Objective To establish the functional constipated mouse model by compound diphenoxylate, and explore the anti-constipation effect of black garlic polysaccharide. Methods Mouse small intestine ink propulsion experiment and mouse defecation experiment were carried out respectively. The mice in each experiment were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive group and black garlic polysaccharide （0.25, 0.5, 1 g/kg） groups. Mice in blank group and model group were given distilled water, and in positive group were given lactulose oral solution. Compound diphenoxylate （5 mg/kg） was intragastric administrated after 1 week of administration, and small intestine propulsion experiment and defecation experiment were conducted respectively. Results Compared with model group, intestinal propulsion rate of black garlic polysaccharide groups was significantly increased and first dejection time was significantly shorten, and the number, weight and fecal water content increased significantly at 6 h in middle and high dose groups. Conclusion Black garlic polysaccharide could promote intestinal propelling, shorten defecation time and increase fecal water content.

Cardiovascular diseases （CVD），a group of common diseases in clinical practice，are witnessing a steady rise in both incidence and mortality rates，posing a challenge to public health. Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber （《金匮要略》），was initially used to treat severe cases of chest impediment. The formula consists of Trichosanthis Fructus，Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus，Pinelliae Rhizoma，and Baijiu. It has a wide range of clinical applications，with therapeutic effects including moving Qi to relieve depression，activating Yang to dissipate mass，and expelling phlegm to alleviate chest congestion. In recent years，clinical research has confirmed that Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，with or without modification，used alone or in combination with Western medicine，has definite effects in the treatment of CVD such as hyperlipidemia，coronary atherosclerotic heart disease，hypertension，heart failure，and arrhythmia. It can alleviate disease symptoms and reduce the risk of re-hospitalization. Basic research indicates that the mechanisms of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang include improving endothelial functions，exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties，countering oxidative stress，preventing apoptosis，inhibiting ventricular remodeling，regulating mitochondrial functions，improving hemorheology，and modulating autophagy and neurotransmitters. This article reviews relevant articles in recent years with focuses on the compatibility，clinical application，and mechanism of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang. This review is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism research and clinical application of this formula in treating CVD and to offer ideas and reference for in-depth research.

Objective: To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs. Methods: Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test. Results: From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students. Conclusion Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of CD20 coding gene （MS4A1） polymorphism on the blood concentration and efficacy of rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted on 160 newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients who received the R-CHOP regimen at the Sun Yat Sen University Cancer Center from January 2016 to December 2020， with a minimum follow-up period of approximately 5 years. The blood concentration of rituximab was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. MS4A1 tagSNPs were selected by Haploview4.2 software， including rs1051461， rs17155034， rs4939364， and rs10501385. The genotype of MS4A1 was detected by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Univariate linear regression analysis was employed to examine the correlation between various factors（demographic， clinical， and genotypic variables） in patients and the steady-state trough concentration of rituximab during the first course of treatment， followed by multivariate linear regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to evaluate progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （OS）. Using MS4A1 genotype and tumor stage as independent variables， Cox regression model was employed to evaluate the factors influencing patient prognosis. RESULTS The blood concentration of rituximab in MS4A1 rs10501385 CC carriers was 15.20 μg/mL，which was significantly lower than 21.95 μg/mL in AA+AC carriers （P＜0.05）. The multivariate linear regression model incorporating tumor stage and MS4A1 rs10501385 polymorphism explained 7.3% of the interindividual variability in rituximab concentrations. Compared with MS4A1 rs1051461 CC carriers， CT+TT carriers had significantly prolonged PFS and OS （P＜0.05）. The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the MS4A1 rs1051461 CC genotype （HR＝4.406， 95%CI：1.743-11.137， P＜0.05） and tumor Ⅲ&Ⅳ （HR＝3.233， 95%CI： 1.413-7.399， P＜0.05） were independent risk factors for PFS. CONCLUSIONS The tumor staging and MS4A1 rs10501385 polymorphism are key influencing factors for blood concentration of rituximab， and MS4A1 rs1051461 polymorphism significantly affects PFS in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for unsatisfactory early pain relief after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study, included 208 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2019 to March 2020. According to the early pain relief after PVP, they were divided into good pain relief group ( n=188) and poor pain relief group ( n=20). Influence factors were record and compare, including the gender, age, preoperative lumbar bone density, body mass index, number of fractured vertebral bodies, degree of fracture compression, operation time, bone cement leakage, bone cement dispersion, thoracolumbar fascia injury, sarcopenia, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score and visual analogue score of pain between the two groups. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and independent samples t-test was used for comparison between groups; the Chi-square was used for comparison of count data between groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the independent risk factors for poor early pain relief after PVP. Results:All patients underwent surgery successfully, without serious complications such as cement embolism, cardio-cerebrovascular accident, epidural hematoma, spinal cord and nerve injury. There were no significant differences in operation time, bone cement leakage and bone cement diffusion between the two groups ( P>0.05). The statistical results showed that compared with the good pain relief group, the patients with poor pain relief group had lower preoperative lumbar bone density ( t=2.35, P=0.020), higher proportion of thoracolumbar fascial injury ( χ2=8.66, P=0.003) and sarcopenia( χ2=7.15, P=0.007), higher preoperative HADS score ( t=2.51, P=0.013). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that lower preoperative bone density, higher preoperative HADS score, and higher proportion of thoracolumbar fascia injury and sarcopenia were independent influencing factors for poor early pain relief after PVP. Conclusions:The poor early pain relief after PVP is associated with lower preoperative lumbar bone density, preoperative complications such as thoracolumbar fascial injury, sarcopenia, and preoperative anxiety. Effective prevention of the above factors should be taken during the perioperative period to avoid serious complications.

Objective:To analyze the safety and efficacy of single percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of multi-segment osteolytic spinal metastases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 113 patients with multi-segment osteolytic spinal metastases treated with PVP at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2013 to December 2019, including 50 males and 63 females. The age ranged from 47 to 85 years, with a mean of (66.9±1.52) years. Patients were divided into two groups based on the number of affected vertebrae undergoing surgery: the conventional surgery group ( n=72), with a maximum of three vertebral bodies undergoing PVP during each surgery; the multivertebral surgery group ( n=41), received PVP on more than three vertebral bodies in one surgery. Visual analogue scale(VAS) of pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), general health status (GH), and mental health status (MH) were assessed before and after PVP to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure. Complications of the patients were systematically assessed to evaluate safety. Measurement data was expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), independent sample t-test was used for inter-group comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison; the comparison of count data was conducted using Chi-square test. Results:After 6 months of surgery, the ODI score, GH score and MH score of the conventional surgery group was (35.28±1.74)%, 57.85±2.11 and 61.20±3.67, all of which improved significantly compared to before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After 6 months of surgery, the ODI score, GH score and MH score of the multivertebral surgery group was (35.67±1.92)%, 64.12±1.35 and 59.80±3.81, all of which improved significantly compared to before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ODI score and MH score between the two groups after 6 months of surgery ( P>0.05). At one week after surgery, the pain VAS score in the conventional surgery group (3.51±0.21) was lower than that in the multivertebral surgery group (3.98±0.32), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). GH score in the conventional surgery group showed significantly greater improvement than that in the multivertebral surgery group after 6 months of surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Bone cement leakage occurred in 21 vertebra of the conventional surgery group, and 24 vertebra of the multivertebral surgery group, with leakage rates of 14.8% and 13.0%, respectively, with no statistical significance between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Single PVP surgery can safely and effectively alleviate the pain of multi-segment osteolytic spinal metastases and improve spinal mobility. Meanwhile, improving mental health and reducing functional impairments. But the short-term pain relief and long-term general health of the multivertebral surgery group were lower than those of the conventional surgery group.

Objective:To explore interspinous fusion capacity after interspinous distraction fusion (ISDF) device implantation, a preliminary biomechanical analysis and histological evaluation were performed.Methods:The experimental animals were procured from the Science and Research Laboratory Animal Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. The animals were 8-9 weeks old and with an average weight of 25 kg. 15 mini-pigs were randomly divided into three groups, the sham operation group, the decompression group and the ISDF fixed decompression group, 5 animals per group. The sham operation group was treated with simple incision and exposed lamina suture. The decompression group received unilateral decompression and the ISDF fixed decompression group experienced unilateral hemilaminectomy decompression and ISDF fixation. The graft-bed site was filled with purified bone graft material without any autograft bone. After 6 months feeding, all experimental animals were sacrificed and the corresponding lumbar vertebrae was obtained. The samples were fixed on the spinal test system and the range of motion of flexion-extension, lateral bending and rotation were tested through a multiaxial robotic system. The ISDF device samples were embedded for hard tissue sections and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue to assess new bone formation. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), and independent samples t-test were used for comparisons between groups. Results:In comparison to the sham operation group, the decompression group exhibited a statistically significant increase in intervertebral mobility, with an average of 61.6% in anterior flexion, 44.7% in posterior extension, 65.0% in left lateral flexion, 49.6% in right lateral flexion, 83.8% in left rotation, and 64.2% in right rotation ( P<0.05). In comparison to the decompression group, the ISDF fixed decompression group exhibited a statistically significant decrease in intervertebral mobility, with an average of 40.0% in anterior flexion, 21.3% in posterior extension, 31.7% in left lateral flexion, 22.3% in right lateral flexion, 28.7% in left rotation, and 35.3% in right rotation ( P<0.05). Well-defined bone tissue can be observed in the histological images of ISDF fixed decompression group samples after 6 months. In the histological part, toluidine blue staining showed extensive new bone formation. The hyperchromatic osteoblasts cells and density bone tissue can be observed in hematoxylin-eosin staining slides. Conclusions:The implantation of ISDF provide the necessary stabilization for promoting fusion. The osteogenesis that occurs within graft-bed site of the ISDF device offers the possibility of interspinous fusion.

Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of the artesunate(ART)on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The cell lines MHCC-97H and HCC-LM3 were used to be detected.MTT and clone formation were used to determine the cell proliferation;Wound healing was used to detect the cell migration;Transwell was used to test the cell invasion.Flow-cy-tometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cy-cle.RNA-seq and qRT-PCR was used to detect the genes expression.Results The proliferation,migra-tion and invasion of treated cells were obviously inhibi-ted(P＜0.01).Moreover,the apoptosis rate in-creased significantly,so did the proportion of G2/M cells.Transcriptomic analysis identified GADD45A as a potential target of ART through RNA-sequencing da-ta,and suggested that ART might induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest through regulating the expression of GADD45A.In addition,the results of mechanism studies and signaling analysis suggested that GADD45A had interaction with its upstream gene NACC1(nucle-us accumbens associated 1).Moreover,after ART treatment,the expressions of GADD45A and NACC1 were changed significantly.Conclusion ART may be a potential drug to resist HCC by affecting the expres-sion of GADD45A and its upstream gene NACC1,which provides a new drug,a new direction and a new method for the clinical treatment of HCC.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of posterior femoral composite tissue flap pedicled with inferior gluteal artery for repair of huge sacrococcygeal pressure injuries.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with huge sacrococcygeal pressure injuries admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,with a mean wounds area of(205.3±15.3)cm2,and the depth of the wounds all reached the sacrococcygeal bone surface with partial sacrococcygeal necrosis.The inferior gluteal artery and its perforating branch were investigated with ultrasonic Doppler flow detector before operation,the posterior femoral composite tissue flap pedicled with inferior gluteal artery was designed according to the wound surface,and then the chronic sacrococcygeal wound was repaired.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,wound healing,postoperative skin flap survival and occurrence of complications were recorded.The skin flap color,temperature and two-point discernability were monitored to evaluate skin flap sensory sensitivity.The visual analog scale(VAS)was used to evaluate the satisfaction of appearance.Results The operation time of patients was(2.8±0.1)hours and the intraoperative blood loss was(235.4±10.2)mL.The posterior femoral composite tissue flap pedicled with inferior gluteal artery of all the 11 patients survived.The distal part of the flap was necrotic in 1 case,which healed well after local debridement and suturing by amplification;other wounds healed well in the first stage without complications such as infection,fat liquefaction or hematoma.The skin flap has good color,soft texture,and good elasticity,with good healing in the donor area.There were significant differences in the skin flap temperature,two-point discernability and VAS score of appearance satisfaction between 12 months after operation and other time points(P＜0.05).Conclusion The posterior femoral composite tissue flap pedicled with inferior gluteal artery has a constant blood supply,without damage to the main blood vessels.It can be transposed at anterograde or retrograde direction,with simple operation and less damage,which can reconstruct flap sense,and has significant clinical efficacy in repairing huge sacrococcygeal pressure injuries.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of empowerment between self-perceived burden and medication adherence in kidney transplant recipients, so as to provide reference for improving medication adherence in kidney transplant recipients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From August to December 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 240 kidney transplant recipients who were followed up at the Kidney Transplantation Center of Shanghai General Hospital as the research subject. A survey was conducted on subjects using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Client Empowerment Scale (CES), and Basel Assessment of Adherence with Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS) to analyze the correlation between patient self-perceived burden, empowerment, and medication compliance, as well as the mediating effect of empowerment between the two.Results:A total of 240 questionnaires were distributed, and 226 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 94.2% (226/240). Among 226 kidney transplant recipients, the total scores of SPBS, CES, and BAASIS were (27.34±8.03), (159.86±13.45), and (5.05±1.75), respectively. The SPBS score of the recipient was negatively correlated with the CES score ( r=-0.366, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the BAASIS score ( r=0.448, P<0.05). The CES score was negatively correlated with the BAASIS score ( r=-0.456, P<0.05). The above differences were statistically significant. Empowerment partially mediated the association between self-perceived burden and medication adherence in kidney transplant recipients, with a mediating effect ratio of 38.7%. Conclusions:Renal transplant recipients have poor medication adherence, and empowerment is a mediating variable between self-perceived burden and medication adherence. Medical and nursing staff should attach importance to and enhance the empowerment of kidney transplant recipients, in order to alleviate the negative impact of self-perceived burden, increase medication compliance of recipients, and improve their health outcomes.
