Objective To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and disease severity and pathological type of intestinal polyps in inpatients. Methods The data of 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps in the hospital from August 2022 to February 2025 were collected and analyzed. The clinical characteristics of patients were analyzed, and the influencing factors of pathological types of polyps were explored. Results Among the 303 inpatients with intestinal polyps, there were 135 Hp positive cases and 168 Hp negative cases. The number of polyps, maximum polyp diameter, number of ileocecus/ascending colon/transverse colon polyps, number of descending colon/sigmoid colon/rectal polyps and adenomatous polyps in the Hp-positive group were higher than those in the Hp-negative group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age [OR (95%CI)=1.03 (1.01-1.05)] and positive Hp[OR (95%CI)=2.61 (1.62-4.20)] were independent risk factors of occurrence of adenomatous polyps (P<0.05). ROC curve results revealed that the AUCs of age, positive HP and combination in the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps were 0.574, 0.608 and 0.646, and the 95%CI values were 0.509-0.638, 0.545-0.672 and 0.584-0.708 respectively. The efficiency of combination of the two indexes was higher than that of single diagnosis. Conclusion Hp infection is associated with disease severity in inpatients with intestinal polyps, and it may be involved in the occurrence and development of adenomatous polyps.

OBJECTIVE To establish HPLC fingerprint of Guzhecuoshang capsules, and its quality was evaluated by chemical pattern recognition. METHODS The HPLC-DAD method was used to establish the fingerprint of Guzhecuoshang capsules. The main chromatographic peaks were confirmed and assigned, and finally analyzed them through cluster analysis(CA), principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) models. RESULTS The similarity of 75 batches of Guzhecuoshang capsules was covered from 0.685 to 0.986. A total of 26 common peaks were marked, and 6 components were identified respectively: hydroxysafflor yellow A(peak 1), ferulic acid(peak 6), aloeemodin(peak 15), emodin(peak 19), chrysophanol(peak 24) and physcion(peak 26). CA could be divided into five categories. The PCA and OPLS-DA screened out 13 main differentially contributing components, and it was indicated by the attribution of components that controlling the quality of safflower play an important role in ensuring the stability of the quality of Guzhecuoshang capsules. CONCLUSION The established HPLC fingerprint is relatively stable and reliable, which can basically reflect the characteristics of the chemical components in the compound, and can also provide a reference for the quality control and standard improvement of Guzhecuoshang capsules.

Objective : To investigate the role and mechanism of bone formation caused by the ratio of advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in rabbit femur defect model, which provides a new idea for clinical treatment of bone defect. Methods : Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were divided into model group, 1∶1 complex group (A-PRF∶β-TCP=1∶1), 2∶1 complex group (A-PRF∶β- TCP=2∶1) and 4∶1 complex group (A-PRF∶β- TCP=4∶1）, with 6 rabbits in each group. Femoral defect models were constructed in each group. In the composite group, the bone defect was filled with composite material, while in the model group, no material was filled. After 8 weeks, the animals were euthanized and specimens were collected. Bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.SP) and trabecular number (Tb.N) in femoral defect tissue were measured by micro-CT and photographed. Hematoxylin - eosin staining was used to detect the pathological changes of new bone tissue. The morphological changes of the new bone tissue were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Determination of phospho-mitogen activated protein kinase p38 (p-p38MAPK), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and phospho-cysteine aspartic protease-3 (p-Caspase3) in newborn femur by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and p38MAPK were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of OPG, BMP-2, RANKL, p-p38MAPK and p-Caspase3 protein in the new bone tissue was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results : In the model group, bone formation in the femoral defect area was slow and osteogenic quality was poor. Compared with the model group, the bone formation and neocapillaries of femoral defect area in the complex group was good, BMD, BV.TV, Tb.Th, Tb.N were increased, and Tb.Sp were decreased, the expressions of p-p38MAPK, CHOP and p-Caspase3 were decreased, and the mRNA and protein expressions of OPG and BMP-2 were increased. The mRNA expression of RANKL and p38MAPK was decreased. Apoptosis in new bone tissue of each group showed the lowest apoptosis rate in samples of the 2∶1 complex group (P<0.05); A-PRF: β-TCP=2∶1 ratio has the best osteogenic effect. Conclusion The complex composed of A-PRF and β-TCP can promote the expression of OPG, inhibit the expression of RANKL and phosphorylation of p38MAPK, reduce the apoptosis of new bone tissue cells, and promote osteogenic differentiation.

Objective To analyze the relationship between hepatitis B virus genotyping and primary liver cancer (PHC) in Wuhan, and to provide a theoretical basis for the early prevention and diagnosis of PHC. Methods Patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) from Wuhan Sub-heart General Hospital for treatment from February 2020 to February 2021 were selected and divided into PHC group (182 cases) and control group (189 cases) according to whether they were complicated with primary liver cancer. 5ml of fasting elbow venous blood was taken from all subjects at admission. HBV genotyping was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The DNA of CHB virus was determined by fluorescence probe hybridization and PCR amplification, and genotyping and drug-resistant mutation points were detected according to the product sequencing analysis. Spearman linear correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between genotyping and mutation rate of PHC patients. Results The proportion of C genotype in PHC group was significantly higher than that in non-PHC group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of B genotype and mixed B and C genotype between 2 groups (P>0.05). The proportion of HEPATITIS B virus mutation in PHC group (114/182) was significantly higher than that in control group (84/189) (χ²=12.331, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of HBV B type and B, C mixed mutation between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of HBV C mutant in PHC group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The proportion of HBV C mutation in PHC group was significantly higher than that of HBV B and B, C mixed type (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the mutation rate of C genotype and C genotype was positively correlated with the occurrence of PHC, and the correlation coefficients were (r₁=0.349, r₂=0.305, P<0.05). Conclusion The HBV genotype of PHC patients is mainly TYPE C, and has a high mutation rate of C genotype. It can be used for diagnosis of PHC by detecting the genotyping of CHB and mutation rate of C genotype in clinic.

MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that regulate and control the translation of target genes, and play an important role in gene expression involved in the development of spinal cord and spinal cord injury, which constitute novel targets for therapeutic intervention to promote repair and regeneration of the spinal cord, also they are the potential biomarkers of spinal cord injury. This article reviewed the mechanism of microRNAs and listed several microRNAs in spinal cord injury area.
