OBJECTIVE To establish a interview outline design process and quality control evaluation method based on grounded theory， providing ideas for qualitative research interview outline design in medical fields. METHODS A literature review was conducted to understand the current research status； a preliminary interview outline was developed around the research content. The triangulation method， group evaluation， expert review and pre-interview were adopted to execute the interview outline and conduct quality control. The evaluation indicators and target values were formulated （an average score for the overall quality evaluation of all indicators ≥4.5， and an average score for individual indicators ≥4.00） to evaluate the effect of the interview outline. Taking the research on the mechanism of physicians’ prescribing behavior under the background of Diagnosis Related Groups （DRGs） payment as an example， the methodological contents of above interview outline were applied in practical research. RESULTS The interview outline included basic information and interview questions. The interview questions were divided into three parts：influencing factors survey， promoting and hindering factors of standardizing physician prescription behavior， and communication， with a total of 12 questions. After being reviewed by members of the research group， experts review and pre- interview， a total of 9 people participated in the quality control evaluation of the interview outline. The overall evaluation score was 4.94 （＞4.50）， and the average score of each indicator was greater than 4.00， indicating that the quality of the outline met the requirements for the interview and could be used for the formal interview. CONCLUSIONS The established interview outline design and quality control method based on grounded theory provides ideas for the qualitative research interview outline design in the medical field， and lays the foundation for further using grounded theory to study the influencing factors and mechanisms of physician prescription behavior under the DRG background.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect and potential mechanism of imperatorin （IMP） on doxorubicin （DOX） resistance in breast cancer. METHODS The effects of maximum non-toxic concentration （100 μg/mL） of IMP combined with different concentrations of DOX （12.5， 25， 50， 75， 100 μg/mL） on the proliferation of MCF-7/DOX cells were determined by MTT method. MCF-7/DOX cells were divided into blank control group （1‰ dimethyl sulfoxide）， DOX group （50 μg/mL）， IMP+DOX group （100 μg/mL IMP+50 μg/mL DOX） and IMP group （100 μg/mL）. mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance protein 1 （MDR1） and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 in each group were measured. The relevant pathways and targets involved in the improvement of DOX resistance in breast cancer cells by IMP were screened and validated by using transcriptome sequencing technology， along with gene ontology （GO） enrichment analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses. RESULTS Compared with DOX alone， the combination of IMP and DOX reduced the half inhibitory concentration of DOX on MCF-7/DOX cells from 81.965 μg/mL to 43.170 μg/mL， the reverse fold was 1.90， and the mRNA expression of MDR1 was significantly down-regulated （P＜0.05）. The results of GO enrichment analyses and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses indicated that the reversal of DOX resistance in breast cancer by IMP was mainly associated with the regulation of biological processes such as detoxification， multiple biological processes， and cell killing. The main pathway involved was the p53 signaling pathway， and the key targets mainly included constitutively photomorphogenic protein 1 （COP1）， cyclin E1 （CCNE1）， growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45A E-mail：tangxilan1983@163.com （GADD45A） and GADD45B. The results of the verification experiments showed that compared with DOX group， there was a trend of up-regulation of COP1 mRNA， and significant down- regulation of CCNE1， GADD45A， and GADD45B mRNA expression in IMP+DOX group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The effect of IMP in ameliorating DOX resistance in breast cancer is related to its regulation of COP1， CCNE1， GADD45A and GADD45B targets in the p53 signaling pathway.

Tripterygium wilfordii is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb belonging to the genus Tripterygium in the Celastraceae family， which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying， dispelling wind and dampness， and invigorating blood circulation to relieve pain， and is used to treat diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis， glomerulonephritis， nephrotic syndrome， lupus erythematosus， scabies， and stubborn tinea. Its chemical composition is diverse. Among them， triptolide（TP） is one of the main active and toxic components of T. wilfordii. It has significant biological activities such as anti-inflammation， anti-tumor， and immunosuppression. However， it causes serious adverse reactions such as liver and kidney function damage and reproductive system disorders. At the same time， TP has poor water solubility and low bioavailability， and the enhancement of bioavailability by increasing the dosage undoubtedly improves the exposure of the drug in non-target organs， leading to the occurrence of adverse reactions， and these largely limit the clinical application of TP. Based on this， this article extracted relevant data from the Web of Science， PubMed， and China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI） databases， summarized the research on the adverse reactions of TP in recent years， and reviewed the progress of toxicity reduction research from the perspectives of structural modification， novel drug delivery systems， and compatibility. Structural modification can precisely alter the chemical structure of TP， reduce the activity of its toxic groups， and retain its biological activity while fundamentally reducing the occurrence of adverse reactions. New drug delivery systems can achieve targeted delivery of TP， increase its concentration in target organs， and reduce its exposure in non-target organs， thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing adverse effects. In addition， the combination of TP with Chinese medicine compound， single-flavored Chinese medicine or monomer can reduce the adverse effects of TP and enhance the efficacy to different degrees， which is of clinical value. This paper systematically explains attenuation research from the above three perspectives， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the full utilization of biological activity and drug development of TP.

Objective:To explore the effect of multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening in diabetic foot.Methods:From January to December 2022, 138 patients with diabetic foot were selected from Xinxiang Central Hospital by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 69 cases in each group. Control group implemented routine follow-up management of diabetic foot, and observation group carried out multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening on the basis of control group, and the intervention lasted for six months. The progress of Wagner grading of diabetic foot and foot self-care were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the number of Wagner grading progression patients in observation group and control group was four cases (5.80%) and 10 cases (14.49%), respectively. The number of progression patients in observation group was less than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.161, P=0.041). The total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in the two groups after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, but only the scores of observation group before and after the intervention were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in observation group were higher than those in control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening can effectively delay the progress of diabetic foot and improve patients' foot self-care.

Lipophosphatidic acid(LTA)was used to stimulate Mac-T cells,and the expression lev-els and phosphorylation levels of key proteins of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway and the expression levels of upstream key action factors TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were detected by Western blot,and EDU assay was used to detect cell proliferation levels and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis.The results showed that acti-vation of GPR120 significantly decreased the phosphorylation levels of LTA-induced NF-κB(P65 and IκBα)(P＜0.01)and MAPK(JNK,ERK,p38)(P＜0.01)in Mac-T cells;inhibition of GPR120 was able to upregulate LTA-induced NF-κB(p65 and IκBα)in Mac-T cells(P＜0.01)and MAPK(JNK,ERK,p38)phosphorylation levels(P＜0.01);and activation of GPR120 significantly allevia-ted LTA-induced upregulation of TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.01);inhibition of GPR120 significantly exacerbated LTA-induced upregulation of TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.05);LTA stimulation led to a trend of diminished Mac-T cell proliferation and significantly increased apoptosis,whereas activa-tion of the GPR120 gene significantly increased cell activity(P＜0.01),promoted cell proliferation and significantly reduced apoptosis(P＜0.05)thereby alleviating the damage to Mac-T cells by LTA;LTA stimulation led to a highly significant increase in apoptosis(P＜0.01).In contrast,acti-vation of the GPR120 gene significantly reversed the increase in the apoptosis rate of Mac-T cells induced by LTA(P＜0.01),while inhibition of the GPR120 gene enhanced the apoptosis-promo-ting effect of LTA(P＜0.05),indicating that activation of the GPR120 gene attenuated the in-crease of apoptosis rate caused by LTA-induced inflammatory Mac-T cells.The results suggest that GPR120 can regulate inflammation by mediating TLR4 and MyD88 expression to inhibit NF-κB/MAPK inflammatory pathway activation and can promote cell proliferation.

Objective:To identify the factors influencing acute kidney injury (AKI) following abdominal surgery in elderly patients and develop a predictive model based on the LASSO regression.Methods:The medical records of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status classificationⅠ-Ⅳ patients, aged ≥60 yr, with operation time ≥ 2 h, undergoing elective abdominal surgery under anesthesia in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from May 2021 to May 2023, were retrospectively collected. AKI was diagnosed based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes organization guidelines. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether AKI occurred within 7 days after surgery: AKI group and non-AKI group. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm was performed to reduce the dimension of unbalanced factors between AKI group and non-AKI group and the known risk factors for AKI. A nomogram prediction model was developed by integrating the optimized features derived from the LASSO regression model into multivariate logistic regression analysis. Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap method, and the predictive ability and accuracy of the prediction model were assessed through the calibration curve, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, Brier index and decision curve analysis.Results:Five hundred and ninety patients were finally included in this study, with 62 cases (10.5%) suffered postoperative AKI. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased age ( OR=1.06, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.01-1.11, P=0.048), higher ASA classification ( OR=2.32, 95% CI 1.21-4.45, P=0.011), preoperative coronary heart disease ( OR=1.89, 95% CI 1.01-3.61, P=0.049), and longer surgical duration ( OR=1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.02, P=0.004) were risk factors for AKI after abdominal surgery, and the intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine ( OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.08-0.59, P=0.003) and increased postoperative albumin concentrations ( OR=0.91, 95% CI 0.85-0.98, P=0.017) were protective factors for postoperative AKI in elderly patients ( P<0.05). A risk prediction model was constructed based on the 9 identified factors of age, ASA classification, Charlson Comorbidity Index, preoperative coronary heart disease, preoperative hemoglobin concentration, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, surgical duration, intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine and postoperative albumin concentration. A nomogram was plotted to visualize the model and verify it, showing that the Brier score of the model was 0.079, with a discrimination of 0.844, sensitivity of 84.4%, and specificity of 70.2%. Two hundred bootstrap resamples were used for internal validation, yielding a receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.821 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.79 to 0.90. The clinical decision curve indicated significant net benefits when the threshold probability of the model was between 0.03 and 0.45. Conclusions:Increased age, higher ASA classification, preoperative coronary heart disease, and longer surgical duration are risk factors, and the intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine and increased postoperative albumin concentrations are protective factors for postoperative AKI in elderly patients. The AKI prediction model following abdominal surgery developed based on age, ASA classification, Charlson Comorbidity Index, preoperative coronary heart disease, preoperative hemoglobin concentration, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, surgical duration, intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine and postoperative albumin concentration has good predictive value in elderly patients.

Objective:To investigate the application value of antegrade splenic superior region dissection first in laparoscopic total gastrectomy of obesity gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 21 obesity patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from July 2018 to October 2023 were collected. There were 16 males and 5 females, aged (58±13)years. All 21 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrec-tomy with antegrade splenic superior region dissection first. Observation indicators: operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, laparotomy conversion, intraoperative splenic hemorrhage or gastric hemorrhage, lymph node dissection, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, duration of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complication. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and count data were expressed as absolute numbers. Results:All 21 patients underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy success-fully, with the operation time of (283±47)minutes, time for splenogastric ligament and vascular manage-ment of (34±12)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss of (143±86)mL, and no laparotomy conversion. There was no intraoperative splenic hemorrhage or gastric haemorrhage. The total number of lymph node dissected in 21 patients was 375, with the number of lymph node dissected as (21±9)per case. Time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay in 21 patients were (3.1±0.7)days, (4.0±0.8)days and (10.1±3.0)days, respectively. There were 2 patients with postoperative complications, including 1 case of incision infection and 1 case of lung infection. The 2 patients with postoperative com-plications were recovered and discharged after conservative treatment. There was no death during the postoperative 30 days.Conclusion:The application of antegrade splenic superior region dissec-tion first in laparoscopic total gastrectomy is safe and feasible, which can reduce surgical difficulty.

Objective:To investigate the effect of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with different expression levels of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and the influencing factors of prognosis.Methods:The retrospective case series analysis and cohort study were conducted. Clinical data of 20 MBC patients with different expression levels of HER2 treated with T-DXd at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were retrospectively collected to analyze the efficacy and safety of T-DXd. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.Results:All 20 patients were female, with a median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 49 years old (40 years old, 58 years old). Of the 20 cases, 12 had low expression of HER2 [immunohistochemistry HER2+, or immunohistochemistry ++ and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-negative], and 8 had overexpression of HER2 (immunohistochemistry HER2+++, or immunohistochemistry ++ and FISH-positive); median number of lines of treatment with T-DXd was 6 lines (3 lines, 7 lines); 14 patients had partial remission, 3 patients had stable disease, and 3 patients had disease progression, with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 70% (14/20) and a disease control rate of 85% (17/20). Eight patients with overexpression of HER2 had objective remission in 6 cases, and 12 patients with low expression of HER2 had objective remission in 8 cases, and the ORR difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P = 1.000). The main adverse reactions of the patients were nausea (14 cases), vomiting (12 cases), leukopenia (10 cases), elevated aspartate aminotransferase (10 cases), elevated alanine aminotransferase (9 cases), anemia (8 cases), fatigue (8 cases), alopecia (8 cases), neutropenia (6 cases), and thrombocytopenia (5 cases); ≥ grade 3 adverse reactions were bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reactions, all with an incidence of ≤10%. The median follow-up time was 7.1 months (1.9 months, 11.5 months). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 6.5 months (95% CI: 3.9-9.1 months), and the median PFS time of patients with overexpression of HER2 was longer than that of patients with low expression of HER2 [7.0 months (95% CI: 6.4- 7.6 months) vs. 4.0 months (95% CI: 1.7-6.3 months)], and the difference in PFS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.025). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that overexpression of HER2 was an independent protective factor for PFS in MBC patients treated with T-DXd ( HR = 0.265, 95% CI: 0.075-0.945, P = 0.041). Conclusions:MBC patients with overexpression or low expression of HER2 have a good therapeutic effect and safety profile when treated with T-DXd. The overexpression of HER2 may predict good PFS in MBC patients treated with T-DXd, and may serve as a biomarker for predicting PFS in such patients, but it may not affect the ORR.

Generally, small for gestational age(SGA) infants will catch up with growth after birth, but some SGAs fail to show enough catch-up growth, leading to physical growth backwardness, and the risk of metabolic diseases in adult offspring increases. The application of exogenous growth hormone replacement therapy can ensure and promote the occurrence of SGA catching up with growth. However, as growth hormone exerts therapeutic effects in related clinical diseases, clinical attention is gradually being paid to whether growth hormone may bring long-term risks. This article aims to review the efficacy and potential risks of growth hormone treatment for SGA.

【Objective】 To study and compare the effects of different storage temperature and time on coagulation factor after cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor(CAF) melting, and to provide reference for the establishment of industry standards. 【Methods】 From June 2021 to May 2023, a total of 96 bags of CAF were sampled in 4 bags per month, and timely detected in the same month. After the CAF was melted in a 37℃ water bath, the mild to moderate lipemic blood was labeled. Each bag of CAF and two 50 mL transfer bags were divided into two bags and two groups of 20 mL each using a sterile adapter. One group was placed in a 4℃ refrigerator and the other in a 22℃ water bath for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. Then 2 mL of aseptic sample was taken separately and put into the test tube, and 1mL of sample and 3 mL of buffer were added into the other test tube with the sampling gun and mixed on the machine for testing. The experimental data of 60 bags without mild to moderate lipemic blood cryoprecipitation and coagulation factor were randomly selected and statistically analyzed by SPSS21.0. 【Results】 After melting, CAF was stored for 0 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h to detect the average content and growth rate of coagulation factor in the two groups: 1) Storage at 4℃, factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 111.57(-5.95%), 105.51(-11.05%), 103.30(-12.92%), 94.35(-20.46%) and 83.25(-29.82%) IU/ bag, respectively; Storage at 22℃, the factor Ⅷ content was 118.62, 112.69(-5.00%), 111.41(-6.08%), 109.01(-8.10%), 101.55(-14.39%) and 92.75(-21.81%) IU/ bag, and the storage results of the two groups were compared. At 24 h at 4℃ and 48 h at 22℃, the content of factor Ⅷ had significant statistical significance(P<0.01), and when stored at 22℃, the decay rate of factor Ⅷ was slower; 2) When stored at 4℃, the content of factor V was 41.19, 41.31(0.29%), 40.52(-1.64%), 40.27(-2.23%), 39.05(-5.19%) and 36.99(-10.21%) IU/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the factor V content was 41.19, 41.71(1.25%), 42.54(3.28%), 41.94(1.80%), 39.21(-4.80%) and 35.64(-13.48%) IU/ bag, respectively. Comparison of storage results between the two groups showed that the content of factor V was statistically significant(P<0.05) and significantly significant(P<0.01) at 4℃48 h and 22℃48 h, respectively, and the decay rate of factor V was faster when stored at 22℃; 3) When stored at 4℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 268.17(-0.26%), 262.46(-2.38%), 270.50(0.61%), 267.52(-0.50%) and 261.92(-2.58%) mg/ bag, respectively; Stored at 22℃, the Fbg content was 268.86, 265.86(-1.12%), 264.12(-1.77%), 265.89(-1.11%), 266.04(-1.05%) and 261.04(-2.91%) mg/ bag, respectively. There was no statistical significance between the 2 groups and the original 0 h content in each time period(P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 After CAF melting, coagulation factor decreased with the extension of storage time, especially the decrease of factor Ⅷ, followed by factor V, while Fbg basically unchanged. Comparison between the two groups showed that, factor Ⅷ decay rate is slower, factor V decay rate is faster of storage at 22℃. CAF should be transfused as soon as possible after melting. If the delay is unavoidable, for the delay time less than 12 h, storage at 4℃ is recommended, fot the delay time more than 12 h and less than 24 h, storage at 22℃ is recommended.
