Liumotang comes from the Yuan dynasty's Effective Prescription Handed Down for Generations of Physicians. It is composed of six medicinal materials： Arecae Semen， Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum， Aucklandiae Radix， Linderae Radix， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， and Aurantii Fructus. It is a classical formula for treating abdominal pain due to Qi stagnation and constipation accompanied by heat. This study systematically collated the records of Liumotang in ancient medical books and modern clinical literature and conducted in-depth analysis and textual research on its formula source， main diseases， composition， dosage， medical books， container capacity， processing， preparation method， usage， drug basis， formula meaning， and other key information， so as to provide a powerful reference for the development and clinical application of compound preparations of the classical formula Liumotang. The results show that Liumotang was first seen in Effective Prescription Handed Down for Generations of Physicians， and many medical books of the past dynasties have imitated this. In terms of drug basis， the dried and mature seeds of the palm plant Areca catechu， resin-containing wood of the Daphneaceae plant Aquilaria sinensis， the dried roots of the Asteraceae plant woody Aucklandia lappa， the dried tuber root of the Lauraceae plant Lindera aggregata， the dried roots and rhizomes of the knotweed plant， R. palmatum， R.tangutikum， and R. officinale， and the dried and unripe fruits of the citrus genus C. aurantium and its cultivated varieties from the family Rutaceae were selected. In terms of dosage， through the textual research on bowls in the Ming and Qing dynasties， combined with the conversion of medicines and bowl capacity in the Qing dynasty， it was estimated that the dosage of each drug in the Yuan dynasty was 10.86 g. In the Ming and Qing dynasties， the dosage of drugs was mostly equal， but the dosage of drugs was somewhat different. In terms of processing， preparation method， and usage， in the medical books of the past dynasties， the processing of drugs has slightly changed， but raw drugs are used in all preparations. The preparation method and usage did not change much during the Yuan， Ming， and Qing dynasties， except for certain differences in dosage. In terms of syndrome， Liumotang was first used to treat abdominal pain due to Qi stagnation and constipation accompanied by heat. Medical books of the past dynasties often omit the symptoms of heat. In modern clinical practice， Liumotang is mainly used in the digestive system and urinary system diseases and is mostly used to treat constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome， biliary reflux gastritis， functional constipation， slow transit constipation， and other diseases， with no adverse reactions found yet. The above results provide a reliable scientific basis for the development and clinical treatment of Liumotang compound preparations.

ObjectiveTo compare the protective effects of water extracts from fresh and dried Dendrobium huoshanense on gastric mucosa in chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG）. MethodsMale SD rats （n=72） were randomly divided into 9 groups， with 8 rats in each group， which were normal group， model group， Yangwei Shu （4 g·kg^-1） group， low-， medium-， and high-dose fresh D. huoshanense （3.5， 7， and 14 g·kg^-1） groups， and low-， medium-， and high-dose dried D. huoshanense （0.7， 1.4， 2.8 g·kg^-1） groups. The CAG rat model was successfully established by inducing with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG） and other factors for a total of 11 weeks. Then， the rats were intervened with fresh and dried D. huoshanense for 4 weeks. The serum and gastric tissues of the rats were collected. The changes in gastric juice secretion volume and gastric acid pH value in each group were observed. The gastric mucosal injury was observed by naked eyes and hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining. The gastric mucus secretion level was determined by Alcian blue and periodic acid-Schiff staining（AB-PAS） staining. The expression levels of tight junction proteins Occludin and ZO-1 in gastric tissues were determined by immunofluorescence. The expression levels of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ （PG Ⅰ）， pepsinogen Ⅱ （PG Ⅱ）， gastrin 17 （G-17）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression levels of aquaporin 1 （AQP1）， aquaporin 3 （AQP3）， and aquaporin 4 （AQP4） in gastric tissues were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed an obviously reduced gastric juice secretion volume （P0.05）， significantly increased gastric acid pH value （P0.01）， gastric mucosa with obvious atrophy， and a significantly reduced gastric mucus secretion volume （P0.01）.

Moreover， the dried D. huoshanense has a better effect.

Objective: To analyze the changes in classroom lighting environment of schools in Suzhou and their impact on refractive progression among primary and secondary school students, so as to provide the basis for accurate provention and control of myopia. Methods: A baseline investigation was conducted in October 2022 by using a stratified cluster random sampling method to recruit primary and secondary school students from Suzhou. A follow up visit was performed in October 2023. A total of 12 302 students and 360 classrooms that participated in both surveys were included analysis. The visual acuity progression over one year and classroom lighting conditions were assessed. Group comparisons were performed by using the Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum, and Chi-square tests. Multivariate Logistic regression was employed to identify the major factors influencing refractive changes. Results: The compliance rate of average illuminance on classroom blackboard surface increased from 72.22% to 75.28%, while the compliance rate of average illuminance on desks decreased from 89.44% to 87.22%, the overall myopia rate among students rose from 59.63% to 66.99% from 2022 to 2023. The average annual progression of equivalent spherical power(SE) in the right eye of students was -0.25(-0.75,0.06)D. Significant statistical differences were observed in the annual mean changes across different school levels, regions, baseline refractive statuses, and classroom lighting environment change groups ( Z/H =316.59, -8.27, 38.80 , 51.01, all P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pre myopia, low myopia, junior high school, senior high school, vocational high school, and improved classroom lighting environment were protective factors of reducing the risk of rapid progression in refractive error ( OR =0.58, 0.69, 0.81, 0.50, 0.28, 0.82, all P <0.05). Conversely, female students and rural students had higher risks of rapid myopia progression ( OR =1.09, 1.42, both P <0.05). Conclusions Over one year follow up, the complance rate of classroom lighting indicators in Suzhou remaines stable, while students refractive status shows a trend toward myopia. Improving classroom lighting environment can reduce the risk of rapid myopia progression.

Bluetongue virus is an arbovirus that seriously harms ruminants such as sheep,this study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of bluetongue virus infection and host cell interferon antiviral immune response.The study was conducted to characterize the mRNA expression of inter-feron pathway genes by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,as well as Western blot analysis of MDA5,TRAF3,RIG-Ⅰ,and TBK1 protein expression in BHK-21 cells induced by BTV with a multiplicity of infections(MOI)of 1 for 18,24,and 36 h.The results showed that the most pro-nounced changes in the expression of interferon signaling pathway genes were observed at 24 h of induction,the gene mRNA expression levels of the IFN-α,IFN-β,RIG-Ⅰ,TBK1,MDA5,VISA,and TRAF3 genes were upregulated.However,the mRNA expression levels of IKKε and TRAF6 genes were downregulated.At the protein level,MDA5 and TBK1 proteins were upregulated while RIG-1 and TRAF3 proteins were downregulated,which showed that BTV infection induces a typeⅠ interferon immune response in BHK-21 cells.This study lays the foundation for further exploring the antiviral immunity mechanism of IFN-Ⅰ signaling pathway regulatory genes in host cells infected with BTV infection.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for postoperative fever in patients with negative preoperative urine culture undergoing flexible ureteroscopy (fURS), and construct a nomogram prediction model to predict the risk of postoperative fever.Methods:The clinical data of 308 patients who underwent flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to March2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, there were 235 males and 73 females, with an average age of (46.4±12.1) years old. Additionally, 86 cases had concomitant hypertension, 41 cases had diabetes, and 12 cases had coronary heart disease. A history of urinary stone surgery was present in 57 cases, and 91 cases exhibited severe hydronephrosis. The distribution of stones included 164 cases on the left side and 144 cases on the right side, with 88 cases of renal stones, 124 cases of ureteral stones, and 96 cases of renal-ureteral stones. Among them, 243 cases had ≤2 stones, while 65 cases had >2 stones, with a maximum stone diameter of 12.0 (9.0, 15.0) mm. Urine leukocyte-positive cases were 109, and urine leukocyte-negative cases were 199. Two cases were positive for nitrite, and 308 cases were negative. The occurrence of postoperative fever within 48 hours was recorded, and differences between the fever and non-fever groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for post-fURS fever. A nomogram prediction model based on independent risk factors was constructed, and internal validation was conducted using 1 000 bootstrap resamples. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC). Model stability was assessed using calibration curves.Results:The surgeries for all 308 cases were successfully completed with a median operative time of 60.0 (40.0, 75.0) minutes. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 221 cases. Among them, 14 cases (4.5%) experienced postoperative fever, while 294 cases did not. The fever group had a higher proportion of females [57.1% (8/14) vs. 22.1% (65/294), P=0.007], more cases with comorbid diabetes [50.0% (7/14) vs. 11.6% (34/294), P<0.001], a higher proportion of renal stones [64.3% (9/14) vs. 26.9% (79/294), P=0.022], a lower intraoperative stone clearance rate [42.9% (6/14) vs. 73.1% (215/294), P=0.031], larger stone diameter [15.5 (12.5, 19.3) mm vs. 11.0 (9.0, 15.0) mm, P=0.004], longer operative time [87.5 (58.8, 106.3) min vs. 55.0 (40.0, 75.0) min, P<0.001], higher platelet count [267.0 (225.8, 354.0) ×10 9/L vs. 233.0 (197.8, 272.0) ×10 9/L, P=0.026], lower creatinine levels [67.5 (52.5, 72.3) umol/L vs. 73.0 (62.0, 84.0) umol/L, P=0.026], and a higher platelet lymphocyte ratio [148.8 (118.3, 189.3) vs. 119.5 (93.2, 156.0), P=0.030]. Results of univariate analysis showed that female gender, diabetes, stone location, incomplete stone clearance, maximum stone diameter, operative time, platelet count, creatinine, platelet lymphocyte ratio, and positive nitrite in urine (all P<0.05)were risk factors for postoperative fever. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that female gender ( OR=11.073, 95% CI 1.623-75.521, P=0.014), diabetes ( OR=5.995, 95% CI 1.441-24.952, P=0.014), and operative time ( OR=1.024, 95% CI 1.003-1.046, P=0.024) were independent risk factors for post-fURS fever. The nomogram exhibited excellent predictive performance (AUC=0.866, 95% CI 0.781-0.935), and the calibration curve demonstrated good consistency. Conclusions:Female gender, longer operative time, and diabetes are risk factors for post-fURS fever in patients with preoperative negative urine culture. The nomogram demonstrates excellent predictive performance.

Objective:To explore the role of ductular reaction in assessing the efficacy of liver transplantation.Method:From January 2015 to December 2020, he relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 100 recipients and their corresponding donors at Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital. They were assigned into two groups of hepatic steatosis (HS group, 65 cases) and non-hepatic steatosis (non-HS group, 35 cases) according to whether or not receiving steatosis donated liver. Furthermore, based upon the occurrence of early allograft dysfunction (EAD), the participants were categorized into two groups of EAD (33 cases) and non-EAD (67 cases). The degree of bile duct reaction ductular reaction was defined by the percentage of staining area occupied by cytokeratin 19 (CK19) -positive bile duct cells in immunohistochemical-stained specimens. Donor of ductular reaction were compared between HS/non-HS and EAD/non-EAD groups. The risk factors for EAD were identified by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Subgroup analysis was conducted based upon the level of ductular reaction (DR number) in donors (DR=0.4 as a threshold) and whether or not donors exhibited steatosis. The impact of DR was examined on the incidence of EAD and survival post-liver transplantation in steatosis donors.Result:The level of DR was higher in steatosis donor than that in non-steatosis donor [ (0.59%±0.385%) vs. (0.32%±0.194%), P<0.01]. And it was higher in EAD group than that in non-EAD group [ (0.72%±0.449%) vs. (0.38%±0.226%), P<0.01]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a high level of ductular reaction was an independent risk factor for EAD post-liver transplantation in donor. Subgroup analysis revealed that receiving a steatosis donor with low ductular reaction (DR<0.4%) had comparable levels of EAD occurrence and overall survival rate to receiving a non-steatosis donor. Conclusion:Steatosis with low ductular reaction donor may be safely applied for liver transplantation. And assessing donor injury based upon ductular reaction can effectively expand the clinical application of steatosis donors.

Currently, the application rate of virtual reality technology in the fields of medical education and medical treatment is relatively low. In this study, based on the structure of the human stomach, virtual reality technology, sensing technology, big data technology, and cloud computing technology were integrated. A new form of medical education was established to include the online website platform for data storage and analysis and the offline VR glasses for the physical operation. Through the use of 3d Max technology, Unity3D technology, and C# language, we constructed a three-dimensional model of the human stomach to present the stomach in three dimensions. This enables the users to immerse in it to achieve true human-computer interactive learning. This study updates the concept of medical education, effectively improves the quality and efficiency of medical education, and facilitates the development of surgical programs and reduction in the risk of surgery, as well as provides experimental materials for scientific research. In the future, it can be further developed to include the three-dimensional structures of the circulatory system and other major systems in the human body.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
