OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism by which Qiaobai cold compress solution （QBCS） improves acne vulgaris （AV） based on transcriptomics and animal experiments. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into a blank control group （ n ＝6） and a modeling group （ n ＝30）. AV models were established in the modeling group by topical application of oleic acid to the inner surface of both ears， combined with subcutaneous injection of Cutibacterium acnes suspension into the auricle. Successfully modeled rats were further divided into the model group， positive control group （Tretinoin cream， 0.045 g/kg）， and QBCS low-， medium-， high-dose groups [3.55， 7.11， 14.22 g/kg （calculated by the amount of crude drug） ] ， with 6 rats in each group. Rats in each d rug group were treated with the corresponding drugs once daily for 14 consecutive days. After the final administration， changes in the appearance of the ears and histopathological changes in the ear tissues were observed， and serum levels of inflammatory factors， including tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-1β， were measured. Auricular tissues from the blank control group， model group and QBCS medium-dose group were collected for transcriptome sequencing. Differential expressed genes （DEGs） were screened and subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis， followed by validation using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assay. RESULTS Compared with the model group， rats in all QBCS groups showed alleviated auricular acne symptoms， with reduced epidermal thickening， sebaceous gland hyperplasia， and inflammatory cell infiltration. Serum levels of TNF-α （except for the QBCS low-dose group）， IL-6 （except for the QBCS low-dose group） and IL-1β were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. A total of 590 DEGs were identified （blank control group vs. model group）， and 596 DEGs were identified （model group vs. QBCS medium-dose group）. Above DEGs （blank control group vs. model group） were mainly enriched in Toll-like receptor （TLR） and nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathways， etc. Validation experiments showed that， compared with model group， low-， medium- and high-dose of QBCS reduced， to varying degrees， the mRNA expression of TNF-α， TLR2， interferon-γ and CXC chemokine ligand 8 in the auricular tissues of AV rats， increased the mRNA expression of peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma and tumor protein 53， and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 protein as well as the expressions of TLR2 and myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88（MyD88） （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS QBCS can alleviate auricular inflammation and skin lesions in AV rats. This effect may be related to inhibition of the TLR/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway， thereby suppressing the expression of downstream inflammatory factors such as TNF-α.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of combination regimens based on omadacycline or tigecycline in the treatment of patients with carbapenem-resistant acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) pneumonia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the case data of 92 patients diagnosed with CRAB pneumonia who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital between January 2022 and March 2024. Among these cases, 49 patients received combination therapy with omadacycline as the foundation (hereafter referred to as the omadacycline group),A total of 43 cases were treated with tigecycline-based combination therapy (hereafter referred to as the tigecycline group). The demographic and clinical data of the two patient groups, including pre- and post-treatment improvements in inflammatory markers, bacterial clearance rates, ventilator weaning success rates, and 28-day survival rates, were compared.Results:No significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two patient groups.The body temperature, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein levels, and procalcitonin concentrations in both groups of patients showed significant improvement after 72 hours of treatment.The differences observed were statistically significant ( P<0.05).Following the completion of the treatment regimen, the bacterial clearance rates in the omadacycline and tigecycline groups were 69.4% and 44.2%, respectively ( P = 0.015). Moreover, the success rates for weaning patients from ventilator support were 71.4% and 51.2%, respectively ( P = 0.046).However, no statistically significant difference was observed in the 28-day survival rate.No serious adverse drug reactions were observed in either of the groups. Conclusions:Both omadacycline- and tigecycline-based combination therapies have demonstrated significant efficacy in improving inflammatory markers in patients with CRAB pneumonia. There was no statistically significant difference in the 28-day survival rate between the two patient groups. Furthermore, combination therapy utilizing omadacycline can significantly enhance the efficacy of promoting negative conversion of the etiological agent,minimize the duration of mechanical ventilation.

With the widespread application of diving technology, the safety of long-term diving has become a research focus. Research on the chronic health effects of long-term diving on divers mainly focuses on the respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, skeletal system, urinary system, as well as psychological health and sleep. Long-term diving can lead to increased lung capacity, thickening of nasal mucosa, myocardial hypertrophy, changes in heart rhythm, and hearing loss in divers. The impact of long-term diving on health is influenced by diving exposure index such as diving mode, maximum diving depth, underwater stay time, diving frequency, and number of dives, as well as individual factors such as years of diving experience, age, and medical history of divers. However, research on the effects of diving on health are inconsistent, and the potential mechanisms of health damage are unclear. Future large-scale research should be conducted under strict experimental conditions and with standardized inclusion criteria for subjects. Establishing a scientific and systematic assessment method for decompression is crucial for studying the chronic health effects of divers and enhancing understanding of relevant mechanisms to promote the development of diving industry and sport.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of patient participation and Internet plus in fall prevention management strategies of elderly inpatients and analyze the causes of falls, so as to provide a basis for continuous improvement in fall prevention to investigate their continuous improvement.Methods:A pre- and post-control study was conducted. Totally 8 480 elderly inpatients hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine from 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021 in Chenzhou NO. 1 People′s Hospital were selected by convenient sampling as the control group, and 8 662 elderly inpatients hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022 were in the experimental group. The routine fall prevention measures were used in the control group, and on this basis, the experimental group formulated and implemented fall prevention management strategies involving patients based on the patient participation framework "informing, participating, empowering, cooperating, and electronic information support" and introduced Internet plus. Then the differences between the two groups in terms of the incidence of falls and the satisfaction rate of nursing care were compared.Results:The experimental group included 8 662 cases (5 110 males and 3 552 females) with (73.96 ± 8.78) years old, while the control group included 8 480 cases (4 918 males and 3 562 females) with (74.11 ± 8.59) years old. The incidence of falls in experimental group (0.092%, 8/8 662) was lower than that in control group (0.224%, 19/8 480), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=4.71, P<0.05); the nursing care satisfaction rate of experimental group (98.880%, 8 565/8 662) was higher than that of control group (96.450%, 8 179/8 480), and the difference also was statistically significant ( χ 2=106.50, P<0.01); the analysis of the fall causes of the patients revealed that the toilet squatting commode was an important hidden risk of falls in elderly patients. Conclusions:Fall prevention management strategies based on patient participation can reduce the incidence of falls in elderly patients and improve the satisfaction rate of nursing care. Patient participation introduced "Internet plus" can prevent patient falls. The root causes of patient falls will continue to change, and care managers should continually track real-time changes in the root causes of falls to identify problems, develop and adjust prevention strategies accordingly, and pay attention to the importance of infrastructure in the safety of older patients.

Objective:To observe the relationship between autophagy regulation activity of chromosome 19 open reading frame 5 (C19ORF5) and malignant degree of colorectal cancer and chemosensitivity of paclitaxel.Methods:The tumor tissues and normal adjacent tissues of 141 colorectal cancer patients from 2015 to 2017 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were selected. The expressions of C19ORF5 protein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemistry and timed quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The correlation between C19ORF5 protein regulating autophagy activity and malignancy of colorectal cancer was analyzed. All 141 patients received postoperative chemotherapy, among whom 91 patients received conventional chemotherapy (capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin, conventional chemotherapy group), and 50 patients received conventional chemotherapy combined with paclitaxel (paclitaxel group). Six course of treatment was treated in both groups.Results:Autophagosomes could been seen under transmission electron microscopy. C19ORF5 protein was pale yellow to tan granules, and was expressed in the cytoplasm. The C19ORF5 protein staining intensity of cancer tissue was significantly stronger than that of normal tissue, and the staining intensity of stage Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of stage Ⅳ. The high expression rate of C19ORF5 protein in patients with stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ: 83.3% (25/30) vs. 17.1% (19/111), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01). The expression of C19ORF5 mRNA in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues: 1.17 ± 0.45 vs. 0.82 ± 0.29, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissue was related to tumor stage, carcinoembryonic antigen and liver metastasis ( P<0.01 or <0.05); the expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissue was not related to lymph node metastasis ( P>0.05). Of the 91 cases in conventional chemotherapy group, chemotherapy was effective in 70 cases (76.9%) and ineffective in 21 cases (23.1%). Of 50 cases in paclitaxel group, it was effective in 42 cases (84.0%) and ineffective in 8 cases (16.0%). There was no statistical difference in effective rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In conventional chemotherapy group, there was no significant difference in serum C19ORF5 protein expression levels between cancer tissues before and after chemotherapy in effective patients and ineffective patients ( P>0.05); there was no significant difference in serum C19ORF5 protein expression levels between effective patients and ineffective patients after chemotherapy ( P>0.05). In paclitaxel group, the expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissues before chemotherapy was significantly higher than that in serum C19ORF5 protein after chemotherapy: 0.9 ± 0.3 vs. 0.5 ± 0.2, the expression level of serum C19ORF5 protein in patients with effective chemotherapy was significantly lower than that in ineffective patients: 0.5 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.2, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The high expression of C19ORF5 protein can increase the autophagy activity of colorectal cancer tissue; C19ORF5 protein regulates autophagy activity and is negatively correlated with the malignant degree of colorectal cancer; C19ORF5 protein may increase the sensitivity of paclitaxel chemotherapy by enhancing autophagy activity.

Objective: To establish and verify the validity of a finite element(FE) model of fragment injury in swine mandibular composite tissue. Methods: Swine facial composite tissue digital information was obtained by 3D CT,the 3D model and the cylinder fragment with the diameter and height of 5. 5 mm were reconstructed and designed in mimics15. 0. The right mandibular angle region was impacted by the fragment with velocities in finite element analysis software. A two stage light gas gun was used to launch the same shape 30CrMnSi alloy fragment with the speed of 831,1 120 and 1 536 m/s respectively to impact swine mandibular angle area. The actual damage area and acceleration at jaw were measured and compared with the digital simulation results. Results: Compared with the data of digital simulation the fragment with the speed of 831,1 120 and 1 536 m/s resulted in the larger mandibular damage area of entry in the in vivo experiment by 13. 4％,23. 6％ and 22. 3％; that of exit by 18. 7％,23. 0％ and 26. 5％; the smallar accelaration peak by 16. 7％,15. 3％ and 14. 6％,respectively. Conclusion: A digital model of the swine mandible composite tissue fragment injury model is established. The simulation results of the FE model are consistent similar to those of the in vivo test data.

BACKGROUND: Intestinal tract factors, especially intestinal ischemiareperfusion, can induce the injury of remote organ. Chinese herb, rhubarb,can clear oxygen free radical to promote the proliferation of beaker cell in intestinal mucous membrane, inhibit excessive multiplication of bacterium and endotoxin absorption in the intestinal tract, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improve microcirculation and other ways to protect intestinal mucous membrane barrier, so as to prevent and treat pulmonary injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the preventing and treating effect of rhubarb on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion-induced pulmonary injury and the effect of rhubarb on tumor necrosis factor and phospholipase A2 (PLA2).DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Emergency, Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from February to July 2003. Totally 80SD rats were selected and randomly divided into intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group (n=24), sham operation group (n=46), treatment group (n=24) and normal saline group (n=16).METHODS: In the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group, rats were fasted before operation. They were anesthetized and given a median abdominal incision. Superior mesenteric artery was isolated and occluded by vascular clamp without wound, and then the incision was sutured; 45 minutes later,vascular clamp was taken out to recover blood supply. For the treatment group, modeling was the same as that in the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group, 600 mg/kg suspension of rhubarb extract was gastrointestinally perfused into the rats 30 minutes before recovering blood supply. For the normal saline group, modeling was the same as that in the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion group; same dosage of normal saline was gastrointestinally perfused into the rats 30 minutes before recovering blood supply. For the sham operation group, occlusion of superior mesenteric artery was omitted. Taking pathological change and 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin pulmonary uptake index as the index to evaluate pulmonary injury, TNF content and serum of pulmonary tissue and PLA2 activity of lung and intestinal tissue of animals in each group were measured respectively at different time points.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 125I labeled bovine bovine serum albumin uptake index, tumor necrosis factor content of blood and pulmonary tissue, and PLA2 activity of serum, lung and intestinal tissue RESULTS: ① Pathological and morphological change of pulmonary tissue: There was no obvious abnormality in the sham operation group; In the intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group, 6 hours later, pulmonary interstitial edema, neutrophile infiltration appeared and alveolar edema was also found, and there were a little haemorrhage and exudation of fibrin. Only mild pulmonary interstitial edema and a small quantity of neutrophiles were found in the treatment group. ② Ultramicro-pathological change of pulmonary tissue: There was no obvious change in the sham operation group. In the intestinal ishcemia/reperfusion group, 6 hours later, pulmonary capillary endothelial cells were swelled and neutrophilic granulocyte leaked into pulmonary stroma and alveolar space. There were no above changes in the treatment group. ③ Change of tumor necrosis factor of pulmonary tissue in the sham operation group or treatment group (reperfusion for 30 minutes) was significantly lower than that in the intestinal ischemiareperfusion group (reperfusion for 30 minutes) (0.235±0.114,1.374±0.550,16.315±4.587,P ＜ 0.01). ④125I-BSA pulmonary uptake index in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the intestinal ischemiareperfusion group and normal saline group (P ＜ 0.01), without significant difference in comparison with sham operation group (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Early application of rhubarb is helpful to prevent and treat lung injury following small intestine ischemic reperfusion, so as to inhibit tissue disease course to deve1op multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,which might be implemented through inhibiting the release of TNF and PLA2 and other media.
