Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy and targeted therapy for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer patients with liver and kidney yin deficiency combined with spleen deficiency pattern.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 72 hospitalized patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated at the Department of Oncology, Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from October 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled as study subjects. Using a random number table method, they were allocated into two groups, with 36 patients in each group. The control group received the mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab regimen, while the treatment group was administered additional oral Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription on the basis of the control group. Two weeks was a cycle in both groups, with a total of 6 cycles of treatment. Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724) were detected using electrochemiluminescence; the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scale was utilized to evaluate patients' functional status; vital signs were continuously monitored, and adverse reactions were recorded. The short-term efficacy and TCM syndrome efficacy of patients were evaluated.Results:The treatment group demonstrated higher objective response rate (ORR) [31.25% (10/32) vs. 21.88% (7/32), χ2=0.72] and disease control rate (DCR) [84.38% (27/32) vs. 71.88% (23/32), χ2=1.46] compared to the control group, without statistical significance ( P>0.05). Post-treatment levels of CEA [4.09 (3.31,8.57) μg/L vs. 10.07 (4.55,22.35) μg/L, Z=-2.10] and CA72-4 [4.54 (2.04,10.99) mU/L vs. 9.48 (4.34,18.95) mU/L, Z=-2.52] in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome was significantly higher in the treatment group [78.13% (25/32)] compared with the control group [50.00% (16/32)], with statistical significance ( χ2=5.50, P=0.019). Post-treatment KPS scores in the treatment group [80.0 (80.0, 80.0) vs. 70.0 (62.5, 80.0), Z=-2.76] were significantly higher compared with the control group ( P<0.01). During the treatment period, the treatment group showed statistical significance compared with the control group in the incidence of hemoglobin decrease ( χ2=4.66), leukopenia decrease ( χ2=4.27), and peripheral neuropathy ( χ2=3.93), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The addition of Jianpi Bushen Jiedu Prescription to 5-FU-based chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy demonstrates significant clinical benefits in advanced colorectal cancer patients, including reducing tumor marker levels, alleviating clinical symptoms, improving quality of life, and mitigating treatment-related toxicities, with a good safety.

Objective:To explore the predictive role of dynamic changes in serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and its inflammatory influencing factors on the reversal of hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis.Methods:Two hundred and seventy-eight patients with hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis who received entecavir or combined Fuzheng Huayu tablets treatment and completed two liver biopsies (biopsy) in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2014 to July 2019 were selected. The correlation between serum GP73 level and fibrosis stage (Ishak) and inflammation grade (HAI) was analyzed. The patients were divided into a fibrosis reversal group (Ishak decreased≥1 point) and a non-reversal group (Ishak score remained unchanged or increased), and an inflammation improvement group (ΔHAI≤-2) and a non-improvement group (ΔHAI>-2) according to the pathological changes of liver tissue before and after treatment. The cross-sectional value of GP73, its change value (ΔGP73), and the role of inflammatory influencing factors on the liver before and after treatment were evaluated for their predictive efficacy regarding liver fibrosis regression. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to explore the predictive value of serum ΔGP73 combined with liver stiffness change value (ΔLSM) for the reversal of hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the data between the groups of quantitative data, and a paired t-test or rank sum test was used for the data before and after treatment. The χ2 test was used to compare the differences between the groups of enumeration data. Spearman and Pearson correlation methods were used for correlation analysis. Results:The serum GP73 level was higher in the cirrhosis group than that in the group without significant fibrosis ( P<0.01). The GP73 level was higher in patients with moderate and severe inflammation than that in the mild group ( P<0.05). Pre-treatment serum GP73 was positively correlated with fibrosis stage ( r=0.248), inflammation grade ( r=0.318), and alanine aminotransferase level ( r=0.203) ( P<0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for the predictive ability of post-treatment GP73 levels in the fibrosis reversal was 0.633 (95% CI: 0.573-0.689, sensitivity 62.68%, and specificity 59.56%). The decrease in ΔGP73 was significantly higher in the liver fibrosis reversal group ( n=142) than that in the non-reversal group ( n=136) [-39.22(-85.08,-14.31) ng/mL vs. -30.06(-61.29,-5.84) ng/mL, P<0.01]. ΔGP73 was also associated with liver inflammation changes (AUROC=0.634, 95% CI: 0.574-0.690, sensitivity of 51.64%, specificity of 69.87%). Additionally, the predictive effectiveness of GP73 for fibrosis reversal improved after normalization of serum ALT (AUROC: 0.651 vs. 0.522 at baseline). ΔGP73 combined with ΔLSM had improved the AUROC predictive effectiveness from single indicators of 0.609 (ΔGP73) and 0.656 (ΔLSM) to 0.800 (95% CI: 0.662-0.899), with specificity increasing from 72.22% to 86.11%. Conclusion:Serum GP73 level is positively correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis and inflammation. Serum GP73 levels and ΔGP73 can predict the reversal of fibrosis, with liver inflammation being an important influencing factor following treatment. ΔGP73 combined with ΔLSM can significantly optimize the evaluation efficiency of liver fibrosis reversal.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of bypass vein bridging in repairing high-voltage electric burn wounds on the head with free anterolateral thigh flaps.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From May 2017 to December 2022, 8 patients with high-voltage electric burns on the head who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 6 males and 2 females, aged 33 to 73 years. All patients had skull exposure, including 3 cases of large skull defect, 1 case of left eye necrosis, and 3 cases of cerebral hemorrhage. After debridement, the head wound area was from 13 cm×7 cm to 21 cm×15 cm, and the free anterolateral thigh flap with the area of 14 cm×8 cm to 22 cm×16 cm was cut for repair. The main descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery carried by the flap was anastomosed end-to-end with the superficial temporal artery in the recipient area. One accompanying vein of the anastomotic artery of the flap was end-to-end anastomosed with the branch of the external jugular vein via great saphenous vein bridging, and the other accompanying vein was end-to-end anastomosed with the superficial temporal vein in the recipient area. The donor site wounds were directly sutured or closed with medium-thickness skin grafts from inner thigh. The blood supply and survival of the flap, and the wound healing on the head were observed after operation. The blood flow and lumen filling of the transplanted vein were observed and recorded by using color ultrasound diagnostic system within 2 weeks after operation. The wound repair method and wound healing of the flap donor site were recorded and observed. Patients were followed up to observe the appearance of the flaps and the flap donor sites, the muscle strength of the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located, and whether the patient could complete standing, walking, and squatting using the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located.Results:The flaps of 8 patients survived after operation, and no arterial or venous crisis occurred. The wounds of 5 patients on the head healed after operation, and the wounds of 3 patients on the head healed after second debridement 21 to 35 days after operation due to exudates under the flap 2 weeks after operation. Within 2 weeks after operation, the grafted vein continued to be unobstructed. After the ultrasound probe was pressurized, the grafted vein could be deflated, and the blood vessels were rapidly filled after the probe was released. The wounds of flap donor sites of 3 patients were directly sutured and healed 2 weeks after operation. The wounds of flap donor sites of 5 patients were closed with medium-thickness skin grafts from inner thigh, and all the skin grafts survived 12 days after operation. During follow-up of 6 to 12 months, the head flaps of all patients were slightly bloated without hair growth. Mild linear or patchy scar hyperplasia was left in the donor site. The muscle strength of the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located was normal and did not decrease. The patients could stand, walk, and squat with the lower limbs where the flap donor site was located.Conclusions:When using the free anterolateral thigh flap to repair high-voltage electric burn wounds of various areas and depths on the head, bypass vein bridging can reduce the occurrence of postoperative flap vein crisis and improve the quality of postoperative wound healing without affecting the function of the lower limbs where the flap donor site is located.

Objective This study is focused on ultrasound multimodality examination,which refers to the combined use of three ultrasound examination modalities,ultrasound(US),acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI)imaging,and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS).The purpose of this study is to analyze the value of applying ultrasound multimodality examination in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast non-mass-like lesions(NMLs).Methods Cases of breast NMLs were analyzed retrospectively,and the nature of all the lesions was verified by pathological examination.Based on the gray-scale ultrasound image characteristics,the cases were classified into types Ⅰto Ⅴ,and type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ were further classified into 4 subtypes,Ⅰa,Ⅰ b,Ⅱ a,and Ⅱ b,according to whether there was also calcification,and the proportion of malignant cases in each subtype was statistically analyzed.Logistic regression models of US,US+ARFI,US+CEUS,and US+ARFI+CEUS for the diagnosis of malignant cases were established,ROC curves were drawn,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated,and comparisons were made accordingly.The detection rate of malignant NMLs without calcification(atypical malignant NMLs)by the combination examination of US,ARFI,and CEUS was analyzed.Results A total of 407 cases were included in the study.All subjects were female,aged 22 to 81 years,with the average age being(47.0±1 1.0)years.There were 220 benign cases and 187 malignant cases.Ranked from the highest to the lowest,the malignancy proportion of the different types wasⅠb＞Ⅱb＞Ⅲ＞V＞Ⅰa＞Ⅱa＞Ⅳ.The malignant proportion of the low echo area with calcification was significantly higher than that of the lesions without calcification.The AUC(95％confidence interval[CI])for diagnosing malignant cases with the logistic regression models of US,US+ARFI,US+CEUS,and US+ARFI+CEUS were 0.895(0.862-0.927),0.908(0.878-0.937),0.921(0.893-0.948),and 0.927(0.902-0.952),respectively.Comparison of the AUC of the 4 regression models showed significant differences(P＜0.001).The detection rate of US for NMLs without calcification was 80.7％.When US was used in combination with ARFI and CEUS,86.4％of the malignant NMLs lesions without calcification could be detected if the lesion CEUS score was 4 or 5 points or if shear-wave velocity(SWV)≥4.28 m/s.Conclusion Breast NMLs with calcification show high risks of malignancy,and a pathological examination is always recommended for a conclusive diagnosis.Ultrasound multimodality examination can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast NML without calcification.

Objective:To explore the curative effects of ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap in one-stage split-finger repair of palmar combined with multiple finger wounds.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From October 2016 to June 2018, 20 patients with wounds on palms and multiple fingers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 15 males and 5 females, aged 18 to 77 years. After debridement, the wound area was 8 cm×4 cm-17 cm×12 cm. The wound was repaired by ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap with area of 9 cm×5 cm to 19 cm×13 cm. According to the wound condition of finger, the finger division was performed in one stage, and the length-to-width ratio of the split-finger flap was 2.0:1.0-2.5:1.0. During the surgery, the descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery and accompanying vein of flap were anastomosed end-to-end to the radial artery and vein in the recipient area, respectively, and the anterolateral femoral cutaneous nerve of flap was bridged with the superficial branch of radial nerve in the recipient area. The wounds in the donor area of flap in 14 patients were sutured directly, the wounds in the donor area of flap in 3 patients were repaired by relay superficial iliac circumflex artery perforator flap, and the wounds in the donor area of flap in 3 patients were covered by free trunk medium-thick skin graft. The survival of flap, occurrence of vascular crisis and other complications, and healing of wounds in the donor area of flap were recorded. The appearance of flap, scar hyperplasia in the donor and recipient areas and the patients' satisfaction with the shape and function of the donor and recipient areas were followed up. In 1 year after surgery, the two-point discrimination distance of the flap was measured, and the recovery of hand function was evaluated by the trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association.Results:The flaps of 17 patients survived without vascular crisis or other complications after surgery. The flap of 1 patient had poor blood circulation and partial necrosis, and the wound was healed 14 days after dressing change and grafting of split-thickness skin graft from head. Two patients had mild cyanosis at the margin of flap after surgery, which disappeared spontaneously 5 days later. Incisions at donor site, relay flaps, and skin grafts of all patients survived well. After surgery, the color and texture of flap were basically the same as that of the normal skin of hand, and linear scars were observed in the donor and recipient areas. The patients were satisfied with the recovery of appearance and function of donor and recipient areas. After 1 year of follow-up, the patients' hand sensory function recovered well, the two-point discrimination distance of flap was 4-6 mm, and the recovery of hand function was evaluated as excellent in 18 cases and good in 2 cases.Conclusions:The ultrathin anterolateral femoral flap in repairing the palmar combined with multiple finger wounds in one-stage split-finger can significantly reduce the number of surgeries and improve the function and beauty of the hand, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck.Methods:From January 2016 to August 2019, 10 male patients, aged from 20 to 52 years with post-burn facial and cervical scar deformities, were admitted to the First People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou, with the size of scar ranging from 15 cm×7 cm to 23 cm×11 cm. In the first stage, a cylindrical skin and soft tissue expander with rated capacity ranging from 400 to 600 mL was placed in the frontal-parietal region. Another cylindrical expander with rated capacity ranging from 50 to 100 mL was placed in the temporal region of the patient with scars in front of the ear and in cheek. The injection time was 3 to 5 months with the total injection volume being 1.5 to 2.5 times of the rated capacity of expander. In the second stage, the superficial temporal artery frontal branch and its branches were explored, the expander was removed, the scars in the face and neck were conducted resection and contracture relaxation, and the single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region for reconstruction was performed. When the branches of the superficial temporal vessels were difficult to be detected by Doppler ultrasonic blood stream detector, the patient underwent computed tomography (CT) angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The donor site in frontal-parietal region was directly sutured, and the wound of the exposed donor site at the pedicle and temporal region was temporarily covered with scar skin. After the suture wound was healed and the hair in expanded flap grew out, hair removal and laser hair removal were performed. Three to four weeks after transplantation of expanded flap, the flap pedicle was cut off, restored, and trimmed in the third stage. The status about the completion of operation, the implantation of expander in the temporal region, CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction were recorded. The effective resection area of expanded flap, the length across the midline and the length of the pedicle, and the survival status of the expanded flap and complications after operation were observed. The appearance of donor and recipient sites, the scar recurrence, the appearance and function improvement of patients, and the satisfaction degree of patients were followed up.Results:All the 10 patients successfully completed three stages of operation, of which 6 patients had an auxiliary expander placement in the temporal region, and 5 patients underwent CT angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. The effective resection area of expanded flap ranged from 18 cm×8 cm to 25 cm×13 cm. The distal end of the flap across the midline extended 4-6 cm to the opposite side, and the length of pedicle was 2-6 cm. All the expanded flaps of patients survived well after formation and transfer. The venous reflux disorder and obvious swelling occurred in 6 patients at the distal end of the flap after operation, and the blood supply recovered after acupuncture bloodletting, etc. Follow-up of 6 to 24 months showed that the color, texture, and thickness of the expanded flaps were similar to those of the facial skin, and no recurrence of scar was observed; the incision in the donor site of the frontal-parietal region was concealed, the hair growth of the temples and head was normal, and the reconstructed hairline was natural; compared with those before operation, the appearance, head-up, mouth-opening, and other functions of patients were significantly improved; the patients were satisfied with the effect of reconstruction.Conclusions:Clinical application of single pedicle transfer of expanded axial flap across the midline of the frontal-parietal region in reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck can achieve a good appearance and function, and the donor site shows good shape, which enriches the application range of the trans-regional blood supply flap. It is a reliable method for reconstruction of large scar deformities in the face and neck.
