Modernization of theories of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a key issue for the development of Chinese medicine. As TCM concepts are too vague and lack precise definition, it is difficult to test those theories by modern technologies. Methods of TCM classification are not accepted by Western medicine so far. Because of the diversity and complexity of Chinese herbal medicines, the molecules of Chinese herbal medicines are difficult to be separated, and efficacy is difficult to be verified and classified by biological and chemical methods. In order to verify the scientificity of TCM classification, molecular properties can be studied by their spectrum, and be combined with latent semantic analysis technology and weighting method which are widely used in the Internet search engine. 48 Chinese herbal medicines belonging to four kinds of Chinese herbal medicines:nourishing yin, tonifying yang, invigorating qi, and enriching blood, are analyzed through NIRS, and the results are almost the same as the TCM classification.

Objective To explore the mechanism of self-awareness in the heavy smokers(HS)by using regional homogeneity(ReHo)combined with resting-state functional MRI(fMRI).Methods Thirty HS and 31 healthy non-smokers(NS)matched for age and sex underwent a 3.0 T resting-state fMRI.The data were post-processed by SPM 5 and then the ReHo values were calculated by REST software.The ReHo values between the two groups were compared by two-sample t-test.The brain map with significant difference of ReHo value was obtained.Results Compared with that in NS group,the regions with decreased ReHo value included the bilateral precuneus,superior frontal gyrus,medial prefrontal cortex,right angular gyrus,inferior frontal gyrus,inferior occipital gyrus,cerebellum,and left middle frontal gyrus in HS group.The regions of increased ReHo value included the bilateral insula,parahippocampal gyrus,white matter of parietal lobe,pons,left inferior parietal lobule,lingual gyrus,thalamus,inferior orbital gyrus,white matter of temporal-frontal lobe,and cerebellum.The difference was more obvious in the left hemisphere.Conclusions In HS,abnormal ReHo on a resting state which reflects network of smoking addiction.This method may be helpful in understanding the mechanism of self-awareness in HS.

Heat shock protein 90(Hsp90)which is a molecular chaperone that integrates multiple oncogenic pathways, is an important target in cancer therapy. The present research and development of the traditional N-terminal and C-terminal inhibitors has been restricted while targeting Hsp90 and cell division cycle protein Cdc37 has become the new direction of inhibiting Hsp90. Previous studies have demonstrated that various protein kinases rely on Cdc37 to load onto Hsp90 to complete their correct folding. Thus targeting Hsp90-Cdc37 is a promising strategy to inhibit protein kinases and alleviate the side effects. The interaction mechanism between Hsp90 and Cdc37 has become clearer in recent studies and many natural products have been reported to possess the ability to disassociate Hsp90-Cdc37. In this review, current knowledge on these small molecule inhibitors are summarized. The mode of action is also discussed as the references for the development of novel Hsp90 inhibitors.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of the clinical application of the diagnosis and treatment mode combining rapid frozen pathological examination of prostate biopsy tissue with radical prostatectomy.Methods:Suspected prostate cancer patients with PSA>10 ng/ml and PI-RADS score ≥4 in, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from April to September 2021 were collected. The included patients underwent mpMRI/TRUS image fusion-guided transperineal prostate targeted biopsy with 16G biopsy needle, 2-3 needles for biopsy, and rapid frozen pathological examination. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) was performed immediately for patients with prostate cancer with rapid freezing pathology. For undiagnosed prostate cancer, 18G biopsy needle for prostate targeted + systematic biopsy were used, 18-22 needles for systematic biopsy, and routine pathological examination. The baseline data, frozen pathological results, perioperative conditions, pathological results and follow-up data of all patients were collected.Results:Eleven patients were included in the study, the mean age of the patients was 69.9(66-73) years, the mean BMI was 22.8(19-26) kg/m 2, the mean PSA was 23.2(14.25-32.00), the mean prostate volume was 45(32-52) ml, mean PSAD 0.54(0.33-0.75). PI-RADS score was 4 in 3 cases and 5 in 8 cases; digital rectal examination was positive in 5 cases. All 11 cases underwent rapid freezing and the pathological results showed that: 9 cases were prostate adenocarcinoma, and RALP was performed immediately. The operation time was 111.5(96-126) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 78.9(55-105) ml, and the postoperative extubation time was 4.3(3.5-5.0) days, postoperative hospital stay 5.8(5.0-6.5) days. Postoperative pathology showed that Gleason score 3+ 4=7 in 1 case, 4+ 3=7 in 3 cases, 8 points in 4 cases, and 10 points in 1 case; 3 cases had positive resection margins, and 1 case had seminal vesicle invasion, the average number of dissected lymph nodes was 10.9 (8.5-14.0), and there was no tumor metastasis. Pathological T staging included 2 cases of T 2b stage, 5 cases of T 2c stage, 1 case of T 3a stage, and 1 case of T 3b stage. Two patients were undiagnosed by rapid freezing pathology, of which one was prostate adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 4+ 3=7, and then received RALP; the other one was prostate inflammation. 11 patients were followed up; the postoperative follow-up time was 3-7 months, with an average of 5.2 months. Among the 10 patients who underwent RALP, 8 patients recovered urinary continence 2 weeks after surgery, and all recovered within 2 months after surgery. Three patients with positive surgical margins were given regular androgen deprivation therapy in the second week after surgery. PSA did not drop below 0.1 ng/ml in patients with positive margins and seminal vesicle invasion 3 months after surgery. No complications of Clavien grade Ⅰ or higher occurred after operation and during follow-up. Conclusions:For patients with high suspicion of prostate cancer, rapid frozen pathological examination of prostate biopsy tissue is performed. RALP is performed immediately for patients with prostate cancer. The results show that this diagnosis and treatment model could be safe and feasible.

Objective:To compare the results of operative versus interventional treatments in patients presenting with sentinel hemorrhage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of patients presenting with sentinel hemorrhage after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from August 2017 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 82 patients who were enrolled in this study, there were 50 males and 32 females, aged (59.0±7.7) years. The patients were divided into the interventional group ( n=42) and the surgical group ( n=40) based on the treatment they received for sentinel hemorrhage. The vascular injury rate, the first operation time for sentinel bleeding, the rate of successful hemostasis in a single operation, the number of deaths and other indicators were compared between groups. Results:In both the two groups of patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage, hepatectomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection and cholecystectomy were mainly performed hepatic artery injury, pancreaticoduodenectomy with gastroduodenal artery injury, and splenectomy with splenic artery injury. In the intervention group, 36 patients (85.7%) were successfully hemostasis after single treatment, and 32 patients (80.0%) in the operation group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=0.47, P=0.492). The first operation time for the intervention group was (40.5±8.5) min and the mortality rate was 2.4% (1/42), which were significantly better than that of the operation group (90.6±20.8) min and 15.0% (6/40) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Interventional therapy can be used as the first-line diagnosis and treatment for sentinel bleeding after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. It has the advantages of a lower mortality rate in treating these patients.

Objective:To investigate the factors affecting the effect of periprostatic nerve block (PNB), establish a prediction model of pain degree, and verify the prediction efficiency.Methods:The clinical data of 314 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in our hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 14.6 (10.70, 24.65) ng/ml, and the median puncture needle number was 21 (19, 23) needles, median prostate volume 45.86 (31.52, 67.96) ml, median body mass index (BMI)24.02(22.97, 25.33)kg/m 2, including 109 patients with a history of diabetes, 90 patients with a history of surgery, and 57 patients with a history of severe trauma. The patients were divided into mild pain group (1-3 points), moderate pain group (4-6 points) and severe pain group (7-10 points) according to the intraoperative visual analogue scale (VAS). According to the clinical characteristics, the factors affecting the effect of PNB were analyzed by univariate analysis and multiple ordered logistic regression method. R language was used to construct a nomogram model for predicting PNB effect, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was carried out to verify the prediction efficiency of the model. Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that 171 patients in the mild pain group had a median age of 71 (65, 75) years, a median PSA14.5 (9.6, 24.6) ng/ml, a median number of puncture needles of 20 (18, 22), and a median prostate volume of 34.94 (26.36, 45.12) ml, median BMI24.17(23.14, 25.79)kg/m 2, including 74 patients with a history of diabetes, 51 patients with a history of surgery, and 40 patients with a history of severe trauma; There were 110 patients in the moderate pain group, the median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median PSA14.8 (11.03, 24.27) ng/ml, the median number of puncture needles was 23 (20, 24) needles, median prostatic volume 63.24 (49.14, 78.72) ml, median BMI23.91(22.58, 24.88)kg/m 2, including 26 patients with a history of diabetes, 29 patients with a history of surgery, and 10 patients with a history of severe trauma; In the severe pain group, 33 patients had a median age of 73 (67, 78) years, a median PSA14.6 (10.85, 34.80) ng/ml, and a median puncture needle number of 23 (22.5, 24) needles, median prostate volume 70.64 (61.50, 104.51) ml, median BMI24.32(23.00, 26.06)kg/m 2, including 9 patients with a history of diabetes, 10 patients with a history of surgery, and 7 patients with a history of severe trauma. The results of univariate analysis showed that the number of puncture needles ( P<0.01), prostate volume ( P<0.01), history of diabetes ( P=0.002) and history of major trauma ( P= 0.009) were the factors affecting the effect of PNB. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that puncture needle number ( P=0.009), prostate volume ( P<0.01) and diabetes history ( P=0.041) were independent risk factors for PNB effect. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the moderate and above pain prediction model was 0.872, P<0.01; the area under ROC curve of the severe pain prediction model was 0.817, P<0.01; the result of Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the moderate and above pain prediction model was χ2=5.001, P=0.757. The results of the severe pain prediction model were χ2=4.452 and P=0.814. The calibration curve was established, which showed that the prediction probability of pain degree was in good agreement with the actual risk. Conclusions:The number of puncture needles, prostate volume and history of diabetes are the risk factors affecting the effect of PNB. The prediction model of PNB effect based on this model can be used to predict the pain degree of patients undergoing prostate biopsy after PNB.

This paper introduced the legislative development of community benefits system of nonprofit hospitals at federal level in the United States,as well as state legislatures in this regard. Based on America's experiences, an analysis was made on the "community benefits and health promotion model", which refers to community health needs assessment, health promotion programs, program implementation, supervision and appraisal. Thus the authors put forward inspirations for the social responsibility system development of public hospitals in China as follows. This refers to the establishment of hospitals' social responsibility system; development of community health promotion planning based on health needs;and establishment of social responsibility information disclosure system for fulfillment of their social responsibilities.

Objective To evaluate the preliminary clinical effect of anterior anatomical reduction plate fixation on the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation. Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the 13 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation admitted to the second affiliated hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to December 2017. There were eight males and five females, aged 20-57 years, with an average age of 42 years. All patients received transoropharyngeal reconstruction and atlantoaxial anterior anatomical reduction plate fixation, 12 of which underwent the surgery for the first time but one had the revision surgery. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. The angle of the clivus axis was measured, and the reduction of the atlantoaxial spine and the fusion of bone graft were observed. The neurological function was evaluated by Japanese Orthopedic Association ( JOA ) score and the improvement rate of spinal cord function was calculated. The complications were also recorded. Results All patients were followed up for 10-30 months [(14. 2 ± 5. 0)months]. The operation time was 150-285 minutes [(216. 8 ± 36. 7)minutes]. The intraoperative blood loss was 50-130 ml [(80. 5 ± 19. 7)ml]. The slope axis angle was (113. 2 ± 9. 1)° before operation and (145. 8 ± 6. 7)° after operation, with an average increase of 32. 6° (P<0. 01). Anatomical reduction was obtained in nine patients, and partial reduction in four patients. At the last follow-up, the atlantoaxial fusion was obtained in all patients, and the healing time was ( 4. 6 ± 1. 1 ) months. Postoperative neurological symptoms were improved compared with those before operation. The JOA score was improved from preoperative (8. 7 ± 1. 7) points to postoperative (14. 3 ± 1. 2) points, with an average increase of 5. 6 points (P<0. 01). The average improvement rate of spinal cord function was 69％. Except for one patient with cerebrospinal fluid leakage, there were no complications such as spinal cord, nerve, blood vessel injury or wound infection after operation. Conclusions Anterior atlantoaxial anatomical reduction plate fixation can effectively restore the dislocated atlantoaxial joint, restore slope axis angle, improve bone fusion rate, and improve nerve function. It can be used as an alternative or supplement to posterior fixation.

The present study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 137 patients who underwent prostate in North Jiangsu People's Hospital from June 2020 to May 2021. All patients underwent peripheral prostatic nerve block anesthesia (PPNB). The observation group received 1% ropivacaine 32 ml local, and the control group received the same dose of lidocaine. There was no significant difference in general data before puncture between the two groups ( P>0.05). All 137 cases were performed by the same surgeon. The number of puncture needles in the observation group and the control group was (20.2±2.8) and (20.2±2.9), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The visual analogue scores (VAS-1) of pain during puncture in the observation group and the control group were (2.62±0.74) and (2.48±0.79) points, respectively. The visual numeric score (VNS-1) was (3.03±0.88) points and (3.15±0.80) points, respectively, and there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). 30 min after puncture, VAS-2 was (0.48±0.53) points and (0.30±0.47) points, VNS-2 was (3.31±0.48) points and (3.55±0.71) points, respectively.The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in overall complication rate between the two groups ( P=0.661).

BACKGROUND:MRI is important for the diagnosis of early knee osteoarthritis.MRI image recognition and intelligent segmentation of knee osteoarthritis using deep learning method is a hot topic in image diagnosis of artificial intelligence. OBJECTIVE:Through deep learning of MRI images of knee osteoarthritis,the segmentation of femur,tibia,patella,cartilage,meniscus,ligaments,muscles and effusion of knee can be automatically divided,and then volume of knee fluid and muscle content were measured. METHODS:100 normal knee joints and 100 knee osteoarthritis patients were selected and randomly divided into training dataset(n=160),validation dataset(n=20),and test dataset(n=20)according to the ratio of 8:1:1.The Coarse-to-Fine sequential training method was used to train the 3D-UNET network deep learning model.A Coarse MRI segmentation model of the knee sagittal plane was trained first,and the rough segmentation results were used as a mask,and then the fine segmentation model was trained.The T1WI and T2WI images of the sagittal surface of the knee joint and the marking files of each structure were input,and DeepLab v3 was used to segment bone,cartilage,ligament,meniscus,muscle,and effusion of knee,and 3D reconstruction was finally displayed and automatic measurement results(muscle content and volume of knee fluid)were displayed to complete the deep learning application program.The MRI data of 26 normal subjects and 38 patients with knee osteoarthritis were screened for validation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The 26 normal subjects were selected,including 13 females and 13 males,with a mean age of(34.88±11.75)years old.The mean muscle content of the knee joint was(1 051 322.94±2 007 249.00)mL,the mean median was 631 165.21 mL,and the mean volume of effusion was(291.85±559.59)mL.The mean median was 0 mL.(2)There were 38 patients with knee osteoarthritis,including 30 females and 8 males.The mean age was(68.53±9.87)years old.The mean muscle content was(782 409.18±331 392.56)mL,the mean median was 689 105.66 mL,and the mean volume of effusion was(1 625.23±5 014.03)mL.The mean median was 178.72 mL.(3)There was no significant difference in muscle content between normal people and knee osteoarthritis patients.The volume of effusion in patients with knee osteoarthritis was higher than that in normal subjects,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).(4)It is indicated that the intelligent segmentation of MRI images by deep learning can discard the defects of manual segmentation in the past.The more accuracy evaluation of knee osteoarthritis was necessary,and the image segmentation was processed more precisely in the future to improve the accuracy of the results.
