ObjectiveTo assess the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine compound Shenlong decoction in addressing the symptoms of pulmonary deficiency and stasis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）. MethodsSixty eligible patients with lung deficiency and collateral stasis syndrome of IPF were randomly assigned to the observation （30 patients） and control groups （30 patients）. All patients underwent standard Western medical therapy. Additionally，the observation group received Shenlong decoction granules，while the control group received a placebo. Both treatments were packaged in four doses of 10.5 g each，taken twice daily for three months. The indexes of the patients during the treatment cycle were observed，and the main indexes include traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores and 6 min walk test （6MWT）. The secondary indexes include pulmonary function test ［actual value/expected value of total lung volume （TLC%），actual value/expected value of vital capacity（FVC%），actual/predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide（DLCO%），actual/predicted forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV₁%），and FEV₁/ forced vital capacity （FVC）］，blood gas analysis ［arterial blood diathesis partial pressure of oxygen （PaO₂），partial pressure of carbon dioxide （PaCO₂），and arterial oxygen saturation （SaO₂）］，serum inflammatory factors ［transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁），interleukin-4 （IL-4），interleukin-13 （IL-13），interleukin-12 （IL-12），and gamma-interferon （IFN-γ）］，and quality of survival evaluation ［St George's Respiratory Questionnaire （SGRQ） score］. The patients' clinical manifestations were determined at the end of the treatment， and the occurrence of adverse events was recorded. ResultsA total of 53 patients completed the study，comprising 27 in the control group and 26 in the observation group. Upon completion of the treatment period，the control group achieved a total effective rate of 33.33% （9/27），whereas the observation group demonstrated a total effective rate of 53.85% （14/26），which was statistically superior to the control group （χ²=4.034，P<0.05）. After the treatment，the TCM syndrome scores，6MWT，DLCO%，FEV₁%，PaO₂，PaCO₂，TGF-β₁，IL-4，IL-13，IL-12，and IFN-γ in the two groups were all significantly improved （P<0.01）. Compared with those in the control group after treatment at the same period，the TCM syndrome scores，6MWT，PaO₂，and PaCO₂ were significantly improved in the observation group after 60 days and 90 days of medication （P<0.01）. Three months after the end of medication，the SGRQ score in the observation group showed significant improvement when compared to that in the control group （P<0.05），and no severe adverse events were reported during the follow-up period. ConclusionCompound Shenlong decoction can alleviate clinical symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing in patients with lung deficiency and collateral stasis syndrome of IPF，enhance exercise tolerance，improve the quality of life，and have certain potential advantages in improving pulmonary function.

Objective To investigate the effects of low-to-moderate intensity treadmill exercise on pain and anxiety-like behaviors in rats with chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve(CCI),and to explore the neural mechanism of the exercise-related brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase B(TrkB)-cAMP-response element binding protein(CREB)pathway in relieving pain and anxiety behaviors in CCI rats.Methods Thirty-two D rats were divided randomly into four groups:sham group,CCI group,sham+exercise(Sham+Exe)group,and CCI+exercise(CCI+Exe)group.Rats in the exercise groups underwent treadmill training for 4 weeks.The paw withdrawal threshold(PWT)and paw withdrawal latency(PWL)were measured before and at different time points after the operation.The elevated plus maze(EPM)and open field test(OFT)were used to evaluate anxiety-like behaviors in the rats.mRNA and protein expression levels of BDNF,TrkB,and CREB in the hippocampus were detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western Blot,respectively.Results(1)The PWT and PWL on the operative side of the rats were significantly lower in the CCI compared with the sham group at 7,14,21,28,and 35 days after the operation(P＜0.001).The PWT on the ipsilateral side was significantly increased in the CCI+Exe group after 21 days compared with the CCI group(P＜0.05),and the PWL on the ipsilateral side increased significantly after 14 days(P＜0.05).(2)The EPM result showed that rats in the CCI group spent a significantly lower proportion of time in the open arms(P＜0.001)and significantly more time in the closed arms compared with the sham group(P＜0.01).Rats in the CCI+Exe group spent significantly more time in the open arms than the CCI group(P＜0.05).(3)The OFT result showed that rats in the CCI group spent a significantly lower proportion of time in the central area of the open field compared with the sham group(P＜0.001),while the percentage of time was significantly increased in the CCI+Exe group compared with the CCI group(P＜0.05).(4)BDNF,TrkB,and CREB mRNA and protein levels in the hippocampus were significantly lower in the CCI group compared with the sham group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Four-week treadmill exercise increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of BDNF,TrkB,and CREB in the hippocampus of CCI rats(P＜0.05).Conclusions Four weeks of treadmill exercise alleviates mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia and anxiety induced by chronic pain in CCI rats.Up-regulation of the BDNF/TrkB-CREB pathway may be one of the mechanisms by which exercise relieves chronic pain and improves anxiety.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective This study focused on the low voltage and low concentration contrast agent technology in vascular imaging of stroke patients.Methods Totally144 patients of ischemic stroke confirmed from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled.They were divided into four groups according to different imaging methods:conventional group(tube voltage 120kV,iodine concentration 370mgI/ml),low voltage group(tube voltage 80kV,iodine concentration 370mgI/ml),low concentration group(tube voltage 120kV,iodine concentration 320mgI/ml)and dual-low group(tube voltage 80kV,iodine concentration 320mgI/ml),the post-processing technology adopted ASiR algorithm for 3D reconstruction.Then to compare contrast signal-to-noise ratio(CNR)and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of the reconstructed image,image quality score,CT values of internal carotid artery(ICA),anterior cerebral artery(AA)A1,middle cerebral artery(MA)M1,posterior cerebral artery(PA)P1,vertebral artery(VA)and basilar artery(BA),mean iodine intake and radiation dose parameters including volume CT dose index(CTDIvol)and dose length product(DLP).Results The CNR and SNR values in dual-low group were significantly less than the other three groups(P<0.05),while image quality score and CT value of each artery were no differences among the four groups(P>0.05).What's more,CTDIvol,DLP and iodine intake volume in dual-low group were significantly less than the others(P<0.05).Conclusion The dual-low technology scanning could obtain satisfactory head and neck CT angiography for stroke patients.

For patients with partial jaw defects, cysts and dental implants, doctors need to take panoramic X-ray films or manually draw dental arch lines to generate Panorama images in order to observe their complete dentition information during oral diagnosis. In order to solve the problems of additional burden for patients to take panoramic X-ray films and time-consuming issue for doctors to manually segment dental arch lines, this paper proposes an automatic panorama reconstruction method based on cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT). The V-network (VNet) is used to pre-segment the teeth and the background to generate the corresponding binary image, and then the Bezier curve is used to define the best dental arch curve to generate the oral panorama. In addition, this research also addressed the issues of mistakenly recognizing the teeth and jaws as dental arches, incomplete coverage of the dental arch area by the generated dental arch lines, and low robustness, providing intelligent methods for dental diagnosis and improve the work efficiency of doctors.

All three algorithms demonstrated an identical F1 score of 91.00%.Conclusions:The CenterNet, YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 models are successfully constructed, and three recognition models can accurately identify the glottis in the image, with the CenterNet model demonstrating the highest recognition precision.

Objective:To investigate the safety and dose of 4D template (real-time adjustable angle template) in the treatment of advanced malignant tumors with 125I seeds. Methods:98 patients with advanced malignant tumors admitted to Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shaanxi Provincial Tumor Hospital were treated with 4D template-navigated radioactive 125I seed implantation from June 2018 to December 2019. Preoperative TPS plan, intraoperative optimization, postoperative verification of immediate dose and postoperative evaluation of implantation dose were performed. The treatment results were observed. Results:All 98 patients completed the seed implantation. The implantation dose of GTV of implantation site receiving external irradiation was (12 489±414) cGy and the dose of no external irradiation was (15 036±514) cGy. V 100% was 84.7%-94.1%, and 88.2%-93.7%. The implantation dose of CTV was (7 450±621) cGy, and (9 080±761) cGy. The quality of dose implantation was evaluated as: excellent in 89 cases (91%, 89/98), good in 7 cases (7%, 7/98), fair in 2 cases (2%, 2/98), and poor in 0 case, respectively. The symptom relief rate of patients with pain was 92%(36/39). The 1-and 2-year local control rates were 61%, 36% and 82%, 54% in patients treated with and without external irradiation, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.02). The incidence rates of pneumothorax and hemoptysis were 19%(9/48) and 10%(5/48). No corresponding complications were observed in other parts of the patients. Conclusion:4D template-assisted 125I seed therapy is safe and effective for malignant tumors, and intraoperative adjustment of needle angle and dose optimization can realize the precise control of implantation dose.

Results:1.In terms of external influencing factors of personality development: on the part of life events, the score of family affair in the patient group was higher than that in the control group( P<0.05) in childhood.In terms of upbringing, the scores of strictness (5.637±3.463) and punishment (6.275±4.565) in the patient group were higher than those ((4.341±3.092), (5.000±3.698)) in the control group in childhood( t=-2.703, -2.093, both P<0.05). 2.In the aspect of personality elements: (1) Among courage subscales, the scores of natural fear (7.686±3.441) and adaptability (15.000±5.321) in the patient group were higher than those((6.023±3.991), (12.841±6.070)) in the control group in childhood ( t=-3.085, -2.613, both P<0.05) .For all three stages, interpersonal fear scores in the patient group ((20.284±8.255), (22.804±7.458), (22.725±7.145))were all higher than those ((16.205±7.937), (19.841±6.319), (18.364±6.277))in the control group( t=-3.458, -2.929, -4.437, P<0.01). (2) Among interpersonal relationship, the dependence dimension scores were higher in the patient group (10.804±3.621) than those (8.830±4.850) in the control group during childhood( t=-3.205, P<0.01). (3) Among sex development, the scores of heterosexual communications (11.941±4.878), love concept (15.098±4.180) and sexual concept (8.892±2.988) were higher in the patient group than those ((9.125±5.040), (11.761±5.202), (6.943±3.288)) in the control group in adolescence(all P<0.01). (4) Among ego, the score of self-care dimension in the patient group (6.465±2.890) was higher than that in the control group(4.239±2.861) in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of autonomy, the scores of the patient group ((10.772±2.694), (11.347±2.621)) were higher than those in the control group ((8.011±4.039), (9.818±2.693)) in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (5) Among the way of thinking, the score of absolute thinking dimension in the patient group was higher than that in control group in childhood ( P<0.01). In the dimension of cautious, the scores of patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and adolescence (both P<0.01). (6)Among volition, the scores of decisive dimension in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence and youth (both P<0.01). In the dimension of consciousness, the score of patient group was higher than that in the control group in youth( P<0.01). In the dimension of insistence, the score of the patient group were higher than those in the control group in childhood and youth (both P<0.01). (7) Among worldviews, the scores of motivations, perspective of career and perspective of friendship in the patient group were higher than those in the control group in adolescence (all P<0.01). The score of value dimension in patient group was lower than that in the control group in the youth ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Patients with OCD have more strictness and punishment during their childhood in terms of upbringing.This leads to a lack of courage, poor interpersonal relationships, low self-care or autonomy, high attachment, absolutization of thinking and suppressing themself more in their childhood.In their adolescence and youth, their lack of courage, poor self-care or autonomy and the way of thinking cautious and stubborn will further aggravate and gradually show a more conservative sexual development and traditional world outlook.

Objective To investigate the spatio-temporal characteristics of normal gastric electrical activity.Methods From January 1st to February 29th,2016,fasting gastric electric slow wave signal was collected by high resolution mapping (HRM) under anesthesia before operation in patients without gastric lesions but needed laparoscopic surgery.Parameters of slow wave signal activity was calculated,gastric activity map and velocities was drawn and then spatio-temporal characteristics of gastric electrical activity of different part of the stomach were obtained.Independent sample t test was performed for comparison of two groups and one-way analysis of variance was used for multiple group comparisons.Results The normal gastric pacing zone located in the upper middle part of gastric body near greater curvature.Electrical activity of gastric body spread to gastric antrum along the long axis of the stomach.No slow signal was recorded in the gastric fundus and the gastric cardia.The frequencies of slow waves of different parts of gastric was same and the mean value was 2.61 ±0.11 cycle per minute.Compared with that of gastric body,the slow wave amplitude of gastric pacing zone was higher ((4.19±0.73) mV vs (1.67± 0.89) mV) and the speed was faster (7.24± 1.37) mm/s vs (4.94± 0.20) mm/s);the differences were statistically significant (t=18.89 and 4.95,both P＜0.01).The slow wave amplitude of gastric antrum was higher than that of gastric body ((3.21±0.49) mV vs (1.67±0.89) mV) and the speed was also faster ((6.44±0.82) mm/s vs (4.94±0.20) mm/s);the differences were statistically significant (t=4.85 and 4.95,both P＜0.05).The slow wave amplitude of gastric antrum was lower than that of pacemaker area ((3.21±0.49) mV vs (4.19±0.73) mV),and the difference was statistically significant (t =-3.67,P＜0.05);however,there was no significant difference in wave velocity ((6.44±0.82) mm/s vs (7.24±1.37) mm/s,P＞0.05).Conclusions The normal human gastric pacemaker is located in mid and upper corpus near the greater curvature,which produces slow wave and control whole gastric electrical activity.The amplitude and velocity of slow waves are in gradient changes in different gastric regions.HRM is a mature and reliable research method to study the spatio-temporal characteristics of gastric electrical activity,which provides the possibility for the study of abnormal gastric electrical activity.
