Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of external application and oral use of Herba Seu Radix Violae Japonicae(HSRVJ) for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis.Methods Sixty chronic osteomyelitis were randomized into the treatment group and the control group.The two groups received conservative routine antibiotic treatment.The treatment group received external application and oral use of HSRVJ additionally.Seven days constituted one treatment course,and the treatment lasted 6 courses.The changes of erythrocyte sedimentation(ESR) and C-reactive protein(CRP) were compared in the two groups before treatment and every 2 courses.Meanwhile,the clinical cure rate and the total effective rate were observed in the two groups.Results The cure rate was 46.67% and the total effective rate was 86.67% in the treatment group,and was 20.00% and 63.33% in the control group respectively.ESR and CRP decreased gradually every 2 courses in the two groups(P

Objective:To study the possibility of dengue virus E gene vaccine.Methods:The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 E was first transfected into NIH3T3 cells by lipofectin SDS PAGE and Western blotting analyzed the expression of E gene Then the recombinant plasmid was intramuscularly injected to BALB/c mice,and the specific humoral and cellular immunity were tested Results:The recombinant plasmid DNA could induce specific immune reactions and the immune response could last a long time Conclusion:The dengue virus E gene vaccine could induce specific immune reaction,which might have provided some material and new experimential data for the further study of dengue vaccines

Objective To investigate the pathogens inducing a posto perative nosocomial infection. Methods Specimens was collected fro m exudates or air for bacteria culture and identification. Re sults The postoperative infection was induced by staphylococcus x ylosus. Conclusions The relevant factors affecting the po stoperative nosocomial infection include incomplete sterilization of operative r oom and operative tools. Thus strict control measures must be put into effect.

Early diagnosis, accurate assessment, and localization of peritoneal metastasis (PM) are essential for the selection of appropriate treatments and surgical guidance. However, available imaging modalities (computed tomography [CT], conventional magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], and 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography [PET]/CT) have limitations. The advent of new imaging techniques and novel molecular imaging agents have revealed molecular processes in the tumor microenvironment as an application for the early diagnosis and assessment of PM as well as real-time guided surgical resection, which has changed clinical management. In contrast to clinical imaging, which is purely qualitative and subjective for interpreting macroscopic structures, radiomics and artificial intelligence (AI) capitalize on high-dimensional numerical data from images that may reflect tumor pathophysiology. A predictive model can be used to predict the occurrence, recurrence, and prognosis of PM, thereby avoiding unnecessary exploratory surgeries. This review summarizes the role and status of different imaging techniques, especially new imaging strategies such as spectral photon-counting CT, fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT, near-infrared fluorescence imaging, and PET/MRI, for early diagnosis, assessment of surgical indications, and recurrence monitoring in patients with PM. The clinical applications, limitations, and solutions for fluorescence imaging, radiomics, and AI are also discussed.

Our previous studies have confirmed that morroniside has neuroprotective effects. However, the effects of morroniside on cardiac myocardium remain unknown. Rats were anaesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (0.35~0.4 mL/kg) and an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was induced by ligating the anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Following AMI, morroniside was administered intragastrically for 3 consecutive days at doses of 45, 90 and 180 mg/kg, respectively. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) activities in AMI rats in the serum were detected with commercial kits. The expression of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in myocardium was detected by Western blotting analysis. We observed a significant decline in the Q(q) wave amplitude in morroniside-treated rats after 72 h. Additionally, treatment of morroniside decreased the levels of LDH and cTnT in AMI rats. We also observed that morroniside reduced the expression of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in myocardium. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that morroniside had effective anti-inflammatory properties in AMI rats.
