OBJECTIVE To analyze the current situation of drug use in domestic aeromedical rescue， and provide references for the development of aeromedical rescue services and the rational use of drugs on board. METHODS All literature on aeromedical rescue in China were retrieved from the databases of SinoMed， CNKI， VIP， and Wanfang data up to September 1st， 2024. Extracting descriptive analysis were conducted on the literature screened by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 36 literature were included. Aeromedical rescue cases had been reported in China since 1985， with a cumulative total of 5 370 cases reported. Prehospital rescue performed 861 cases， with 96.40% of them involving the use of at least 9 categories， totaling at least 10 different drugs， primarily emergency drugs. Interhospital rescue performed 4 509 cases， and 85.23% of them used over 48 kinds of drugs across 19 categories， mainly emergency drugs supplemented by specialty drugs. From the view of transportation， 5 166 air transfers were made by helicopters， of which 88.00% involved the use of drugs， and 204 cases by fixed-wing aircraft， of which 91.18% involved the use of drugs. CONCLUSIONS Drugs are frequently used in aeromedical rescue involving a wide variety of types in China. It is imperative to strengthen the focus on the equipment and rational use of drugs in aeromedical rescue， thereby facilitating the establishment of a standardized theoretical framework.

Background: and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture. Results: The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of Xinnao shutong capsule alleviating cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury （CIRI） in rats by regulating the ferroptosis pathway. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group， model group， Xinnao shutong low-dose， high-dose group （220， 440 mg/kg）， Ginkgo biloba leaves extract group （positive control， 150 mg/kg）. Each group of rats was orally administered with the corresponding medication/normal saline for 7 consecutive days. Transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was adopted to induce the CIRI model； the samples were taken 24 h after the operation； the cerebral infarction area of rats was detected， and the cerebral infarction rate was calculated. The pathological changes of brain tissues were observed， and the levels of lipid peroxide （LPO）， malondialdehyde （MDA） and glutathione （GSH） in cerebral tissue were detected； mRNA and protein expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase 1（HO-1） and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） were all detected in cerebral tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with model group， the cerebral infarction rate， the content of total iron in cerebral tissue and serum level of LPO （except for Ginkgo biloba leaves extract group and Xinnao shutong low-dose group） were all decreased significantly in G. biloba leaves extract group and Xinnao shutong groups （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the serum level of GSH， the protein and mRNA expressions of Nrf2， HO-1 and GPX4 were all increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological damage to brain tissue was reduced， the number of nerve cells increased， the edema was alleviated， and the nuclear membrane was flattened. CONCLUSIONS Xinnao shutong capsule can inhibit ferroptosis and reduce CIRI， the mechanism of which may be associated with the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway.

This paper analyzed the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and western medical understanding of coronary microvascular disease （CMVD） from the three dimensions of "disease-syndrome-symptom". In western medicine， by summarizing the suspected diagnosis and understanding of CMVD， it is believed that inflammatory responses and vascular endothelial damage are the key mechanisms of the pathogenesis. From the perspective of TCM， the disease location is at blood， vessels and heart， and the fundamental cause is spleen and kidney depletion， closely realted to phlegm， stasis， toxin， wind and qi. Integrating the understanding of both TCM and western medicine， clinical treatment advocates taking the CMVD pathology as the base， and the TCM understanding of pathogenesis as the main focus. The properties of Chinese herbal medicinals is used as the guidance for medication， and the pharmacological understanding as the assisstance of treatment， with the medical history and the severity of the condition are additionally considered. It is finally proposed that during the acute phase， the methods of nourishing yin and resolving toxins， softening hardness and dissipating masses， dispelling wind and unblocking collaterals should be applied to alleviate the emergency. In the subacute phase， the focus should be on raising and lifting qi promote its movement， with flexible use of medicinals that can unblock yang. In the remission phase， the method of tonifying spleen and fortifying kidney should be used to maintain the stability of the condition.

Background::Hypothermia therapy has been suggested to attenuate myocardial necrosis; however, the clinical implementation as a valid therapeutic strategy has failed, and new approaches are needed to translate into clinical applications. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel selective intracoronary hypothermia (SICH) device in mitigating myocardial reperfusion injury.Methods::This study comprised two phases. The first phase of the SICH was performed in a normal porcine model for 30 minutes ( n = 5) to evaluate its feasibility. The second phase was conducted in a porcine myocardial infarction (MI) model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion which was performed by balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 60 minutes and maintained for 42 days. Pigs in the hypothermia group ( n = 8) received hypothermia intervention onset reperfusion for 30 minutes and controls ( n = 8) received no intervention. All animals were followed for 42 days. Cardiac magnetic resonance analysis (five and 42 days post-MI) and a series of biomarkers/histological studies were performed. Results::The average time to lower temperatures to a steady state was 4.8 ± 0.8 s. SICH had no impact on blood pressure or heart rate and was safely performed without complications by using a 3.9 F catheter. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were lower at 60 min post perfusion in pigs that underwent SICH as compared with the control group. On day 5 post MI/R, edema, intramyocardial hemorrhage, and microvascular obstruction were reduced in the hypothermia group. On day 42 post MI/R, the infarct size, IL-6, CRP, BNP, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 were reduced, and the ejection fraction was improved in pigs that underwent SICH.Conclusions::The SICH device safely and effectively reduced the infarct size and improved heart function in a pig model of MI/R. These beneficial effects indicate the clinical potential of SICH for treatment of myocardial reperfusion injury.

Aim To explore the mechanism and mate-rial basis of Shenkang injection(SKI)in the treatment of renal fibrosis(RF)by bioinformatics and in vitro experiments.Methods The differentially expressed genes of RF were screened by GEO database.With the help of CMAP database,based on the similarity princi-ple of gene expression profile,the drugs that regulated RF were repositioned,and then the components of SKI potential treatment RF were screened by molecular fin-gerprint similarity analysis.At the same time,the core targets and pathways of SKI regulating RF were predic-ted based on network pharmacology.Finally,it was verified by molecular docking and cell experiments.Results Based on the GEO database,two RF-related data sets were screened,and CMAP was relocated to three common RF therapeutic drugs(saracatinib,da-satinib,pp-2).Molecular fingerprint similarity analysis showed that RF therapeutic drugs had high structural similarity with five SKI components such as salvianolic acid B and hydroxysafflor yellow A.Molecular docking results showed that salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components had good binding abili-ty with MMP1 and MMP13,which were the core targets of SKI-regulated potential treatment of RF.Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the core targets of SKI were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as Relaxin and AGE-RAGE.Cell experiments showed that SKI could significantly reduce the mRNA expres-sion levels of AGER,NFKB1,COL1A1,SERPINE1,VEGFC in AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and MMP1 and MMP13 in Relaxin signaling pathway in RF model cells,and significantly increase the mRNA expression level of RXFP1.Conclusions SKI can play a role in the treatment of RF by regulating Relaxin and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways,and its material basis may be salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components.

Objective To compare screw versus Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of lateral humeral condyle frac-tures in children.Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane library,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Internet(CNKI),Wanfang Datebase from in ception to February 2022.Studies comparing screws and Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of lateral humeral condyle fractures in children were included.Outcome measures included and excluded by a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluated for their quality,their excellent and good rate of fracture healing,malunion,delayed union or nonunion,infection,limitation of elbow flexion or extension(＞10°)were ex-tracted and analyzed using software Rev Man 5.3.Results A total of 9 retrospective studies involving 647 patients were includ-ed,with 255 patients in the screw fixation group(including screw combined with Kirschner wire)and 392 patients in the Kirschner wire fixation group.Meta analysis showed the following:infection rate in the screw group was significantly lower than that in the Kirschner wire group[OR=0.22,95％CI(0.09,0.56),P=0.001].There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in excellent and good rate of fracture healing,malunion rate(P＞0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that infection rate in the screw-only group was significantly lower than that in the Kirschner wire group[OR=0.18,95％CI(0.05,0.65),P=0.009].Conclusion For lateral humeral condyle fractures,Screw fixation alone had a lower infection rate than kirschner wire fixation and screw combined with Kirschner wire fixation.There were no significant differences in the excellent and good rate of fracture healing,malunion.In terms of postoperative efficacy and safety of internal fixation,orthopaedic surgeons are more like-ly to recommend screws for fixation of lateral humeral condyle fractures in children.

Objective To compare the existing evaluation methods of sample's representativeness and provide reference for selection of sample representativeness evaluation methods in clinical research.Methods Simulate the target population of lung cancer patients and select samples with different sample sizes and different degrees of deviation based on the distribution of traits of lung cancer patients in China and the actual situation of sample screening in domestic clinical studies.Calculate sample representativeness using the existing evaluation methods of sample's representativeness,and calculate estimation deviation(bias).By constructing the correlation model between the measured value of each method and bias,analyze the accuracy and stability of each method.Results The overall structural variance rate RV1、RV2、C-statistic based on propensity score、SGCR and K-S distance could well measure the degrees of deviation of different samples.Under different sample sizes,the R2 of RV2 and RV1 are greater than 0.90,and R2 of C-Statistic、SGCR and K-S distance were greater than 0.80.Conclusion The overall structural variance rate is more accurate and stable because the traits weight is taken into account.In particular,RV2 can better measure the representativeness of samples with different degrees of deviation and accurately reflect the estimation deviation.However,when it is difficult to obtain the feature importance information,the reliability of the representative measurement of SGCR as well as C-statistic and K-S distance used the propensity score-based method are acceptable.
