OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of goserelin combined with estradiol valerate in the treatment of endometriosis （EMs） in patients of childbearing age after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS The clinical data of 144 patients with EMs of childbearing age who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively， and those patients were divided into control group （70 cases） and combination group （74 cases） based on different postoperative medication regimens. Control group was given Acetate goserelin sustained-release implant on the 1st to 5th day of their first menstrual cycle after laparoscopic surgery， while combination group was additionally given Estradiol valerate tablets on the basis of control group. The short-term and long-term efficacy of 2 groups were observed； preoperative and postoperative pain scores， ovarian reserve function， and the incidence of adverse reactions were all recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in short-term total effective rate， 1-year postoperative recurrence rate and the incidence of decreased libido， vaginal dryness， gastrointestinal reactions， rash， or arrhythmia between two groups （P＞0.05）. The natural pregnancy rate of combination group was significantly higher than control group at 1 year after surgery， while the incidence E-mail：wanghuiling0518@126.com of early miscarriage， hot flashes and sweating， emotional fluctuations， insomnia and fatigue， joint muscle pain， dizziness and headache were significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）. However， at 6 months after surgery， pain scores and the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone， follicle stimulating hormone， luteinizing hormone， estradiol of both groups were significantly lower than before surgery in the same group， while the number of antral follicle count was significantly higher than before surgery in the same group； the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone， luteinizing hormone， estradiol， and the number of antral follicles in the combination group were significantly higher than control group， while pain score and follicle stimulating hormone level were significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The combination of goserelin and estradiol valerate after laparoscopic surgery has a significant therapeutic effect and good safety in the treatment of EMs of childbearing age.

Objective: To elucidate the differences in manual acupuncture effectiveness at sensitized points by investigating the mechanisms of local skin action at different sensitization points in rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: Forty Sprague–Dawley rats were equally divided into control, model (1 mg of monoiodoacetate into the right knee joint cavity), sham operation, manual acupuncture at right Tianjing acupoint (MAR-SJ 10), and left SJ 10 groups. Safranine-O and fast green staining were used to assess the modeling. The morphological and functional changes in mast cells (MCs) were assessed during acupoint sensitization using toluidine blue and immunofluorescence staining. The levels of serotonin, histamine, substance P (SP), and tryptase at skin acupoints and serum levels of IL-β, IL-6, and TNF-α were detected using ELISA. Results: After 14 days of treatment, the number of MCs and their degranulation rates were statistically higher in the model group than in the control group (both P < .001). After applying acupuncture, the levels of 5-HT, HA, and SP at skin acupoints were lower than those in the model group (all P < .05), and tryptase level was higher (both P < .05). Tryptase level was higher on the skin at the MAL-SJ 10 acupoint than that on the MAR-SJ 10 acupoint (P = .004). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the MAR-SJ 10 and MAL-SJ 10 groups were lower (all P < .05). Conclusion Acupuncture at KOA-sensitized acupoints mitigates joint injury in KOA rats and may bidirectionally regulate local MCs of these acupoints. This finding not only enhances the reference value of sensitizing points in clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also contributes to the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying acupuncture intervention at sensitizing points.

BACKGROUND:Our previous studies found that adding barium sulfate could improve the mechanical and radiopaque properties of calcium phosphate cement.However,with the degradation of calcium phosphate,the remaining radiopaque agent is difficult to degrade,and the space-occupying and osteoclast effects at the implantation site affect the bone repair process.Therefore,it is necessary to develop a new biodegradable radiopaque material. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the radiopaque ability of bioactive degradable material strontium polyphosphate(SrPP)and its impact on the physicochemical properties and osteogenic effect of calcium phosphate cement. METHODS:(1)Calcium phosphate cement(CPC),starch modified calcium phosphate cement(CPS)and starch modified calcium phosphate cement(20%SrPP-CPN)containing SrPP(20%mass fraction of bone cement powder)were prepared respectively,and the physicochemical properties of the three groups of bone cements were characterized.(2)The three groups of bone cement extracts were co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,respectively,to detect cell proliferation,energy metabolism,and osteogenic differentiation.(3)Bone defects with a diameter of 5 mm were made on each side of the top of the skull of 24 SD rats,and they were randomly divided into control group(without any intervention),CPC group,CPS group,and 20%SrPP-CPN group for intervention,with 6 rats in each group.Relevant tests were performed after 4 and 12 weeks of intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the other two groups of bone cement,20%SrPP-CPN had enhanced radiopaque ability,increased compressive strength and degradation rate,and prolonged curing time,and 20%SrPP-CPN could release Sr2+ stably during degradation.(2)CCK-8 assay showed that 20%SrPP-CPN did not affect the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Cell starvation test(serum-free culture)showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.Compared with the other two groups of bone cements,20%SrPP-CPN increased adenosine triphosphate concentration in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining showed that 20%SrPP-CPN could promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other two groups of bone cement.(3)In the rat skull defect experiment,Micro-CT scanning and histological observation(hematoxylin-eosin and Masson stainings)showed that bone cement in 20%SrPP-CPN group was significantly degraded compared with that in CPC and CPS groups,and a large number of new bone tissues were dispersed in degraded bone cement.Immunohistochemical staining showed that Runx2 protein expression was increased in 20%SrPP-CPN group compared with CPC group and CPS group(P＜0.01).(4)These results show that 20%SrPP-CPN has good radiopaque ability and osteogenic properties.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of urinary tract pathogens in patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection and their sensitivity to nenoxacin and levofloxacin.Methods:This prospective, multicenter clinical trial included patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection who were admitted to urological clinics at 9 clinical research centers from November 2021 to August 2022.Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18-70 years with community-acquired acute uncomplicated cystitis(AUC), recurrent acute episodes of urinary tract infection(rUTI), and non-febrile complicated urinary tract infection(cUTI) with signs of urinary tract irritation and abnormal elevation of routine white blood cells in urine. Exclusion criteria: ①Patients who received effective antimicrobial therapy within 72 h before enrollment and lasted for more than 24 h. ②Fever (>37.3℃) or symptoms of upper urinary tract infection such as low back pain, tapping pain in the kidney area, etc. ③Indwelling urinary catheter. At the first visit, clean midstream urine samples were taken for bacterial culture, and the distribution characteristics of urinary pathogens of different types of urinary tract infections were analyzed. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) were measured for Gram-negative bacteria. The susceptibility of nenoxacin and levofloxacin to urinary tract pathogens was determined by disk diffusion method. Drug resistance rate, sensitivity rate were analyzed between different disease groups.Results:There were 404 enrolled patients from 9 hospitals, including 364 (90.1%) females and 40 (9.9%) males. A total of 177 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, among which the highest proportion of Escherichia coli was 66.1% (117/177).Klebsiella pneumoniae was followed by 6.8% (12/177) and Streptococcus agalactis 5.1% (9/177). The bacterial spectrum distribution of AUC and rUTI were similar, and the proportions of Escherichia coli were 70.6% (85/119) and 65.9% (29/44), respectively. However, the proportions of Escherichia coli isolated from cUTI patients were only 28.6% (4/14) and Enterococcus faecalis 7.1%(1/14). The overall detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was 30.9%(43/139). The sensitivity rate of nenoxacin was 74.6%(91/122), and the resistance rate was 25.4%(31/122). The overall sensitivity rate of levofloxacin was 44.9%(70/156) and the resistance rate was 36.5%(57/156). The rate of resistance of urinary tract pathogens to levofloxacin was 48.2% (27/56) in patients with previous urinary tract infection history, and 30.0% (30/100) in patients with no previous urinary tract infection history, the difference was statistically significant( P=0.023).The sensitivity rate of Gram-negative bacteria to nenofloxacin was 70.7% (65/92) and that to levofloxacin was 50.0% (46/92, P<0.001). The sensitivity of Gram-positive bacteria to nenofloxacin was 80.0% (16/20), and that to levofloxacin was 70.0% (14/20, P=0.009). Conclusions:The bacterial profile of out-patient community acquired urinary tract infection varies greatly according to different diseases. The proportion of Escherichia coli in AUC and rUTI patients is higher than that in cUTI. The detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was lower than the domestic average.Patients with a history of urinary tract infection had a high risk of treatment failure with levofloxacin. The sensitivity of common urinary tract pathogens to nenofloxacin was higher than levofloxacin.

Objective To evaluate the benefits of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring(SCGM)in blood glucose control of ICU patients,in order to open up the new ideas for blood glucose management in ICU patients.Methods The databases of PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of Science,Wanfang,VIP,CNKI and China biomedical literature service system(SinoMed)were retrieved for the relevant randomized controlled trials(RCT)on SCGM in ICU patients from the establishment of the database to April 2024.The two researchers independently screened the literatures,extracted the data,and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies by using Cochrane risk assessment tools.The Review manager5.4 was used for conducting the meta-analysis and the Stata16.0 was used for conducting the publication bias and sensitivity analysis.Re-sults Eighteen literatures were included,of which the quality evaluation of 17 literatures were the medium and included in the final study,1 literature was evaluated as low quality and was excluded from the analysis.A total of 1 799 research subjects,including the patients admitted to ICU after tumor and cardiac surgery,sepsis,oral space infection,acute pancreatitis,craniocerebral injury,etc,among them the diabetic patients accounted for 8.5％.The test group(SCGM)and control group(capillary glucose measurement by bedside glucometer or arterial glucose measurement by blood gas analyzer)showed a statistically significant in the incidence of hy-poglycemia(RR=0.35,95％CI:0.25-0.47,P＜0.001),mean blood glucose(SMD=-0.13,95％CI:-0.25 to-0.00,P=0.040),and the time proportion of glucose in the target range(SMD=0.29,95％CI:0.10-0.49,P=0.003);the insulin dosage subgroup analysis results showed that the insulin dosage between the two groups in the intensive insulin treatment group had no statistically significant difference(SMD=-0.44,95％CI:-1.05 to 0.17,P=0.160),but the insulin dosage between the two groups in the non-inten-sive insulin treatment group had statistically significant difference(SMD=-2.01,95％CI:-2.29 to-1.72,P＜0.001).Conclusion Compared with capillary glucose measurements by the bedside glucose me-ters or arterial glucose measurements by blood gas analyzers,using SCGM in ICU patients could reduce the in-cidence rate of hypoglycemia,insulin dosage and mean blood glucose,and improve the time proportion of glu-cose in the target range.

OBJECTIVE To enrich the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction from Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium using D101 macro-porous resin,and further to analyse the chemical constituents using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry(HPLC-Q-TOF-MS).METHODS Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract was adsorbed on D101 macro-porous resin and then eluted with different concentrations of ethanol to enrich the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction;the content of the major flavonoid components was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC);and the components were further an-alysed by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS.RESULTS The established HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of seven flavonoids in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract was accurate and reliable.The contents of compounds such as nobiletin and tangeritin were signifi-cantly increased in the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction.Using high resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS),70 and 60 compounds were identified from the Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract and the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction,respectively,with 53 polyme-thoxyflavonoids being detected in these two extracts.CONCLUSION The results of this study provide an experimental basis for fur-ther identification of the pharmacological substance basis of the polymethoxyflavonoids in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and the estab-lishment of quality control methods.

  Objective  To evaluate the severity and features of pelvic coronal plane tilt in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who had lumbar curvature during the gait cycle.  Methods  AIS patients with lumbar curvature and patients with microcurvature (Cobb Angle less than 10 degrees) treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2020 to February 2023 were retrospectively included. According to PUMC conservative classification system and Spinal Full-length Standing X-ray, AIS patients with lumbar curvature were enrolled. The bilateral iliac crest was used as the bony marker of the pelvic coronal surface, and the bilateral iliac crest height and its changes were measured during the standing position and walking cycle, so as to evaluate the degree of pelvic coronal tilt in AIS patients with lumbar curvature.  Results  A total of 209 AIS patients with lumbar curvature and 36 patients with microcurvature who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. The proportion of AIS patients with lumbar curvature who had a "congruent" relationship between the higher iliac crest and the convex side of the spine in standing position (iliac crest lower on the convex side than on the concave side) was significantly higher in AIS patients with lumbar curvature than patients with microcurvature(58.9% vs. 30.6%, P=0.002). AIS patients with lumbar curvature had statistically different bilateral iliac crest height change values throughout the gait cycle (including minimum, maximum, swing phase minimum, and swing phase maximum) (all P < 0.001), and the iliac crest height change values on the convex side were significantly higher than those on the concave side (all P < 0.05), whereas the patients with microcurvature did not have any statistically significant bilateral iliac crest height change values throughout the gait cycle (all P > 0.05).  Conclusion  The height of the iliac crest on the convex side of the lumbar spine is lower than that on the concave side in the standing position of AIS patients with lumbar curvature, and the value of the change of the iliac crest on the convex side of the pelvis is greater than that on the concave side in walking to maintain the balance of the body, which may provide a new direction for the intervention in the clinical rehabilitation treatment of AIS patients with lumbar curvature.

Objective:To explore the correlation between clinical phenotypes and genotypes among 46 children with SCN1A-related developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Methods:Clinical data of 46 children with DEE and SCN1A variants identified at the Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center between January 2018 and June 2022 were collected. The children were grouped based on their age of onset, clinical manifestations, neurodevelopmental status, and results of genetic testing. The correlation between SCN1A genotypes and clinical phenotypes was analyzed. Results:Among the 46 patients, 2 children (4.35%) had developed the symptoms before 3 months of age, 42 (91.30%) were between 3 to 9 months, and 2 cases (4.35%) were after 10 months. Two cases (4.35%) presented with epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS), while 44 (95.7%) had presented with Dravet syndrome (DS), including 28 cases (63.6%) with focal onset (DS-F), 13 cases (29.5%) with myoclonic type (DS-M), 1 case (2.27%) with generalized type (DS-G), and 2 cases (4.55%) with status epilepticus type (DS-SE). Both of the two EIMFS children had severe developmental delay, and among the DS patients, 7 cases had normal development, while the remaining had developmental delay. A total of 44 variants were identified through genetic sequencing, which included 16 missense variants and 28 truncating variants. All EIMFS children had carried the c. 677C>T (p.Thr226Met) missense variant. In the DS group, there was a significant difference in the age of onset between the missense variants group and the truncating variants group ( P < 0.05). Missense variants were more common in D1 (7/15, 46.7%) and pore regions (8/15, 53.3%), while truncating variants were more common in D1 (12/28, 42.9%). Children with variants outside the pore region were more likely to develop myoclonic seizures. Conclusion:The clinical phenotypes of DEE are diverse. There is a difference in the age of onset between individuals with truncating and missense variants in the SCN1A gene. Missense variants outside the pore region are associated with a higher incidence of myoclonic seizures.

Objective To investigate the effect of the limiting value of subfield number on the dosime-try of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan for left-breast radical mastectomy in order to seek the optimal limiting value of subfield number.Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with left-breast radical mastectomy in this hospital from March 1,2022 to March 31,2023 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients used the Oncentra 4.3 planning system to design 5 kinds of IMRT plans,and the limiting values of subfield number were 15,25,35,45 and 55 respectively (all IMRT plans were named according to the subfield number limiting value,the other optimization parameters and objective function were the same),planning target vol-ume (PTV) dosimetric parameters,organ at risk (OAR) receiving dosage and monitor units were statistically analyzed and compared.Results The PTV D2％ (F=104.439,P<0.05),D98％ (F=20.748,P<0.05),Dmean (F=89.578,P<0.05),homogeneity index (HI,F=101.794,P<0.05) and conformity index (CI,F=26.453,P<0.05) among different subfields number limiting values of IMRT had statistical differences,the left side humeral head V50 (F=76.991,P<0.05) had significant difference and the other OAR had no signifi-cant difference (P>0.05).The PTV D2％,D98％,Dmean,CI and HI values of plan35 were significantly superior to those of plan15 and plan25,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with plan35,there were no statistically significant difference in PTV D98％ and CI of plan45 and plan55 (P>0.05),while the PTV D2％,Dmean and HI were lower,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The V50 of left humeral head in plan15 and plan25 were too high to meet the clinical request.The plan35,plan45 and plan55 could protect the OAR well,moreover there were no significant difference in the receiving dosage of the OAR (P>0.05).The monitor units of plan35 was lower than that of plan45 and plan55,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion When the limiting value of subfield number is 35,the dose distribution of PTV and OAR receiving dosage meet the clinical dosimetric requirements,meanwhile the monitor units is lower,which can be used as a reference value for the IMPT plan design for left-breast cancer radical mastecto-my.
