Objective Toinvestigatetheimpactofthedifferentrupturepoints(sac,neck,andtop) of intraoperative aneurysm rupture (IAR)on the prognosis of patients in anterior circulation aneurysm clipping.Methods Theclinicaldataof135consecutivepatients(148aneurysms)acceptedmicrosurgical aneurysm clipping from May 2009 to March 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The prognostic evaluation of the patients after procedure was assessed by using the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). The different aneurysm rupture points of IAR were used as influencing factors,and the relationship between the different rupture pointsandtheprognosisofpatientswasanalyzed.Results Duringclippingof148aneurysmsin 135 patients,31 aneurysms in 30 patients had intraoperative rupture (20. 9% of the aneurysms, 22.2% of the patients). Nine rupture points occurred on the top of aneurysms,17 occurred on the sac,and 5 occurred on neck. The Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)scores 5,4,3,2 and 1 were in 17,8,2,1 and 2 patients,respectively. A total of 25 patients had good prognosis and 5 cases had poor prognosis. There were no significant differences in the impact of different rupture points of IAR on the prognosis in patients of IAR (OR,100. 00,95% confidence interval 6. 764-18. 344,P=0. 006). Of the 25 patients with aneurysm sac or top rupture,1 case had poor prognosis. Of the 5 patients with aneurysm neck rupture, 4caseshadpoorprognosis.Conclusion Inanteriorcirculationaneurysmclipping,thedifferent aneurysm rupture points may have significant impact on the prognosis of patients,the aneurysm neck rupture is a main factor for resulting in the poor prognosis of patients.

Objective To campare the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle acupuncture versus physical therapy in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).Method Fifty LIDH patients were randomized into a treatment group of 20 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group was intervened by wrist-ankle acupuncture, while the control group was by traction and interference electrotherapy. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and lumbar pain scoring system by Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) were compared before and after intervention.Result The SF-MPQ and JOA scores were significantly changed respectively after 5-day, 10-day, 15-day treatment as well as at the follow-up study in both groups (P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the two groups in comparing the SF-MPQ and JOA scores respectively after 5-day, 10-day, 15-day treatment as well as at the follow-up study (P>0.05).Conclusion Wrist-ankle acupuncture and physical therapy both are effective in treating LIDH, as they both can release the pain.

BACKGROUND:Abdominal incision healing is not only related with the patient’s own situation, but also closely related with the surgeon's suture technique, suture method, choice of stitches. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To compare the absorbable sutures and silk sutures for abdominal incision. ＜br> METHODS:Total y 153 colorectal cancer patients, including 91 males and 62 females, aged 30-82 years, were randomly divided into observation group (n=78) and control group (n=75). An abdominal midline incision was made in al patients receiving radical surgery of colorectal cancer. The Vicryl suture and silk suture were respectively used in the observation and control groups for abdominal incision closure. Suturing time, length of hospital stay, incision infection, disruption of wound, fat liquefaction of wound and rejection were compared between two groups. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The suturing time and length of hospital stay were less in the observation group than the control group (P＜0.05). In the observation group, there were three cases of incision infection, but no incision dehiscence and rejection occurred;in the control group, there were 10 cases of incision infection, 4 cases of incision dehiscence, and 5 cases of rejection. A significant difference was found in the incision infection, dehiscence and rejection between the two groups (P＜0.05). Hospitalization expenses and fat liquefaction of incision had no difference between the two groups. these findings indicate that the Vicryl plus as an absorbable suture is simple, effective and safe that can promote wound healing and reduce complications.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of digital technology in repairing wounds of the lower leg and foot with perforator pedicled propeller flaps.Methods Eighteen patients with wounds of the lower leg and foot were returned to the hospital for review and evaluated retrospectively.The wounds were repaired by using the perforator pedicled propeller flaps from January,2013 to February,2014.There were 11 males and 7 females,with an average age of 27 years (range,6-48 years).Including 6 cases of injuries caused by the spokes and the Achilles heel of soft tissue defects.Five cases of infection after internal fixation of calcaneal fractures induced skin necrosis,2 cases of dorsal skin defects caused by heavy injured,5 cases of foot and ankle soft tissue defects caused by car accidents.All wounds were associated with exposure of tendon.The wounds area were ranged from 2.5 cm×5.0 cmn to 4.0 cm× 15.0 cm.The course of disease was from 3 hour to 35 days.Computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed preoperatively,the appropriate perforator was selected and the CTA data were imported into the Mimics 15.0 software for the location of the perforator vessel and the design of the propeller flap,and simulate flap cut and transfer.The flap was obtained according to preoperative plan during operation.The flap size ranged from 4.0 cm×7.0 cm to 5.0 cm ×20.5 cm.These flaps included terminal branch of the peroneal artery perforator in 14 cases,posterior tibia artery perforator in 4 cases.All patients were followed up at regular intervals.Results The reconstruction of Mimics 15.0 software could confirm the perforator vessels origin,vascular distribution,diameter,and the cutting length.The rotation direction of the flap could be simulated preoperatively,which was consistent with the actual observation intraoperative.The donor sites were sutured directly.One case suffered from vascular crisis in 1 day was cured by the removal of part of the suture,massage and bloodletting.All cases were followed-up for 1 month to 16 months,and all flaps survived well and pediele were smooth with a satisfied appearance.The patient were extremely satisfied with the results for repair.Conclusion The preoperative individualization design of the perforator pedicled propeller flaps can be realized through CTA combined with Mimics 15.0 software.It can reduce the risk of operation.

Sepsis is a serious complication of infection, and its further development may lead to multi-organ dysfunction syndrome. Sepsis cardiomyopathy is a common complication of sepsis and has been directly linked to high mortality. Although the pathogenesis of septic cardiomyopathy is not fully understood, in-depth study of the pathogenesis of septic cardiomyopathy and the identification of its potential therapeutic targets may reduce mortality in patients with sepsis. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent mode of cell death that has been shown to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of many diseases. Some related studies have reported that ferroptosis may be a potential mechanism of septic cardiomyopathy. This review provides new insights into the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, xc-system, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), iron metabolism and the role of ferroptosiswith septic cardiomyopathy for further research and treatment of septic cardiomyopathy.

Objective:To investigate the value of combined detection of serum neurogranin (NG) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods:Ninety-seven patients with severe craniocerebral trauma from June 2018 to March 2020 in Jinshan Branch of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital were selected. According to the Glasgow outcome score (GOS), 97 patients were divided into good prognosis group (GOS>3 scores, 46 cases) and poor prognosis group (GOS ≤ 3 scores, 51 cases). The NG, HIF-1α, Glasgow coma score (GCS), acute physiology and chronic health status score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) were compared between 2 groups. The independent risk factors of prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic efficacy of NG and HIF-1α on poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation between serum NG, HIF-1α and APACHE Ⅱ in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was analyzed by Pearson analysis.Results:The GCS in good prognosis group was significantly higher than that in poor prognosis group: (6.50 ± 1.74) scores vs. (4.76 ± 0.78) scores, the NG, HIF-1α and APACHE Ⅱwere significantly lower than those in poor prognosis group: (696.98 ± 158.96) ng/L vs. (875.92 ± 188.52) ng/L, (34.72 ± 13.98) μg/L vs. (51.29 ± 14.17) μg/L and (15.69 ± 3.45) scores vs. (22.58 ± 6.45) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the NG, HIF-1α, APACHEⅡ, GCS and type of craniocerebral trauma were independent risk factors on the prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma ( P<0.05 or<0.01). ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of NG and HIF-1αNG and HIF-1α combined detection to assess the poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was significantly higher than NG and HIF-1α alone detection (0.873 vs. 0.772 and 0.821, Z = 2.276 and 1.949, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that APACHE Ⅱ was positive correlation with serum NG and HIF-1α in severe craniocerebral trauma patients with poor or good prognosis ( r = 0.852 and 0.889, P<0.01; r = 0.717 and 0.851, P<0.01). Conclusions:The combined detection of serum NG and HIF-1α can be used as an evaluation index for the prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma, which helps to determine the severity of craniocerebral trauma and has great value for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Diabetic nephropathy （DN） is one of the common chronic kidney diseases （CKD） worldwide and a major cause of end-stage renal disease （ESRD）， seriously threatening and affecting the life and health of the global population. Currently， the pathogenesis of DN is considered to be closely related to factors such as glucose metabolism disorders， abnormal lipid metabolism， oxidative stress， activation of inflammatory factors， autophagy， and cell apoptosis in the continuous high-glucose environment of the body. Renal fibrosis is an important pathological feature and ultimate pathological outcome of DN. Timely intervention in renal fibrosis is of significant clinical and practical importance for the prevention and treatment of DN. Due to the limitations of western medicine in treating DN， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention in the process of renal fibrosis in DN has been widely used as a routine and potential treatment method due to its multi-component， multi-effect， and multi-target effects， effectively delaying the progression of the disease. It has been found that the Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in the development and maintenance of homeostasis in the body， and abnormal activation of the Notch signaling pathway is associated with DN. Activation of this signaling pathway plays a key role in the process of renal fibrosis. This article reviewed the regulatory mechanism of the Notch signaling pathway in renal fibrosis in DN， focusing on the relationship between targeting Notch signaling pathway by Chinese medicinal monomers and prescriptions and renal fibrosis in DN in order to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new drugs， basic research， and clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of DN.

Diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， a chronic kidney disease with unique pathological structural and functional alterations in the kidney， is a common complication of diabetes mellitus （DM）. The majority of researchers believe that the occurrence of this disease is associated with glucose metabolism disorders， oxidative stress， inflammation， endoplasmic reticulum stress， autophagy， and disorders of lipid metabolism and exosome release. The mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway， which can maintain glomerular podocyte homeostasis and participate in autophagy， renal fibrosis， oxidative stress， lipid metabolism disorders， and inflammatory response in DKD， has been discovered to play a key role in DKD. Therefore， it has emerged as a novel target for the treatment of DKD. Studies have demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine can prevent the renal damage in DKD by regulating the mTOR signaling pathway to delay the disease progression and improve the prognosis and the quality of life of the patients. This article summarizes the structure and role of the mTOR signaling pathway in DKD and briefs the research progress in the prevention and treatment of DKD via this signaling pathway by the active components， extracts， and compound prescriptions of Chinese medicines， aiming to present new ideas and approaches for the clinical treatment of DKD with traditional Chinese medicine.
