ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanisms of the Bawei Chenxiang Wan (BCW) against myocardial ischemic injury. MethodsMyocardial ischemia in vivo was induced in rats by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol (ISO), and ex vivo ischemia was established by coronary artery ligation in isolated rat hearts. The effects of BCW, alcohol extracts and its polar extracts were evaluated on ST segment on electrocardiogram (ECG), myocardial damage, hemodynamic parameters, and infarct size. The phosphorylation level of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), the expression of cuproptosis-related proteins, and the content of Cu²⁺ in myocardial tissue were detected. The regulatory relationship of the signaling pathway was verified using an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) myocardial cell injury model, combined with PI3K agonists and inhibitors. ResultsBCW ameliorated ST-segment elevation on electrocardiograms(P<0.01), reduced serum levels of myocardial injury markers, improved hemodynamic parameters, upregulated PI3K phosphorylation(P<0.01), and decreased Cu²⁺ accumulation in rats with myocardial ischemia(P<0.01). Moreover, BCW reduced the myocardial infarct size. In the isolated rat heart model of ischemia, both the ethanol extract and various solvent fractions of BCW exerted protective effects and reduced Cu²⁺ content, among which the n-butanol fraction exhibited the most potent activity(P<0.01). Specifically, the n-butanol fraction upregulated PI3K phosphorylation(P<0.01) and downregulated the expression of cuproptosis-related proteins, including ferredoxin reductase 1(FDX1)(P<0.05), lipoic acid synthetase(LIAS), and dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase(DLAT) oligomerization(P<0.05). In the OGD-induced cardiomyocyte injury model, treatment with a PI3K agonist inhibited DLAT oligomerization(P<0.05), whereas co-administration of a PI3K inhibitor attenuated the inhibitory effect of the n-butanol fraction on DLAT oligomer formation(P<0.05). ConclusionThe n-butanol fraction of BCW exerts a significant protective effect against myocardial ischemic injury, and its mechanism may involve activation of the PI3K and inhibition of cuproptosis.

Objective:
To study the difference expression and diagnostic value of ribosomal protein L5 (RPL5) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) of children and adults.
Methods:
Realtime-PCR was performed to detect the expression of RPL5 in 22 PTC tissues and 13 pericarcinous tissues. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Youden's index were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of RPL5 in PTC of children and adults.
Results:
The expression of RPL5 in PTC tissues was higher than in pericarcinous tissues. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.820 (

Objective To analyze the complications of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery( TV-NOTES) nephrectomy, and to explore effective measures to prevent and manage those complication.Methods From May 2010 to January 2015, a total of 178 females who had been married and given birth underwent TV-NOTES nephrectomy in our center.The average age was 47 ( ranging 23 to 71 ) years and the average BMI was 23.6 ( ranging 14.7 to 31.9 ) kg/m2.Pathological diagnosis included 142 cases of non-functional kidneys, 29 cases of renal tumors ( T1 N0-1 M0 25 cases, T2 N0-1 M0 4 cases) , and 7 cases of renal tuberculosis.One hundred and sixty hybrid TV-NOTES nephrectomy procedures (simple in 132, radical in 28) and 18 pure TV-NOTES nephrectomy procedures (simple in 17, radical in 1) were performed.Intraoperative and postoperative complications were graded according to Satava and Clavien-Dindo grade classifications.The major complications and relative treatments were analyzed.Results Among the 178 TV-NOTES nephrectomy procedures, there were 40 ( 22.5%) complications occurred, including 13 (7.3%) major complications, in which there were 11 cases of intraoperative complications (6.2%),2 cases of postoperative complications (1.1%).All the complications were successfully managed using organ repair or resection, embolectomy, hemostasis, and so on.No intraoperative and postoperative deaths occurred.There was no significant difference in major complications between hybrid TV-NOTES and pure TV-NOTES nephrectomy (6.9%vs.11.1%, P=0.620).The intraoperative major complications in the early developmental stage of TV-NOTES nephrectomy were more than that of the late stage (20.0%vs.3.4%, P=0.004).There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the early and late developmental stage of TV-NOTES nephrectomy (13.3%vs.10.8%, P=0.751).Conclusions TV-NOTES nephrectomy is safe and feasible, but there are some major complications worthy of attention.Personal prevent and treatment strategy should be considered.

Objective To systematic review the clinical efficacy and safety of infliximab in treatment of severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH).Methods The electronic database of PubMed,EMbase,Web of Science,OVID and Cochrane systematic review database,CBM disc and CNKI from building the database until March 2013 were retrieved.With SAH,severe alcoholic hepatitis,infliximab and tumor necrosis factor as key words or free words.Randomized-controlled trials (RCT) on infliximab in treatment of SAH was selected and analyzed by Meta analysis.Results Two RCTs was enrolled,included 56 SAH patients.Infliximab (10 mg/kg) combined with glucocorticoids (40 mg/d) might accelerate death because of the high prevalence of serious infections.Infliximab (5 mg/kg) combined glucocorticoids (40 mg/d) had more tolerability and improved patient's Maddrey scores significantly.Conclusions Existing clinical evidence suggest that it is short of evidence for the clinical efficacy and safety of infliximab.It need guide by large sample of clinically and different doses RCT.
