ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the proliferation， migration， and aerobic glycolysis of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） using cell experiments， as well as related mechanisms. MethodsHuman liver cancer cell line Huh7 was selected， and Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank serum group， inhibitor group， and high-， middle-， and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups. Rat serum containing the drug was prepared for the incubation of Huh7 cells. CCK8 assay and scratch assay were used to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the proliferation and migration of HCC cells； glycolytic rate-limiting enzymes and metabolites were measured to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on aerobic glycolysis of liver cancer cells； RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to explore the effect of Biejia Decoction Pill on the mRNA expression， related proteins， and phosphorylation of the protein kinase B （AKT）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test or the Dunnett’s T3 test were used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the blank serum group， the Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in OD value， migration rate during different periods of time， glycolytic rate-limiting enzymes （hexokinase， phosphofructokinase， pyruvate kinase）， and glycolytic metabolites （pyruvate， lactic acid， ATP） （all P<0.05）. RT-qPCR results showed that compared with the blank serum group， the high-， middle-， and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had a significant reduction in the mRNA expression level of mTOR， and the high- and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had a significant reduction in the mRNA expression level of AKT （all P<0.05）. Western blot results showed that compared with the blank serum group， the high-， middle-， and low-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in the expression levels of mTOR-related proteins and phosphorylated proteins， and the high- and middle-dose Biejia Decoction Pill groups had significant reductions in the expression levels of AKT-related proteins and phosphorylated proteins （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThis study preliminarily verifies that the serum containing Bijia Decoction Pill can inhibit the aerobic glycolysis of human hepatoma Huh7 cells， thereby inhibiting their proliferation and migration， possibly by inhibiting the expression of the proteins related to the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).Methods:A cross-sectional study and analysis were conducted to summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 9 918 patients with CNS infectious diseases, who were diagnosed and treated at 29 hospitals across China from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2020. Data collected included demographic data, clinical manifestations, health economic indicators, and prognostic outcomes.Results:Among the 9 918 collected cases of CNS infectious diseases, 5 559 were male (56.0%) and 4 359 were female (44.0%), with an onset age of 38 (25, 53) years. Education level: slightly more junior high school education (2 651 cases, 26.7%), and less elementary school education and below (2 181 cases, 22.0%) were found. Occupational distribution: farmers were found predominant (3 215 cases, 32.4%), followed by workers (1 826 cases, 18.4%) and students (1 633 cases, 16.5%). Clinical manifestations: headache (6 074 cases, 61.2%), fever (5 869 cases, 59.2%) and positive meningeal irritation signs (2 273 cases, 22.9%) were the 3 most common clinical manifestations, followed by nausea and (or) vomiting (2 095 cases, 21.1%), impaired consciousness (2 077 cases, 20.9%), psychiatric symptom (1 866 cases, 18.8%) and epilepsy (1 627 cases, 16.4%), etc., and cranial nerve involvement was found in 669 cases (6.7%). Major pathogens included viruses in 6 814 cases (68.7%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1 677 cases (16.9%), common bacteria in 864 cases (8.7%), fungi in 254 cases (2.6%), spirochetes of syphilis in 183 cases (1.8%), parasites in 121 cases (1.2%), and rickettsiae in 5 cases (0.1%). Urban-rural distribution: slightly more cases were found in the countryside (5 418 cases, 54.6%) than in the towns (4 500 cases, 45.4%). Distribution of onset by season: 2 412 cases (24.3%) fell ill in spring, 2 835 cases (28.6%) in summer, 2 187 cases (22.1%) in fall, and 2 484 cases (25.0%) in winter. Health economics: the duration of hospitalization was 15 (8, 27) days, and the cost of hospitalization was 1.53 (0.91, 3.02)×10 000 yuan. Prognosis: 9 531 cases (96.1%) were cured or improved, and 92 cases (0.9%) died. Conclusions:The pathogens responsible for CNS infectious diseases are predominantly viruses. Although the incidence is slightly higher during the summer months, the overall seasonal pattern is not particularly pronounced. These infections are more commonly observed in young and middle-aged males and present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, contributing to a significant disease burden.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To use pan-genomics and subtractive proteomics techniques to screen the new antibacterial targets from the Staphylococcus aureus genome,and to lay the foundation for the development of anti-Staphylococcus aureus drugs.Methods:The genome sequencing data of 50 strains with sequencing level Complete were collected by searching the whole genome sequencing data in the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI)Database with Staphylococcus aureus as the keyword;BPGA tool was used to conduct the pan-genomics analysis on the genomic data to obtain the core genes of Staphylococcus aureus;subtractive proteomics technique was used to screen the potential antibacterial targets from the core genes.These potential antibacterial targets were used as the receptors;LibDock software was used to screen the potential anti-Staphylococcus aureus drugs from the US Food and Drug Administration(FDA)-approved drug library;molecular docking technology was used to analyze the binding abilities of the drugs and targets.Results:There were 14 379 gene families in the 50 Staphylococcus aureus genomes,of which 1 620 were the core genes.The subtractive proteomics analysis results showed that tyrosine autokinase 1335 was the potential anti-Staphylococcus aureus target.LibDock software screened out nine compounds,including balofloxacin,tenofovir disoproxil fumarate,and adefovir,that may exert anti-Staphylococcus aureus effects on this target protein.The molecular docking results showed there was good binding abilities between the targets and the compounds.Conclusion:Tyrosine autokinase may be the potential target for antii-Staphylococcus aureus.

Objective:To investigate the birth weight (BW) of infants born to pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and its associated factors, and to provide more evidence for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) in China.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Between January 2004 and December 2021, pregnant women living with HIV and their infants in Hubei Province were recruited and followed up, and clinical data were collected through hospital medical records and HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome comprehensive response information management system. The multivariable linear regression was performed on the collected data to investigate associated influencing factors of BW.Results:In total, 531 pregnant women living with HIV (581 pregnancies) and 581 infants were enrolled. Of the 581 infants, 36 were HIV-positive, with a PMTCT rate of 6.2%. The mean BW of the infants was (3 075.0±470.2) gram. Protease inhibitor (PI) based-anti-retroviral therapy (ART) ( β=-0.1, 95% confidence interval ( CI)-188.2 to -37.1, P=0.004), ART in the first trimester( β=-0.1, 95% CI -201.9 to -65.5, P<0.001), infant HIV infection ( β=-0.1, 95% CI -310.4 to -68.2, P=0.002), hepatitis C virus infection ( β=0.1, 95% CI 71.2 to 410.4, P=0.005) and gestational age ( β=0.6, 95% CI 155.9 to 191.5, P<0.001) were associated with decreased BW. Conclusions:While improving the effectiveness of PMTCT for HIV, more attention should be paid to pregnant women who received ART in the first trimester and PI-based ART for preventing lower BW and improving maternal and infantile health.

Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical-application values of whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology to detect the drug resistance feature of second-line injectable drugs (SLIDs) for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment.Methods:The proportional-method drug sensitivity test and the whole gene sequencing technology were used to simultaneously examine the resistance of three SLIDs: kanamycin (Km) and Amikacin(Am) and capreomycin (Cm) in 172 multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR) strains preserved in the strain bank of the Tuberculosis Laboratory of Shenzhen Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Center from 2013 to 2017. The proportional-susceptibility tests were considered as the gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and consistency of WGS results. The samples with differences between the two methods were compared with the minimum inhibitory concentration detection method. The McNemar test was used to statistically analyze the detection rates of the two methods, and a P value<0.05 indicated the significant difference between two groups. Results:A total of 172 MDR strains were included in this study. Two mutated genes were identified by the WGS examination: rrs and eis. Among these genes, rrs-A1401G mutation occurred in 58.3% in Am resistant strains, 14/18 in Km resistant strains or 14/14 in Cm resistant strains, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and consistency of WGS predicted Am were 14/15, 93.6%, and 68.0%, 15/15, 98.1%, and 90.0% in Km, or 14/15, 100%, and 96.0% in Cm. There were 13 strains with inconsistent results by the two methods. One strain was retested by MIC as a drug-resistant strain and other 12 strains were sensitive. There were 11 strains with inconsistent Am test results, and WGS test results showed that 8 strains had rrs-514-A/C mutations, while DST and MIC tests were sensitive. Conclusion:WGS is enough is sensitive and specific for diagnosing SLIDs resistance.

Objective To discuss the techniques and methods of surgery for brain gliomas located in eloquent areas at awake anesthesia. Methods Nineteen patients with brain gliomas in eloquent areas, admitted to our hospital from December 2014 to May 2017, were operated under awake anesthesia with neuronavigation and intraoperative ultrasonography for locating the lesions and intraoperative direct electrical stimulation for functional mapping of the eloquent areas. All patients were followed up from 3 to 18 months; the surgical efficacies were analyzed. Results Of 19 patients, 18 (94.74％) were achieved awake and alert during brain mapping and resection of the tumors;17 (89.47％) were detected the motor areas by intraoperative direct electrical stimulation, 6 (31.58％) were detected the sensory cortex and 12 (63.16％) were detected language related cortex. Of 19 patients, MR imaging 2-3 months after surgery indicated that 5 (26.32％) received total resection of lesions, 9 (47.37％) subtotal resection of lesions and 5 (26.32％) partial resection of lesions. Seven patients (36.84％) had transitory postoperative aphasia, 4 (21.05％) were with transitory postoperative dyskinesia and one (5.26％) with permanent dyskinesia. Conclusion Comprehensive applications of awake anesthesia, neuronavigation, intraoperative ultrasonography and intraoperative direct electrical stimulation technologies allow maximum safe resection of gliomas in eloquent areas and protection of brain function.
