Objective:To analyze the imaging characteristics of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma using multislice spiral CT and evaluate its diagnostic value.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 60 patients with ovarian space-occupying lesions who were admitted to Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital from March 2022 to March 2024 and diagnosed through postoperative pathology. All patients underwent multislice spiral CT examinations, and the results of the pathological examinations were used as the gold standard to analyze the diagnostic results and efficacy of multislice spiral CT examinations for mucinous cystadenoma.Results:In the clinical data of 60 patients with ovarian space-occupying lesions, pathological examination results revealed that 40 patients were diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma, while 20 were diagnosed with borderline mucinous cystadenoma, resulting in a detection rate of 100.00%. The multislice spiral CT examinations identified 38 cases of mucinous cystadenoma and 18 cases of borderline mucinous cystadenoma, leading to a total of 56 cases detected and a detection rate of 93.33%. The Kappa value of 0.868 indicates strong consistency with the pathological examination. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the multislice spiral CT examinations were found to be 95.00%, 90.00%, 93.33%, 95.00%, and 90.00%, respectively. These results demonstrate high agreement with the pathological findings and indicate significant diagnostic efficacy ( χ2 = 0.51, 0.53, 2.33, 0.51, 0.53, all P > 0.05). Conclusions:The accuracy of multislice spiral CT in diagnosing ovarian mucinous cystadenoma is high, making it a valuable method for clinicians to enhance the diagnosis rate of patients and improve their prognosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the adverse reactions associated with the clinical use of Banxia （Rhizoma Pinelliae）- Wutou （Aconitum） in the same formula， with the aim of providing a reference for the safety of their clinical application. MethodsLiterature on the clinical application of antagonistic herbs "Banxia-Wutou" used in the same formula， published from January 1st， 2014， to June 30th， 2023， was retrieved from databases including CNKI， VIP， Wanfang， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， and Embase. A database was established， and information related to adverse reactions was extracted， including descriptions， classifications， specific manifestations， management and outcomes， patients' primary diseases （western medicine diseases and traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses and syndromes）， and medication information （dosage， ratio， administration routes， and dosage forms）. ResultsA total of 79 researches simultaneously used antagonistic herbs Banxia-Wutou in the same formula and reported associated advers reactions. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most common， with 8 studies reporting management of adverse reactions and 3 studies reporting improvement with no intervention. Among the 11 researches， the adverse reaction relieved to extant， while other 69 researches didn't report the managment of adverse reaction and its prognosis. For the primary disease in western medicine system， chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） were most common， while gastric pain was the most common symptom in traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and kidney deficiency and spleen stomach cold deficiency being the most frequent syndromes. The most common Banxia dosage was 10 g， while for the Wutou， Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata） was predominant with the highest dose at 15 g. The most frequent herbal combination was Banxia-fuzi， with a 1∶1 ratio. The main administration route was oral， and the primary dosage form was decoction. ConclusionGastrointestinal adverse reactions are the most common in the clinical use of Banxia-Wutou antagonistic herb combinations. Research on the safety of "Banxia-Wutou" combinations should focus on respiratory system diseases and spleen-stomach related conditions.

Based on a letrozole-induced rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), serum metabolomics was employed to characterize metabolic abnormalities, identify potential biomarkers, and investigate their roles in the pathogenesis and progression of PCOS. Metabolomic analyses revealed significantly decreased levels of cholesterol, pregnenolone, leucine, and citrate in the serum of model rats, accompanied by elevated levels of androsterone glucuronide (ADTG) and linoleic acid, indicating dysregulation of key pathways including steroid biosynthesis, branched-chain amino acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and lipid metabolism. To elucidate the tissue origins and molecular mechanisms underlying these metabolic alterations, ovarian proteomics and qRT-PCR analyses were further integrated. The results confirmed the upregulation of key enzymes involved in the related metabolic pathways, such as 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD11B1), branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT2), fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2), and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH). These findings suggest that both “cholesterol precursor depletion-androgen accumulation” and “energy/lipid metabolic reprogramming” constitute core features of metabolic disturbances in PCOS. Through multi-omic cross-validation, six serum metabolites with high stability and clinical translational potential were identified as promising combinational biomarkers for the auxiliary diagnosis of PCOS. This study employed a metabolomics-guided strategy, supported by proteomic and transcriptomic validation, which has not only deepened our understanding of PCOS metabolic mechanisms but also provided us with a theoretical foundation for its auxiliary diagnosis.

Acute urinary retention(AUR)occurs frequently among astronauts on orbit.The current treatment is complex and easy to damage the urethra,which seriously affects the life and work of astronauts.In contrast,acupuncture,a traditional Chinese remedy,has shown promising results in managing urinary retention.However,the specific acupoints that could potentially prevent AUR remain uncertain due to the unique physiological conditions experienced by individuals in space compared to those on Earth.To address this gap,our research delved into the mechanisms of AUR and acupuncture within both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical practices.We conducted a thorough literature review from Pubmed,Web of Science,CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database and Chinese Medical Code database.A hierarchical evidence-scoring approach was utilized to analyze the included literatures,thus devised acupuncture protocols for the treatment of AUR.The outcomes of our study aim to establish a foundation for the application of acupuncture in managing AUR.

BACKGROUND:Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a progressive disease leading to dysfunction in the middle-aged and elderly,and early diagnosis is difficult.In recent years,some clinical scholars have found that dynamic magnetic resonance imaging technology can detect spinal cord compression in a dynamic position earlier,but its specific biomechanical mechanism needs to be clarified. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biomechanical compression characteristics of early cervical spondylotic myelopathy in hyperextension and flexion position,and to verify the effectiveness of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of early cervical spondylotic myelopathy. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was made on the patients who underwent cervical dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in the Department of Orthopedics of First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from January to June 2022.16 subjects were selected and divided into two groups.The pathological group included 8 patients with early cervical spondylotic myelopathy with hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum as the main sign,with 5 male patients and 3 female patients.The normal group included 8 normal degenerative people,with 4 male patients and 4 female patients.All patients were photographed with cervical CT plain scan,magnetic resonance imaging plain scan,and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging plain scan.This study was divided into the following three parts:(1)collect the dynamic magnetic resonance imaging image DCOM data of two groups of subjects,and collect the cervical vertebra CT and neutral magnetic resonance imaging image DCOM data to understand the bone and soft tissue of the two groups of subjects in the neutral position.(2)Based on the DCOM data of magnetic resonance imaging and CT plain scan,the three-dimensional finite element models of lower cervical vertebra(C3-7)of normal degenerative population and early cervical spondylotic myelopathy patients were established by reverse engineering software.The equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain of the spinal cord and posterior dura were analyzed,and the distribution of stress and strain was observed.(3)After obtaining the stress and strain data,the data between groups were compared to analyze the mechanical characteristics of spinal cord compression caused by early cervical spondylotic myelopathy in a dynamic position and to verify the effectiveness of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of early cervical spondylotic myelopathy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)When simulating the posterior extension,flexion and neutral position of the lower cervical vertebrae(C3-7)in the two groups,the values of stress and strain in the posterior part of the spinal cord were in the following order:extension>flexion>neutral(P<0.05).The strain values from large to small were as follows:extension>flexion>neutral(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the normal degenerative population model,the equivalent stress and strain of the spinal cord in the pathological group were higher than those in the normal group under two degrees of freedom of flexion and extension(P<0.05).The distribution area of stress and strain in the posterior part of the spinal cord was irregular.(3)In the neutral position,there was no significant difference in the strain value of the spinal cord between the two groups(P>0.05),and the strain distribution was uniform and regular.(4)It is indicated that in the cervical extension position,the dural sac and the posterior part of the spinal cord were compressed and deformed in the early cervical spondylotic myelopathy patients with the hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum as the main sign,and the degree of compression deformation of the spinal cord was significantly higher than that in the anterior flexion position and neutral position.In the neutral position,there were no obvious signs of spinal cord deformation in patients with early cervical spondylotic myelopathy.This study verified the role of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of early cervical spondylotic myelopathy from the point of view of biomechanics.
