ObjectiveTo investigate whether Bushen Huoxue prescription improves embryo implantation through regulating exosomal miRNA to enhance maternal-fetal interface communication based on Bushen Huoxue therapy. MethodsIn the animal experiment, all the rats (except for the blank group) were administered hydroxyurea (450 mg·kg-1) via gavage for 10 d, as well as epinephrine (0.3 mg·kg-1) and mifepristone (5.5 mg·kg-1) via subcutaneous injection for 7 d to establish an implantation disorder model of kidney deficiency and blood stasis type. The Bushen Huoxue prescription (BSHX) groups were administered the prescription at different doses (7.30 g·kg-1 for the high-dose group, 3.65 g·kg-1 for the medium-dose group, and 1.83 g·kg-1 for the low-dose group) via gavage. The dydrogesterone group was administered the corresponding medicine (2.63 mg·kg-1) via gavage. After intervention for 10 days, uterine histopathological changes were observed via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Mucin (MUC1), forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), and homeobox A10 (HoxA10) expression levels were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. Cell experiment selected primary endometrial epithelial cells (EEC) and trophoblast cells (TC) as research subjects. Exosome-free medicated serum was prepared by ultracentrifugation and cultured in complete medium. Exosomes were isolated from cell supernatants by ultracentrifugation for cross-co-culture. After 48 h, migration and invasion abilities were assessed by scratch and Transwell assays. Sequencing was then performed on EEC-origin exosomal miRNA. ResultsThe model rats exhibited thin endometrium, along with reduced blood vessels, glandules, and pinopode numbers. BSHX improved endometrial morphology and increased pinopode numbers. MUC1, FoxO1, and HoxA10 expressions were downregulated in the model rats, while these parameters were upregulated after BSHX medium- and high-dose intervention. In the cell experiment, after exosome-free medicated serum intervention for 24 h, migration and invasion abilities were enhanced in the BSHX groups (P<0.01). In EEC-origin exosomal miRNA sequencing, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed enrichment in biological processes (gastrulation, neuronal differentiation, alongside cell development and regeneration), involving the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), FoxO1, Wnt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathways. ConclusionBSHX promotes embryo implantation by improving endometrial receptivity via regulating exosomal miRNA. These findings provide potential targets for exosomal miRNA-based assisted reproductive strategies and a novel theoretical basis for infertility treatment by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of O-arm navigation-assisted and conventional posterior cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty (CEOL) via the intermuscular approach in the treatment of cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD).Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 CSCIWFD patients who were admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023, with compression at C3-C6. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: 30 patients underwent O-arm navigation-assisted intermuscular approach CEOL (navigation-assisted group) and 30 patients underwent conventional intermuscular approach CEOL (conventional surgery group). Surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and total surgical blood loss were compared between the two groups. At 2 weeks postoperatively, CT scan was performed to evaluate the accuracy of hinge or open-door position preparation of the surgical segments. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for neck and shoulder pain and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores were compared between the two groups preoperatively, at 2 weeks, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. Complication rates were also evaluated.Results:A total of 60 patients with CSCIWFD were included, comprising 35 males and 25 females, aged 35-77 years [(50.9±8.6)years]. All the patients were followed up for 12-24 months [(16.9±3.1)months]. The surgical duration and intraoperative blood loss were (121.6±17.9)minutes and (144.7±44.2)ml in the navigation-assisted group, shorter or less than (132.3±14.6)minutes and (178.7±48.7)ml in the conventional surgery group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative drainage volume and total surgical blood loss between the two groups ( P>0.05). CT scan reviewed at 2 weeks postoperatively revealed that the accuracy rate of hinge and open-door position preparation of the surgical segments in the navigation-assisted group was 99.2% (119/120), significantly higher than 86.7% (104/120) in the conventional surgery group ( P<0.01). Before operation and at 2 weeks, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the VAS scores for neck and shoulder pain and JOA scores in the navigation-assisted group were 5.0(4.0, 7.0)points and (8.7±2.8)points, 3.0(2.0, 4.0)points and (10.2±2.5)points, 2.0(1.0, 2.0)points and (1 3.0±1.8)points, and 1.0(1.0, 2.0)points and (13.9±1.5)points respectively, while in the conventional surgery group, the VAS scores and JOA scores were 5.5(5.0, 6.3)points and (8.8±2.6)points, 4.0(3.0, 4.0)points and (10.4±2.5)points, 2.0(1.0, 3.0)points and (12.9±2.2)points, and 2.0(1.0, 2.0)points and (13.8±2.0)points ( P>0.05). Both groups showed improvement in neck and shoulder VAS scores and JOA scores at 2 weeks, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, compared to preoperative scores ( P<0.05); further improvement was observed at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up compared to that at 2 weeks postoperatively ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between neck and shoulder VAS scores or JOA scores at 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). In the navigation-assisted group, 2 patients had axial neck-shoulder pain postoperatively, with a complication rate of 7% (2/30); while in the conventional surgery group, 7 patients had axial neck-shoulder pain and one patient developed cerebrospinal fluid leakage and low-pressure headache, with a complication rate of 27% (8/30) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared to the conventional intermuscular approach, O-arm navigation-assisted intermuscular approach CEOL for CSCIWFD reduces surgical duration and intraoperative blood loss, improves the accuracy of hinge and open-door position preparation, and lowers complication rates.

Objective:To investigate the early warning value of transcutaneous oxygen pressure and transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (TcPO 2/TcPCO 2) monitoring in patients with pressure injury in ICU. Methods:A prospective clinical observation study was conducted. Patients were selected in the department of critical care medicine of Shenzhen Hospital Affiliated to University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from December 2020 to June 2022. The general information of all patients were recorded. The data of TcPO 2 and TcPCO 2 were monitored respectively in left lying position, supine position and right lying position. According to the Braden score of patients, they were divided into low risk group and high risk group, and the monitoring results of TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 were analyzed. Results:The study included a total of 80 patients, with 46 patients in the low risk group and 34 patients in the high risk group. There were no significant differences in gender and age between the two groups (both P>0.05). There were significant differences in the Braden score and the incidence of pressure injury between the two groups (both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in TcPO 2 at various time points in the left lying position, supine position and right lying position between the low risk and the high risk groups (all P<0.001). Except for the 15th minute of the left lying position and right lying position, there were statistically significant differences in TcPCO2 at all other time points in the supine and right lying positions between two groups (all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 values at various time points in different positions between two groups (all P<0.001). In supine position, TcPO 2 and TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 were positively correlated with the Braden score ( r=0.680, 0.741). TcPCO 2 was negatively correlated with the Braden score ( r=-0.771). The Braden score, TcPO 2, TcPCO 2 and TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 all have moderate diagnostic value. The cut-off values were 12.50, 41.48 mmHg, 52.29 mmHg and 0.91, respectively. And the AUC were 0.899, 0.727, 0.816 and 0.719, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in AUC between the TcPO 2, TcPCO 2, TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 and Braden score (all P>0.05). Conclusions:TcPO 2, TcPCO 2 and TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 values all have higher diagnostic value about pressure injury for patients in ICU. TcPO 2/TcPCO 2 monitoring has early risk warning value for the occurrence of pressure injury in ICU, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE To study the moderation effect of water extract of Farfarae Flos on blood lipid and glucose regulation in obese mice. METHODS Chemical method was used to identify the components of the water extract of Farfarae Flos. The contents of total terpenes in the water extract of the Farfarae Flos were determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, orlistat group, and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of water extract of Farfarae Flos. The blank group was fed with ordinary diet, while the other groups were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet to establish an obese animal model, and they were administration while molding for 45 d. At the end of the experiment, the contents of serum triglyceride(TG), cholesterol(CHO), high-density lipoprotein-C(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-C(LDL-C), glucose(GLU), and glycosylated serum protein(GSP) were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and oil red O staining were used to observe the morphological changes and lipid droplet distribution of liver tissue in mice. RESULTS There were flavonoids and terpenoids in the water extract of the flower. Compared with the blank group, the levels of TG, CHO, LDL-C, GLU and GSP in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01), HDL-C was significantly decreased(P<0.05), and the area of lipid droplets in the liver was significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, TG, LDL-C, CHO, GLU and GSP levels in the Farfarae Flos water extract groups were significantly decreased, HDL-C was increased, and lipid droplet accumulation were reduced. Compared with the model group, the blood lipid and blood glucose levels in the treatment groups were significantly decreased, among them, the high-dose group of the water extract of Farfarae Flos had the best effect. CONCLUSION The water extract of farfara can improve glucose and lipid metabolism in obese mice by reducing blood lipids, CHO, and improving the pathological morphology of liver tissue.
