BACKGROUND:There is a high morbidity after spinal cord injury, and the therapeutic strategy is limited to early surgical intervention, medication and post-treatment exercise that only can improve the motor function slightly. However, there is no effective cure method. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of partition-type spinal cord catheter combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels on T8 spinal cord transection damage in rats. METHODS:Fifty rats were randomized into five groups (n=10 per group): group I, T8 spinal cord transection (5 mm) was made in rats with no treatment; group II, the partition-type tube was inserted into the injured site after modeling; group III, partition-type tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels was implanted into the injured site after modeling; group IV, partition-type tube combined with polyglycolic acid fibers was implanted into the injured site after modeling; group V, partition-type tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels and polyglycolic acid fibers was implanted into the injured site after modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 and 12 weeks postoperatively, Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores were significantly higher in the groups III and IV than the groups I, II, IV (P < 0.05). At 12 weeks postoperatively, the latency of motor evoked potential below the injury plane was significantly decreased in group V compared with groups I, II, III, IV (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical results displayed that in the groups III and V, regenerated nerve fibers grew positively and arranged orderly among the tubes, and there was no obvious winding phenomenon. Under transmission electron microscopy, a certain number of myelinated nerve fibers were found as bridges among groups. These findings indicate that the partition-type chitosan tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels has a good connection with the injured spinal cord a good connection to restore part of electrophysiological properties, accelerate the axon regeneration, recover the motor function, thereby providing a new direction for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

Vascular dementia (VaD) is a common disease that affects the health of the elderly. Due to the aging of the social population, the incidence of VaD is increasing year by year. There have been no officially approved treatments for this disease, mainly because its pathogenesis is complex, and the mechanism of action of effective drugs is not yet clear, which hinders drug research for the treatment of VaD. Therefore, by reviewing the available literature related to VaD, this study sorted out the pathogenesis of VaD from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, and concluded that in TCM, VaD was characterized by the deficiency of the spleen and kidney (deficiency) and combination of phlegm and blood stasis (excess), while in western medicine, the pathogenesis of VaD is mainly inflammatory response, oxidative stress, abnormal expression of related proteins, and dysfunction of signaling pathways. On this basis, this study also summarized the research on the mechanism of action of commonly used single Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese herbal medicine compound, western medicine, and the combination of Chinese herbal medicine and western medicine in the treatment of VaD in recent years. The commonly used single Chinese herbal medicine Ginkgo Folium and Chinese herbal medicine compound Dihuang Yinzi have the multi-component and multi-target characteristics and few adverse reactions in the treatment of VaD, while the commonly used western medicines such as donepezil and memantine have the characteristics of the clear target and quick onset. The combination of Chinese herbal medicine and western medicines can achieve a better effect. This study summarized the research on the pathogenesis and treatment of VaD, aiming to link the pathogenesis of VaD with the mechanism of effective drug therapy, and provide an important reference for future drug development for the treatment of VaD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of modified open necrosectomy (MON) and small incision combined with nephroscopic operation (SINO) in the "one-step" treatment for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Methods:The clinical data of 28 patients with IPN undergoing " one-step" surgery in Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from December 2012 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 17 males and 11 females, aged (53.2±13.0) years old. The general information, characteristics of pancreatitis and other clinical data of patients were collected. The white blood cell count, neutrophil count, hematocrit, C-reactive protein (CRP) and other laboratory indicators were compared before and 7 days after surgery. Patients were followed up by outpatient or telephone review.Results:Among the patients, 16 were treated with MON and 12 with SINO. All procedures were successfully completed. Compared to preoperative data, white blood cell count [9.6(6.7, 12.6)×10 9/L vs. 12.7(8.2, 16.6)×10 9/L] and CRP 48.0(25.5, 86.4) mg/L vs. 60.0(23.6, 86.8) mg/L] decreased after surgery (both P<0.05). In MON group, three patients could tolerate fat diet, nine restored physical self-maintenance, and nine returned to occupation after surgery. In SINO group, three patients could tolerate fat diet, six restored physical self-maintenance, and three returned to occupation after surgery. The mortality of 28 patients was 10.7% (3/28). None of patients had incisional hernia. No major complications occurred in MON group. In SINO group, one patient developed new organ failure, two suffered postoperative bleeding requiring intervention, and four suffered new hollow visceral perforation or gastrointestinal fistula. Conclusion:Both MON and SINO are safe and feasible for one-step treatment in patients with IPN.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and mechanism of Tongnao Yizhi Formula (通脑益智方, TYF) in treating vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND) with spleen and kidney depletion, phlegm and stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome. MethodsNinety-two VCIND patients with spleen and kidney depletion, phlegm and stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome were randomly divided into control group (42 cases) and treatment group (52 cases). Both groups received routine basic treatment. The control group was given donapezil hydrochloride capsules orally, 5 mg each time, once at night, while the treatment group was given TYF orally, 1 dose per day. Both groups were treated continuously for 3 months. The scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (VaDAS-Cog), Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), and TCM syndrome scores (the primary symptoms such as sluggish thinking, forgetfulness, temperament changes, and language confusion, and secondary symptoms such as weakness of waist and knees, dizziness and headache, occasional tinnitus, fatigue, heaviness of limbs, insomnia and irritability, poor appetite and abdominal distension, numbness of face) were observed before and after treatment in both groups. The changes in gut microflora diversity and flora abundance structure as well as fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) levels including acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, isovaleric acid, valeric acid, and caproic acid were compared between groups. The feces of 20 healthy subjects in the same period were included as reference. Safety was evaluated during the study. ResultsAfter treatment, both groups exhibited significant increases in MMSE scores and decreases in VaDAS-cog scores (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and ADL scores in the treatment group significantly increased (P<0.05). Scores of symptoms including sluggish thinking, forgetfulness, temperament change, language confusion, heaviness of limbs, insomnia, irritability, poor appetite, abdominal distension, and facial numbness as well as the total score significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). When compared between groups, the treatment group showed substantial reductions in scores of weakness of waist and knees, tinnitus, fatigue, heaviness of limbs, insomnia, irritability, loss of appetite and abdominal distension (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The gut microflora diversity analysis showed that the Shannon index of the treatment group significantly increased after treatment (P<0.05).PCoA analysis and ANOSIM test indicated significant differences between groups, suggesting changes in microflora species (P<0.01). After treatment, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria in the treatment group increased, while the relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Cyanobacteria decreased (P<0.05); the relative abundance of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, and Ruminococcus increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared to the the gut microflora species diversity of the healthy people, it is indicated that the gut microflora structure in the treatment group was close to that of the healthy people, while there was no such trend in the control group. In the treatment group, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid in the treatment group were all higher after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionsTYF can improve the cognitive ability and quality of life of VCIND patients with spleen and kidney depletion, phlegm and stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome, and this improvement may be related to regulating intestinal microecology.
