Journal of Integrative Medicine 2009;7(9):848-54
Objective: To explore the effects of Qichu Fujin Recipe (QCFJR), a compound traditional Chinese medicine, in repairing sciatic nerve injury in rats. Methods: A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, untreated group, mecobalamin group and QCFJR group. Except the normal control group, sciatic nerve injury was induced by crushing of left sciatic nerve. Rats in the mecobalamin group were intragastrically administered with mecobalamin solutions 150 mug/(kg.d), and rats in the QCFJR group were intragastrically administered with QCFJR 35.2 g/(kg.d), while rats in the untreated group were intragastrically administered with normal saline (0.5 mL/d), once a day for 4 weeks respectively. Sciatic function index (SFI) was determined by walking tract analysis 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after crushing. Five rats in each group were sacrificed for histological observation at the different time points. The remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight and the diameter of gastrocnemius cells were calculated. Expression of S-100 protein in the distal stump of injured nerve was observed by using immunohistochemical method. Distal injured sciatic nerves were determined with toluidine blue staining and observed under a light microscope 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after operation. Diameter of axon and depth of myelin sheath were calculated by an image analysis system. Ultrastructure of nerve fibers was determined with uranyl acetate and lead citrate staining and observed under an electron microscope. Results: Compared with the normal control group, SFI, remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight, diameter of gastrocnemius cells, expression of S-100, diameter of axon and depth of myelin sheath in the mecobalamin group and the QCFJR group were significantly decreased at different time points (P<0.05), superior to those of the untreated group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Except the remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight and the diameter of gastrocnemius cells, there were no significant differences in other indexes between the mecobalamin group and the QCFJR group 1 week and 2 and 4 weeks after crushing (P>0.05). Conclusion: QCFJR can stimulate the regeneration and repair of nerve fiber and delay the skeletal muscle atrophy after sciatic nerve injury in rats.

Objective:
To create a model to predict nosocomial infections in emergency intensive care units (EICU), so as to provide insights into early identification and interventions among patients with nosocomial infections.
Methods:
All nosocomial infections were collected from patients hospitalized in the EICU of a large tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2020. The 2017-2019 data were selected as the training set to create a logistic regression model, and the fitting effectiveness of the predictive model was evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The 2020 data were selected as the test set to evaluate the external validation of the predictive model. In addition, the value of the model for prediction of nosocomial infections was examined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results :
Totally 1 546 inpatients in EICU were enrolled, and the prevalence of nosocomial infections was 7.18%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified hospital stay duration of >7 days (OR=21.845, 95%CI: 7.901-60.398), use of ventilators (OR=3.405, 95%CI: 1.335-8.682), and surgery (OR=1.854, 95%CI: 1.121-3.064) as risk factors of nosocomial infections. The predictive model was p=ey/(1+ey), y=-6.105+(3.084×duration of hospital stay)+(1.225×use of ventilators)+(0.617×surgery). The area under ROC curve was 0.806 (95%CI: 0.774-0.838) for the training set and 0.723 (95%CI: 0.623-0.823) for the test set, and if the 0.065 cut-off of the predictive model created by the training set was included in the test set, the predictive value yield a 0.739 sensitivity and 0.642 specificity for prediction of nosocomial infections among patients hospitalized in EICU.
Conclusion
The created predictive model for nosocomial infections among patients hospitalized in EICU presents a high accuracy, which shows a satisfactory predictive value for high-risk nosocomial infections.

Objective:To explore the perioperative safety and postoperative short-and long-term efficacy of stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (SPGJ) with distal selective vagotomy (DSV) for treating benign gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).Methods:The clinical data of 26 benign GOO patients treated by Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2019 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 males (76.9%) and 6 females (23.1%), aged from 25 to 75 years, with an average age of (55.8±13.6) years, and an average body mass index (BMI) of (20.1±3.4) kg/m 2. There were 12 cases in SPGJ-DSV group and 14 cases in SPGJ group. The main outcome was the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) 1 year after surgery in both groups. Independent sample t-test was used to test the difference between the continuous variables with normal distribution. The comparison between groups of non-normal distribution continuous variables was tested by Mann-Whitney U test. Counting data were compared using Chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operative time ( P=0.071), intraoperative blood loss ( P=0.422), time to pass gas ( P=0.538), time to liquid intake ( P=0.386), postoperative hospitalization ( P=0.431), complications within 30 days after surgery ( P=0.999), and postoperative GOOSS grade ( P=0.483). Among them, postoperative DGE occurred in one patient in each of the two groups, both of which were grade A. In the follow-up results, compared with the SPGJ group, SPGJ-DSV group had a significant advantage in GIQLI score, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). The incidence of gastric ulcer, reflux esophagitis, bile reflux and gastritis in SPGJ-DSV group was 8.3%, 8.3%, 8.3% and 58.3%, while that in SPGJ group was 35.7%, 21.4%, 21.4% and 57.1%, respectively, but there was no statistical significance between groups. Conclusion:In the treatment of benign GOO patients, SPGJ with DSV did not significantly increase the difficulty of laparoscopic procedures, operative time and intraoperative blood loss. Moreover, it showed a significant advantage in gastrointestinal quality of life 1 year after surgery. In addition, the incidence rates of gastric ulcers and reflux esophagitis were lower in the SPGJ-DSV group 1 year after surgery, but further confirmation is needed in large sample studies.
