Objective:To investigate the impact of plasmapheresis therapy on the clinical efficacy in predicted severe hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) patients.Methods:The clinical data of 500 HTG-AP patients admitted to 36 medical centers across China in the Chinese Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Trials Group-PERFORM database from November 2020 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Besides the inclusion and exclusion criteria from PERFORM study, patients who had acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score ≥8 or CRP>150 mg/L on admission were included in the final analyses ( n=189). Patients were categorized into the plasmapheresis group ( n=51) and the routine treatment group ( n=138) according to the triglyceride-lowering therapies they received. General data, laboratory findings, AP severity, and clinical outcomes were recorded. Results:Patients undergoing plasmapheresis had higher initial triglyceride levels, APACHEⅡ score, SOFA score, and more organ failure than those receiving routine medical treatment. Results of multivariable logistic regression models showed that the plasmapheresis group, as compared to the routine treatment group, was neither associated with decreased risk of persistent organ failure within 14 days [54.9% (28/51) vs 37.7% (52/138), OR=0.89, 95% CI 0.36-2.21, P=0.810], nor with reduced incidence of organ failure on day 7 [17.7% (9/51) vs 15.9% (22/138), OR=0.60, 95% CI 0.19-1.88, P=0.378]. There was no significant difference on the dynamic changes of serum triglyceride within the first three days of admission ( P=0.108). Conclusions:Early plasmapheresis is not associated with reduced incidence of persistent organ failure in predicted severe HTG-AP patients.

Clinical teaching managers are the designers, implementers, and supervisors of clinical medical education. Their competence level directly affects the quality of hospital teaching management and clinical medical education. The competence evaluation systems for medical education managers in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are well-established, which provides a reference for the competence evaluation of clinical teaching managers in China. This research systematically reviews the construction process and current situation of the competence evaluation systems for medical education managers in the world, and summarizes the basis, methods, and dimensions of competence evaluation. According to the actual situation of clinical teaching management, suggestions were put forward, including developing systematic scientific evaluation tools, carrying out competence-oriented training and assessment, focusing on student-centered education, and creating a career path of sustainable development.

Objective To systematically explore the prescription source,prescription composition,drug origin and processing,functional indications and clinical application of the classic Tibetan medicine Sanwei Qiangwei Powder,so as to provide scientific basis for its in-depth development,rational utilization and follow-up research.Methods By using methods of literature review,the ancient and modern Tibetan medical classics and modern literature such as'Ocha Jinmai' sporadic secret collection 'Zhigong Yi Suan Ji' were retrieved,and the prescription origin,medicinal material origin,processing technology,prescription solution,usage and dosage were studied and analyzed.Results The Sanwei Qiangwei Powder originated from the 'Ocha Jinmai'(《()》)written by Qiangba Minimatongwatundan in the 15th century.The book was written much earlier than the literature included in the 'Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions(Second Batch)'-the 'Selection of Tibetan Medicine Prescriptions·Longevity Baoru' in the 19th century.The prescription consists of 15 copies of Rosa rugosa,7 copies of Herpetospermum caudigerum,and 3 copies of Terminalia chebula Retz.It plays a significant effect on hepatobiliary diseases such as biliary fever,liver fever,primary headache,and headache after drinking in clinical practice.It is the core prescription for the treatment of Chiba-type diseases and has high development value.There are differences in the use site,dosage ratio,usage and dosage of medicinal materials in different literatures,and the dosage has been clarified by textual research and expert consultation.Conclusion This study sorted out and clarified the key information of Sanwei Qiangwei Powder,which laid a theoretical foundation for the inheritance and development,innovative application and modernization research of the prescription.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of compound Kuijie Ankang Decoction on ulcerative colitis (UC) model mice by non targeted metabonomics; To explore its mechanism.Compound Kuijie Ankang.Methods:The mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, Kuijie Ankang Decoction group and sulfasalazine group, with 12 mice in each group. Except the blank control group, the other groups were given 1.5% DSS solution for free drinking to prepare UC model. After successful modeling, Kuijie Ankang Decoction group was intragastrically administered with compound Kuijie Ankang Decoction of 9.68 g/kg, sulfasalazine group was intragastrically administered with sulfasalazine capsule suspension of 320 mg/kg, model group and blank control group were intragastrically administered with equal volume of purified water, once a day, for 7 consecutive days. The body mass and disease activity index (DAI) score of mice were measured. ELISA was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the colon tissue of mice; the protein expressions of Claudin-1 and Zo-1 in colon tissue were detected by immunofluorescence method. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the colon, and UHPLC-OE-MS technology was used to analyze the endogenous metabolite structure of mouse colon tissue, differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways were screened.Results:Compared with the model group, the colon length in Kuijie Ankang Decoction group and sulfasalazine group increased ( P<0.01), the DAI score decreased ( P<0.01), the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in colon tissue decreased ( P<0.01), the level of IL-10 increased ( P<0.01), and the average optical density of Claudin-1 and Zo-1 protein increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Metabolomics analysis identified 26 potential differential metabolites, including nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, guanine, gamma aminobutyric acid, and thiamine, affecting 26 key metabolic pathways, including lysine biosynthesis, thiamine metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism. Conclusion:Kuaijie Ankang Decoction may improve metabolites such as Gamma aminobutyric acid and thiamine through metabolic pathways such as lysine biosynthesis to alleviate inflammatory reactions, thereby exerting therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis in mice.

Traumatic brain injury(TBI)is caused by the direct or indirect effects of external factors that result in structural or functional loss of brain tissue.Astrocytes are homeostatic cells in the central nervous system that proliferate and activate rapidly in the early stages of TBI.They then participate in a series of pathological processes,such as neuroinflammation,blood-brain barrier disruption,glial scarring,and excitotoxicity after injury,and thus play a crucial role in secondary neurological injury following TBI.This paper reviews the role of astrocytes in the repair of TBI damage,with the aim of providing new strategies for the prevention and treatment of TBI.
