Objective To investigate the efficiency of intraclot microbubbles (MB) combined with urokinase (UK) mediated ultrasound (US) thrombolysis.Metho ds Fifty clots prepared by bovine whole blood were equally divided into 5 groups and were treated in a circulation system with collateral circulation tube.The clots were treated by US,MB and UK in group 1,by US and MBingroup 2,by US and UK in group 3 and by UK in group 4.The group5 was the control group without any treatment.The thrombolysis rate of each group was measured and compared.Residual clots were histologically observed with hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunofluorescence.Results The thrombolysis rate of group 1 ([73.64±14.16]%) was significantly higher than group 2 ([47.97± 11.66]%),group 3 ([57.33±8.65]%),group 4 ([50.85±9.63]%),and group 5 ([29.76±18.06] %,all P<0.05).Histological examination of the clots in group 1 showed multiple thrombolysis foci with clots collapse,and the degradation of fibrin network was further confirmed by immunofluorescence.Conclusion The intraclot MB mediated US thrombolysis combined with UK can enhance the rate of thrombolysis in vitro experiment.

OBJECTIVEThe present study is to investigate the protective effects of asiaticoside on sepsis-induced acute kidney injury in mice.
METHODWith the sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), forty eight kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups as sham operated, CLP treated, CLP + asiaticoside 15, 45 mg x kg(-1) groups. General conditions and the amount of dead rate of mice were observed. The BUN and Cr levels were observed by the kits. IL-6 in serum was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Kidney tissues were harvested for determination of iNOS expression by Western blotting analysis. The pathologic changes were observed under electron microscope via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain.
RESULTCompared with CLP group, the death rate, the levels of BUN, Cr, IL-6, and iNOS protein expression of asiaticoside groups were significantly reduced. The pathologic changes in kidney tissues induced by sepsis were significantly attenuated dose-dependently by asiaticoside under electron microscope.
CONCLUSIONAsiaticoside has protective effects against sepsis-induced acute kidney injury, which were probably associated with the inhibition of IL-6 in serum and iNOS protein in kidney tissues.

Tumor microenvironments (TMEs) are closely related to tumor resistance. TMEs are divided into cellular components and acellular components. The cellular components include tumor-associated macrophages, tumor-associated fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, etc., which can enhance tumor resistance through recruitment and secretion of a variety of protective cytokines; acellular components such as extracellular matrix, hypoxia and acidification, etc., can mediate drug resistance by constructing physical barriers, affecting tumor cell growth and metabolism. Studying the mechanisms of TME-mediated drug resistance and reshaping TMEs can provide new strategies for anti-tumor therapy.

Reflux Esophagitis (RE) is a gastroesophageal motility disorder mainly caused by lower esophageal sphincter disorder caused by a variety of injury factors, acid-suppressing drugs such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are often used clinically. With the increase of PPIs-resistant reflux esophagitis cases, the demand for the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of acid-suppressing drugs is higher. In recent years, the emergence of a new class of acid-suppressing drugs, potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), has solved some clinical deficiencies of traditional proton pump inhibitors. It has the characteristics of effective, longer-lasting acid suppression, the inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion is not affected by the state of gastric acid secretion, the individual differences in drug metabolism and efficacy are smaller, and the drug efficacy is not affected by food intake or not. It has obvious advantages in the efficacy of severe erosive esophagitis and PPIs-resistant severe erosive esophagitis, and is more cost-effective, and is expected to replace PPI as the first-line treatment for reflux esophagitis.

Objective:To explore the effect of core stability training on rehabilitation of patients after lumbar fusion.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, 90 patients with lumbar fusion admitted to Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into control group and training group according to the method of random number table, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing, while the training group carried out postoperative core stability training nursing. The rehabilitation effects of the two groups were observed.Results:The scores of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) in the training group were lower than those in the control group at 2, 4, 12 and 24 weeks postoperatively, and the difference were statistical ( P<0.05) . The scores of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in the training group 12 and 24 weeks after operation were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The core stability training nursing is helpful to improve the functional recovery after lumbar fusion, reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and then increase the rehabilitation effect of patients.

Seasonal influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection and complications from infection. Currently, China has licensed trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), including split-virus influenza vaccine and subunit vaccine. Except for a few major cities, influenza vaccine is a category Ⅱ vaccine, which means influenza vaccination is voluntary, and recipients must pay for it. To strengthen the technical guidance for prevention and control of influenza and operational research on influenza vaccination in China, the National Immunization Advisory Committee (NIAC) Influenza Vaccine Technical Working Group (TWG), updated the 2014 technical guidelines and compiled the "Technical guidelines for seasonal influenza vaccination in China (2018-2019)" . The main updates in this version include: epidemiology, disease burden, types of influenza vaccines, northern hemisphere influenza vaccination composition for the 2018-2019 season, IIV3 and IIV4 immune response, durability of immunity, immunogenicity, vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit. The influenza vaccine TWG provided the recommendations for influenza vaccination for the 2018-2019 influenza season based on existing scientific evidence. The recommendations described in this report include the following: Points of Vaccination clinics (PoVs) should provide influenza vaccination to all persons aged 6 months and above who are willing to be vaccinated and do not have contraindications. No preferential recommendation is made for one influenza vaccine product over another for persons for whom more than one licensed, recommended, and appropriate product is available. To decrease the risk of severe infections and complications due to influenza virus infection among high risk groups, the recommendations prioritize seasonal influenza vaccination for children aged 6-59 months, adults ≥60 years of age, persons with specific chronic diseases, healthcare workers, the family members and caregivers of infants <6 months of age, and pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant during the influenza season. Children aged 6 months through 8 years require 2 doses of influenza vaccine administered a minimum of 4 weeks apart during their first season of vaccination for optimal protection. If they were vaccinated in 2017-2018 influenza season or a prior season, 1 dose is recommended. People more than 8 years old require 1 dose of influenza vaccine. It is recommended that people receive their influenza vaccination by the end of October. Influenza vaccination should be offered as soon as the vaccination is available. For the people unable to be vaccinated before the end of October, influenza vaccination will continue to be offered for the whole season. Influenza vaccine is also recommended for use in pregnant women during any trimester. These guidelines are intended for use by staff members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at all levels who work on influenza control and prevention, PoVs staff members, healthcare workers from the departments of pediatrics, internal medicine, and infectious diseases, and staff members of maternity and child care institutions at all levels.
