Objective To analyze the predictive value of apolipoprotein B(apoB)and apoB to apolipoprotein A1(apoA1)ratio(apoB/A1)in acute myocardial infarction(AMI)of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome.Methods A total of 200 patients with AMI confirmed by coronary angiography in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the trial period were collected.Data collection covered the basic information of gender,age,medical history of hypertension,coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus,and smoking history,the information of four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and relevant indicators of blood lipids,the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries and the Gensini scores.The predictive value of apoB and apoB/A1 for AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome was explored by univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis as well as by plotting the Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curves.Results(1)Among the 200 AMI patients,41 cases were differentiated as qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,36 cases as qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,74 cases as phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome,and 49 cases as other syndromes(including 16 cases of cold accumulation in heart vessels syndrome,22 cases of qi and yin deficiency syndrome,and 11 cases of healthy-qi deficiency and yang collapse syndrome).(2)The difference of Gensini scores among the patients with various TCM syndrome types were statistically significant(H=43.735,P=0.000<0.001).And the Gensini scores in the patients with syndromes of qi deficiency and blood stasis,qi stagnation and blood stasis,and phlegm blended with blood stasis were relatively high,being 60.0(43.0,87.0),70.0(48.5,84.0)and 65.0(40.0,95.0)points,respectively,which were higher than that of the other TCM syndrome types[44.0(32.0,64.0)points].The pairwise comparison between various TCM syndrome types showed that the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries among the patients with various TCM syndrome types(H=1.180,P=0.758>0.05).(3)The results of correlation analysis showed that the number of lesioned branches of coronary arteries,Gensini score and apoB/A1 were significantly and positively correlated(r=0.140,P=0.049<0.05;r=0.205,P=0.004<0.01).(4)The results of univariate Logistic regression analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that apoB and apoB/A1 were the independent risk factors for phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome(P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that apoB/A-1 exerted a high predictive value for AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome,with high sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion It is indicated that ApoB/A1 can be used as an objective indicator for predicting AMI of phlegm blended with blood stasis syndrome in clinical practice.

Traditional Chinese medicine of Polygonum cuspidatum has been utilized in China for thousands of years. Its primary active compound, polydatin, exhibits a variety of pharmacological effects including the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, suppression of cough and asthma, as well as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, conventional methods for polydatin production are inadequate to satisfy the market demand. This study aims to explore the green and efficient preparation of polydatin. With resveratrol as the substrate, we efficiently synthesized polydatin by using the triple mutant IGW (Y14I/I62G/M315W) of the glycosyltransferase UGT_BS based on a strategy of two-enzyme coupled with one-pot and realized the recycling of uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDPG). The conditions of the two-enzyme reaction were optimized. Under the conditions of 35 ℃, pH 8.0, IGW: AtSuSy1 activity ratio of 3:4, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) volume fraction of 5%, uridine diphosphate (UDP) concentration of 0.10 mmol/L, and sucrose concentration of 0.6 mol/L, the conversion of 2 mmol/L resveratrol reached 80.6% within 1 h, and the proportion of polydatin was over 90%. This study achieved the recycling of UDPG via a two-enzyme coupling system and shortened the reaction time. At the same time, the fed-batch strategy was adopted, and the yield of polydatin reached 6.28 g/L after 24 h in the one-pot coupling reaction, which provided a new strategy for green and efficient preparation of polydatin.

Objective To exploring the effect of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells(hAMSCs)on the re-pair of rat uterine scars.Methods The hAMSCs were isolated and cultured,Female SPF grade SD rats were selected for full-thickness incision of uterine wall and then implanted with hAMSCs.On the 30th day after op-eration,the uterine incision was examined histologically.ImageJ image analysis software was used to analyze and to compare the thickness of uterine myometrium and the percentage of fibrotic area in each group.Immuno-histochemical method was used for detecting the percentage of positive areas of α-SMA,TGF-β1,and Ki-67.Results Compared with the PBS group,the hAMSCs group showed significant thickening of the uterine mus-cle layer and fibrotic area was decreased,The positive expression of α-SMA,and Ki-67 significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the expression of TGF-β1 was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Conclusions The hAMSCs may promote the repair of uterine incision scars by reducing the formation of scar fibrosis and promoting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells in uterine scars.

Critically ill patients are at high risk for hospital acquired infections, which can significantly increase the mortality rate and treatment costs for these patients. Therefore, in the process of treating the primary disease, strict prevention and control of new hospital infections is an essential component of the treatment for critically ill patients. The treatment of critically ill patients involves multiple steps and requires a concerted effort from various aspects such as theory, management, education, standards, and supervision to achieve effective prevention and control of hospital infections. However, there is currently a lack of unified understanding and standards for hospital infection prevention and control. To address this, in March 2024, a group of experts in critical care medicine, infectious diseases, and hospital infection from China discussed the current situation and issues of hospital infection control in the intensive care unit together. Based on a review of the latest evidence-based medical evidence from both domestic and international sources, 2024 Expert Consensus on Hospital Acquired Infection Control Principles in the Department of Critical Care Medicine was formed, aiming to provide a basis for the development of hospital infection prevention and control strategies in the field of critical care medicine.

Objective:To construct an analytic method aimed at the characteristics of the commonly method of supplementing and pouring of acupuncture based on the analysis and modeling of ultrasound images around acupoint region in the process of acupuncture.Methods:A total of 7 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination in Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital from June,2022 to June,2023 were selected,and their Kongzui acupoints were acupunctured by 10 acupuncturists with associate senior title as 4 kinds of acupuncture manipulations included reinforcing by twisting and rotating(RFTR),reducing by twisting and rotating(RDTR),reinforcing by lifting and thrusting(RFLT),and reducing by lifting and thrusting(RDLT).The B-ultrasound diagnostic device was used to collect the images of muscle and fascial tissue below the acupoint,so as to construct the model of images.The definition of virtual acupuncture point was adopted to study the regulation of perturbation of subcutaneous tissue that was caused after the skin was acupunctured by needle.The change regulation of the virtual acupuncture point of muscle bundle below skin at Zuikong acupoint of subjects was analyzed.Results:The difference value of average absolution value between peak and trough of the trajectory of virtual acupuncture point of twisting and rotating was 0.066±0.045,and the average value of amplitude of this method was less than that(0.428±0.276)of lifting and thrusting method,and the twisting and rotating method was uniform and symmetrical,and there was difference between two kinds of acupuncture methods.The characteristics of computer graphics was used to qualify the work effect of lifting and thrusting,and reinforcing and reducing,which showed the heavy insertion and light lifting of RFLT,and showed heavy lifting and light insertion of RDLT,thus distinguished the two methods[(RFLT)and(RDLT)].Conclusions:The ultrasound imaging and computer graphics can be used to analyze the regularity of the common"reinforcing and reducing"method of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of Huaiqihuang Granules assisted Beliuzumab in the treatment of children with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and its adverse reaction.Methods A total of 100 children with SLE,who were admit-ted to Nanyang Central Hospital between July 2020 and July 2023,were selected.They were randomly assigned to control group A(n=33),control group B(n=33),and study group(n=34)according to simple randomization method.All three groups re-ceived conventional treatment.In addition,control group A was treated with belimumab,control group B was treated with Hua-iqihuang Granules,and the study group was treated with Huaiqihuang Granules+belimumab.All patients were treated for 24 weeks.The therapeutic effects and symptom improvement of the three groups were compared,as well as the levels of serum im-mune indicators[immunoglobulin G(IgG),complement C3,complement C4,CD3+,CD4+/CD8+],inflammatory factors[inter-leukin-2(IL-2),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP)],microRNA-200(miR-200),microRNA-335(miR-335)before and after treatment.The adverse reactions during treatment were statistically compared among the three groups.Results The difference in total effective rate between the study group(97.06％),control group A(81.82％)and control group B(78.79％)was not significant(all P＞0.05).The study group showed a shorter time for skin lesion reduction,proteinu-ria decrease,pain relief,and body temperature drop compared to the control A and B groups(all P＜0.05).After 24 weeks of treatment,the levels of serum complement C3,complement C4,peripheral blood CD3+,and CD4+/CD8+in the study group were higher than those in control group A and B.Meanwhile,the level of IgG was lower(all P＜0.05).After 24 weeks of treat-ment,the levels of serum IL-2,CRP,and peripheral blood ESR in the study group were lower than those in control group A and B(all P＜0.05).After 24 weeks of treatment,the serum miR-200 level in the study group was higher than that in control group A and B,while the serum miR-335 level was lower than that in control group A and B(all P＜0.05).The incidences of adverse reactions in the study group,control A group and control B group were 8.82％,12.12％and 6.06％,respectively,with no sig-nificant difference between groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Huaiqihuang Granules assisted belimumab demonstrates signifi-cant efficacy in the treatment of SLE in children.It can effectively enhance immune function,and exhibit good safety profile.

Objective To investigate the impact of overweight on the prognosis of patients with acute mild ischemic stroke or moderate-high risk transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods A total of 366 patients with acute mild ischemic stroke or moderate-high risk TIA who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles were included in the study. Baseline data were collected at admission, and clinical outcomes were collected within 3 months post-onset (primary outcomes: stroke recurrences within 3 months post-onset; secondary outcomes: composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death within 3 months post-onset, vascular events, and quality of life within 3 months). Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative incidence curve of outcomes. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to evaluate the relationship between overweight and clinical outcomes within 3 months post-onset in patientswith ischemic stroke or TIA. The integrated discrimination improvement index (IDI) and net reclassification improvement index (NRI) were calculated to assess the predictive value of adding body mass index (BMI, whether overweight or not) based on traditional models for predicting the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke or TIA. Results After 3 months of follow-up, 28 patients had stroke recurrence, 1 patient died, and 31 patients had vascular events. The Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve showed that the cumulative incidences of stroke recurrence, stroke recurrence or death, and vascular events after 3 months of onset were lower in overweight patients compared with non-overweight patients (Log-rank P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that compared with non-overweight patients, overweight patients had significantly reduced risks of stroke recurrence within 3 months (HR=0.24; 95%CI, 0.08 to 0.71), composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death (HR=0.24; 95%CI, 0.08 to 0.69), and vascular events (HR=0.22; 95%CI, 0.07 to 0.63), and significantly improved quality of life within 3 months (OR=0.39; 95%CI, 0.20 to 0.76). The IDI and NRI calculations showed that compared with traditional models, the new model adding BMI (whether overweight) had significantly improved predictive ability for the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke or TIA. Conclusion Overweight may be a protective factor for the prognosis of TIA patients with acute mild ischemic stroke or moderate-high risk who carry CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles. Compared with non-overweight patients, overweight patients have reduced risks of stroke recurrence, composite outcome of stroke recurrence or death, and vascular events within 3 months post-onset, and improved quality of life within 3 months post-onset.
