Objective To investigate the effect of dorsal repulsive axon guidance protein(Draxin)on the migration of trunk neural crest cells during the early development of embryonic mouse spinal cord.Methods Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to detect the expression characteristics of Draxin in early embryonic spinal cord(8 mice each group);In situ hybridization was used to detect the change of migration characteristics of trunk neural crest cells in early embryonic spinal cord of different types of mouse(5 mice each group);in vitro culture method was used to check the effect of Draxin on the migration characteristics of embryonic mouse trunk neural crest cells(16 mice each group).Resultsβ-galactosidase gene Z(LacZ)gene was introduced when Draxin gene was knocked out to produce Draxin gene knockout mice.β-galactosidase staining was used to detect LacZ gene expression in Draxin knockout embryonic mice,and the result showed that Draxin expression was observed in the spinal cord of early embryonic mice since 9.5 days(E9.5).Draxin expression was obvious in the embryonic mice spinal cord in E10.5 period.In situ hybridization was used to detect the expression of Draxin gene in the spinal cord of wild type embryonic mice,and the result further verified the obvious expression of Draxin in the early embryonic mice spinal cord in El0.5 period.Sox10 in situ hybridization was used to detect neural crest cell migration in the spinal cord of embryonic mice in E10.5 period.The result showed that segmental migration of neural crest cells in the early embryonic spinal cord of some Draxin knockout mice was delayed compared with the wild type mice.The effect of Draxin on the migration of wild type early embryonic mice trunk neural crest cells in vitro was tested.The result showed that Draxin reduced the migration distance of neural crest cells in vitro.Conclusion In the early developmental stage of embryonic spinal cord(E9.5-E10.5),neural crest cells migrated exuberant.At the same time,Draxin plays an important inhibitory function in the formation of the specific migration pathways of trunk neural crest cells by promoting neural crest cells migrating away from Draxin expressing regions.

As a new type of production factor that can empower the development of new quality productivity, the data element is an important engine to promote the high quality development of the industry. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) dispensing is the most basic work of TCM clinical pharmacy, and its quality directly affects the clinical efficacy of TCM. The integration of data elements and TCM dispensing can stimulate the innovation and vitality of the TCM dispensing industry and promote the high-quality and sustainable development of the industry. A large-scale, detailed, and systematic study on TCM dispensing was conducted. The innovative practice path of data fusion construction in the whole process of TCM dispensing was investigated by integrating the digital resources "nine full activities" of TCM dispensing, creating the digital dictionary of "TCM clinical information data elements", and exploring innovative applications of TCM dispensing driven by data and technology, so as to promote the standardized, digital, and intelligent development of TCM dispensing in medical health services. The research content of this project was successfully selected as the second batch of "Data element×" typical cases of National Data Administration in 2024, which is the only selected case in the field of TCM.

Objective To investigate the impact of Qizhi Jiangtang Capsule (QZJT) on renal damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN) mice via NOD like receptors family pyrin domain containing 3/caspase-1/ Gasdermin D (NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD) signaling pathway. Methods Mice were randomly allocated into six experimental groups: a normal control group (NC), a diabetic nephropathy model group (DN), a low-dose QZJT treatment group (L-QZJT), a high-dose QZJT treatment group (H-QZJT), a positive control group administered Shenqi Jiangtang Granules (SQJT), and an ML385 group (treated with an inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, Nrf2). Upon successful model induction, therapeutic interventions were commenced. Renal function impairment in the mice was evaluated through quantification of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 24-hour urinary albumin (UAlb), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and the kidney-to-body mass ratio (K/B). Renal tissue pathology was evaluated using HE and PAS staining. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 were quantified by ELISA. Levels of podocyte markers and proteins involved in relevant pathways were assessed using Western blot analysis. Results Compared with the NC group, FBG, 24 h UAlb, SCr, and BUN were increased in the DN group, and the K/B mass ratio was also increased. In contrast, compared with the DN group, FBG, 24 h UAlb, SCr, and BUN in both the low-dose (L-QZJT) and high-dose Quanzhou Jintang (H-QZJT) groups were decreased, and the K/B mass ratio was decreased as well. The therapeutic efficacy of H-QZJT was comparable to that of Shenqi Jiangtang Granules. QZJT ameliorated renal histopathological injury in DN mouse, increased the protein levels of Nephrin (a podocyte marker), and decreased the protein levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), pro-caspase-1, and GSDMD-N. After ML385 treatment, renal cells exhibited swelling and morphological changes, the inflammatory infiltrate area was enlarged, the protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, and GSDMD-N were up-regulated, and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased. Conclusion QZJT may inhibit podocyte pyroptosis by acting on the Nrf2 to regulate the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway, thus improving renal damage in DN mouse.

The complexity of coding surgical procedures related to renal replacement therapy in nephrology stems from a deficiency in clinical knowledge regarding renal replacement therapies and an incomplete understanding of the classification rules within the ICD-9-CM-3 coding system.This paper delves into the clinical aspects of renal replacement therapy and organizes the corresponding coding classification rules,clarifying the codes for various treatment modalities.For instance,the establishment of dialysis access is coded as 38.95 for hemodialysis venous intubation,39.27 for vascular fistula,and 54.93 for peritoneal dialysis intubation via a cutaneous peritoneal stoma.Maintenance hemodialysis is coded as 39.95,while peritoneal dialysis is coded as 54.98.The removal of dialysis catheter is differentiated into surgical and non-surgical;surgical removal is coded as 86.05,and non-surgical removal as 97.86 or 97.89.For instances of internal fistula stenosis or thrombosis,balloon dilation is coded as 39.50.Stent implantation for stenosis or isolation of a false aneurysm is coded as 39.90 for bare stent,and 00.55 for covered stents.The resection and reconstruction involving stenosis,thrombus segments,or false aneurysms,are coded as 39.42.This classification aims to improve the accuracy of coding for such procedures.

Objective By analyzing the main diagnostic choices of inpatient records in obstetrics and the problems exist-ing in ICD codes,we can improve the quality of the main diagnostic choices and coding in obstetrics.Methods A total of 205 obstetric inpatient medical records were randomly selected from a hospital from January 1 to April 30,2024,and the medical re-cords were checked jointly by three senior coders,and the errors were summarized and analyzed by using the check table.Results Among 205 obstetrical medical records,72(35.12%)were found to have errors in the selection and coding of major diagnoses;among them,there were 55 cases of incorrect selection by clinician and incorrect compilation by coders,13 cases of correct selection by clinician,incorrect compilation or omission by coders,4 cases of omission by clinician and omission by cod-ers.Conclusion The selection and coding of the main diagnosis in obstetrics are very special and difficult,so the training of cli-nicians should be strengthened,the writing of clinicians should be standardized,and the importance of the main diagnosis selec-tion should be strengthened.At the same time,strengthen the management of coders,standardize the coding operation process,strengthen the learning of professional knowledge,improve professional reserves,strengthen the two-way communication with cli-nicians,and jointly improve the main diagnosis selection and coding accuracy rate of obstetrics,so as to ensure the quality of data on the first page of obstetric inpatient medical records.
