ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and possible mechanisms of Xianglian Huazhuo Granules (香连化浊颗粒, XHG) in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia. MethodsA total of 140 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 70 cases in each group. The treatment group received 12.5 g of XHG orally, twice daily. The control group received 12.5 g of placebo orally, twice daily. Both groups were treated for 6 months. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, pathological types, serum tumor markers of the digestive system, and serum bile acids (TBA), interleukin-23 (IL-23), and Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK-1) levels were observed before and after treatment. Safety indicators and adverse events were recorded. After treatment, TCM syndrome efficacy and pathological types were evaluated, and patients were followed up for 18 months with gastric endoscopy and pathological results, which were compared with the results after treatment finished. ResultsTwo patients dropped out in the control group, and a total of 168 cases were included in the final analysis, 70 in the treatment group and 68 in the control group. The treatment group showed a significant reduction in TCM symptom scores, serum TBA, IL-23, and DKK-1 levels, and a significant increase in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) levels; in the control group, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA125, CA199 levels significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); and carbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242) level in both the treatment group and the control group decreased significantly (P<0.01). The treatment group had lower TCM symptom scores and lower levels of serum TBA, IL-23, and DKK-1 compared to the control group (P<0.05). The effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy in the treatment group was 80.00% (56/70), significantly higher than the 20.59% (14/68) in the control group (P < 0.05). The effective rate for pathological classification in the treatment group was 72.73% (8/11) for mixed intestinal metaplasia, significantly better than 46.15% (6/13) in the control group (P<0.05). No adverse events were reported in either group. Among 40 patients who had a follow-up endoscopy after one year, 21 were from the treatment group, of whom 11 showed reduced intestinal metaplasia, 9 showed no significant changes, and 1 had worsened; while 19 patients in the control group had 4 with reduced intestinal metaplasia, 13 with no significant changes, and 2 with worsened conditions. No cancer was detected in either group. The treatment group showed significantly better improvement in intestinal metaplasia on follow-up gastric endoscopy pathology than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionXHG can significantly improve the clinical symptoms in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia and reduce the degree of mixed intestinal metaplasia. The mechanism may involve lowering serum TBA, DKK-1, and IL-23 levles, thus delaying the progression from inflammation to cancer.
2.A prediction model of multidrug resistant bacterial for inpatients with pneumonia
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2025;37(5):465-470
Objective:
To create a prediction model of multidrug resistant bacterial infections for inpatients with pneumonia, so as to provide the reference for the early identification and intervention of multidrug resistant bacterial infections.
Methods:
The inpatients with pneumonia in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from October 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Basic information and clinical data of the patients were collected. Respiratory secretions were collected for etiological culture and drug sensitivity tests to analyze the infection situation of multidrug resistant bacteria. LASSO regression and a multivariable logistic regression model were used to screen predictive factors and establish a predictive model of multidrug resistant bacterial infections for inpatients with pneumonia. The predictive effect of the model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve.
Results:
A total of 368 inpatients with pneumonia were recruited, including 215 males (58.42%) and 153 females (41.58%). The median age was 71.00 (interquartile range, 20.00) years. There were 168 cases of multidrug resistant bacterial infections detected, with a detection rate of 45.65%. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that long-term bedridden patients (OR=2.699, 95%CI: 1.120-6.504), use of antibiotics within 30 days (OR=8.623, 95%CI: 2.949-25.216), respiratory failure (OR=2.407, 95%CI: 1.058-5.478), intensive care unit treatment (OR=3.995, 95%CI: 1.313-12.161), and hypoproteinemia (OR=2.129, 95%CI: 1.012-4.480) were predict factors of multidrug resistant bacterial infections for inpatients with pneumonia. The area under the ROC curve of the established multidrug resistant bacterial infection prediction model was 0.909 (95%CI: 0.879-0.939). The calibration curve after repeated sampling calibration approached the standard curve, and the predicted values were highly consistent with the measured values. The decision curve showed that when the probability threshold is 0.27-0.99, the clinical net benefit for predicting the risk of multidrug resistant bacterial infection is relatively high.
Conclusion
The prediction model of multidrug resistant bacteria infection constructed has a good predictive value for multidrug resistant bacterial infection among inpatients with pneumonia

Objective:To explore the effect of behavioral habits on the recovery of spinal cord function in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after expansive open-door laminoplasty(ELAP).Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 183 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent ELAP at the Spinal Surgery Department of Jining Medical University Affiliated Hospital, from February 2019 to October 2022, with complete follow-up information. General clinical data of patients were collected. The patients were followed up at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery with the modified standard MacNab.The JOA score was used to evaluate the recovery of motor and sensory functions in patients before and 12 months after surgery. The recovery rate of spinal cord function was calculated based on the JOA score, and patients were divided into two groups: the group with good therapeutic effect ( n=143, recovery rate ≥ 50%) and the group with poor therapeutic effect ( n=40, recovery rate<50%). Data statistics were conducted using SPSS 20.0 software for chi-square test, rank sum test, t-test, and Logistic regression analysis. Results:There were significant differences in age ( t=-3.252, P<0.01), smoking ( χ2=21.503, P<0.01), body mass index(BMI) ( t=-5.885, P<0.01), hypertension ( χ2=20.263, P<0.01), coronary heart disease ( χ2=13.272, P<0.01), hospitalization time ( t=-2.278, P=0.02), desk and screen time ( t=-6.589, P<0.01), and frequency of rehabilitation exercise ( χ2=10.927, P<0.01) between the group with good therapeutic effect and the group with poor therapeutic effect. Further multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking ( B=2.402, OR=11.046, 95% CI=2.334-52.285, P<0.05), high BMI ( B=0.341, OR=1.406, 95% CI=1.076-1.837, P<0.05), hypertension ( B=2.238, OR=9.370, 95% CI=2.153-40.790, P<0.05), long desk and screen time ( B=0.961, OR=2.613, 95% CI=1.540-4.435, P<0.05) and low frequency of rehabilitation exercise ( B=-1.039, OR=0.354, 95% CI=0.201-0.623, P<0.05) were risk factors for spinal cord function recovery in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after ELAP( P<0.05). Conclusion:Smoking, high BMI, hypertension, long desk and screen time, and low frequency of rehabilitation exercise are not adverse to the recovery of neurological function in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy after ELAP.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of the Mongolian medicine Sugemule-4 on the metabolism of insomnia rats, and to preliminarily explore its possible mechanisms for improving insomnia. METHODS The rat model of chronic stress insomnia was established by tail clipping stimulation and intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenyl alanine solution. Twenty-four male rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, diazepam group (positive control, 0.92 mg/kg), and Sugemule-4 group (5.2 g/kg), with 6 rats in each group. Since the 7th day of tail clipping stimulation, the Sugemule-4 group and diazepam group began to be intragastrically administered with relevant medicine; the normal group and model group were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. The learning and memory abilities of rats were tested using a water maze experiment, and the non-invasive sleep activity monitoring system was used to monitor the 24- hour sleep time of rats. A metabolomics study was conducted on rat serum and hippocampal tissue by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The multivariate statistical analysis method was adopted to analyze the differential metabolites in serum and hippocampal tissue of rats, and screen for differential metabolites and metabolic pathways among those groups. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the escape latency of rats in the model group was significantly increased, the times of crossing platforms were significantly reduced, and the percentage of average 24-hour sleep time was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of the above indicators were significantly reversed in the diazepam group and Sugemule-4 group (P<0.05). Metabolomics studies found that a total of 9 differential metabolites were identified in rat serum and hippocampal tissue, including 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, canine urate, canine urinary quinolinic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, phenol sulfate, 1-carboxyethyltyrosine, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) lactate, N-acetyl tyrosine, tyrosine and phenol sulfate, mainly involving 2 metabolic pathways of tryptophan and tyrosine.CONCLUSIONS Sugemule-4 can improve the sleep time and behavioral performance of insomnia rats, and its mechanism may be associated with affecting amino acid metabolic pathways such as tryptophan and tyrosine.
