Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of modifiedHuanglian-Jiedudecoction for resistant hypertension and explore its possible mechanism.Methods A total of 90 patients with resistant hypertension were recruited and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 45 patients in each group. The control group was treated with oral administration of irbesartan and hydrochlorothiazide tablets and controlled-release nifedipine tablets, while the treatment group was further added modifiedHuanglian-Jiedu decoction for 4 weeks. Plasma endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were measured by radioimmunoassay.Rusults The total efficiency according to the TCM syndrome in the treatment group was 86.7%(39/45) which was higher than 64.4%(29/45) in the control group(χ2=4.873,P=0.027). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased after the treatment in both groups ( SBP in the treatment group: 119.26 ± 9.34 mmHgvs.172.11 ± 10.52 mmHg,t=25.201,P<0.01; DBP in the treatment group: 78.18 ± 7.21 mmHgvs.111.12 ± 11.16 mmHg,t=16.631, P<0.01; SBP in the control group: 145.21 ± 7.56 mmHgvs.171.32 ± 11.15 mmHg,t=13.002,P<0.01; DBP in the control group: 93.57±8.13 mmHgvs. 109.89 ± 12.21 mmHg,t=7.463,P<0.01), while the decrease of SBP (t=14.487,P<0.01) and DBP (t=9.501, P<0.01) in the treatment group was more greater than those in the control group. The control rate of blood pressure in the treatment and control groups were 73.3% (33/45) and 55.6% (25/45), respectively, there had no significant difference (χ2=2.376,P=0.123). The plasma ET in the treatment group was significantly decreased than that in the control group (75.68 ± 10.67 ng/Lvs.112.79 ± 12.26ng/L;t=15.317,P<0.05), and CGRP significantly increased (49.87 ± 4.75 ng/Lvs.33.87 ± 7.89 ng/L;t=11.654,P<0.05).Conclusion Modified Huanglian-Jiedudecoction may have some therapeutic effect for resistant hypertension, its mechanism may be involved in ET decreasing and CGRP increasing.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and prognosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) in children.Methods:The clinical data of a child who had Budd-Chiari syndrome with HPS treated at the Department of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in December 2016 was analyzed retrospectively. Taking "Budd-Chiari syndrome" and "hepatopulmonary syndrome" in Chinese or English as the keywords, literature was searched at CNKI, Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Database and PubMed up to July 2023. Combined with this case, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome with HPS in children under the age of 18 were summarized.Results:A 13-year-old boy, presented with cyanosis and chest tightness after activities for 6 months, and yellow staining of the skin for 1 week. Physical examination at admission not only found mild yellow staining of the skin and sclera, but also found cyanosis of the lips, periocular skin, and extremities. Laboratory examination showed abnormal liver function with total bilirubin 53 μmol/L, direct bilirubin 14 μmol/L, and indirect bilirubin 39 μmol/L, and abnormal blood gas analysis with the partial pressure of oxygen of 54 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), the partial pressure of carbon dioxide of 31 mmHg, and the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient of 57 mmHg. Hepatic vein-type Budd-Chiari syndrome, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension were indicated by abdominal CT venography. Contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography (CE-TTE) was positive. After symptomatic and supportive treatment, this patient was discharged and received oxygen therapy outside the hospital. At follow-up until March 2023, there was no significant improvement in hypoxemia, accompanied by limited daily activities. Based on the literature, there were 3 reports in English while none in Chinese, 3 cases were reported. Among a total of 4 children, the chief complaints were dyspnea, cyanosis, or hypoxemia in 3 cases, and unknown in 1 case. There were 2 cases diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome with HPS at the same time due to respiratory symptoms, and 2 cases developed HPS 1.5 years and 8.0 years after the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome respectively. CE-TTE was positive in 2 cases and pulmonary perfusion imaging was positive in 2 cases. Liver transplantation was performed in 2 cases and their respiratory function recovered well; 1 case received oxygen therapy, with no improvement in hypoxemia; 1 case was waiting for liver transplantation.Conclusions:The onset of Budd-Chiari syndrome with HPS is insidious. The most common clinical manifestations are dyspnea and cyanosis. It can reduce misdiagnosis to confirm intrapulmonary vascular dilatations with CE-TTE at an early stage. Liver transplantation is helpful in improving the prognosis.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of cervical lesions in female patients in the Shihezi region of Xinjiang in the past two years and provide guidance for clinical work and local cervical cancer screening.Methods:The clinicopathological data and characteristics of 1 080 patients with abnormal double screening of human papilloma virus (HPV) and cervical exfoliative cell test (TCT) and vaginal mirror cervical tissue biopsy in the gynecology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Shihezi University from May 2017 to March 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The influencing factors of cervical lesions were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:(1) Uneducated [odds ratio ( OR)=2.267], irregular vaginal bleeding ( OR=3.275) and number of sexual partners ≥3 ( OR=3.052) were independent risk factors for cervical lesions. (2) Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) was detected most frequently in the 30-39 age group (57.54%), and cervical cancer was detected most frequently in the ≥60 age group (14.15%), followed by the 40-49 age group (2.20%). (3) The proportion of HPV positive and the positive rate of high-risk HPV16/18 in the 40-49 age group were the highest, 33.18% and 39.38% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in HPV viral load between the different age groups ( P>0.05). (4) The detection rates of CIN3 and cervical cancer were higher in the HPV16/18-positive group than in the HPV-positive and TCT≥atypical squamous epithelial cells of undermined significance (ASC-US) group (18.34% vs 11.33%, 4.30% vs 1.82%), with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05), respectively. The detection rate of CIN2 was higher in the high-load group (28.44%) than in the medium-load group (25.32%) and the low load group (15.79%). (5) The detection rate of CIN3 in the HPV-positive TCT for the ASC-US populations was significantly higher in the HPV16/18-positive group than in the other subtypes of HPV-positive group (21.43% vs 8.33%, P<0.05). Conclusions:During cervical cancer screening in Shihezi region, we should strengthen the publicity of elderly women and uneducated people. CIN and cervical carcinoma in Shihezi region are closely associated with high-risk HPV infection, especially HPV16/18 infection. HPV-positive age is mainly concentrated in the age group of 40-49 years, and the detection rate of CIN and cervical cancer is the highest in the age group of 30-39 years and ≥60 years, respectively. The detection rate of ≥CIN2 in HPV16/18 fraction and high viral load population is higher than that of other HPV subtypes positive and low to medium load populations. How to effectively shunt HPV positive TCT is an important problem in ASC-US population, which needs further research.

The oral cavity of each person is home to hundreds of bacterial species.While taxa for oral diseases have been studied using culture-based characterization as well as amplicon sequencing,metagenomic and genomic information remains scarce compared to the fecal microbiome.Here,using metagenomic shotgun data for 3346 oral metagenomic samples together with 808 published samples,we obtain 56,213 metagenome-assembled genomes(MAGs),and more than 64%of the 3589 species-level genome bins(SGBs)contain no publicly available genomes.The resulting genome collection is representative of samples around the world and contains many genomes from candi-date phyla radiation(CPR)that lack monoculture.Also,it enables the discovery of new taxa such as a genus Candidatus Bgiplasma within the family Acholeplasmataceae.Large-scale metagenomic data from massive samples also allow the assembly of strains from important oral taxa such as Por-phyromonas and Neisseria.The oral microbes encode genes that could potentially metabolize drugs.Apart from these findings,a strongly male-enriched Campylobacter species was identified.Oral sam-ples would be more user-friendly collected than fecal samples and have the potential for disease diagnosis.Thus,these data lay down a genomic framework for future inquiries of the human oral microbiome.
