Objective:To explore the effects of Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation combined with three-gap drainage on wound healing and serum inflammatory factors in patients with acute perianal abscess.Methods:Randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 117 patients with acute perianal abscess in the hospital were enrolled as the observation objects between August 2022 and May 2024. According to random number table method, they were divided into observation group (59 cases) and control group (58 cases). Both groups received three-gap drainage therapy. On basis of three-gap drainage, control group was given potassium permanganate, while observation group was given Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation. All patients were treated for 14 d. The growth of granulation tissue and wound secretions before and after treatment was evaluated. VAS scale was used to evaluate the degree of incision pain, and Wexner score was used to assess incontinence; ELISA was used to detect serum activator A (ACTA), immunoturbidimetry was used to detect serum CRP, and radioimmunoassay was used to detect serum IL-6 levels. The occurrence of complications and abscess recurrence during treatment was recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.61% (57/59), while that of the control group was 82.76% (48/58), with statistical significance ( χ2=6.10, P=0.014). After treatment, scores of granulation tissue growth and wound secretions in observation group, and scores of VAS and Wexner incontinence in observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t=9.66, 5.00, 7.98, 3.65, P<0.001), and wound healing time was shorter than that in control group ( t=8.41, P<0.001). After treatment, levels of serum ACTA, CRP and IL-6 in observation group were lower than those in control group ( t=15.30, 2.08, 19.34, P<0.01 or P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 6.78% (4/59), while in the control group it was 27.59% (16/58), with statistical significance ( χ2=8.93, P=0.003). Conclusion:Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation combined with three-gap drainage can relieve postoperative incision pain, inhibit inflammatory response, accelerate the recovery of wound and promote the recovery of anal function and improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of quality control circle(QCC)activities on the prevention of postoperative deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in inpatients in military hospitals.Methods A total of 318 patients who were diagnosed and treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January to December 2021 and 40 medical staff were enrolled in this study.Routine care was performed in 158 patients from January to June 2021,and QCC care was implemented in 160 patients from July to December 2021.The awareness of DVT prevention in medical staff and patients(or their famiy members)before and after QCC activities,lower limb DVT preventive measures taken by medical staff,and the occurrence of DVT were compared.Results The scores of the cause,clinical manifestations,nursing measures and preventive measures of DVT after QCC activities were significantly higher than those before QCC activities in both medical staff and patients(or their families)(P<0.05).The overall implementation rate of preventing lower limb DVT after QCC activities was significantly higher than that before QCC activities(94.14%vs.46.20%,P<0.05).The incidence of DVT after QCC activities was significantly lower than that before QCC activities(0.62%vs.5.06%,P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing QCC activities can improve the cognitive ability of military medical staff and patients(or family members)in DVT prevention,increase the implementation rate of DVT prevention measures,and reduce the incidence of DVT.

Objective To investigate the compressive relaxation behavior of cartilage in different regions of the knee joint at different strain rates,and construct the viscoelastic mechanics of cartilage in each region,so as to provide a reference for the prevention of cartilage-related diseases and the development of cartilage repair materials.Methods The knee cartilage of beagle dogs was regionally divided,and the uniaxial unconfined compressive relaxation properties of cartilage in each region were tested by a universal testing machine at different strain rates,and the constitutive models were constructed.Results The cartilage exhibited a notable stress attenuation.Furthermore,the normalized stress reduction increased significantly with increasing strain rate.For cartilage in lateral plateaus of tibia,the normalized stress reduction at strain rate 5×10-4 s-1 was 19%,and increased to 69%at strain rate 5×10-2 s-1.The relaxation equilibrium stress remained relatively constant at all strain rates.The Ogden-Prony viscoelastic model of cartilage in each region was developed with a goodness of fit R2>0.98.Conclusions The knee cartilage demonstrates a significant viscoelastic response in relaxation tests,exhibiting the rate-dependent and region-dependent properties.The Ogden-Pony viscoelastic model can reflect the strain rate-dependent stress relaxation behavior of cartilage.

As a cheap and effective antibiotic,sulfonamides are often used in animal husbandry.However,their residues in animal-derived foodstuffs will threaten human health.Consequently,a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method integrated with supramolecular solvent microextraction was successfully established for simultaneous quantification of sulfonamide residues sulfachlorpyridazine,sulfamethoxazole,sulfamethoxypyridazine and sulfadimethoxine in milk matrices.This approach exhibited prominent characteristics of operational simplicity,environmental sustainability,and high extraction efficiency.The supramolecular solvents prepared by tributyl octylphosphine tetrafluoroborate and tetrahydrofuran were employed as extraction solvents.The analytes underwent isolation and concentration via dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction(DLLME)prior to quantitative determination using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The composition and microscopic morphology of the supramolecular solvent were characterized through a series of analytical techniques,including phase diagram,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and inverted fluorescence microscopy and so on.The density and pH value of supramolecular solvents were determined.The extraction conditions were optimized through the one-factor experiments.The experimental results demonstrated that under the optimal extraction conditions,the four kinds of sulfonamide antibiotics exhibited excellent linearity within respective detection range(R2 ≥ 0.9998)and the limits of detection(LOD)were 0.67-1.45 μg/L.Compared with literature methods,this approach offered some advantages such as simplicity of operation and less reagent consumption,and could be used for analysis and detection of sulfonamide antibiotic residues in milk samples.The present method provided technical support for food safety regulation and paved a new way for the application of supramolecular solvents in the field of extraction and separation.

Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal condition characterized by reduced bone mass and strength, leading to increased fragility. Buqi-Tongluo (BQTL) decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has yet to be fully evaluated for its potential in treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis. To investigate the mechanism by which BQTL decoction inhibits osteoclast differentiation in vitro and validate these findings through in vivo experiments. We employed MTS assays to assess the potential proliferative or toxic effects of BQTL on bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) at various concentrations. TRAcP experiments were conducted to examine BQTL's impact on osteoclast differentiation. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were utilized to evaluate the relative expression levels of osteoclast-specific genes and proteins under BQTL stimulation. Finally, in vivo experiments were performed using an osteoporosis model to further validate the in vitro findings. This study revealed that BQTL suppressed receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast resorption activity in vitro in a dose-dependent manner without observable cytotoxicity. The inhibitory effects of BQTL on osteoclast formation and function were attributed to the downregulation of NFATc1 and c-fos activity, primarily through attenuation of the MAPK, NF-κB, and Calcineurin signaling pathways. BQTL's inhibitory capacity was further examined in vivo using an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model, demonstrating a strong protective effect against bone loss. BQTL may serve as an effective therapeutic TCM for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and the alleviation of bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency and related conditions.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and prognostic factors of combined rituximab and intensive chemotherapy for sporadic adult Burkitt lymphoma (BL) .Methods:This retrospective study examined the clinical and survival data of 30 patients newly diagnosed with BL between July 2011 and February 2023 at the Blood Diseases Hospital. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and the log-rank test was used for univariate analysis of prognostic factors.Results:The median age of the 30 patients was 43 years (24 - 66 years), and the male to female ratio was 3: 2. Extranodal invasion was present in 80% of the patients, with involvement of the bone marrow in 53.3% and central nervous system in 10.0%. The Ann Arbor stage was Ⅲ and Ⅳ in 86.7%. According to the number of Burkitt Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (BL-IPI) risk factors, patients were classified as low risk (0) in 20.0%, intermediate risk (1) in 43.3%, and high risk (≥2) in 36.7%. All patients were treated with an induction regimen of rituximab combined with intensive chemotherapy, with objective and complete response rates of 80.0% and 76.7%, respectively. The median follow-up was 49 months (6-153 months), and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were both (76.7±7.7) %. All patients with limited stage ( n=4) achieved continuous complete remission (CCR). Patients who had high risk, advanced stage sensitive to induction therapy ( n=10) sequentially received first-line autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) as consolidation therapy; 9 patients achieved CCR, whereas 1 patient with central nervous system invasion developed early disease progression and died. The BL-IPI low, intermediate, and high risk groups had respective 5-year PFS rates of (83.3±15.2) %, 100.0%, and (45.5±15.0) % ( P=0.0069) and OS rates of (83.3±15.2) %, 100.0%, and (45.5±15.0) % ( P=0.0075). The main adverse effects of induction therapy were myelosuppression and secondary infections, which were effectively managed by appropriate symptomatic treatment. Univariate analysis demonstrated that worse PFS was associated with BL-IPI score ≥2 ( HR=4.90, 95% CI 1.02-23.45, P=0.0329) ; extranodal invasion at ≥2 sites ( HR=12.62, 95% CI 2.59-61.62, P=0.0021) ; and failure to achieve first complete response (CR1) after induction therapy ( HR=31.86, 95% CI 4.19-242.20, P<0.0001) . Conclusions:Intensive immunochemotherapy regimens were effective and well-tolerated by adult patients with highly aggressive BL. Treatment efficacy was ideal in patients with limited-stage disease, whereas prognosis was unsatisfactory in patients with high-risk BL-IPI. Sequential first-line auto-HSCT consolidation therapy may further improve outcomes in patients with high-risk advanced-stage disease who are sensitive to induction therapy. BL-IPI score ≥2, extranodal invasion at ≥2 sites, and failure to achieve CR1 after induction therapy were adverse prognostic factors in adult patients with BL.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To explore the protective mechanism of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in a model of broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in mice exposed to hyperoxia.Methods:Neonatal rats were randomly assigned to four groups:air control group,hyperoxia injury group,Dex control group,and hyperoxia+Dex group,with six animals in each group.The air control and Dex control groups were exposed to ambient air,while the hyperoxia injury and hyperoxia+Dex groups were exposed to 90% O 2.The Dex control and hyperoxia+Dex groups received daily intraperitoneal injections of Dex at a dosage of 500 μg/kg.Lung tissue samples were collected after 7 days.Histomorphological changes in lung tissue were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining,and mitochondrial ultrastructural changes in type I epithelial cells of neonatal rat lung tissue were observed via transmission electron microscopy.The activity of Complex Ⅰ in neonatal rat lung tissue was assessed.The expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin in neonatal rat lung tissue were measured using quantitative PCR (qPCR).Western blot analysis was conducted to determine the protein expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin in lung tissues. Results:Under transmission electron microscopy,mitochondrial structures were intact in the lung tissues of both the air control group and the Dex control group.However,significant mitochondrial damage was observed in the hyperoxia injury group,while the hyperoxia+Dex group exhibited some relief from mitochondrial damage compared to the hyperoxia injury group.The activity of the oxidized respiratory chain Complex Ⅰ in the hyperoxia injury group was significantly lower than that in the air control group (4.824±0.804 vs.15.276±0.804, P<0.05) and the hyperoxia+Dex group(4.824±0.804 vs.9.648±0.804, P<0.05).After qPCR analysis,the expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin in the hyperoxia injury group were higher than those in the air control group(1.80±0.06 vs.1.00±0.07,2.10±0.14 vs.1.00±0.09, P<0.05),but lower than those in the hyperoxia+Dex group(1.80±0.06 vs.3.61±0.19,2.10±0.10 vs.4.24±0.43, P<0.05).Western blot analysis revealed that the expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin in the hyperoxia injury group were higher than those in the air control group(2.16±0.11 vs.1.00±0.01,3.82±0.13 vs.1.00±0.01, P<0.05),but lower than those in the hyperoxia+Dex group(2.16±0.11 vs.3.35±0.14,3.82±0.13 vs.5.48±0.15, P<0.05).There were no significant differences in mitochondrial structure integrity,Complex Ⅰ enzyme activity,or the expression levels of PINK1 and Parkin,as assessed by qPCR and Western blot analysis,between the air control and Dex control groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:Dex effectively mitigates mitochondrial ultrastructural damage in BPD model mice,enhances the activity of Complex Ⅰ in the oxidative respiratory chain,reduces mitochondrial damage,and increases the activation of the PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway,thereby promoting lung protection.
