Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of durian peel extracts (DPE). Methods The in vivo anti-inflammation effects of DPE were examined by carrageenin-induced mice paw edema test and allergic contact dermatitis test induced by 2, 4-DNFB. And the in vitro anti-inflammation effects of DPE were evaluated with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay in RAW 264.7 cell model of inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Results The results of animal experiments showed that DPE groups could markedly relieve mice paw edema induced by carrageenin ( P<0.01 or P<0.001 compared with blank group). DPE could effectively inhibit the allergic contact dermatitis induced by 2, 4-DNFB in mice, showing good dose-effect relationship. The results of in-vitro test showed that DPE at the given concentrations had no influence on RAW 264.7 cell proliferation. Tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin 6 ( IL-6) , interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), nitric oxide (NO) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-кВ ) were observably inhibited, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was enhanced by 25 and 50 mg/L of DPE. Conclusion DPE exert potential anti-inflammation effect, and the mechanism might be related to its inhibition of NF-кВsignal pathway.

Objective To study effect of high ilioinguinal approach in treatment of acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate. Methods 28 cases of acetabular fractures were randomly divided into two groups according to admission time. 16 patients in the observation group were given high ilioinguinal approach operation. 12 patients in the control group were treated with traditional ilioinguinal approach op-eration. Operation condition, fracture reduction, the hip function recovery and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results The amount of bleeding, the length of incision, operation time and operation conditions of the two groups had no significant differ-ence (P>0. 05). The satisfactory fracture reduction rate of observation group was higher than the control group (P<0. 05). Hip function score of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0. 05). In observation group, the excellent rate of hip joint function was better than that of the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence rate of complications in the observation group and the con-trol group were 12. 50% and 16. 67% respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion High ilioinguinal approach can improve the fracture reduction effect, effectively improve the hip joint function in patients, and it has higher security which is a kind of ideal treatment approach for acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate.

【Objective】 To analyze the antibody types of autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA) patients in Panyu district, Guangzhou and track the therapeutic effect of blood transfusion, so as to provide reference for clinical transfusion treatment strategy of AIHA patients. 【Methods】 From January 2021 to October 2023, 96 ambiguous cross-matching blood samples from Blood Transfusion Departments of local hospitals sent to Panyu Central Blood Station were analyzed, and 25 samples of AIHA patients were identified. Then blood group identification, Rh system antigen phenotyping, antibody screening and cross-matching were further performed to analyze the correlation between antibody types and transfusion efficacy in AIHA patients. 【Results】 Among the 25 samples of AIHA patients, 17 showed consistency between forward and reverse blood grouping and 8 showed discrepancy. There were 19 (19/25, 76%) samples incompatible in cross match on the major side, of which 18 (18/19, 94.7%) were positive for direct Coombs test, autoantibodies and non-specific antibodies, and 1 (1/19, 5.3%)was positive for autoantibody and alloantibody.There were 6 (6/25, 24%) samples compatible in cross match on the major side, of which 3 (3/6, 50%) were positive for autoantibodies, 3 (3/6, 50%) were positive for autoantibody and alloantibody. Of the 25 AIHA patients, 20 received blood transfusion treatment and could be traced, and 5 patients did not receive blood transfusion treatment or transferred to other hospitals and could not be traced. Blood transfusion was effective in 11 (11/20, 55%) cases, partially effective in 6 (6/20, 30%) cases, and ineffective in 3 (3/20, 15%) cases. Among the ABO blood group incompatibility samples, transfusion was effective or partially effective in 17 (17/20, 85%) cases. 【Conclusion】 The transfusion efficacy of AIHA patients is not directly related to the results of cross-matching. Under the premise of regulating the autoimmune environment and eliminating the ABO blood group incompatibility caused by unexpected alloantibodies, AIHA patients with incompatible cross-matching can be transfused when necessary, and transfusion of ABO and Rh system antigen homologous blood can improve the safety and efficiency of transfusion.
