Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

The classical famous prescription Dajianzhong Decoction is recorded in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has a long history and definite clinical effects, while this prescription has not been manufactured into Chinese patent medicine preparation. We collected many ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) by using the method of bibliometrics and got 211 valid data terms which involved 67 ancient books. The history, main treated syndromes, formulation principle, origins and processiong of medicinal materials, and decoction method of Dajianzhong Decoction were analyzed. Despite the different views of various generations of medical experts toward the composition of this prescription, the compatibility ratio of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma to Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens is constant. Furthermore, we explored the origins of synonyms of Dajianzhong Decoction. On the basis of this study, we hope to gain an insight into the research and development of the compound preparations of Dajianzhong Decoction and provide reference for the heritage and innovation of other classical prescriptions.

This study established a method for rapid quantification of terpene lactone, bilobalide, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide A and ginkgolide B in the chromatographic process of Ginkgo Folium based on near infrared spectroscopy(NIRS). The effects of competitive adaptive reweighting sampling(CARS), random frog(RF), and synergy interval partial least squares(siPLS) on the performance of partial least squares regression(PLSR) model were compared to the reference values measured by HPLC. Among them, the correlation coefficients of prediction(Rp) of validation sets of terpene lactone, bilobalide, and ginkgolide C were all higher than 0.98, and the relative standard errors of prediction(RSEPs) were 5.87%, 6.90% and 6.63%, respectively. Aiming at ginkgolide A and ginkgolide B with relatively low content, the genetic algorithm joint extreme learning machine(GA-ELM) was used to establish the optimized quantitative analysis model. Compared with CARS-PLSR model, the CARS-GA-ELM models of ginkgolide A and ginkgolide B exhibited a reduction in RSEP from 15.65% to 8.52% and from 21.28% to 10.84%, respectively, which met the needs of quantitative ana-lysis. It has been proved that NIRS can be used for the rapid detection of various lactone components in the chromatographic process of Ginkgo Folium.

Pneumonectomy is mainly used for central primary bronchogenic carcinoma. In order to remove neoplastic tissue to the maximum, one side of the lung tissue needs to be resected.These results in an increased risk of postoperative complications in pneumonectomy compared to lung function preserved lung surgery. But this does not mean that it is the second best thing to abandon its oncology treatment benefits that are unmatched by other surgical methods in the treatment of lung cancer. We should not judge one surgical approach itself but to maxmize its therapeutic benefit through select suitable patients and practice strict perioperative planning. Preoperatively assess the patient's tumor and lymph node status and surgical resectability, cardiopulmonary function, and select the patients who can benefit the most from the operation; Reduce lung injury caused by anesthesia, avoid nerve damage such as phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, vagus nerve branch, etc., reduce the risk factors of anastomotic healing such as blood supply around the anastomosis. Optimize airway management, ventilator management, fluid management, pain management, nutritional support, cardiopulmonary support, spontaneous cough, early activity and other factors in intraoperative and postoperative management. It may be possible to maximize the benifit of a surgical procedure in oncology treatment while avoiding risks.

In this study, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Ginkgo biloba extract 50 (GBE50) and its mechanism of action on NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles were observed by primary microglia cells. LPS/ATP was used to stimulate microglia, and the best time for stimulation and optimal concentration of GBE50 were screened. Pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 and TNF-α was determined by ELISA. Western blot was performed to observe the protein expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1 in cultured primary rat microglia. Effect of GBE50 on NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscle aggregation was detected by CO-IP. GBE50 (10 mg·L⁻¹) preconditioning could significantly inhibit the expression of LPS (100 μg·L⁻¹,12 h), ATP (5 mmol·L⁻¹, 30 min) induced primary microglia corpuscle associated protein, inflammatory corpuscle aggregation, and the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α. These results indicated that GBE50 could inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors after microglia activation, which is related to down regulating the protein expression and activity of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscle.
