The effect of SpA on macrophage proliferation was measured by MTT method .The levels of inflammatory cytokines ,TNF‐α,IL‐1 and IL‐6 from the cultured cell media were measured by ELISA respectively .The levels of mRNA expression corresponding to TNF‐α,IL‐1 and IL‐6 were detected by RT‐PCR from the macrophages stimulated with SpA .All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS17 .0 software .Results The MTT result indicated that SpA had a positive effect on the proliferation of THP‐1 cells in a dosage depended manner .The addition of SpA could enhance the mRNA expression of TNF‐α,IL‐1 and IL‐6 in the stimulated mac‐rophages .It also showed a specific dose‐effect and time‐effect correlation .The macrophages secreted inflammatory cytokines and its corresponding mRNA reached its peak levels at 12 h post stimulation .Compared with the control group ,the expression and release of TNF‐α,IL‐1 and IL‐6 in macrophages from the experimental group was increased with statistical significance(P<0 .01) .Conclu‐sion SpA can promote the secretion and expression of early pro‐inflammatory cytokines ,such as TNF‐α,IL‐1 and IL‐6 in macro‐phages .Therefore ,SpA plays a very important role in the initiation and development of the staphylococcus aureus sepsis .

Objective To analyze the effects of adenohypophysis function after treating with thyrotropin releasing hormone and its clinical significance in patients with brain trauma. Methods There were 22 cases with traumatic brain injuries from July 2010 to September 2012 in Chinese people's Liberation Army nine eight hospital,after injuried within 4 to 12 hours,then 1 1 cases who were given thyrotropin-releasing hormone(TRH)were selected as experimental group,while 1 1 cases who were given the same amount of isotonic saline were selected as control group,then the score of GCS, ICS,RLS85 and the improvement of adenohypophysis function were observed. Results After treatment,the score of glasgow coma scale (GCS ), innsbruck coma scale (ICS),and the reaction level scale (RLS85)between two groups were significantly increased in three days compared with before treatment,and within three days after injury situation,the improvements of ICS and RLS85 in experimental group were better than control group(P<0.05 ). Compared with control group,the levels of each gland pituitary hormone in experimental group were significantly increased(P<0.05 ),and on the third day,the growth hormone (GH)was reduced significantly,finally 50%of that in control group. Conclusion Patients with brain injury treated with thyrotropin releasing hormone,has no significant adverse reactions,with the characteristics of safe and effective.

BACKGROUND:Recovery of motor and sensory function from peripheral nerve injury is relatively slow and incomplete. It is a difficult problem for orthopedic surgeons that mainly leads to the decline in the quality of life in patients.
OBJECTIVE: To conclude the methods and corresponding outcomes in peripheral nerve regeneration by analyzing the new treatment means for peripheral nerve injury.
METHODS:PubMed, Wanfang, CNKI databases were retrieved for relevant articles using key words of “nerve injury, regeneration”, and then retrieval data were sorted and analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, in-depth studies on peripheral nerve repair have been made in the folowing aspects: surgical mode, drug, cytokine, gene transfer and biomaterials as wel as traditional Chinese medicine. If the detect size is four times longer than the diameter of nerves, the nerve regeneration chamber can achieve good outcomes. The methods of restoring nerve continuity folowing nerve injury are developed from surgical anastomosis to photochemohistological method, thermal laser welding, plastic repair and other emerging technologies. Studies have found that plasminogen activator, nerve growth factor, neurotrophic factor, recombinant erythropoietin, human tissue kalikrein, B vitamins and their derivatives, herbal preparations, immunosuppressive agents al can promote nerve regeneration.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that craniocerebral injury can promote the repair of sciatic nerve injury in rats, but its precise mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To further explore the action mechanism of craniocerebral injury on the repair of sciatic nerve injury using morphology and histology.
METHODS:Sixty specific-pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups. Rats with craniocerebral injury and sciatic nerve injury were considered as the experimental group. Rats with simple sciatic nerve injury were considered as the control group. Classical Feeney method was used in models of craniocerebral injury and SunderlandV sciatic nerve injury. At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, sciatic nerve index was detected. Masson staining and NF200 immunofluorescence staining were used to observethe nerve regeneration atthe anstomotic site. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the number of regenerative axons.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, compared with the control group, gait and sciatic nerve index recovered better in the experimental group. In the experimental group, Masson staining showed fewer nerve membrane colagen fibers, and the axon arranged neatly.NF200 immunohistochemistry showed that in the experimental group, the density of regenerated nerves was high, and nerveswere regularly distributed. Transmission electron microscopy showed that in the experimental group, regenerative axons were regularly arranged, colagen scar was less, and myelin layer arranged regularly. Results suggested that the craniocerebral injury in rats may promote the repair of peripheral nerve injury by reducing scar colagen in nerve endings.

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and analyze the risk factors of patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning combined with shock.Methods:The clinical data of patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning admitted to the Peking University Third Hospital and the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2019 and September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and demographic data, poisoning, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, therapeutic measures and clinical outcomes were collected to establish a clinical database. The patients were divided into two groups: the shock group and the non-shock group, and the clinical data were compared between the two groups to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of shock in acute dichlorvos poisoning, and the risk factors of shock in acute dichlorvos poisoning were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:A total of 134 patients who met the criteria for acute dichlorvos poisoning were included in this study; the incidence of shock within 24 hours of admission was 39.6% (53/134), and 11 patients (8.21%) died in hospital; the in-hospital morbidity and mortality rate of patients in the shock group was higher than that in the non-shock group (20.8% vs. 0.0%, P<0.001). Symptoms of sphincter relaxation, coma, hypothermia, and organ function damage were more common in the shock group than in the non-shock group; and shock patients had longer hospitalization, ICU stay, and invasive ventilator use. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of sphincter relaxation manifestations ( OR=10.888, 95% CI: 1.677-70.684, P=0.012) was an independent risk factor for comorbid shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning, and the use of cholinesterase reanimators ( OR=0.246, 95% CI: 0.072-0.846, P=0.026) was a protective factor for combined shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning. Conclusions:The incidence of shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning is high and affects the clinical prognosis, and the presence of sphincter relaxation and the absence of cholinesterase reenergizers are independent risk factors for combined shock in patients with acute dichlorvos poisoning.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of dynamic detecting the levels of TNF-α, HMBG-1,TF and vWF in the peripheral blood from the patients with sepsis. Method The serum and plasma were collected from 39 patients with sepsis onset 24,48,72 and 120 h,and 15 health volunteers. The levels of TNF-α,HMBG-1,TF in serum and vWF in plasma were detected with ELISA.The septic patients were divided in-to death and survival groups.The relations were compared between the changes of the levels of TNF-α,HMBG-1, TF and vWF from septic patient peripheral blood with the illness severity.Results The levels of TNF-α,HMBG-1, TF and vWF in serums from different time point septic patient were significantly higher than health group(P <0.01).The peak time was 24 h for TNF-α,48 h for HMBG-1,TF and vWF,and the 24 h was lowest.By the mul-tivariate Logistic regression analysis,the death groups were significantly higher than survival groups(P < 0.05 &0.01).By ROC curve analysis,the 4 inflammatory factors have obvious judgment value from 72 and 120 h curves. Conclusion Firstly,the inflammatory immune response in the septic patient was excessive activated. Then the levels of detected inflammatory factors have a trend toward increased with the extension of the course and there may be a peak point. Moreover,the levels of detected inflammatory factors have a positively correlated with the course of the disease.Lastly,by dynamic detecting the changes of the levels of TNF-α,HMBG-1,TF and vWF in serum from septic patient,it can be served as a comprehensive evaluation index of the patient condition,treatment effect and prognostic judgment.

Heart failure with high prevalence is the endpoint of many cardiovascular diseases. Once diagnosed， patients usually need lifelong medication， which seriously affects their quality of life. The drugs commonly used to treat heart failure include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors， beta-blockers， aldosterone receptor antagonists， and diuretics. However， the long-term use of those drugs can lead to side effects such as hypotension， depletion of body fluid， and electrolyte imbalance and even increase mortality. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， Qi deficiency and blood stagnation is the major cause of heart failure and when Qi is not moving， blood is not flowing. Therefore， the TCM clinical treatment of heart failure uses the Chinese medicinal materials which replenish Qi， activate blood， and dispell stasis to treat both internal cause and external symptoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that Chinese herbal medicines such as Astragali Radix， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Angelicae Sinensis Radix， as well as the compound formulas such as Buyang Huanwutang， Simiao Yongantang， Qili Qiangxin capsules， and Qishen Yiqi drops， play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of heart failure via replenishing Qi， activating blood， and dispelling stasis. Inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses， mitigation of myocardial fibrosis， improvement of calcium cycling， and protection of mitochondrial function represent the key mechanisms for the treatment of heart failure with Chinese medicinal materials. Focusing on the pathogenic mechanisms and signaling pathways of heart failure， this paper systematically describes the pharmacological effects， molecular mechanisms， and research progress in the clinical application of Chinese medicinal herbs with effects of replenishing Qi， activating blood， and dispelling stasis and their compound formulas in the prevention and treatment of heart failure， aiming to provide scientific evidence for the development and clinical use of anti-heart failure Chinese medicinal materials.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 30% ethanol elution fraction of Artemisia absinthium extract with macroporous resin (AAEM-30%) on the dendritic cell (DC) and immunity of mice. Methods:AAEM-30% was obtained from the alcoholic extracts of A. absinthium by AB-8 macroporous resin, and its polysaccharide, flavonoid, and terpenoid contents were determined. The expressions of AAEM-30% on DC surface molecular cluster of differentiation (CD) 40, CD80 and CD86 were detected in vitro by flow cytometry, and the expressions of DC cytokines IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of AAEM-30% on the immune function of ICR mice was measured in vivo with different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg) and different administration methods (subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, and gavage). Results:The contents of polysaccharides, flavonoids, and terpenoids in AAEM-30% were 24.30%, 22.50% and 28.19%, respectively. AAEM-30% significantly enhanced the expression of CD40, and CD86 and the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α (all P<0.001). Compared with the control group, no statistically significant differences were found in the body mass of mice compared with the three administration methods (all P>0.05). The thymus index in the 50 and 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% intraperitoneal injection groups and the spleen index in the 50 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group were increased (all P<0.05). CD19 + cells increased in the 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% intraperitoneal injection group ( P<0.01) and in the 50 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group ( P<0.05). The CD11b + and CD11c + counts increased in the 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group ( P<0.05). The number of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes was increased by both gavage and intraperitoneal administration (all P<0.05). Conclusions:AAEM-30% can promote the maturation of DC and enhanced the immunity of mice without obvious side effects.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.
