Both hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis and fatty liver disease are associated with lipid metabolism disorders and are commonly comorbid with each other in clinical practice. The pathogenesis of such comorbidity involves the interaction between multiple factors such as hypertriglyceridemia， metabolic syndrome， obesity， and insulin resistance， and these factors may form a vicious cycle and jointly promote disease progression. In clinical practice， hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis is characterized by severe disease conditions， a high incidence rate of complications， a high mortality rate， and a tendency for recurrence， and it can easily lead to multi-organ damage and even multiple organ failure without timely treatment， posing a serious threat to the life of patients. Starting from the various signaling pathways associated with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis comorbid with fatty liver disease， this article discusses the potential molecular mechanisms of synergistic pathogenesis between hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis and fatty liver disease， so as to provide a reference for the early prevention and treatment of such comorbidity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR）， platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio （PLR）， systemic immune-inflammation index （SII） and the severity of intrauterine adhesions （IUA）. MethodsThe retrospective study included 380 patients who underwent transcervical resection of adhesions （TCRA） from December 2019 to March 2025. Based on the American Fertility Society （AFS） classification， patients were divided into mild （n=61）， moderate （n=225）， and severe （n=94） groups. NLR， PLR， and SII were calculated from preoperative blood tests. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis test and ordinal Logistic regression. ResultsNLR， PLR， and SII were significantly higher in the severe IUA group compared to the mild group （P<0.05）， with SII showing the strongest predictive ability （OR=1.004， P=0.001）. The number of intrauterine procedures was an independent risk factor （OR=1.27/level， P=0.016）. The predictive model ［Logit（P）=-0.676+0.241×operation times+0.004×SII］ effectively identified severe IUA cases. ConclusionInflammatory markers （particularly SII） are correlated with IUA severity and may serve as non-invasive tools for clinical assessment.

The construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship requires both doctors and patients to bear the corresponding moral responsibilities. Patients’ moral responsibilities refer to the duties that patients should take action and bear the corresponding good and bad consequences to restore their physical or mental health， as well as the good qualities that help patients adapt to and integrate into their patient roles and pursue excellence. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities represents the practical vision and value orientation of patients’ moral responsibility research. Healthy bodies are the direct goal of patients’ moral responsibilities， harmonious interpersonal relationships serve as the basic goal， and good lives represent the core goal. The logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities returns to the human being， focusing on profound care for real patients and ideal construction. Healthy bodies， harmonious interpersonal relationships， and good lives collectively achieve “good patients”， who are the logical direction of patients’ moral responsibilities.

AIM:To investigate the dynamic changes in ocular surface function after eyelid malignant tumor resection combined with Hughes flap reconstruction.

METHODS:A prospective self-controlled study was conducted. Patients who underwent eyelid malignant tumor resection combined with Hughes tarsoconjunctival flap reconstruction(all tumors occured in the lower eyelid)at Shanxi Eye Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled. The contralateral healthy eye served as control. Ocular surface examinations were performed preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 mo postoperatively, including ocular surface disease index(OSDI), tear meniscus height(TMH), non-invasive average tear film break-up time(NiaBUT), tear film lipid layer grading, upper and lower eyelid meibomian gland dropout grading, corneal fluorescein staining, and eye redness index.

RESULTS:A total of 36 patients were enrolled. Two patients were lost to follow-up because they did not complete the scheduled follow-up period, leaving 34 patients with complete data for analysis. The cohort comprised 10 men(29%)and 24 women(71%), with a mean age of 70.08±10.92 y(range 33-81 y). Histopathological diagnoses included basal cell carcinoma(BCC)in 22 eyes(65%), sebaceous gland carcinoma(SGC)in 10 eyes(29%), and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)in 2 eyes(6%). Tumor size ranged from 4 to 30 mm(mean 12.64±0.31 mm). According to the AJCC staging system, 14 eyes(41%), 18 eyes(53%), and 2 eyes(6%)were classified as T1b, T2b, and T3b, respectively. Preoperatively, OSDI scores were higher in surgical eyes than in contralateral healthy eyes(28.74±13.72 vs 17.47±3.02, P<0.05). OSDI scores in surgical eyes further increased at 6, 9, and 12 mo postoperatively, peaking at 9 mo(all P<0.05), whereas no significant postoperative changes were observed in contralateral healthy eyes. Compared with contralateral healthy eyes, TMH in surgical eyes increased significantly at 3 mo postoperatively and remained elevated thereafter despite a slight decline(all P<0.05). NiaBUT in surgical eyes was shorter than the preoperative value from 3 mo postoperatively onward and was lower than that in contralateral healthy eyes(all P<0.05). Eye redness index in surgical eyes were consistently higher than those in contralateral healthy eyes(all P<0.001). Tear film lipid layer grade and meibomian gland dropout grades in both the upper and lower eyelids were significantly worsened postoperatively compared with baseline(all P<0.001). Corneal fluorescein staining grades were higher in surgical eyes than in contralateral healthy eyes preoperatively(P<0.001)and were higher at 3, 6, 9, and 12 mo postoperatively than at baseline(all P<0.001).

CONCLUSION: After lower eyelid malignant tumor resection combined with Hughes flap reconstruction, evaporative dry eye is the predominant phenotype. Meibomian gland dropout in both upper and lower eyelids appears irreversible within 12 mo postoperatively, and corneal epithelial damage and ocular surface inflammation persist over time.

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 observe the clinical efficacy of Shengdi Xiexin Decoction combined with proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)in the treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding(ANVUGIB)with stomach-heat congestion syndrome.Methods Sixty-two patients with ANVUGIB of stomach-heat congestion syndrome admitted to Dongguan Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between January and December 2024 were randomly divided into a treatment group(n=31)and a control group(n=31)using a random number table.The control group received conventional western therapy(e.g.,Omeprazole Sodium),while the treatment group additionally received Shengdi Xiexin Decoction.Both groups were treated for 7 days,followed by 8 weeks of follow-up.The changes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,hematological parameters[hemoglobin(Hb),red blood cells(RBC),hematocrit(Hct),albumin(ALB)],tissue perfusion and metabolic markers[blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio(BUN/Cr),lactate(Lac)levels],hemostasis time,time to resume oral diet,hospital stay duration,hospitalization costs,and rebleeding rates were observed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and drug safety.Results(1)After 7 days of treatment,the total effective rate was significantly higher in the treatment group(90.32％,28/31)than that in the control group(74.19％,23/31).The intergroup comparison(by chi-square test)showed that the treatment group,efficacy was superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(2)The treatment group showed significantly short hemostasis time,time to resume oral diet,and hospital stay duration(P＜0.05),as well as significantly low hospitalization costs(P＜0.05)compared to the control group.(3)Both groups exhibited significant reductions in the scores of epigastric burning pain,abdominal distension,acid regurgitation,restlessness,excessive thirst,scanty dark uring and dry stools,and total TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.05).The treatment group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in the scores of abdominal distension,acid regurgitation,restlessness,dark uring and dry stools,and total TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.05),while no significant differences were observed in epigastric burning pain and excessive thirst(P＞0.05).(4)Hb and Hct levels increased significantly in both groups(P＜0.05),with a greater increase in the treatment group(P＜0.05).Although RBC and ALB levels showed an upward trend,no significant differences were observed between groups(P＞0.05).Following treatment,intergroup comparisons revealed that the treatment group demonstrated significantly greater increases in Hb and Hct levels than the control group(P＜0.05).In contrast,the two groups showed comparable effects in elevating RBC and ALB levels,with no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05).(5)BUN/Cr ratio and Lac levels decreased significantly in both groups(P＜0.05),with a more pronounced reduction in the treatment group(P＜0.05).(6)No significant differences were found in early or delayed rebleeding rates between groups(P＞0.05).(7)Neither group experienced significant adverse events.Conclusion Shengdi Xiexin Decoction combined with PPIs significantly improves clinical outcomes in ANVUGIB patients with stomach-heat congestion syndrome.It is effective on enhancing hematological parameters,correcting tissue hypoperfusion,alleviating symptoms,shortening hemostasis time and hospitalization durations,and reducing medical costs,demonstrating excellent safety.

Objective To analyze the correlations of autoimmune diseases(AIDs)with the risk of developing pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases.Methods A total of 451,497 participants from the UK Biobank were recruited,with the primary outcomes being pancreatic endocrine and exo-crine diseases.International Classification of Diseases 9/10(ICD9/10)codes were used to define each AIDs,the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases.Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the relationships between AIDs and pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases,with adjustments for age,gender,ethnicity,Townsend deprivation index,smoking,alcohol consumption,body mass index,waist circumference,hip circumference,hypertension,dyslipidemia,and gallstones.Results A total of 415,497 participants were included,among which 37,482 de-veloped pancreas-related diseases during follow-up.Among patients with AIDs,the proportions of those with pancreatic exocrine and endocrine diseases were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Rheumatoid arthritis[HR(95％CI):1.438(1.161 to 1.781)],ankylosing spondylitis[HR(95％CI):1.675(1.009 to 2.780)],ulcerative colitis[HR(95％CI):1.335(1.037 to 1.719)],and Crohn's disease[HR(95％CI):1.530(1.154 to 2.028)]were all associated with an increased risk of de-veloping pancreatic exocrine diseases(all P＜0.05);additionally,rheumatoid arthritis[HR(95％CI):1.119(1.004 to 1.248)],ulcerative colitis[HR(95％CI):1.324(1.175 to 1.491)],sys-temic sclerosis[HR(95％CI):2.08(1.355 to 3.191)],and Crohn's disease[HR(95％CI):1.394(1.197 to 1.624)]were also associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic en-docrine diseases(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Overall AIDs and some specific AIDs are associated with an increased risk of developing pancreatic endocrine and exocrine diseases,and early preven-tion of pancreatic diseases in patients with AIDs should be emphasized in clinical practice.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of compound kushen injection combined with fentanyl transdermal patch for the treatment of final stage cancer pain.Methods A total of 100 patients with cancer pain were divided into 2 groups of 50 patients each according to the randomized numerical table method.The control group was treated with fentanyl transdermal patch only,and the observation group was treated with fentanyl transdermal patch combined with compound kushen injection.The KPS score,NRS score,pain relief rate after treatment,incidence of adverse reactions and effect on levels of inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-8 and CRP were compared between the two groups.Results The pain relief rate of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the KPS score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05),and the incidence of NRS score,IL-6,IL-8,CRP levels and gastrointestinal reactions were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of hepatic and renal damage,dizziness and somnolence between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compound kushen injection combined with fentanyl transdermal patch can effectively improve cancer pain,reduce the release of inflammatory factors,improve the patient quality of life,and the incidence of adverse reactions is low.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of hippocampal neuron death,and to explore the relationship between necroptosis of hippocampal neurons and impaired learning and memory in vascular dementia(VaD)mice model.Methods Except the sham group,the mouse model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion vascular dementia was constructed by bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries(2VO).Morris water maze was used to evaluate the cognitive of mice.The mRNA expressions of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL in the hippocampal region of mice was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR).The protein expressions of RIPK1,RIPK3,pRIPK3 and MLKL were detected by Western blotting,and their correlation with the cognitive ability was analyzed.The co-localization of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL was detected by immunofluorescence double labeling.Results qPCR showed that compared with sham group,mRNA expressions of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL in hipp-ocampal neurons in VaD group were significantly increased.Western blot results showed that the protein levels of RIPK1,pRIPK3 and MLKL in hippocampal neuron of VaD group were also significantly increased.The co-expression localization of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL was significantly enhanced in the hippocampus of the mouse model by immunofluorescence double labeling.Further study showed that the expressions of RIPK1,RIPK3 and MLKL were negatively correlated with the target quadrant residence time and the number of platform crossing in the mouse model.Conclusion In the VaD mouse model,the loss of hippocampal neurons and the development of learning and memory dysfunction may be caused by the activation of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway,which leads to the programmed necrosis of neurons.

The incidence of apoplexy remains persistently high among the older population.Based on the traditional Chinese medicine principle of"treating the elderly by focusing on the fu",this paper explores the holistic connotation of"fu".It proposes that the onset of apoplexy in the elderly is characterized by obstruction,stagnation,depression,and sluggishness,which should be treated from six fu viscera,xuanfu,and collaterals.The interconnected hierarchical network of these three systems,serving as macro-and micro-channels for qi and fluid metabolism,plays a central role in both disease development and treatment.The failure of the six fu viscera to descend and the upward invasion of turbid yin are identified as prerequisites for apoplexy onset,whereas yang qi stagnation and xuanfu blockage act as key pathogenic drivers,and the core mechanisms involve phlegm-stasis-toxin accumulation,and dysfunction of the collaterals and fu.In the treatment,acute phase requires unblocking fu viscera and restoring xuanfu patency;chronic phase focuses on dredging collaterals and opening xuanfu;and recovery phase emphasizes tonifying combined with regulating xuanfu.The understanding of"treating the elderly by focusing on the fu"emphasizes that the pathogenesis of the disease should be changed to individual conditions;"six fu viscera-xuanfu-collaterals"exhibits a pathological mechanism characterized by the transmission and reception of pathogenic factors,as well as progressive mutual involvement;in clinical practice,treatment should meticulously assess the severity and nuances of the condition,prioritizing method that emphasizes unobstructed flow;additionally,therapy should be essential to protect stomach qi and integrate therapeutic attacks within a framework of supplementation.These principles offer valuable reference for the differentiation and treatment of apoplexy.
