ObjectiveTo investigate somatization symptoms in adolescents during frequent earthquakes in Hefei， and to explore their correlation with earthquake experiences. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was used to select 324 adolescents in Hefei as the survey objects. The self-rating scale of somatization symptoms （SSS） and the fatigue intensity scale （FIS） were used to evaluate the somatization symptoms and fatigue degree of middle school students， and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors of somatization symptoms and fatigue among middle school students. ResultsA total of 324 adolescents were included， and the overall detection rate of somatization symptoms was 6.5%， and the detection rate of moderate or above fatigue was 20.1%. The results of regression analysis showed that adolescents who were concerned about the earthquake for a longer time （≥1 h） had a higher risk of somatization symptoms （OR=5.430， 95%CI： 1.547-19.058）， and adolescents who received pre-earthquake training had a lower degree of fatigue （OR=0.535， 95%CI： 0.292-0.981） （P<0.05）. ConclusionDuring the frequent earthquakes， adolescents have more somatization symptoms and fatigue. Therefore， it is crucial to enhance health education， reduce the emphasis on event-related reports， and implement earthquake prevention and disaster reduction training to improve the physical and mental health of adolescents.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Decoction combined with chemotherapy on disease-free survival rate and disease-free survival(DFS)of patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ postoperative gastric cancer.Methods Totally 102 patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ postoperative gastric cancer treated by Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were selected.The patients were divided into control group(52 cases)and test group(50 cases)with block random method.The control group received conventional postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles.The test group was treated with Chinese materia medica for 6 months on the basis of chemotherapy.Continue follow-up until the patients had recurrence,metastasis or death.DFS was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method,and the average DFS of the two groups was estimated.Log Rank test was used to test the significance of differences in survival distribution between groups.Univariate and multivariate analyses of variables affecting prognosis were conducted using the Cox regression model.Adverse reactions of both groups were monitored.Results The recurrence and metastasis rate of the test group was 12.0%(6/50),while that of the control group was 34.6%(18/52),which was lower in the test group than in the control group(P<0.05).The 1-year and 2-year DFS rates and DFS of the control group were 86.5%,72.2%and 25.8 months respectively,while those of the test group were 95.6%,84.1%and 33.9 months respectively,with statistical significance(P=0.012).Cox-regression analysis suggested:The independent factors influencing the disease-free survival time of patients with gastric cancer were the test group(P=0.022),surgical methods of subtotal gastrectomy(P=0.038)and clinical stages Ⅱ(P=0.040).No adverse reactions related to Chinese materia medica were reported in the two groups.Conclusion Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Decoction combined with chemotherapy can improve the 1-year and 2-year DFS rate,prolong DFS,reduce the recurrence and metastasis rate,and improve the prognosis.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of posteromedial combined with lateral Frosch approach versus anterior medial and lateral dual incision approach in open reduction and internal fixation for Schatzker type VI tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 41 patients with Schatzker type VI tibial plateau fractures, who were admitted to the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the PLA from January 2018 to May 2024, including 23 males and 18 females, aged 34-79 years [(50.7±7.7)years]. Twenty-three patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation via the posteromedial combined with lateral Frosch approach (posterior approach group), while 18 patients underwent the same procedure via the anterior medial and lateral dual incision approach (anterior approach group). The following parameters were compared between the two groups: operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, depth of articular surface depression and tibial plateau width measured preoperatively, at 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and posterior proximal tibial angle (PPTA) measured at 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores assessed preoperatively, at 7 days postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, American Knee Society (KSS) score and knee flexion range of motion assessed at 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, fracture healing status at the last follow-up, and incidence of postoperative complications.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(14.3±2.1)months]. The operation duration was (119.6±11.8)minutes in the posterior approach group, which was significantly shorter than (140.3±10.6)minutes in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss or postoperative drainage volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). No significant differences were found in the preoperative depth of articular surface depression or tibial plateau width between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the depth of articular surface depression was 0.8(0.6, 1.0)mm, 0.6(0.5, 0.8)mm, and 0.6(0.5, 0.7)mm in the posterior approach group, which were significantly shorter than 1.1(0.9, 1.3)mm, 0.8(0.7, 1.0)mm, and 0.8(0.7, 1.0)mm in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). The tibial plateau width at the same time points was 71.0(69.1, 73.5)mm, 70.5(69.2, 72.9)mm, and 70.5(69.3, 72.5)mm in the posterior approach group, which were significantly shorter than 73.0(72.3, 74.2)mm, 71.5(71.0, 73.0)mm, and 71.5(71.1, 72.6)mm in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). At 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the MPTA values were (87.4±0.7)°, (87.7±0.6)°, and (87.9±0.5)° in the posterior approach group, which were significantly larger than (85.2±2.5)°, (86.0±2.2)°, and (86.3±2.0)° in the anterior approach group ( P<0.01). The PPTA values at the same time points were (9.5±0.7)°, (9.0±0.5)°, and (8.6±0.4)° in the posterior approach group, which were significantly smaller than (11.2±1.0)°, (10.3±0.8)°, and (9.8±0.7)° in the anterior approach group ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the preoperative VAS score between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 7 days postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the VAS scores were 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points and 0.5(0.0, 2.0)points in the posterior approach group, which were significantly lower than 5.0(4.0, 5.0)points and 1.0(1.0, 3.0)points in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). At 7 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up, the KSS scores were 62.5(57.0, 67.5)points, 75.5(72.0, 82.5)points, and 87.0(82.5, 93.5)points in the posterior approach group, which were significantly higher than 61.5(54.5, 63.0)points, 74.0(68.0, 79.0)points, and 85.5(78.0, 88.5)points in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). The knee flexion range of motion was 90.0(85.0, 95.0)°, 115.0(109.0, 122.0)°, and 126.0(120.0, 130.0)° in the posterior approach group, which were significantly greater than 80.5(75.2, 85.8)°, 110.0(104.0, 115.0)°, and 119.0(113.0, 122.0)° in the anterior approach group ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, all the fractures were healed in both groups. No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared to the anterior medial and lateral dual incision approach, the posteromedial combined with lateral Frosch approach demonstrates superior advantages in operation duration, reduction quality, pain relief, functional recovery in the treatment of Schatzker type VI tibial plateau fractures, while the incidence of complications is comparable.

Viruses,as important biological agents influencing human health and social development,have played a key role in the spread of epidemics and the evolution of diseases since ancient times.Upon infecting hosts,viruses often trigger a series of com-plex responses,including innate and adaptive immunity,inflammatory responses and pathological damage.Despite advances in mod-ern antiviral drugs development,chemical drugs typically rely on a single molecular target within the viral life cycle,making them highly susceptible to the emergence of drug resistance and the induction of systemic toxic side effects.In contrast,traditional Chi-nese medicines(TCMs),posing the distinctive advantage of multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway,have exerted a pivotal role in viral prevention and viral treatment.In recent years,fresh herbs have gained increasing attention for their ability to preserve intact bioactive components.Fresh herb-derived nanovesicles possess excellent biocompatibility,targeting and cross-species regula-tory capabilities.These fresh herb-derived nanovesicles can effectively encapsulate and deliver a variety of antiviral components,demonstrating significant potential in antiviral immunomodulation,inflammation control and viral-induced pathologies.This review systematically sorts out the mechanisms of viral infection,and summarizes the advantages of fresh herbs,and the application pros-pects of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles in antiviral therapy.Furthermore,it focuses on summarizing the research progress of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles in the field of antiviral therapy,with the aim of providing insights and references for the development of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles-based antiviral strategies,as well as offering novel approaches and perspectives for the clinical treat-ment of viral diseases.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopy assisted unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression(ULBD)in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis under local anesthe-sia,and to compare the anesthetic effects of single-stage and two-stage local anesthesia.Methods:A retro-spective analysis was conducted on the data of 106 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent uni-lateral biportal endoscopy assisted ULBD treatment under local anesthesia in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2023.There were 51 males and 55 females,aged 55-83(66.7±14.5)years old,with the following le-sion segments:17 cases at L3-4,36 cases at L4-5,and 53 cases at L5-S1.Schizas classification:25 cases of grade B,36 cases of grade C,and 45 cases of grade D.Among them,52 patients underwent single-stage local anesthesia and were included in the single anesthesia group(Group A),while 54 patients received two-stage local anesthesia and were included in the two-stage local anesthesia group(Group B).There were no statistically significant differences in age,gender ratio,body mass index(BMI),surgical segments,Schizas classification and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification between the two groups of patients.The perioperative complications,operative time,as well as the visual analogue scale(VAS)score,oxygen saturation,mean arterial pressure,heart rate in both groups before surgery(T1),during exposure(T2),during traction of the nerve root(T3),and immediately after surgery(T4)were recorded;The VAS scores for low back pain and leg pain,as well as the Oswestry disability index(ODI),were compared between the two groups before and after surgery.The MacNab assessment criteria were used to evaluate the overall postoperative efficacy of the patients at the final follow-up.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation.Two cases had dural tear,but no dural repair was performed;Five cases had mild headache,which disappeared after symptomatic treatment;Four cases had increased lower limb pain and numbness compared to pre-operative conditions,which were treated with symptomatic treatment for swelling reduction,and the symptoms alleviated or disappeared 3-5d after surgery;All incisions healed in stage Ⅰ.During the operation,the vital signs remained stable throughout and no unexpected incidents occurred.There was no statistical difference between group A and group B in operative time(101.9±17.3min vs.103.6±15.9min,P＞0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed in VAS scores,mean arterial pressure and heart rate between the two groups at T1 and T2(P＞0.05).At T3 and T4,the VAS scores,mean arterial pressure and heart rate of group A were significantly higher than those of group B(P＜0.05).At each time point after surgery,the VAS scores and ODI of the two groups improved significantly compared with those before surgery(P＜0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at the same time point(P＞0.05).At the final follow-up,31 cases in group A were excellent,14 cases were good,and 7 cases were fair,with an excellent and good rate of 86.5％;36 cases in group B were excellent,13 cases were good,and 5 cases were fair,with an excellent and good rate of 90.7％.There was no statistically significant difference in the excellent and good rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions:The unilateral biportal endoscopy technique under local anesthesia for ULBD in the treatment of lumbar spinal canal stenosis can achieve good clinical efficacy,and two-stage local anesthesia provides a superior analgesic effect compared to single-stage local anesthesia.This method holds significant clinical application value,particularly for patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis accompanied by complex comorbidities and at high risk for general anesthesia.

Objective: To systematically analyzes the impact of blood donor characteristics on red blood cell (RBC) quality and transfusion outcomes, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing donor selection criteria and developing personalized transfusion strategies. Methods: A literature search was conducted across electronic databases including CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Embase using combinations of keywords such as "donor characteristics", "blood storage lesion", "blood quality", and "transfusion outcomes" for summary and analysis. Results: Factors associated with the blood donor characteristics including demographic characteristics (sex, age, body mass index), lifestyle habits (smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise), and dietary or pharmacological exposures significantly influence blood storage stability and transfusion efficacy by modulating erythrocyte metabolism, oxidative stress levels, and immune properties. Conclusion: The complexity and diversity of the blood donor characteristics are associated with blood quality and transfusion outcomes. Future efforts should focus on refining donor selection criteria and establishing personalized transfusion strategies to enhance blood product quality and improve patient outcomes.

Objective To investigate whether olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells(OM-MSCs)attenuate oxygen glucose deprivation and recovery(OGD/R)-induced ferroptosis in neurons through glutathione oxidase 4(GPX4).Methods The middle nasal tissue were collected from a patient with nasal polyps admitted in our hospital,and then OM-MSCs were isolated from the tissue,which were confirmed by morphological observation under light microscopy and phenotypic characterization through flow cytometry for surface markers,including CD34,CD45,CD73,CD90,CD105,and CD146.Mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 was randomly divided into control,Control,OGD/R,OGD/R+OM-MSCs,OGD/R+sh-NC,OGD/R+sh-GPX4 and OGD/R+sh-GPX4+OM-MSCs groups.After the cells were subjected to OGD/R modeling,the cells were subsequently co-cultured with OM-MSCs and/or knockdown of GPX4.Neuronal apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry,while cell viability was assessed using CCK-8 assay.Biochemical markers associated with ferroptosis,including MDA,ROS,GSH,and Fe2? levels,were measured with corresponding reagent kits.The GPX4 expression at both mRNA and protein levels was determined through qPCR and Western blotting,respectively.Results The isolated and primarily cultured OM-MSCs showed typical characteristics of OM-MSCs in cell surface markers(negative expression of CD34 and CD45 but positive expression of CD73,CD90,CD105,and CD146 on cell surface)and morphology(adherent cells in a spindle-like shape).Significant differences were observed among the control,OGD/R,and OGD/R+OM-MSCs groups in terms of cell viability,MDA,ROS,GSH,Fe2+and GPX4(P<0.05).The OGD/R group showed notable decreases in cell activity and GSH(P<0.05),increases in MDA,ROS,and Fe2+(P<0.05),and down-regulation of GPX4 when compared with the control group(P<005).Co-culture with OM-MSCs enhanced cell activity and GSH(P<0.05),decreased MDA,ROS,and Fe2+(P<0.05),and up-regulated GPX4 as compared to the conditions in the OGD/R group(P<0.05).While,OGD/R+sh-GPX4 treament developed the decreases in cell viability,GSH,and GPX4 and the increases in MDA,ROS,and Fe2+as compared to the OGD/R+sh-NC group(P<0.05),however,all of these could be reversed by OM-MSCs.Conclusion OM-MSCs inhibit OGD/R-induced ferroptosis in HT22 cells by up-regulating GPX4.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors influencing mortality in neonates undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:This retrospective study included 34 neonates with a corrected age of≤28 days who received CRRT at the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, from January 2019 to December 2023. The neonates were divided into a mortality group ( n=16) and a survival group ( n=18) based on whether they died during CRRT. Pre-CRRT blood biochemical indices, general condition, CRRT treatment modes, parameters, and related complications were analyzed using t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, and Chi-square tests. Logistic stepwise regression analysis was used to screen for risk factors associated with CRRT mortality. Results:The mortality rate among the 34 neonates was 48.6% (16/34), with a median CRRT age of 17 days (range: 2-33 days). Eleven neonates (32.3%) were preterm, with the youngest gestational age being 27 weeks and the lowest weight before CRRT initiation being 1 700 g. The mortality group had lower urine output 6-12 hours before CRRT initiation and lower critical illness scores compared to the survival group [0.05 (0.02-1.00) ml/(kg·h) vs. 0.50 (0.20-1.05) ml/(kg·h), (64.50±7.10) scores vs. (77.67±3.65) scores, Z or t values were 10.97 and 3.91, respectively]. However, the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS), proportion of coma, and levels of blood potassium, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood ammonia, blood lactic acid, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were higher in the mortality group compared to the survival group [ (86.88±15.80) scores vs. (55.56±24.31) scores, 11/16 vs. 1/18, (7.02±1.73) mmol/L vs. (5.88±1.53) mmol/L, 274.55(132.50-664.98) U/L vs. 31.10(19.03-110.70) U/L, 688.20 (449.73-3 618.13) U/L vs. 96.65 (44.15-439.00) U/L, 232.75 (70.33-1 310.85) μmol/L vs.77.70 (49.78-919.05) μmol/L, (11.17±3.36) U/L vs. (7.99±2.67) U/L, and (99.57±39.74) s vs. (60.97±31.25) s, with t, χ2, or Z values of－4.39, 14.81,－2.03,－2.72,－11.81,－3.89,－3.06, and－3.17, respectively] (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that pre-treatment VIS value ( OR=1.150, 95% CI: 1.035-1.278), and blood ammonia level ( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.002-1.009) were independent risk factors for mortality (both P<0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal CRRT mortality is associated with pre-treatment VIS scores and blood ammonia levels. Attention should be paid to a rapid decreases in urine output, the intensity of vasopressor support, and elevated levels of blood ammonia, blood lactic acid, transaminases, and APTT at the initiation of treatment.

Diabetic encephalopathy(DE)is a complication of the central nervous system induced by diabetes,characterized by insidious onset and complex pathological mechanisms.Recent research has revealed that the pathological mechanisms of DE are closely associated with the imbalance of intercellular communica-tion across multiple organs.Exosomes,serving as vital media-tors of intercellular communication,are involved in the patholog-ical progression of DE and hold promise as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for DE.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)can improve communication between brain cells and be-tween peripheral and brain tissues by regulating exosomes and their contents,thereby preventing and treating DE.Meanwhile,exosomes,as targeted delivery carriers of active molecules,can carry TCM monomers more easily across the blood-brain barrier to prevent and treat DE.In light of this,this review summarizes the regulatory role of exosomes in the pathological progression of DE and explores the enormous potential of TCM in the preven-tion and treatment of DE by regulating exosomes and using exo-somes as traditional Chinese medicine carriers,aiming to pro-vide new evidence for the prevention and treatment of DE with TCM.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of cementless long-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the treatment of end-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric femoral fractures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 18 patients with end-stage ONFH combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures who were admitted to the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the PLA from January 2016 to June 2023, including 8 males (8 hips) and 10 females (10 hips), aged 56-79 years [(69.4±7.0)years]. All the patients had Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage IV ONFH combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fracture (Seinsheimer types II-IV). Parameters recorded included operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, time to partial weight-bearing, and time to full weight-bearing. Vertical offset and leg length discrepancy (LLD) were compared preoperatively and at 1 week postoperatively. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, hip range of motion (flexion, abduction), and Harris hip score (HHS) were compared preoperatively, at 1 week, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. Perioperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-70 months [(36.4±16.2)months]. Operation duration was (116.4±18.1)minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was (334.4±121.3)ml. The length of hospital stay was 13.0(10.0, 16.3)days. The time to partial weight-bearing was 5.0(3.0, 7.0)days, with time to full weight-bearing for 5.0(4.0, 5.3)weeks. At 1 week postoperatively, the vertical offset [(58.9±4.1)mm] was significantly increased compared to that preoperatively [(49.3±3.3)mm] ( P<0.01), while the LLD [(4.2±3.1)mm] was significantly reduced compared to that preoperatively [(16.2±5.8)mm] ( P<0.01). At 1 week, 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the VAS scores [3.0(2.0, 3.3)points, 2.0(1.0, 2.0)points, and 1.0(0.0, 2.0)points] were significantly lower than that preoperatively [6.0(5.0, 6.3)points], and decreased with the passage of follow-up time ( P<0.01); the hip flexion angles [(50.4±6.5)°, (94.3±6.4)°, and (104.7±7.4)°] and hip abduction angles [(21.5±4.4)°, (34.9±4.5)°, and (42.9±4.9)°] were lower than those preoperatively [(32.9±6.4)° and (13.4±4.9)°], and decreased with the passage of follow-up time ( P<0.01); the HHS [(58.1±4.9)points, (83.1±2.9)points, and (90.7±2.6)points] were higher than that preoperatively [(33.4±4.4)points], and increased with the passage of follow-up time ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, 5 patients were rated as excellent, 11 as good, and 2 as fair according to the HHS criteria, with an overall excellent and good rate of 89%. No perioperative complications were observed, including neurovascular injury, secondary fracture, or infection. One patient developed partial deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity (the popliteal vein) at 2 weeks after surgery, which recovered completely following treatment with a standard oral administration of rivaroxaban, etc. At the last follow-up, no evidence of malunion, prosthesis loosening, subsidence, or dislocation was observed. Conclusion:The use of cementless long-stem THA in the treatment of end-stage ONFH combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures has advantages of small trauma, early weight-bearing, early pain relief, improved joint motion and function, and few complications.
