Objective To study the state, feature and risk factors of bacterial infection in patients with liver cirrhosis, find out the influence of infection on prognosis, and provide scientific basis for its prevention and treatment. Methods Three hundred and twenty-three patients with liver cirrhosis were analyzed. The number of the patients with infection, the location of infection, clinical feature as well as the kind of pathogenic bacteria were analyzed. Unconditional Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of bacterial infection. Results The overall infection rate was 39.94% (129/323),of which community acquired infection rate and nosocomial infection rate were 22.60% (73/323) and 17.34%(56/323) respectively. The most common location of infection in turn were respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract,biliary tract and abdominal cavity. The main pathogenic bacteria was Gram-negative bacillus, most of which had drug resistance for cefquinome and quinolones. The risk factors related with bacterial infection included liver cancer, Child-Pugh class B and C grade of liver function, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, diabetes mellitus,invasive operations and the length of staying in hospital. Conclusions The incidence rate of infection in patients with liver cirrhosis is higher. Multiple factors are likely to affect the incidence rate of infection in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Ma-Xing Shi-Gan decoction combined with Xiao-Chai-Hu decoction (hereinafter referred to as " Sanyang combined treatment" ) in alleviating colon injury in mice infected with influenza virus by transcriptome sequencing technique.Methods:The mouse model of colonic injury caused by influenza virus was induced by intranasal drip of influenza A virus H1N1 suspension. The mice were divided into Control group, Model group, and Sanyang combined treatment (SCT) group. Model group and SCT group were fed with PBS and Ma-Xing Shi-Gan decoction combined with Xiao-Chai-Hu decoction respectively. Seven days later, the colon tissues of each group were taken, the colon length and pathological damage were observed, and the transcriptome was sequenced to screen the significantly different genes between the SCT group and model group for Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA).Results:After the therapy with SCT, the length of the colon of mice was significantly improved and the pathological injury of the colon was reduced. There are 92 differentially expressed genes between the SCT group and the model group. GO analysis indicated that the differential genes were enriched in biological processes such as regulation of cytokine and chemokine production, inflammatory response, defense response, immune response, regulation of NF-κB inducing kinase(NIK)/Nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) signal and Mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) cascade, as well as cell components related to intestinal barrier such as brush border membrane, brush border and microvilli. KEGG analysis indicated that the differential genes were enriched in Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, intestinal immune network for IgA production, complement and coagulation cascade, and Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR) signaling pathway. GSEA indicated that the intestinal immune network for IgA production, PPAR signaling pathway, propionic acid metabolism and butyrate metabolism were significantly up-regulated after the intervention with SCT, while apoptosis and MAPK signaling pathway were significantly down-regulated.Conclusions:Sanyang combined therapy can protect the intestinal tract of mice infected with influenza virus mainly through immunity, inflammation and metabolism pathways.

Chronic heart failure is the terminal stage of various cardiovascular diseases, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis is the turning point of decompensation. Studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) could regulate apoptosis-related signaling pathways and factors and inhibit or up-regulate the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. Thus, TCM can reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, protect the myocardial tissue and improve the cardiac function, demonstrating remarkable clinical effects. In recent years, the research on the treatment of chronic heart failure based on the inhibition of cardiomyocyte apoptosis is increasing and becomes the current research hotspot. On the basis of literature review, this paper discovers that TCM regulates apoptosis factors and multiple signaling pathways to inhibit apoptosis and inflammation and delay the progression of chronic heart failure through classical pathways such as the death receptor pathway, the mitochondrial pathway, and the endoplasmic reticulum pathway. At the same time, the studies in this field have the following problems: Repeated studies with shallow, simple, and fragmented contents, treating animal models with TCM prescriptions without syndrome differentiation, treating diseases with drugs at only one concentration which is insufficient to indicate efficacy, and lacking comprehensive, holistic, and systematic studies on the relationships of apoptosis with inflammatory responses, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy. In the future, more scientific, reasonable, comprehensive, and feasible experimental schemes should be designed on the basis of comprehensively mastering the research progress in this field, and the communication and cooperation between researchers in different disciplines should be strengthened. The specific pathological mechanism of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in chronic heart failure and the signaling pathways, active components, and action targets of TCM in inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis in chronic heart failure should be elucidated. Such efforts are expected to provide sufficient reference for the clinical treatment of chronic heart failure.

Blast injury of the chest injury is the most common wound in modern war trauma and terrorist attacks, and is also the most fatal type of whole body explosion injury. Most patients with severe blast injury of the chest die in the early stage before hospitalization or during transportation, so first aid is critically important. At present, there exist widespread problems such as non-standard treatment and large difference in curative effect, while there lacks clinical treatment standards for blast injury of the chest. According to the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement, the Trauma Society of Chinese Medical Association has formulated the guidance of classification, pre-hospital first aid, in-hospital treatment and major injury management strategies for blast injury of the chest, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
