BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription has a long history in the treatment of primary osteoporosis,and the curative effect is definite,but the medication rule and mechanism are not clear. OBJECTIVE:Using the methodology of data mining and network pharmacology,to explore and verify the law of drug use and molecular mechanism of modern traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of primary osteoporosis. METHODS:The relevant documents included in CNKI,WanFang,VIP and PubMed were used as data sources,and the relevant data were statistically counted and extracted by Microsoft EXCEL2019,IBMSPSS25.0 and other software.The high-frequency drugs obtained from the data statistics were analyzed by association rules analysis and cluster analysis,and the core drug combination of traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription in the treatment of primary osteoporosis was obtained by combining the two results.The therapeutic mechanism of this combination was explained by network pharmacology and verified by molecular docking. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finally,151 articles were included and 207 prescriptions were selected,involving 285 flavors of Chinese herbs.(1)Ten groups of important drug combinations were obtained through the above two analyses,among which the core drug combination with the highest confidence and improvement was"Drynaria-Eucommia-Angelica."The key components of the combination in the treatment of primary osteoporosis were quercetin,kaempferol,naringenin and so on.The core targets were SRC proto-oncogene,phosphoinositide-3-Kinase regulatory subunit 1 and RELA proto-oncogene.The main pathways were cancer signaling pathway,JAK-STAT signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,and NF-κB signaling pathway.(2)The key active components were docked with the core targets,and the two showed a good combination.To conclude,Chinese herbal compound therapy in the treatment of primary osteoporosis can use a variety of active components to exert its efficacy through multiple signal pathways and acting on multiple targets,which can provide a theoretical basis for the research and development of new drugs for the follow-up treatment of primary osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE To extract the-SH active fractions(SHF)from Bubali Cornu(water buffalo horn)and evaluate its an-tipyretic activity.METHODS SHF was extracted from Bubali Cornu by SDS-DTT,and the content of native thiols(-SH)was deter-mined by Ellman reagent method.SHF was identified based on nano LC-MS/MS technology.Evaluation of antipyretic activity of SHF was based on LPS-induced fever rat model.The levels of PGE2,IL-1β,and TNF-α in plasma as well as the levels of cAMP,PGE2,and TNF-α in the hypothalamus were measured by ELISA kits.An untargeted metabolomics approach was used to further investigate the intervention of SHF on plasma metabolites in febrile rats.RESULTS SDS-DTT could effectively extract SHF from Bubali Cornu,in which the main components were type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ keratins and keratin-associated proteins,which were rich in Cys,and the ratio of-SH to protein in SHF was increased about 20 times more than that of traditional decoction.SHF could significantly decrease(P＜0.01)the body temperature which lasted for 4.5 hours.SHF could also significantly decrease the levels of PGE2,IL-1β,TNF-α and cAMP in plasma and hypothalamic.A total of 137 potentially differential metabolites were identified from plasma samples of the control and model groups,of which 31 metabolites could be dialed back after SHF administration,including lysophosphatidic acid,phosphatidyli-nositol,phosphatidic acid,triglycerides,phosphatidylcholine and so on,which were mainly involved in the glycerophospholipid meta-bolic pathway.CONCLUSION SHF has precise antipyretic effect,and the dosage of 1/10 of the aqueous extract can show its com-parable antipyretic effect,which provides the direction and basis for the basic research on the antipyretic efficacy of Bubali Cornu.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of monopolar electric scissors and harmonic scalpel in Da Vinci robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy.Methods:A total of 31 patients undergoing Da Vinci robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2020 to December 2023 were included. There were 9 males and 22 females, aged (54.4±15.7) years. Thirty-one patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy by monopolar electric scissors were included in the monopolar electric scissors group ( n=12), with a multi-joint flexible rotating mechanical arm to complete the dissection and separation and the other were inducled in harmonic scalpel group ( n=19). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, spleen preservation, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and total hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups. Results:Postoperative pathology confirmed that among the 31 patients, there were 6 cases (19.4%) serous cystadenomas, 5 cases (16.1%) mucinous cystadenomas, 3 cases (9.7%) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, 6 cases (19.4%) solid pseudopapilloma, 5 cases (16.1%) pancreatic cysts, and 3 (9.7%) benign cystic lesions, 3 cases (9.7%) were not easily classified. All the operations were successfully completed without conversion to laparotomy or death. There were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, splenic preservation rate, postoperative hospital stay and total hospitalization cost between the two groups (all P>0.05). The exhaust time in the monopolar electric scissors group was (2.8±0.7) d, which was shorter than that in the harmonic scalpel group (3.6±0.7) d, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.88, P=0.007). There was no postoperative bleeding in both groups. In the monopolar electric scissors group, there were 4 cases of postoperative complications, all of which were pancreatic fistula, including 2 cases of biochemical leakage and 2 cases of B-grade pancreatic fistula. In the harmonic scalpel group, 8 cases had postoperative complications, 7 cases of pancreatic fistula, including 3 cases of biochemical leakage, 4 cases of B-grade pancreatic fistula, and 3 cases of abdominal infection, which were cured after treatment. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P=0.717). Conclusion:The application of monopolar electric scissors in Da Vinci robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy could be safe and feasible in experienced hands, which could also utilize the advantages of robot system.

Objective:To determine the median effective dose (ED 50) of remimazolam for preoperative sedation in pediatric patients of different ages. Methods:This was a prospective study. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ pediatric patients, aged 1-6 yr, scheduled for elective surgery in our hospital from July to December 2023, in whom the preoperative anxiety was still not relieved after non-drug intervention (preoperative separation anxiety score [PSAS]≥3), were selected. According to the age, the children were divided into 1-<2 yr group, 2-<3 yr group, 3-<4 yr group, 4-<5 yr group and 5-6 yr group. A child's PSAS score = 1 at the time of separation from parents was classified as satisfactory sedation, and a PSAS score ≥ 2 was classified as unsatisfactory sedation. The initial dose of remimazolam in each group was 0.3 mg/kg, dose ratio 1.15. If the child was satisfactorily sedated, the next patient received a lower dose of remimazolam, or conversely if the child was not satisfactorily sedated, a higher dose was given in the next patient. The test was ended when 7 alternating waveforms appeared. The Dixon-Massey method was used to calculate the ED 50 and 95% confidence interval. Results:In 1-<2 yr group, 2-<3 yr group, 3-<4 yr group, 4-<5 yr group and 5-6 yr group, a total of 120 children were included in this study, with 26, 23, 21, 27 and 23 cases, respectively, and the ED 50 (95% confidence interval) of remimazolam for preoperative sedation was 0.152 (0.126-0.178), 0.159 (0.135-0.183), 0.171 (0.147-0.196), 0.150 (0.126-0.174), and 0.146 (0.121-0.170) mg/kg, respectively. There was no significant difference between the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The ED 50 of remimazolam for preoperative sedation is 0.152, 0.159, 0.171, 0.150 and 0.146 mg/kg for every 1 yr in children aged 1-6 yr, and the age factor does not affect the preoperative sedative effect of remimazolam in children of this age group.

ObjectiveTo investigate the anti-convulsant activity of goat horn and its effect on the main neurotransmitters in the brain of model mice. MethodA total of 120 mice were randomly divided into a blank group，a model group，a positive drug group （estazolam， 1 mg·kg^-1）， a Saigae Tataricae Cornu （STC， 0.2 g·kg^-1） group， and low- （1.25 g·kg^-1） and high-dose （2.5 g·kg^-1） goat horn groups. Drugs were administered by gavage once at 10 mL·kg^-1. Those in the blank group and the model group were given the same volume of 0.2% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose （CMC-Na）. The mice underwent threshold electrical stimulation once 2 h after administration. Ankylosing convulsion in the hind limbs of mice was used as the index to calculate the recovery period， convulsion rate， and mortality of ankylosing convulsion. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） was established to analyze the changes in the content of the main neurotransmitters in the brain tissues of mice. ResultTwo hours after intragastric administration of goat horn powder to mice， the recovery period of convulsion could be shortened and the convulsion rate and mortality were reduced （P<0.05）. In terms of anti-convulsant effect， the groups were ranked as follows： high-dose goat horn group > STC group > low-dose goat horn group. UPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that compared with the results in the model group， goat horn powder and STC decreased the content of glutamic acid and aspartic acid （P<0.05） and increased the content of glycine， γ-aminobutyric acid， and 5-hydroxytryptamine （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe results showed that goat horn had a significant anti-convulsant effect on the electroshock-induced convulsion mouse model， and the underlying mechanism was presumably attributed to the improvement of the development of convulsion by regulating the changes in neurotransmitter content in brain tissues.

In this prospective study, participants were divided by random number table into a control group and an experimental group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group performed routine postoperative LA care, and the experimental group performed routine postoperative LA care and sham-feeding state care. The age, gender, recovery time of postoperative bowel sounds, time of first postoperative anal discharge, postoperative nausea and vomiting, abdominal distention, dry mouth and halitosis, and postoperative abdominal pain and other complications were recorded. GraphPad Prism 9.0 and SPSS 22.0 software were adopted to conduct data organization and analysis.Results:There were 100 valid cases in this trial. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age, duration of surgery, abdominal pain and other symptoms ( P>0.05). The recovery time of bowel sounds after surgery was (8.92±0.56) h in the experimental group and (10.55±0.88) h in the control group, which was statistically significant ( t=10.99, P<0.0001); the recovery time of bowel sounds after surgery was (20.10±0.50) h in the experimental group and (20.96±0.59) h in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t=7.84, P<0.0001); there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group (22%) and the control group (42%) for postoperative nausea and vomiting ( χ2=4.60, P=0.032); there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group (16%) and the control group (52%) for postoperative abdominal distension ( χ2= There was a statistical difference between the experimental group (40%) and the control group (68%) ( χ2=7.89, P=0.005). The number of hospitalization days in the control group was (11.40±2.47) days and the days in the experimental group was (9.30±2.01) d, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=4.65, P<0.001); the hospitalization cost in the control group was (27 270.11±2 645.30) yuan and the cost in the experimental group was (23 669.68±2 841.28) yuan, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=6.56, P<0.001). Conclusion:To a certain extent, sham feeding can accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients after LA, reduce the common postoperative discomfort, length of stay and hospital costs of patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinical value of relative expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors mRNA (PPAR mRNA) and protein in placental tissues of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:52 pregnant women (the study group) with GDM who were admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2019 to Nov. 2020 and 50 normal pregnant women (the control group) who underwent physical examination and gave birth during the same period were selected. Serum samples were collected to detect the islet cell function. Placental tissue samples of the two groups of pregnant women were collected after delivery to measure the content of PPARγmRNA and protein in placental tissues and adipose tissues. The correlations between PPARγ in placental, adipose tissues of GDM pregnant women with islet cell function were analyzed.Results:The HOMA-IR level of the study group was higher than that of the control group [ (3.45±1.06) % vs (1.40±0.43) %], and the HOMA-β level [ (126.59±23.59) % vs (153.12±27.34) %] was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The PPARγ mRNA [ (1.65±0.21) vs (0.93±0.16) ] and PPARγ protein content [ (1.89±0.51) vs (1.02±0.23) ] of placenta tissue in the study group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05), the PPARγmRNA [ (0.49±0.12) vs (1.15±0.26) ] and PPARγ protein content [ (0.43±0.11) % vs (0.96±0.22) %] in adipose tissue were lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05). Adipose tissue PPARγ mRNA and PPARγ protein were negatively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r=-0.45, -0.33), and positively correlated with HOMA-β ( r=0.47, 0.43) ( P<0.05) ; placental tissue PPARγ mRNA and PPARγ protein were positively correlated with HOMA-IR ( r=0.40, 0.37), and negatively correlated with HOMA-β ( r=-0.44, -0.35) ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The levels of PPARγ mRNA and PPARγ protein are low expressed in adipose tissue of GDM patients, and highly expressed in placental tissues, and PPARγ expression is significantly correlated with HOMA-IR and HOMA-β, which can provide new clinical treatment for GDM Target and direction.

Objective:To compare Da-vinci robotic surgical system with laparoscopic surgery for the repair of hiatal hernia.Methods:The clinical data of 115 patients undergoing minimally invasive Nissen fundoplication at the Department of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital,Xuzhou Medical University from Dec 2019 to May 2022 were retrospectively studied. After propensity score matching (PSM), 46 cases in each group were included:Robot-assisted surgery (RS group) and laparoscopic surgery (LS group). Postoperative complications were collected and GERD Questionnaire (GERDQ) were used as the standard in evaluation of the results.Results:Patients in RS group had less intraoperative bleeding ( P<0.001), shorter postoperative gastrointestinal recovery time ( P<0.001), and shorter postoperative hospital stay ( P=0.002). The LS group had a shorter operative time ( P<0.001) and lower total hospital cost ( P<0.001). GERD-Q scores decreased significantly in both groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperative scores ( P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of postoperative complications ( P>0.05). No recurrence was seen in both groups during postoperative follow-up. Conclusion:Da-vinci robot-assisted repair of hiatal hernia is as safe and feasible as laparoscopic procedures, with less intraoperative trauma and quicker, earlier recovery.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of using bio-artificial dura mater to wrap around skeletonized hepatic artery during pancreatoduodenectomy in the prevention of gastroduodenal artery(GDA)stump related delayed bleeding.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 45 patients undergoing the bio-artificial dura mater wrapping skeletonized hepatic artery during pancreatoduodenectomy from Oct 2022 to Apr 2023 at Department of General Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University.Results:Among the 45 patients, the bio-artificial dura mater was used to completely wrap the GDA stump and part of the common hepatic artery and the proper hepatic artery. The mean operative time was (308.1±93.1) min, the mean wrapping artery time was (18.7±7.5) min. Clinically relevant postoperative grade B pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) occurred in 6 cases (13.3%), and intra-abdominal infection in 2 cases (4.4%).The rate of bile leakage was 2.2%.There were no second surgical operation, nor perioperative death. Postoperative delayed bleeding occurred in one case (2.2%) on the right hepatic artery branch near the hepatic portal. No pseudoaneurysm formation, nor bleeding occurring in any of the arteries wrapped by bio-artificial dura mater (including the GDA stump) after PD. There were no postoperative hepatic artery wrapping complications, such as hepatic artery stenosis, mesh-associated fluid accumulation and infection.Conclusion:Bio-artificial dura mater wrapping skeletonized hepatic artery technique in the process of pancreaticoduodenectomy can reduce the risk of delayed bleeding due to erosion of GDA stumps in case of post-PD pancreatic fistula.
