Objective To observe the curative effect of modified Shenghua Decoction on promoting uterine instauration after cesarean section. Methods A total of 300 parturient cases receiving cesarean section were evenly randomized into observation group and control group. After cesarean section, patients of observation group were given modified Shenghua Decoction orally, and those of the control group were given intramuscular injection of oxytocin. The observation indexes included uterine retraction, the amount of lochia, and ultrasound examination for uterine instauration. Results (1) In the observation group, uterine contraction 72, 120 h after cesarean section was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). ( 2) Lochia stopping occurred in 137 ( 91.33%) cases of observation group and in 109 ( 72.67%) cases of control group within 42 days after cesarean section. The duration of lochia in observation group was shorter than that in the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) Five days after cesarean section, the sum of length, anteroposterior dimension, and transverse diameter of the uterus in the observation group was less than the control group, but the difference was insignificant (P>0.05). Forty-two days after cesarean section, the sum of the three uterine diameters in the ob-servation group significantly differed from that of the control group (P<0.05). (4) Forty-two days after cesarean section, the incidence of uterine cavity effusion was 6.67%in the observation group, and was 17.33% in the con-trol group, the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The modified Shenghua Decoction has certain curative effect on promoting uterine instauration after cesarean section.

Objective To investigate the application value of the carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125)and ovarian cancer risk pre-diction model(ROM A)in risk assessment for endometrial endometriosis patient in Yangchun area.Methods A total of 433 cases of endometrial endometriosis patient in 3 hospitals were selected as the objects of the retrospective research.ELISA method was used to detect the CA125 and human epididymis protein 4(HE4)levels before operation.ROMA formula was used to calculate the RO-MA index cutoff value,correlation between CA125 level and ROMA index cutoff value and staging of endometriosis cysts and post-operative pregnancy rate was analyzed,and the CA125 level and ROMA index cutoff value in endometriosis risk assessment were discussed.Results The endometrial cyst stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,the serum CA125 level and the ROMA index truncation value of the preg-nant women were lower than those of the non pregnant women,and there is a statistically significant difference in comparison(P<0.05);the serum CA125 level and ROMA index cutoff value and staging of ovarian endometriosis cyst showed a positive correlation (r=0.986 2,0.988 3;P<0.05);the level of serum CA125 and the truncated value of ROMA index were negatively correlated with the pregnancy rate of patients with endometriosis(r=0.597 5,0.952 8;P<0.05);the accuracy,specificity,sensitivity,positive and negative prediction value and diagnostic coincidence rate of ROMA index in patients with endometriosis after operation were higher than those of CA125(P<0.05).Conclusion CA125 and ROMA index can be used for risk assessment of patients with endometrio-sis and assessment of postoperative pregnancy risk,but the evaluation value of ROM A index is better than that of CA 125.

Objective To investigate the phenotype and function of CD8+T cells cultured with SK-OV-3. Methods Transwell coculture experiments were conducted in 24-well plates with inner wells to separate CD8+ T cells and SK-OV-3. After 5 days of culture, CD8+ T cells were washed, and 1 × 106 cells were collected for Foxp3, CD25, CD28, CTLA-4 and GITR mRNA analysis and 2 × 106 cells were collected to detect expression of Foxp3, CD25, CD28, CTLA-4 and GITR in CD8+ T cells by flow cytometry. CD8+T cells that cultured alone or with SK-OV-3 were added at ratios of 1∶0 , 1∶1 , 1∶5 , 1∶10 , and 0∶1 to na?ve CD4+ T cells in 96-well plates. All wells were cultured with the presence of irradiated PBMCs and anti-CD3 antibody. After 72 h, [3H]-thymidine was added for 16 h prior to the determination of proliferation by scintillation counting. Results Compared with CD8+ T cells cultured without SK-OV-3 , the expression of Foxp3 and CTLA-4 was increased and CD28 expression was decreased in CD8+ T cells cultured with SK-OV-3 (both P < 0.001). We found that CD8+T cells cultured with SK-OV-3 significantly suppressed the na?ve CD4+ T cell proliferation induced by the anti-CD3 stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, CD8+ T cells cultured without SK-OV-3 did not suppress na?ve CD4+ T cell proliferation. Conclusion Ovarian cancer cell can induce the suppressive CD8+Treg, which is an important link of the immunosuppressive microenvironment in ovarian cancer.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma (DLBCL). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 82 patients with DLBCL treated at Tianjin Union Medi-cal Center between June 2010 and June 2016. The optimal cutoff value of PNI was determined using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Youden index. The relationship of high and low PNI with the clinical characteristics of the patients, therapeutic ef-ficacy, and prognosis were analyzed. Results: Overall, mean PNI of the patients was 46.17±8.8. When the PNI was 44.15, the Youden in-dex was found to be maximal, with a sensitivity of 74.6% and specificity of 67.2%. There were 38 patients (46.3%) in the low PNI group (<44.15) and 44 patients (53.7%) in the high PNI group (≥44.15). Data analysis showed that PNI was correlated with Eastern Coopera-tive Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS), Ann Arbor stage, international prognostic index (IPI) score, and lactic acid dehydro-genase (LDH) level (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the low PNI group was significantly lower than that of the high PNI group (65.8% vs. 86.4%; χ2=4.848; P=0.028). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of the entire group of patients was 69.1%. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates of the low PNI group (86.8%, 67.8%, and 56.9%, respectively) were significantly lower than that of the high PNI group (96.7%, 89.5%, and 80.2%, respectively; χ2=9.421, P=0.002). Univariate analysis showed that PNI<44.15, ECOG PS≥2, IPI>2, stageⅢ/Ⅳ, and lymphocyte count<1.0×109/L had a significant impact on predicting OS (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that PNI<44.15 (P=0.006) and stageⅢ/Ⅳ(P=0.011) were independent factors for predicting OS. Conclusions: PNI might be used as a simple and feasible clinical prognostic indicator in patients with DLBCL.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer by investigating the function of Toll-like receptor 1 (TLR1),TLR2 and TLR6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) from patients with ovarian cancer.Methods PBMC,SK OV 3 co culture system and anti-TLR1,anti-TLR2,anti-TLR6 mAb blocking experiment were used to explore the relationship between TLR1,TLR2 or TLR6 signaling and inflammation in ovarian cancer.Quantitative real time PCR was used to measure interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-8,and tumor necrosises factor(TNF)-α in the PBMC.MyD88,TRAF6,TANK,NF-κB and P-NFκB were observed by Western blotting.Results In the PBMC and SK-OV-3 coculture system,we found the activation of TLR signaling pathways,including significantly increased MyD88,TRAF6,TANK and P-NF-κB levels following cocultured with SK-OV-3 in PBMC from ovarian cancer patients.PBMC derived from ovarian cancer patients led to a increase in IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA levels after 24 hours of co-incubation with SK-OV-3 (Fold=1.74,Fold=1.92,Fold=1.65,P＜0.05),though there was no difference of TNF-a mRNA expression.In contrast to the ovarian cancer patients,coculture of PBMC derived from benign diseases controls and healthy normal controls decreased IL-1β at the mRNA level (Fold=0.71,P＜0.05;Fold=0.72,P＜0.05),furthermore the expression of MyD88,TRAF6,TANK,P-NF-κB,and NF-κB showed no changes.PBMC which treated with anti-TLR1,anti-TLR2 or-TLR6 mAb could inhibite inflammatory IL-1β (Fold=0.16,Fold=0.31,Fold=0.29,P＜0.05) and IL-6 (Fold=0.14,Fold=0.20,Fold=0.28,P＜0.05).Conclusion TLR1/TLR2/TLR6 in PBMC of ovarian cancer patients participate in the recognition of the factors.

Objective:To compare the in vitro antibacterial activities of Cefpodoxime proxetil and Cefixime against common pathogens of community acquired pneumonia in children, and to provide basis for guiding the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice. Methods:The pathogens of 100 cases of community acquired pneumonia in Children′s Hospital of Jiangxi Province from June 2018 to October 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.The sensitivity and resis-tance of these pathogens to Cefpodoxime proxetil and Cefixime were measured separately by the broth dilution method (tube) recommended by the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), and the results were compared.Results:(1)The 50% minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC 50) and MIC 90 values of Cefpodoxime proxetil to Streptococcus, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis were all within the sensitive range, showing that Cefpodoxime proxetil had a strong antibacterial effect.The MIC 50 values of Cefixime to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza were within the sensitive range, while the MIC 90 values showed that these two types of bacteria were resistant to Cefixime.The remaining bacteria were resistant to Cefpodoxime proxetil and Cefixime to varying degrees.(2)The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) ranges of Cefpodoxime proxetil to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae were significantly lower than those of Cefixime to these two types of bacteria, indicating that Cefpodoxime proxetil had stronger bactericidal activities than Cefixime.The MBC 50 and MBC 90 values of the two drugs to Moraxella catarrhalis, β-Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus lactis were still within the sensitive range of MIC, suggesting that both drugs had a strong bactericidal effect.The remaining bacteria showed resistance to the two drugs to varying degrees.(3)The sensitivity rates of 100 selected pathogens to Cefpodoxime proxetil and Cefixime were 70.00% (70/100 strains) and 57.00% (57/100 strains), respectively.The resistance rates of the 100 pathogens to the two drugs were 22.00% (22/100 strains) and 39.00% (39/100 strains), respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=7.40, P=0.03). Conclusions:Cefpodoxime proxetil has high sensitivity to common pathogens of children with community-acquired pneumonia, so it can be used as the initial empirical treatment of respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.It is also an appropriate sequential antibiotic therapy for common respiratory tract bacterial infection in children.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of parallel combined flow-through perforator flaps in the treatment of circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From April 2016 to December 2022, 4 cases with circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the 988 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA, including 3 males and 1 female, aged from 24 to 48 years. Among them, 2 cases were injured in the calf and 2 cases were injured in the forearm. After emergency debridement, the area of skin and soft tissue defects was from 20 cm×20 cm to 44 cm×20 cm. The patients had defects in tibialis anterior and posterior tibial arteries with a length of 13 to 18 cm, and in ulnar and radial arteries with a length of 9 to 12 cm. Flaps were designed and cut, including a flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap with area of 20 cm×9 cm to 24 cm×21 cm carrying the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying veins of 8 to 18 cm in length; and a flow-through posterior tibial artery perforator flap with area of 21 cm×13 cm and 20 cm×14 cm carrying the posterior tibial artery, the accompanying veins with a length of 14 and 17 cm respectively, and the great saphenous vein with a length of 22 and 21 cm. The circular hot crush injury wounds in the calf with blood supply disorder were repaired by a parallel combination of flow-through posterior tibial artery perforator flap and flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap, and the circular hot crush injury wounds in the forearm with blood supply disorder were repaired by a parallel combination of bilateral flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap, and the injured main vessels were reconstructed. The donor site wounds of flap were closed directly or treated with split-thickness skin grafts from abdomen. After surgery, the blood supply and survival of the flap and distal affected limb, the healing of wounds in the donor and recipient sites, the survival of the skin graft in the flap donor site were observed. During follow-up, the condition of flaps, the appearance, blood supply, and function of affected limbs were observed. At the last follow-up, the foot and ankle functions were evaluated according to the scoring standards of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association, and the wrist and hand function was evaluated according to the trial standard of replantation of amputated upper limb function assessment of the Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association. Results:The flaps and distal affected limbs of 4 patients had good blood circulation and successfully survived after surgery. The wounds of 3 cases successfully healed, while one patient with circular hot crush injury in the forearm experienced exudation in the recipient site in the later stage, and the wound healed after re-expansion and suturing. The donor site wounds healed smoothly, and the skin grafts successfully survived. During follow-up of 12 to 24 months after surgery, the flaps were slightly swollen, the limbs had good appearance, normal blood circulation, and fine functional recovery. At the last follow-up, the foot and ankle function of 2 patients with circular hot crush injuries in the calf was evaluated as good in 1 case and commonly in 1 case; the wrist and hand function of 2 patients with circular hot crush injuries in the forearm was evaluated as excellent in 1 case and good in 1 case.Conclusions:The parallel combined flow-through perforator flap can reconstruct the damaged main blood vessels and repair the wound at the same time. It can not only effectively save the limb, but also restore part of the function of the affected limb. It is one of the effective methods to treat the circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder.

The damage and death of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)are central pathological events in optic nerve injury, leading to irreversible visual impairment. Autophagy, a regulated process of cellular degradation and death, is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including tumors, neurological damage, and autoimmune disorders. Current research indicates that autophagy is significantly upregulated following optic nerve injury, exhibiting a dual role: while it may mediate cellular damage in the early stages, it tends to promote neuroprotection and axonal regeneration in later phases. Moreover, the activation of autophagy in microglia may play a crucial role in regulating their activation phenotype and neuroinflammation. Precisely modulating autophagy to promote RGCs survival and improve visual function has become a key challenge in the treatment of optic nerve injury. This review summarizes the role of autophagy in optic nerve injury and its therapeutic interventions.
