Granulation tissue hyperplasia after tracheotomy is a common clinical complication. Endoscopic treatment can temporarily relieve airway obstruction， however， it is associated with a high recurrence rate and poor long-term prognosis. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） Kenang （窠囊） theory and combined with modern pathological mechanisms， this paper explores its correlation with the pathogenesis of post-tracheotomy granulation tissue hyperplasia. Drawing from clinical experience in applying the Kenang theory for treatment， this paper proposes that the fundamental pathogenesis of this condition lies in qi deficiency and organ dysfunction， while phlegm and blood stasis interlocking serve as the symptomatic manifestations. The treatment focuses on resolving phlegm and promoting blood circulation， dispersing nodules and eliminating stagnation， regulating qi flow， and reinforcing the body's vital energy while expelling pathogenic factors. This approach aims to dissolve phlegm and blood stasis， dissipate the Kenang， and ultimately prevent and treat granulation tissue hyperplasia.

Objective To investigate the decolorization performance and key influencing factors of a novel low temperature plasma(LTP)on crystal violet(CV)simulated wastewater.Methods In this experiment,CV was used as the target pollutant and treated with LTP generated by argon atmospheric pressure plasma jet;the absorbance(A590)and chemical oxygen demand(COD)of CV solution were systematically evaluated before and after LTP treatment by adjusting the treatment volume,initial pH value,NaCl concentration,addition of Fe 2+and other parameters.The dynamic changes of active particles in the liquid were monitored.Results Compared with those of the control group,the A590 and COD values of LTP treatment groups were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).At the treatment time of 180 s,the decolorization rate and COD removal rate of CV solution reached 62.34％and 50.22％,respectively.Under the same treatment time(＞90 s),the A590 values in the 0.1 mol/L NaCl group,pH=9 or 11 group,and Fe2+group were lower than those in LTP-only treatment group,but the A590 values in the n-butanol group were higher(P＜0.05).The A590 values in 2 mL or 3 mL group were higher than those in 1 mL group(P＜0.05).Compared with CV solution treated with LTP,the H2O2 content in the activated water was higher while the NO3content was significantly lower than those in CV solutions(P＜0.05).Conclusion LTP has an efficient decolorization ability for CV solution.The decolorization of CV solution could be promoted by NaCl addition,Fe2+inclusion or high pH values,but was inhibited by the increase in treatment volume or the addition of n-butanol.The?OH and H2O2 generated by LTP played a key role in the decolorization process.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new combination treatment of vinorelbine and pyrotinib in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and provide higher level evidence for clinical practice. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial conducted at three institutions in China. Patients with HER2-positive MBC, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab plus a taxane or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab combined with a chemotherapeutic agent, were enrolled between March 2020 and December 2021. All patients received pyrotinib 400 mg orally once daily plus vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 intravenously or 60-80 mg/m2 orally on day 1 and day 8 of 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints included the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival, and safety. Results: A total of 39 patients were enrolled. All patients had been pretreated with trastuzumab and 23.1% (n=9) of them had accepted trastuzumab plus pertuzumab. The median follow-up time was 16.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3 to 27.2), and the median PFS was 6.4 months (95% CI, 4.0 to 8.8). The ORR was 43.6% (95% CI, 27.8% to 60.4%) and the DCR was 84.6% (95% CI, 69.5% to 94.1%). The median PFS of patients with versus without prior pertuzumab treatment was 4.6 and 8.3 months (p=0.017). The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were diarrhea (28.2%), neutrophil count decreased (15.4%), white blood cell count decreased (7.7%), vomiting (5.1%), and anemia (2.6%). Conclusion Pyrotinib plus vinorelbine showed promising efficacy and tolerable toxicity as second-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive MBC.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and radiographic effectiveness of a calcium silicate-based bioactive ceramic iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy of immature permanent teeth with complicated crown fracture and to evaluate the factors influencing its long-term success rate.Methods:The digital medical records of patients under 13 years old who had undergone iRoot BP Plus? pulpotomy in the Department of Oral Emergency or the First Clinical Division,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2017 to September 2022 due to complicated crown fracture of anterior teeth,and had taken at least one post-operation apical radiograph were reviewed.The clinical and radiographic information at the initial examination and follow-up period were obtained,including crown color,mobility,percussion,cold test(partial pulpotomy teeth),dental restoration,fistula,swelling or inflammation of the gingival tissue,the formation of apical foramen,pathologic radiolucency and calcification of pulp chamber or root canal obliteration.Data were tested by Fisher exact test and a multiple comparison.Results:In the study,64 patients including 37 males(57.8％)and 27 females(42.2％)with a mean age of 9.1 years were finally enrolled.The total number of permanent teeth that received pulpotomy was 75,and the average follow-up time was 19.3 months.The success rate was 93.1％with the time interval between dental injury and treatment in 24 h,while the success rate dropped to 88.2％with the time intervals beyond 24 h.The time intervals did not significantly affect the pulp survival rate(P=0.61)after pulpotomy(partial or co-ronal).The success rate 6 months after pulpotomy was 96.0％,and one-year success rate was 94.7％.A total of 23 cases were reviewed for more than 2 years after pulpotomy,and 6 cases failed.The mobility had no significant effect on the success rate(P=0.28).Pulp chamber calcification and pulp canal obli-teration were not observed in all the post-operative radiographs.Conclusion:The one year clinical and radiographic success rates obtained in this study indicate that iRoot BP Plus? is an appropriate pulp cap-ping material option for pulpotomy treatment of complicated crown fracture in immature permanent teeth without displacement injuries.This technique has broad promotional value.

AIM:To investigate the impact of hippocampal protein phosphatase 1 regulator subunit 17(Ppp1r17)down-regulation on drinking-related behavior in mice,and to explore the protein kinase B(PKB/AKT)/glyco-gen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)/cAMP response element binding protein(CREB)signaling pathway of Ppp1r17 in the development of alcohol dependence.METHODS:Forty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups(n=10):control group,shPpp1r17① group,shPpp1r17② group and shPpp1r17③ group.The mRNA and protein expression levels in the hippocampal tissues were evaluated after 3 weeks of AAV-shPpp1r17 injection.Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group and a shPpp1r17 group(n=10).An open-field test,conditioned place prefer-ence(CPP)test and righting reflex test were performed.Furthermore,the localization and expression of AAV-shPpp1r17 were detected after 3 weeks of AAV-shPpp1r17 injection.Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups(n=5):the empty virus+water group,the empty virus+EtOH group,the shPpp1r17+water group and the shPpp1r17+EtOH group.The EtOH group mice drank 9%alcohol continuously for 30 d.The protein expression levels of Ppp1r17,p-AKT,AKT,p-GSK-3β,GSK-3β,p-CREB and CREB were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:(1)The results of qPCR showed that Ppp1r17 was successfully suppressed by shPpp1r17.(2)The behavioral results showed that the shPpp1r17 group mice exhibited enhanced exercise ability and reduced anxiety-like emotions,and the downregulation of Ppp1r17 increased CPP scores and reduced the sensitivity of the mice to alcohol.(3)Immunofluorescence showed that AAV-shPpp1r17 was specifically expressed in the hippocampus.(4)Western blot analysis revealed that Ppp1r17 and the p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β and p-CREB/CREB ratios were significantly increased after treatment of EtOH.Howev-er,the protein expression of Ppp1r17 was significantly reduced,and the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB pathway was activated after knockdown of Ppp1r17 in the hippocampus.CONCLUSION:Ppp1r17 may suppress CREB phosphorylation through the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB pathway,thereby influencing alcohol drinking preference and locomotor behavior in mice.
