Objective: To analyze the characteristics of alcohol poisoning cases among minors receiving pre hospital 120 emergency services in Zhengzhou, providing evidence for regional management strategies of alcohol poisoning among minors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1 630 alcohol poisoning cases (aged 0-18 years) from Zhengzhou s 120 emergency system during 2017-2019 and 2023. Data on gender, age, occurrence timeframes were analyzed using t-test and χ 2 test for intergroup comparisons. Results: Annual cases were 291 (2017), 353 (2018), 483 (2019), and 503 (2023). Compared with 2017, male alcohol poisoning cases increased by 66.94% while female cases surged 104.35% by 2023. The peak incidence of alcohol poisoning among minors occurred among 16-18 year olds (85.40%), followed by 13-15 year olds (13.74%). Most cases clustered between 21:01-03:00 (60.43%), with male cases peaking at 22:01-23:00 (12.73%) and female cases peaking at 02:01-03:00 ( 11.25 %). Between 00:01-03:00, male cases progressively decreased while female cases increased. Severity distribution showed 355 mild cases (21.78%), 1 035 moderate cases (63.50%), and 240 severe cases (14.72%). Conclusions Zhengzhou region has experienced sustained growth in underage alcohol poisoning cases, predominantly occurring from evening to early morning with moderate severity, female cases demonstrate faster growth rates. Multifaceted regulatory measures should be implemented to strengthen supervision of underage drinking behaviors.

Occipitocervical fusion (OCF) is used to treat the instability of the cranio-cervical junction due to various reasons (such as trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, infection, tumor, congenital malformations and degeneration). A satisfactory fusion rate can be obtained and the stability of the occipital neck can be reconstructed by OCF. Dysphagia is one of the most common complications after OCF, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients after surgery. This article mainly focuses on the evaluation and prediction methods of dysphagia after OCF, and summarizes related research in the past 16 years, and provides guidance and direction for how to predict the occurrence of dysphagia during OCF and the evaluation of postoperative dysphagia. The evaluation of dysphagia is mainly conducted using the Bazaz dysphagia score, swallowing quality of life scale (SWAL-QOL) and eating assessment tool-10 (EAT-10) score. However, the clinical prediction of dysphagia is mainly based on the changes of cervical curvature parameters (O-C 2 angle, O-EA angle, Oc-Ax angle, PI angle). At present, there are many methods for clinical evaluation and prediction of dysphagia, but the best evaluation method is still uncertain. We reviews the evaluation and prediction methods of postoperative dysphagia of OCF, showing that the Bazaz dysphagia score, SWAL-QOL score and EAT-10 score scale are suitable for evaluating postoperative dysphagia of OCF. During OCF operation, adjustment of O-C 2 Angle >-5°, O-EA Angle >100°, Oc-Ax Angle >65°, and increase of postoperative PI Angle from preoperative PI Angle (that is, dPI Angle) ≥0° can reduce the probability of dysphagia to a certain extent.

Phlegm and dampness are endogenous,rise and fall with Qi,reach the limbs,diffuse the whole body,and form obesity.Regulating phlegm dampness with traditional Chinese medicine can realize the early prevention and treatment of obesity.Intestinal microbiota participates in a variety of human metabolic processes.Regulating intestinal microbiota is a new way to prevent and treat obesity.Taking the close relationship between intestinal flora and its metabolites,obesity and phlegm dampness theory as the breakthrough point,and based on the existing research results,this paper discusses the possible role of intestinal microbiota and its metabolites in the formation of phlegm dampness and the prevention and treatment of obesity,It is considered that the common intestinal microbiota and its metabolites of different individuals with obesity caused by phlegm dampness may be used as specific indicators to become the new micro identification basis of obesity phlegm dampness theory.It is proposed that intestinal microbiota and its metabolites will become the key point of obesity phlegm dampness theory research,which will provide a new explanation for obesity prevention and control research,and expand new research fields for the connotation of TCM phlegm dampness theory.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of Yes-associated protein(YAP)in epidermal stem cell(EPSC)differentiation after ionizing radiation(IR).METHODS ① A punch was used to induce skin injuries on the back of mice.The IR group received localized irradiation with 60 Co γ-rays,while the normal control group did not.Samples were collected at 0,1,3,6,9,and 12 d for RNA and protein extraction.Western blotting was used to detect changes in YAP protein expressions during wound healing.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was performed to assess the mRNA levels of Yap and its downstream target genes,connective tissue growth factor(Ctgf),and cysteine-rich protein 61(Cyr61).② EPSCs were exposed to 60 Co γ at a dose of 4 or 8 Gy,while the control group was not irradiated.Cells were collected to detect the levels of YAP protein via Western blotting.Cells were collected at 4,12,24,and 36 h post-IR to assess the levels of YAP mRNA by RT-qPCR.③ Short hairpin RNA(shRNA)was used to establish stable YAP knockdown cell lines,and the knockdown efficiency of sh YAP was verified by Western blotting.RT-qPCR was then performed to detect the impact of YAP knockdown on mRNA levels of K1 and K10 after IR.RESULTS① Compared with the control group,the YAP protein level in the IR group during wound healing was significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01),so were the mRNA levels of Yap and its downstream target genes Ctgf and Cyr61(P<0.05,P<0.01).② Compared to the cell control group,the mRNA and protein levels of YAP in the IR group cells were significantly reduced(P<0.01).③ In the sh YAP cells,the YAP protein level was significantly reduced(P<0.01).Furthermore,the mRNA levels of K1 and K10 were significantly decreased after IR in sh YAP cells(P<0.01).CONCLUSION YAP can regulate EPSC differentiation in wound healing after IR.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial complication associated with abnormal glucose metabolism and dyslipidiaemia, which increases the risk of death and heart failure in diabetic patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have confirmed that scavenging damaged mitochondria in cardiomyocytes through mitophagy can restore mitochondrial homeostasis, reduce oxidative stress and improve diabetic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, this article provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms and characteristics of mitochondrial autophagy in diabetic cardiomyopathy. It aims to offer new insights and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

At present, clinical interventions for chronic kidney disease are very limited, and most patients rely on dialysis to sustain their lives for a long time. However, studies on the gut-kidney axis have shown that the gut microbiota is a potentially effective target for correcting or controlling chronic kidney disease. This study showed that berberine, a natural drug with low oral availability, significantly ameliorated chronic kidney disease by altering the composition of the gut microbiota and inhibiting the production of gut-derived uremic toxins, including p-cresol. Furthermore, berberine reduced the content of p-cresol sulfate in plasma mainly by lowering the abundance of g_Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 and inhibiting the tyrosine-p-cresol pathway of the intestinal flora. Meanwhile, berberine increased the butyric acid producing bacteria and the butyric acid content in feces, while decreased the renal toxic trimethylamine N-oxide. These findings suggest that berberine may be a therapeutic drug with significant potential to ameliorate chronic kidney disease through the gut-kidney axis.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Dahuangfuzi decoction on intestinal motility disorder by observing its effect on serum motilin, Cajal interstitial cells and motilin receptor in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:Eighteen clean male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group, SAP group and Dahuangfuzi group ( n=6 each group). The SAP rat model was prepared by retrogradely injected 4% sodium taurocholate into cholangiopancreatic duct. The rats in the SAP group were given 2 mL normal saline (37℃) enema at 12 and 24 h after operation. The rats in the Dahuangfuzi group was given 2 mL Dahuangfuzi decoction (37℃) enema at 12 and 24 h respectively. For the control group, the pancreas was exposed in the same way and then the abdomen was closed. Forty-eight h after operation, the abdominal aorta blood samples were taken for determination of serum endotoxin and amylase, and for detection of serum motilin by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the pathological changes of pancreas and ileum were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expression of c-kit and motilin receptor protein in ICC in ileum tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of serum endotoxin and amylase in the SAP group were significantly higher [(504.98±88.81) pg/mL vs. (17.76±5.01) pg/mL; (532.28±66.53) vs. (69.45±3.61) U/L, P<0.05], while the levels of serum motilin were significantly lower [(195.4±6.7) ng/L vs. (301±8.10) ng/L, P<0.05], and the scores of c-kit and motilin receptor protein were decreased ( P<0.05); compared with the SAP group, the levels of serum endotoxin and amylase in the Dahuangfuzi group were significantly reduced [(189.9±38.23) pg/mL vs. (504.98±88.81) pg/mL; (294.23±25.66) vs. (532.28±66.53) U/L, P<0.05], while the levels of serum motilin were significantly increased [(264.2±8.3) ng/L vs. (195.4±6.7) ng/L, P<0.05], and the scores of c-kit and motilin receptor protein were increased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Dahuangfuzi decoction can improve the intestinal motility of SAP rats by promoting the secretion of motilin, increasing the activity of ICC cells and the expression of motilin receptor.

Hypoglycemia is very common in daily blood glucose management of diabetic patients, and growing number of studies have proved that hypoglycemia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction. There may be a bidirectional relationship between severe hypoglycemia and cognitive dysfunction, resulting in a vicious circle of mutual aggravation between hypoglycemia and cognitive dysfunction, but the specific mechanism is not clear. This article reviews the relationship between hypoglycemia and cognitive dysfunction, the mechanism of hypoglycemia induced cognitive dysfunction, and clinical management measures. The aim is to improve the understanding of the relationship between hypoglycemia and cognitive dysfunction, and to provide scientific basis for further exploring the mechanism of diabetes mellitus with cognitive dysfunction.
