Objective To explore the characteristics of TCM in the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia based on data mining.Methods Clinical literature on the TCM treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia in CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP and SinoMed was retrieved.After screening,the prescriptions obtained were input into Excel 2019 database,and SPSS Modeler 18.0,SPSS Statistics 26.0 and Cytoscape 3.9.1 were used for frequency analysis,association rule analysis,clustering analysis and factor analysis.Results A total of 133 articles meeting the criteria were included,and 140 prescriptions were included,involving 202 kinds of Chinese materia medica,with a total frequency of 1 387 times.22 drugs,such as Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma,Coicis Semen,Dioscoreae Spongiosae Rhizoma,Astrctylodis Rhizoma,were frequently used in the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.The commonly used drugs were drugs for urine excretion to strain off dampness,tonics,clearing heat,promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.The medicinal property was mainly warm,the medicinal taste was mainly sweet,and the meridians were mainly liver,spleen,stomach and kidney meridians.21 groups of medicinal combinations were obtained by high frequency drug association rule analysis,among which the core drug pairs were Coicis Semen-Astrctylodis Rhizoma,Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma-Dioscoreae Spongiosae Rhizoma-Coicis Semen,Coicis Semen-Astrctylodis Rhizoma-Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma,etc.Clustering analysis obtained 5 clustering methods,and factor analysis obtained 7 common factors.Conclusion In the TCM treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia,the main methods are urine excretion to strain off dampness,strengthening spleen and tonifying qi,and the main drugs are Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma,Coicis Semen,Dioscoreae Spongiosae Rhizoma,Astrctylodis Rhizoma,which can provide reference for clinical treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) in children.Methods The clinical information,treatment and prognosis of 9 cases with TA-TMA hospitalized following alloHSCT from January 2008 to November 2017 in Hematology Oncology Center,Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of all the 283 allo-HSCT recipients,9 patients (3.2％) were diagnosed as TA-TMA.Among them,there were 5 male and 4 female,with a median age of 94 months (39-129 months).The median time to of diagnosis was 63 days (6-342 days) after HSCT.Additionally,the median platelet counts,hemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) levels were 44 × 109/L [(7-75) × 109/L],76 g/L (40-105 g/L) and 594 U/L(445-1 386 U/L).Neurological symptoms were found in 5 of the patients,4 had kidney involvement,and 6 had gastrointestinal involvement.The major treatment of TA-TMA was plasma exchange,Rituximab and defibrotide instead of the use of calcineurin inhibitors.Finally,4 patients achieved response after treatment,5 children died of ineffective treatment.Conclusion TA-TMA is a fatal complication after allo-HSCT.It can lead to multiorgan and multi-systems dysfunction.If there are more than 2 systems involved in TA-TMA,it suggests poor prognosis.The combined therapy is better than monotherapy,and the selective individual treatment of TA-TMA is essential.

AIM: To observe the changes of corneal densitometry(CD)in patients with keratoconus after corneal cross-linking(CXL).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 32 patients(43 eyes)with keratoconus in Ningxia Eye Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected. Pentacam analysis system divided the cornea into three layers: anterior 120 μm, middle layer and posterior 60 μm, and divides it into five regions with diameters of 0-2, 2-6, 6-10, 10-12 mm and full diameter according to the diameter, and measures the CD in different ranges. The changes of CD were compared before operation and at 1, 3 and 6 mo after operation.RESULTS: There were differences in uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure before and 6 mo after operation(all P<0.05), and there was no difference in corneal endothelial cells(P=0.477). CD reached its peak at 1 mo after operation, and decreased at 3 mo and 6 mo after operation, but it was still higher than that before operation. There is a significant positive correlation between CD and Kmax in the anterior layer and the whole layer(r=0.164, P=0.016; r=0.152, P=0.023).CONCLUSION: The values of CD peaked at 1 mo after CXL, then it gradually decreased, tending to become stable at 6 mo postoperatively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Xumingtang in Gu Jin Lu Yan （《古今录验》） in regulating cell pyroptosis through the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）/NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 （NLRP3） pathway in ischemic stroke （IS）. MethodSD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group， a model group， low- and high-dose Xumingtang groups， and a metformin group， with 20 rats in each group. Oral administration was performed for 3 days， and tissue samples were collected. Differential messenger RNA （mRNA） was screened using high-throughput sequencing， and Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway analyses were performed on key differentially expressed genes. The modified neurological severity score （mNSS） and 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining were used to evaluate the effect of brain infarction. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used for pathological morphological observation of brain tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to compare the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and interleukin-18 （IL-18） in the ischemic cortical region. Double staining immunohistochemistry was used to detect the co-localization of HIF-1α and NLRP3. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （PCR） was performed to detect the mRNA expression of NLRP3， HIF-1α， Caspase-1 （CASP-1）， and gasdermin D （GSDMD）. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of HIF-1α， NLRP3， CASP-1， and GSDMD. ResultA total of 5 705 differentially expressed genes （2 733 downregulated and 2 972 upregulated） were obtained by mRNA sequencing. After conversion to homologous genes and intersection with the pyroptosis gene set， 95 key differentially expressed pyroptosis genes were obtained. Compared with the sham operation group， the model group showed significantly increased mNSS scores， larger brain infarction areas （P<0.01）， diverse neuronal morphology， disordered arrangement， widened cell gaps， significantly increased levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the ischemic cortical region （P<0.01）， enhanced co-localization fluorescence intensity， and significantly increased mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α， NLRP3， CASP-1， and GSDMD （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high-dose Xumingtang group showed the most significant improvement in neurological function scores and brain infarction areas （P<0.01）. The neuronal integrity and arrangement were more complete， and the cell gaps were narrower in all groups with drug treatment， with significantly reduced co-localization fluorescence intensity. Xumingtang could reduce the levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and the mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α， NLRP3， CASP-1， and GSDMD （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the high-dose Xumingtang group showing the most significant effect （P<0.01）. ConclusionXumingtang in Gu Jin Lu Yan can inhibit cell pyroptosis and promote neurological function recovery after IS， which may be related to the inhibition of the HIF-1α/NLRP3 pathway.

Objective:To find out factors influencing the compliance of supportive treatment of patients with periodontitis who have received implant restoration therapy.Methods:Patients who had completed periodontal and implant restoration treatment for more than 5 years in Department of Periodontology,Pe-king University Hospital of Stomatology were subjected to inclusion between March 2022 and August 2023.A questionnaire was compiled to gather the information including patients'basic information(gen-der,age,and educational background etc.),smoking habits,general health conditions,oral hygiene habits,willingness to undertake periodontal and dental implant supportive treatment,actual fact on sup-portive treatment recorded in medical records,whether medical advices were correctly remembered,and reasons affected them to implement supportive therapy.The questionnaires were handed out to the above patients and filled during the process of follow-up treatment.Chi-square test,univariate and multivariate analysis of Logistic regression were employed to explore the correlations of these factors and the patients'compliance.Results:In the study,92 patients and questionnaires were collected and analyzed.The re-sults indicated that oral hygiene habits and whether medical advices were correctly remembered had sig-nificant correlation with compliance(P＜0.05).Time constraint(47.0％)and difficulty in appointment registration(24.8％)were the top 2 reasons obstructed them to undertake supportive treatment.Al-though the vast majority of the patients indicated willingness to perform follow-ups,55.4％of them wouldn't come back until the dentist called them back.The results of our study also indicated that the patients placed significantly less importance on the health of natural teeth than implants.Conclusion:In order to improve the compliance of supportive treatment,we suggest that dentists should put more empha-sis on oral hygiene instruction,and knowledge regarding periodontitis should also be added as part of pa-tient education contents.In the early stages of treatment,the patient should develop the habit of regular follow-up checks,More attention and patience should be given to elderly patients and those with lower level of education;use language that is easy to understand and printed medical instructions to help them remember.Patients can memorize better from refined doctors'advice,reinforcing care knowledge and refining medical advices can promote better follow-up treatment results.Motivating patients based on their characteristics is critical to improving compliance.

Objective    To explore the surgical technique and preliminary results of endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (E-NSM) and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (BR) with titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TiLoop Bra) via single axillary incision for breast cancer patients. Methods    The clinical data of 9 consecutive female patients who underwent E-NSM and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based BR with TiLoop Bra from  March to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of patients was 40.6 (22-60) years. The operation time, early complications were collected, and the patients' social and mental health, breast satisfaction and chest function before and after the operation were assessed with the BREAST-Q questionnaire. Results    All the patients had unicentric tumor with a mean diameter of 2.4 (0.6-4.7) cm. The mean distance from the tumor to the nipple was 2.5 (2-4) cm. There were 2 patients with tumor stage 0 and 7 patients with stageⅠ. The mean operation time was 161.1 (125-201) min, the mean blood loss was 41.1 mL and the hospital stay time was 1.5 d. There were 5 patients in the day-care unit. All the patients were successfully followed up with a median follow-up time of 1 (1-2) month. One (11.1%) patient with depigmentation of the nipple-areola complex caused by mild ischemia. None of the patients had incision complications, subcutaneous emphysema, hematoma, infection, nipple-areola or skin flaps necrosis, implant loss. During the follow-up period, no local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis was found. Chest well-being was decreased in the first month after the surgery compared with preoperative status, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001). There was no statistical difference in the breast satisfaction or psychosocial function scores between pre- and post-operation (P>0.05). Conclusion    E-NSM and immediate pre-pectoral implant-based BR with TiLoop Bra via single axillary incision has minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, short operation time, few early complications and good early cosmetic effect, and the short-term result is satisfactory.

Chronic wounds in diabetes mellitus is a common complication of diabetes mellitus with complex pathogenesis and long recovery time. At present, there are many kinds of dressings for chronic wounds in diabetes, among which synthetic dressings have obvious therapeutic advantages. As an emerging biomaterial, hydrogel has obvious advantages over traditional dressings in terms of water absorption, air permeability, biocompatibility, drug loading ability, and continuous controlled drug release, and has attracted much attention in the repair of chronic wounds in diabetes mellitus. Common hydrogels have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, tissue-promoting, and hypoglycemic effects. This paper systematically summarizes the progress in research on anti-inflammatory and antibacterial hydrogels in chronic diabetic wounds. Among them, according to different anti-inflammatory and antibacterial mechanisms and materials, common anti-inflammatory hydrogels can be divided into hydrogels loaded with anti-inflammatory drugs, hydrogels based on anti-inflammatory materials, and hydrogels loaded with biological components. Hydrogels can be classified into antibiotic-loaded hydrogels, antibacterial material-based hydrogels, and inorganic nanoparticles-loaded hydrogels. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial hydrogels have achieved certain research results in the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds, but there are still some technical problems waiting for further improvement. Meanwhile, this paper discusses the prospect of the future development of hydrogels applied in chronic diabetic wounds, aiming to provide systematic theoretical support for the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds in the future.
