Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI)is a pathological phenomenon that commonly occurs during liver surgery and transplantation.It leads to serious tissue damage and affects liver function.The mechanisms behind IRI are complex,involving oxida-tive stress,inflammatory responses,and calcium homeostasis disorder.Recently,scientists have paid more attention to the role of endo-plasmic reticulum stress(ERS)in IRI.ERS activates three classical signaling pathways,PERK,IRE1,and ATF6,through the unfolded protein response(UPR),aiming to preliminarily restore endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis and protect cells.However,if the stress re-sponse is excessive or persistent,ERS can activate apoptosis signaling pathways,such as CHOP and Bax/Bak,worsening cell injury.Additionally,ERS is closely related to other cellular stress responses,such as autophagy and oxidative stress,which jointly affect the survival and death of hepatocytes.Regulation of ERS,especially interventions targeting the three UPR pathways,is considered as a po-tential therapeutic pathway for alleviating hepatic IRI.Pharmacological interventions,such as 4-phenylbutyric acid and taurocholic acid,and gene therapies,such as knocking out PERK or IRE1,have shown positive effects in protecting liver function while inhibiting ERS.This paper reviews the mechanism of action of ERS in hepatic IRI,focuses on the specific roles of the three UPR pathways and their potential as therapeutic targets,and explores the future of re-lated therapeutic strategies.

Objective To explore the application effect of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine for quadratus lumborum block at the lateral supra-arcuate ligament(QLB-LSAL) in open hepatocellular carcinoma resection.Methods A prospective study was conducted in 60 patients who underwent elective open hepatocellular carcinoma resection at Jining First People's Hospital. The patients were randomly divided into the compound group and the control group,with 30 cases in each group. Patients in the compound group received QLB-LSAL combined general anesthesia,and patients in the control group received simple general anesthesia. All patients underwent patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA)postoperatively. The mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores during rest and coughing at different time points were observed and compared between the two groups. The number of postoperative PCIA compressions,the dosage of sufentanil,the first postoperative exhaust time,the first postoperative ambulation time,the hospital stay and the occurrence of adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded. Results In the compound group,the HR and MAP were significantly lower than those of the control group at the time of skin incision (T2) and at the end of surgery (T3);the VAS scores during rest and coughing were significantly lower than those of the control group at the time of exiting the anesthesia recovery room and 6 hours and 12 hours after surgery;and the PCIA compression times were significantly less than those of the control group;the dosage of sufentanil was significantly lower than that in the control group 0 to 24 hours after surgery,and the dosage of sufentanil was higher than that in the control group 25 to 48 hours after surgery;the first postoperative ambulation time and the first postoperative exhaust time were significantly earlier than those in the control group;and the above differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the HR or MAP at 5 minutes into the operating room (T0) and 5 minutes before skin incision (T1),VAS scores during rest and coughing 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery,hospital stay and incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion For patients with open hepatocellular carcinoma resection,dexmedetomidine combined with ropivazine for QLB-LSAL can provide more ideal postoperative analgesia,reduce perioperative opioid consumption,and have less impact on circulatory system,which is conducive to rapid postoperative recovery.

Suhuang Zhike Capsules are widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of respiratory diseases and have been included in Medicine Catalogue for National Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance and National Essential Medicines List. However, problems remain, such as unclear definitions of treatment courses and unidentified contraindications for certain populations. Therefore, this consensus was developed collaboratively by clinical experts in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) related to pulmonary diseases, respiratory, and critical care medicine, as well as methodology and pharmacy experts, adhering strictly to the consensus development procedures established by the China Association of Chinese Medicine for clinical application of Chinese patent medicines, with the aim to guide the correct clinical use of Suhuang Zhike Capsules for the treatment of cough variant asthma, post-infectious cough, and other respiratory diseases. This consensus employed questionnaire surveys and expert interviews to identify clinical concerns based on the PICOS principle and conduct evidence evaluation and GRADE grading. Utilizing nominal group techniques and GRADE networking methods, it resulted in 17 recommendations and consensus suggestions. The consensus further clarifies the indications, TCM syndromes, usage, and clinical safety of Suhuang Zhike Capsules in the treatment of cough variant asthma and post-infectious cough, aiming to promote standardized medication use and facilitate the rational clinical application of Suhuang Zhike Capsules.

OBJECTIVE:
This review summarized the first 10-year progresses and controversies in the concept of anteromedial cortical support reduction, to provide references for further study and clinical applications.
METHODS:
Relevant domestic and foreign literature on cortical support reduction was extensively reviewed to summarize the definition of positive, neutral, and negative support, anteromedial cortices at the inferior corner, intraoperative technical tips for fracture reduction, radiographic assessment at different periods, comparison between positive versus neutral and medial versus anterior support, and the clinical efficacy of Chang reduction quality criteria (CRQC) and postoperative stability score.
RESULTS:
Anteromedial cortical support reduction was only focused on the cortex of anteromedial inferior corner, with no concern the status of lateral wall or lesser trochanter. Anteromedial cortex was seldom involved by fracture comminution, it was thicker, denser, and stronger, and was the key for mechanical buttress of the head-neck fragment to share compression load. Positive, neutral, and negative support were also called "extramedullary, anatomic, and intramedullary reduction", respectively. There was hardly seen parallel cortical apposition, but characterized by some kinds of head-neck rotation, for example 10°-15° flexed rotation for positive cortical contact and support. Due to intraoperative compression and postoperative impaction, the status of cortical support may be changed at different time of radiographic examination. The positive medial cortex support was more reliable with less reduction loss than its neutral counterpart, and the anterior cortex contact was more predictive than the medial cortex for final results. As incorporation the bearing of cortex apposition and using a 4-point score, CRQC demonstrated more efficacy and was gradually accepted and applied in the evaluation of trochanteric fracture reduction quality. Postoperative stability score (8 points) provided a assessment tool for early weight-bearing in safety to prevent mechanical failure.
CONCLUSION
Anteromedial cortical support reduction is a key point for stability reconstruction in the treatment of trochanteric femur fractures. Evidence has definitely shown that non-negative (positive and neutral) is superior to negative (loss of cortical support). There is a tendency that positive cortex support is superior to neutral, but high quality study with large sample size is needed for a clear conclusion.

Objective:To explore the latent profile categories of e-health literacy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:Between March 2023 and August 2024, 210 patients with T2DM attending the Department of Endocrinology of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University were selected for the study using convenience sampling method. The survey was conducted with the General Information Questionnaire, e-Health Literacy Scale (eHEALS) and Family APGAR Questionnaire. The eHEALS scores were modeled and categorized using latent profile analysis. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the latent profile categories of e-health literacy in T2DM patients. A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 203 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.67% (203/210) .Results:The e-HEALS score of 203 patients with T2DM was (12.25±2.95). Three latent profile categories of e-health literacy were identified, including "low application- evaluation decision group" ( n=111), "medium application-low evaluation decision group" ( n=57) ; and "low application-medium evaluation decision group" ( n=35). Logistic regression analysis showed that young age, experience of active internet searching for health information, frequent Internet access, living with children, and high family caring were protective factors for the moderate application-low evaluation decision group, using low application-evaluation decision as a reference ( P<0.05). Young age, use of medical and health mobile applications, living with children, and high family caring were protective factors for the low application-medium evaluation decision group ( P<0.05). Young age, living with children, and high family caring were co-protective factors ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The e-health literacy of elderly patients with T2DM is low and there is population heterogeneity. Young age, living with children, and high family caring are conducive to promoting e-health literacy. Clinical care can be tailored to educate and manage patients according to their characteristics.
