The contents of the female inguinal hernia include abdominal organs such as ovaries and fallopian tubes, and most of these are the result of sliding hernias. However, it is worth noting for surgeons specialized in hernia and abdominal wall surgery that there is a rare clinical diagnosis of hernia uterine inguinale, which is commonly seen in the Müllerian anomaly. Combined with relevant research progress at home and abroad, as well as the clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with inguinal uterine hernia caused by Müllerian duct anomaly, the authors systematically introduce the clinical manifes-tations, key diagnosis and treatment points of female Müllerian duct anomaly in the inguinal region.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnetic resonance-guided modified ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract in the treatment of deep anorectal abscess.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 148 patients with deep anorectal abscess treated at our hospital from September 2019 to June 2023,who met the inclusion criteria.Of these,51 patients in the observation group underwent modified LIFT,while 97 patients in the control group received incision and drainage.Using propensity score matching,47 patients from each group with balanced baseline characteristics were selected,resulting in a total of 94 patients being included in the analysis.The study compared operation time,hospital stay,pain index,postoperative complications,anal function,and healing rate between the two groups.Results Primary lesions originating in the sphincter space were identified through preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in all 94 patients.The mean operation time for the observation group was(43.75±11.77)minutes,significantly longer than that of the control group at(28.90±8.67)minutes(P<0.05).At three months post-surgery,the healing rate in the observation group was 80.9%,which was signifi-cantly higher than the 57.4%observed in the control group(P<0.05).Among patients with fistulas in the observation group,the healing rate was 73.1%,although this difference was not statistically significant in the univariate analysis of clinical characteristics(P>0.05).No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the length of hospital stay,pain index,postoperative complications,or anal function(all P>0.05).Conclusions Modified LIFT guided by MRI can be conditionally applied in the treatment of deep anorectal abscesses.This approach can enhance the initial surgical healing rate without significantly increasing the incidence of postoperative complications,thereby avoiding potential damage to anal function.

Aim To determine the effects of Shengjiang Powder on gastric mucosal injury and ex-plore its mechanisms.Methods A bibliometric study was conducted to understand the current research status of Shengjiang Powder.The main pharmacological com-ponents of Shengjiang Powder were obtained using liq-uid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS),and mechanisms were predicted through network pharma-cology analysis.Sprague-Dawley Rats with gastric mu-cosal injury were treated with Vatacoenayme and differ-ent doses of Shengjiang Powder by intragastric adminis-tration.Gastric tissues were collected and stained with HE to observe morphological changes.ELISA was used to detect the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum.IHC was used to evaluate the expression of MUC5AC and MUC6 in the gastric mucosa.Results Bibliometric a-nalysis indicated that Shengjiang Powder is widely used in the treatment of various internal and external inju-ries.LC-MS identified the top 20 compounds as the main pharmacological components of Shengjiang Pow-der,yielding 525 target compounds,of which 129 o-verlapped with gastritis-related targets.GO analysis i-dentified 2,127 entries,and KEGG analysis identified 140 pathways,suggesting that Shengjiang Powder might improve gastric mucosal injury through multiple targets and pathways.HE staining results demonstrated that Shengjiang Powder could significantly improve gas-tric mucosal inflammation in rats.ELISA results showed that Shengjiang Powder effectively reduced the levels of TNF-α and IL-1 β in rat serum.IHC results indicated that Shengjiang Powder effectively downregu-lated MUC5AC expression and upregulated MUC6 ex-pression.Conclusion Shengjiang Powder can im-prove gastric mucosal injury by alleviating inflammation and regulating the surface mucus barrier.

Objective:To investigate the association of Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) with arterial stiffness progression.Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study, which included participants who completed at least 1 measurement of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) between 2010 and 2016, with complete physical examination data during the same period, and completed baPWV measurement during follow-up. The time of completing the first baPWV measurement was defined as the baseline. All participants were divided into 4 groups according to quartiles of baseline CVAI (<60.84, 60.84-89.67, 89.68-117.45,≥117.46). The baPWV progression was calculated (baPWV progression=(baPWV follow-up-baPWV baseline)/duration of follow-up). We assessed the association of CVAI groups with baPWV progression using multivariate linear regression models. Results:A total of 17 261 participants were included. Of these, the age was (47.6±11.6) years, and 11 285 (65.38%) were males. The results of multivariate linear regression models showed that compared with the CVAI<60.84 group, the baPWV at baseline increased by 39.62 cm/s (95% CI 28.57-50.67, P<0.01) in the 60.84-89.67 group, 76.37 cm/s (95% CI 64.71-88.04, P<0.01) in the 89.68-117.45 group, and 92.83 cm/s (95% CI 80.53-105.14, P<0.01) in the≥117.46 group. The median follow-up time was 2.49 years. Compared with the CVAI<60.84 group, annual change of baPWV progression increased by 17.17 cm/s (95% CI 10.36-23.97, P<0.01) in the 60.84-89.67 group, 24.59 cm/s (95% CI 17.38-31.80, P<0.01) in the 89.68-117.45 group, and 25.75 cm/s (95% CI 18.13-33.36, P<0.01) in the ≥117.46 group. Conclusion:Higher CVAI is closely associated with the progression of arterial stiffness, and the arterial stiffness progression accelerates with increased CVAI.

Diabetic foot (DF) is one of the most serious chronic complications of diabetes. The incidence rate among global diabetes patients is as high as 15% to 25%, and about 50% of patients will develop contralateral foot ulcers within 5 years after the first unilateral ulcer. As a non-invasive prevention and control solution, the application progress of functional insoles is mainly reflected in the following aspects:(1) Material innovation. The application of new composite materials and smart materials has significantly enhanced the pressure reduction effect and comfort. (2) Structural optimization. The development of multi-layer design and local pressure reduction structure has achieved more precise pressure distribution regulation. (3) Manufacturing process. 3D printing and parametric design have enabled the personalized customization of functional insoles. (4) Intelligent monitoring. It integrates functions such as pressure sensing and temperature monitoring, achieving real-time monitoring and early warning of foot conditions. Clinical research has confirmed that personalized functional insoles could reduce the incidence of foot ulcers and shorten the healing time of ulcers. At present, the research hotspots mainly focus on the development of smart materials, the construction of multi-functional integration and remote monitoring systems. However, in-depth research is still needed in the aspects of biomechanical mechanisms, standardized evaluation systems and long-term efficacy assessment. The development of future functional insoles should focus on the coordinated advancement of "personalization-intelligence-standardization", with the aim of providing more effective solutions for the prevention and treatment of DF.
