Objective To investigate the feasibility of biomedical fibrin glue in laparoscopic treatment of peptic ulcer perforation.Methods A total of 126 patients with peptic ulcer perforation were randomly divided into two groups (63 in each group).Biomedical fibrin glue was used in treatment group,and routine treatment was used in control group.The total volume of drainage after operation,rate of intestnial fistula and adhesions,allergy reaction,time of drainage tube removal,and average hospotal stay time were observed in both groups.Results There was no allergic reaction in treatment group.Total volume of drainage in treatment group was(65.3?7.5)mL,and (110.2?9.6)mL in control group,with a significant difference between the two groups(P

0.05), but LA patients had less postoperative pain,less time to ambulation after operation, less time to food intake after operation, less average length of hospital stay,less rate of incision infection and less intestinal adhesion than OA did(all P

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation method(益气活血法) for critically ill patients.Methods: Ninety critically ill patients with(Qi-deficiency)(气虚) and blood stasis(血瘀) syndromes who diagnosed according to standard in a book named clinical diagnosis and treatment nomenclature of traditional Chinese medicine were randomly divided into the the treatment group(n=60) and the control group(n=30).The general therapy of the two groups was the same.Additionlly,the treatment group was administered Shenmai injection(丹参注射液) and Danshen power(丹参粉针剂),15 days were as one therapeutic course.Results: In the treatment group,the total effective rate of clinical therapeutic effects was 85.00 %;before and after treatment,traditional Chinese medical scores was 38.63?9.08 vs.24.27?7.43,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) 18.11?4.54 vs.12.47?1.64,platelet(PLT) count(198.00?54.16)?10~9/L vs.(174.00?40.82)?10~9/L,(haematocrit)(HCT) 0.340?0.049 vs.0.440?0.057,mean cell hemoglobin(MCH)(34.00?3.10)pg(vs.(31.00?1.83) pg).The differences of above parameters were significant between the two groups,and they were superior in the treatment group to those in the control group(all P

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effect of the lobulated medial sural artery perforator flap in repairing soft tissue defect in hand or foot.

METHODSSince March 2012 to September 2014, 6 cases with soft tissue defects in hands or feet were treated by lobulated medial sural artery flaps pedicled with 1st musculo-cutaneous perforator and 2st musculo-cutaneous perforator of the medial sural artery. The size of the flaps ranged from 4.5 cm x 10.0 cm to 6.0 cm x 17.0 cm.

RESULTS5 cases of lobulated flap survived smoothly, only 1 lobulated flap had venous articulo, but this flap also survived after the articulo was removed by vascular exploration. All flaps had desirable appearance and sensation and the two-point discrimination was 6 mm in mean with 4 to 12 months follow-up (average, 7 months). Linear scar was left in donor sites in 3 cases and skin scar in 3 cases. There was no malfunction in donor sites.

CONCLUSIONSLobulated medial sural artery perforator flap is feasible and ideal method for the treatment of soft tissue defect in hand or foot with satisfactory effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of splenic autotransplantation in patients with severe splenic trauma. Methods A prospective case-control study were performed in 120 patients with traumatic spleen rupture including the treatment group 72 patients and the control group 48 patients. The treatment group were treated with splenectomy plus spleen autotransplantation and the control group merely under splenectomy. Compare the operation time,operative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative complications and the immune indexes before and different period after operation. Results Autologous spleen transplantation takes more time than merely splenectomy(P<0.05),but the operative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and postopera-tive complications were no significant difference. 1 days after operation,the immune indexes of two groups were significantly lower than those before operation(P < 0.05),and 1 week after operation the immune indexes of two groups were significantly elevated(P<0.05).The immune indexes of the treatment group were better than those of the control group 3 months after operation(P < 0.05),and there was no significant difference compared with preoperative. Conclusion Splenectomy cause the decrease in the immune function,but the immune function can quickly rise to a certain level in short term.The splenic autotransplantation can effectively restore the immune func-tion to the preoperative level.

Mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf is a well-established traditional Chinese botanical and culinary resource. It has found widespread application in the management of diabetes. The bioactive constituents of mulberry leaf, specifically mulberry leaf flavonoids (MLFs), exhibit pronounced potential in the amelioration of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This potential is attributed to their ability to safeguard pancreatic β cells, enhance insulin resistance, and inhibit α-glucosidase activity. Our antecedent research findings underscore the substantial therapeutic efficacy of MLFs in treating T2D. However, the precise mechanistic underpinnings of MLF's anti-T2D effects remain the subject of inquiry. Activation of brown/beige adipocytes is a novel and promising strategy for T2D treatment. In the present study, our primary objective was to elucidate the impact of MLFs on adipose tissue browning in db/db mice and 3T3-L1 cells and elucidate its underlying mechanism. The results manifested that MLFs reduced body weight and food intake, alleviated hepatic steatosis, improved insulin sensitivity, and increased lipolysis and thermogenesis in db/db mice. Moreover, MLFs activated brown adipose tissue (BAT) and induced the browning of inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT) and 3T3-L1 adipocytes by increasing the expressions of brown adipocyte marker genes and proteins such as uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and beige adipocyte marker genes such as transmembrane protein 26 (Tmem26), thereby promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. Mechanistically, MLFs facilitated the activation of BAT and the induction of WAT browning to ameliorate T2D primarily through the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) signaling pathway. These findings highlight the unique capacity of MLF to counteract T2D by enhancing BAT activation and inducing browning of IWAT, thereby ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. As such, MLFs emerge as a prospective and innovative browning agent for the treatment of T2D.
