Objective To explore the effect of metformin combined with insulin detemir on intestinal flora in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 176 patients with GDM admitted to Luzhou People39;s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a single drug group and a combined group, with 88 cases in each group. The single drug group was treated with insulin detemir, and the combined group was given metformin combined with insulin detemir. The glucose metabolism levels and intestinal flora distribution were compared between the two groups before treatment and during delivery. The maternal-infant outcomes were statistically analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results During delivery, the levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), and largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE), and the contents of Enterobacterium, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli in both groups were reduced compared with those before treatment, and the above indicators in the combined group were lower than those in the single drug group (all P<0.05). The contents of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus were increased in both groups, and the indicators were higher in the combined group than those in the single drug group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse maternal-infant outcomes between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Metformin combined with insulin detemir can effectively reduce blood glucose levels and improve intestinal flora distribution in patients with GDM, without increasing adverse maternal-infant outcomes.

Objective To explore the characteristics of blood lipid metabolism indicators and risk factors of prognosis in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A total of 54 children who were diagnosed with SLE and hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children’ s Central Hospital from January 2013 to August 2022 were selected. Clinical data of all children were collected and blood lipid metabolism indicators and biochemical indicators were detected , and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the prognosis risk factors in children with SLE. Results Among the 47 cases (87.04%) had abnormal blood lipid metabolism at admission, and is mainly manifested as elevated levels of LDL-C, TG and TC and decreased level of HDL-C. The proportion of cardiovascular system damage, hematological system damage, urinary protein positivity, and SLEDAI-2000 score in the group with good prognosis were lower than those in the group with poor prognosis, while the proportion of dsDNA positivity was higher in the group with poor prognosis. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein were risk factors for poor prognosis, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal blood lipid metabolism is common in children with SLE, and cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein may increase the risk of poor prognosis in young children.

Objective To compare clinical effects of enlarged thymectomy for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG) complicated with thymoma via subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic resection versus median sternotomy resection. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with MG complicated with thymoma admitted in Tangdu Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University between December 2011 and December 2021. Patients who underwent subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic enlarged thymectomy were allocated to a SR group, and patients who underwent median sternotomy enlarged thymectomy were allocated to a MR group. Perioperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 456 patients were collected. There were 51 patients in the MR group, including 30 males and 21 females aged 23-66 (49.5±11.8) years. There were 405 patients in the SR group, among whom 51 patients were matched to the MR group by propensity score matching, including 28 males and 23 females aged 26-70 (47.2±12.2) years. The operations were accomplished successfully in all patients, and no conversion to thoracotomy occurred in the SR group. The SR group had advantages in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, chest drainage duration, hospital stay time, patients’ satisfaction level, pain score and complications (all P<0.05). No statistical difference was found in the number of intraoperative lymph node dissection stations, number of intraoperative lymph nodes dissected or remission of MG between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic enlarged thymectomy and lymphadenectomy is a safe, effective and feasible minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of MG complicated with thymoma.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the heart-nourishing granule extraction process by network pharmacology and Box-Behnken response surface method. METHODS The active ingredients of heart-nourishing granule were excavated through network pharmacology and their mechanism of action in the treatment of coronary heart disease was preliminarily explored. Molecular docking technology was used to predict the binding ability of the active ingredients to the main targets. At the same time, based on the compatibility relationship between the monarch, minister, assistant and guide of the prescription, the pharmacological effects of the ingredients, and the content determination index components of each medicinal flavor in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the process evaluation index components of heart-nourishing granule were further determined. In addition, combined with the analytic hierarchy process to determine the weight of each component, the Box-Behnken response surface method was used to optimize the extraction process of heart-nourishing granule. RESULTS The main active components of heart-nourishing granule screened were catalpol, Rhmannioside D, acteoside, ferulic acid and lobetyolin. By acting on core targets such as AKT1, IL-6, IL-1b, VEGFA, JUN and MAPK3, they regulated lipid and atherosclerosis, MAPK signaling and other pathways played a role in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Molecular docking results showed that the binding energies of active components and core targets predicted by network pharmacology were all < -5.0 kJ·mol-1. Five components catalpol, Rhmannioside D, acteoside, ferulic acid and lobetyolin were calculated by analytic hierarchy process method. The weight coefficients of arginyl glycosides were 0.329 7, 0.329 7, 0.164 8, 0.109 9, and 0.065 9, respectively. The Box-Behnken response surface method obtained the optimal water extraction process: 10 times the amount of water was used to extract twice, and each time was decocted for 1.5 h. The verification test showed that the contents of the five components were consistent with the predicted values, and the RSD values were all <5%. CONCLUSION The extraction process of heart-nourishing granule based on network pharmacology and Box-Behnken response surface methodology is stable and feasible, which provided an experimental basis for its further quality improvement.
