ObjectiveTo explore the pharmacological mechanism involved in the treatment of allergic cough （AC） by Xiaoer Huatan Zhike granules （XEHT） based on proteomics and network pharmacology. MethodsAfter sensitization by intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL suspension containing 2 mg ovalbumin （OVA） and 100 mg aluminum hydroxide， a guinea pig model of allergic cough was constructed by nebulization with 1% OVA. The modeled guinea pigs were randomized into the model， low-， medium- and high-dose （1， 5， 20 g·kg^-1， respectively） XEHT， and sodium montelukast （1 mg·kg^-1） groups （n=6）， and another 6 guinea pigs were selected as the blank group. The guinea pigs in drug administration groups were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage， and those in the blank and model groups received the same volume of normal saline by gavage， 1 time·d^-1. After 10 consecutive days of drug administration， the guinea pigs were stimulated by 1% OVA nebulization， and the coughs were observed. The pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to measure the levels of C-reactive protein （CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and malondialdehyde （MDA） in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） and immunoglobulin G （IgG） and immunoglobulin A （IgA） in the serum. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to observe the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in the lung tissue. Transmission electron microscopy was employed observe the alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cell ultrastructure. Real-time PCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of IL-6， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and TNF-α in the lung tissue. Label-free proteomics was used to detect the differential proteins among groups. Network pharmacology was used to predict the targets of XEHT in treating AC. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis was performed to search for the same pathways from the results of proteomics and network pharmacology. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed increased coughs （P<0.01）， elevated levels of CRP， TNF-α， IL-6， and MDA and lowered level of SOD in the BALF （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated levels of IgA and IgG in the serum （P<0.05， P<0.01）， congestion of the lung tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells， increased expression of IL-6 and TNF-α （P<0.01）， large areas of low electron density edema in type Ⅱ epithelial cells， obvious swelling and vacuolization of the organelles， karyopyknosis or sparse and dissolved chromatin， and up-regulated mRNA levels of IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the drug administration groups showed reduced coughs （P<0.01）， lowered levels of CRP， TNF-α， IL-6， and MDA and elevated level of SOD in the BALF （P<0.05， P<0.01）， alleviated lung tissue congestion， inflammatory cell infiltration， and type Ⅱ epithelial cell injury， and decreased expression of IL-6 and TNF-α （P<0.01）. In addition， the medium-dose XEHT group and the montelukast sodium group showcased lowered serum levels of IgA and IgG （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The medium- and high-dose XEHT groups and the montelukast sodium showed down-regulated mRNA levels of IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α and the low-dose XEHT group showed down-regulated mRNA levels of IL-6 and TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Phospholipase D， mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， and epidermal growth factor receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinase （ErbB） signaling pathways were the common pathways predicted by both proteomics and network pharmacology. ConclusionProteomics combined with network pharmacology reveal that XEHT can ameliorate AC by regulating the phospholipase D， mTOR， and ErbB signaling pathways.

Based on network pharmacology,molecular docking,and experimental validation,this study explored the mechanisms of Geranium wilfordii Maxim(GWM)in the treatment of liver injury.Mice were randomly divided into a control group(CON group),a model group(CCl4 group),a high-dose drug group(GWM-H group),and a low-dose group(GWM-L group).The liv-er injury model in mice was induced by CCl4,and liver tissue pathological morphology was ob-served,along with the measurement of the relative gene expression levels of liver inflammatory factors.Active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and target information of Chinese medi-cine and diseases were obtained through databases such as TCMSP,PubChem,Swiss Target Pre-diction,Super-PRED,Gene Cards,and DisGeNET.Intersecting the targets of liver injury,necropto-sis,and drugs yielded potential drug targets.String database was used for protein-protein interac-tion(PPI)analysis of the potential targets.Furthermore,Cytoscape was utilized to construct a net-work diagram of"drug-disease-active ingredient-intersection target,"Wei Sheng Xin was used for GO and KEGG pathway analysis.Molecular docking was performed using MOE software,and the results of molecular docking were experimentally validated to detect the expression of key targets in the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signaling pathway.Animal experiments showed that compared to the CON group,the CCl4 group of mice exhibited a significant increase in liver organ index(P＜0.05),markedly elevated serum AST activity(P＜0.05),and a highly significant increase in ALT activity(P＜0.01).Pathological examination revealed chaotic liver lobules,severe hepatocyte steatosis,ex-tensive hepatocyte necrosis,and inflammatory cell infiltration in the livers of mice in the CCl4 group.In comparison to the CCl4 group,the GWM-H group showed a significant decrease in liver organ index(P＜0.05),while the GWM-L group displayed a downward trend.The GWM-H group exhibited a significant reduction in serum AST activity(P＜0.05),the GWM-L group showed a decreasing trend in serum AST activity,the GWM-H group demonstrated a highly significant de-crease in serum ALT activity(P＜0.01),and the GWM-L group displayed a significant decrease in serum ALT activity(P＜0.05).Histopathological examination revealed that the drug treatment groups could improve CCl4-induced liver injury,with the GWM-H group showing better efficacy than the GWM-L group.RT-qPCR results of liver tissues showed that compared to the CON group,the CCl4 group exhibited a highly significant increase in the relative expression of IL-1βand PGE2 mRNA(P＜0.01),while the mRNA relative expression of COX2 showed an increasing trend.In contrast,compared to the CCl4 group,the GWM-H group showed a remarkably significant decrease in the relative expression of IL-1βmRNA(P＜0.01),a significant decrease in PGE2 mR-NA expression(P＜0.05),and a decreasing trend in COX2 mRNA expression.Through network pharmacology,56 potential targets related to GWM in ameliorating necroptosis-induced liver injury were identified.Key targets,based on degree value,include TNF,Bcl2,HSP90AA1,and Caspase8,while the key components are quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,and ellagic acid.Functional enrich-ment analysis yielded 2 173 entries for GO and 146 biological pathways for KEGG.Molecular doc-king results indicated a strong binding capacity between the main components of GWM and key targets.RT-qPCR experimental results showed that compared to the CON group,the CCl4 group exhibited a extremely significantly increase in the mRNA relative expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,MLKL(P＜0.01),significantly increase in the mRNA relative expression of FAS,RIPK1,RIPK3 mRNA(P＜0.05),and a significant decrease in Caspase 8 mRNA expression(P＜0.05).The addi-tion of GWM successfully reversed this trend;compared to the CCl4 group,the GWM-H group showed a highly significant decrease in the mRNA relative expression of TNF-α,TNFR1,FAS and MLKL mRNA(P＜0.01),significant decrease in RIPK1,RIPK3 mRNA expression(P＜0.05),and an increasing trend in CASPASE8 mRNA expression.GWM exerts hepatoprotective effects through multiple components and pathways,among which inhibition of the RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL pathway reduces hepatocyte necroptosis,potentially serving as one of the essential mechanisms for its protective effects.

Objective:To establish a method for the rapid detection of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) by recombinase-aid amplification (RAA) combined with Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system.Methods:Clinical samples of suspected herpes zoster in Shandong province and Shanghai from 2023 to 2024 were collected, nucleic acids of positive samples were extracted, RAA-specific primers and crRNA (CRISPR RNA, crRNA) were designed for the conserved region of VZV, and the fluorescence intensity generated by Cas12a non-specific cleavage of single-stranded fluorescent probes was used to screen highly sensitive crRNAs and optimize the concentrations of crRNA, Cas12a and ssDNA probes. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the RAA-CRISPR/Cas12a detection method were evaluated by using synthesized plasmids and clinical samples, and the specificity of the method was evaluated by using other viral nucleic acids.

It has good stability, and can be successfully detected in low, medium and high concentrations of viral positive plasmids with good consistency. The detection rate of the clinically positive samples was 100%, which was completely consistent with the qPCR test result.Conclusions:RAA isothermal amplification technology combined with CRISPR-CAS12a technology was used to establish an accurate method for the detection of VZV virus, which was highly sensitive, specific, and had low requirements for experimental conditions, and could be completed within 45 min, which could provide strong technical support for the early detection of VZV.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the expression of B-cell maturation antigen (CD269) on myeloma cells in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) and evaluate its prognostic value.Methods:The retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 154 NDMM patients admitted to the outpatient clinics and wards of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 23, 2018 to December 25, 2023, including 90 males and 64 females, aged 60(55,66) years old. CD269 phenotype was analyzed using flow cytometry (FCM). Specifically, patients were divided into CD269 positive group (expression>20%, n=103) and CD269 negative group (expression≤20%, n=51) based on the flow cytometry prior to treatment. Initially, we assessed the effect of CD269 expression on progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with NDMM and compared the two groups. Through a cross-sectional analysis, we examined the basic clinical characteristics, 32 laboratory indicators, and 5 cytogenetic indicators. We identified differences between the two groups and analyzed the impact of various indicators on the PFS of patients in both the CD269 positive and negative groups. Furthermore, we employed the Cox proportional hazards regression model to evaluate the influence of CD269 expression and other disease-related indicators on patients′ PFS. Results:Among 154 NDMM patients, 103 were identified as CD269 positive (66.9%), while 51 were CD269 negative (33.1%). No statistically significant differences in clinical indicators were observed between the two groups. The PFS for CD269 positive group was significantly lower than it in the CD269 negative group [28.0(18.0,41.0) months vs 35.0 (27.0, -) months, HR=2.012, 95% CI 1.059-3.824, χ 2=4.554, P=0.033]. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that CD269 positivity and non-IgG subtypes were independent risk factors influencing PFS in NDMM patients( HR=2.395,95% CI 1.152-4.979, P=0.019; HR=0.425,95% CI 0.223-0.810, P=0.009). In the CD269 positive group, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly shortened in patients with>65 years, non-IgG subtypes, International Staging System (ISS) stage Ⅲ, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels≥5.5 mg/L, abnormal t(11;14) or ≥3 cytogenetic abnormalities. Conclusion:CD269 positivity serves as an independent risk factor influencing PFS in NDMM patients. Among the factors examined, older age, non-IgG subtype, ISS stage Ⅲ, elevated serum β2-MG, the presence of an abnormal t(11;14) translocation and≥3cytogenetic abnormalities, significantly impact the PFS of CD269 positive patients.

Objective:To investigate the early right heart function management strategy and prognosis after left ventricular assist device(LVAD) implantation in patients with preoperative right ventricular dysfunction.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. From March 2022 to April 2024, a total of 28 patients with end-stage heart failure underwent LVAD implantation at Nanjing First Hospital and were admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU) after surgery. Among them, patients with preoperative right ventricular dysfunction were enrolled. All patients were implanted with Corheart 6 implantable left ventricular assist device. The clinical data, occurrence of postoperative right heart failure and postoperative survival situations of enrolled patients were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 12 patients were included in this study, including 11 males and 1 female, the mean age was(58.4±7.6) years old. Upon postoperative admission to ICU, the most commonly used positive inotropic agent was epinephrine(9 cases), followed by dobutamine(8 cases). By the second day after surgery, the most frequently utilized vasoactive medications were epinephrine and phosphodiesterase type Ⅲ inhibitors, both with 9 cases of usage. None of the enrolled patients utilized temporary mechanical circulatory assist devices. The LVAD pump speed of the patients enrolled in the study was set at approximately 2 700 revolutions per minute, and the pump flow was approximately 3 liters per minute. During the first two days after the operation, the fluid balance of the enrolled patients ranged from(-523.4±775.6)ml to(-1 248.0±1 023.9)ml. At 48 h following the operation, the mean pulmonary artery pressure(MPAP)[(26.2±4.8) mmHg vs.(32.1±6.5) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.042] and the pulmonary artery wedge pressure(PAWP)[(15.6±5.5)mmHg vs.(24.9±5.9) mmHg, P=0.003) ] of the enrolled patients were significantly decreased compared to preoperative levels, while the cardiac index(CI) was significantly improved[(2.7±0.2)L·min -1·m -2 vs.(2.1±0.5)L·min -1·m -2,P=0.024]. Echocardiography showed that the left atrial diameter(LAD)[(51.5±7.6)mm vs.(57.2±9.0)mm, P=0.005] and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDd)[(73.5±11.5)mm vs.(78.3 ± 12.3)mm, P=0.012) ] were significantly reduced post LVAD implantation as compared to before LVAD implantation, while there was no significant difference in tricuspid annular plane systolic excusion(TAPSE). Postoperative total bilirubin(TBIL) decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels[(15.5±5.0)μmol/L vs.(27.5±17.0)μmol/L, P=0.038]. Three patients experienced right heart failure after the LVAD implantation, with an incidence rate of 25%. Nevertheless, the right heart failure was rectified during the ICU treatment period. The mean ICU treatment time for all enrolled patients was(8.6±2.9) days, the average postoperative hospital stay was(24.3±4.8) days. All enrolled patients survived at 3 months after LVAD implantation. Conclusion:Despite the presence of right ventricular dysfunction in patients before LVAD implantation, with strict fluid management, reasonable LVAD parameters, and appropriate vasoactive drugs, they are able to smoothly pass through the perioperative period, achieve the goals of left ventricular decompression, increase cardiac output, improve perfusion of the end organs, and obtain favorable short-term therapeutic effects.

Objective:To explore the reliability of intraoperative fluoroscopy at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position to assess the quality of articular reduction in calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 74 patients who had been treated at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, The People’s Hospital of Linyi for unilateral closed calcaneal fractures of Sanders type Ⅱ or Ⅲ from January 2024, to August 2024. According to the different methods of intraoperative fluoroscopy, the patients were divided into a precision group and a conventional group. In the precision group of 39 cases, intraoperative fluoroscopy was conducted at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in the surgery for calcaneal fractures in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position; in the conventional group of 35 cases, intraoperative fluoroscopy was conducted only in the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the surgery for calcaneal fractures. All patients were treated by traction assisted by external fixation, minimally invasive prying reduction through the tarsal sinus incision, and three-dimensional framework internal fixation. The 2 groups were compared in terms of frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy; preoperative and postoperative B?hler angles, Gissane angles, and calcaneal varus angles; screw protrusions (more than 2 mm beyond the medial cortex) of the posterior articular surface screw, sustentaculum tali screw, and anterior tuberosity screw; skin irritation symptoms due to the main nail tail (protruding cortex > 1 mm); step-off of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm) and wide gap of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm).Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). Both groups showed significant postoperative improvements in X-ray B?hler angle, Gissane angle, and calcaneal varus angle compared with the preoperative values ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative X-ray B?hler angle, Gissane angle, or calcaneal varus angle between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy between the 2 groups either ( P>0.05). The precision group had significantly fewer cases of screw protrusion (more than 2 mm beyond the medial cortex) of the posterior articular surface screw, sustentaculum tali screw, and anterior tuberosity screw, skin irritation symptoms due to the main screw tail (protruding cortex>1 mm), step-off of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm), and wide gap of the posterior articular surface (more than 2 mm) on the postoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction compared with the conventional group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In surgery for calcaneal fractures of Sanders types Ⅱ and Ⅲ, intraoperative fluoroscopy at lateral 10° and 30° Brodén views in addition to the standard lateral and axial calcaneal views in the lateral decubitus position provides stable and reliable intraoperative monitoring of B?hler angle, Gissane angle, calcaneal varus angle, reduction of the posterior articular surface of the calcaneus and the positions and lengths of implants.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.
