ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Tougu Xiaotong capsules （TGXTC） on the regulation of chondrocyte PANoptosis， delay of chondrocyte degeneration， and improvement of the symptoms in knee osteoarthritis （KOA）. MethodsIn vivo experiments： 50 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into five groups （n=10 per group）： sham operation group， model group， low-dose TGXTC group （7.2 g·kg^-1）， high-dose TGXTC group （14.4 g·kg^-1）， and diclofenac sodium group （0.05 g·kg^-1）. Except for the sham group， KOA models were established in all other groups using the modified Hulth method. Following successful model induction， the TGXTC groups received daily oral gavage of 7.2 or 14.4 g·kg^-1 for 6 weeks， while the diclofenac sodium group received 0.05 g·kg^-1 solution daily over the same duration. Model evaluation was performed using Lequesne MG score； micro-computed tomography （micro-CT） was used to scan the knee， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and safranin O-fast green staining were used to observe the morphology of cartilage， transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to determine ultrastructural changes of PANoptosis. Multiple immunofluorescence （IF） co-localization assays was performed to detect the co-localization of cleaved Caspase-3， receptor-interacting protein 3 （RlPK3）， and the N-terminal domain of gasdermin D （GSDMD-N） in cartilage tissue， while western blot was employed to detect the expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3， RIPK3， and GSDMD-N. In vitro experiments： The knee cartilages of 4-week-old SD rats were isolated， and a chondrocyte in vitro culture system was established through mechanical digestion with 0.2% type Ⅱ collagenase. Second-generation chondrocytes were divided into three groups： the control group， the model group （pretreated with 10 mg·L^-1 lipopolysaccharide （LPS） for 24 h followed by treatment with 1 μmol·L^-1 nigericin for 4 h）， and the TGXTC treatment group （pretreated with 10 mg·L^-1 LPS for 24 h， followed by exposure to 1 μmol·L^-1 nigericin for 4 h and subsequently treated with 100 mg·L^-1 TGXTC for an additional 24 h）. The levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， apoptosis， necroptosis， and pyroptosis of chondrocytes were evaluated via fluorescence microscopy following staining with ROS detection， AO/EB and YO-PRO-1/PI staining kits. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to investigate the ultrastructural changes associated with PANoptosis in cartilage tissue of KOA mice. Inflammatory cytokine levels （IL-1β and IL-18） were measured using ELISA. Western blot was conducted to assess protein expressions related to PANoptosis， including cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the Lequesne MG scores were significantly up-regulated（P<0.01） in the model group， and the pathological changes of cartilage were significantly， with joint spaces narrower， osteophyte formation increased， secere abrasion of cartilage surface. Ultrastructural analysis revealed pronounced chondrocyte apoptosis， necroptosis， and pyroptosis， along with markedly elevated expression of cleaved Caspase-3， RlPK3， and GSDMD-N in cartilage tissue （P<0.01）. In addition， The mean fluorescence intensities of ROS， orange-red fluorescence in AO/EB staining， green fluorescence and red fluorescence in YO-PRO-1/PI staining were increased of chondrocyte in the model group （P<0.01） . The levels of inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant were increased （P<0.01）. The expression of PANoptosis related proteins （cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3） were also significantly upregulated（P<0.05）. Compared to the model group， the TGXTC group demonstrated a significant improvement in various parameters of mice. These included a reduction in the Lequesne MG score， an increase in joint space， a decrease in osteophyte formation， diminished cartilage damage， reduced release of ROS， and alleviation of apoptotic， necroptotic， and pyroptotic processes in chondrocytes. Additionally， mitochondrial swelling and endoplasmic reticulum dilation were also mitigated. The levels of ROS as well as IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Furthermore， the expression levels of proteins associated with PANoptosis in cartilage tissue showed marked reductions （P<0.05）. Similar results were observed in chondrocytes： cleaved Caspase-3， cleaved Caspase-8， RIPK3， ZBP1， GSDMD-N， and NLRP3 exhibited significant decreases as well （P<0.05）. ConclusionTGXTC may mitigate chondrocytes degeneration and alleviate KOA symptoms by reducing oxidative stress and suppressing the activation of PANoptosis pathways.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Shuyao Huoxue Tongluo Decoction combined with meridian acupoint massage in treating lumbar disc herniation(LDH)patients with qi-stagnation and blood-stasis syndrome,and to analyze its effects on serological indicators.Methods A total of 120 LDH patients with qi-stagnation and blood-stasis syndrome admitted to Huizhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from December 2023 to December 2024 were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into control group and study group using a random number table,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received conventional treatment(including lumbar traction and drug therapy)combined with meridian acupoint massage,while the study group received additional Shuyao Huoxue Tongluo Decoction based on the treatment for the control group.Before and after treatment,the scores of traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndrome,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores for pain,Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)scores for lumbar function,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores,and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and interleukin 6(IL-6)in the two groups were compared.After treatment,the clinical efficacy was evaluated between groups.Results(1)After 20 days of treatment,the total effective rate was 95.00%(57/60)in the study group versus 81.67%(49/60)in the control group(tested by chi-square test,P＜0.05),demonstrating significantly superior therapeutic effects in the study group.(2)After treatment,both groups showed significant reduction in TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.01),and the study group exhibited markedly decrease compared to the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the VAS scores for pain in both groups were significantly decreased compared to those before treatment(P＜0.01),and the study group exhibited obvious decrease of the scores than the control group(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,JOA scores for lumbar function in both groups were increased(P＜0.05),while Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores were decreased(P＜0.05),compared to those before treatment,and the study group demonstrated more significant improvements in both JOA score elevation and ODI score reduction(P＜0.05).(5)For serum inflammatory factors,interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels in both groups were significantly reduced(P＜0.05)after treatment,and the study group showed more pronounced decrease in both markers(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with meridian acupoint massage alone,the combined therapy of Shuyao Huoxue Tongluo Decoction and meridian acupoint massage is effective on significantly alleviating clinical symptoms,reducing serum inflammatory factors,and enhancing overall therapeutic outcomes in LDH patients with qi-stagnation and blood-stasis syndrome.

PURPOSE: Septic shock is associated with high mortality and poor outcomes among sepsis patients with coagulopathy. Although traditional statistical methods or machine learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed to predict septic shock, these potential approaches have never been systematically compared. The present work aimed to develop and compare models to predict septic shock among patients with sepsis. METHODS: It is a retrospective cohort study based on 484 patients with sepsis who were admitted to our intensive care units between May 2018 and November 2022. Patients from the 908th Hospital of Chinese PLA Logistical Support Force and Nanchang Hongdu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were respectively allocated to training (n=311) and validation (n=173) sets. All clinical and laboratory data of sepsis patients characterized by comprehensive coagulation indexes were collected. We developed 5 models based on ML algorithms and 1 model based on a traditional statistical method to predict septic shock in the training cohort. The performance of all models was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration plots. Decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the net benefit of the models. The validation set was applied to verify the predictive accuracy of the models. This study also used Shapley additive explanations method to assess variable importance and explain the prediction made by a ML algorithm. RESULTS: Among all patients, 37.2% experienced septic shock. The characteristic curves of the 6 models ranged from 0.833 to 0.962 and 0.630 to 0.744 in the training and validation sets, respectively. The model with the best prediction performance was based on the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, which was constructed by age, tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, white blood cells, and platelet counts. The SVM model showed good calibration and discrimination and a greater net benefit in decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION The SVM algorithm may be superior to other ML and traditional statistical algorithms for predicting septic shock. Physicians can better understand the reliability of the predictive model by Shapley additive explanations value analysis.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of pediatric myocardial infarction (MI) patients with coronary artery lesions (CAL) after Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods:Clinical data including baseline characteristics, KD and CAL information, clinical symptoms at MI onset, electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging findings, MI treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 MI patients with CAL after KD admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) Demographic characteristics: a total of 41 patients were included (36 males and 5 females). The age at MI was 4.6 (2.3, 5.7) years, and time from KD onset to MI was 397 (50, 1 095) d. (2) Treatment of acute KD: only 15 patients (37%) received standard initial treatment within 10 days of KD onset with intravenous immunoglobulin 2 g/kg. The other 26 cases (63%) received non-standard treatment or no treatment. (3) Treatment of CAL before MI: the time from KD onset to CAL was 14 (10, 116) d, with CAL not identified before MI onset in 15 patients. Among the 26 cases diagnosed with CAL prior to MI, 9 cases received only single or dual antiplatelet drug, of which 7 cases received oral dipyridamole. The remaining 16 cases received antiplatelet drug combined with warfarin, but only 1 case achieved the target international standardized ratio of 1.5-2.5. Out of all 41 cases, only 1 case (2%) received standard antithrombotic treatment before MI onset. (4) Clinical symptoms of MI: at MI onset, 32 patients presented with different clinical symptoms, with typical MI symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, precordial discomfort in 18 cases, and cardiopulmonary arrest accompanied by syncope or convulsions in 10 cases. Other non-specific symptoms included abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and pallor. Nine patients were asymptomatic and were found to have silent MI on follow-up. (5) ECG and imaging findings: ECG showed ST-T changes in 33 cases, and abnormal Q waves, and arrhythmias in the remaining patients; echocardiography indicated coronary artery aneurysm with thrombosis in 27 cases, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in 18 cases, abnormal wall motion in 15 cases, and ventricular aneurysm in 3 cases. Thirty-seven patients underwent coronary angiography and (or) multi-slice spiral CT angiography, with 39 occluded vessels and 3 severe stenosis (≥75%), all of which were caused by giant aneurism with thrombus formation. (6) Treatment of MI: of the 32 patients with acute MI, 9 patients received successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 7 patients received intravenous thrombolysis, and 1 patient underwent percutaneous coronary balloon angioplasty. All of these patients received dual antiplatelet drugs and low-molecular-weight heparin at therapeutic doses following MI treatment. Sixteen patients received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) treatment, all of which were successful. (7) Outcomes: the follow-up time was 994 (215, 1 832) d. Thirty-one patients showed improvement, 5 patients experienced disease progression or no change, 1 patient died, and 4 patients were lost to follow-up.Conclusions:MI in children with CAL after KD often occurs within 1 year after the onset of KD. MI can present with atypical clinical symptoms in children. CABG is the main treatment option in children severe CAL after KD who developed MI.

Aim To investigate the role of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase(TDO2)in cisplatin-acute kidney in-jury(Cis-AKI)and to explore the mechanism of TDO2 in relation to apoptosis in tubular epithelial cells(TECs)to investigate the mechanism of TDO2 associ-ated with apoptosis.Methods An AKI model was es-tablished by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin(Cis).Colorimetric assay was used to detect CRE and BUN levels,and PAS staining was employed to observe renal injury in mice.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect TDO2 protein expression and distribution and macrophage(F4/80+)infiltration;immunofluores-cence was used to detect the co-localization of TDO2 with the tubular marker LTL;TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in mouse kidney;flow cytome-try was used to detect overexpression of human renal cortical proximal tubular epithelial cells(HK2)and apoptosis after administration of the TDO2 inhibitor 680C91;Western blot was used to detect TDO2 and NF-κB pathway protein levels in HK2 cells after over-expression and inhibition of TDO2.Results In the o-verall animal experiments,Cis-AKI mice showed signif-icantly higher levels of CRE and BUN and obvious tu-bular damage compared with the control group;at the same time,the renal tissues of Cis-AKI mice showed increased expression of F4/80,and the proportion of apoptotic cells in kidney cells was increased.Immuno-histochemistry and immunofluorescence showed that the expression of TDO2 increased,mainly localized in TECs.In cellular experiments,HK2 cells overexpress-ing TDO2 increased the proportion of apoptosis,and the expression of TDO2,p-IKBα,and p-p65 proteins was elevated,and p-IKBα/IκBα and p-p65/p65 were ele-vated;furthermore,the proportion of apoptosis was re-duced by the administration of 680C91,and the expres-sion of p-IκBα,and p-p65 proteins decreased,and the expression of p-IKBα/IKBα,and p-p65/p65 de-creased.Conclusions Elevated TDO2 in TECs is in-volved in the pathological mechanism of Cis-AKI,which may be related to its induction of apoptosis in TECs and activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and consequently renal injury.
