Objective To establish a method for the determination of content in Sinomenine Hydrochloride external applied powder. Methods Diamonsil ODS C_(18) (250 mm ? 4.6 mm, 5 ?m) column was used in HPLC with mobile phase of phosphate buffer (0.01 mol/L K_2HPO_4 solution, and 1%0 triethylamine, pH was adjusted to 3.0)-MeOH (80 : 20). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the detection wavelength was 265 rim. Results The linear range of Sinomenine Hydrochloride was 0.446～4.46 ?g and the regression equation was Y=9.01 ? 10~6X+102803 (r=0.9999). The average recovery was 99.2%, RSD=0.68% (n =9). Conclusion This method is rapid and accurate with good reproducibility. It can be applied to control the quality of Sinomenine Hydrochloride external applied powder.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations,laboratory findings and genetic characteristics of two cases with simple virilizing (SV)21-hydroxylase(21OHD). Methods Clinical manifestations and laboratory data were obtained. The promoter and coding areas of CYP21A2 gene were directly sequenced. In silico analysis were used to predict the function of mutations. Results Two patients presented severe virilism. The laboratory examinations showed that plasma ACTH,aldosterone,androstendione and testosterone were significantly increased compared with normal individuals. VCT scan showed hyperplasia of bilateral adrenal. Direct sequencing of CYP21A2 gene showed two complex mutations-H62L/V69L and I2g/10InsL,which were not reported previously. In silico analysis(Polyphen)showed the novel mutation V69L could probably damage the function of CYP21A2 protein. Conclusion The combined mutations,H62L/V69Land I2g/10InsL,could be associated with SV type 21-OHD phenotype.

Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) was used to evaluate the patients' anxiety. Results? There was no statistically significant difference in blood pressure and pulse rate between the two groups before intervention (P＞ 0.05); blood pressure and pulse rate were lower in the intervention group than in the control group, and the VAS of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group after intervention (P＜ 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in APAIS scores between the two groups before intervention (P＞0.05); while the APAIS score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusions? IDEAS visits model can reduce the preoperative anxiety in ENT patients before day surgery.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect and underlying mechanism of ulinastatin on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were divided into three groups:sham operation group(Sham group),hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group(HIRI group)and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury+ulinastatin pretreatment group(HIRI+UTI group),with 8 rats in each group.The HIRI rat models were established by occluding hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery for 1 h.In the HIRI+UTI group,the rats were intraperitoneally injected with ulinastatin at 30 min before model establishment,and an equivalent amount of normal saline was given in the Sham and HIRI groups.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h after model establishment.Serum samples were collected to detect alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels.Pathological changes of liver tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Ultrastructural changes of mitochondria in liver tissues were observed by transmission electron microscopy.The expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)was determined by immunofluorescent staining.The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),Fe,reactive oxygen species(ROS)and GPX4 were detected.The expression levels of GPX4 and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family 4(ACSL4)messenger RNA(mRNA)and proteins in liver tissue were measured.Results Compared with the Sham group,serum ALT and AST levels were up-regulated,pathological changes such as congestion,hepatocyte necrosis and abnormal hepatic lobule structure were observed,pathological score was increased,the mitochondria shrank,the membrane density was increased,the mitochondrial crest was damaged or even absent,the contents of ROS,MDA and Fe were elevated,the GSH content was decreased,the fluorescent intensity of GPX4 was weakened,the relative expression levels of ACSL4 mRNA and protein were up-regulated,and the relative expression levels of GPX4 mRNA and protein were down-regulated in the HIRI group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the HIRI group,serum ALT and AST levels were down-regulated,liver tissue injury was alleviated,pathological score was decreased,mitochondrial shrinkage and crest breakage were mitigated,the contents of ROS,MDA and Fe were down-regulated,the GSH content was up-regulated,the fluorescent intensity of GPX4 was enhanced,the relative expression levels of ACSL4 mRNA and protein were down-regulated,and the relative expression levels of GPX4 mRNA and protein were up-regulated in the HIRI+UTI group(all P＜0.05).Conclusions Ulinastatin may alleviate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats probably through inhibiting ferroptosis.

Cartilage has poor self-recovery because of its characteristics of no blood vessels and high extracellular matrix. In clinical treatment, physical therapy or drug therapy is usually used for mild cartilage defects, and surgical treatment is needed for severe ones. In recent years, cartilage tissue engineering technology provides a new way for the treatment of cartilage defects. Compared with the traditional surgical treatment, cartilage tissue engineering technology has the advantages of small wound and good recovery. The application of microcarrier technology in the design of tissue engineering scaffolds further expands the function of scaffolds and promotes cartilage regeneration. This review summarized the main preparation methods and development of microcarrier technology in recent years. Subsequently, the properties and specific application scenarios of microcarriers with different materials and functions were introduced according to the materials and functions of microcarriers used in cartilage repair. Based on our research on osteochondral integrated layered scaffolds, we proposed an idea of optimizing the performance of layered scaffolds through microcarriers, which is expected to prepare bionic scaffolds that are more suitable for the structural characteristics of natural cartilage.

Objective:To assess the feasibility and efficacy of hypofractionated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (HFRT-SIB) for patients with non-osteogenic spinal metastases who were not suitable for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).Methods:A totoal of 26 spinal metastatic lesions in 24 patients with non-osteogenic spinal metastases admitted to Beijing Luhe Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from March 2020 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. In our institution, a higher-dose fractionated regimen for spinal metastases was introduced, at a dose of 3 Gy/f ×10 times (5 times a week, once a day) to the clinical target volume (CTV), and simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) of 4 Gy/f ×10 times (5 times a week, once a day) to the gross tumor volume (GTV). The primary endpoint was the overall relief (OR) rates of pain at 12 and 24 weeks post-radiotherapy, while secondary endpoints included the pain response time and duration of pain relief, the incidence of adverse events post-radiotherapy, and the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate. The differences before and after treatment were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. OS was assessed using Kaplan-Meier method.Results:The median follow-up was 11.7 (8.0, 17.0) months. At 12 weeks post-radiotherapy, 92% (22/24) of patients achieved OR, and 81% (17/21) obtained OR at 24 weeks post-radiotherapy. The median pain response time was 4 (3, 5) d. At the last follow-up, 42% (10/24) of patients maintained pain relief for over 1 year, with a median duration of pain relief up to 11.0 (6.0, 16.9) months. The 1-year OS rate was 66.3%, and no patients experienced grade 3 or higher acute or chronic adverse events.Conclusion:HFRT-SIB can effectively alleviate pain, and achieve sustained pain control, and does not lead to severe adverse effects in patients with non-osteogenic spinal metastases.

Background:Mortality outcomes in trials of low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer are inconsistent.This study aimed to evaluate whether CT screening in urban areas of China could reduce lung cancer mortality and to investigate the factors that associate with the screening effect.Methods:A decision tree model with three scenarios (low-dose CT screening,chest X-ray screening,and no screening) was developed to compare screening results in a simulated Chinese urban cohort (100,000 smokers aged 45-80 years).Data of participant characteristics were obtained from national registries and epidemiological surveys for estimating lung cancer prevalence.The selection of other tree variables such as sensitivities and specificities of low-dose CT and chest X-ray screening were based on literature research.Differences in lung cancer mortality (primary outcome),false diagnoses,and deaths due to false diagnosis were calculated.Sensitivity analyses were performed to identify the factors that associate with the screening results and to ascertain worst and optimal screening effects considering possible ranges of the variables.Results:Among the 100,000 subjects,there were 448,541,and 591 lung cancer deaths in the low-dose CT,chest X-ray,and no screening scenarios,respectively (17.2％ reduction in low-dose CT screening over chest X-ray screening and 24.2％ over no screening).The costs of the two screening scenarios were 9387 and 2497 false diagnoses and 7 and 2 deaths due to false diagnosis among the 100,000 persons,respectively.The factors that most influenced death reduction with low-dose CT screening over no screening were lung cancer prevalence in the screened cohort,low dose CT sensitivity,and proportion of early-stage cancers among low-dose CT detected lung cancers.Considering all possibilities,reduction in deaths (relative numbers) with low-dose CT screening in the worst and optimal cases were 16 (5.4％) and 288 (40.2％) over no screening,respectively.Conclusions:In terms of mortality outcomes,our findings favor conducting low-dose CT screening in urban China.However,approaches to reducing false diagnoses and optimizing important screening conditions such as enrollment criteria for screening are highly needed.
