ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect and mechanism of Gegen Qianliantang (GQT) on intestinal mucosal barrier function in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) model mice. MethodsA UC model was established in C57BL/6 mice using a 2.5% DSS solution. Mice were randomly divided into five groups (n=8 per group): blank group, model group, mesalazine sustained-release granule group (0.52 g·kg-1), high-dose GQT group (2.23 g·kg-1), and low-dose GQT group (1.12 g·kg-1). Fecal characteristics and body weight changes were observed before and after treatment. The body weight loss and disease activity index (DAI) of UC mice were calculated to evaluate symptom severity. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Alizarin blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining were used to detect histological changes in colon tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and mucin 2 (MUC2). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-17A, and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Flow cytometry was used to detect the activation of helper T lymphocyte subsets (Th1, Th17), regulatory T cells (Treg), and regulatory B cells (Breg) in spleen and colon tissues. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of T-bet, forkhead box protein P3(FoxP3), nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB p65, phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3), and phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3). ResultsCompared with the model group, both high- and low-dose GQT groups significantly improved the body weight loss and DAI scores (P<0.05), alleviated colonic inflammation, and showed optimal efficacy in the high-dose group. AB-PAS staining showed that compared with the model group, both the high- and low-dose GQT groups significantly increased goblet cell proliferation and mucin secretion, indicating improved mucosal barrier function. GQT upregulated the expression of ZO-1 and MUC2 in colon tissue (P<0.05), suppressed IFN-γ, IL-6, and TNF-α secretion (P<0.05), elevated IL-10 secretion (P<0.05), but had no significant effect on IL-17A. At the same time, high- and low-dose GQT intervention increased the activation of CD4+ FoxP3+ Treg cells (P<0.05) and suppressed activation of CD4+ IFN-γ+ Th1 cells (P<0.05). Western blot showed that GQT downregulated T-bet, NF-κB p65, and STAT3 protein expression (P<0.05), upregulated FoxP3 (P<0.05), and also reduced phosphorylation levels of p-NF-κB p65 and p-STAT3 (P<0.05). ConclusionGQT can upregulate the activation of CD4+ FoxP3+ Treg cells, reduce the activation of CD4+ IFN-γ+ Th1 cells, inhibit the secretion of IFN-γ, IL-6, and TNF-α, and increase the secretion of IL-10. It enhances the expression of MUC2 and ZO-1 in colon tissue, thereby alleviating inflammatory damage to the intestinal mucosa and restoring mucosal barrier integrity. These effects may be related to its regulation of NF-κB p65 and STAT3 signaling pathways, ultimately regulating the activation of transcription factors T-bet and FoxP3.

A case is presented involving a patient with a history of pelvic fracture who experienced progressive difficulty in urination following the removal of a urethral catheter. Attempt to retain the catheter was unsuccessful, leading to an ultrasound-guided suprapubic puncture cystostomy. Subsequently, the patient developed persistent abdominal pain, distension, nausea, and vomiting. Analysis of turbid greyish-yellow thin purulent fluid obtained during abdominal paracentesis indicated the presence of peritonitis. Urgent surgical exploration revealed that the diversion tube had passed through the abdominal cavity and into the bladder. The entire abdominal cavity was filled with yellowish-thin purulent fluid. Intraoperatively, the patient presented with worsening hypotension, tachycardia, oliguria, and decreased skin temperature, suggestive of septic shock resulting from peritonitis. Prompt management, including antimicrobial therapy, hemodynamic support, and fluid resuscitation, successfully controlled the infectious symptoms, leading to complete recovery. In clinical practice, the emphasis is often placed on assessing injuries to intra-abdominal organs, whereas awareness and understanding of peritoneal injuries remain limited. As a result, postoperative peritonitis is frequently attributed solely to intra-abdominal organ damage, overlooking the potentially grave consequences of pure peritoneal injury. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance our recognition and knowledge regarding peritoneal injuries, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of complications.

The mean age of Group A was (29.5±1.2) years (range 18.0-41.0 years), and (26.5±0.8) years (range 20.0-38.0 years) in Group B. The previous operation times was mean (3.6±0.7)(range 2-5 times) and (4.6±0.8)(range 3-5 times) in Group A and Group B respectively. Operation method: All patients were nasally intubated, the remaining curvature was corrected, the fibrous tissue or scar was removed, and the defected urethra was measured. In Group A, the lingual mucosa was spread and fixed to the corpora cavernosa over the midline as the urethral plate, the buccal mucosa was covered the lingual mucosa as ventral urethra, both the mucosa lateral edges was sutured. In Group B, the lingual mucosa was harvested and fixed to the corpora cavernosa the same as in Group A, the ADM was made appropriate length and width, covered and sutured with the lingual mucosa. The lingual mucosa was harvested mean (5.0±0.2)cm(range 4-6cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm (range 1.0-1.5cm)wide and mean (5.0±0.2)cm(range 5-6cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm (range 1.0-1.5cm)wide in Group A and Group B respectively( P<0.05). In Group A, the buccal mucosa was harvested mean (4.1±0.2)cm(range 3.5-5.5cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm wide. Criteria for successful repair of hypospadias were set as: ①The appearance of the penis is nearly normal; ②The penis curvature was corrected; ③Urethra orifice in normal position; ④Urine flow line is normal. The outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared, statistical analysis was done using SPSS 18.0 software. Results:The mean follow-up time was (16.3±1.6)(8-24) months. The age, number of preoperative surgeries, number of previous oral mucous membranes, and length of urethral defects were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in A and B( P>0.05). The length of oral mucosa was harvested during the operation between group A and Group B were statistically significant differences( P<0.05). The incidence of oral complications in group A and B: Oral pain 7/14, 1/12; The feeling of tension in mouth 8/14, 1/12; The numbness in the oral 8/14, 1/12, A and Group B were statistically significant differences( P<0.05). The incidence of urethral complications in group A and Group B: the urethra fistula 1/14, 4/12; the urethral stricture 2/14, 6/12, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Penile curvature 2/14, 1/12, ( P>0.05). The success rate was 12/14 and 5/12 in Group A and B respectively, with statistical difference( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combined lingual mucosal graft with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty could be a good choice for repeated failed hypospadias repairs. Combined lingual mucosal graft with ADM urethroplasty has many complications and less success, should be performed in caution.
