, a finasteride group (0.45 mg·kg-1·d-1), and low-dose and high-dose groups of Guizhi Fulingwan (0.135, 0.337 5 g∙kg-1∙d-1), with six in each group. The BPH model was prepared by subcutaneous injection of 3.5 mg∙kg-1∙d-1 testosterone propionate after debridement surgery in all groups except the sham group. The rats in the sham group and the model group were administered with an equal volume of saline by gavage, and the rest of the groups were administered with the corresponding medicinal solution by gavage for 35 days. Histopathology in rats was evaluated by prostate wet weight, volume, index, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The serum sex hormone levels of testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol (E2) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of the androgen receptor (AR) was detected by immunohistochemistry. The serum metabolism profiles of rats in the sham group, the model group, and the high-dose group of Guizhi Fulingwan were compared by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem Fourier transform mass spectrometry (UHPLCQ Exactive) to screen for metabolic markers and to obtain relevant metabolic pathways. ResultsCompared with those in the sham group, the wet weight, volume, index, serum sex hormone level, and AR protein expression of the prostate in the model group were all elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the histomorphology showed pathological changes. Compared with those in the model group, the wet weight, volume, index, serum sex hormone level, and AR protein expression of the prostate in the intervention groups showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05, P<0.01), and histopathology was improved. Serum metabolomics analysis obtained a total of 40 metabolic markers related to the intervention effect of Guizhi Fulingwan, such as dehydrosafynol, hyoscyamine, and lumichrome, which were involved in the pathways of autophagy, riboflavin metabolism, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling. ConclusionGuizhi Fulingwan can effectively regulate sex hormone disorders in BPH rats, and its mechanism may be related to autophagy, riboflavin metabolism, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

Objective To explore the characteristics of the bus explosion wounds and their first aid and treatment. Methods The conditions of the 87 victims of two bus explosions and their treatments were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of the 87 victims, 9 died on the spot, 3 died on their way to the hospital, 18 were treated in the outpatient department and discharged after observation for several days, and 57 received hospitalization treatment. All the patients were discharged with full recovery except that 2 with bone defects in 3 limbs had to receive secondary bone transplantation and 2 with tibial nerve injury had to receive secondary nerve plerosis. Conclusions The conditions of victims of the bus explosion are usually severe and complicated. The majority of the patients present compound wounds with high mortality. Pre hospital first aid and classification of the patients should be made properly before the patients are referred to the hospital in batches. Treatment should be arranged in order of severity and urgency.
