OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Estradiol tablet/Estradiol and dydrogesterone tablet combined with Dan’e fukang decoction on postoperative recovery， sex hormone levels， uterine artery blood flow， and endometrium in patients with high risk of endometrial basal layer injury after induced abortion， and evaluate the safety of drug use. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 244 patients with high risk of endometrial basal layer injury who underwent artificial abortions in our hospital between January 2022 and December 2023. They were divided into control group （120 cases） and observation group （124 cases） according to postoperative medication plan. All patients received anti-infective treatment after induced abortion. Based on it， control group was given Estradiol tablet/Estradiol and dydrogesterone tablet， and observation group was given Estradiol tablet/Estradiol and dydrogesterone tablet+Dan’e fukang decoction， for consecutive 28 d. The time of vaginal bleeding， abdominal pain， return of menstruation， and vaginal bleeding volume were observed in 2 groups； serum sex hormone levels [serum follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， estradiol， and progesterone]， uterine artery blood flow parameters [peak systolic blood flow velocity （PSV）， pulsatility index （PI）， and resistance index （RI）] and endometrial thickness were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of complications and adverse reactions in patients were recorded. RESULTS After treatment， the duration of vaginal bleeding， vaginal bleeding volume， duration of abdominal pain， and menstrual cycle recovery time in observation group were significantly shorter or less than the control group （P＜0.05）. After treatment， both groups exhibited a significant increase in endometrial thickness， serum FSH and LH levels， and PSV， compared to before treatment， and the observation group was significantly thicker/higher than the control group （P＜0.05）； the levels of estradiol and progesterone， as well as the values of PI and RI， were significantly lower than those before treatment， and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group （P＜0.05）. The total incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）， but there was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Estradiol tablet/Estradiol and dydrogesterone tablet combined with Dan’e fukang decoction can accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients with high risk of endometrial basal layer injury after induced abortion， promote endometrial growth， regulate serum sex hormone levels， improve uterine artery blood flow， reduce postoperative complications， and have good safety.

Objective To investigate the effect of Ba Bao Dan(BBD)on cardiac injury induced by doxorubicin in zebrafish.Methods We induced a zebrafish myocardial injury model using the chemotherapeutic drug,doxorubicin.We then examined the effects of different concentrations of BBD on pericardial edema and heart rate under an in vivo microscope.We also examined the inhibitory effects of BBD on neutrophil infiltration in the heart in Tg(mpx:EGFP)transgenic zebrafish.The impacts of BBD on superoxide dismutase,catalase,and malondialdehyde were observed.mRNA expression levels of ferroptosis-related factors,including glutathione peroxidase 4a(gpx4a),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(ptgs2),arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase(alox5a),and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(acsl4)were determined by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The accumulation of ferrous ions in zebrafish heart was assessed using a fluorescent probe for ferrous ions.Results BBD alleviated doxorubicin-induced pericardial edema and bradycardia in zebrafish,reduced neutrophil infiltration in the heart(P＜0.05),decreased malondialdehyde concentration(P＜0.05),and enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase(P＜0.05).BBD also significantly inhibited ferroptosis,reduced the accumulation of ferrous ions in the zebrafish heart,suppressed the expression of ptgs2,alox5a,and acsl4(P＜0.05),and promoted the expression of gpx4a(P＜0.05).Conclusions BBD can attenuate doxorubicin-induced zebrafish myocardial injury and improve cardiac function by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and regulating ferroptosis.

Background: and Purpose The relationships among interleukin (IL)-10 levels, anxiety, and cognitive status after stroke remain controversial. We aimed to determine the associations of serum IL-10 levels with poststroke anxiety (PSA) and poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Methods: We recruited 350 patients with stroke, of whom only 151 completed a 1-month follow-up assessment. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to assess the cognitive status and anxiety, respectively. Serum IL-10 levels were measured within 24 hours of admission. Results: IL-10 levels were significantly lower in the PSA group than in the non-PSA group, and they were negatively associated with HAMA scores (r=-0.371, p<0.001). After adjusting for all potential confounders, IL-10 levels remained an independent predictor of PSA (odds ratio=0.471, 95% confidence interval=0.237–0.936, p=0.032). IL-10 levels were strongly correlated with behavior during interviews, psychic anxiety, and somatic anxiety. Patients without PSCI had higher IL-10 levels were higher in non-PSCI patients than in PSCI patients, and they were positively associated with MMSE scores in the bivariate correlation analysis (r=0.169, p=0.038), and also with memory capacity, naming ability, and copying capacity.However, IL-10 did not predict PSCI in the univariable or multivariable logistic regression. Conclusions Low IL-10 levels were associated with increased risks of PSA and PSCI at a 1-month follow-up after stroke. Serum IL-10 levels may therefore be helpful in predicting PSA.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an allergic disease of nasal mucosa, currently the consensus has been reached that there is a Th1/Th2 imbalance in AR′s pathogenesis, meanwhile there are defects in the number and/or function of Treg cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have characteristics of multiple differentiation potential, low immunogenicity and immunomodulation function, which can be migrated and implanted into the nasal inflammatory mucosal, recovering the Th1/Th2 immune balance and up-regulate the Treg cells by immunomodulatory function to improve AR. For the present, the treatment of AR by MSCs is basically at the animal experiment stage. This paper reviews the progress of MSCs in AR′s treatment and provides a basis for the clinical treatment of MSCs.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Shure granule combined with estradiol valerate in the prevention of intrauterine adhesions in induced abortion.Methods: Selected 240 cases of artificial abortion were divided into observation group and control group according to the order of admission, 120 cases each.Patients in the control group were treated with estradiol valerate.The observation group was treated with Shure granules on the basis of the control group;The treatment time was 3 weeks.The time of vaginal bleeding and the amount of bleeding, menstruation, retidal and adverse drug reactions of the two groups were observed;The levels of serum fibronectin (FN), human laminin (LN) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were compared between the two groups before and after the operation.The adhesion of the 12 cases in the two cases was compared.Results: The time of vaginal bleeding and the amount of bleeding in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (P＜0.05), and the normal rate of menstrual volume was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The serum levels of FN, LN and VEGF in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group 2 weeks after the operation (P＜0.05).After 12 months, the incidence of intrauterine adhesions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion: The efficacy of Shure granule combined with estradiol valerate in preventing intrauterine adhesions in induced abortion is superior to estradiol valerate alone.
