ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Guizhi Fulingwan （GFW） against hepatic fibrosis， focusing on elucidating the regulatory effect of GFW on the mitochondrial DNA （mtDNA）/NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）/cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase-1 （Caspase-1）/gasdermin D （GSDMD） signaling pathway. MethodsForty-two male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly allocated into six groups （n=7）： control， model， low/medium/high-dose （0.14， 0.28， 0.56 g·kg^-1·d^-1） GFW （GFW-L， GFW-M， GFW-H）， and Dahuang Zhechong pills （DZW， 1.8 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The rat model of hepatic fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride. General conditions of the rats were observed. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） levels were measured. Liver histopathology and collagen deposition were observed through hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was employed to observe structural alterations and damage of cellular ultrastructures including mitochondria. Mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP， ΔΨ_m） was detected by flow cytometry. Serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and interleukin-18 （IL-18） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The mRNA levels of mtDNA and NLRP3 in the liver tissue were quantified by Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The protein levels of key molecules in the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway in the liver tissue were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group exhibited a decrease in body weight （P<0.01）， an increase in liver index （P<0.01）， elevations in serum ALT and AST levels （P<0.01）， and typical fibrotic features such as disorganized hepatocytes， inflammatory infiltration， and increased collagen deposition in the liver tissue. TEM revealed significant karyotheca degeneration， mitochondrial swelling， endoplasmic reticulum expansion， and organelle efflux in the model group. In addition， the model group showed decreased ΔΨ_m （P<0.01）， up-regulated mRNA levels of mtDNA and NLRP3 （P<0.01） and protein levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and GSDMD （P<0.01） in the liver tissue， and increased serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 （P<0.01）. Compared with that in the model group， the body weight increased in GFW-L， GFW-M， and DZW groups （P<0.05） and markedly increased in the GFW-H group （P<0.01）. The liver index decreased in the GFW groups and DZW group （P<0.01）. The serum ALT level declined in the GFW-L group （P<0.05）， and the serum ALT and AST levels decreased in the GFW-M， GFW-H， and DZW groups （P<0.01）. Histopathological damage and fibrosis were alleviated to varying degrees， and TEM revealed mitigated ultrastructural injuries including mitophagy， mitochondrial swelling， and endoplasmic reticulum expansion in the drug intervention groups. The ΔΨ_m increased in GFW groups without statistical significance. The mRNA level of mtDNA in the liver tissue was down-regulated in the GFW-M （P<0.05）， GFW-H （P<0.01）， and DZW （P<0.01） groups. The mRNA level of NLRP3 was down-regulated in GFW-M， GFW-H， and DZW groups （P<0.01）. Western blot analysis showed significantly down-regulated protein level of NLRP3 in all the GFW groups and the DZW group （P<0.01）. The protein level of GSDMD-N was down-regulated in GFW-H and DZW groups （P<0.01）. The protein level of cleaved Caspase-1 was down-regulated in GFW-M （P<0.05）， GFW-H （P<0.01）， and DZW （P<0.01） groups. In addition， the serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 declined in GFW-H and DZW groups （P<0.01）. ConclusionGFW can suppress pyroptosis to ameliorate CCl₄-induced hepatic fibrosis， potentially through mitigating mitochondrial damage， inhibiting inflammasome assembly and activation， and blocking pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

Methods:From August 2011 to January 2013, 715 patients with CAG in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial were enrolled from 16 tertiary first-class hospitals across the country, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Hospital of Jilin University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, etc., there were 476 cases in the LTEVB 12C group and 239 cases in the placebo group. The patients of the LTEVB 12C group received LTEVB 12C, and the patients of placebo group received LTEVB 12C mimetic, all the medications were taken 3 capsules each time and 3 times a day after meals, and the treatment course of 2 groups were both 6 months. The efficacy evaluation criteria included the effective rate (a decrease of ≥1 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment) and the reversal rate (a decrease of ≥ 2 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment in the patients with moderate to severe CAG). The impact of lesion sites on the therapeutic effects of LTEVB 12C was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The two-way unordered Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test considering the center effect and Pearson chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The effective rates of chronic inflammation at the antrum greater curvature and corpus greater curvature (23.3%, 110/473 vs. 13.0%, 31/239; 20.3%, 96/472 vs. 12.6%, 30/239), the effective rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (27.0%, 118/437 vs. 15.7%, 34/216; 29.2%, 126/432 vs. 18.5%, 38/205; 27.8%, 121/435 vs. 16.7%, 36/216; 32.5%, 127/391 vs. 19.8%, 37/187; 33.0%, 119/361 vs. 21.8%, 39/179), and the effective rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (45.0%, 112/249 vs. 29.8%, 31/104; 53.8%, 86/160 vs. 33.9%, 21/62; 45.8%, 103/225 vs. 24.0%, 25/104; 51.9%, 83/160 vs. 28.3%, 17/60) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.76, 6.39, 9.69, 7.91, 11.05, 9.62, 8.57, 5.20, 7.11, 12.45, and 6.73; all P<0.05). The reversal rates of chronic inflammation at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature (5.2%, 12/231 vs. 0, 0/123; 4.7%, 8/170 vs. 0, 0/88), the reversal rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (6.8%, 22/323 vs. 1.3%, 2/151; 9.2%, 29/315 vs. 1.4%, 2/144; 14.2%, 38/267 vs. 2.5%, 3/121; 20.8%, 35/168 vs. 5.8%, 4/69), and the reversal rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (29.8%, 39/131 vs. 9.1%, 4/44; 41.0%, 32/78 vs. 12.5%, 3/24; 33.3%, 44/132 vs. 4.8%, 3/63; 50.0%, 37/74 vs. 8.7%, 2/23) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.58, 5.12, 5.60, 8.61, 11.43, 6.59, 7.30, 4.95, 15.92, 7.62; all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the effective rates and reversal rates of active inflammation at different locations between the LTEVB 12C group and the placebo group (all P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis (taking the antrum lesser curvature as the reference) further confirmed that the reversal rates of chronic inflammation ( OR=0.22, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.07 to 0.67; OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.80), atrophy ( OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49; OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49), and intestinal metaplasia ( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.77; OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.52) at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature were all higher than those at the antrum lesser curvature, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no statistically siginificant differences in the reversal rates of the aforementioned pathological features between the antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the antrum lesser curvature (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LTEVB 12C can achieve good efficacy in the treatment of CAG, and the chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia at multiple locations are improved, especially at the corpus lesser curvature and the corpus greater curvature.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of postoperative pancreatitis in elderly patients with common bile duct stones undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).Methods 304 elderly patients with common bile duct stones treated with ERCP in our hospital from February 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a group with concurrent pancreatitis(n=22)and a group without concurrent pancreatitis(n=282)based on whether postoperative pancreatitis occurred.And the levels of serum lipase,whole blood PLR,and serum CRP were measured before surgery and 3,6,and 24 hours after surgery,respectively.At the same time,the differences in other relevant clinical data between the two groups of patients were compared.Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of pancreatitis after ERCP.Results The serum lipase levels in the concurrent pancreatitis group at 3,6,and 24 hours after the operation were(1060.48±131.23)U/L,(1137.45±126.34)U/L,and(1152.87±135.05)U/L,respectively.The levels of PLR in whole blood were 192.24±29.26,216.45±30.24,and 243.62±38.22 respectively,all of which were higher than those in the group without concurrent pancreatitis during the same period.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The serum CRP level in the group with pancreatitis was significantly higher than that in the group without pancreatitis at 6 and 24 h after operation(P＜0.05).Body mass index,Oddi sphincter dysfunction,difficulty in intubation,pancreatic development,ERCP operation time＞60 min,multiple entry of the catheter into the pancreatic duct were associated with postoperative pancreatitis after ERCP in elderly patients(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender,age,BMI,course of disease,and number of stones,Serum lipase at 3 h after surgery,whole blood PLR at 3 h after surgery,serum CRP level at 6 h after surgery,difficulty in intubation and pancreatic development were independent risk factors for pancreatitis after ERCP in elderly patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum lipase,whole blood PLR levels 3 hours after surgery,and serum CRP levels 6 hours after surgery are independent risk factors for pancreatitis after ERCP in the elderly with common bile duct stones.

Objective:To analyzed the correlation between the sacral slope (SS) and the slip degree of vertebral body, the morphological parameters of intervertebral disc, paraspinal muscle and pedicle in patient with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. One hundred and forty patients with L 4-5 degenerative spondylolisthesis who visited the Department of Orthopedics, the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from July 2018 to October 2022 were included. There were 32 males and 108 females, with an age of (62.6±10.0) years (range: 42 to 87 years) and the body mass index was (23.8±2.8) kg/m 2(range: 14.7 to 28.7 kg/m 2). General information and imaging data (lumbar X-ray, CT three-dimensional reconstruction, MRI images) of the patients were collected. SS and the slip degree (SD) of the L 4 vertebral body were measured on lateral lumbar radiographs. Based on Roussouly classification, 140 patients with DLS were divided into a low SS group (SS<35°), a medium SS group (35°≤SS<45°), and a high SS group (SS≥45°). The morphological parameters of the L 4 pedicle of the patient were measured on the lumbar CT three-dimensional reconstruction images, including pedicle length (PL), pedicle width (PW), pedicle screw trajectory length (PSTL), pedicle camber angle(PCA) and pedicle height (PH). The morphological parameters of the paraspinal muscles (psoas major, multifidus and erector spinae) were measured on MRI images, including total cross-sectional muscle area (TCSA), functional cross-sectional muscle area (FCSA), and the ratio of functional cross-sectional muscle area (FCSA/TCSA) was calculated. The degree of degeneration of the L 4-5 disc was assessed on MRI images. The slip degree, morphological parameters of the pedicle, intervertebral disc, and paraspinal muscles among the groups were compared and their correlation was analyzed. The comparison of quantitative data was conducted using one-way analysis of variance, and the post hoc analysis for pairwise comparisons among groups was performed using the least significant difference method. The comparison of unordered categorical data was carried out using the χ2 test, and the comparison of ordered categorical data was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the correlation. Results:Among the 140 patients, there were 70 in the low SS group, 48 in the medium SS group, and 22 in the high SS group. The SD and PL of the low SS group were the lowest ((18.6±4.2)%, (14.0±1.0) mm), those of the medium SS group were slightly higher ((21.0±3.6)%, (15.7±0.9) mm), and those of the high SS group were the highest ((23.7±2.8)%, (16.2±0.7) mm), with statistically significant differences among the groups (all P<0.01). The PW, PH and PCA of the low SS group were the highest ((11.0±1.1) mm, (11.0±1.0) mm, 22.9°±1.1°), those of the medium SS group were slightly lower ((10.2±1.1) mm, (10.4±0.9) mm, 21.6°±1.3°), and those of the high SS group were the lowest ((9.6±0.9) mm, (9.4±0.7) mm, 18.7°±1.5°), with statistically significant differences among the groups (all P<0.05). The FSCA/TCSA of the psoas major, erector spinae and multifidus muscles in the low SS group were the highest ((93.1±4.0)% and (77.6±6.4) %), next were those in the medium SS group ((90.9±3.5)% and (74.9±6.1)%), and those in the high SS group were the lowest ((88.6±4.4)% and (71.2±7.4) %), with statistically significant differences among the different groups (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SS was positively correlated with SD( r=0.557, P<0.01); SS was negatively correlated with the FSCA/TCSA of the paraspinal muscles (psoas major, erector spinae+multifidus) ( r=-0.393,-0.394,both P<0.01); SS was positively correlated with PL and PSTL ( r=0.706, P<0.01; r=0.264, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with PW, PCA and PH ( r=-0.469,-0.669,-0.549, all P<0.01). The Pfirrmann grade of intervertebral disc degeneration in the low SS group was better than that in the medium SS group and the high SS group( H=23.128, P<0.01). Conclusions:In DLS patients, as SS increases, the SD of the L 4 vertebral body gradually increases, the proportion of paraspinal muscle functional area gradually decreases, the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration gradually worsens, the pedicle gradually becomes slender, and the pedicle camber angle gradually decreases. There is a correlation between SS and the degree of vertebral slippage, as well as morphological parameters of pedicle, intervertebral disc, and paraspinal muscles.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and aesthetic outcome of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision in the management of gynecomastia(GYN).Methods From January 2019 to June 2023,18 patients with GYN were admitted.All of them were treated with small incision through the areola combined with liposuction.The postoperative aesthetic effect,occurrence of complications and patient satisfaction of the patients were evaluated.Results All 18 patients in this study were follwed up for a period of 3 to 18 months.No serious complications such as wound infection or necrosis of the nipple-areola occurred.Pathological examinations were consistent with the diagnosis of GYN.Except for one patient,who exhibited slight skin folds in the surgical area at the 12-month follow-up,the other patients all achieved symmetrical and smooth chest contours with noticeable aesthetic improvement,resulting in a 100％patient satisfaction rate.Conclusion The combined approach of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision for the treatment of GYN is straightforward,minimally invasive,and yields satisfactory therapeutic and aesthetic outcomes.

Objective To explore the antimicrobial activity of the bacteriocin(tentatively named garvicin LG6)se-creted by Lactococcus garvieae(L.garvieae)SHAMU-LG6 against Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)of different hemolytic phenotypes.Methods S.aureus isolated from clinical patients in a hospital of Anhui from 2021 to 2023 were collected.The hemolytic phenotypes of S.aureus were detected by three-point inoculation method.S.aureus of different hemolytic phenotypes were further categorized into methicillin-sensitive S.aureus(MSSA)and methi-cillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)according to antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.The antagonistic activity of L.garvieae SHAMU-LG6 against S.aureus of different hemolytic phenotypes was assayed by Oxford cup me-thod.The whole-genome sequencing of L.garvieae SHAMU-LG6 was performed.Biosynthetic gene cluster of gar-vicin LG6 was searched by online databases antiSMASH 7.0 and BAGEL4.Through macroporous resin adsorption,ethanol gradient elution,rotary evaporation,and dried material reconstitution,antimicrobial activity of garvicin LG6 crude extract against S.aureus was detected by the inhibitory testing of Oxford cup method.Results L.garvieae SHAMU-LG6 could significantly antagonize MSSA and MRSA of different hemolytic phenotypes.Biosynthetic gene cluster of garvicin LG6 was present on the chromosomal genome of L.garvieae SHAMU-LG6.The antimicrobial activity of garvicin LG6 secreted by a single colony or 6 mL fermentation fluid of L.garvieae SHAMU-LG6 were at least equal to that of antibiotic disc of 30 pg cefoxitin.Conclusion Garvicin LG6 can efficiently kill MSSA and MR-SA of different hemolytic phenotypes,and has the potential to be developed into a novel antimicrobial agent,which has great prospects for clinical application.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is one of the most common issues among trauma patients.Treatment strategies for PNI typically involve surgical repair,rehabilitation therapy and medication management,but may still not achieve the expected therapeutic outcome. Following nerve injury,Schwann cells clear cellular debris,release growth-promoting factors and provide guidance support that promotes the regrowth of damaged nerve fibersand its reconnection to target tissues. The release of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) to the injury site after PNI can induce the transformation of astrocytes to an A2 phenotype,thereby upregulating the expression of neurotrophic factors. Meanwhile,TGF-β can initiate a series of phenotypic changes in Schwann cells,modulate immune cells,and activate the innate growth potential of neurons,thereby enhancing nerve regeneration potential. TGF-β can also promote angiogenesis,maintain the integrity of the blood-nerve barrier and enhance its permeability,thereby providing a beneficial microenvironment for nerve regeneration by inhibiting inflammation. This paper reviews the potential roles of TGF-β in peripheral nerve regeneration and investigates the underlying mechanisms,in order to provide new insights for better treatment of PNI.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
