Objective:To analyze and explore the effects of Huayu Jiedu Decoction on the malignant biological characteristics of multiple myeloma(MM)cells and its molecular mechanism,so as to provide experimental basis and theoretical basis for the alternative therapy of anti-MM in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:Different concentrations of Huayu Jiedu Decoction were used to intervene myeloma U266 cells.The changes of cell proliferation activity were detected by CCK-8 assay,apoptosis was detected by Annexin V/PI double staining flow cytometry,and apoptosis and protein expression of related signaling pathways were detected by Western blot.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA expression changes of high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)and interleukin-6(IL-6).Results:Huayu Jiedu Decoction inhibited the proliferative activity of U266 cells and induced their apoptosis in a concentration and time dependent manner(r=-0.713,r=-0.827).After treatment with Huayu Jiedu Decoction for 48 h,the expressions of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and survivin were down-regulated,while the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax was up-regulated,and the phosphorylation level of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was inhibited.After intervention of Huayu Jiedu decoction,the expressions of HMGB1 and IL-6 mRNA were significantly decreased,while the expression of CXCR4 was not significantly decreased.Conclusion:Huayu Jiedu Decoction can inhibit the proliferative activity of U266 cells and induce programmed death.Its molecular mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of apoptotic proteins,inhibiting the activation of TLR4/NF-κB pathway and down-regulating the expression of HMGB1 and IL-6 mRNA.

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 study the therapeutic effect of sacubitril valsartan combined metoprolol on patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency and its impact on levels of chemokine CXC ligand 13(CXCL13)and human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ion ATPase 2a(SERCA2a).Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 120 patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency admitted in Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between June 2018 and December 2021.They were divided into control group(n=60,metoprolol therapy)and combined treatment group(n=60,additional sacubitril valsartan therapy based on control group).After 90d treatment,therapeutic effect,cardiac function,coronary hemodynamics,levels of CXCL13 and SERCA2a,and safety were compared between two groups.Results:Total effective rate in combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group(91.67％vs.76.67％,P=0.024).Compared with patients in control group after treatment,those in combined treatment group had significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac output(CO),coronary diastolic peak veloci-ty(DPV),systolic peak velocity(SPV),diastolic velocity time integral(DVTI),systolic velocity time integral(SVTI)and SERCA2a level,and significant lower left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-diastolic di-ameter(LVEDd)and CXCL13 level(P＜0.001 all).We detected no significant difference in incidence of adverse reac-tions between two groups during treatment(P=0.378).Conclusion:Sacubitril valsartan combined with metoprolol has good therapeutic effect in patients with chronic cardiac insufficiency.It can improve cardiac function,increase the coronary blood flow velocity,reduce CXCL13 level and increase SERCA2a level with good safety.

Spinal surgical site infection (SSI), especially deep SSI after internal fixation is difficult in treatment, with long course of disease and poor prognosis. At present, there are many controversies in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, with unsatisfactory overall efficacy of its diagnosis and treatment. Besides, no diagnosis and treatment guideline based on evidence-based medicine has been in existence. To this end, the Spinal Infection Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Spinal Infection Group of the Spinal Surgery Branch of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medicine Association jointly organized relevant experts to formulate Evidence-based clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of surgical site infection in spinal trauma ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 10 recommendations were proposed on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI, so as to provide a clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal SSI.

Objective:In thyroid surgery,evaluating the combination of near-infrared auto-fluorescence imaging(NIRAF)with injection of mitoxantrone hydrochloride(MHI)as a tracer to en-hance the identification rate of parathyroid glands,thereby reducing the occurrence of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia and parathyroid dysfunction.Methods:A prospective study was conducted from October 2022 to March 2023 at Yidu Central Hospital in Weifang City,involving 80 patients undergoing thyroid surgery.Patients were randomly divided into a combined group and a control group based on their admission time,with 40 patients in each group.In the combined group,0.6 mL of mitoxantrone hydrochloride(MHI)was injected into the thyroid gland during sur-gery,and near-infrared autofluorescence(NIRAF)was used for parathyroid gland identification.The control group only used NIRAF during surgery.Compared the preoperative levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone(PTH)between the two groups,as well as the intraoperative accuracy of parathyroid gland identification and the rate of autotransplantation.Postoperatively,the study ana-lyzed PTH levels,blood calcium levels,the rate of inadvertent parathyroidectomy,and the inci-dence of hypocalcemia symptoms.Results:In the combined group,there were 4 cases(10.0％)of parathyroid transplantation,compared to 12 cases(30.0％)in the control group,with a statisti-cally significant difference between the two groups(x2=3.828,P=0.049).The accuracy of parathy-roid gland identification in the combined group was higher than that in the control group(x2=3.899,P=0.048).Additionally,there were 2 cases(5.0％)of inadvertent parathyroidectomy in the com-bined group compared to 10 cases(25.0％)in the control group,with a statistically significant dif-ference between the two groups(x2=4.804,P=0.028).Postoperatively at day 1,the blood calcium levels were(2.24±0.11)mmol/L in the combined group and(2.16±0.17)mmol/L in the control group,and the PTH levels were(27.18±11.77)ng/L in the combined group and(18.57±9.55)ng/L in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)observed in both parameters.At day 3 postoperatively,the blood calcium levels were(2.32±0.17)mmol/L in the combined group and(2.23±0.12)mmol/L in the control group;the PTH levels were(33.03±7.88)ng/L in the com-bined group and(24.89±9.29)ng/L in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)observed in both parameters.After surgery,3 cases(7.5％)of numbness in the extremities or around the mouth were observed in the combined group compared to 10 cases(25.0％)in the con-trol group,with a statistically significant difference(P=0.034).Conclusion:The use of NIRAF combined with MHI can effectively improve the accuracy of parathyroid gland identification during thyroid surgery,thereby avoiding inadvertent removal,reducing the occurrence of postoperative hypocalcemia and parathyroid dysfunction,lowering the incidence of postoperative numbness in the extremities or around the mouth,and enhancing the overall patient experience.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To explore the postmortem diffusion rule of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabo-lites in poisoned rabbits,and to provide a reference for identifying the antemortem poisoning or post-mortem poisoning of Aconitum alkaloids.Methods Twenty-four rabbits were sacrificed by tracheal clamps.After 1 hour,the rabbits were administered with aconitine LD50 in decocting aconite root powder by intragastric administration.Then,they were placed supine and stored at 25℃.The biological samples from 3 randomly selected rabbits were collected including heart blood,peripheral blood,urine,heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney tissues at 0 h,4 h,8 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h and 96 h after intragastric administration,respectively.Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites in the biological samples were ana-lyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS).Results At 4 h after intragastric administration,Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites could be detected in heart blood,peripheral blood and major organs,and the contents of them changed dynamically with the preservation time.The contents of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites were higher in the spleen,liver and lung,especially in the spleen which was closer to the stomach.The average mass fraction of benzoylmesaconine metabolized in rabbit spleen was the highest at 48 h after intragastric administration.In contrast,the contents of Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites in kidney were all lower.Aconi-tum alkaloids and their metabolites were not detected in urine.Conclusion Aconitum alkaloids and their metabolites have postmortem diffusion in poisoned rabbits,diffusing from high-content organs(stomach)to other major organs and tissues as well as the heart blood.The main mechanism is the dispersion along the concentration gradient,while urine is not affected by postmortem diffusion,which can be used as the basis for the identification of antemortem and postmortem Aconitum alkaloids poisoning.
