Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a global social problem. It is important to slow down the progression of CKD for economic and social concerns. In recent years, it has been found that colon is one of the vital organs which produce uremic toxins. And enterogenous uremic toxins are closely related to the prognosis of CKD. Theory of gut-kidney axis for the slowdown of CKD progression was raised by foreign scholars and became the research hot spot. Colon therapy with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used in clinical practice and is believed to slow down the progression of CKD by numerous clinical reports. However, low re-search quality and ambiguous results limited its further application. Under the guidance of senior TCM Professor Huang Chunlin, who emphasized the method of draining turbidity through bowels in the management of CKD, from the Nephrology Center, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, as well as the modern theory of gut-kidney axis, we had carried out a series of exploratory researches which will provide data and methodology support for further confirmatory studies and improve its effectiveness.

To establish an orthotopic transplant mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) labeled with secretary luciferase and to study its response to anti-tumor treatment with interferon-beta gene therapy. We labeled the murine hepatoma Hepal-6 cells with secretary Gaussia princeps luciferase (Gluc), and then injected Gluc labeled Hepal-6 cells intrasplenically in C57BL/6 mice. We monitored blood Glue to evaluate the tumor development and anti-tumor effects of hydrodynamic injection with interferon-beta expressing plasmid. We successfully established the orthotopic mouse model of HCC by intrasplenic injection of Glue labeled Hepal-6 cells. The Glue blood assay could reflect the amount of cancer cells in vivo, tumor progression, as well as anti-tumor effect of interferon-beta gene therapy. In conclusion, Gluc labeled orthotopic transplant mouse model of HCC can ex vivo real-time monitor the tumor development and tumor response to treatments.

We evaluated the anti-HBV effects of nucleotide analogues, Entecavir (ETV) and Lamivudine (LAM) targeting mouse model of HBV persistent infection with recombinant adeno-associated virus 8 carrying 1.3 copies of HBV genome (rAAV8-1.3HBV). Ninety percent (27 of 30 mice) of rAAVS-treated mice were chosen as mouse model. Four groups were orally administrated with different doses of ETV (1 mg/(kgd) or 0.1 mg/(kgd)) and LAM (500 mg/(kgd) or 100 mg/(kgd)) once a day for 10 days. The other two groups were set as normal saline treated and untreated control. We detected the levels of HBV DNA, HBeAg and HBsAg in sera at different time. Results indicate that HBV DNA level decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in drug-treated groups compared with normal saline group after drug administration. Fifteen days after the drug withdrawal, HBV DNA level rebounded back obviously (P < 0.05) in groups with low doses of ETV and LAM. However, there was no apparent change of HBeAg and HBsAg in the whole process among all groups. These results showed that our model could reflect the anti-viral effect of nucleotide analogues. This model can be a useful and convenient tool for anti-HBV drug discovery.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic renal structure change and dysfunction caused by a variety of causes.The incidence and prevalence of CKD have been on the rise,becoming a major global health problem.An increasing number of studies had shown that one of the important indicators of CKD progression was the disorder of gut microbiome and elevated levels of sernm endotoxin.Modern physicians of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believed that the main pathogenesis of CKD was spleen and kidney deficiency.And the therapeutic regimen was invigorating spleen and nourishing the kidney.Spleen is in the middle burner.It has the function of transportation and resistance to evil,which was extremely similar to the function of gut microbiome in metabolism and immunity.The latter might be one of the biological bases of physiological function of spleen.This comprehensive review presented the modern theoretical basis of spleen-based TCM treatment methods for CKD from the insight of modern gut microbiome and metabolism.Firstly,gut microbiome and its metabolism were associated with the spleen in TCM theory.Gut microbiome affected individual metabolism and immune function,which could provide a modern biological basis for explaining the physiological function of the spleen.Secondly,gut microbiome and its metabolism were correlated with CKD:intestinal flora disturbance occurred in CKD patients,producing enterogenous toxins as their metabolites,which become the important factors affecting prognosis.Thirdly,as for its origin,development and current status based on the spleen theory,CKD was one of various consumptive diseases.Spleen insufficiency was one of their critical pathogenic mechanisms.Therefore,tonifying the spleen should be a treatment method to maintain throughout the entire treatment.On the basis of our previous clinical studies and the hypothesis of gut microbiome and metabolism,we proposed further studies which were also based on system biology and its technology.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of totally no tube three-port thoracoscopic surgery (TNTT) for thymic tumor via lateral thoracic approach. Methods The clinical data of patients with thymoma admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from November 2021 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a TNTT group and a single utility port video-assisted thoracic surgery (SVATS) group according to different surgical methods. The clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 111 patients were collected. There were 44 patients in the TNTT group, including 20 males and 24 females, with an average age of 60.11±8.64 years, and 67 patients in the SVATS group, including 30 males and 37 females, with an average age of 62.40±7.92 years. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the baseline data (P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay and intraoperative blood loss were shorter or less in the TNTT group (P<0.05), and the visual analogue scale score 48 hours after the operation was smaller in the SVATS group (P<0.05). Conclusion TNTT has a good surgical safety, and can shorten postoperative hospital stay, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and has significant advantages in enhanced recovery after surgery, but SVATS can reduce postoperative pain in patients.

Acupuncture expectation refers to the subjective estimation for the effect of acupuncture to be applied. As sham acupuncture is usually used in acupuncture randomized clinical trials,there exists the effect of acupuncture expectation on subjects. It is necessary to evaluate and standardize it. The factors that influence the evaluation standard of acupuncture expectations are different acupuncture expectation value evaluations,evaluation criterions and time points. They will affect the evaluation of clinical efficacy. It is urgent to establish a unified evaluation standard to improve its reliability.

Objective To analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy. Methods Cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was used to analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy performed by the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from February 2018 to December 2020. The learning curve was obtained by fitting, and R2 was used to judge the goodness of fitting. The clinical data of patients in different stages of learning curve were compared and analyzed. Results The first 50 patients who received Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy were included, including 24 males and 26 females, with an average age of 61.9±10.6 years. The operation time decreased gradually with the accumulation of operation patients. The goodness of fitting coefficient reached the maximum value when R2=0.907 (P<0.001), CUSUM (n) =0.009×n3−0.953×n2+24.968×n−7.033 (n was the number of patients). The fitting curve achieved vertex crossing when the number of patients reached 17. Based on this, 50 patients were divided into two stages: a learning and improving stage and a mastering stage. There were statistical differences in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, number of lymph node dissection, postoperative catheter time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications between the two stages (P<0.05). Conclusion It shows that the technical competency for assuring feasible perioperative outcomes can be achieved when the cumulative number of surgical patients reaches 17.
