Background and aims:Promoting gastrointestinal function recovery is one of the key aspects of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)for colorectal cancer(CRC).Many ancient Chinese medical texts suggest that acupuncture at four acupoints—Zusanli,Shangjuxu,Sanyinjiao,and Neiguan—helps promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.However,there is currently no systematic study on multi-point acupuncture to promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery in CRC patients.Therefore,this study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of multi-point acupuncture in promoting gastrointestinal function recovery in CRC patients through a prospective study to provide new options for implementing ERAS in CRC patients in clinical practice. Methods:Using a prospective,randomized,controlled design,a total of 100 eligible patients who underwent laparoscopic CRC radical surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University,between January 2021 and February 2022,were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 50 patients in each group.Both groups underwent the same ERAS protocols and radical surgery during the perioperative period.The observation group received acupuncture treatment from the day of surgery to the third postoperative day,once per day,while the control group did not receive acupuncture.Primary outcomes included the time to bowel sound recovery,time to first flatus,and time to first defecation.Secondary outcomes included abdominal pain scores,incidence of bloating,nausea,vomiting,white blood cell count,neutrophil percentage,C-reactive protein,hemoglobin,serum albumin,blood potassium levels,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications. Results:A total of 96 patients completed the study,with 48 in each group.There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics such as age,gender,or surgery time between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had a significantly shorter time for bowel sound recovery,first flatus,first defecation,and postoperative hospital stay(all P＜0.05).Additionally,the observation group showed reduced abdominal pain scores on postoperative day(POD)2 and 3,a lower incidence of bloating on POD 1 and 2,and a reduced incidence of nausea and vomiting on POD 3(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the remaining comparisons between the two groups(all P＞0.05). Conclusion:Multi-point acupuncture treatment can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing minimally invasive CRC surgery without increasing postoperative complications,and it is recommended for integration into routine ERAS protocols.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Curcumol on the malignant biological characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)cells and its molecular mechanism,and to provide theoretical and experimental evidence for the anti-leukemia treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:After the AML cell lines HL-60 and KG-1 cells were treated different concentrations of with Curcumol.The proliferation activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method,and the expression changes of apoptotic proteins and PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot. Real-time quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR ) was used to detect the expression of Caspase family mRNA.Results:Curcumol could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HL-60 and KG-1 cells,promote apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of Bax and down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 protein (P<0.05).When Curcumol interferes with HL-60 and KG-1 cells,it can also induce programmed cell death of AML by inhibiting PI3 K/AKT signaling pathway.In addition,after the intervention of Curcumol,the expression of Caspase 3,Caspase 6,Caspase 8 and Caspase 9 were up-regulated in HL-60 cells (P<0.05 ),the expression of Caspase 3,Caspase 8 and Caspase 9 were significantly up-regulated in KG-1 cells (P<0.01),while the expression of Caspase 6 was weakly affected (P<0.05 ),but low concentration of Curcumol (<60 μg/ml)had no effect on the expression of Caspase 6 in KG-1 cells (P>0.05).Conclusion:Curcumol may mediate the programmed death of AML cells by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,affecting the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins,and promoting the activation of core members of Caspase family,so as to play an anti-leukemia role.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores and cognitive function scores in patients with mild and medium ischemic stroke.Methods:Clinical data of 160 patients with acute ischemic stroke with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)≤7 scores admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from June 2021 to April 2023 were selected for a cross-sectional study. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, they were divided into normal cognitive group (28 cases) (MoCA≥26 scores), mild to moderate cognitive impairment group (74 cases) (MoCA 15-<26 scores), and severe cognitive impairment group (58 cases) (MoCA<15 scores). Demographic characteristics, serological indicators and imaging data of patients were collected, and the correlation between serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores and the total score of MoCA and the scores of each cognitive domain was analyzed. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison between the normal distribution and homogeneous variance data sets, LSD analysis was used for pairwise comparison, Kruskal-Wallis H test was used between the skew distribution or heterogeneous variance data sets. Bonferroni correction analysis was used for pairwise comparison. Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used after the comparison between the count data sets. Spearman Spearman correlation analysis was performed on serum albumin, urea nitrogen and Fazekas scores with MoCA scores and cognitive domain scores. Multivariate ordered Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of cognitive function in acute stage of mild and medium ischemic stroke patients. Results:The incidence of cognitive impairment in patients with acute mild and medium ischemic stroke was 82.50% (132/160). Comparison of age ((56.71±7.35), (60.32±10.20), (66.40±11.88) years old), sex (male/female: (23/5, 58/16, 33/25)), the proportion of education level above high school (25.0%(7/28), 16.2%(12/74), 6.9%(4/58)), hemoglobin ((149.26±14.91), (144.85±16.85), (137.63±17.22) g/L), albumin (39.5 (37.0, 41.2), 38.6(35.6, 40.8), 37.4 (34.5, 39.8) g/L), urea nitrogen (5.30 (4.00, 6.60), 4.81 (4.00, 6.32), 5.86 (4.55, 6.97) mmol/L), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score (5.0 (2.0, 10.0), 7.5 (5.0, 11.0), 10.0 (6.0, 14.3) scores),Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMA) score (5.5 (3.0, 12.5), 7.0 (4.0, 11.0), 9.5 (5.0, 14.0) scores), and Fazekas score (2.00 (1.25, 3.00), 2.00 (1.00, 4.00), 3.00 (2.00, 5.00) scores) among cognitive normal group, mild to moderate cognitive impairment group, and severe cognitive impairment group of patients, the difference were statistically significant (the statistical values were F=9.68, χ 2=9.29, χ 2=30.77, F=5.31, H=7.06, H=6.71, H=12.37, H=8.91, and H=10.96, respectively;the P values were <0.001, 0.010, <0.001, 0.006, 0.029, 0.035, 0.002, 0.012, and 0.004, respectively ). The total score of MoCA was negatively correlated with Fazekas score and serum urea nitrogen, but positively correlated with serum albumin ( r s values were -0.250, -0.168, and 0.212, respectively; P values were 0.001, 0.036, and 0.009, respectively). Serum albumin was positively correlated with scores in visual space and execution, naming, attention and orientation, serum urea nitrogen was negatively correlated with scores in language and orientation, and Fazekas score was negatively correlated with scores in visual space and execution, orientation, attention and language ( r s values were 0.291, 0.196, 0.191, 0.209, -0.205, -0.180, -0.248, -0.193, -0.188, and -0.183, respectively; P values were <0.001, 0.017, 0.020, 0.011, 0.012, 0.027, 0.002, 0.016, 0.020, and 0.023, respectively). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that low albumin ( OR=0.884, 95% CI: 0.813-0.963, P=0.005) and high urea nitrogen ( OR=1.195, 95% CI: 1.003-1.425, P=0.047) and high Fazekas scores ( OR=1.401, 95% CI: 1.132-1.733, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for cognitive function, while high education level was a protective factor ( OR=0.062, 95% CI: 0.019-0.202, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of acute cognitive impairment is high in patients with mild and medium ischemic stroke. Higher education level is a protective factor for cognitive function. Low albumin, high urea nitrogen and high Fazekas score are independent risk factors for cognitive function.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To find potential biomarkers and analyzing metabolic pathways of the treatment by honey-processed Hedysari Radix,the cecal contents of rats with spleen-Qi deficiency were used as samples for analysis.Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank,model,experimental and control groups.The rats in other groups except the control group were carried out by using the three-factor compound modeling method of bitter-cold diarrhea,excessive exertion and hunger and satiety disorders.Experimental group was given 12.60 g·kg-1 honey-processed Hedysari Radix;control group was given 0.63 g·kg-1 lactobacillus bifidum triplex tabletsa;control and model groups received with equal volume of distilled water for a total of 15 days.Measure body weight,anal temperature,immune organ index of rats.Ultra-pressure liquid chromatography-quadrupole-exactive-mass spectrometry technology was used to measure the levels of endogenous metabolites in cecum contents.Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis and database"Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes"were used to identify potential differential metabolites and possible metabolic pathways.Results After the intervention,the average body weight of the experimental,control,model and blank groups was(216.87±7.85),(210.96±9.03),(159.47±5.18)and(293.51±22.98)g;anal temperature was(36.14±0.48),(35.40±0.64),(34.50±0.78)and(36.61±0.34)℃;the thymus indexes were(1.19±0.20),(1.24±0.25),(0.47±0.15)and(1.31±0.21)mg·g-1;the spleen indexes were(1.95±0.33),(2.18±0.28),(1.61±0.27)and(2.29±0.24)mg·g-1.Compared with the model group,the above indexes of the experimental group and the control group were significantly increased(all P＜0.01).A total of 14 potential biomarkers of Honey-processed Hedysari Radix in treating spleen-Qi deficiency syndrome were screened out in this study,which mainly involved amino acid metabolism such as tryptophan and glutamate,riboflavin metabolism and adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase metabolism.Conclusion Honey-processed Hedysari Radix can further protect the intestinal mucosal barrier and reduce the intestinal inflammatory response by improving the metabolic level of cecum contents in rats with spleen-Qi deficiency in cecum contents,thus exerting the effect of strengthening the spleen and tonifying the Qi.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of butyrolphthalein on nerve injury in rats with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)by regulating Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear transcription factor-κB(NF-κB)pathway.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into model group and experimental-L,-M,-H groups;ACI models were established in vivo except sham operation group.The experimental-L,-M,-H groups were given 20,40,80 mg·kg-1 butylphthalide,qd,for 7 days;the sham operation group and the model group were given the same amount of 0.9％NaCl,for 7 days.Neural function score,bilateral sticker removal time,balance beam crossing score,cerebral water content and cerebral infarction volume of rats in each group were measured.The expression of axonal growth inhibitory factor A(Nogo-A)and serum inflammatory factor in hippocampus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of TLR4/NF-κB pathway related proteins was detected by Western blot.Results The neural function scores of sham operation group,model group,and experimental-L,-M,-H groups were 0,3.55±0.52,2.55±0.52,1.82±0.60,0.91±0.30,respectively;the Nogo-A in hippocampus were(0.93±0.23),(6.32±0.53),(5.10±0.55),(3.54±0.57),(1.58±0.30)ng·L-1,respectively;serum Nogo-A were(0.49±0.12),(5.09±0.82),(3.83±0.54),(2.23±0.64),(1.13±0.25)ng·L-1,respectively;TLR4 protein expression were 0.44±0.05,1.23±0.14,0.93±0.07,0.75±0.06,0.55±0.07,respectively;the expressions of p-p65 NF-κB protein were 0.32±0.05,0.82±0.06,0.68±0.08,0.57±0.07,0.44±0.05,respectively.There were statistically significant differences between sham operation group and model group(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the above indexes between the model group and the experimental-L,-M,-H groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Butylphthalein can play a neuroprotective role in ACI rats by regulating TLR4/NF-κB pathway to improve nerve function and reduce inflammatory damage.

Seven triterpenoids were isolated and purified from the 95% aqueous EtOH extract whole plants of P. villosa by various chromatographic techniques, such as silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography. Based on physicochemical properties and spectral analyses, the structures of the seven compounds were identified as 29-acetoxyoleanolic acid-3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (1), oleanolic acid (2), 3β-hydroxy-24-norursa-4(23),12,20(30)-trien-28-oic acid (3), 3β-hydroxy-24-nor-urs-4(23),12-dien-28-oic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), hederagenin (6), oleanolic acid 3-O-arabinoside (7). Compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 3, 4, 6, and 7 are isolated from P. villosa for the first time. All compounds were assayed for their anti-inflammatory activity by the prodution of NO in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 significantly inhibited the NO release.

Monosodium urate (MSU)-induced the gouty arthritis (GA) model was used to investigate the effect of Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inhibitor N14 in alleviating GA. Firstly, the effect of NLRP3 inhibitor N14 on the viability of mouse monocyte macrophage J774A.1 was examined by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The expression of mature interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 (caspase-1) p20 in the cell supernatant and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and pro-IL-1β proteins in the cell lysates was detected by Western blot for the inhibitory effect of N14 on the MSU-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774A.1 cells. Animal behavioral tests were used to detect redness, swelling, heat and pain in mice with gouty arthritis. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining revealed pathologic changes and inflammatory infiltration in foot sections. Protein expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, and pro-IL-1β in mouse hind paw tissues were assessed by Western blot. The effect of N14 on the plasma levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), creatinine (CRE), urea, and uric acid (UA) was investigated by the MSU-induced gouty arthritis model in mice. All animal experiments in this paper were approved by the Scientific Ethics Review Board of Qingdao Marine Biomedical Research Institute (grant No. E-MBWNL-2024-20). The experimental results showed that N14 did not exhibit cytotoxicity in mouse monocyte macrophage J774A.1 cells at concentrations up to 100 μmol·L^-1, and N14 effectively prevented MSU-induced activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. In the mouse gouty arthritis model, N14 significantly ameliorated the redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by GA, and down-regulated the levels of NLRP3 inflammasome-associated proteins in mouse hind paw tissues. Meanwhile, N14 appeared to be well tolerated, as it did not significantly affect various biochemical indices in mouse plasma. In conclusion, N14 effectively alleviated GA in mice by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, which is important for both prevention and treatment of related diseases.
