Objective To analyze the pathogenesis and prevention and treatment of limb deep venous thrombosis complicated by postoperative gynaecological malignant tumours.Methods A retrospective analysis of 22 cases with limb deep venous thrombosis complicated by postoperative gynaecological malignant tumours in our hospital were analyzed.According to the situation of patients,surgery or conservative treatment was conducted.The clinical efficacy after treatment was observed.Results In 22 cases,6 cases underwent surgical treatment,16 cases underwent conservative treatment.After treatment,18 cases were cured,3 cases were effective,1 case ineffective.After treatment,the TT,Pt,APTT and FBG levels were (24.17 ±2.13)s,(18.25 ±2.13)s,(31.68 ± 10.30)s and (2.26 ±0.52) g/L,which were all better than before treatment,the differences were statistically significant (t =10.362,9.774,12.281,8.462,P =0.028,0.032,0.012,0.029).Followed up for 3 months,no recurrence of LDVT was observed.Conclusion The cases of gynecological malignant tumor have higher risk of limb deep vein thrombosis,we should taken prevention actively,once diagnosed should take effective intervention measures to improve the prognosis.

Objective To analyze the correlation between ≥grade 2 radiation pneumonitis (RP) and dose volume parameters of elderly patients with esophageal cancer after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. Methods We collected the data of 250 elderly patients with esophageal cancer who received three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy from different medical centers. The clinical features of patients were analyzed by Chi-square test while dose volume parameters were analyzed by Logistic univariate and multivariate analyses. ROC curve was used to determine the best cut-off value. Results After three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, 20% of patients developed ≥grade 2 RP. Univariate analysis showed that bilateral pulmonary V5, V10, V20, V30 and mean lung dose were associated with ≥grade 2 RP but multivariate analysis revealed that only V5 and V20 were independent relevant factors of RP. ROC curve indicated that the best cut-off value was V5 < 52.9% and V20 < 23.2%. Conclusion Bilateral pulmonary V5 and V20 are independently related to ≥grade 2 RP in elderly patients with esophageal cancer after 3-D conformal radiotherapy.

Alkaloids are a class of naturally occurring bioactive compounds that are widely distributed in various food sources and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of alkaloid extract from Codonopsis Radix (ACR) in ameliorating hepatic lipid accumulation in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The results revealed that ACR treatment effectively mitigated the abnormal weight gain and hepatic injury associated with HFD. Furthermore, ACR ameliorated the dysregulated lipid metabolism in NAFLD mice, as evidenced by reductions in serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein levels, accompanied by a concomitant increase in the high-density lipoprotein level. ACR treatment also demonstrated a profound anti-oxidative effect, effectively alleviating HFD-induced oxidative stress and promoting ATP production. These effects were achieved through the up-regulation of the activities of mitochondrial electron transfer chain complexes I, II, IV, and V, in addition to the activation of the AMPK/PGC-1α pathway, suggesting that ACR exhibits therapeutic potential in alleviating the HFD-induced dysregulation of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Moreover, ACR administration mitigated HFD-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and suppressed the overexpression of ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) in NAFLD mice. In summary, the present study provides compelling evidence supporting the hepatoprotective role of ACR in alleviating lipid deposition in NAFLD by improving energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress and ER stress. These findings warrant further investigation and merit the development of ACR as a potential therapeutic agent for NAFLD.
