ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of action of Lifei Xiaoji Pill (理肺消积丸, LXP) in the treatment of non small cell lung cancer based on the Warburg effect and the USP47/BACH1 pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups, model group, LXP group, inhibitor group, LXP + inhibitor group, and cisplatin group, with 10 mice in each group. A lung cancer mouse model was established by subcutaneously injecting Lewis cells. On the next day, the model group mice were given 0.2 ml of saline by gavage daily, the LXP group given 240 mg/(kg·d) of LXP solution once a day by gavage, the inhibitor group intraperitoneally injected with P22077 at a dose of 10 mg/(kg·d) every day, the LXP + inhibitor group given both LXP by gavage and P22077 by intraperitoneal injection once a day, and the cisplatin group received 0.5 mg/(kg·d) cisplatin intraperitoneally every other day. All treatments lasted for 14 days. On the day after the last dose, tumor weight and volume were measured, tumor histopathology was examined by HE staining, apoptosis in tumor tissues was detected by TUNEL staining, and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry. Warburg effect indicators, including glucose concentration, lactate content, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in tumor tissues, were measured. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of USP47, BACH1, hexokinase 2 (HK2), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). ResultsCompared with the model group, all drug intervention groups showed reduced tumor weight and volume, improved tumor pathology, decreased PCNA positive rate, increased apoptosis rate, and reduced expression levels of USP47, BACH1, and HK2 proteins and mRNA (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Except for lactate content in the cisplatin group, the glucose concentration in tumor tissues of other drug intervention groups increased, while lactate content and ATP production decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the LXP group, the LXP + inhibitor group showed more significant improvements in these indicators (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the cisplatin group, the LXP + inhibitor group had lower mRNA expression of HK2 and GAPDH, and lower protein levels of USP47 and HK2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the inhibitor group, the cisplatin group had higher HK2 protein levels, while the LXP + inhibitor group showed lower mRNA expression of BACH1, HK2, and GAPDH (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionLXP significantly inhibits tumor growth in lung cancer mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to inhibiting the Warburg effect via the USP47/BACH1 pathway.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To analyze the etiological composition and clinical characteristics of infant hypertension,and provide reference for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods:This is a retrospective case-control study.Retrospective investigation and analysis were conducted on the clinical data of infants discharged from Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University with a diagnosis of "hypertension" from June 1,2016 to September 30,2021,including clinical manifestations,auxiliary examinations,treatment plans,and prognosis.Results:A total of 74 eligible children were collected,including 42 male infants(56.8%)and 32 female infants(43.2%).A total of 67 cases(90.5%)had clear secondary factors,including 35 cases of kidney disease(47.3%),12 cases of connective tissue disease(16.2%),and 9 cases of hematological tumor disease(12.2%).At the beginning of the disease,cardiac ultrasound showed that 54 cases(73.0%)had ventricular wall thickening,including mild thickening in 31 cases(57.4%),moderate thickening in 11 cases(20.3%),and severe thickening in 12 cases(22.2%).After grouping by etiology,the incidence of proteinuria and severe hypertension in the renal hypertension group,as well as those receiving multiple antihypertensive drugs,was significantly higher than that in the non-renal hypertension group( χ 2=28.493, P<0.001; χ 2=17.283, P<0.001; χ 2=17.358, P<0.001);Renal disease was risk factor for severe hypertension in infants according to univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis respectively( OR=11.176,95% CI:2.882~43.339, P<0.001; OR=11.669,95% CI:2.921~46.624, P<0.001).Thirty-one children had follow-up records for 6 months or more,and 13(41.9%)still required antihypertensive treatment,of whom 26(83.9%)were no longer recorded as having elevated blood pressure. Conclusion:Infant hypertension is mainly secondary,with a high proportion of renal factors and predisposition to severe hypertension,which requires multiple antihypertensive drugs for control.Active antihypertensive treatment and removal of secondary factors during the acute phase are helpful for controlling hypertension in infants,but further research is needed on treatment options and long-term prognosis.

Objective·To explore the predictive value of diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters such as 20-minute residual rate(R20)for pyeloplasty in children with congenital unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO).Methods·The clinical data and diuretic renal scintigraphy results of 110 children with congenital unilateral UPJO who were first treated at the Department of Nuclear Medicine,Xinhua Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging results and the progress of hydronephrosis were followed up after the first diuretic renal scintigraphy.According to the outcome event of pyeloplasty due to the progression of hydronephrosis,the children were divided into operation group and non-operation group.Age,gender,side of hydronephrosis,and baseline diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters including blood perfusion rate(BPR),differential renal function(DRF),time to peak(Tmax),time to half(T1/2)and R20 were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of various parameters on the progression of hydronephrosis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of diuretic renal scintigraphy parameters for surgical intervention.Wilcoxon test was used to compare the examination parameters of two diuretic renal dynamic imaging.Results·During the follow-up,60 children underwent pyeloplasty after progression,and the other 50 children did not progress.The differences in DRF,Tmax,T1/2 and R20 between the two groups of children at baseline were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that only R20 was an independent predictor of pyeloplasty(OR=4.730,95%CI 1.009-1.178,P=0.030).R20 predicted pyeloplasty with a sensitivity of 88.3%,specificity of 56%,the area under the ROC curve of 0.758(95%CI 0.667-0.850,P=0.000),and the cut-off value of 90.08%.During the follow-up,38 children underwent the second diuretic renal scintigraphy,and the DRF was lower than before.The difference between the two DRFs was statistically significant(Z=-2.589,P=0.010),especially in children with R20≥90.08%(Z=-2.166,P=0.030).R20 in the non-operation group decreased significantly compared with the baseline(Z=-2.062,P=0.039).However,R20 in the operation group was higher than baseline,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion·R20 plays an important role in the prediction of pyeloplasty in children with congenital unilateral UPJO.For children with R20≥90.08%,pyeloplasty should be performed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration of renal function.
