Objective:Different methods were used to determine the dissolution of piroxicam patch,and the disso-lution results were evaluated,in order to select a determination method that could more accurately reflect the drug release process of piroxicam patch,so as to provide a reference for the scientific and accurate evaluation of drug quality.Methods:The liquid chromatography method for the detection of piroxicam was established,and the 24 hour dissolution curves of piroxicam patch were investigated by paddle over disk method,rotating cylinder method and vertical diffusion cell method,and the dissolution curves were compared by f1 difference factor method,f2 simi-larity factor method and Weibull model fitting,and the in vitro dissolution behavior of different methods was evalua-ted.Results:Piroxicam had a good linear relationship in the range of 1-150 μg·mL-1(r=1.000),the accura-cy was 100.9％(n=9),the precision was 1.7％(n=9),and the sample solution was stable within 72 hours.The results of the comparison of dissolution curves showed that the dissolution of piroxicam patch was more in line with the Weibull model.Under the same conditions of dissolution medium and temperature,there was little differ-ence between the paddle over disk method and rotating cylinder method,and there was a possibility of substitution for each other,and there were significant differences between the vertical diffusion cell method and the other two methods.Conclusion:The vertical diffusion cell method is more in line with the dissolution process of drugs in actual use,and provides more references for quality evaluation.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic pterygoid nerve combined with anterior ethmoidal nerve transection in treatment of allergic rhinitis with nasal polyps.Method A clinical practice study was conducted on 108 patients with allergic rhinitis complicated with nasal polyps.After enrollment,they were randomly divided into two groups,54 cases were included in the control group and treated with conventional endoscopic sinus surgery,while 54 cases were included in the observation group and treated with conventional endoscopic sinus surgery combined with pterygoid nerve and ethmoidal nerve transection.The nasal pain visual analogue scale(VAS),rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ),asthma quality of life questionnaire(AQLQ),total effective rate,and complication rate of the two groups were compared before treatment and 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,3 months,6 months,and 1 year after treatment.Result Compared with the control group,the total effective rate of treatment was 98.15%in the observation group,which was higher than 85.19%in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in nasal resistance(NR),mucociliary transport rate(MTR),mucociliary transport time(MTT),and Lund-Kennedy scores between the two groups,the differences were no statistically significant(P>0.05).After treatment,MTR in two groups increased compared with before treatment,and the observation group was higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);NR,MTT,and Lund-Kennedy scores in two groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in nasal pain VAS,RQLQ,and AQLQ between the two groups,the differences were no statistically significant(P>0.05).After treatment,at 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,and 3 months,6 months,and 1 year,the observation group had lower nasal pain VAS compared to the control group,while the observation group had lower RQLQ and higher AQLQ compared to the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of endoscopic pterygoid nerve combined with ethmoidal nerve transection for the treatment of allergic rhinitis complicated with nasal polyps is significant.It can not only effectively alleviate nasal pain in patients,but also improve their quality of life and reduce postoperative complications,which has clinical application value.

Objective To explore the promoting effect of egg yolk oil combined with heat-clearing and detoxi-fying traditional Chinese medicine external washing on postoperative wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses based on growth factors in the wound granu-lation tissue.Methods Eighty patients with perianal abscesses admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to May 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.Three days after surgery,the control group received routine treatment,such as external washing with heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese herbal medicine and dressing changes with vase-line gauze.The observation group received additional treatment with egg yolk oil,and both groups were treated continuously for 7 days.The clinical efficacy,improvement in clinical symptoms,and wound recovery at different time points;serum inflammatory cytokines;and expression levels of wound granulation tissue-related factors were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was higher in the observation group than the control group(95%vs.75%,P<0.05).The time of pruritus disappearance,decaying flesh,emer-gence of new epithelium,and healing were shorter in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The pain degree,wound secretion,granulation morphology and surrounding tissue edema score of the observation group were significantly decreased at 7 and 10 days after surgery compared with the control group(P<0.05).Serum levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-8,and tumor necrosis factor-α were lower in the observation group than the control group at 7 and 10 days after surgery(P<0.05).The levels of basic fibroblast growth factor,vascular endothelial cell growth factor,and transforming growth factor-βin wound granulation tissue were higher in the observation group than the control group at 7 and 10 days after surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion The external application of egg yolk oil combined with heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese herbs can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with perianal abscesses and promote wound healing,with significant therapeutic effects.This may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory cytokine expression and the promotion of wound granulation tissue growth factor expression.

Objective Exploring the relationship between changes in serum Golgi apparatus transmem-brane glycoprotein 73(GP73)and chitosanase 3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)levels and liver fibrosis and lesion sever-ity in patients with hepatitis B(CHB).Methods Using a case-control study,80 patients diagnosed with CHB infection and developing liver fibrosis in the Infectious Disease Department of Changsha First Hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the liver fibrosis group,while 120 patients diagnosed with CHB infection but not developing liver fibrosis in the Infectious Disease Department of our hospital were selected as the control group.The serum GP3,CHI3L1,liver function,and fibrosis indicators of the two groups of patients were compared,and the liver fibrosis group was divided into mild according to Scheuer system standards Perform stratified analysis on patients with significant liver fibrosis.Results The serum GP3 and CHI3L1 levels in the liver fibrosis group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);The ROC curves were plotted using serum GP3,CHI3L1,and GP3+CHI3L1,respectively.The sensitivity for diagnosing liver fibrosis in CHB patients was 62.81%,60.94%,and 96.33%,with specificity of 80.66%,80.05%,and 75.30%.The AUC values under the curves were 0.792,0.756,and 0.908,respectively;The levels of ALT,AST,HA,LN,PC III NP,C IV,and CG in the liver fibrosis group were higher than those in the control group,and the PLT measurement values were lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);49 patients with moderate to severe liver fibrosis(33 in S2 phase and 16 in S3 phase)and 31 patients with mild liver fibrosis(all in S1 phase)had significantly higher serum GP3 and CHI3L1 levels than mild patients,with statistical significance(P＜0.05);The levels of DBIL,ALT,AST,HA,LN,PC III NP,C IV,and CG in patients with moderate to severe liver fibrosis were higher than those in the mild group,and the PLT measurement values were lower than those in the mild group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum GP3 and CHI3L1 levels in CHB patients with liver fibrosis are significantly elevated,and there is a certain correlation with the degree of liver fibro-sis.The combination of these two indicators is beneficial for diagnosing liver fibrosis in CHB patients.

Objective To study the prognostic factors of progressive hearing loss among children with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome(LVAS).Methods The clinical data of 49 children(95 ears)with LVAS who re-ceived at least two hearing tests from January 2017 to January 2023 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into two groups according to the progression of hearing loss:the stable group(55 ears)and the progressive group(40 ears).The effects for progressive hearing loss of initial age,gender,laterality,imaging features,audiometric data,and incomplete partition type Ⅱ(IP-Ⅱ)and SLC26A4(type A,B,C,D)genotypes were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.The potential prognostic factors were further verified by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results Each dB decrease in the initial average hearing threshold in-creased the expected hazard by 7.03％(P=0.02).Incomplete partition type Ⅱ(IP-Ⅱ)was associated with 5.11 hazard ratio(95％CI,1.81 to 14.45,P=0.002).Genotype C was associated with 6.13 hazard ratio for progressive hearing loss(95％CI,2.07 to 18.13,P=0.001).Conclusion The initial average hearing threshold,IP-Ⅱ,and SLC26A4 genotype C were significant effect factors of progressive hearing loss in patients with LVAS.This could predict the progression of hearing loss in children with LVAS and help identify patients at high risk for progressive hearing loss.

Digital intraoral scanning is a hot topic in the field of oral digital technology.In recent years,digital intra-oral scanning has gradually become the mainstream technology in orthodontics,prosthodontics,and implant dentistry.The precision of digital intraoral scanning and the accuracy and stitching of data collection are the keys to the success of the impression.However,the operators are less familiar with the intraoral scanning characteristics,imaging process-ing,operator scanning method,oral tissue specificity of the scanned object,and restoration design.Thus far,no unified standard and consensus on digital intraoral scanning technology has been achieved at home or abroad.To deal with the problems encountered in oral scanning and improve the quality of digital scanning,we collected common expert opin-ions and sought to expound the causes of scanning errors and countermeasures by summarizing the existing evidence.We also describe the scanning strategies under different oral impression requirements.The expert consensus is that due to various factors affecting the accuracy of digital intraoral scanning and the reproducibility of scanned images,adopting the correct scanning trajectory can shorten clinical operation time and improve scanning accuracy.The scanning trajec-tories mainly include the E-shaped,segmented,and S-shaped methods.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommended to first scan the abutment and adjacent teeth.When performing fixed denture restoration,it is recommend-ed to scan the abutment and adjacent teeth first.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,the cavity gap was scanned after completing the abutment preparation.This method not only meets clinical needs but also achieves the most reliable accuracy.When performing full denture restoration in edentulous jaws,setting markers on the mucosal tissue at the bottom of the alveolar ridge,simultaneously capturing images of the vestibular area,using different types of scanning paths such as Z-shaped,S-shaped,buccal-palatal and palatal-buccal pathways,segmented scanning of dental arches,and other strategies can reduce scanning errors and improve image stitching and overlap.For implant restora-tion,when a single crown restoration is supported by implants and a small span upper structure restoration,it is recom-mended to first pre-scan the required dental arch.Then the cavity in the abutment area is excavated.Lastly,scanning the cavity gap after installing the implant scanning rod.When repairing a bone level implant crown,an improved indi-rect scanning method can be used.The scanning process includes three steps:First,the temporary restoration,adjacent teeth,and gingival tissue in the mouth are scanned;second,the entire dental arch is scanned after installing a standard scanning rod on the implant;and third,the temporary restoration outside the mouth is scanned to obtain the three-di-mensional shape of the gingival contour of the implant neck,thereby increasing the stability of soft tissue scanning around the implant and improving scanning restoration.For dental implant fixed bridge repair with missing teeth,the mobility of the mucosa increases the difficulty of scanning,making it difficult for scanners to distinguish scanning rods of the same shape and size,which can easily cause image stacking errors.Higher accuracy of digital implant impres-sions can be achieved by changing the geometric shape of the scanning rods to change the optical curvature radius.The consensus confirms that as the range of scanned dental arches and the number of data concatenations increases,the scanning accuracy decreases accordingly,especially when performing full mouth implant restoration impressions.The difficulty of image stitching processing can easily be increased by the presence of unstable and uneven mucosal mor-phology inside the mouth and the lack of relatively obvious and fixed reference objects,which results in insufficient ac-curacy.When designing restorations of this type,it is advisable to carefully choose digital intraoral scanning methods to obtain model data.It is not recommended to use digital impressions when there are more than five missing teeth.

Objective To analyze the effect of fisetin against venous thrombosis in rats.Methods Seventy SD rats were randomly divided into the following groups:sham-operation group,model group,fisetin 45 mg/kg,15 mg/kg,5 mg/kg groups,and aspirin group(47 mg/kg).The corresponding medication was administered by gavage once a day consecutively(the sham-operation group and the model group were given 0.5％carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution with 10 mL/kg,respectively)for 7 consecutive days.One hour after the last administration,the rats were anesthetized,the lower part of the intersection of inferior vena cava and left renal vein was ligated with silk thread(no ligation in the sham-operation group),and the abdominal wall was sutured.Two hours later,the abdominal cavity was reopened,the other venous branches 1.5 cm away from the ligation site were closed with the artery clamp,and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta.The anticoagulant ratio of 3.8％sodium citrate∶whole blood was 1∶9.The venous thrombus 1 cm down from the ligation point of the intersection of inferior vena cava and left renal vein was cut and the thrombus was separated.The residual blood was dried with filter paper,weighed and recorded.Plasma was taken after anticoagulant blood centrifugation.The levels of plasma antithrombin-Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ),protease C(PC),plasminogen(PLG),and plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI-1)were detected by ELISA kits.Results Compared with the model group,the weight of thrombus in fisetin 45 mg/kg group and aspirin 47 mg/kg group decreased(P＜0.01).The content of AT-Ⅲ in three fisetin groups increased(all P＜0.05).The content of PC in fisetin 45 mg/kg increased(P＜0.05).The content of PLG and PAI-1 in fisetin 45 mg/kg group decreased(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Fisetin has the effect against venous thrombosis in vivo,and the effect is related to the upregulation of AT-Ⅲ and PC and the downregulation of PLG and PAI-1.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the difference of genotypes and hearing phenotypes in infants with biallelic allele variant in GJB2,and to provide reference for clinical practice. METHODS One hundred and forty-two subjects with biallelic allele variant in GJB2 were recruited in Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2012 to March 2024. All subjects received universal newborn hearing screening(UNHS),neonatal deafness genetic screening and audiological tests. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the genotypes:T/T groups(truncated/truncated mutations,59 cases),T/NT group(truncated/non-truncated mutations,50 cases) and NT/NT group(non-truncated/non-truncated mutations,33 cases). Three groups of genotypes,newborn hearing screening results,age at first diagnosis and hearing diagnosis results were analyzed. RESULTS The homozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.235delC was the dominant in T/T group(57.63％),the compound heterozygous mutation of c.235delC/c.109G>A was the dominant in T/NT group(74.00％),and the homozygous mutation of c.109G>A/c.109G>A was the dominant in NT/NT group(96.97％). The overall refer rate of UNHS was 80.28％,and the refer rate of T/T group was 89.83％,which was significantly higher than that of T/NT group 70.00％(P=0.009). The age of first diagnosis of 142 cases was (3.70±1.56) months,there was no significant difference between the three groups(P>0.05). In 142 cases,104 cases with hearing loss accounted for 73.24％,38 cases with normal hearing accounted for 26.76％. The proportion of confirmed hearing loss in T/T group was 100.00％,which was significantly higher than that in T/NT group 52.00％(P<0.001) and NT/NT group 57.58％(P<0.001). In side of hearing loss,of the 104 patients with hearing loss,86 cases(82.69％) had bilateral hearing loss and 18 cases(17.31％) had unilateral hearing loss. The proportion of bilateral hearing loss in T/T group was 100.00％,which was significantly higher than that in T/NT group 57.69％(P<0.001) and NT/NT group 63.16％(P<0.001). Among 190 ears of 104 patients with hearing loss,the degree of hearing loss was predominantly mild to moderate(63.16％),followed by profound(24.74％) and severe(12.10％). Among them,the T/T group was mainly marked by severe to profound hearing loss(58.47％),while both the T/NT group and the NT/NT group were mainly characterized by mild hearing loss(58.54％ and 74.19％),and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant(P<0.001). CONCLUSION In the T/T group,all patients were diagnosed as bilateral hearing loss at first diagnosis,and was mainly severe and profound hearing loss. The bilateral and unilateral hearing loss were 52.00％ and 57.58％ in the T/NT group and NT/NT group at first diagnosis respectively,and was mainly mild hearing loss.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis and clinical phenotype of a Chinese pedigree affected with Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).Methods:A male patient who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on July 26, 2018 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected. Next generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out to detect the variant sites. Bioinformatic software was used to simulate the effect of candidate variants on the protein functions.Results:Ultrasound exam of the patient showed enhanced echo for the renal parenchyma. Kidney biopsy had confirmed the pathological diagnosis of FSGS (non-specific). Electronic microscopy displayed segmental sclerosis of the glomeruli, mild hyperplasia of mesangial cells and matrix. The proband was found to harbor two novel variants of the PLCE1 gene, namely c. 3199delA (p.N1067Mfs*15) and c.4441_4443delATC (p.1481_1481del), which were respectively inherited from his mother and father. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), both variants were rated as pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP3; PM2_Supporting+ PM3+ PP3). Bioinformatic simulation suggested that both variants could significantly affect the tertiary structure of the PLCE1 protein. Conclusion:The c. 4441_4443delATC and c. 3199delA variants of the PLCE1 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of the FSGS in this pedigree.
