ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of Modified Yupingfeng Nasal Spray (玉屏风加味鼻喷剂, MYNS) on nasal mucosal tissue remodeling in allergic rhinitis (AR) model rats based on the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/ signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. MethodsThe chemical constituents of MYNS were identified and analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Network pharmacology and molecular docking were integrated to identify the potential targets and signaling pathways of MYNS in the treatment of AR, and to verify the crucial role of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Forty rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, MYNS group, and mometasone furoate nasal spray group, with 10 rats per group. Except for the blank group, the AR rat model was established by ovalbumin (OVA) induction. After successful modeling, rats in the MYNS group received an intranasal instillation of 50 μl of MYNS at concentration of 1.05 g·ml-¹ in each nostril, while the mometasone furoate nasal spray group received 50 μl of corresponding spray per nostril, and the model group received 50 μl of normal saline per nostril. Treatments were administered once daily. After 14 consecutive days of intervention, the frequencies of nosal scratching and sneezing in rats within 15 minutes were recorded. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess morphological changes in the nasal mucosa and perform pathological scoring. Masson staining was used to evaluate collagen fiber deposition in nasal mucosal tissue and calculate the collagen volume fraction (CVF). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining was performed to detect apoptosis in nasal mucosal cells and record the number of apoptotic cells. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin (E-Cad) in the nasal mucosa. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the serum levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), histamine (HIS), immunoglobulin E (IgE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of mitochondria in nasal mucosal epithelial cells. Flow cytometry was used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Western Blot was used to determine the protein expression levels of collagen Ⅲ (Collagen Ⅲ), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), Caspase-3, JAK2, phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2), STAT3, and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3). ResultsA total of 626 chemical constituents were identified by LC-MS/MS. Network pharmacology screening identified 450 active ingredients. Nine intersecting components and 39 drug-AR intersecting targets were obtained. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated the involvement of signaling pathways including JAK2/STAT3. The animal experimental results showed that, compared with the blank group, rats in the model group exhibited significantly increased frequencies of nasal scratching and sneezing, as well as elevated CVF and the number of apoptotic cells, while the levels of E-Cad, MMP, and serum IFN-γ and SOD significantly decreased; meanwhile, the serum levels of IL-4, IgE, HIS, ROS, and MDA, along with the protein expression levels of Collagen Ⅲ, α-SMA, Bax, Caspase-3, p-JAK2, and p-STAT3 in the nasal mucosa, significantly increased (P<0.05), accompanied by aggravated pathological damage in the nasal mucosa, increased collagen fiber deposition, and abnormal mitochondrial morphology. Compared to the model group, rats in the MYNS group showed improvements in all the aforementioned indicators except for HIS (P<0.05), and those in the mometasone furoate nasal spray group showed improvements in all indicators except for IL-4, IgE, and SOD levels (P<0.05). ConclusionThe mechanism of MYNS in treating AR may be related to inhibiting the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, reducing inflammatory responsesand oxidative stress, ameliorating mitochondrial damage, and suppressing nasal mucosal cell apoptosis, thereby improving nasal mucosal tissue pathological remodeling.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Qidan Yifei Tongqiao granules (QDYF) alleviate nasal mucosal remodeling in allergic rhinitis (AR) via the interleukin-33 (IL-33)/growth stimulation expressed gene 2 (ST2)/interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP) signaling pathway from the perspective of Qi-replenishing and blood-activating therapy. MethodsFirst, according to the previous network pharmacology results, this study predicted the potential mechanisms of QDYF in treating AR by screening key pathways, components, and targets. Molecular docking was performed via AutoDock and PyMOL 2.5.5. Subsequently, a rat model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR was used for validation through in vivo experiments. Forty-eight rats were assigned into 6 groups: Control, model, low-dose QDYF (QDYF-L, 4.04 g·kg-1), medium-dose QDYF (QDYF-M, 8.08 g·kg-1), high-dose QDYF (QDYF-H, 16.16 g·kg-1), and loratadine (0.9 mg·kg-1). After 14 days of intervention, behavioral scores of the rats were observed. The morphological changes of nasal mucosa tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Masson staining was used to observe collagen fiber deposition in the nasal mucosal tissue and to calculate the collagen volume fraction (CVF). The expression of E-cadherin (E-cad) in the nasal mucosa tissue was detected by immunofluorescence. The serum levels of helper T cell 2 (Th2) cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5), and interleukin-13 (IL-13) as well as helper T cell 1 (Th1) cytokines interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-γ (INF-γ) were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), IL-33, ST2, and IL-1RAP in the nasal mucosa tissue were determined by Western blot. ResultsIL-33, ST2, and IL-1RAP had strong binding ability with the main active ingredients—wogonin, 7-methoxy-2-methylisoflavone, formononetin, naringenin, stigmasterol, and beta-sitosterol of QDYF, with the binding energy < -4.25 kcal⋅mol-1(1 cal≈4.184 J). The results of in vivo experiments showed that compared with the control group, the model group exhibited increased behavioral scores (P<0.05), aggravated pathological damage of nasal mucosa, increased collagen fiber deposition and CVF (P<0.05), elevated serum levels of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, up-regulated protein levels of TGF-β1, IL-33, ST2, and IL-1RAP in the nasal mucosa (P<0.05), down-regulated expression of E-cad, and declined serum levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the QDYF groups and loratadine group showed reduced behavioral scores (P<0.05), alleviated pathological damage of nasal mucosa, reduced collagen fiber deposition and CVF (P<0.05), and up-regulated E-cad expression (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the QDYF-H group and the loratadine group showed raised levels of INF-γ and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio (P<0.05), declined serum levels of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, and down-regulated protein levels of TGF-β1, IL-33, ST2, and IL-1RAP in the nasal mucosa (P<0.05). In addition, the QDYF-H group exhibited an elevated serum IL-2 level (P<0.05). The QDYF-M group showed down-regulated protein levels of TGF-β1, IL-33 and IL-1RAP in the nasal mucosa (P<0.05). The QDYF-L group demonstrated a down-regulated protein level of ST2 in the nasal mucosa (P<0.05). ConclusionQDYF may regulate the Th1/Th2 balance through the IL-33/ST2/IL-1RAP signaling pathway, thereby ameliorating nasal mucosal tissue remodeling and alleviating AR.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effectiveness of delayed replantation of degloving skin preserved at 4℃ in treatment of limb degloving injuries.
METHODS:
Between October 2020 and October 2023, 12 patients with limb degloving injuries were admitted. All patients had severe associated injuries or poor wound conditions that prevented primary replantation. There were 7 males and 5 females; age ranged from 29 to 46 years, with an average of 39.2 years. The causes of injury included machine entanglement in 6 cases, traffic accidents in 5 cases, and sharp instrument cuts in 1 case. Time from injury to hospital admission was 0.5-3.0 hours, with an average of 1.3 hours. Injury sites included upper limbs in 7 cases and lower limbs in 5 cases. The range of degloving skin was from 5 cm×4 cm to 15 cm×8 cm, and all degloving skins were intact. The degloving skin was preserved at 4℃. After the patient's vital signs became stable and the wound conditions improved, it was trimmed into medium-thickness skin grafts for replantation. The degloving skin was preserved for 3 to 7 days. At 4 weeks after replantation, the viability of the degloving skin grafts was assessed, including color, elasticity, and sensation of pain. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to assess the scars of the skin grafts during follow-up.
RESULTS:
At 4 weeks after replantation, 8 cases of skin grafts completely survived and the color was similar with normal skin, with a survival rate of 66.67%. The elasticity of skin grafts (R0 value) ranged from 0.09 to 0.85, with an average of 0.55; moderate pain was reported in 4 cases, mild pain in 3 cases, and no pain in 5 cases. All patients were followed up 12 months. Over time, the VSS scores of all 12 patients gradually decreased, with a range of 4-11 at 12 months (mean, 6.8).
CONCLUSION
For limb degloving injuries that cannot be replanted immediately and do not have the conditions for deep low-temperature freezing preservation, the method of preserving the degloving skin at 4℃ for delayed replantation can be chosen.

Objective:To investigate the effect of tourniquet-reperfusion augmented infrared thermography(TRAIRT) on locating the dominant perforator to assist design of free medial sural artery perforator flap.Methods:The data of patients with skin soft tissue defect of upper limb repaired by free medial sural artery perforator flap in Department of Hand Surgery, Ningbo Sixth Hospital from May 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) and TRAIRT were used to locate the dominant perforator auxiliary flap design before surgery and after anesthesia. In the TRAIRT video, the hot spot with "early emergence, high brightness and fast expansion" was selected as the advantageous perforator. During the operation, the flap was elevated and transferred to the affected area to cover the defect wound according to the designed mark points, and fixed by the absorbable sutures with an interrupted suturing method, then end-to-end vascular anastomosis was performed successively. The donor area was sutured directly or sutured with full thickness skin grafts depending on the area of the wound. The donor and recipient areas of the flap were observed and the patients’ satisfaction was recorded. The gold standard was the actual location of the perforating vessel found during the operation. Compared with the gold standard, the location of the perforating vessel explored by TRAIRT and CDU was considered to be accurate (positive) if the distance was less than 10 mm. The sensitivity (accurate number of perforators/actual number of perforators during operation ×100%) and positive predictive value (accurate number of perforators/total number of perforators×100%) of the two methods were calculated, expressed as %, and the sensitivity of the two methods was compared by paired χ2 test. Kappa coefficient was used to analyze the consistency of the two methods to detect perforating vessels. The perforator detection time of TRAIRT and CDU were recorded, expressed as Mean±SD, and statistically analyzed by paired sample t-test. Results:A total of 23 patients were included, consisting of 14 males and 9 females, agd 21-70 years old, average age of 43 years old. The wounds were on forearm in 5 cases, wrist in 2 cases, and hand in 16 cases. The wound area was 4.5 cm × 5.5 cm-6.5 cm × 12.0 cm. Intraoperative flap incision area was 5.0 cm × 6.0cm-7.0 cm × 13.0 cm. After operation, 22 cases of flaps survived, 1 case had superficial necrosis at the distal end, which healed after repeated dressing change. The donor area of flaps healed well, with primary suture in 20 cases and full thickness skin grafting in 3 cases. Postoperative follow-up was 5-16 months (mean 8.4 months). The flaps had no bulge, swelling and abrasion. The texture and color were similar to the medial calf skin, and the scars in the donor and recipient areas were not obvious. The patients were satisfied with the recovery. Among the 23 patients, 49 perforators were found by TRAIRT, 50 perforators were found by CDU, and 53 perforators were found intraoperatively. The sensitivity of TRAIRT and CDU was 88.7% (47/53) and 90.6% (48/53), with no significant differences ( P>0.05), and the positive prediction value was 95.9% (47/49) and 96.0% (48/50) respectively. The Kappa coefficient was 0.89, indicating a good consistency between the two methods. The time required for TRAIRT to detect perforators was significantly shorter than that of CDU, with statistical significance [(6.52±2.02) min vs. (17.87±2.49) min, P<0.01]. Conclusion:TRAIRT has a good consistency with CDU in detection of medial sural artery perforator. The application of TRAIRT in designing medial sural artery perforator flap for wound repair is good, and it has advantages of short time taking, simple operation, economy and non-invasiveness.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and pharmacoeconomic evaluation of bevacizumab or cetuximab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 68 patients with advanced colorectal cancer from January 2018 to December 2020 in Baotou Tumor Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 40 patients with treated with bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy (bevacizumab group), 28 patients were treated with cetuximab combined with chemotherapy (cetuximab group), and the chemotherapy of two group was FOLFOX/FOLFIRI program. The short-term clinical efficacy, adverse reactions and pharmacoeconomic evaluation result were compared between two groups.Results:There were no statistical differences in effective rate and disease control rate between bevacizumab group and cetuximab group: 30.00% (12/40) vs. 28.57% (8/28) and 67.5% (27/40) vs. 60.71% (17/28), P>0.05. The incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ grade erythra in bevacizumab group was significantly lower than that in cetuximab group: 2.50% (1/40) vs. 71.43% (20/28), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the incidences of Ⅲ to Ⅳ grade bone marrow suppression, nausea vomiting, hepatic functional lesion and diarrhea between two groups ( P>0.05). The pharmacoeconomic evaluation result showed that the cost of monoclonal antibody and total cost in bevacizumab group were significantly lower than those in cetuximab group: (9 009 ± 1 500) yuan vs. (27 840 ± 2 202) yuan and (11 242 ± 1 731) yuan vs. (29 867 ± 3 002) yuan, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); the cost-effectiveness ratio in bevacizumab group was 37 473.3, and it in cetuximab group was 104 430.1, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of two programs was 11 640.6. Conclusions:In the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, the efficacy of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy is similar to that of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy, but bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy has lower costs and fewer adverse reactions, so bevacizumab is more economical and applicable.

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2023;64(17):1745-1749
This paper summarized professor ZHANG Lei′s experience in treating scleroderma from “extraordinary pathogens entering collaterals”. The basic pathogenesis of scleroderma is “extraordinary pathogens entering the collaterals”, and extraordinary pathogens can be divided into external and internal categories. External extraordinary pathogens are mostly exogenous wind, cold and damp pathogens, and the pathogenesis is wind, cold and damp invading skin stria and retaining collaterals. Most of the endogenous extraordinary pathogens are turbid phlegm and blood stasis, and the pathogenesis is endogenous phlegm and stasis leaving the channels and overflowing the collaterals, and blocking the collaterals. Blocked by extraordinary pathogens for a long time, the long illness will lead to deficiency and develop into a syndrome of collaterals excess and channels deficiency. Therefore, professor ZHANG creats Tengluo Beverage (藤络饮) as the basic formula to unblock collaterals and dispel pathogens, and recommends to add or subtract it according to the different syndrome and pathogenic characteristics of the edema stage, sclerosis stage, and atrophy stage. In the edema stage, it is advised to expel wind, remove dampness and unblock the collaterals, while in the sclerosis stage, the method of dissolving phlegm, expelling stasis and unblocking collaterals should be used; in the atrophic stage, it is suggested to differentiate the deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang, and eliminate extraordinary pathogens on the basis of reinforcing healthy qi .
