Salvia miltiorrhiza (S. miltiorrhiza) represents a crucial component of traditional Chinese medicine, demonstrating effects on blood circulation activation and stasis removal, and has been widely utilized in asthma treatment. This study isolated a novel phenolic acid (S1) from S. miltiorrhiza and investigated its anti-asthmatic activity and underlying mechanisms for the first time. An allergic asthma (AA) model was established using ovalbumin (OVA). The mechanism of S1's effects on AA was investigated using multi-factor joint analysis, flow cytometry, and co-culture systems to facilitate clinical asthma treatment. S1 (10 or 20 mg·kg^-1) was administered daily to mice with OVA-induced AA (OVA-AA) during days 21-25. The study examined airway responsiveness, lung damage, inflammation, and levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE), PGD2, interleukins (IL-4, 5, 10, 13, 17A), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), GM-CSF, CXCL1, CCL11, and mMCP-1. Additionally, mast cell (MC) activation and degranulation were explored, along with T helper type 17 (Th17)/Treg immune cells and TLR4 pathway biomarkers. The antagonistic activity of that specific antagonist of TLR4 (TAK-242) (1 µmol·L^-1), a specific TLR4 blocker, against S1 (10 µmol·L^-1) was examined in co-cultured 16HBE cells and bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) or splenic lymphocytes (SLs) induced with LPS (1 µg·mL^-1) to elucidate the TLR4 pathway's mediating role. S1 demonstrated reduced airway responsiveness, lung damage, and inflammation, with downregulation of IgE, PGD2, interleukins, TNF-α, GM-CSF, CXCL1, CCL11, and mMCP-1. It also impeded MC activation and degranulation, upregulated IL-10, and influenced Th17/Treg immune cell transformation following OVA challenge. Furthermore, S1 inhibited the TLR4 pathway in OVA-AA mice, and TLR4 antagonism enhanced S1's positive effects. Analysis using an OVA-AA mouse model demonstrated that S1 alleviates AA clinical symptoms, restores lung function, and inhibits airway response. S1's therapeutic effects occur through regulation of Th17/Treg immune cells and inflammation, attributable at least partially to the TLR4 pathway. This study provides molecular justification for S1 in AA treatment.

Depression is a common mental illness in adolescents, and some patients do not respond well after medication, which may be partly related to vitamin D deficiency and insufficient calcium intake. This paper reports a 15-year-old patient with depression, whose condition was still unstable and the effect was not good despite routine use of antidepressant drugs and psychological intervention. After adequate supplementation of vitamin D and calcium, the patient's depression improved significantly, and the follow-up for 4 months, the condition was stable and did not recur.

Surgery is the mainstay of lung cancer treatment options.Traditionally,lobectomy has held its place as the gold standard for treating localized lung cancer,while sublobar resection,including wedge resection and segmentectomy,was primarily considered as an alternative,often reserved for patient ineligible to sustain a radical intervention.However,with the widespread application of computed tomography(CT)to clinical practice,the increasing detection rate of pulmonary ground glass nodules(GGNs)has reshaped this landscape.Ground glass opacity(GGO)in persistent lung nodules is an indicative factor of a favorable prognosis,typically corresponding to pathological changes such as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia(AAH),adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS),or adenocarcinomas predominantly featuring a lepidic growth pattern.A large number of retrospective studies have shown that sublobar resection can achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes for such lesions.A series of prospective studies from Japan have confirmed that for early-stage lung cancers dominated by GGOs,sublobar resection is also a viable curative surgical option.The follow-up data showed that there was no statistical difference in the survival status of these patients compared with that of pulmonary lobectomy.This article aims to delve into the role of limited lung resection in the context of lung adenocarcinoma presenting with GGO features.

Objective:To investigate the value of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) in predicting mortality of pediatric sepsis in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) from Southwest China.Methods:This was a prospective multicenter observational study. A total of 447 children with sepsis admitted to 12 PICU in Southwest China from April 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Based on the prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. The physiological parameters of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS were recorded and scored within 24 h after PICU admission. The general clinical data and some laboratory results were recorded. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive value of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS in mortality of pediatric sepsis.Results:Amongst 447 children with sepsis, 260 patients were male and 187 patients were female, aged 2.5 (0.8, 7.0) years, 405 patients were in the survival group and 42 patients were in the non-survival group. 418 patients (93.5%) met the criteria of SIRS, and 440 patients (98.4%) met the criteria of pSOFA≥2. There was no significant difference in the number of items meeting the SIRS criteria between the survival group and the non-survival group (3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 4) points, Z=1.30, P=0.192). The pSOFA score of the non-survival group was significantly higher than that of the survival group (9(6, 12) vs. 4(3, 7) points, Z=6.56, P<0.001), and the PCIS score was significantly lower than that of the survival group (72(68, 81) vs. 82(76, 88) points, Z=5.90, P<0.001). The predictive value of pSOFA (AUC=0.82) and PCIS (AUC=0.78) for sepsis mortality was significantly higher than that of SIRS (AUC=0.56) ( Z=6.59, 4.23, both P<0.001). There was no significant difference between pSOFA and PCIS ( Z=1.35, P=0.176). Platelet count, procalcitonin, lactic acid, albumin, creatinine, total bilirubin, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio were all able to predict mortality of sepsis to a certain degree (AUC=0.64, 0.68, 0.80, 0.64, 0.68, 0.60, 0.77, 0.75, 0.76, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with SIRS, both pSOFA and PCIS had better predictive value in the mortality of pediatric sepsis in PICU.

Objective:To study the clinical value of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS) strategy combined with early intestinal fluid reinfusion among neonates receiving jejunostomy due to intestinal obstruction.Methods:From December 2018 to December 2022, neonates with intestinal obstruction receiving jejunostomy in the Department of Neonatal Surgery of our hospital were prospectively enrolled. They were randomly assigned into ERAS group and traditional treatment (TT) group after surgery. The ERAS group was treated with ERAS strategy plus early intestinal fluid reinfusion. The TT group was treated with conventional gastrointestinal decompression, analgesia as needed and enteric fluid reinfusion according to the amount of defecation. The postoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) duration (T pn), central venous catheter (CVC) duration (T cvc), daily weight gain, duration of postoperative hospital stay (T hos), complications and readmission rate within 30 days were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 22 cases were included in the ERAS group and 20 cases were in the TT group. T pn [(22.6±9.4) d vs. (30.7±11.3) d], T cvc [(5.9±0.8) d vs. (9.9±2.1) d] and T hos [(26.8±9.8) d vs. (33.8±11.5) d] in the ERAS group were significantly shorter than the TT group ( P<0.05). No significant difference existed in daily weight gain between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative gastrointestinal mucosal bleeding in the ERAS group was significantly lower than the TT group (13.6% vs. 45.0%)( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the following items between the two groups: feeding intolerance, PN-associated cholestasis, CVC-related bloodstream infection, intestinal fluid reinfusion-related complications, premature closure of fistula and readmission rate within 30 days (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of ERAS strategy plus early intestinal fluid reinfusion in neonates with enterostomy is safe and feasible, which can reduce the postoperative durations of PN, CVC and hospital stay and accelerate the recovery.

Objective To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with desflurane anesthesia on cerebral oxygen metabolism,sedation depth and cerebral function in liver cancer patients undergoing partial hepatic lobectomy.Methods A total of 30 liver cancer patients undergoing partial hepatic lobectomy at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March to September 2022 were selected as the research subjects,they were divided into control group(n=15)and observation group(n=15)according to different anesthesia methods.Patients in both groups underwent partial open hepatectomy,and they were given the same anesthesia induction method.The patients in the control group received desflurane for anesthesia mainte-nance,while patients in the observation group received dexmedetomidine combined with desflurane for anesthesia maintenance.The anesthesia recovery indexes including the postoperative recovery time,recovery time of spontaneous breathing,eye-opening time of patients between the two groups were compared.The arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2),cervical vein oxygen saturation(SjvO2),arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)and partial pressure of venous oxygen of patients were detected by blood gas analyzer before anesthesia induction(T0),at the completion of anesthesia induction(T,),at 10 minutes after hepatic portal occlusion(T2),after hepatic lobectomy(T3)and after surgery(T4),and arterio-venous oxygen content difference(AVDO2)and cerebral oxygen extraction rate(CEO2)were calculated.The sedation depth of patients was evaluated by bispectral index(BIS)and patient state index(PSI)at T0,T1,T2,T3 and T4.The cerebral function of patients was evaluated by the Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category scale at 3 months after surgery.The incidence of postoperative adverse reactions of patients between the two groups was compared.Results The postoperative recovery time,recovery time of sponta-neous breathing and eye-opening time of patients in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in SaO2 of patients between the two groups at different time points(P＞0.05).At T2 and T3,SjvO2,AVDO2 and CEO2 of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in SjvO2,AVDO2 and CEO2 of patients between the two groups at the other time points(P＞0.05).At T2,T3 and T4,BIS and PSI of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in BIS and PSI of patients between the two groups at T0 and T1(P＞0.05).In the control group,there were 11 patients with postoperative brain function in grade 1,3 patients in grade Ⅱ and 1 patient in grade Ⅲ;in the observation group,there were 12 patients in grade Ⅰ and 3 patients in gradeⅡ.There was no significant difference in postoperative grading of brain function between the two groups(x2=1.044,P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the control group and observation group[20.00％(3/15)vs 26.67％(4/15),x2=0.186,P＞0.05].Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with desflurane anesthesia can shorten anesthesia recovery time,improve anesthesia depth and reduce cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients undergoing liver cancer surgery,which has no effect on cerebral function,showing good safety.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.
