Objective To investigate the difference of effect between interventional treatments and intravenous therapy of lidamycin on VX2 rabbit liver cancer.Methods VX2 Carcinoma cells were surgically implanted into the left liver lobe of 12 New Zealand white rabbits to establish the VX2 rabbit liver tumor model.Tumor size was detected by type-B ultrasonic diagnostic instrument.The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups of six,respectively treated with the hepatic inter-ventional administration of lidamycin (LDM)(1 ml,0.05 mg/kg)under the guidance of digital subtraction angiography (DSA)(group A)and with the auricular intravenous administration of LDMat the same dose (group B).All the rabbits were sacrificed and anatomized on day 10 after treatment,whose liver tumor was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution and embedded in paraffin.Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)and CD34 expression in the sample sections of tumor tissue were assessed through immunohistochemical staining.The levels of alanine transaminase (ALT)and aspartate trans-aminase(AST)were detected by Cobas 8000.Finally,the inhibition of VX2 tumor was evaluated.Results The VX2 tumor volumes were all increased at 10 day after LDMtreatment.However,the tumors in group A were smaller than those of group B (P <0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the intervention therapy of LDM could further lower the expression of CD34 and PCNA compared to group B.Conclusion Hepatic interventional administration of LDM under the guidance of DSA produces a better effect on attenuating the tumor growth than the intravenous administration of LDM.

Objective To investigate the effects of melatonin (MT) on rats with acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning. Method Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups (each group 18 rats) and given the following treatment: intragastric injection of PQ at 50 mg/kg (PQ); intragastric injection of paraquat followed by intraperitoneal injection of MT at 10mg/kg once a day (MT); intragastric injection of normal saline (Control). Serum assays for malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glu tathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day post treatment. Clinical manifestations of poisoning and pathological changes in the lungs were also observed. Results Serum MDA levels were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01), and SOD and GSH-Px activities significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05) in the PQ group compared to the control group. Serum MDA levels were significantly decreased, and serum SOD and GSH-Px activities increased in MT group compared to the PQ group (P ＜ 0.05). Clinical manifestations of intoxication and pathological lung changes were also ameliorated in poisoned rats treated with MT. Condutions Administration of MT alleviates clinical manifestations of acute paraquat poisoning in rats by Limiting the damage from lipid peroxidation.

Objective:To explore the effects of resistance training with elastic band at home on muscle function and walking ability of severely burned children.Methods:A prospective non-randomized controlled study was conducted. From January 2022 to April 2023, 40 children with severe burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital. According to the willingness of the children or their families, the children were assigned to conventional rehabilitation group and combined rehabilitation group. During the study, 8 children dropped out of the study, 17 children were finally included in the conventional rehabilitation group with 6 males and 11 females, aged (8.5±2.4) years, and 15 children were included in the combined rehabilitation group with 5 males and 10 females, aged (9.6±2.5) years. The children in the 2 groups received conventional burn rehabilitation treatment in the hospital, including active and passive activity training, scar massage, and pressure therapy. The children in combined rehabilitation group received resistance training with elastic band of 3 to 5 times per week after discharge, and the children in conventional rehabilitation group received daily activity ability training after discharge. Before home rehabilitation training (1 week before discharge) and 12 weeks after home rehabilitation training, the grip strength was measured using a handheld grip dynamometer, the muscle strengths of the upper and lower limbs were measured using a portable dynamometer for muscle strength, lean body mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance measuring instrument, and the 6-min walking distance was measured. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, paired sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, or Fisher's exact probability test. Results:After 12 weeks of home rehabilitation training, the grip strengths of children in combined rehabilitation group and conventional rehabilitation group were (15±4) and (11±4) kg, respectively, which were significantly higher than (10±4) and (9±4) kg before home rehabilitation training (with t values of -9.99 and -11.89, respectively, P values all <0.05); the grip strength of children in combined rehabilitation group was significantly higher than that in conventional rehabilitation group ( t=3.24, P<0.05). After 12 weeks of home rehabilitation training, the muscle strengths of upper and lower limbs of children in combined rehabilitation group (with t values of -11.39 and -3.40, respectively, P<0.05) and the muscle strengths of upper and lower limbs of children in conventional rehabilitation group (with t values of -7.59 and -6.69, respectively, P<0.05) were significantly higher than those before home rehabilitation training, and the muscle strengths of upper and lower limbs of children in combined rehabilitation group were significantly higher than those in conventional rehabilitation group (with t values of 3.80 and 7.87, respectively, P<0.05). After 12 weeks of home rehabilitation training, the lean body mass of children in combined rehabilitation group was significantly higher than that before home rehabilitation training ( t=0.21, P<0.05). After 12 weeks of home rehabilitation training, the 6-min walking distances of children in conventional rehabilitation group and combined rehabilitation group were significantly longer than those before home rehabilitation training (with t values of -5.33 and -3.40, respectively, P<0.05), and the 6-min walking distance of children in combined rehabilitation group was significantly longer than that in conventional rehabilitation group ( t=3.81, P<0.05). Conclusions:Conventional burn rehabilitation treatment in hospital and home resistance training with elastic band for 12 weeks after discharge can significantly improve the muscle function and walking ability of severely burned children.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of methylprednisolone in preventing postoperative pulmonary infections in locally advanced esophageal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy.Methods A total of 89 patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects.All patients underwent thoracolaparoscopic radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group(n=45)and a control group(n=44)using a random number table method.In the observation group,one patient with intraoperative thoracotomy,two patients with extensive pleural adhesion,and one patient with preoperative upper respiratory tract infection were excluded.In the control group,one patient with extensive pleural adhesion and one patient with preoperative upper respiratory tract infection were excluded.As a result,a total of 83 patients were included in the study,with 41 in the observation group and 42 in the control group.Preoperatively,a neoadjuvant treatment regimen of paclitaxel(albumin-bound)+nedaplatin in combination with camrelizumab was given to patients in both groups for 2 cycles.Patients in the control group received conven-tional anti-infection treatment after surgery,while patients in the observation group were intravenously injected with methylpred-nisolone at a dose of 1 mg·kg-1 daily from the first to the third day after surgery.Postoperative inflammatory markers,incidence of postoperative pulmonary infections,incidence of anastomotic fistula,postoperative hospital stay,and total hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,procalcitonin(PCT),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),and interleukin-6(IL-6)levels of patients between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).On day 1 and 4 after treatment,patients in the observation group had significantly higher leu-kocyte count,neutrophil ratio,PCT,hs-CRP,and IL-6 levels compared to those before treatment(P＜0.05).On postoperative day 4,the leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,PCT,hs-CRP,and IL-6 levels were significantly lower than those on day 1 postopera-tively(P＜0.05).On postoperative days 1 and 4,the leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,PCT,hs-CRP and IL-6 levels of patients in the control group were significantly higher than those in the preoperative period(P＜0.05),and the leukocyte count,neutro-phil ratio and hs-CRP level were significantly lower on day 4 after surgery than on day 1 after surgery(P＜0.05);the differe-nces in PCT and IL-6 level of patients between day 4 after surgery and day 1 after surgery were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).On postoperative day 1,there were no statistically significant differences in leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,PCT,hs-CRP,and IL-6 levels between patients in the observation group and the control group(P＞0.05).On postoperative day 4,the leukocyte count,neutrophil ratio,PCT,hs-CRP,and IL-6 levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of pulmonary infections in patients in the control group and the ob-servation group was 30.9％(13/42)and 12.2％(5/41),respectively;the incidence of pulmonary infections in patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(x2=4.298,P＜0.05).The incidence of anasto-motic fistula in patients in the observation group and the control group was 9.76％(4/42)and 21.43％(9/42),respectively;there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(x2=2.140,P＞0.05).The postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in the control group than in the observation group(P＜0.05),and the total hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the control group than in the observation group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Methylprednisolone can effec-tively reduce the levels of inflammatory markers and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infections in esophageal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy before surgery.It is a highly safe treatment thera-py without increasing the incidence of anastomotic fistula.

This paper systematically analyzed the ancient monographs of acupuncture and moxibustion and comprehensive medical books from pre-Qin to 1911， and extracted the data according to the etiology and pathogenesis， treatment principles and methods， acupoint selection， needling and moxibustion， and taboos of needling and moxibustion. The pathogenesis of migraine in ancient books and documents is summarized as "the causes are diverse， and phlegm-dampness is the majority". For treatment， the features include "needling has a sequence， and the root and the branch should be treated separately" and "focusing on tonifying deficiency and drain excess". It is also obtained of the rich ideas of acupoints selection， extensive application records of moxibustion， unique application of bloodletting therapy and clear explanation of acupuncture and moxibustion taboos.
