Aim To investigate the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract(GBE)on vascular endothelial dysfunc-tion induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH)in rats and its related mechanisms.Methods The CIH rat model was established,and 50 and 100 mg·kg-1 GBE was administered by intragastric administration.The systolic blood pressure(SBP)of the tail artery was detected in each group.HE staining was used to detect the morphology of aorta tissue.DAF-FM DA staining and nitric reductase assay were used to detect NO levels.ELISA was used to detect serum ET-1,TNF-α and IL-6 levels.DHE staining was used to de-tect reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels of aortic tis-sue.Kits were used to detect the serum levels of MDA,SOD and GSH-Px.Western blot was used to detect the levels of VCAM-1,ICAM-1,nucleus Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 of aortic tissue.Results GBE sig-nificantly decreased the levels of SBP,ET-1,ROS,MDA,VCAM-1,ICAM-1,TNF-α and IL-6,and sig-nificantly increased the levels of NO,SOD,GSH-Px,nuclear Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 in CIH rats.GBE sig-nificantly improved the histomorphology of aorta in CIH rats.Conclusions GBE can improve vascular endo-thelial dysfunction and reduce blood pressure in CIH model rats.The mechanism may be related to the acti-vation of Nrf2/ARE pathway and the inhibition of oxi-dative stress and inflammation by GBE.

Objective To explore the predictive value of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1)and leukotriene B4(LTB4)in patients with intracranial aneurysms for cerebral vasospasm(CVS)after interventional embolization.Methods A total of 98 patients with intracranial aneurysms admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to September 2023 were regarded as the observation group,and were divided into the CVS group(32 cases)and the non CVS group(66 cases)according to whether CVS occurred or not within 3 to 5 days after surgery;102 healthy examinees in our hospital were selected as the control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of sFlt-1 and LTB4;the influencing factors for CVS after interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis;the predictive value of serum sFlt-1 and LTB4 levels for the occurrence of CVS after interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum levels of sFlt-1 and LTB4 of patients in the observation group were obviously higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum levels of sFlt-1 and LTB4,and the proportions of patients with postoperative blood pressure fluctuation range≥30 mmHg and Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ in the CVS group were obviously higher than those in the non CVS group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).SFlt-1(OR:2.985;95%CI:1.684 to 5.291)and LTB4(OR:2.868;95%CI:1.581 to 5.204)were the independent risk factors for CVS after interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of sFlt-1 and LTB4 alone and in combination for predicting the occurrence of CVS after interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms were 0.839,0.825,and 0.915,respectively,with sensitivity of 84.44%,87.59%,and 81.36%,and specificity of 74.26%,75.87%,and 90.98%,respectively.The AUC of the combination of the two was higher than those of sFlt-1 and LTB4 alone,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=2.150,2.546,P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of sFlt-1 and LTB4 in patients with CVS after interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms are increased,and the combination of the two can serve as the important indicators for predicting CVS.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficiency of robotic visualization system(RVS)-assisted microsurgical re-construction of the reproductive tract in male rats and the satisfaction of the surgeons.Methods:We randomly divided 8 adult male SD rats into an experimental and a control group,the former treated by RVS-assisted microsurgical vasoepididymostomy(VE)or vaso-vasostomy(VV),and the latter by VE or VV under the standard operating microscope(SOM).We compared the operation time,me-chanical patency and anastomosis leakage immediately after surgery,and the surgeons'satisfaction between the two groups.Results:No statistically significant difference was observed the operation time between the experimental and the control groups,and no anasto-mosis leakage occurred after VV in either group.The rate of mechanical patency immediately after surgery was 100％in both groups,and that of anastomosis leakage after VE was 16.7％in the experimental group and 14.3％in the control.Compared with the control group,the experimental group achieved dramatically higher scores on visual comfort(3.00±0.76 vs 4.00±0.53,P＜0.05),neck/back comfort(2.75±1.16 vs 4.38±1.06,P＜0.01)and man-machine interaction(3.88±1.55 va 4.88±0.35,P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the scores on image definition and operating room suitability between the two groups.Conclusion:RVS can be used in microsurgical reconstruction of the reproductive tract in male rats and,with its advantages over SOM in ergonomic design and image definition,has a potential application value in male reproductive system micosurgery.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Guihuang Formula(GHF)in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis with the syndrome of damp-heat stasis in the essence chamber.Methods:This study included 120 cases of type Ⅲ prostatitis with damp-heat stasis syndrome in the essence chamber,which were randomly and equally divided into a GHF and a control group,the for-mer treated with GHF and the latter with Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Capsules,both for 6 successive weeks.We fol-lowed up the patients for 4 weeks,recorded the NIH-CPSI,TCM symptom scores,and results of prostatic fluid routine,blood and u-rine routine,liver and kidney function and electrocardiogram examinations,and compared them between the two groups of patients be-fore and after treatment.Results:Compared with the baseline,the total NIH-CPSI scores were significantly decreased in both the GHF and control groups after 6 weeks of treatment,even more significantly in the former group(28.34±9.23 vs 6.78±3.53,P＜0.05)than in the latter(27.81±8.28 vs 14.48±4.27,P＜0.05),so were the scores on pain,voiding symptoms,quality of life(QOL)impact,TCM symptoms and WBC count(all P＜0.05),while the number of lecithin bodies remarkably increased(P＜0.05).There were statically significant differences in the above parameters at 4,6 and 10 weeks of medication(P＜0.05),but not at 2 weeks(P＞0.05).No obvious abnormalities or adverse reactions were observed in either of the two groups during the treatment.Conclusion:Guihuang Formula is safe and effective in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis with the syndrome of damp-heat stasis in the essence chamber.

Objective To explore the relevant risk factors of H.pylori infection,and provide reference for prevention and treatment of H.pylori in this area,and further provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods A total of 1200 residents in four districts of Haikou city were investigated by questionnaire and urea 14 C breath test by holistic stratified random sampling to calculate the population infection rate and analyze the risk factors of infection.Results The total infection rate was 32.5％,which was lower than the national H.pylori infection rate.No consumption of fruits and vegetables,no habit of washing hands before meals,and people with gastrointestinal symptoms,are independent risk factors of H.pylori infection.No consumption of pickled products is of great significance to prevent H.pylori infection.Conclusion The prevalence of H.pylori infection in the population of Haikou is lower than the national average,and H.pylori infection is closely related to the poor living habits of residents.

Objective To explore the application effect of multi-disciplinary team(MDT)model in hospital antimi-crobial management.Methods Relevant data on antimicrobial use in hospitalized patients in a hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively,January-December 2021 adopted conventional management mode and was as the control group,January-December 2022 adopted MDT management model and was as the inter-vention group.Antimicrobial therapy relevant indicators between two groups of patients were compared.Results After adopting the MDT management model,pathogen detection rate before the therapeutic antimicrobial use in the intervention group(73.62％)was higher than that in the control group(70.56％),difference was statistically sig-nificant(P＜0.001).Pathogen detection rate related to healthcare-associated infection diagnosis was 87.98％in the control group and 88.89％in the intervention group,with no statistically significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Pathogen detection rate before combined use of key antimicrobial agents in the intervention group(93.94％)was higher than that in the control group(92.00％),difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Antimicro-bial use rate in hospitalized patients and use rate of prophylactic antimicrobial agents in class Ⅰ incision surgery de-creased from 38.03％and 21.03％to 32.78％and 10.30％,respectively,with statistically significant differences(both P＜0.05).The amount and intensity of antimicrobial use in hospitalized patients in the intervention group de-creased.The implementation rate of bundled prevention and control measures for multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO)after intervention was significantly higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).MDRO detection rate decreased from 34.70％to 32.37％,difference was statistically significant(P=0.027).there was no significant change in the MDRO case infection rate.Conclusion The MDT model can effectively improve the standardized management of antimicrobial agents,promote the rational use of anti-microbial agents in clinical practice,and prevent bacterial resistance.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)on HBV replication and the antiviral effect of HO-1 combined with α-interferon(IFN-α).Methods HepG2.2.15 cells and HBV1.3-transfected HepG2 cells(HepG2-HBV1.3)were used as HBV replicating cell models;Hemin treated HepG2.2.15 and HepG2-HBV1.3 cells,to induce the expression of HO-1 molecules.CCK-8 method was used to assess the toxic effects of Hemin on HepG2 and HepG2.2.15;chemiluminescence method was used to analyze HBsAg and HBeAg in the supernatants of Hemin-treated group and si-HO-1 and other experimental groups;RT-qPCR was used to ana-lyze HO-1,IFN-β and HBV-DNA;Western blot was used to analyze the expression of IRF-3 and the expression of related molecules in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway;Hemin combined with IFN-α treated HepG2.2.15 to moni-tor whether HO-1 had synergistic IFN-α antiviral effect.Results Hemin dose-dependently induced HO-1,and HO-1 was induced to exert a significant anti-HBV effect,while the expression of IFN-β,IRF-3,and IRF-9 and MxA,downstream molecules of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway,were all increased.Silencing HO-1 expression reversed the antiviral effect in the Hemin-induced group,and at the same time,type Ⅰ interferon IFN-β showed low expression,and the expression of IRF-9 and MxA in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway was inhibited as well.He-min combined with IFN-α exerted stronger antiviral effects.Conclusion HO-1 can exert an anti-HBV effect,which may be due to increased phosphorylation of IRF-3 to induce type Ⅰ interferon expression and thus activate the JAK/STAT signaling pathway to exert an antiviral effect;HO-1 can synergize with IFN-α to exert an antiviral effect.
