Objective To introduce the causes of accidents and the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with radiation-induced skin injury admitted to our hospital in 2023, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of subsequent radiation-induced skin injury. Methods The clinical treatment process of two patients with acute skin injury caused by external radiation exposure were summarized and analyzed. Results The exposure history of the two patients was reconstructed, the flaw detection scenario was simulated, the biological dose and hand skin exposure dose were estimated, and the infrared thermal imaging device was used for dynamic monitoring. A comprehensive analysis was conducted based on clinical manifestations and other data. The diagnosis of “Xie” was excessive exposure combined with acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade IV for the right hand palm, index finger, and middle finger and Grade II for the left hand little finger). The diagnosis of “Hao” was acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade I). The two patients received different clinical treatment measures: “Xie” was treated with both local and systemic therapies, while “Hao” was mainly treated with systemic therapy. Conclusion After systematic and effective treatment, the radiation-induced skin injuries healed in both patients.

Metformin has been demonstrated to attenuate hyperglycaemia by modulating the gut microbiota. However, the mechanisms through which the microbiome mediates metformin monotherapy failure (MMF) are unclear. Herein, in a prospective clinical cohort study of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated with metformin monotherapy, metagenomic sequencing of faecal samples revealed that Phocaeicola vulgatus abundance was approximately 12 times higher in nonresponders than in responders. P. vulgatus rapidly hydrolysed taurine-conjugated bile acids, leading to ceramide accumulation and reversing the improvements in glucose intolerance conferred by metformin in high-fat diet-fed mice. Interestingly, C22:0 ceramide bound to mitochondrial fission factor to induce mitochondrial fragmentation and impair hepatic oxidative phosphorylation in P. vulgatus-colonized hyperglycaemic mice, which could be exacerbated by metformin. This work suggests that metformin may be unsuitable for P. vulgatus-rich T2DM patients and that clinicians should be aware of metformin toxicity to mitochondria. Suppressing P. vulgatus growth with cefaclor or improving mitochondrial function using adenosylcobalamin may represent simple, safe, effective therapeutic strategies for addressing MMF.

ObjectiveTo understand the current drug resistance status and bacterial multilocus sequence typing （MLST） of human and avian Campylobacter jejuni in Jinshan District， Shanghai. MethodsFecal samples were collected from diarrhea patients in the annuity mountainous area from 2021 to 2022， and poultry and related samples were collected from 2 poultry farms in the Jinshan area for detection of C. jejuni. Minimal inhibitory concentration （MIC） drug sensitivity test was performed on the detected C. jejuni， and some strains were selected for whole genome sequencing and MLST analysis. ResultsA total of 823 samples of diarrhea disease were collected， and 32 strains of C. jejuni were detected， with a detection rate of 3.89%. Out of 600 poultry related samples， 62 strains of C. jejuni were detected， with a detection rate of 10.33%. Human multidrug resistance reached 93.75% （30/32）， while avian multidrug resistance reached 100.00%（62/62）. The top four drug resistance rates of human and avian C. jejuni were azithromycin （100.00% from humans and 100.00% from birds）， naphthoic acid （93.75% from humans and 87.10% from birds）， ciprofloxacin （90.63% from humans and 98.39% from birds）， and tetracycline （84.38% from humans and 98.39% from birds）. The relatively low resistance strains of human derived C. were erythromycin， chloramphenicol， and thalithromycin. The relatively low resistance strains of avian C. jejuni were erythromycin， clindamycin， and flufenicol. MLST analysis showed that the selected 16 strains of bacteria were divided into 9 ST types， among which the evolutionary relationship of avian C. jejuni was relatively concentrated， while human C. jejuni was relatively dispersed. It was found that one strain of avian C. jejuni was closely related to two strains of human C. jejuni. ConclusionsC. jejuni infection is severe in patients with diarrhea in this region， with a detection rate second only to salmonella and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. C. jejuni infection in poultry is relatively common， and both are highly resistant. Therefore， monitoring and control should be strengthened. MLST analysis shows new ST types in both avian and human sources of C. jejuni， indicating the emergence of new mutations that require continuous monitoring to avoid the epidemics caused by new strains. The isolated strains with close genetic relationships between avian and human sources reveal the evidence of the spread of C. jejuni from poultry to humans. Therefore it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of C. jejuni in relevant samples from breeding farms.

BACKGROUND:Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant extracted from plants.Its mechanism of improving exercise-induced fatigue mainly focuses on the protective effect against oxidative stress and inflammation.In this study,the protective mechanism of resveratrol on exercise-induced fatigue was mainly discussed from the perspective of gluconeogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of resveratrol on gluconeogenesis in exercise-induced fatigue rats. METHODS:After 1 week of adaptive training,male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 12 rats in each group:blank control group,resveratrol group,exercise group,resveratrol + exercise group.Weight-bearing swimming training was used to simulate long-term medium-high intensity exercise.After swimming with a weight of 5%for 1 hour every day,50 mg/kg resveratrol solution or the same volume of dimethyl sulfoxide solvent were given orally,6 days a week,for a total of 6 weeks.Samples were collected 24 hours after the last exercise,and the levels of urea nitrogen,creatine kinase,blood glucose,liver glycogen and lactic acid and pyruvate in liver tissue were detected by the kit.The activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was detected by microassay,and the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the gene expression of silent information regulator 1,cAMP-response element binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the exercise group,plasma urea nitrogen and creatine kinase levels of rats were significantly increased(both P<0.05),liver lactate and pyruvate levels and lactate/pyruvate ratio were significantly increased(all P<0.01),and blood glucose and liver glycogen contents were significantly decreased(both P<0.01).Resveratrol supplementation could effectively improve the above conditions.Exercise significantly decreased the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase(P<0.01,P<0.05),and resveratrol supplementation significantly increased the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in liver tissue(P<0.01).The mRNA expression levels of silent information regulator 1,cAMP-response element binding protein and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α in liver tissue of the exercise group were significantly decreased(all P<0.01),while resveratrol supplementation could significantly increase the gene expression levels of this pathway.To conclude,resveratrol can relieve exercise-induced fatigue caused by long-term medium-high intensity exercise,and its mechanism may be related to up-regulating the gluconeogenesis regulatory pathway,improving rate-limiting enzyme activity,promoting liver gluconeogenesis,and increasing blood glucose and liver glycogen levels.

Objective:To compare the patient-reported outcomes and short-term clinical outcomes between robotic-assisted and laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer.Methods:This single-center prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 2020 to August 2022. Patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who were to undergo radical gastrectomy were selected and randomly divided into two groups according to 1∶1, and received robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery, respectively. Patient-reported outcomes and short-term clinical outcomes (including postoperative complications, surgical quality and postoperative short-term recovery) were compared between the two groups by independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated ANOVA, generalized estimating equation, χ2 test and Fisher′s exact test. Results:A total of 237 patients were enrolled for modified intention-to-treat analysis (120 patients in the robotic group, 117 patients in the laparoscopic group). There were 180 males and 59 females, aged (63.0±10.2) years (range: 30 to 85 years). The incidence of postoperative complications was similar between the robotic group and laparoscopic group (16.7% (20/120) vs. 15.4% (18/117), χ2=0.072, P=0.788). The robotic group had higher patient-reported outcomes scores in general health status, emotional, and social domains compared to the laparoscopic group, differences in time effect, intervention effect, and interaction effect were statistically significant (general health status: χ2 value were 275.68, 3.91, 6.38, P value were <0.01, 0.048, 0.041; emotional: χ2 value were 77.79, 6.04, 6.15, P value were <0.01, 0.014, 0.046; social: χ2 value were 148.00, 7.57, 5.98, P value were <0.01, 0.006, 0.048). However, the financial burden of the robotic group was higher, the differences in time effect, intervention effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( χ2 value were 156.24, 4.08, 36.56, P value were <0.01, 0.043,<0.01). Conclusion:Compared to the laparoscopic group, the robotic group could more effectively relieve postoperative negative emotions and improve recovery of social function in patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of tenofovir amibufenamide in patients over 65 years old with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis.Methods:We recruited 45 patients in Linyi People's Hospital with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis who were treated with TMF antiviral therapy for 48 weeks, compared the virologic response rate and HBV DNA decrease level at 12, 24 and 48 weeks, and the changes in hepatitis B surface antigen, alanine aminotransferase, glomerular filtration rate, creatinine, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum phosphorus and blood lipids, and the changes in ALT normalization rate at 48 weeks. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:The age of the enrolled patients was 69.0 (67.0, 72.5) years. At 12, 24, and 48 weeks of treatment, the complete virological response rates were 32.4% (12/37), 70.0% (28/40), and 84.6% (33/39) respectively, and the level of HBV DNA decreased from baseline ( P＜0.05). After 48 weeks of treatment, the level of HBsAg decreased ( P<0.05), and there was no negative HBsAg conversion and seroconversion. After 48 weeks of treatment, the level of ALT decreased ( P<0.05). At 48 weeks of treatment, the rates of ALT reverted to normality were 88.9% (16/18) and 70.4% (19/27), respectively. There was no significant difference in the levels of glomerular filtration rate, creatinine, phosphorus, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol estimated at baseline before and after treatment ( P＞0.05), and no serious adverse events were observed. Conclusions:For patients over 65 years old with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis, TMF can significantly inhibit HBV DNA replication, and the ALT normalization rate is high and well tolerated.

In recent years， enhanced recovery after surgery （ERAS） has been widely used in clinical practice， aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma， stress reactions， and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration. This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities， reviewed its development and characteristics， and first pointed out that the concept of “minimal harm” laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS. However， the concept of “minimum harm” faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice， such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm， the tension between generalization and personalization， and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care. This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences， proposed “optimal care” as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS， and introduced its connotation and practice. The combination of “minimal harm” and “optimal care” can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.
