OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of evodiamine on the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of trophoblastic cells induced by high glucose and its potential mechanism based on advanced glycation end products (AGE)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signaling pathway. METHODS Human trophoblastic cells HTR-8/SVneo were divided into control group, high glucose group, evodiamine low-dose group (2 μmol/L), evodiamine high-dose group (4 μmol/L), pc-NC group (transfected with pc-NC plasmid+4 μmol/L evodiamine), and pc-RAGE group (transfected with pc-RAGE plasmid+ 4 μmol/L evodiamine). Cells in all groups except for the control group were cultured in a high sugar (25 mmol/L glucose) environment, and cells in all groups except for the control group and the model group were transfected with the corresponding plasmids and/or received the corresponding drug interventions. The survival rate, apoptotic rate, scratch healing rate, and invasion number, as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of AGE, RAGE, nuclear factor- κB p65 (NF- κB p65), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and MMP-9 were examined in each group. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the cell survival rate, scratch healing rate, invasions number, and the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the high glucose group significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the apoptotic rate, the mRNA and protein expressions of AGE and RAGE, the mRNA expression of NF-κB p65, and the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 protein significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with the high glucose group, the above indexes of cells in evodiamine low-dose and high-dose groups were significantly improved, and the effect of the high-dose group was significantly better than that of the low-dose group (P<0.05); overexpression of RAGE attenuated the ameliorative effect of evodiamine onthe above indexes in high glucose-induced trophoblast cells (except for AGE mRNA and protein) (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Evodiamine can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of high glucose-induced trophoblast cells and ameliorate their functional impairment, and the above effects are associated with the inhibition of the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

ObjectiveUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS) was used to investigate the metabolism and distribution of nardosinone in rats, then metabolic pathways were speculated. MethodRats were administered with 30 mg·kg-1 of nardosinone suspension by gavage for 3 consecutive days, and plasma, urine, feces, and tissues of heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, stomach, and intestine were collected at predetermined time points. After treatment, the samples were processed for UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS/MS, and the MS data were analyzed using Xcalibur 2.2 software. The metabolites were searched by comparing the base peak chromatogram and extracted ion chromatogram between the treated group and blank group, and based on the relative retention time(tR), quasi-molecular ion peak, precise molecular mass, and fragment ions of MS/MS, the elemental composition were searched using databases such as SciFinder and PubChem, as well as referring to relevant literature, the possible metabolites were identified and the metabolic pathways were inferred. ResultA total of 30 metabolites of nardosinone were identified, including 15, 19, 12, 7, 4, 11, 8, 13, 13, 8 and 12 metabolites in urine, feces, plasma, brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, stomach and intestine, respectively. The main metabolic pathways of nardosinone in rats were hydroxylation, dehydroxylation, reduction, dehydrogenation, hydration, dehydration, carboxylation, glucuronidation, and dehydroxy-isopropyl. ConclusionNardosinone can be metabolized by phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolism in rats, and the metabolites are widely distributed in the major organs. The results of this study can provide a basis for further research on the pharmacodynamic material basis, pharmacological mechanism and clinical application of nardosinone.

The gastric fundus fornix and upper part of the gastric body pose challenges for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), resulting in unsatisfactory resection outcomes for lesions in these areas,because of the difficulty in the endoscope reaching the lesion site. Drawing inspiration from the formation of α loop during flexible colonoscopy and double-channel multibending gastroscope, a single-channel treatment gastroscope was utilized to create a multibending state (referred to as single-channel endoscope multibending method, SCMB). This method was employed to treat 6 patients with lesions in the stomach at Digestive Endoscopy Center of Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to December 2021. There were 3 cases in the gastric fundus fornix, 2 cases in the greater curvature on the upper part of the gastric body, and 1 case in the posterior wall of gastric fundus and subcardia. After 2-3 attempts during surgery, SCMB was successfully performed in all cases within 60-120 seconds. All 6 cases completed successful endoscopic resection within 20-80 minutes without significant complications, including 4 cases of ESD and 2 cases of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR). Preliminary results indicate that SCMB method during ESD and its derivative technologies are both safe and effective for lesions in challenging areas where gastric ESD is difficult to perform. During surgery, this approach facilitates the front end of endoscope access to the lesion, providing a clear visual field and a stable dissection plane.

Objective:To explore the effect of double-eyelid blepharoplasty by continuously double W-shape buried suture method through skin and conjunctiva.Methods:The data of patients received double-eyelid blepharoplasty by continuously double W-shape buried suture method through skin and conjunctiva in Department of Medical Aesthetic Surgery, People’s Hospital of Rizhao, and Department of Plastic Surgery, Yimeitiancheng’s Cosmetic and Plastic Hospital of Rizhao from January 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Before the operation, the double eyelid line was designed and 5 points were evenly marked along the line as A, B, C, D and E (from the lateral to the internal). During the operation, 10 ml needle was used to puncture the 5 points marked on the double eyelid line. Starting from the outermost point A, the needle was inserted obliquely inward on the skin surface, and then the upper eyelid was turned over, and the stitches was stabed-out from the conjunctival surface of the upper margin of tarsus. The stitches was inserted again from the original point pierced on the conjunctival surface, and the stitches was stabed-out diagonally inward through the skin surface at the point B. The same method was used to penetrate points C, D and E successively. Then E, D, C, B and A points were penetrated in turn from the inside to the outside. The two suture ends were passed through the 3/8 arc round stitches, which was inserted from the point A and stabed-out skin surface of the outer orbital margin above the double eyelid line through the deep. The tightness was adjusted and tied the knotted. After the surgery, the surgical results and complications were observed, and patients’ satisfaction was evaluated before and 6 months after the surgery, which included four factors: eyelid curvature, width, smoothness, and symmetry, with a maximum score of 100. Higher scores indicated greater patients’ satisfaction. Measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD, and paired sample t-test was used to compare the satisfaction of the same patient before and after surgery. P<0.05 indicated statistically significant difference. Results:A total of 82 patients with 160 eyes were included, including 75 females and 7 males. The age ranged from 18 to 32 years old, with a mean of 25.4 years old. 78 cases were treated with both eyes and 4 with one eye. In the early postoperative period, 8 patients had local cyanosis and slight swelling of eyelid, which was improved after routine cold compress treatment. Two cases reported a foreign body sensation in the eyeball, which improved with application of levofloxacin for 1 week. The remaining patients had good eyelid morphology with no significant swelling or foreign body sensation. A total of 60 patients were followed up for 6 months, and their eyelid morphology appeared natural and aesthetically pleasing. The eyelid crease was smooth when opened, and there were no obvious surgical scars when closed. Only one patient had a shallow eyelid crease, which was satisfactorily repaired with additional suturing. None of the patients experienced external suture exposure or subcutaneous nodules. The patient satisfaction score was (58.15±5.07) before operation and (98.68±1.69) 6 months after operation, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-70.33, P<0.001). Conclusion:Double-eyelid blepharoplasty by continuously double W-shape buried suture method through skin and conjunctiva has the advantages of minimally invasion, simple performence, direct vision operation, with natural appearance of double eyelid, and high patient satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the situation and causes of the shortage of drugs in centralized volume-based procurement, and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for optimizing centralized procurement rules and improving the drug shortage supply guarantee system. METHODS The shortage data of the first five batches of centralized purchasing drugs during January 2019 and December 2021 were collected from the Shortage Database of Chinese medicine economic information; descriptive statistical analysis was performed for shortage frequency, varieties and reasons. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS After the first five batches of centralized volumetric procurement policy landed, the frequency of drug shortage reported for selected specifications and selected enterprises increased significantly, mainly drug shortage of selected enterprises. The shortage of some varieties from selected enterprises in the short term was obvious, and most of them were commonly used clinical drugs. The occurrence of drug shortages was affected by various links such as the production, circulation and use, and the main reasons were shortage or monopoly of raw materials. In order to ensure the drugs supply, the government should scientifically assess the risk of production interruption of enterprises, further optimize centralized procurement rules, improve the reporting system for drug shortages, and attach importance to the supply of key drugs; in addition, hospitals should take a variety of measures within the scopes of policies to flexibly respond to drug shortages so as to avoid delaying the treatment of patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between sleep duration and obesity, and the risk of common chronic diseases in the occupational population in Shanghai City. Methods A total of 18 775 occupational individuals were selected as the study subjects using convenience sampling method in Shanghai City. Data on personal lifestyle behaviors and medical examination results were collected. The relationship between sleep duration and different types of obesity with dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia was analyzed. Results The incidence of dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia among the study subjects was 24.9%, 16.2%, 11.5%, and 7.3%, respectively. The incidence of these four chronic diseases were higher in individuals with central obesity and suboptimal sleep compared to the control group (all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that suboptimal sleep combined with general obesity/overweight increased the risk of dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia in the study subjects [odds ratio (OR) were 2.40, 3.47, 3.30, and 2.79, respectively; all P<0.01], after adjusting for age, gender, education level, marital status, occupation type, labor intensity, smoking, and drinking. Suboptimal sleep combined with central obesity also potentially increased the risk of these four chronic diseases (OR were 2.25, 3.09, 3.09, and 2.98, respectively; all P<0.01). Conclusion The incidence of common chronic diseases is relatively high in the occupational population in Shanghai City. Suboptimal sleep combined with different types of obesity increases the risk of common chronic diseases.
