OBJECTIVE To analyze the current situation of drug use in domestic aeromedical rescue， and provide references for the development of aeromedical rescue services and the rational use of drugs on board. METHODS All literature on aeromedical rescue in China were retrieved from the databases of SinoMed， CNKI， VIP， and Wanfang data up to September 1st， 2024. Extracting descriptive analysis were conducted on the literature screened by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 36 literature were included. Aeromedical rescue cases had been reported in China since 1985， with a cumulative total of 5 370 cases reported. Prehospital rescue performed 861 cases， with 96.40% of them involving the use of at least 9 categories， totaling at least 10 different drugs， primarily emergency drugs. Interhospital rescue performed 4 509 cases， and 85.23% of them used over 48 kinds of drugs across 19 categories， mainly emergency drugs supplemented by specialty drugs. From the view of transportation， 5 166 air transfers were made by helicopters， of which 88.00% involved the use of drugs， and 204 cases by fixed-wing aircraft， of which 91.18% involved the use of drugs. CONCLUSIONS Drugs are frequently used in aeromedical rescue involving a wide variety of types in China. It is imperative to strengthen the focus on the equipment and rational use of drugs in aeromedical rescue， thereby facilitating the establishment of a standardized theoretical framework.

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of Xinnao shutong capsule alleviating cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury （CIRI） in rats by regulating the ferroptosis pathway. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group， model group， Xinnao shutong low-dose， high-dose group （220， 440 mg/kg）， Ginkgo biloba leaves extract group （positive control， 150 mg/kg）. Each group of rats was orally administered with the corresponding medication/normal saline for 7 consecutive days. Transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was adopted to induce the CIRI model； the samples were taken 24 h after the operation； the cerebral infarction area of rats was detected， and the cerebral infarction rate was calculated. The pathological changes of brain tissues were observed， and the levels of lipid peroxide （LPO）， malondialdehyde （MDA） and glutathione （GSH） in cerebral tissue were detected； mRNA and protein expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase 1（HO-1） and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） were all detected in cerebral tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with model group， the cerebral infarction rate， the content of total iron in cerebral tissue and serum level of LPO （except for Ginkgo biloba leaves extract group and Xinnao shutong low-dose group） were all decreased significantly in G. biloba leaves extract group and Xinnao shutong groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the serum level of GSH， the protein and mRNA expressions of Nrf2， HO-1 and GPX4 were all increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological damage to brain tissue was reduced， the number of nerve cells increased， the edema was alleviated， and the nuclear membrane was flattened. CONCLUSIONS Xinnao shutong capsule can inhibit ferroptosis and reduce CIRI， the mechanism of which may be associated with the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the regulatory and an-ti-tumour effects of baicalein on mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cells and mouse macrophage co-cultures.Methods In vitro experiments,mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cell H22 and mouse macrophage RAW264.7 were randomly divided into a blank group and different concentrations of gradient administration group(5,10,20,40,80 mg·L-1),and the cell activity was detec-ted by CCK-8 assay;the two kinds of cells were co-cultured in Transwell chambers of 6-well plates for 48 h,and were randomly divided into the blank,model,and low,medium,and high baicalin groups(10,20,40 mg·L-1).Cell scratch and invasion assays,ELISA kits were used to detect TNF-α and IL-10 factor levels,and Western blot was used to determine the lev-els of CCNA2 and related proteins.The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were detected by ELISA kits,and the ex-pression levels of CCNA2 and related proteins were de-tected by Western blot.In vivo experiments,H22 sub-cutaneous tumour model was established and randomly divided into the blank,positive,model and drug-ad-ministered groups.Mouse spleen,thymus and tumour indices were counted,and immunohistochemistry and Western blot were employed to detect the expression levels of CCNA2 and macrophage-related indexes in tumour tissues.Results Different doses of baicalein had a significant inhibitory effect on H22 and no signif-icant cytotoxicity on M0-type RAW264.7;the mor-phology of M0-type RAW264.7 cells was changed after co-culture,TNF-α was elevated and IL-10 was re-duced in the baicalein group;the results of the cell scratch assay and invasion assay found that baicalein inhibited M2-type macrophage invasion and metastasis;Arg1,p-p38/p38,p-stat3/stat3,N-cadherin,CCNA2 decreased significantly and Inos and E-cadherin in-creased significantly in the baicalein group;CCNA2,CD206 expression decreased significantly and CD86 expression increased significantly in the administered group.Conclusions Baicalein reverses M2-type mac-rophage polarisation and pro-carcinogenic functions and inhibits M2-type macrophage migration and invasion by modulating M2-type macrophage-related signalling pathways.

Objective:To investigate the effect of feeder layer cells expressing interleukin(IL)-21 on the amplification of NK cells in vitro.Methods:The K562 cell line with IL-21 expression on its membrane was constructed by electroporation,and co-cultured with NK cells after inactivation.The proliferation of NK cells was observed.The killing function of the amplified NK cells in vitro was evaluated by the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and interferon-γ(IFN-y)release assay.A colorectal cancer xenograft model in NOD/SCID mice was established,and a blank control group,a NK cell group and an amplified NK cell group were set up to detect the tumor killing effect of amplified NK cells in vivo.Results:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane were successfully constructed by electroporation.After co-culturing with K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane for 17 days,the NK cells increased to 700 times,which showed an enhanced amplification ability compared with control group(P＜0.001).In the tumor cell killing experiment in vitro,there was no significant difference in the killing activity on tumor cells between NK cells and amplified NK cells,and there was also no significant difference in mice in vivo.Conclusion:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane can significantly increase the amplification ability of NK cells in vitro,but do not affect the killing function of NK cells in vitro and in vivo.It can be used for the subsequent large-scale production of NK cells in vitro.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of hematological parameters for PCa with prostate-specific antigen(PSA)of 4-10 μg/L and construct a risk-stratification model with these parameters.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the da-ta on the males undergoing the initial prostatic biopsy in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University with PSA of 4-10 μg/L from March 2010 to April 2021.According to the results of biopsy,we classified the patients into a PCa and a non-PCa group,and compared the hematological parameters between the two groups.We performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses,identified the independent risk factors for PCa,constructed a risk-stratification model for the prediction of PCa and evaluated its effi-ciency.Results:A total of 415 cases were included in this study,107(25.8％)in the PCa and 308(74.2％)in the non-PCa group.Compared with the non-PCa males,the PCa patients showed a significantly older age,higher ratios of neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte,systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),red blood cell distribution width and cystatin C(CysC)level(all P＜0.05),but lower red blood cell count and hemoglobin and free/total PSA(f/tPSA)levels(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis indicated that age,f/tPSA,SII and CysC were independent risk factors for the prediction of PCa(all P＜0.05).Five prediction models were constructed based on the above risk factors,and the area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the four-parameter(age+f/tPSA+SII+CysC)model was 0.745(95％CI:0.694-0.796),significantly higher than those of the other mod-els(P＜0.05).A risk-stratification model(low-,intermediate-,and high-risk)was also constructed based on the total nomogram scores,which showed a comparable performance to that of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System(PI-RADS)for the predic-tion of PCa(AUC:0.727[95％CI:0.650-0.804]vs 0.734[95％CI:0.658-0.811]).However,the prediction rate by the risk-stratification model was evidently higher in the low-risk males than in those with low PI-RADS scores(1-2)(39.4％vs 22.2％).Conclusion:SII and CysC are independent risk factors for the prediction of PCa in patients with gray-zone PSA levels.The risk-stratification model based on age,SII,CysC and f/tPSA is comparable to PI-RADS in the diagnostic efficiency of PCa,with an even higher prediction rate in low-risk patients than in those with low PI-RADS scores,and contributive to precision screening and reduction of excessive biopsies in the diagnosis of PCa with gray-zone PSA.

Objective:To explore the current status of lipid-lowering therapy, the distribution of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and the risk assessment of cardiovascular events recurrence in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated by hypertension.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Patients with CHD combined with hypertension were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Chinese People′s Liberation Army from August 5, 2008 to July 22, 2018 were included, and were divided into standard group and substandard group according to whether LDL-C reached the standard. Study data were obtained from inpatient coronary angiography records and electronic medical records database of Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Chinese People′s Liberation Army, who used data from the first diagnosis of CHD. Clinical data of the selected patients were collected. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the associated factors of whether LDL-C reached the standard in CHD patients with hypertension.Results:A total of 18 800 patients were selected from 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the central government in China, with Beijing accounting for the largest proportion (5 692 patients (30.28%)), followed by Hebei (3 621 patients (19.26%)), Henan (1 837 patients (9.77%)), and Shandong (1 618 patients (8.61%)). Among the selected patients, 1 493 had LDL-C<1.4 mmol/L (standard group), and 17 307 had LDL-C&ge;1.4 mmol/L (substandard group). Only 1 493 patients (7.94%) had LDL-C<1.4 mmol/L. There were 4 518 patients (24.03%), 4 366 patients (23.22%), 6 924 patients (36.83%) and 1 499 patients (7.97%) with LDL-C for 1.4-<2.0, 2.0-<2.5, 2.5-<3.8 and&ge;3.8 mmol/L levels, respectively. 17 855 patients (95.15%) were treated with statins, but only 1 334 patients (7.10%) were treated with statins and ezetimibe. Of the selected patients, 4 986 patients (26.52%) were at low risk, 6 515 patients (34.65%) were at intermediate risk, and 7 299 patients (38.82%) were at high risk. The combined lipid-lowering treatment rates of statin and ezetimibe in the middle-and high-risk patients were 7.43% (484/6 515) and 7.48% (546/7 299), respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age, male, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were positively associated with LDL-C standards in patients with CHD and hypertension, whereas obesity and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were negatively associated with LDL-C standards (all P<0.01). Conclusions:The rate of achieving the standard LDL-C in patients with CHD combined with hypertension was low in China. Although the majority of patients had received moderate-intensity statin therapy, the proportion of statin-treated patients combined with ezetimibe was extremely low. The proportion of high-risk patients with recurrent cardiovascular events was higher in patients with CHD and hypertension in China, whereas the proportion of such patients receiving statin combined with ezetimibe lipid-lowering therapy was lower. This study also found that increasing age, male, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and history of PCI were positively associated with LDL-C standards, while obesity and AMI were negatively associated with LDL-C standards in patients with CHD and hypertension.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)for post-stroke depression(PSD). Methods:A total of 72 PSD patients were randomized into an acupuncture-Tuina group and a Western medicine group using the random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The Western medicine group was treated with fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules.The acupuncture-Tuina group was treated with Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina therapy.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.After treatment,the clinical efficacy was compared,and the changes in Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)score,National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,serum neurotransmitter levels,and electroencephalogram(EEG)were observed. Results:The total effective rate of the Western medicine group and the acupuncture-Tuina group was 83.3%and 94.4%,respectively.There was a significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups(P<0.05).After treatment,the serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),norepinephrine(NE),and dopamine(DA)were higher than those in the same group before treatment,and the intra-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum levels of 5-HT,NE,and DA in the acupuncture-Tuina group were higher than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of HAMD and NIHSS in both groups decreased,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores in the acupuncture-Tuina group were lower than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the EEG diffuse wave[(delta+theta)/(alpha+beta)]ratio(DTABR)and delta/beta ratio(DBR)in both groups decreased,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The ratios in the acupuncture-Tuina group were lower than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion:Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina therapy has a better efficacy than oral fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules in the treatment of PSD,which can increase the levels of serum 5-HT,DA,and NE,and regulate brain waves.

Objective:To investigate the perioperative impact of closure of mesenteric fissure in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. The clinical data of 320 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University et al, from November 2022 to August 2023 were selected. Based on block randomization, patients were alloca-ted into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group. Observa-tion indicators: (1) grouping of the enrolled patients; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) postopera-tive conditions. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) and com-parison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represen-ted as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the rank sum test. Comparison of visual analog scores was analyzed using generalized estimating equations. Results:(1) Grouping of the enrolled patients. A total of 320 patients with colon cancer were screened for eligibility, including 156 males and 164 females, aged 68(59,73)years. All the 320 patients were allocated into the mesenteric fissure non-closure group with 164 cases and the mesenteric fissure closure group with 156 cases. There was no significant difference in the age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, maximum tumor diameter, anastomosis location, anastomosis method, surgical approach, range of lymph node dissection, tumor staging between the two groups ( P>0.05) and there was a significant difference in the sex between them ( P<0.05). (2) Intraoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, conversion to laparotomy, intraoperative complication ( P>0.05). Three patients in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group were converted to laparotomy. One patient in the mesenteric fissure closure group was converted to laparotomy, and 2 cases with intraoperative complication were mesenteric hematoma. (3) Postoperative conditions. There was no significant difference between the mesenteric fissure non-closure group and the mesenteric fissure closure group in the overall postoperative complications ( χ2=0.28, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative intestinal obstruction, abdominal distension, ascites, pleural effusion, gastric paralysis, anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic leakage, or surgical wound infection between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the reoperation, postoperative gastric tube replacement. There was no significant differ-ence in time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, time to post-operative resumption of bowel movements, duration of postoperative hospital stay, total hospital expenses between the two groups ( Z=-0.01, 0.43, 1.04, -0.54, -0.36, P>0.05). One patient in the mesenteric fissure non-closure group received reoperation. No perioperative internal hernia or death occurred in either group. The visual analog score decreased with time in both groups. There was no significant difference in the visual analog score between the mesenteric fissure closure group and the mesenteric fissure non-closure group [ β=-0.20(-0.53,0.13), P>0.05]. Conclusion:Compared with closure of mesenteric fissure, non-closure of mesenteric fissure during laparoscopic right hemi-colectomy dose not increase perioperative complications or postoperative management risk.

The patient,a 42-year-old male,with a history of hepatitis B and membranous nephropathy,had inter-mittent fever and chills 12 days before admission.In the first 2 days after admission,the patient's condition aggra-vated with redness,swelling and pain in the left scrotum and perineum.Immediate surgical debridement was per-formed.The patient had a persistent low fever,with blood and pus cultures showing Candida albicans positive,thus was diagnosed fungal necrotizing fasciitis and pyomyositis.The patient was treated with echinocandins mica-fungin(150 mg,qd)for antifungal infection,and was given encroaching dressing change,hyperbaric oxygen thera-py,nutritional support,etc.Two months after surgery,the patient's condition improved and he was discharged.The early clinical symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis and pyomyositis caused by Streptococcus spp.infection lack spe-cificity,thus are prone to be delayed.For patients with concomitant immune diseases,attention should be paid to the prevention and early treatment of complex infection.The appropriate selection of empirical antifungal agents at the early stage has clinical significance.
