Objective:To establish a method for determination of two derivatives of cyanide in biomaterials by headspace gas chromatography mass spectrometry.Methods:In February 2024, blood and urine samples were placed in headspace sampling vials. Phosphoric acid, or phosphoric acid and chloramine T solution, was added respectively to derivatize cyanide into hydrogen cyanide or cyanogen chloride. After equilibrating at 80°C for 15 minutes, headspace sampling was performed. The samples were separated by a GS-GasPro chromatographic column and determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Qualitative analysis was conducted using both retention time and the ratio of characteristic ions, and quantitative analysis was carried out by the external standard method.Results:The correlation coefficients (r) for the two derivatives was 0.9992 and 0.9984, respectively. The detection limits was 0.10 μg/ml and 0.05 μg/ml, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 73.7% to 98.4%, with precision (RSD) ranging from 3.3% to 14.2%.Conclusion:The method offers the advantages of simple operation, precise quantification, high qualitative reliability, and high sensitivity, making it suitable for cyanide detection in biological materials.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of Gongxuening Capsules in reducing post-abortion bleeding following artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind study was conducted. From May 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, 484 women who underwent vacuum aspiration abortion for early intrauterine pregnancy were enrolled in 11 centers and randomly assigned to control group and the study group at a 1∶1 ratio using a center-block randomization method. Control group were administered a placebo of Gongxuening Capsules for 9 d, while the study group received the actual Gongxuening Capsules for the same duration. The outcomes measured included vaginal bleeding volume, duration of vaginal bleeding, endometrial thickness, time to menstrual recovery, and complications.Results:1) A total of 484 subjects were enrolled, and 472 completed the study. Totally 450 subjects were included in the efficacy analysis set, with 224 in control group and 226 in the study group; 468 subjects were included in the safety analysis set, with 236 in control group and 232 in the study group. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable (all P>0.05). 2) The vaginal bleeding volume was lower in the study group [(13.30±12.14) mL] than in control group [(19.00±17.67) mL, P<0.001]. The proportion of subjects in the study group with bleeding days less than 4 d [29.65% (67/226)] was higher than that in control group [19.20% (43/224), P=0.010]. 3) No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of time to menstrual recovery and endometrial thickness (all P>0.05). 4) In the study group, 3 subjects experienced non-therapeutic-related complications, while 11 subjects in control group. The incidence of complications was lower in the study group [1.29% (3/232)] than in control group [4.66% (11/236), P=0.033]. Conclusion:The administration of Gongxuening Capsules to women following artificial abortion significantly reduced vaginal bleeding volume and was associated with good safety, with the treatment being well-tolerated by the subjects.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of self-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (SCH) gel on endometrium recovery after artificial abortion.Methods:A multicenter, prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted across 18 hospitals from December 2021 to February 2023, involving 382 women who underwent artificial abortion. Participants were randomly allocated to receive either treatment with SCH gel (SCH group) or no treatment (control group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The primary outcome was endometrium thickness in 14 to 18 days after the first postoperative menstruation. Secondary outcomes included changes in menstrual volume during the first postoperative menstruation, menstruation resumption within 6 postoperative weeks, time to menstruation resumption, duration of the first postoperative menstruation, and incidence of dysmenorrhea.Results:Baseline characteristics of participants were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05), with 95.3% (182/191) in SCH group and 92.7% (177/191) in the control group completed the study. The postoperative endometrial thickness in SCH group was significantly greater than that in the control group [(9.78±3.15) vs (8.95±2.32) mm; P=0.005]. SCH group also had significantly fewer participants with reduced menstrual volume [23 cases (12.6%, 23/182) vs 31 cases (17.5%, 31/177); P=0.038]. Although SCH group experienced less dysmenorrhea during the first postoperative menstrual period, this difference was not statistically significant [28.5% (51/179) vs 37.1% (65/175); P=0.083]. Outcomes were similar between SCH group and the control group regarding the proportion of participants who resumed menstruation within 6 weeks postoperatively, time to menstruation resumption, and duration of the first postoperative menstruation ( P=0.792, 0.485, and 0.254, respectively). No serious adverse events were observed during the study period, and no adverse events were attributed to SCH gel treatment. Conclusion:The application of SCH gel after artificial abortion is safe and might aid in the recovery of the endometrium.

Objective:To investigate the accuracy of resting energy expenditure(REE)prediction formulas and to develop a new REE prediction formula suitable for hospitalized older adults.Methods:Older adults hospitalized in the Department of Geriatrics from October 1, 2022, to November 31, 2022, were included in the study.The predicted values of REE(pREE)were estimated using 13 commonly employed formulas that incorporate parameters related to resting energy expenditure, such as gender, age, body mass index(BMI), and body weight.Indirect calorimetry measurements(mREE)served as the gold standard for comparison.Group differences between pREE and mREE, the coefficient of concordance( ICC), and accuracy(defined as±10% of the mREE values)were utilized to evaluate the performance of the formulas.The ten-fold cross-validation method was employed to identify valid variables and to construct a new prediction formula.The performance of this new formula was compared to mREE, the Harris-Benedict formula, the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(ESPEN)formula, and the Chinese Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism(CSPEN)formula. Results:A total of 223 hospitalized participants aged 60 to 98 years(mean age 79.5±8.2 years)were included in the study.Among these participants, 49.3%(110 cases)were male, and the prevalence of frailty was approximately 84.3%(188 cases).The median difference between pREE and mREE ranged from 9.1 to 232.1 kcal/d.The predictions from the Harris-Benedict, ESPEN, and CSPEN equations differed significantly from mREE(all P<0.05), with respective accuracies of 30.9%, 31.4%, and 24.7%.A new equation was developed: pREE=794.847+ 8.661×body weight -7.976 × age+ 14.757 ×grip strength+ 5.037 × heart rate, with an ICC of 0.6(95% CI: 0.5-0.7), and the accuracy reached 56.3%. Conclusions:Existing equations demonstrate low accuracy in predicting REE among hospitalized older adults.The newly developed equation shows improved performance compared to previous models and can serve as a reference method for predicting REE in this demographic.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.
