Objective:To propose the application of recognizing bone species by touching blindly (ARBTB) and verify its application effect in human anatomy experimental courses.Methods:The study included experiment 1 and experiment 2, and the research objects were 60 students majoring in clinical medicine in Batch 2019 and 60 students majoring in preventive medicine in Batch 2018, respectively. The research objects in each experiment were randomized into mainstream teaching method group and ARBTB group, with 30 students in each group. In experiment 1, after students studying for the same hours, both of two groups carried out the same test, and then the average scores of the two groups were compared. In experiment 2, the average time spent by the two groups of students in osteology learning was compared.Results:In experiment 1, ARBTB group's average score of the test was significantly higher than that of the mainstream teaching group ( P<0.001). In experiment 2, the ARBTB group took much less time in osteology learning than the mainstream teaching group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with the mainstream teaching method, ARBTB is more effective in osteology learning, which is worth popularizing.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health concern around the globe.Antimicrobial peptides exhibit broad-spectrum and efficient antibacterial activity with an added advantage of low drug resistance. The higher water content and 3D network structure of the hydrogels are beneficial for maintaining antimicrobial peptide activity and help to prevent degradation. The antimicrobial peptide released from hydrogels also hasten the local wound healing by promoting epithelial tissue regeneration and granulation tissue formation. Objective: This study aimed at developing sodium alginate based hydrogel loaded with a novel antimicrobial peptide Chol-37(F34-R) and to investigate the characteristics in vitro and in vivo as an alternative antibacterial wound dressing to treat infectious wounds. Methods: Hydrogels were developed and optimized by varying the concentrations of crosslinkers and subjected to various characterization tests like cross-sectional morphology, swelling index, percent water contents, water retention ratio, drug release and antibacterial activity in vitro, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected wound mice model in vivo. Results: The results indicated that the hydrogel C proved superior in terms of cross-sectional morphology having uniformly sized interconnected pores, a good swelling index, with the capacity to retain a higher quantity of water. Furthermore, the optimized hydrogel has been found to exert a significant antimicrobial activity against bacteria and was also found to prevent bacterial infiltration into the wound site due to forming an impermeable barrier between the wound bed and external environment. The optimized hydrogel was found to significantly hasten skin regeneration in animal models when compared to other treatments in addition to strong inhibitory effect on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α). Conclusions Our results suggest that sodium alginate -based hydrogels loaded with Chol-37(F34-R) hold the potential to be used as an alternative to conventional antibiotics in treating infectious skin wounds.

Purpose To explore the molecular features of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)with high expression of MYC.Methods The clinical data of 45 cases of DLBCL were collected.Immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to classify the patients into the group with high expression of MYC and the group with low expression of MYC.All samples were subjected to DNA targeted sequencing and molecular typing was performed using the LymphGen online tool.Cellular origin was determined by using the Lymph2Cx method.The correlation be-tween MYC overexpression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed by the x2 test and Fisher precise test.Survival curves were drawn and survival-related factors were analyzed u-sing Cox univariate and multivariate regression.ResultsCases were classified into DLBCL with high expression of MYC(n=17)and DLBCL with low expression of MYC(n=28).Com-pared to the group with low expression of MYC,the group with high expression of MYC had more PIM1,MYD88,CD79B,CD58 and PRDM1 mutations(76.5％vs 28.6％,70.6％vs 32.1％,58.8％vs28.6％,29.4％vs3.6％,29.4％vs 3.6％,P＜0.05),MCD were more frequently found(58.8％vs 10.7％,P=0.001),GCB were rarely found(17.6％vs 50.0％,P=0.030).Overall survival was significantly shorter in DLBCL with high expression of MYC(P＜0.05).Cox multi-factorial analysis showed that age was an independent prognostic factor for DLBCL(P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with high expression of MYC were frequently characterized as MCD and ABC,and PIM1,MYD88,CD79B,CD58 and PRDM1 muta-tions were common.Patients with high expression of MYC had a poorer prognosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of thalidomide,arsenic trioxide,dexamethasone and ascorbic acid(TADA)regimen in the treatment of early relapsed multiple myeloma(MM)patients(tumor progression within 12 months after initial treatment).Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 62 patients on TADA chemotherapy regimen and 57 patients on bortezomib,lenalidomide,dexamethasone(velcade,revlimid,dexamethasone,VRD)chemotherapy regimen for multiple myeloma(MM)in early stage relapse,who visited the Department of Hematology of Yanbian University Hospital between 2008 and 2020.We collected the general data profile,follow-up data during 3 courses of treatment,and laboratory data of all patients before and after chemotherapy.The efficacy of the patients was assessed by overall response rate(ORR)and complete response rate(CRR),and the occurrence of adverse reactions was collected for statistical analysis.Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted for the TADA and VRD groups under different renal function conditions,cytogenetically different risk stratification,and different ISS scenarios;the prognosis of patients on the TADA chemotherapy regimen was analyzed.Results There were no statistical differences in age,gender,immunochemical subtypes,ISS staging and high-risk FISH indicators between the two groups(P＞0.05).After chemotherapy,the haemoglobin and serum albumin of patients in the TADA group were significantly lower than those in the VRD group,whereas the percentage of blood calcium,blood β2 microglobulin,creatinine and bone marrow plasma cells were significantly higher than those in the VRD group(P＜0.05).In addition,the incidence of peripheral neuropathy was significantly lower than that in the VRD group(P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in other adverse reactions(P＞0.05).Compared with those in the VRD group,the overall survival(OS)(X2=8.201,P=0.004)and progression free survival(PFS)(x2=7.568,P=0.006)survival curves were statistically significant in the TADA group.In the TADA group OS(X2=3.924,P=0.048)in patients with normal and impaired renal functionat the time of enrolment and PFS(x2=9.008,P=0.003),OS(x2=9.330,P=0.002)and PFS(x2=16.090,P＜0.001)in ISS stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and ISS stage Ⅲ at enrolment,OS(X2=10.149,P＜0.001)in high-risk FISH and non-high-risk patients at enrolment and PFS(X2=11.286,P＜0.001)survival curve results showed statistically significant differences.Conclusion The TADA regimen has better efficacy and safety in patients with early recurrence of MM.Renal function,ISS staging and FISH stratification are important factors affecting patients'prognosis.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new combination treatment of vinorelbine and pyrotinib in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and provide higher level evidence for clinical practice. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial conducted at three institutions in China. Patients with HER2-positive MBC, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab plus a taxane or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab combined with a chemotherapeutic agent, were enrolled between March 2020 and December 2021. All patients received pyrotinib 400 mg orally once daily plus vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 intravenously or 60-80 mg/m2 orally on day 1 and day 8 of 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints included the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival, and safety. Results: A total of 39 patients were enrolled. All patients had been pretreated with trastuzumab and 23.1% (n=9) of them had accepted trastuzumab plus pertuzumab. The median follow-up time was 16.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3 to 27.2), and the median PFS was 6.4 months (95% CI, 4.0 to 8.8). The ORR was 43.6% (95% CI, 27.8% to 60.4%) and the DCR was 84.6% (95% CI, 69.5% to 94.1%). The median PFS of patients with versus without prior pertuzumab treatment was 4.6 and 8.3 months (p=0.017). The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were diarrhea (28.2%), neutrophil count decreased (15.4%), white blood cell count decreased (7.7%), vomiting (5.1%), and anemia (2.6%). Conclusion Pyrotinib plus vinorelbine showed promising efficacy and tolerable toxicity as second-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive MBC.

Asari Radix et Rhizoma （AR） is a traditional Chinese medicine with a history of more than 2 000 years of medication and has been included in ancient herbal works in the past dynasties. It is effective in releasing the exterior， dispersing cold， dispelling wind， relieving pain， opening orifices， warming the lung， and resolving fluids， and is still widely used in the clinical treatment of influenza， coronavirus disease-2019 （COVID-19） pneumonia， asthma， allergic rhinitis， eye pain， headache， toothache， oral ulcer， eczema， etc. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that AR has antipyretic， anti-inflammatory， analgesic， antibacterial， antiviral， relieving cough and asthma， anti-allergy， and other effects. AR contains a variety of chemical components， in which essential oil is not only associated with functions such as dispelling cold， relieving heat， relieving pain， and resisting inflammation and allergy， but is also toxic. AR also contains lignans， flavonoids， amides， phenanthrenes， alkaloids， and other non-volatile oil components， which play an important role in immunity regulation， anti-inflammation， pain relief， heart strengthening， and blood vessel expansion. The phenanthrene compounds are mainly aristolochic acid analogues， such as aristolochic acid Ⅳ_a and aristolochic lactam Ⅰ. Aristolochic acid Ⅳ_a has been proven to have a significant anti-inflammatory effect. The toxicity of AR is related to safrole， aristolochic acids and their analogues， and is also affected by many factors， such as preparation method， dosage， origin， collection time， medicinal part， and decocting time， which should be comprehensively considered in clinical application. Based on the relevant literature in China and abroad， the present study reviewed the correlation of chemical composition and pharmacological and toxicological effects of AR， and the safety of AR， aristolochic acid， safrole， and other components to provide a new perspective for an objective understanding of AR safety， as well as references for rational clinical application， production risk prevention and control， and drug scientific supervision of AR.

ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS^E） technique， we identified qualitatively the metabolites of aristolochic acid（AAs） in rat in order to analyze the metabolic differences between water extract of Aristolochiae fructus（AFE） and Aristolochic acid Ⅰ（AAⅠ）. MethodSD rats were selected and administered AFE（110 g·kg^-1·d^-1） or AAⅠ（5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） by oral for 5 days， respectively. Serum， urine and feces were collected after administration. Through sample pretreatment， ACQUITY UPLC BEH C₁₈ column（2.1 mm×100 mm， 1.7 μm） was used with the mobile phase of 0.01% formic acid methanol（A）-0.01% formic acid water（B， containing 5 mmol·L^-1 ammonium acetate） for gradient elution（0-1 min， 10%B； 1-7 min， 10%-75%B； 7-7.2 min， 75%-95%B； 7.2-10.2 min， 95%B； 10.2-10.3 min， 95%-10%B； 10.3-12 min， 10%B） at a flow rate of 0.3 mL·min^-1. Positive ion mode of electrospray ionization（ESI⁺） was performed in the scanning range of m/z 100-1 200. In combination with UNIFI 1.9.4.053 system， the Pathway-MS^E was used to qualitatively analyze and identify the AAs prototype and related metabolites in biological samples（serum， urine and feces）， and to compare the similarities and differences of metabolites in rats in the subacute toxicity test between AFE group and AAⅠ group. ResultCompared with AAⅠ group， 6， 10， 13 common metabolites and 14， 20， 30 unique metabolites were identified in biological samples（serum， urine and feces） of AFE group， respectively. Moreover， the main AAs components always followed the metabolic processes of demethylation， nitrate reduction and conjugation. Compared with common metabolites in AAⅠ group， prototype components of AAⅠ in serum and most metabolic derivatives of AAⅠ［AAⅠa， aristolochic lactam Ⅰ（ALⅠ）a， 7-OHALⅠ and its conjugated derivatives］ in biological samples were significantly increased in AFE group（P<0.05， P<0.01）， except that the metabolic amount of ALⅠ in feces of AFE group was remarkably lowed than that of AAⅠ group（P<0.01）. In addition， a variety of special ALⅠ efflux derivatives were also identified in the urine and feces of the AFE group. ConclusionAlthough major AAs components in AFE all show similar metabolic rules as AAⅠ components in vivo， the coexistence of multiple AAs components in Aristolochiae Fructus may affect the metabolism of AAⅠ， and achieve the attenuating effect by increasing the metabolic effection of AAⅠ and ALⅠ.
