ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of moxibustion at Guanyuan （CV 4） in delaying skin photoaging. MethodsThirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups， namely blank group， model group， vitamin E group， and moxibustion group， with 8 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， dorsal skin of rats were exposed to ultraviolet （UV） radiation to establish a skin photoaging model. One week after modeling， the moxibustion group received moxibustion at "Guanyuan （CV 4）" once a day， five days per week； the vitamin E group received vitamin E （25 mg/kg·d） once a day by gavage， five days per week； the blank group， model group， and moxibustion group received an equivalent volume of normal saline via gavage； the intervention lasted for 7 weeks. After 7 weeks， dorsal skin tissues were collected to analyze the following indicators， such as skin tissue moisture content， histomorphological changes using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， Collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ content using ELISA. Malondialdehyde （MDA）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， hydrogen peroxide （H₂O₂）， and catalase （CAT） activity in skin tissue were dectected. Western Blot was used to determin autophagy-related proteins， including microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 （LC3）， polyubiquitin-binding protein （p62）， and autophagy-specific gene （Beclin-1）； LC3， p62， and Beclin-1 mRNA expression was detected via qRT-PCR， and autophagosome formation was observed using transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. ResultsHE staining showed that the epidermal structure in the blank group was orderly and evenly thick， while the model group exhibited uneven epidermal thickness. In the moxibustion group， the epidermis was well-structured， smooth， and uniform， with densely arranged dermal layers； the epidermis in the vitamin E group was thicker than that in the model group. Compared with the blank group， the model group exhibited decreased skin moisture content and reduced level of Collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ， reduced SOD， CAT， and GSH-Px activity in skin tissue， increased H₂O₂ and MDA activity， elevated p62 protein and mRNA expression， reduced LC3 and Beclin-1 protein and mRNA expression （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the moxibustion group showed significant improvement in all these indicators （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； whereas the vitamin E group did not show a statistically significant difference in Collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ levels （P＞0.05）. TEM results showed that， compared with the blank group， the model group had atrophic skin cells， extensive mitochondrial vacuolization， and degraded cellular structures； the moxibustion group exhibited crescent- or cup-shaped autophagosomes with a significantly increased number of autophagosomes per unit area， whereas the vitamin E group showed less improvement than the moxibustion group. ConclusionMoxibustion at "Guanyuan （CV 4）" may alleviate skin photoaging by regulating oxidative stress imba-lance， modulating cellular autophagy， and promoting collagen synthesis， thereby slowing the aging process of the skin.

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of COVID-19 infection in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). METHODS: The clinical data of MM patients who underwent AHSCT in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May 26, 2021 to December 26, 2022 were collected. The onset of COVID-19 infection, corresponding symptoms and laboratory tests were followed up in outpatient or by the means of telephone contact and online questionnaires. Related analysis was then performed. RESULTS: This study included 96 patients, and 72 cases among them were infected with COVID-19 while 24 cases were uninfected. Logistic regression analysis showed that vaccination did not significantly reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, but patients who received two doses of the vaccine had a lower risk of developing moderate and severe disease than those who did not receive or received one dose (OR =0.06, P =0.029). Patients who received daratumumab before had a higher risk of COVID-19 infection (OR =5.78, P =0.039), while those with a history of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) had the opposite effect (OR =0.31, P =0.028). The use of both drugs did not affect the severity of COVID-19 infection. CONCLUSION For MM patients undergoing AHSCT as first-line chemotherapy, COVID-19 vaccination does not significantly reduce the infection rate, but it plays a role in preventing moderate and severe cases. The application of antineoplastic drugs with different mechanisms has a certain impact on the susceptibility to the COVID-19, which should be considered comprehensively when creating treatment plans.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of atherosclerotic index of plasma(AIP)for the risk of coronary heart disease(CHD)in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 299 patients with NAFLD.Based on presence or absence of CHD,the patients were divided into NAFLD with CHD group(n=177)and NAFLD group(n=122).Clinical data were collected from both groups,and AIP was calculat-ed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors for CHD in patients with NAFLD.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to evalu-ate the predictive value of AIP for the risk of CHD in patients with NAFLD.Results The NAFLD with CHD group had a higher proportion of males,smokers,and higher levels of alanine aminotrans-ferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT),uric acid(UA),and AIP than the NAFLD group.The NAFLD with CHD group also had lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)than the NAFLD group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that males(OR=2.548,95％CI,1.402 to 4.632,P=0.002),high levels of AST(OR=1.038,95％CI,1.002 to 1.077,P=0.041),high levels of LDL-C(OR=1.811,95％CI,1.242 to 2.640,P=0.002),and high AIP(OR=16.117,95％CI,1.874 to 138.609,P=0.011)were independent risk factors for CHD in patients with NAFLD(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that AIP had an area under the curve of 0.746(95％CI,0.688 to 0.804)for pre-dicting CHD in patients with NAFLD,with a sensitivity of 76.3％and a specificity of 73.0％.Conclusion AIP is an independent influencing factor for CHD in patients with NAFLD and has certain predictive value for the risk of CHD in these patients.

Objective To investigate the application value of different doses of remifentanil combined with sevoflurane under pain threshold index(PTi)monitoring in ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods 152 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were selected from December 2023 to June 2024 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University.Patients were randomly divided into R1 group(n=38),R2 group(n=38),R3 group(n=38),and R4 group(n=38)using a random number table.On the basis of sevoflurane at 0.7 minimum alveolar concentration(MAC),patients in R1～R4 groups were combined with 0.1,0.2,0.3,and 0.4 μg/kg·min remifentanil,respectively.The changes in PTi at different time points,pre-and post-operative blood stress indicators[cortisol(Cor),norepinephrine(NE),and blood glucose(Glu)concentrations]were compared,and the incidence of intraoperative hypertension,hypotension,tachycardia,bradycardia,and postoperative nausea and vomiting were recorded.Results Compared with R1 group,PTi in R2,R3,and R4 groups decreased from the start of surgery(T3)to 5 min after extubation(T11)(P<0.05);compared with R2 group,PTi in R3 and R4 groups was lower at T3～T11(P<0.05);no statistically significant difference was found in PTi changes between R3 and R4 groups at different time points(P>0.05).Postoperative Cor,NE,and Glu concentrations showed statistically significant differences among the four groups(P<0.001),but no significant difference was found preoperatively(P>0.05).Compared with preoperative values,Cor,NE,and Glu levels significantly increased in all groups(P<0.001),with R1 group>R2 group>R4 group>R3 group.The incidence of intraoperative hypertension,hypotension,bradycardia,and tachycardia showed statistically significant differences(P<0.001),with R4>R1>R2=R3.The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting also showed statistically significant differences(P<0.001),with R1 group>R4 group>R2 group>R3 group.Conclusion Sevoflurane at 0.7 MAC combined with 0.3 μg/kg·min remifentanil provides good analgesic effects for patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy,reduces stress response,and has high safety,making it worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation in grassroots community health service centers in Guangzhou in 2022.Methods Based on the index system of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation(community health service center)in Guangzhou,MATLAB R2021a and SPSS 27 software were used to comprehensively evaluate the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation in 116 community health service centers in Guangzhou by TOPSIS method and RSR method.Results The allocation of TCM resources in 5 communities,including Xiaoguwei Street Community Health Service Center in Panyu District,Guangzhou City,Dadong Street Community Health Service Center in Yuexiu District,Guangzhou City,Fengyuan Street Community Health Service Center in Leiwan District,Guangzhou City,was evaluated as"excellent",and the allocation of TCM resources in 4 communities was rated as"poor".In addition,27,53 and 27 community health service centers were rated as"upper middle","medium"and"lower middle"respectively.Analysis of variance showed that the difference was statistically significant(F = 231.268,P<0.001).Conclusion TOPSIS method combined with RSR method can better evaluate the allocation of TCM resources in grass-roots communities:The allocation of TCM resources in grass-roots communities in Guangzhou is generally good,but there are still significant differences among different communities.In the future,health administrative departments at all levels in Guangzhou can rationally allocate resources according to the differences of different com-munities and better improve the capacity building of traditional Chinese medicine service in grassroots communities.

Objective To explore the genetic characteristics of fetuses with congenital heart diseases(CHD)diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound.Methods Data of 613 singletons with prenatal ultrasonic diagnosed CHD were retrospectively analyzed.The cardiac structural abnormalities were classified into 8 types.Whole-exome sequencing(WES)was performed for 40 fetuses since chromosomal karyotyping analysis and/or chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA)showed benign copy number variations(CNV)or variants of uncertain significance(VUS).Results Among 613 fetuses,479 fetuses underwent both chromosomal karyotyping analysis and CMA,genomic abnormalities were detected in 60 fetuses(60/479,12.53％).Among 134 fetuses underwent only CMA,genomic abnormalities were found in 4 fetuses(4/134,2.99％).According to results of chromosomal karyotyping analysis and/or CMA,abnormalities were noticed in 40 fetuses(40/568,7.04％)among 568 fetuses with isolated CHD,while in 15 fetuses(15/45,33.33％)among 45 fetuses with non-isolated CHD,respectively.Abnormality detection rate of chromosomal karyotyping analysis and/or CMA in fetuses with complex CHD(10/41,24.39％)was higher than that in fetuses with non-complex CHD(54/572,9.44％).Among complex CHD fetuses,abnormality detection rate was the highest in fetuses with conotruncal defect(CTD)combined with malformation of venous system(4/13,30.77％),while among fetuses with non-complex CHD,situs inversus viscerum had the highest detection rate(1/4,25.00％).Among 40 fetuses chromosomal karyotyping analysis and/or CMA showed benign CNV or VUS,WES indicated pathogenic CNV/likely pathogenic CNV(P/LP)in 3 fetuses,VUS in 3 fetuses and benign CNV in 34 fetuses.Conclusion Fetuses with CHD,especially extracardiac malformations had possibilities of genomic abnormalities.Fetuses with CTD combined with malformation of venous system had higher possibilities of genomic abnormalities.Compared with CMA alone,chromosomal karyotyping analysis combined with CMA was helpful for detecting genomic abnormalities.

【Objective】 To explore the feasibility of en-bloc resection of bladder tumors by flexible cystoscope combined with laparoscopic instruments through urethra and to provide reference for the clinical application of this technique. 【Methods】 Self-designed and processed transurethral single-hole PORT and Olympus electronic cystoscope were used as observation mirror; Φ1.8 mm soft grasper, tissue scissors, electric hook, and ultrasonic scalpel were used as instruments; the porcine bladder was used as a model.The PORT was placed through the urethra, and the cystoscope was inserted to observe the inner wall of the bladder and the condition of the mucosa.After the lesion site was identified in the bladder cavity, the soft grasper was inserted to pull the mucosa to be removed, which was then fixed with tension at the target position to maintain a satisfactory feild of view.The surgeon held the cystoscope in the left hand, and operated the laparoscopic instruments into the bladder cavity through the PORT with the right hand.Observing with the cystoscope and lifting and pulling the mucosa with the grasper, the surgeon simulated the cutting and pushing actions to realize the en-bloc resection of the lesioned mucosa. 【Results】 The mucosa at 4 different locations were successfully resected on 2 in vitro porcine bladder models. 【Conclusion】 The in vitro experiments show that the combination of flexible electronic cystoscope and laparoscopic instruments achieves synergistic effects in en-bloc resection of bladder tumor by transurethral single-hole laparoscope without additional iatrogenic bladder injury caused by percutaneous bladder incision.This method is feasible in the treatment of bladder tumors, and has the potential of clinical application after further optimization.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.
