Objective To explore the effect of circFAT1 on myocardial injury in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM)and the regu-latory mechanism of circFAT1 on the miR-211-5p/CCND2 axis.Methods A DCM rat model was established by injecting rats with high glucose and high fat feed combined with STZ.The rats were randomly separated into DCM,circ-NC,circFAT1,circFAT1+agomir-NC,and circFAT1+miR-211-5p agomir groups,with 20 rats in each group;rats fed regular feed were used as control.Real-time PCR was used to detect the levels of circFAT1,miR-211-5p,and CCND2in myocardial tissue and Western blotting was used to detect CCND2 expression in myocardial tissue.The levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG),total cholesterol(TC),and triglycerides(TG)of rats were recorded.Car-diac ultrasound was used to detect the cardiac function of rats.Furthermore,HE and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological morphology of myocardial tissue and TUNEL staining was used to detect myocardial apoptosis.Additionally,ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α).Double luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship among circFAT1,miR-211-5p,and CCND2.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of circFAT1 and CCND2mRNA and protein and the levels of LVEF and LVFS decreased in the DCM group(P<0.05)whereas,the levels of FBG,TC,TG,LVEDd,LVEDs,CVF,cell apoptosis rate,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-αincreased(P<0.05).Compared with the DCM group,the levels of circFAT1,CCND2mRNA and protein,LVEF,and LVFS increased in the circFAT1 group(P<0.05),whereas the levels of FBG,TC,TG,LVEDd,LVEDs,CVF,cell apoptosis rate,IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α decreased(P<0.05).Furthermore,miR-211-5p agomir reversed the protective effect of circFAT1 on DCM myocardial injury,and the expression of CCND2mRNA and protein decreased(P<0.05).Conclu-sion circFAT1 alleviates myocardial tissue damage in rats with DCM by regulating the miR-211-5p/CCND2 axis.

OBJECTIVE To establish evaluation criteria for rational drug use of atosiban in clinic， and to provide reference for rational drug use of atosiban in clinic. METHODS Based on the drug instructions of atosiban acetate injection and related guidelines， the experts of the Evaluation Group of Rational Drug Use formulated the evaluation criteria of rational drug use， including 5 primary indexes and 8 secondary indexes. The weight coefficients of secondary indexes were calculated by analytic hierarchy process （AHP）， and the use of atosiban acetate injection in 190 pregnant women from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University （referred to as “our hospital”） was evaluated retrospectively by technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution （TOPSIS）. The evaluation results were divided into three levels including reasonable， basic reasonable and unreasonable application based on the relative approach degree. RESULTS Among 190 pregnant women， 49 （25.8%） were treated with atosiban reasonably， 39 （20.5%） were treated with atosiban basic reasonably， and 102 （53.7%） were treated with atosiban unreasonably. The evaluation results obtained by AHP-TOPSIS method were consistent with the actual situation in clinic. The main problems of the unreasonably use were super indications， unreasonable usage and dosage， over the course of treatment and the lack of proper economic consideration. CONCLUSIONS The rationality evaluation criteria of atosiban’s clinical application are established by AHP-TOPSIS method； the evaluation results obtained by this method are quantifiable， scientific and reliable. The unreasonable use of atosiban is common in our hospital， and the management should be strengthened in clinical application.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and influencing factors of long-term prognosis of tuberculous meningitis(TBM), and to provide a recommendation for treatment and early intervention of TBM.Methods:Clinical data of TBM patients were retrospectively collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021. Patients who were followed-up more than one year were divided into two groups according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Risk factors associated with long-term prognosis were analyze by conditional logistic stepwise regression.Results:A total of 60 subjects were enrolled including 33 (55%) males and 27 (45%) females with age 15-79 (44.5±19.8) years. There were 30 cases (50%) complicated with encephalitis, 21 cases (35%) with miliary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was microbiologically confirmed in 22 patients (36.7%), including 5 cases (22.7%, 5/22) by acid-fast staining, 8 cases (36.4%, 8/22) by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) culture, and 20 cases (90.9%, 20/22) by molecular biology. The median follow-up period was 52(43, 66 ) months in 55 cases surviving more than one year. Among them, 40 cases (72.7%) were in favorable group (mRS 0-2) and 15 cases (27.3%) were in unfavorable group (mRS 3-6) with poor prognosis. The mortality rate was 20% (11/55). Elderly ( OR=1.06, P=0.048 ) , hyponatremia( OR=0.81, P=0.020), high protein level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ( OR=3.32, P=0.033), cerebral infarction( OR=10.50, P=0.040) and hydrocephalus( OR=8.51, P=0.049) were associated with poor prognosis in TBM patients. Conclusions:The mortality rate is high in patients with TBM. Molecular biology tests improves the sensitivity and shorten the diagnosis time of TBM. Elderly, hyponatremia, high protein level in CSF, cerebral infarction and hydrocephalus are independent risk factors of long-term survival in TBM patients.

Objective:To clarify the relationship between postoperative tumor recurrence and the type and dosage of immunosuppressants in patients undergoing liver transplantation.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients who underwent liver transplantation for liver cancer from September 2007 to January 2019 at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. According to whether there was tumor recurrence after liver transplantation, the patients were divided into the case group and the control group. The etiology, alpha-fetoprotein level, Child-Pugh score, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and cancer nodules, number of tumors, diameter of largest cancer nodule, microvascular infiltration (MVI), large vessel infiltration, Edmondson grade of tumor differentiation, postoperative immunosuppression regimen, and blood trough concentration of tacrolimus or cyclosporine were compared between the two groups. The effects of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) exposure in groups of patients on tumor recurrence were compared, and statistically significant factors were included in the Cox regression analysis. Using the BCLC staging standard of liver cancer, all the subjects were stratified, and the influence of CNI exposure on tumor recurrence was further analyzed.Results:This study included 50 patients. There were 15 patients in the case group, aged (45.8±8.2) years, with 13 males (86.7%). There were 35 patients in the control group, aged (45.4±12.0) years, 31 males (88.6%). The diameter of the largest cancer nodule in the case group was significantly larger than that in the control group [(5.9±3.0) cm vs (3.5±1.8) cm, P<0.05]. The tacrolimus exposure levels in the case group at 14 d after operation were significantly higher than the control group[(11.7±7.7)ng/ml vs (5.9±3.0)ng/ml, t=2.48], 1 month after operation [(12.2±4.5) ng/ml vs (7.8±4.3) ng/ml, t=2.82], 9 months after operation [(6.9±4.0) ng/ml to (4.7±2.0) ng/ml, t=2.21] and the area under the curve at 1 year after operation [(100.1±21.1) vs (74.4±19.2), t=3.66], all P<0.05. Survival analysis showed that the cumulative tumor-free survival rate of the CNI high-exposure group was significantly lower than that of the CNI low-exposure group (52.2% vs 85.2%, χ 2=6.52, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the largest cancer nodule diameter ( RR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.60) and high CNI exposure ( RR=4.02, 95% CI: 1.10-14.74) were independent risk factors for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation. Stratified analysis showed that of the 17 patients with BCLC stage B, 6 patients (66.7%) with high CNI exposure developed tumor recurrence, while only 1 patient (12.5%) with low CNI exposure developed tumor recurrence. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that the cumulative tumor-free survival rate of patients with CNI high-exposure was significantly lower than that of patients with CNI low-exposure (33.3% vs 87.5%, χ 2=5.74, P<0.05). Of the 8 patients with BCLC stage C, 4 patients developed tumor recurrence with CNI high-exposure (100.0%). There was no tumor recurrence in patients with low CNI exposure. The difference between groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that the cumulative tumor-free survival rate of patients with high CNI exposure was significantly lower than that of low CNI exposure (0 vs 100.0%, χ 2=6.80, P<0.05). Conclusions:Tumor recurrence after liver transplantation was not significantly related to the type of immunosuppressant used. High CNI exposure was a risk factor for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation.

At present, there are various treatment methods for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including surgical treatment, interventional treatment, and immunotherapy, and even so, the five-year survival rate of HCC patients is only 12.5%. Influencing factors for the prognosis of HCC have always been the focus of research. With the in-depth research on programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in the treatment of HCC in recent years, the role of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and soluble programmed cell death ligand 1 (sPD-L1), as the ligands of PD-1, in immune escape and their value in predicting prognosis have attracted more and more attention. This article elaborates on the current controversies, consensus, and advances in PD-L1 and sPD-L1 as immune markers in evaluating the prognosis of HCC.

Objective: To explore the application effect of mixed reality technology in the teaching of hepatobiliary surgery. Methods: A total of 120 professional postgraduates majored in surgery who had received the four-month standardized training of residents in hepatobiliary surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during 2016-2018 were selected and were equally allocated into the control group and the research group via random number table method. Students in the control group were trained with traditional surgical teaching mode and in the research group were trained with three-dimensional visualization model which was constructed by mixed reality. Students in both groups received assessment and questionnaires at the end of training. Results: Scores of theoretical examination and surgical operation assessment of students in the research group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The error rate for separating gallbladder artery and bile duct in the laparoscopic simulated system of students in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Students-teacher satisfaction degree in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Using mixed reality technology to construct a three-dimensional visualization model and to implement hepatobiliary surgery teaching enables the trainees to better master anatomical key points in the hepatobiliary system and the hepatobiliary surgical approach, with good feedback.

Objective To study the feasibility and efficacy of prevention and treatment of rethrombosis with an implantable pump of the portal veinafter liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of adult patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from Feb.1999 to Dec.2007 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The 404 orthotopic liver transplantation (LT) patients were divided into three groups:PVT patients with an implantable pump (PVT + implantable pump,n =28),PVT patients without an implantable pump (PVT,n =20),and patients without pre-existing PVT (non-PVT,n =356).The following parameters in the 3 groups of patients were compared:(1) pre-operative parameters including baseline data of the donors,recipients,and duration of graft ischemia;(2) intra-operative and postoperative parameters including operative time,red blood cell and plasma transfusion,platelet concentrate transfusion,amount of bleeding,primary graft malfunction,and durations of hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) stay;and (3) follow-up data on patency of portal vein,rethrombosis rate,stenosis and reoperation (relaparotomy or retransplantation),in-hospital mortality,and actuarial one-year survival rate.Results among the 3 groups of recipients,there were no significant differences detected in the pre-operative and intra-operative parameters.However,when compared to PVT patients without an implantable pump,PVT patients with an implantable pump showed a remarkable reduction (P ＜ 0.05) in post-operative hospital stay [(21.7 ±8.9) vs.(26.5 ± 6.1)],rethrombosis rate (7.14％ vs.30％),reoperation rate (0 vs.25％),and in-hospital mortality (3.57％ vs.25％).Conclusions Patients with pre-existing PVT had a higher risk of rethrombosis following liver transplantation which was significantly prevented and/or treated with an implantable pump.Implantable pump placement should be considered for PVT patients undergoing liver transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of anticoagulation management by physician-clinical pharmacist team for patients with valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods One hundred and seventy two patients with valvular atrial fibrillation received warfarin therapy for anticoagulation during hospitalization in Linyi People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2016, the patients continued to receive warfarin therapy for>6 months after discharge. The patients were randomly assigned in two groups:the anticoagulation management was given by physician-clinical pharmacist team in 87 cases (trial group), while the dosage of wargarin was adjusted in outpatient department by physicians alone in 85 cases (control group). The goal attainment rate of international normalized ratio (INR), the proportion of patients with a stable warfarin dose, knowledge of anticoagulants, belief of medication, medication compliance were compared between two groups. Results There were no significant differences in age, sex, body weight, smoking and drinking habits, valvular disease type, comorbidities; and the initial INR, knowledge of anticoagulants, belief of medication and medication compliance at admission between two groups (all P>0.05). The goal attainment rate of INR (52.17％vs. 41.02％,χ2=8.178, P=0.004), the proportion of patients with a stable dose of warfarin (74.71％ vs. 56.47％,χ2=6.349, P=0.012), the knowledge of anticoagulants (11.03 ± 2.25 vs. 10.08 ± 1.86, t=3.018, P=0.003), the belief of medication[(12.23 ± 2.07) vs. (11.67 ± 1.48), t=2.042, P=0.043], and the medication compliance[(7.36 ± 0.89) vs. (7.04 ± 1.10), t=2.1128, P=0.036] in the trial group were significantly higher than those in control group. Conclusion Anticoagulation management by physician - clinical pharmacist team can improve the management level of anticoagulation and the knowledge of anticoagulans, enhance the medication belief, improve the goal attainment rate of INR and the compliance rate of medication in patients with valvular atrial fibrillation.
