Xuefu zhuyu decoction is a classic formula for promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, characterised by its remarkable ability to treat different diseases with the same approach. Qi stagnation and blood stasis, the primary syndrome for which this formula is indicated, has been found through modern medical research to be intrinsically linked to a wide range of pathophysiological processes, including microcirculatory disorders, abnormalities in hemorheology, inflammatory responses and endothelial dysfunction; which opens up vast scope for the innovative application of traditional formulas. In terms of pharmacological effect and mechanism, the formula exerts a synergistic regulatory effect across multiple key pathological pathways, including the regulation of coagulation function, the maintenance of vascular structure and function, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions, the mitigation of oxidative stress, and the modulation of programmed cell death (such as pyroptosis and ferroptosis). This systematically demonstrates its scientific rationale, which is based on integrated regulation through multiple constituents, multiple targets and multiple pathways. In terms of clinical application, the formula has expanded from cardiovascular diseases to multiple disciplines, including gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, urology, neurology, endocrinology, gynaecology and andrology, with evidence-based medical evidence continuing to accumulate. Current research still faces bottlenecks such as a relatively low level of clinical evidence, insufficient systems biology analysis of the mechanisms underlying the compound’s formulation, and a weak correlation between quality control indicators and therapeutic efficacy. Future efforts should focus on conducting multicentre randomised controlled trials for conditions where the formula demonstrates particular efficacy, deepening research into the relationship between integrated pharmacology and spectrum-efficacy relationship, and promoting the precise application and formulation innovation of classical herbal formulas.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection, develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP) during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria, data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis, LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling, and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled, with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease, indwelling gastric tube, mechanical ventilation, exposure to carbapenem antibiotics, and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection (P<0.05). The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations, respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease, indwelling gastric tube, mechanical ventilation, exposure to carbapenem antibiotics, and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.

The strategy of pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer(PCa)has been one of the research hotspots in recent years. This review synthesizes recent progress in clinical,diagnostic imaging and immunological aspects of pelvic lymph node dissection.It is found that the detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with localized intermediate-risk PCa is relatively low,and the survival benefit after dissection is not significant. PSMA PET/CT examination can be used instead of lymph node dissection for staging. Extended lymph node dissection in patients with localized high-risk PCa can achieve a higher detection rate of metastatic lymph nodes and possible survival benefits. However,excessive lymph node dissection can weaken the response ability to immunotherapy. The strategy for pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with localized intermediate-high-risk PCa needs further study.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a domestically developed robotic surgical system based on fiber-optic dedicated line communication in cross-regional urological telesurgery.Methods:This was multicenter,single-arm,retrospective case series study. The data of patients who underwent urological telesurgeries using the telesurgical system between January 2023 and December 2024 were analyzed. The cohort included 59 patients from seven hospitals across China. Among the patients,47 were male(79.7%)and 12 were female(20.3%),with a median age of 63.0(56.0,68.0)years and a body mass index of(24.7 ± 3.0)kg/m 2. Surgical procedures included 32 radical prostatectomies,24 partial nephrectomies,one radical nephrectomy,one adrenalectomy,and one ureteral reconstruction. The perioperative indicators,pathological results and postoperative complications were analyzed. The network monitoring data were collected,and the perioperative data of patients,remote system monitoring data and costs were compared between the two communication modes of optical transport network(OTN)and cloud-connect network(CCN). Results:All 59 remote surgeries were successfully completed,with a mean operative time of(138.0 ± 54.0)minutes,median intraoperative blood loss of 50.0(30.0,100.0)ml and a postoperative hospital stay of 5.0(4.0,6.0)days. No cases required reoperation,Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications,or readmission. The geographical distance between the primary and remote surgical sites ranged from 450 to 2 800 km. Network monitoring revealed increased bidirectional latency with distance increasing:the shortest latency time(Hefei-Hangzhou,450 km)was(16.59 ± 0.80)ms,while the longest(Harbin-Hangzhou,2 200 km)latency time was(53.31 ± 0.31)ms. Average frame loss per procedure was 0?1.27 frames. The results of subgroup analysis comparing OTN and CCN communication modes showed no significant differences in operative time[(130.7 ± 70.5)minutes vs.(142.1 ± 42.9)minutes, P = 0.442],postoperative hospitalization[6.0(4.0,8.0)d vs. 5.0(4.0,6.0)d, P = 0.581],or readmission rates(0 vs. 0). However,CCN demonstrated significant cost advantages with 500 RMB per operation vs. 3 000 RMB per operation for OTN. Conclusions:Urological telesurgery using fiber-optic communication is feasible. The CCN mode,with its cost-effectiveness,excellent usability,and multi-point interconnection flexibility,is currently the preferred communication model for telesurgical applications.

Objective To understand the membrane protein molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) in the region,and provide some evidence for rational drug use or application of efflux pump inhibitors. Methods Collected Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from four hospitals in the region from October 2022 to August 2023,and used SYBR-PCR method to quantitatively detect the relative mRNA expression (RE) levels of 10 membrane protein coding genes,including mexA,B,C,D,E,F,X,Y,and oprD,M. Then categorized the strains into five groups based on ceftazidime,cefepime,imipenem,and meropenem resistance phenotype combination,including the compassionate group (Group Ⅰ),Group Ⅱ with full resistance,IPM,MEM resistant,CAZ and CFP sensitive groups (Group Ⅲ),IPM resistance,MEM non-resistance (sensitive or intermediate) group (Group Ⅳ),IPM,MEM resistance,CAZ and CFP non-resistance groups (Group V).The median RE of each membrane protein-coding gene was analyzed. Results A total of 108 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected,with 24 strains in Group Ⅰ as controls and 84 strains in the carbapenem resistant group,including 32 strains in Group Ⅱ,22 strains in Group Ⅲ,13 strains in Group Ⅳ,and 17 strains in Group Ⅴ. The expression of mexD,mexE,mexF,mexX and mexY in the drug-resistant group was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (U=409.5~661.0,all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in mexA,mexB,mexC,oprD and oprM with the control group (U=767.0~1004.5,all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of RE genes encoding various membrane proteins among strains from different hospitals (H=0.914~7.407,all P>0.05). Among the four different phenotypes,there was no statistically significant difference in the irregular distribution of mexA and oprM RE between each group and the control group (UmexA=95.0~264.0,UoprM=143.0~331.0). The mexC RE in each group was lower than that in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (U=134.0~344.5,all P>0.05). MeixE and meixY RE were both higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (UmexE=48.0~230.0,UmexY=83.0~184.0). MeixB was lower than the control group in group Ⅳ (U=72.0),and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). MeixD and meixF showed consistent expression,with higher expression in groups Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (UmeixD=34.0~102.0,UmeixF=65.0~113.0). MeixX was expressed higher in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ compared to the control group (U=164.0,58.0,111.0),while oprD was only expressed lower in group Ⅲ than in the control group (U=140.0),with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Although the expression of oprD in groups Ⅱ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ was lower than that in the control group,the differences were not statistically significant (U=381.0,102.0,144.0,all P>0.05). Conclusion ExCD,mexEF and mexXY are the main membrane protein combinations of CRPA efflux pumps in Kunming area. Upregulation of mexD,E,F,X,and Y membrane protein expression enhanced efflux. The correlation between mexAB oprM efflux pump and carbapenem resistance in CRPA in this area was low. The low expression of oprD played a role in the efflux mechanism in strains that do not produce β-lactase,but there was no significant difference in low expression in enzyme producing strains.
