Forty adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:the control group,Salmonella typhimurium(S.typhimurium)(ST)group,phlorizin(PHZ)+S.typhimuri-um(ST)group,and PHZ(80 mg/kg)group,with 10 mice in each group.Morphological observa-tion,HE staining,ELISA,immunofluorescence and Western blot were performed,the results showed that PHZ significantly increased the cecal index,decreased the spleen index of S.typhi-murium-induced mice(P＜0.05),and reduce the pathological damage of cecum in mice.Mean-while,PHZ treatment also significantly reduced colonization of S.typhimurium in the cecum,spleen,mesenteric lymph nodes and liver(P＜0.05).The results of ELISA showed that PHZ treatment also significantly inhibited the S.ty phimurium-induced increase in the expression of IL-1β,INF-γ,TNF-a and IL-6 in the cecum of mice(P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that PHZ significantly increased the protein expression levels of Occludin,Claudin-3,and ZO-1 in the cecal barrier of mice induced by S.typhimurium(P＜0.05).These results con-firmed that phlorizin could improve cecal inflammation and intestinal barrier damage induced by S.typhimurium in mice.

Objective To compare the differences in clinical features and treatment choices between periph-eral spondyloarthritis(pSpA)and axial spondyloarthritis(axSpA),and better understand the clinical charac-teristics and medication needs of pSpA.Methods Our study is a retrospective cohort study.The patients who first visited the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 and were diagnosed with axSpA or pSpA according to the classification criteria established by the Assess-ment of SpondyloArthritis International Society were selected as the study subjects.Demographic data,clinical characteristics,laboratory tests,and treatment information of these patients were obtained through the electronic medical records management system and the intelligent management system for spondyloarthritis.The research compared the distribution of swollen and tender joints between pSpA and axSpA patients,as well as that between pSpA1(excluding patients with psoriatic arthritis)and axSpA patients.Additionally,we analyzed differences in clinical features and treatment options among these groups.Results A total of 1639 pa-tients were included in the study,of which 184 had pSpA(including 97 with psoriatic arthritis),and 1455 had axSpA.Compared to axSpA patients,pSpA patients had fewer male patients(62.5％vs.79.7％,P＜0.001),later onset age(33.8 years vs.22.0 years,P＜0.001),shorter diagnostic delays(6.0 months vs.14.2 months,P=0.004),more associated peripheral arthritis(71.7％vs.9.3％,P＜0.001)and dac-tylitis(6.5％vs.0.3％,P＜0.001),more cases of psoriasis(52.7％vs.1.1％,P＜0.001)and a more common family history of psoriasis(11.4％vs.3.4％,P＜0.001).pSpA patients had higher levels of in-flammatory markers but a lower positive rate of human leukocyte antigen(HLA)-B27(43.5％vs.87.4％,P＜0.001).A positive HLA-B27 was associated with an earlier onset age,fewer cases of psoriasis,and a fami-ly history of ankylosing spondylitis.pSpA patients had a higher proportion of using conventional synthetic dis-ease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(csDMARDs),biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(bDMARDs),and oral glucocorticoids,and they also more frequently used a combination of bDMARDs and csDMARDs(19.0％vs.12.2％,P=0.009)or multiple csDMARDs(65.8％vs.12.5％,P＜0.001).Compared to axSpA patients,pSpA1 patients(excluding psoriatic arthritis)did not show significant differences in the prevalence of psoriasis,uveitis,family history of psoriasis,or the use of bDMARDs,but the subgroup analysis of other variables was consistent with the results of pSpA patients.Conclusions pSpA patients tend to have a later onset of disease,a lower proportion of male and HLA-B27 positivity,more associ-ated peripheral arthritis,dactylitis,psoriasis,and a more common family history of psoriasis.The disease bur-den in terms of treatment for pSpA is not lower than that for axSpA.Due to the presence of more peripheral symptoms,psoriasis,and higher levels of inflammation,they also require more medication.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic values of detections of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA combined with peripheral blood cyclin A mRNA and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) mRNA for cervical squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:Eighty patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated in Jiangyin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to October 2021 were selected as the research objects. Eighty patients with benign cervical lesions such as cervicitis treated in the same period were selected as the control. The levels of HPV-DNA in paraffin-embedded tissues of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were detected by gene chip, and the mRNA expression levels of cyclin A and CDK2 in peripheral blood monocytes were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The related factors of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Taking the results of pathological biopsy as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of HPV-DNA, peripheral blood cyclin A mRNA and CDK2 mRNA single and combined detection for cervical squamous cell carcinoma were determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The positive rate of HPV-DNA in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma was higher than that in the control group [75.00% (60/80) vs. 13.75% (11/80), P < 0.05]; the relative expressions of cyclin A mRNA and CDK2 mRNA in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma were 0.26±0.08 and 1.49±0.07, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group (0.11±0.03 and 1.14±0.06), and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the number of induced abortions > 1 ( OR = 3.093, 95% CI 1.386-6.899, P = 0.021), the age of first birth ≤18 years old ( OR = 3.684, 95% CI 1.651-8.219, P = 0.013), the positive HPV-DNA ( OR = 4.125, 95% CI 1.849-9.202, P = 0.001), the increased relative expression of cyclin A mRNA in peripheral blood ( OR = 3.800, 95% CI 1.703-8.478, P = 0.006) and the increased relative expression of CDK2 mRNA in peripheral blood ( OR = 4.821, 95% CI 2.161-10.756, P = 0.008) were risk factors for the occurrence of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of HPV-DNA, peripheral blood cyclin A mRNA and CDK2 mRNA in single and combined diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were 0.769 (95% CI 0.700-0.838), 0.756 (95% CI 0.688-0.823), 0.755 (95% CI 0.689-0.820) and 0.827 (95% CI 0.766-0.888), respectively. Conclusions:HPV-DNA and the levels of cyclin A mRNA and CDK2 mRNA in peripheral blood can be used to assist in the diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and the combination of the three has high diagnostic efficiency.

Objective To investigate effects of laryngeal mask ventilation combined with continuous nerve block analgesia versus the endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia on postoperative lung infection in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery,so as to provide a theoretical basis for a reasonable anesthesia method.Methods A total of 180 elderly patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery at our hospital from January 2016 to December 2016 were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups.The control group (n =90) were treated with endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia and intravenous analgesia after the operation,and the observation group (n =90)received the ultrasound-guided continuous nerve block analgesia in spontaneous respiration with laryngeal mask ventilation.The anesthetic dosage,awakening time,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,and incidence of lung infections at 7 days after surgery were compared between the two groups.Pathogenic strains causing lung infections were isolated and identified.Results The anesthetic dosage was lower in the observation group than in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).The awaking time was shorter in the observation group than in the control group[(22.4±4.4) min vs.(34.1±8.5)min,P ＜0.05].The VAS scores under postoperative exercise were lower in the observation group than in the control group(P ＜0.05).The adverse reaction rate after surgery was lower in the observation group than in control group(3.3％ or 3/90 cases vs.41.1％ or 37/90 cases,P ＜0.05).The incidence of lung infections at 7 days after surgery was lower in the observation group than in the control group(3.3％ or 3/90 cases vs.11.1％ or 10/90 cases,P＜0.05).Ten pathogenic strains were isolated from control group,of which 9 strains were gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 90.0％.Three pathogenic strains were isolated from the observation group,of which 2 strains were gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 66.7％.Conclusions Laryngeal mask ventilation combined with continuous nerve block analgesia can reduce the anesthetic dosage,shorten the awaking time,provide a better analgesic effect and decrease the incidence of lung infections in elderly patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedics.The main pathogenic bacteria are gram-negative bacteria.

Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), the major effective component of ginseng, has been shown to have multiple bioactivities, but low oral bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop a simple, sensitive and rapid high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, which could be used to validate and quantify the concentrations of Rg1 and its metabolites in Sprague-Dawley rat bile, urine, and feces after oral administration (25 mg/kg). Calibration curves offered satisfactory linearity (>0.995) within the determined ranges. Both intra-day and inter-day variances were less than 15%, and the accuracy was within 80-120%. The excretion recoveries of Rg1, ginsenoside Rh1 (Rh1), and protopanaxatriol (Ppt) in bile, urine, and feces combined were all greater than 70%. The fecal excretion recoveries of Rg1, Rh1, and Ppt were 40.11%, 22.19%, and 22.88%, respectively, whereas 6.88% of Rg1 and 0.09% of Rh1 were excreted in bile. Urinary excretion accounted for only 0.04% of Rg1. In conclusion, the observed excretion profiles for Rg1 and its metabolites after oral administration are helpful for understanding the poor oral bioavailability of Rg1 and will aid further investigations of Rg1 as a pharmacologically active component.

As a kind of polyphenolic phytoalexin,resveratrol exerts protective roles in anti-tumor,antiinflammatory and promoting metabolism.Resveratrol's anti-tumor mechanisms may be involved in upregulating tumor suppressor microRNAs and downregulating oncogenic microRNAs,and affect its relative pathways and target genes in different cancers such as colon cancers and breast cancers.This will provide a new theoretical basis for the further clarification of resveratrol-associated tumor suppressing mechanisms and its application to the clinical.

ObjectiveTo investigate the developmental status and their relationship of self-supporting personality and career maturity of medical students.Methods450 medical students were surveyed by self-supporting personality scale and career maturity questionnaire.Descriptive statistical analysis,t-test,correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to do data analysis.Results ( 1 ) Most dimensions of self-supporting personality such as personal initiative,interpersonal initiative,interpersonal flexibility and personal responsibility were positively related to the career maturity ( r=0.53,P＜0.01 ; r=0.49,P＜0.01; r=0.46,P＜0.01 ; r=0.45,P＜ 0.01 ).(2)Career maturity of medical students can be positively predicted by several dimensions of self-supporting personality ( R2 =0.49,F=60.10,P＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionThe career maturity of medical students is closely associated with their self-supporting personality.
