Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been widely applied in treating neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, with corresponding evidence of safety and efficacy. However, when DBS is experimentally applied in the field of mental disorders, the uncertainty of its therapeutic mechanisms and targets becomes prominent, and there are peculiarities such as the lack of substantive informed consent, partial deprivation of autonomy, and the impact on the homogeneity of personality for research participants or patients. In response to the above situations, the current normative documents are still insufficient, the ethical review re-examination procedure has not yet formed a perfect system, the substantive informed consent of research participants or patients has not yet been clearly guaranteed, as well as the technical scope and regulatory boundaries are not clear. For the new application of DBS in the field of mental disorders, the principle of prudent supervision should be upheld, and appropriate regulation should be carried out to prevent the dilemma of “Collingridge”. Specifically, the ethical review system should be innovated and refined, whole-process informed consent of research participants or patients and guardian assistance in decision-making should be ensured, the legal nature of “experimental treatment” should be clarified, as well as the relevant provisions in the Mental Health Law of the People’s Republic of China should be improved, with a view to providing legal theoretical support and practical operational guidelines for the legalization and standardization of DBS’s application in mental disorder research.

This study aims to explore the impact of Rehmannioside D (RD) on ovarian functions of rats with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and its underlying mechanisms of action. A single injection of cyclophosphamide was performed to establish a DOR rat model, and fourteen days after the injection, the rats were intragastrically administrated with RD for two weeks. Rat estrus cycles were tested using vaginal smears. Ovarian tissues were histologically evaluated, the number of primordial, mature, and atretic follicles was calculated, and the apoptotic rate of granulosa cells. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2 ) levels were determined by ELISA assays. Protein levels of Forkhead Box O1 (FOXO1), KLOTHO, Bcl-2, and Bax were investigated in ovarian tissues of DOR rats. The binding between FOXO1 and KLOTHO was verified by ChIP assay. High-dose administration of RD into DOR rats improved their estrus cycles, increased ovarian index, enhanced the number of primordial and mature follicles, reduced the number of atretic follicle number, and ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis in addition to inhibiting FSH and LH levels and upregulating E2 expression. FOXO1 and KLOTHO were significantly suppressed in DOR rats. FOXO1 knockdown partially suppressed the protective effects of RD on DOR rats, and KLOTHO overexpression could restore RD-induced blockade of DOR development despite knocking down FOXO1. FOXO1 antibody enriched KLOTHO promoter, and the binding between them was reduced in DOR group compared to that in sham group. RD improved ovarian functions in DOR rats and diminished granulosa cell apoptosis via the FOXO1/KLOTHO axis.

Objective:To evaluate and compare efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) versus recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ:IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR:Fc) in the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with TEN treated with IVIG or rhTNFR:Fc in Wuhan No.1 Hospital from 2013 to 2019. There were 11 patients in the IVIG group, including 3 males and 8 females, aged 25-72 years, and the median TEN-specific severity-of-illness score (SCORTEN) was 3 points; there were 10 patients in the rhTNFR:Fc group, including 5 males and 5 females, aged 32-84 years, and the median SCORTEN was 2 points. These patients all showed no response to the 5-day treatment with prednisolone acetate at a dose of 0.6-1.0 mg·kg -1·d -1, and then received IVIG at a dose of 400 mg·kg -1·d -1 for 5 consecutive days, or subcutaneous injection of rhTNFR:Fc at a dose of 25 mg every other day for 4-6 sessions. Changes in skin lesions and adverse events were recorded in the 2 groups. Statistical analysis was carried out by using Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Compared with the rhTNFR:Fc group, the IVIG group showed a significant decrease in the time to onset of reduction of skin lesion exudate (1.73 ± 1.19 days vs. 3.00 ± 1.56 days, P < 0.05) , time to onset of pain relief in the lesion area (1.64 ± 1.28 days vs. 3.70 ± 1.63 days, P < 0.05) , time to lightening of color of the lesion base (2.45 ± 1.12 days vs. 3.90 ± 1.59 days, P < 0.05) , time to onset of new epidermis growth (3.09 ± 1.13 days vs. 5.20 ± 1.22 days, P < 0.05) , and in the time to onset of lesion drying at the intertriginous sites (4.82 ± 2.22 days vs. 7.90 ± 3.14 days, P < 0.05) . However, there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the IVIG group (17.70 ± 8.33 days) and rhTNFR:Fc group (16.70 ± 4.71 days, P > 0.05) . No adverse reactions were observed during the treatment, and no recurrence or complications were found in the 21 patients during the follow-up of 6 months. Conclusion:IVIG and rhTNFR:Fc are both effective in the treatment of TEN, but IVIG is superior to rhTNFR:Fc in terms of the time to onset of pain relief, skin lesion exudate reduction and epidermal growth.

Background::Percutaneous local tumor ablation (LTA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) have been regarded as viable treatments for early-stage lung cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of LTA with SBRT for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods::PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Ovid, Google scholar, CNKI, and CBMdisc were searched to identify potential eligible studies comparing the efficacy and safety of LTA with SBRT for early-stage NSCLC published between January 1, 1991, and May 31, 2021. Hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to estimate the effect size for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), locoregional progression (LP), and adverse events.Results::Five studies with 22,231 patients were enrolled, including 1443 patients in the LTA group and 20,788 patients in the SBRT group. The results showed that SBRT was not superior to LTA for OS (HR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.87-1.22, P = 0.71). Similar results were observed for PFS (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.71-1.67, P = 0.71) and LP (HR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.25-1.77, P = 0.70). Subgroup analysis showed that the pooled HR for OS favored SBRT in patients with tumors sized >2 cm (HR= 1.32, 95% CI: 1.14-1.53, P = 0.0003), whereas there was no significant difference in patients with tumors sized ≤2 cm (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.64-1.35, P = 0.70). Moreover, no significant differences were observed for the incidence of severe adverse events (≥grade 3) (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 0.63-6.07, P = 0.25) between the LTA group and SBRT group. Conclusions::Compared with SBRT, LTA appears to have similar OS, PFS, and LP. However, for tumors >2 cm, SBRT is superior to LTA in OS. Prospective randomized controlled trials are required to determine such findings.INPLASY Registration Number::INPLASY202160099

Objective:To explorethe the clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after renal transplantation caused by infection.Methods:Clinical data of 1 recipient with pseudoaneurysm after renal transplantation due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection were retrospectively analysed and combined with a literature review. Results:At Month 2 post-transplantation, the recipient developed right lower abdominal pain, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination showed a pseudoaneurysm at the artery anastomosis. Anti-infection and anti-rejection therapy had no obvious effect, and therefore next surgical exploration was performed. A size4.0 cm×3.5cm pseudoaneurysm was found intraoperatively at the graft renal artery anastomosis.After graft was evaluated as having no preservation value, the transplanted kidney and pseudoaneurysm were resected. Bacterial culture indicated Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.The recipient recovered well and waited for next transplantation. Conclusions:Pseudoaneurysm of transplanted kidney is a very rare complication after renal transplantation, and caused by infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is more rarer, It has not been reported in mainland China.This type of recipient has the characteristics of high graft inactivation rate and high mortality rate. Timely surgical resection can effectively prevent the deterioration of disease.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the UPLC fingerprint of Polygonum cuspidatum ,and to determine the contents of four active ingredients and to provide reference for the quality evaluation of P. cuspidatum . METHODS :The determination was performed on Waters BEH C 18 column(100 mm×2.1 mm,1.7 μm)with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.2% formic acid (gradient elution )at flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The column temperature was 40 ℃,and detection wavelength was 290 nm. The sample size was 1 μL. The fingerprints were evaluated by similarity calculation,cluster analysis and orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Using polydatin as internal standard ,relative calibration factors of resveratrol ,emodin-8-O- β-D-glucoside and emodin were determined to develop a method of QAMS. The contents of 4 above components in 15 batches of P. cuspidatum were calculated by relative calibration factors. The results of QAMS were compared with those of external standard. RESULTS:UPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of P. cuspidatum were established ,and 12 common peaks were confirmed. Five components were identified ,i.e. polydatin ,resveratrol,emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside,emodin,emodin methyl ether. The fingerprint similarity of 15 batches of P. cuspidatum was in the range of 0.865-0.976. According to cluster analysis ,15 batches of P. cuspidatum were classified into 4 categories,showing certain regularity of origin. Seven markers were identified by OPLS-DA method. The order of difference significance was peak 7>emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside>resveratrol>peak 8>polydatin>peak 1> peak 10. The relative deviation among the contents of resveratrol ,emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside and emodin in 15 batches of P. cuspidatum determined by QAMS and external standard method was less than 5.0%,indicating that there was no significant difference between the two methods. CONCLUSIONS :UPLC fingerprint combined with QAMS method is convenient and reliable for the quality evaluation of P. cuspidatum ;the quality of P. cuspidatum produced in Chongqing and Anhui province is better.
