ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

Objective To evaluate the application of high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging(HRMR-VWI)in identifying high-risk features of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques,and to analyze the correlation between plaque characteristics and stroke recurrence under varying degrees of stenosis.Methods The data from 368 patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(ICAS)across two centers were retrospectively analyzed.Based on the degree of stenosis,all patients were categorized into mild-to-moderate stenosis group(luminal stenosis<70%,n=155)and severe stenosis group(luminal stenosis≥70%,n=213).HRMR-VWI images and clinical information of the patients were collected and analyzed,and the culprit plaques were quantitatively analyzed.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to identify the risk factors for stroke recurrence,and the predictive performance was evaluated using the area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Higher normalized wall index(NWI)[odds ratio(OR)=1.082,95%confidence interval(CI)1.050-1.118,P<0.05]and the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage(IPH)(OR=1.843,95%CI 1.120-3.036,P<0.05)were risk factors for stroke recurrence in all patients.And these two factors were also significant in the mild-to-moderate stenosis group(NWI:OR=1.088,95%CI 1.009-1.186,P<0.05;IPH:OR=4.049,95%CI 1.227-16.065,P<0.05).A predictive model for stroke recurrence was constructed using the combination of IPH and NWI,with the best performance in the mild-to-moderate stenosis group(AUC=0.813,95%CI 0.723-0.906).Conclusion In patients with luminal stenosis<70%,the increase of NWI and the presence of IPH have been validated as significant and effective indicators for predicting stroke recurrence,demonstrating notable predictive performance.In contrast,among patients with luminal stenosis≥70%,the utility of plaque characteristics in predicting stroke recurrence is relatively lower,indicating that the correlation between plaque characteristics and stroke recurrence varies across different degrees of stenosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial, 300 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of either sex, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, who underwent daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Jinhua Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou First People′s Hospital Affiliated to Westlake University School of Medicine, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from August 2021 to August 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=150 each) using a random number table method: remimazolam group (R group) and propofol group (P group). Anesthesia was induced as follows: Sufentanil was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5 μg/kg, remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.3 mg/kg in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 2.0-2.5 mg/kg in group P, and cisatracurium besilate was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.2 mg/kg after loss of consciousness in two groups. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintained as follows: Remimazolam was intravenously injected at a rate of 0.5-1.0 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group R, propofol was intravenously injected at a rate of 4-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group P, and remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 0.25-2.00 μg·kg -1·min -1, maintaining intraoperative bispectral index value of 40-60. The success rate of sedation was recorded, and non-inferiority tests were conducted. The time to loss of consciousness, emergence time, extubation time, recovery time of orientation, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and occurrence of delayed emergence were recorded. Liver function and renal function were measured before operation and within 24 h after operation. The occurrence of abnormal alanine transaminase, abnormal aspartate transaminase, abnormal creatinine and abnormal urea was recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions during and after operation was recorded. Results:The success rates of sedation were 98.6% and 99.3% in group R and group P, respectively, there was no statistically significant difference in the success rate of sedation between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the difference in the success rates of sedation between the two groups was -0.007 (95% confidence interval-0.0301-0.0161), which met the pre-set non-inferiority criteria(95% confidence interval >-0.055). Compared with group P, the time to loss of consciousness and recovery time of orientation were significantly prolonged, and the incidence of delayed emergence was increased ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were found in the emergence time, extubation time, time of stay in post-anesthesia care unit and severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in group R ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rates of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, creatinine and urea before and after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of remimazolam-based anesthesia in daytime laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not inferior to that of propofol-based anesthesia.

Objective:To establish a dose-response curve of dicentric chromosomes and centromeric rings (dic+ r) in γ-ray irradiation-induced chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes through automated analysis.Methods:Peripheral blood samples from three healthy donors were irradiated in vitro at doses of 0, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Gy and a dose rate of 0.80 Gy/min using a 137Cs γ-ray source. Post-irradiation, lymphocytes were cultured based on standard protocols, harvested using an automatic cell harvester, and prepared on slides using an automatic slide preparation system. dic+ r were analyzed fully automatically using the DCScore software, and a dose-response curve of dic+ r was established through fitting and then validated using the CABAS software. Results:The dose-response curve followed a linear-quadratic model, i. e., y = 0.093 65+ 0.030 21 D+ 0.025 31 D2 ( R2 = 0.999 2), where y was the quantity of dic+ r and D was the absorbed dose of γ-ray irradiation (Gy). Doses to samples for blind validation were estimated using this curve, yielding deviations of less than 24% from the actual irradiation doses. Conclusions:The fully automated analysis of dic+ r in 137Cs γ-ray irradiation-induced chromosomal aberrations, followed by the construction of the dose-response curve, holds significant potential for rapid, high-throughput biodosimetry in large-scale nuclear emergencies.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of CD105 and erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EPHA2) expressions in breast invasive ductal carcinoma and the effects of the combination of diabetes mellitus on CD105 and EPHA2 expressions.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 74 patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2019 to June 2024 were selected, and paraffin specimens from the patients after surgery were collected. Immunohistochemistry SP method was used to detect the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 proteins in specimens. CD105 expression was expressed as the number of CD105 labeled microvessels, and EPHA2 expression was expressed as the proportion of EPHA2 positive expression area. The correlation of CD105 and EPHA2 expressions with the clinicopathological characteristics and diabetes mellitus of patients, as well as the relationship between the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate and multivariate analysis of the factors influencing overall survival of patients.Results:All 74 patients were female. The median age was 60 years old, 44 patients (59.46%) had tumor grade ≥ grade 3, 36 patients (48.65%) had tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm, 28 patients (37.84%) had lymph node metastasis, 30 patients (40.54%) had nerve vessel invasion, and 32 patients (43.24%) had diabetes mellitus. There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with different age, tumor diameter, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis or not and nerve vessel invasion or not between diabetes mellitus group and non-diabetes mellitus group (all P < 0.05). The number of CD105 marking the microvessel was (32±9) and (24±8), respectively in diabetes mellitus group and non-diabetes mellitus group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.63, P < 0.010); the positive expression area proportion of EPHA2 was (19±5)% and (15±4)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.85, P < 0.010). The expression of CD105 was related to the duration of diabetes mellitus, tumor diameter, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis or not (all P < 0.05), and the expression of EPHA2 was related to tumor diameter and TNM stage (all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between CD105 and EPHA2 expression ( r = 0.75, P < 0.001). The differences in overall survival of patients with or without diabetes mellitus and patients with different CD105 and EPHA2 expressions were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that CD105 expression ( HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.16, P = 0.001) and EPHA2 expression ( HR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.10-1.66, P = 0.005) were independent factors influencing the overall survival of patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Conclusions:The expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 are independent prognostic factors in patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and diabetes mellitus can promote the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2, which may increase the risk of poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and adaptability of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of splenic aneurysm.Methods:The data of 28 patients with splenic aneurysms who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2010 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Among them, there were 13 males and 15 females, with the age of (57.3±7.7) years. All patients underwent laparoscopic splenic aneurysm resection, and whether to perform splenic artery anastomosis or splenectomy was determined based on the intraoperative situation. Collect the long diameter and location of splenic aneurysms, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative complications (bleeding, pancreatic fistula, splenic infarction, and splenic vein and portal vein thrombosis), postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization expenses of the patients.Results:All patients successfully underwentlaparoscopic surgery for splenic aneurysms. Aneurysms were located at the origin of the splenic artery in 3 cases (10.7%), in the middle in 8 cases (28.6%), and at the tail in 17 cases (60.7%). The long diameter of the aneurysms was (3.1±1.7) cm. Among the 28 patients, 18 cases (64.3%) underwent splenic aneurysm resection alone, 5 cases (17.9%) underwent splenic aneurysm resection combined with end-to-end anastomosis of the splenic artery, and 5 cases (17.9%) underwent splenic aneurysm resection combined with splenectomy. The operation time of 28 patients was (124.3±55.1) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 100.0 (50.0, 162.5) ml, the postoperative hospital stay was (10.9±3.8) days, and the hospitalization cost was (3.7±1.2) wanyuan. Among the 28 patients, 5 cases (17.9%) developed pancreatic fistula, 1 case (3.6%) had partial splenic infarction, and 1 case (3.6%) had portal vein and splenic vein thrombosis after the operation.Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery for splenic aneurysm is safe and feasible, with less surgical trauma and quick postoperative recovery.
