Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of combining Omalizumab with compound glycyrrhetinic acid glycoside in the management of chronic urticaria that exhibits poor response to antihistamine therapy.Methods 92 patients with chronic urticaria who were treated with H1 antihistamines and still had symp-toms from February 2022 to February 2024 in the hospital were selected as the study subjects.The study partici-pants were randomly assigned to either the observation group,consisting of 46 cases,or the control group,also comprising 46 cases,using a random number table method.The control group received subcutaneous injection of omalizumab for treatment.The observation group was treated with oral compound glycyrrhizin tablets on the basis of the control group.After 24 weeks of treatment,compare the efficacy,adverse reactions,Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days(UAS7),Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI),Immunoglobulin(Ig)E,and High Sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs CRP)between the two groups,and record the recurrence rate.Results After treatment,the UAS7,DLQI,IgE and hs-CRP of both groups of patients decreased compared to before treatment,and the observation group demonstrated lower results compared to the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the overall effectiveness rate in the observation group exceeded that of the control group(P<0.05),and the recurrence rate was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups of drugs(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of omali-zumab and compound glycyrrhetinic acid glycoside in the treatment of chronic urticaria patients with low response to antihistamines helps reduce IgE expression,improve treatment effectiveness,lower recurrence rates,and does not increase adverse drug reactions.

Myasthenia gravis(MG)is an autoimmune disease characterized primarily by skeletal muscle weakness and,in severe cases,respiratory involvement.Western medical treatment predominantly relies on immunosuppressants,but long-term administration often leads to notable side effects.In contrast,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)offers the advantage of multi-target interventions.However,the pathogenesis of MG has not been fully elucidated,and the establishment of animal models that accurately reflect the clinical characteristics of both Chinese and Western medicine is essential for mechanism research and new drug development.This paper systematically reviews the etiology and pathogenesis,diagnostic criteria,and progress of animal model research for MG from both Chinese and Western medicine perspectives.In Western medicine,the pathogenesis of MG is closely related to genetic susceptibility,environmental factors,and autoantibody-mediated postsynaptic membrane damage.In TCM,MG is classified under the category of"flaccidity syndrome",attributed to congenital deficiencies and acquired malnourishment.Western diagnostic criteria involve a combination of clinical symptoms,fatigue testing,serum antibody assays,and electrophysiological evaluation.In contrast,TCM diagnosis emphasizes the integration of primary and secondary symptoms with tongue and pulse pattern differentiation.Currently available animal models mainly include experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis(EAMG)and passive transfer myasthenia gravis(PTMG).The Toredo acetylcholine receptor(AChR)induced EAMG model aligns well with Western diagnostic criteria,but poorly matches secondary symptoms in TCM.The synthetic AChR peptide model is widely used,but shows low conformity with TCM syndromes.Models induced by muscle-specific tyrosine kinase(MuSK),low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4(LRP4),and transgenic models demonstrate high innovation but exhibit low clinical conformity.Evaluation of these models requires integration of behavioral,electrophysiological,and immunological indicators.However,a systematic framework for modelling TCM syndromes is still lacking.Future research should integrate TCM-based etiological modelling methods with the Western pathological mechanisms to construct disease-syndrome combination models.Additionally,it is crucial to establish a TCM syndrome evaluation system based on"validation by prescription",as well as to improve the scientific rigor and practicality of animal models by the incorporation of emerging technologies.This review provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing MG animal model design,advancing the research on the combination of Chinese and Western medicine,and supporting efficacy assessment and mechanism exploration of Chinese herbal prescriptions.

Objective:To juxtapose laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with common bile duct exploration and stone extraction (LC+ LCBDE) against endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography/sphincterotomy with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC+ ERCP/EST) in the therapeutic context of acute biliary pancreatitis.Methods:The clinical data of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Datong Third People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 44 patients were inrolled, including 23 males and 21 females, with the age of (60.6±11.7) years. Based on different treatment approaches, the patients were divided into the LC+ LCBDE group ( n=33) and the LC+ ERCP group ( n=11, LC+ ERCP/EST). Total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood amylase, operation time, postoperative hospitalization stays, total hospitalization cost, postoperative anal exhaust time, and postoperative complications (bile leakage, fever, bleeding) were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in preoperative total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, and blood amylase between LC+ ERCP group and LC+ LCBDE groups (all P>0.05). In LC+ LCBDE group, operation time was 110.0 (96.3, 147.5) min, postoperative hospitalization time was 9.0 (7.5, 11.0) d, postoperative exhaust time was 2.0 (1.0, 2.0) d, and in LC+ LCBDE group, operation time was 60.0 (32.0, 65.0) min, postoperative hospitalization time was 7.0 (4.0, 8.0) d, postoperative exhaust time was 1.0 (1.0, 1.0) d. Comparisons with LC+ LCBDE group, LC+ ERCP group had shorter postoperative hospitalization stay and earlier postoperative exhaust time, the total hospitalization cost of LC+ LCBDE group was 23 829.3 (21 779.6, 27 221.9) yuan, which was higher than 36 894.8 (31 963.5, 41 172.2) yuan in LC+ ERCP group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Comparison of postoperative total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT and AST between LC+ ERCP group and LC+ LCBDE group, with no significant difference(all P>0.05). No postoperative complications such as bile leakage, residual stones, fever and bleeding occurred in both groups. Conclusion:Compared with LC+ ERCP/EST, LC+ LCBDE in the treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis, although the operation time and hospital stay are longer, but the total hospitalization cost is less, there is no need for multiple operations, and it can be used as the first choice for acute biliary pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND:Kinesio taping has been widely used as a means of sports protection,but its role as a means to correct abnormal biomechanical changes of the lower limbs during side-step cutting remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To analyze and compare the changes in lower limb kinematics and dynamics when the subjects complete the side-step cutting of the knee joint under the conditions of kinesio taping,placebo taping and blank control. METHODS:Thirty-nine male college students majoring in basketball were recruited as subjects.Each subject was tested with kinesio taping,placebo taping or no taping.The mechanical correction method was used to patch the dominant knee joint of each subject.The run-up speed of 4.5-5.5 m/s was selected to complete the 45° side-step cutting motion,and the kinematics and kinetics data were collected synchronously by the three-dimensional dynamic capture system and the force measuring platform.The kinematics and kinetics parameters at the moment of initial touchdown and peak ground reaction force were selected for data analysis.SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the test data. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Kinematic indexes:compared with no taping and placebo taping,the hip abduction and knee valgus angles at the initial touchdown moment were significantly decreased when kinesio taping was used(P<0.05);at the moment of peak lateral ground reaction force,the angles of hip abduction,knee valgus and ankle plantar flexion decreased significantly(P<0.05),and the knee flexion angle was significantly increased(P<0.05).Kinetic indexes:Compared with no taping,both kinesio taping and placebo taping significantly reduced hip abduction and external rotation torque,knee valgus and external rotation torque at the moment of initial touchdown(P<0.05),and significantly reduced peak vertical ground reaction force and peak horizontal backward ground reaction force(P<0.05);in addition,kinesio taping significantly reduced peak lateral ground reaction force compared with no taping and placebo taping(P<0.05).These results indicate that kinesio taping of the knee joint may improve some kinematic and kinetic indexes associated with lower limb injury risk factors during the completion of the side-step cutting in basketball specialized college students to some extent,and may have a positive effect on the prevention of injury during the side-step cutting.In addition,the trends in the effects of placebo taping and kinesio taping on the knee joint are more consistent in terms of changes in some indexes,suggesting that there may be a placebo effect on the mechanism of action of kinesio taping.
