AIM To investigate the effects of Sanqi Huayu Oral Liquid (Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma,Corydalis Rhizoma) on femoral shaft comminuted fracture caused by trauma in perioperative period of high-risk groups.METHODS One hundred and twenty patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly and equally divided into treatment group and control group.The control group was treated by low molecular weight heparin calcium injection,while the treatment group was additionally given Sanqi Huayu Oral Liquid.Two groups' levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D were detected on pre-operation and the 1 st,3rd,7th after operation,respectively.Additionally,the adverse drug reactions were also observed.RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D between the two groups before operation.The first day after operation,the levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D between the two groups showed increasing trends,which had similar elevated levels without statistically significant differences.The third day after operation,the levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D between the two groups presented downward trends,but those in the treatment group were decreased more markedly with statistically significant differences.Furthermore,the seventh day after operation,the levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D between the two groups were lower than those before the operation,and these indices in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group with statistically significant differences.CONCLUSION Sanqi Huayu Oral Liquid can not only effectively reduce the levels of serum IL-6,TNF-α and D-D in perioperative period of high-risk groups,but also prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of environmental hypothermia on hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in unanesthetized swine model of hemorrhagic shock.Methods A total of 16 Bama pigs provided by animal experiment centre of the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command were randomized into two groups ( n =8,each):ambient temperature (A) and hypothermia ( H ).Venous blood (30 mL/kg) was continously withdrawn over 15 minutes to establish hemorrhagic shock model.Core temperature,heart rate,mean arterial pressure,central venous pressure,cardiac output,saturation of mixed venous blood and blood gas analysis were recorded at the baseline and different hemorrhagic shock time.DO2I and VO2I,and the O2 extraction ratio (O2ER) were calculated.Results Core body temperature in group A decreased slightly after hemorrhagic shock model had established and environmental hypothermia resulted in more reduction in core body temperature.The mortality rate was significantly higher in group H (50％) than in group A (0％) (P ＜0.05).DO2I and VO2I decreased significantly after hemorrhage.No difference was found in hemodynamics,DO2I and VO2I between group A and group H,but the difference of pH,lactic acid and O2ER were significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).conclusions Environmental hypothermia aggravated the disorder of oxygen metabolism after hemorrhagic shock,which was associated with poor prognosis.

AIM:To observe the expression of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) of rat cardiomyocytes in anoxia-reoxygenation(A/R) injury and CaSR-induced changes of intracellular calcium;involvement of CaSR in apoptosis and relevant signaling transduction pathway.METHODS:The A/R injury was remodeled in vitro;CaSR,caspase 3 and caspase 9 were deteced by Western blotting.LSCM was used to observe changes of intracellular calcium during reperfusion with or without CaSR agonist.Morphological changes in different groups were observed by light microscopes.Apoptotic cells were measured by TUNEL assay.RESULTS:By LSCM,it was found that the intracellular calcium was significantly increased during reperfusion both in A/R and activator group.Severe injury was found by HE staining in the above two groups,the number of apoptotic cells was significantly increased according to TUNEL assay.The expression of CaSR,caspase 3 and caspase 9 was significantly increased in A/R group and activator group compared with control.CONCLUSION:CaSR is involved in intracellular calcium overload in A/R cardiomyocyte,which can accelerate apoptosis during A/R.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of da Vinci Robot Xi system-assisted single-incision laparoscopic surgery for treating benign ovarian lesions in children and adolescents.Methods From June 2020 to March 2023,13 cases of benign ovarian lesions were operated by using a specially designed 4-channel single-incision laparoscopic device assisted by the da Vinci Robot Xi system.The docking between the da Vinci Robot and the patient was completed,and the affected ovaries were cut open with a non-powered scissors to expose the tumor tissue.The tumor tissue was removed as completely as possible along the edge of the tumor,and an absorbable suture was used to seal the wound followed by restoring the umbilical structure.Results All the 13 cases underwent ovarian benign lesion resection through a single incision in the umbilical region,without conversion to open surgery.The surgical time was 81-246 min,with an average of 161.4 min.The intraoperative bleeding volume was 5-50 ml,with an average of 21.2 ml.During the operation,2 cases of ovarian torsion and 3 cases of ovarian benign lesion rupture(with postoperative drainage tube placement)were found.Postoperative pathological findings showed 9 cases of mature teratoma,2 cases of serous cystadenoma,and 2 cases of simple cyst.The postoperative hospitalization time was 2-7 d,with an average of 4.2 d.There was 1 case of postoperative incision infection who was cured after antibiotic treatment.The follow-up period was 6-36 months,with an average of 21.1 months.No tumor recurrence or complications occurred,and all the patients had hidden scars on the umbilical incision.The patients and their families were satisfied with the postoperative appearance.Conclusion The application of da Vinci Robot Xi system-assisted single-incision laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of benign ovarian lesions in children and adolescents is safe and feasible,which can be considered as an option for treating such conditions.

Objective:To analyse the factors associated with the selection of breast- conserving surgery in early female patients with breast cancer.Methods:The targeted patients were females diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and received surgical treatment at Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019. The targeted patients' clinical, demographic, and social-economic characteristics were extracted from the hospital health information system. Relevant information of their attending surgeons was collected through a smart-phone based self-respond online survey. We performed multivariate logistic regression to explore the associated factors with breast-conserving surgery (BCS) decision-making.Results:The age of the patient and attending surgeon and the economic development level of the patient's residence area were the associated factors with BCS decision-making of female early-stage breast cancer. By controlling the other factors unchanged, patients from middle-income areas were more likely to accept BCS ( OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.01-3.62, P=0.05) than those from low-income areas. When the attending surgeon was at the average age of 45 years old, increasing of 1 year age of patient led to 4% decrease of the probability of BCS (95% CI: -0.07 - -0.01, P=0.01). When the patient was at the average age of 52 years old, increasing of 1 year age of the attending surgeon reduced 10% of the probability of BCS (95% CI: -0.19 - -0.01, P=0.03). The interaction effects related to the age of attending surgeon and patient for some observations to choose BCS were statistically significant, and the average interaction effect was 0.06% ( Z=2.11, s x =0.000 3, P<0.05). Conclusion:To promote breast-conserving surgery in the indicated early female patients with breast cancer, it is necessary to consider factors from both the surgeons and the patients.

Objective:To understand the incidence trend of meningococcal meningitis from 1990 to 2023 and major pathogenic serogroups of Neisseria ( N.) meningitidis from 2006 to 2023 in China and the time trend of the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by main pathogenic serogroups, and provide reference for the prevention and control of meningococcal meningitis. Methods:The study used the data from "National Epidemic Data Compile" from 1990 to 2003 and the data from China Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System from 2004 to 2023 to analyze the incidence trend of meningococcal meningitis in China from 1990 to 2023 by Joinpoint regression method. Based on the data of the national meningococcal meningitis surveillance information reporting and management system from 2006 to 2023, the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by different serogroups of N. meningitidis was described and analyzed, and the trend χ2 test was performed to analyze the change of the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis A, B, and C. Results:The overall incidence of meningococcal meningitis in China showed a downward trend from 1990 to 2023 [average annual percent change (AAPC)=-14.80%, P<0.001], with the most obvious decline from 2005 to 2012 [annual percent change (APC)=-31.01%, P<0.001]. The incidence of meningococcal meningitis decreased in both men and women (AAPC=-14.69% and -15.05%, both P<0.001). A total of 1 178 serogroup specific cases of meningococcal meningitis were reported in China from 2006 to 2023, the proportion of serogroup C was highest (32.5%), followed by unclassified (22.3%), B (20.1%), A (18.4%), W (4.5%), Y (2.0%) and X (0.2%). The results of trend χ2 test indicated that the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis A and C showed downward trends (both P<0.001) and the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis B showed an upward trend in general population and young children (0-4 years old group) from 2006 to 2023 (both P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of meningococcal meningitis showed a downward trend in China from 1990 to 2023, but it is still necessary to pay more attention to the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis B in age group aged 0-4 years and by multi serogroups at same time in general population.

Background::While type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered a putative causal risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), the intrinsic link underlying T2DM and CAD is not fully understood. We aimed to highlight the importance of integrated care targeting both diseases by investigating the phenotypic and genetic relationships between T2DM and CAD.Methods::We evaluated phenotypic associations using data from the United Kingdom Biobank ( N = 472,050). We investigated genetic relationships by leveraging genomic data conducted in European ancestry for T2DM, with and without adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (T2DM: Ncase/ Ncontrol = 74,124/824,006; T2DM adjusted for BMI [T2DM adjBMI]: Ncase/ Ncontrol = 50,409/523,897) and for CAD ( Ncase/ Ncontrol = 181,522/984,168). We performed additional analyses using genomic data conducted in multiancestry individuals for T2DM ( Ncase/ Ncontrol = 180,834/1,159,055). Results::Observational analysis suggested a bidirectional relationship between T2DM and CAD (T2DM→CAD: hazard ratio [HR] = 2.12, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.01–2.24; CAD→T2DM: HR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.63–1.81). A positive overall genetic correlation between T2DM and CAD was observed ( rg = 0.39, P = 1.43 × 10 -75), which was largely independent of BMI (T2DM adjBMI–CAD: rg = 0.31, P = 1.20 × 10 –36). This was corroborated by six local signals, among which 9p21.3 showed the strongest genetic correlation. Cross-trait meta-analysis replicated 101 previously reported loci and discovered six novel pleiotropic loci. Mendelian randomization analysis supported a bidirectional causal relationship (T2DM→CAD: odds ratio [OR] = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.11-1.16; CAD→T2DM: OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.07-1.18), which was confirmed in multiancestry individuals (T2DM→CAD: OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.10-1.16; CAD→T2DM: OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13). This bidirectional relationship was significantly mediated by systolic blood pressure and intake of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, with mediation proportions of 54.1% (95% CI: 24.9-83.4%) and 90.4% (95% CI: 29.3-151.5%), respectively. Conclusion::Our observational and genetic analyses demonstrated an intrinsic bidirectional relationship between T2DM and CAD and clarified the biological mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the survival rate and its prognostic factors for patients with biliary tract cancer, and then a prognostic risk prediction model was constructed to predict the survival probability of patients. Methods: A total of 14 005 patients with biliary tract cancer (including gallbladder cancer, extrahepatic bile duct cancer, and ampulla of Vater cancer), who were diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 in the US National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) were included in the development cohort. The prognostic risk factors of biliary tract cancer were investigated using multivariate Cox regression models. The predictive nomograms were then constructed to predict the overall survival probability of 1, 3, and 5 years, and the predictive discrimination and calibration ability of the nomograms were further evaluated. Meanwhile, 11 953 patients who were diagnosed during 2004 to 2009 from SEER Program were then selected to validate the external predictive accuracy of the prediction models. Results: The 1, 3 and 5-year cumulative survival rates of patients with biliary tract cancer were 41.9%, 20.4% and 15.3%, respectively, in the development cohort. Age greater than 50 years, African Americans and Native Americans and Alaska Natives, higher T, N and M stage and poor histological differentiation grade were risk factors for death, while married status, Asia-Pacific Islanders, insured status and surgery on primary site were protective factors. Gender was not significantly associated with the overall survival. The C statistic of the prediction model was 0.73 (95%CI: 0.72-0.74), and the calibration curve showed that the interaction curves of predictive and actual survival rates of 1, 3 and 5 years were close to the 45 degree diagonal. Results in the validation cohort were similar with those in the construction cohort, with a C statistic of 0.70 (95%CI: 0.69-0.72), indicating high external applicability of the prediction model. Findings from gallbladder cancer, extrahepatic bile duct cancer, and ampulla of Vater cancer are in consistent with the overall biliary tract cancer. Conclusions The survival rate of patients with biliary tract cancer is relatively poor, and the survival prediction model based on prognostic factors has high prediction accuracy. In the future, this prognostic prediction model could be applied to clinical practice to guide individualized treatment for patients with biliary tract cancer.

Smart manufacturing still remains critical challenges for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Here, an original data-driven engineering framework was proposed to tackle the challenges. Firstly, from sporadic indicators to five kinds of systematic quality characteristics, nearly 2,000,000 real-world data points were successively characterized from Ginkgo Folium tablet manufacturing. Then, from simplex to the multivariate system, the digital process capability diagnosis strategy was proposed by multivariate C_pk integrated Bootstrap-t. The C_pk of Ginkgo Folium extracts, granules, and tablets were discovered, which was 0.59, 0.42, and 0.78, respectively, indicating a relatively weak process capability, especially in granulating. Furthermore, the quality traceability was discovered from unit to end-to-end analysis, which decreased from 2.17 to 1.73. This further proved that attention should be paid to granulating to improve the quality characteristic. In conclusion, this paper provided a data-driven engineering strategy empowering industrial innovation to face the challenge of smart pharmaceutical manufacturing.
