Objective:To explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave combined with meloxicam tablets on joint function and serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and resistin levels in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.Methods:80 cases of elderly patients with osteoarthritis in Nanchong Central Hospital from May 2016 to March 2019 were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into two groups, 40 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional oral medicine (meloxicam + potassium glucosamine sulfate tablets), and the observation group was given meloxicam tablets combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The total effective rate, incidence of adverse reactions, and the scores of osteoarthritis symptoms (WOMCA), joint function (Lysholm), serum MMP-9 and resistin before and after 8 weeks' treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment, the WOMCA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and Lysholm score was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05); the total effective rate of the observation group (95.00%) was higher than of the control group (77.50%) ( P<0.05); the serum resistin and MMP-9 levels of the observation group were lower than those of the control group after treatment ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group (15.00%) and the control group (17.50%) ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Extracorporeal shock wave combined with meloxicam tablets in the treatment of elderly patients with osteoarthritis can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, promote the recovery of joint function, reduce the levels of serum resistin and MMP-9, and further improve the treatment effect with high safety.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of rabies-exposed populations in Anji County, Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide insights into rabies control in the county. Methods: All data pertaining to rabies were captured from Monthly Report of Rabies-exposed Populations in Huzhou City and Investigation Form of Multiple Dog Injuries reported by dog injury clinics in Anji County from 2017 to 2021, and the species of animals causing dog injuries, duration, degree and site of exposure, and post-exposure treatment of rabies-exposed populations were descriptively analyzed. Results: Totally 46 186 cases with rabies exposure were reported in dog injury clinics in Anji County from 2017 to 2021, and the rate of exposure appeared a tendency towards a decline year by year (Z=-23.249, P<0.001), with an annual mean exposure rate of 1 739.59/105. The number of cases with exposure to rabies peaked in July and August (10 066 cases, 21.79%). Dogs were predominant animals causing injuries (31 732 cases, 68.70%), and the rate of exposure to dog bites appeared a tendency towards a decline year by year (Z=-35.541, P<0.001). There were 11 350 cases with cat-causing injuries (24.57%), and the rate of exposure to cat bites appeared a tendency towards a rise (Z=14.834, P<0.001). Lower extremity was the main site of exposure (22 364 cases, 48.42%), and the proportions of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ exposure to rabies were 72.85% and 25.23%, the rates of exposure both appeared a tendency towards a decline (Z=-14.522, P<0.001; Z=-21.820, P<0.001). The proportion of using human rabies immune globulin was 25.72% among populations with grade Ⅲ exposure, which appeared a tendency towards a rise (Z=6.636, P<0.001). Conclusions The rate of exposure to rabies appeared a tendency towards a decline in Anji County from 2017 to 2021. Dogs were predominant animals causing injuries, and the rate of cat bites appeared a tendency towards a rise from 2017 to 2021; however, the proportion of using human rabies immune globulin remains to be improved among populations with grade Ⅲ exposure.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 genes(GSTM1 and GSTT1),and eval-uate the oxidative damage in patients with non-small lung cancer(N-SCLC). Methods A total of 110 patients with N-SCLC and 100 healthy indi-viduals were recruited in this case-control study. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR)analysis was used to identify the genotypes. The activi-ty of malondialdehyde(MDA),nitric oxide(NO),and the total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)were detected by spectroscopic analysis using assay kits. Results The frequencies of the GSTM1,T1,and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes in the patient group were significantly higher than those in control group(OR1=2.071,P1=0.009;OR2=1.900,P2=0.024;OR3=3.258,P3=0.003). The activity of MDA and NO were obviously higher in the pa-tient group compared with the control group(P<0.001),and T-AOC was obviously lower in patient group than those in control group(P<0.001). The activity of MDA,and NO were higher but the T-AOC were lower in patients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 null genotypes than those in pa-tients with GSTM1,T1 and GSTM1/T1 present genotypes(P<0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that oxidative damage may play a impor-tant role in patients with N-SCLC,and the N-SCLC patients with GSTM1and GSTT1deletion genotypes are more susceptible to oxidative damage.

Objective To investigate the effects of enteral ecological nutrition on intestinal immune function and Hh protein expression in intestinal mucosa of rats with small intestinal injury and explore the mechanism. Methods Thirty male clean grade Wistar rats were selected as study subjects. The rats were randomly divided into a model group and an enteral ecotrophic group with 15 rats in each group. The small intestinal injury model was prepared by trauma method. After successful modeling, Six hours after successful establishment of the model, the rats in the two groups were fed with 753.12 kJ·kg-1·d-1 energy, 3 times a day. The rats in the model group were fed with conventional diet, while the rats in the enteral ecotrophic group were fed with enteral nutrition emulsion +Lactobacillus, bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria by intragastric administration of 1×107 cfu/d. After 10 days, the rats were killed, the small intestine of the two groups was dissected and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and the morphological changes of small intestinal mucosa (villus height, glandular recess depth, mucosal thickness) were observed in the two groups; the expressions of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ positive T cells in small intestinal mucosa were evaluated by immunohistochemistry; the expression of Hh protein in small intestinal mucosa was detected by Western Blot in the two groups. Results On the first day after the establishment of the model, the weight of rats in both groups was lower than that before the modeling [model group (g): 118.0±4.2 vs. 121.7±5.2, enteral ecotrophic group (g):117.5±4.7 vs. 120.8±5.0, P > 0.05], from the fifth day after the modeling, the weight of the rats in the enteral ecotrophic group was significantly higher than that of the model group (g: 127.1±5.0 vs. 123.2±4.2, P < 0.05), continued to 10 days (g: 142.5±6.6 vs. 135.3±6.2, P < 0.05). After the establishment of the model for 10 days, the small intestinal villus height, glandular recess depth, mucosal thickness and percentages of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ positive T cells in enteral ecotrophic group were significantly higher than those in model group [villus height (μm): 221.7±25.0 vs. 159.5±20.8, glandular recess depth (μm): 79.39±12.65 vs. 67.87±7.79, mucosal thickness (μm): 254.7±51.8 vs. 209.0±27.2, CD3+: 0.193±0.035 vs. 0.125±0.031, CD4+: 0.130±0.027 vs. 0.104±0.015, CD8+: 0.165±0.026 vs. 0.137±0.027, all P < 0.05]. The expression of Hh protein in the enteral ecotrophic group was obviously higher than that in model group (Hh/β-actin: 0.16±0.04 vs. 0.04±0.02, P <0.05). Conclusion Enteral ecological nutrition may promote the repair of intestinal mucosa and the improvement of immune function level by enhancing the expression of Hh protein in small intestinal mucosa of rats with small intestinal injury.

Patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis is sensitive to concurrent infection and impact glucocorticoid response and disease prognosis. Glucocorticoids can increase the incidence and of serious infections and fungal infections. Among them, Gram-negative bacterial infections are the major one, and invasive fungal infections are not uncommon. Early diagnosis and empiric anti-infective therapy are important means for severe alcoholic hepatitis with concurrent infection. Anti-infective strategies covering multiple drug-resistant bacteria should be timely formulated after determining the high risk of multiple drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Objective:To develop a laparoscopic surgery flushing waste liquid collection device,to collect a large amount of waste liquid generated when flushing fluid was used in urological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:The structure of the laparoscopic surgical flushing waste collection device was composed of a lifting mechanism,a liquid waste collector and a liquid waste discharger.The height of the waste liquid collector can be adjusted by changing the height of the lifting mechanism to suit the body position of the patient and the needs of the surgeon.The waste liquid generated during the operation can be led to the waste liquid collection tank through the collection trough,and then the waste liquid is discharged to the non-operative area container through the discharge tube.A total of 80 patients who underwent transurethral resection of prostate in the operating room of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from June 2022 to December 2022 were selected and divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.In the observation group,a brain protective film with an open bottom was used to collect the waste fluid and specimens in combination with the laparoscopic surgical flushing waste collection device.In the control group,samples were collected by knotting and perforating the lower end of brain protective membrane and waste fluid was collected by ordinary bucket.The incidence of intraoperative flushing fluid contamination of the ground environment and the time taken for waste fluid to be drawn out of the surgical area were compared between the two groups,and the intraoperative specimen collection rate was calculated.Results:The total incidence of overflow of flushing waste fluid and contamination of the ground environment in the observation group was 7.5%,which was significantly lower than that of the control group(27.5%),the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.135,P<0.05).The operation time of observation group was better than that of control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=7.966,P<0.001).The collection rate of surgical specimens in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.135,P<0.05).Conclusion:The laparoscopic surgery waste liquid collection device can meet the requirements of surgical waste liquid collection,which simple to operate,time-saving and labor-saving,can reduce the environmental pollution of the surgical ground,and improve the collection rate of surgical specimens.
