Based on the theory of "yang governs and yin follows", it is believed that pediatric obesity is primarily involves the key pathogenesis of constraint and stagnation due to yang deficiency, and the excessive accumulation of yin turbid. The root cause lies in the spleen-stomach yang deficiency and impaired digestion and transformation, while the branch manifestation is characterized by constraint and stagnation in sanjiao (三焦) and excessive accumulation of yin turbid. This emphasizes the imbalance between the governing function of yang qi and the transformation mechanism of yin essence in the overall pathological process. Accordingly, the treatment approach of reinforcing yang and unblocking stagnation, inhibiting yin and resolving turbid has been proposed. And a comprehensive treatment plan is suggested, including abdominal tuina combined with spinal manipulation, timed acupuncture according to the the eightfold method of the sacred tortoise, syndrome differentiation-based acupuncture, and mild moxibustion. This approach aims to provide an integrated approach for the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity.

Objectives:To investigate the effect of resistance exercise(RE)on the dissolution of catheter-associated thrombus(CRT)and its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,CRT group,CRT+ RE group(n=12 in each group).Rats in the CRT group did not receive any intervention,while rats in the CRT+RE group received RE intervention 10 days after modeling for 28 days.The thrombolysis rate was evaluated by Hematoxylin-Eosin staining.The contents of irisin,interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-10 in serum were detected by ELISA.The relative mRNA expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator α(PGC-1α)and fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing 5(FNDC5)in gastrocnemius were detected by real-time quantitative PCR(qPCR).Results:There was no thrombosis in control group.Compared with control group,the contents of irisin and IL-10 in CRT group were significantly decreased,while the content of IL-6 in CRT rats was significantly increased(all P<0.01).Thrombolysis rate was significantly higher,and the mRNA expressions of PGC-1α and FNDC5 in gastrocnemius were significantly upregulated in CRT+RE group than in CRT group(all P<0.01).Serum irisin,IL-10 contents were significantly increased,IL-6 content was significantly lower in CRT+RE group than in CRT group(all P<0.01).Conclusions:Resistance exercise for 28 days could promote the dissolution of CRT,which may be related to the up-regulation of irisin expression and the inhibition of inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the role of growth arrest specific protein 6 (Gas6) in regulating macrophage polarization in wound healing.Methods:Clean male B6 mice were randomly(random number) divided into the normal group, skin defect group, skin defect group + normal saline group (PBS group), skin defect + Gas6 (1 μg) group, skin defect + Gas6 (5 μg) group, and skin defect + Gas6 (10 μg) group. Ten mice in each group were used to observe the healing of skin wounds. Macrophages were isolated from the wound tissues of the remaining 6 mice on the fifth day after modeling. The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the mRNA expression levels of arginase-1 (Arg-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were detected by RT-PCR, and flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of M1 marker CD197, M2 marker CD163 and F4/80. HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of skin wounds. Masson staining was used to analyze the granulation tissue and collagen deposition.Results:Scab began to form on the surface of the wound on the third day after the skin defect model was established. The wound area of the Gas6 treatment group was smaller than that of the PBS group, and the wound healing was better than that of the PBS group. Compared with the normal group, the proportion of CD197 in macrophages of the skin defect group was significantly increased ( P=0.00 49), the proportion of CD163 and F4/80 double positive was significantly decreased ( P=0.00 86), the level of IL-6 was significantly increased ( P=0.00 13), the level of IL-10 was significantly increased ( P=0.00 14), the level of iNOS mRNA was significantly increased ( P=0.00 8), and Arg-1 was significantly increased in the skin defect group The mRNA level was significantly decreased ( P=0.01 21), and the inflammatory infiltration was aggravated. Compared with the PBS group, the proportion of CD197 in the Gas6 treatment group was significantly decreased ( P=0.00 0), the double positive rates of CD163 and F4/80 were significantly increased ( P = 0.00 0), the level of IL-6 was significantly decreased (P = 0.00 0), the level of IL-10 was significantly increased ( P=0.00 03), the level of iNOS mRNA was significantly decreased ( P=0.00 18), the level of Arg-1 mRNA was significantly increased ( P=0.00 1), and the number of inflammatory cells and the number of collagen fibers were increased. Conclusions:Gas6 can promote the transformation of macrophages from M1 to M2 in mice with skin defect, which is beneficial to the wound healing of skin defect.

Objective:To explore the prognostic factors of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis. Methods:The clinical data of 67 patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis from January 2008 to December 2019 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences in general information, clinical manifestations, admission laboratory indicators, antibiotics and surgery between the death group and the cured group. Then the factors with significant difference in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis, and the factors of prognosis were obtained. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant difference in liver disease, admission with hypotension shock, multiple limb injuries; admission leukocytes, platelets, pH value, albumin, lactic acid, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, procalcitonin, creatine kinase, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time between the death group and the cured group (all P <0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that admission lactate ( OR=0.628, 95% CI: 0.461-0.855, P=0.003), albumin ( OR=1.330, 95% CI:1.062-1.667, P=0.013), creatine kinase ( OR=0.999, 95% CI: 0.998-1.000, P=0.016) and admission surgery time ( OR=0.118, 95% CI: 0.015-0.938, P=0.043) were risk factors of the prognosis. Patients with high lactate, creatine kinase and low albumin at admission indicate poor prognosis; patients with admission surgery time≤ 12 h have better prognosis. Conclusion:For the treatment of patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis, medical staff should dynamically evaluate these prognostic factors in the early stage, and early surgical treatment should be adopted to improve the prognosis of patients.
