Objective To evaluate the effect of manual massage on complications after endoscopic foam sclerotherapy injection for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids.Methods Consecutive 113 patients with grade Ⅰinternal hemorrhoids were prospectively enrolled and completed endoscopic foam sclerotherapy.The patients were randomly divided into a massage group(n=65)and a control group(n=68).Massage group performed manual perianal massage,Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate perianal pain.The postoperative bleeding,short-term and long-term efficacy were also compared.Results The median VAS of 24 h postoperation was 1.0(0.0,3.0)in massage group,which was significantly lower than 2.0(1.0,4.0)in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.014).The no bleeding rate of one week postoperation was 84.6％in massage group,which was significantly higher than 64.7％in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.009).After 12 weeks,6 months and 12 months of follow-up,there were no significant differences in cure rate and remission rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Manual massage after endoscopic sclerosing agent injection is beneficial to relieve postoperative pain of grade Ⅰ internal hemorrhoids and reduce bleeding.

Objective:To quantitatively analyze infection prevention and control policy texts related to medical alliance, aiming to provide reference for further policy improvement.Methods:with the " medical alliance" and " infection prevention and control" as keywords, relevant policy documents issued from January 2015 to March 2023 were searched on the Chinese government website, the official website of the National Health Commission, and the Peking University law database. Content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze policy texts from two dimensions: policy tools (supply oriented, environmental oriented, demand oriented) and systems theory (management, service, human resources, and financing systems as internal subsystems, while political, economic, social, and technological systems as external subsystems).Results:A total of 91 infection prevention and control policy documents related to medical alliance were included, and 199 codes were obtained. There were 114, 78, and 7 codes for environmental oriented, supply oriented, and demand oriented policy tools, respectively; among the demand oriented tools, there were only 1 code for government purchases, 1 code for price subsidies, and 5 codes for demonstration project sub tools, respectively. The internal subsystem had a total of 119 codes, with only 2 codes related to the fundraising system; and the external subsystem had a total of 80 codes, with the least 10 codes related to the technical system.Conclusions:The structure of infection prevention and control policy tools in China′s medical alliance needed to be optimized, and the application of demand oriented policy tools was insufficient. It is necessary to strengthen the use of pull tools such as government purchases, price subsidies, and demonstration projects. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the construction of internal and external systems, especially in terms of fundraising and technology systems, to enhance the overall effectiveness of the medical alliance′s infection prevention and control system.

Objective:To investigate the effects of compound Duzhong Jiangu Granules on joint function and gut microbiota in patients with Kashin-Beck disease.Methods:A single group pre- and post-experimental design was conducted, the patients with Kashin-Beck disease were selected as the subjects in Xunyi County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province; and treated with oral administration of compound Duzhong Jiangu Granules (12 g/bag, 1 bag/time, 3 times/day) for a period of 1 month. The improvement of joint function was evaluated using the joint dysfunction index scoring method before and after treatment. Morning stool samples of patients were collected and the changes in gut microbiota were analyzed before and after treatment using 16S rDNA sequencing technology.Results:A total of 87 patients with Kashin-Beck disease were included, including 44 males and 43 females; the age was (60.38 ± 7.12) years old, and the body mass index was (23.67 ± 3.59) kg/m 2. The comprehensive scores of joint dysfunction index for patients with Kashin-Beck disease before and after treatment were (7.27 ± 2.05) and (5.86 ± 2.01) points, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.88, P < 0.001). The sequencing results of gut microbiota showed that there were statistically significant differences in the alpha diversity (chao1, observed species index) and beta diversity of gut microbiota in patients with Kashin-Beck disease before and after treatment ( Z = - 5.08, - 5.03, R = 0.09, P < 0.001). In the distribution of gut microbiota, Firmicutes was the dominant phylum, with relative abundances of 50.21% and 52.09% before and after treatment, respectively; the Bifidobacterium was the dominant bacterial genus, with relative abundances of 16.83% and 18.81% before and after treatment, respectively. At the genus level, a total of 17 gut microbiota genera were screened out, among which the relative abundances of Hafnia-Obesumbacterium, Gammaproteobacteria_unclassified, Acinetobacter, Pantoea, Leuconostoc, and Akkermanisia were significantly higher than before treatment ( Z = - 2.40, - 2.24, - 2.06, - 3.59, - 2.24, - 2.11, P < 0.05). The relative abundances of Dubosiella, Selenomonas, Anaeroplasma, Lachnospiraceae_ NK4A136_group, Rikenella, Prevotella, Megasphaera, Lactobacillus, Prevotella-9, Phascolarctobacterium, and Desulfovibrio were significantly lower than before treatment ( Z = - 9.38, - 2.61, - 2.18, - 8.43, - 2.45, - 2.46, - 2.49, - 7.29, - 2.29, - 2.55, - 2.08, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Compound Duzhong Jiangu Granules can effectively improve the joint function of patients with Kashin-Beck disease, and alter the diversity and richness of the gut microbiota community. It may reduce clinical symptoms in patients by regulating the structure of gut microbiota.

Diabetes has long been considered a risk factor in implant therapy and impaired wound healing in soft and hard oral tissues. Magnesium has been proved to promote bone healing under normal conditions. Here, we elucidate the mechanism by which Mg²⁺ promotes angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic status. We generated a diabetic mice model and demonstrated the alveolar bone healing was compromised, with significantly decreased angiogenesis. We then developed Mg-coating implants with hydrothermal synthesis. These implants successfully improved the vascularization and osseointegration in diabetic status. Mechanically, Mg²⁺ promoted the degradation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and the nucleation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by up-regulating the expression of sestrin 2 (SESN2) in endothelial cells, thus reducing the elevated levels of oxidative stress in mitochondria and relieving endothelial cell dysfunction under hyperglycemia. Altogether, our data suggested that Mg²⁺ promoted angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic mice by regulating endothelial mitochondrial metabolism.
