OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrawound vancomycin powder for preventing surgical site infections in total knee and total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Computer retrieval of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, The clinical research about intrawound vancomycin in total knee arthroplasty(TKA) and total hip arthroplasty(THA) for the prevention of surgical site infections were screened. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS Finally, 20 literature were included, including 1 prospective randomized controlled trial, 2 prospective cohort study, and 17 retrospective cohort study, with a total of 34900 patients. Meta-analysis showed that interventional group had a decreased tolal rate of prosthetic joint infection(PJI)[OR=0.44, 95%CI(0.35−0.56), P<0.000 01] and superficial infection[OR=0.27, 95%CI(0.19−0.41), P<0.000 01]compared with control group. Subgroup analysis showed that TKA and THA, primary and revision patients who received intrawound vancomycin had lower rates of PJI, the differences were statistical significance(P<0.05). Meta-analysis of 11 studies reported adverse reaction suggested that the total rate of adverse reactions in the intervention group(7.68%) was higher than that in the control group(5.68%) with significant differences[OR=1.47, 95%CI(1.14−1.89), P=0.003)]. CONCLUSION The current literature suggests that intrawound vancomycin can decrease the rate of PJI and superficial infection in primary and revision TKA and THA , however, it may increase risk of aseptic wound complications and other adverse reaction.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(IVR)and intravitreal injection of conbercept(IVC)in children with retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 1 100 eyes with ROP treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF at our hospital from January 2015 to June 2023 were included. According to the different therapeutic drugs, the children were divided into two groups: IVR group and IVC group. According to the degree of ROP, the patients were divided into three groups: aggressive ROP(A-ROP), Zone Ⅰ type 1 ROP and Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP. The reactivation and retreatment between the two groups were compared after propensity score matching(PSM)analysis, and they were followed-up for at least 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: In Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP, there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the IVR and IVC groups(P<0.05); however, in A-ROP and Zone I type 1 ROP, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the two groups(P>0.05). The risk of reactivation and retreatment of Zone I type 1 ROP was higher than the Zone II type 1 ROP. Furthermore, the use of drugs and corrected gestational age of first treatment were influencing factors of lesion recurrence and retreatment.CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the initial cure effect between the two drugs in Zone II type 1 ROP, with the reactivation and retreatment rates of the IVC group being much lower than those of the IVR group.

Aim To explore the possible mechanism of "component-target-pathway" of Radix Hedysari against target organ damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and to verify the " dose-effect" relationship of the main active components. Methods TCMSP, Uniprot, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, Cytoscape, Omicshare and other platforms were used for network pharmacology analysis. Autodock, Pymol and Ligplot were used for molecular docking. The water extract of Radix Hedysari was used for animal experiment verification. The contents of eight main components were determined by HPLC. Results Four active components, eight key targets and four key pathways of Radix Hedysari were identified to resist the damage of target organs caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Molecular docking showed that formononetin and quercetin had good binding activity with HSP90AA1, naringenin and MAPK3, and ursolic acid and TP53. Animal experiments showed that gastrointestinal factors MTL and VIP increased significantly, liver and kidney factors Cr, BUN, AST and ALT decreased significantly, inflammatory factor IL-10 increased significantly and TNF-a decreased significantly. The content of ononm was the highest (2 . 884 8 µg • g "

Objective To evaluate the bioequivalence and safety of ezetimibe tablets in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods The study was designed as a single-center,randomized,open-label,two-period,two-way crossover,single-dose trail.Subjects who met the enrollment criteria were randomized into fasting administration group and postprandial administration group and received a single oral dose of 10 mg of the subject presparation of ezetimibe tablets or the reference presparation per cycle.The blood concentrations of ezetimibe and ezetimibe-glucuronide conjugate were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS),and the bioequivalence of the 2 preparations was evaluated using the WinNonlin 7.0 software.Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to evaluate the bioequivalence of the 2 preparations.The occurrence of all adverse events was also recorded to evaluate the safety.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of total ezetimibe in the plasma of the test and the reference after a single fasted administration:Cmax were(118.79±35.30)and(180.79±51.78)nmol·mL-1;tmax were 1.40 and 1.04 h;t1/2 were(15.33±5.57)and(17.38±7.24)h;AUC0-t were(1 523.90±371.21)and(1 690.99±553.40)nmol·mL-1·h;AUC0-∞ were(1 608.70±441.28),(1 807.15±630.00)nmol·mL-1·h.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of total ezetimibe in plasma of test and reference after a single meal:Cmax were(269.18±82.94)and(273.93±87.78)nmol·mL-1;Tmax were 1.15 and 1.08 h;t1/2 were(22.53±16.33)and(16.02±5.84)h;AUC0_twere(1 463.37±366.03),(1 263.96±271.01)nmol·mL-1·h;AUC0-∞ were(1 639.01±466.53),(1 349.97±281.39)nmol·mL-1·h.The main pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax,AUC0-tand AUC0-∞ of the two preparations were analyzed by variance analysis after logarithmic transformation.In the fasting administration group,the 90％CI of the log-transformed geometric mean ratios were within the bioequivalent range for the remaining parameters in the fasting dosing group,except for the Cmax of ezetimibe and total ezetimibe,which were below the lower bioequivalent range.The Cmax of ezetimibe,ezetimibe-glucuronide,and total ezetimibe in the postprandial dosing group was within the equivalence range,and the 90％CI of the remaining parameters were not within the equivalence range for bioequivalence.Conclusion This test can not determine whether the test preparation and the reference preparation of ezetimibe tablets have bioequivalence,and further clinical trials are needed to verify it.

Purpose::Traumatic brain injury (TBI), currently a major global public health problem, imposes a significant economic burden on society and families. We aimed to quantify and predict the incidence and severity of TBI by analyzing its incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs). The epidemiological changes in TBI from 1990 to 2019 were described and updated to provide a reference for developing prevention, treatment, and incidence-reducing measures for TBI.Methods::A secondary analysis was performed on the incidence, prevalence, and YLDs of TBI by sex, age group, and region ( n =21,204 countries and territories) between 1990 and 2019 using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019. Proportions in the age-standardized incidence rate due to underlying causes of TBI and proportions of minor and moderate or severe TBI were also reported. Results::In 2019, there were 27.16 million (95% uncertainty intervals ( UI): 23.36 -31.42) new cases of TBI worldwide, with age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates of 346 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 298 -401) and 599 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 573 -627), respectively. From 1990 to 2019, there were no significant trends in global age-standardized incidence (estimated annual percentage changes: -0.11%, 95% UI: -0.18% --0.04%) or prevalence (estimated annual percentage changes: 0.01%, 95% UI: -0.04% -0.06%). TBI caused 7.08 million (95% UI: 5.00 -9.59) YLDs in 2019, with age-standardized rates of 86.5 per 100,000 population (95% UI: 61.1 -117.2). In 2019, the countries with higher incidence rates were mainly distributed in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and Australia. The 2019 global age-standardized incidence rate was higher in males than in females. The 2019 global incidence of moderate and severe TBI was 182.7 per 100,000 population, accounting for 52.8% of all TBI, with falls and road traffic injuries being the main causes in most regions. Conclusions::The incidence of moderate and severe TBI was slightly higher in 2019, and TBI still accounts for a significant portion of the global injury burden. The likelihood of moderate to severe TBI and the trend of major injury under each injury cause from 1990 to 2019 and the characteristics of injury mechanisms in each age group are presented, providing a basis for further research on injury causes in each age group and the future establishment of corresponding policies and protective measures.

Objective:To explore Nursing Management course design and teaching management reform under the guidance of the concept of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA).Methods:The PDCA cycle was implemented in four stages and eight steps throughout the course design and teaching management of Nursing Management. With each class as a small cycle and the whole course as a big cycle, the teaching objectives, teaching content, teaching methods, teaching implementation, classroom quality, and learning effects were dynamically controlled. The implementation effects were evaluated through assessments and feedbacks.Results:The qualitative analysis showed that the teaching design was reasonable, the teaching objectives were specific, and the teaching content was clear in hierarchy and appropriate in arrangement and organization; and peers and experts rated classroom performance excellent. The quantitative analysis showed that the students' process assessment score was (88.14±1.23), written test score was (80.21±6.25), and average overall score was (82.60±4.43), all with significant improvements in horizontal and vertical comparisons; and the students had improvements in management awareness, management ability, practical application ability, and self-confidence, with a high degree of satisfaction with the course.Conclusions:PDCA-guided whole-process management can optimize the course teaching design of Nursing Management, which is conducive to developing students' management practice abilities and improving teaching quality.

Objective To explore the application value of simultaneous multi-slice(SMS)technique in diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)for evaluating brain glioma.Methods Thirty-four brain glioma patients were prospectively enrolled,and brain conventional DTI and SMS-DTI were acquired.The subjective scores of image quality,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were compared between SMS-DTI and conventional DTI,so were the numbers of whole brain fiber bundles,tumor relative fractional anisotropy(rFA)and relative mean diffusivity(rMD)obtained based on SMS-DTI and conventional DTI.Results Among 34 patients,there were 23 cases of high-grade glioma and 11 cases of low-grade glioma.No significant difference of subjective scores of image quality,tumor edge clarity nor magnetic susceptibility artifacts was found between SMS-DTI and conventional DTI(all P＞0.05).SNR and CNR on SMS-DTI were both lower than those on conventional DTI(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of the numbers of whole brain fiber bundles,rFA nor rMD of gliomas with different pathological grades was detected based on SMS-DTI compared with those on conventional DTI(all P＞0.05).Conclusion SMS applicated in DTI for evaluating brain gliomas was able to shorten acquisition time under the condition of ensuring image quality and quantitative analysis accuracy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism by which exosomes secreted from human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) regulate pancreatic cancer (PC) cells.Methods:The exosomes secreted by BMSCs were extracted and identified. Human PC cell lines (PANC-1 and AsPC-1) were then divided into 3 groups: simple cell group, exosome group and inhibitor group. For inhibitor group, PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway inhibitor LY294002 was added, followed by exosomes. Subsequently, the protein expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) protein kinase B(AKT) and their phosphorylated types was detected by Western-blot, and the contents of PC cell markers B7-H4 and CA199 were detected by ELISA kit. The CCK-8 experiment was mainly conducted to detect the proliferation ability of cells, the flow cytometry to detect apoptosis, and the Transwell experiment to detect the migration and invasion ability of cells.Results:The exosomes secreted by BMSCs were extracted successfully. The expression of PC cell markers B7-H4 and CA199, the proliferation rate, and the invasion and migration ability of cancer cells were all decreased for both PANC-1 and AsPC-1, while the apoptosis rate increased, all of which had statistical significance ( P<0.001). There were no significant differences for the above parameter in inhibitor group compared with the simple cell group ( P>0.05). The p-PI3K and p-Akt of PANC-1 cells in simple cell group were (5.81±1.87), (5.30±1.21), while up-regulated to (12.74±3.28), (11.22±2.35) with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001) after exosomes were added. Meanwhile, the above 2 kinds of protein expression of AsPC-1 cells in simple cell group were (4.75±0.87), (4.15±1.32), while increased to (10.83±3.19), (9.28±2.33) in exosome group with statistically significant differences ( P<0.001). On the other hand, there was no significant differences for the protein expression of P-PI3K and P-AKT in inhibitor group ( P>0.05) compared with the simple cell group. Conclusion:Exosomes secreted by BMSCS can inhibit the proliferation of PC cells and its migration and invasion ability by activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thus playing a role in antitumor effect.

Long term retention of hemodialysis catheters in blood vessels can lead to the formation of fibrin sheath, which is one of the main reasons causing catheter dysfunction. This study aims to explore a new in situ tube replacement technique that breaks through the binding of fibrin sheath. The tunnel-cuffed catheters of right internal jugular vein due to dysfunction were reimplanted with a double guide wire combined with balloon catheter sheathing technique in seven patients. The surgery successfully broke through the fibrin sheath constraint, and postoperative catheter dialysis proceeded smoothly, and none had catheter dysfunction during 6 months of follow-up. The double guide wire combined with balloon catheter sheathing technique is a safe and effective method in situ catheterization.
