Objective: To explore the learning curve of transurethral 450 nm blue light vaporization of the prostate (TUBVP) in a district hospital,in order to provide reference for clinicians who plan to perform TUBVP. Methods: The clinical data of 56 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who received TUBVP performed by the same group of surgeons in Chang'an District Hospital during Jun. and Dec. 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) was used to fit the learning curve of ratio of volume to operating time (RVOT) of prostate volume /450 nm blue light. The learning curve was divided into different stages according to the inflection points,and the clinical data of patients operated at different stages were analyzed and compared. Results: The learning curve of TUBVP was 21 cases,including 1-21 cases in the learning stage,22-38 cases in the improvement stage and 39-56 cases in the maturity stage. With the increase of cases,the postoperative bladder irrigation time reduced \[40.00 (26.00,44.50) h vs. 23.00(20.50,34.00) h vs. 23.50(14.75,40.75) h\],with statistical difference (P<0.05). The surgical efficiency increased \[(0.51±0.14) vs. (0.55±0.17) vs. (0.63±0.23)\],while the reduction of hemoglobin \[(6.43±7.35) g/L vs. (5.65±10.91) g/L vs. (2.61±7.36) g/L\],catheter indwelling time \[70.0 (66.0,106.0) h vs. 71.0 (66.0,89.0) h vs. 66.0 (58.5,78.5) h\],and incidence of complications (9.5% vs. 5.9% vs. 0) in the three stages showed a gradually decreasing trend,but with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion: The learning curve of TUBVP is 21 cases. For clinicians in district hospitals,TUBVP is a worthy choice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the alleviating effect of calcium cyanamide (CaCN2) soil fumigation on replanting problems of Rehmannia glutinosa. MethodsNewly soil (NP) was used as the control group, while three treatment groups were established: replanted soil (RP), newly soil treated with CaCN2 (120 g·m², tillage depth 25 cm) (NPCC), and replanted soil treated with CaCN2 (RPCC). R. glutinosa was cultivated in all groups. At harvest, the tuber agronomic traits (number of enlarged roots, maximum root diameter, fresh weight, dry weight) were measured. The content of catalpol and rehmannioside D was quantified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) to evaluate medicinal quality. Rhizosphere soil available nutrients and enzyme activities were analyzed by assay kits. The community structure and composition of fungi and bacteria in rhizosphere soil were assessed via internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequencing and 16S rDNA sequencing, respectively. ResultsCompared with NP, the RP group showed obviously reduced in tuber agronomic traits and quality indicators (P0.05). However, the RPCC group showed significant improvement in agronomic traits and a notable increase in rehmannioside D content compared to RP (P0.05). The contents of available phosphorus and potassium in RPCC and NP groups were obviously lower than those in RP (P0.05). The polyphenol oxidase soil (S-PPO) activity in RP was obviously lower than in NP (P0.05), while sucrose soil (S-SC), acid phosphatase soil (S-ACP), and S-PPO activities in RPCC were obviously higher than in RP (P0.05). Microbial richness and diversity in RP were obviously higher than in NP (P0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed between the RPCC and NP. The relative abundances of fungal genera Nectria, Myrothecium, Tomentella, and bacterial genus Skermanella were obviousl lower in RPCC and NP than in RP (P0.05). Correlation analysis that S-ACP activity was positively correlated with the content of rehmannioside D (P0.05). Fungal genera Engyodontium and Alternaria, and bacterial genera Pir4 lineage, Pirellula, Methyloversatilis, Brevundimonas, Ralstonia, and Acidibacter were obviously positively correlated with tuber dry weight (P0.05). Conversely, fungal genera Pseudaleuria, Nectria, Haematonectria, Ceratobasidium, and bacterial genera Streptomyces, Skermanella, RB41, Gemmatimonas, and Bacillus were obviously negatively correlated with dry weight (P0.05). The fungal genus Alternaria and bacterial genera Brevundimonas, Ralstonia, Acidibacter, and Dongia showed positive correlations with medicinal quality of R.glutinosa tuber, while fungal genera Pseudaleuria, Nectria, Stachybotrys, Fusarium, Gibberella, Ceratobasidium, and bacterial genera Sphingomonas, Skermanella, RB41, Gemmatimonas, and Bacillus were obviously negatively correlated (P0.05). ConclusionCaCN2 soil fumigation can significantly improve enzyme activities in replanted Rehmannia rhizosphere soil, enhance the utilization of available nutrients, reshape microbial community structure of replanted R.glutinosa at the family and genus level, and notably improve tuber agronomic traits and medicinal quality. This study provides a novel approach to alleviating replanting problems and offers insights for the integrated development of standardized cultivation techniques, including soil disinfection, nutrient-targeted regulation, and microbial inoculant application.

Given the increasing concern regarding antibacterial resistance, the antimicrobial properties of naphthoquinones have recently attracted significant attention. While 1,4-naphthoquinone and its derivatives have been extensively studied, the antibacterial properties of 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives remain relatively unexplored. This study presents a comprehensive in vitro and in vivo analysis of the antibacterial activity of 35 naturally sourced and chemically synthesized derivatives of 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. Kirby-Bauer antibiotic testing identified three compounds with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), with one compound (PNP-02) demonstrating activity comparable to vancomycin in minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and time-kill assays. Microscopic and biochemical analyses revealed that PNP-02 adversely affects the cell wall and cell membrane of MRSA. Mechanistic investigations, including proteomic sequencing analyses, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR assays, indicated that PNP-02 compromises cell membrane integrity by inhibiting arginine biosynthesis and pyrimidine metabolism pathways, thereby increasing membrane permeability and inducing bacterial death. In an in vivo mouse model of skin wound healing, PNP-02 exhibited antibacterial efficacy similar to vancomycin. The compound demonstrated low toxicity to cultured human cells and in hemolysis assays and remained stable during serum incubation. These findings suggest that PNP-02 possesses promising bioactivity against MRSA and represents a potential novel antibacterial agent.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and feasibility of intra-biliary drainage tube placement after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration in elderly patients with choledocholithiasis, and to provide more options for surgical procedures in the clinical management of elderly patients with choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 52 elderly patients with choledocholithiasis who were admitted to Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Dalian Friendship Hospital of Dalian Medical University, from November 2021 to October 2024. According to the biliary drainage method after surgery, the patients were divided into internal drainage group with 24 patients and T-tube drainage group with 28 patients, and there were 19 patients in each group after propensity score matching. The two groups were compared in terms of perioperative parameters and postoperative complications. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the T-tube drainage group, the internal drainage group had a significantly shorter length of postoperative hospital stay and a significantly lower volume of postoperative bile loss (Z=-2.845 and -5.633, both P<0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups in time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, and drainage tube indwelling time (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative bile leak, stone recurrence, biliary stricture, and drainage tube-related complications, and the internal drainage group had a significantly lower total complication rate than the T-tube drainage group [1 (5.3%) vs 7 (36.8%), P<0.05]. ConclusionFor elderly patients with choledocholithiasis, intra-biliary drainage tube placement after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration can shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay, reduce bile loss, and lower the incidence rate of postoperative complications, thereby helping to accelerate postoperative recovery.

The rates of recovery of spontaneous circulation, admission survival, and discharge survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in China are much lower than the world and Asian averages, and the data on the survival of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients are also less favorable. The variable quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the low percentage of bystander CPR participation are the main reasons for these phenomena. Real-time feedback devices are an effective strategy to address these issues and have been recommended for use in several guidelines. However, the existing CPR feedback devices have the problems of being inconvenient to operate and expensive to popularize. Therefore, members of the CPR training team of Loudi Central Hospital designed a CPR real-time feedback APP device, which has been granted the right of National Invention Patent of China (patent number: ZL 2021 1 1118500.1). The device consists of a feedback device and a mobile device (there are two versions: healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals). The feedback device consists of a pressing plate and a soft rubber plate. The inner side of the soft rubber plate is covered with sensor monitoring points. On each sensor monitoring point, there are micro pressure sensors and micro acceleration sensors. When performing chest compressions, the sensors will transmit the relevant data to the cell phone feedback APP. By sampling and analyzing the data and building a three-dimensional dynamic model, the feedback APP accurately judges the effect of chest compressions based on factors such as the strength of the compressions, the frequency of the compressions and the depth of the compressions, corrects and provides voice guidance for the subsequent CPR process in real time, guides the rescuers to follow the standardized procedures for rescue, and improves the survival rate and neurological recovery of the CPR patients. The device improves CPR with exact effect, real-time accuracy, simple operation, easy to promote, and applicable to all populations. It has good clinical application and socialization popularization value, and can be equipped in medical institutions and public places.

Objective:To explore the medication law of gilles de la Tourette syndrome (TS) in ancient TCM books through data mining.Methods:TS related disease information was searched by searching Chinese Medicine Collection Database 4.0 and Chinese Medical Classics 5.0 about liver wind, convulsion, infantile convulsion, slow infantile convulsion, Chi Zong, Jin Ti Rou Yu, chronic spleen wind. Excel 2022 software was used to input the main symptoms, etiology and pathogenesis, treatment methods and prescriptions of each disease, and the frequency, property and taste, meridian tropism and efficacy of medication were analyzed. Gephi 0.9.2 software was used to analyze the complex network of Chinese materia medica data to find out the core drugs. SPSS Statistic 25.0 software was used for clustering analysis of high-frequency Chinese materia medica (top 50 in frequency ). SPSS Modeler 14.2 software was used to analyze the association rules of high-frequency Chinese materia medica based on Apriori algorithm. Results:Totally 692 ancient prescriptions were included, involving 436 kinds of Chinese materia medica. The top five in terms of frequency were: Scorpio, Cinnabaris, Moschus, Typhonii Rhizoma, Gastrodiae Rhizoma appeared the most frequently. The main property was cold, the main taste was pungent, and mainly into the liver, spleen, and heart meridians; the core drugs were Bombyx Batryticatus, Pinelliae Rhizoma, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Clustering analysis could be divided into 8 categories. Correlation analysis showed that Scorpio→Bombyx mori Linnaeus and Cinnabaris had the highest support, while Cinnabaris→Bovis Calculus→Moschus→Scorpio had the highest confidence.Conclusions:Ancient doctors believed that the disease location of TS-related diseases are mainly liver, heart, spleen and kidney, and the pathogenic factors were mainly wind, fire, phlegm, blood stasis and deficiency. The insect snakes used in prescription drugs are used to search for wind and eliminate pathogenic factors, the epigraphy is used to calm the nerves and calm the wind, and the herbs are used to soothe the wind, clear heat, calm the liver and dispel phlegm.

Objective We aimed to investigate the effect of ferroptosis on Shenling Baizhu Powder,a compound prescription of Chinese herbal medicine,in improving testicular spermatogenic function in hyperuricemic mice with spermatogenic dysfunction. Methods Sixty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,Shenling Baizhu Powder high-,medium-,and low-dose groups (20.14,10.07,5.04 g/kg,by gavage),and ferrostatin-1(Fer-1) group (0.8 mg/kg,by tail vein injection),with 10 mice each group. Except for the normal group,the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with potassium oxonate suspension[600mg/(kg·d)]for 7 days to establish the hyperuricemic model,and then the corresponding intervention was given for consecutive 14 days. Content of serum uric acid (UA),testicular Fe2+,reduced glutathione (GSH),malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected by biochemical method. Epididymal and testicular indices were measured. The spermatogenic function of testes was evaluated by eosin-hematoxylin staining. Sperm quality was detected by an automatic animal sperm analyzer. Prussian blue staining was used to detect iron deposition in testicular tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the related protein expressions of acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in testicular tissue. Western blotting was used to detect the related protein expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)/GPX4 signaling pathway in testicular tissue. Results Compared with the normal group,the contents of serum UA,MDA,and Fe2+in the testis tissue of the model group were increased,the GSH content and SOD activity were decreased,the epididymal and testicular index,testicular spermatogenic function,sperm density and activity rate were decreased,and the iron deposition and ACSL4 protein expression in the testis tissue were increased. The expressions of kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1) and Nrf2 were increased. The expressions of nuclear Nrf2,HO-1,GPX4,and recombinant solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) protein were decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group,the above indexes in the Shenling Baizhu Powder groups and the Fer-1 group were improved to varying degrees (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion Shenling Baizhu Powder can inhibit the ferroptosis of testicular cells through the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway,and improve the testicular spermatogenic function of mice with hyperuricemia spermatogenic dysfunction.
