ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Sizi Powder (四子散, SP) orientation osmotherapy in the treatment of stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsIn this study, 94 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group with 47 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, nursing and rehabilitation training, while the treatment group was treated with SP orientation osmotherapy in addition to the treatments in the control group. The treatment consisted of 20 minutes per session, once daily, 5 times a week, 2 weeks per course, with a total of 2 courses. Before the intervention, after 2 weeks intervention and after 4 weeks intervention, the upper limb motor function was evaluated by using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (U-FMA). The modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to assess upper limb spasticity, and joint range of motion was measured for shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation, elbow flexion, wrist palmar flexion, dorsiflexion, ulnar deviation, and radial deviation. Clinical efficacy for spasticity was evaluated after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. Skin conditions, including burns, allergic reactions, and blisters, were monitored during the treatment process. ResultsA total of 44 patients in the treatment group and 45 patients in the control group completed the study. The results showed that after 2 and 4 weeks of intervention, the U-FMA scores of both groups increased, with the treatment group showing higher scores than the control group (P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the MAS score distribution improved significantly in both groups (P<0.05), although no significant difference was found between the groups after 2 and 4 weeks treatment(P>0.05). The total effective rate of spasticity clinical efficacy in the treatment group after 2 and 4 weeks was 15.91% (7/44) and 40.91% (18/44), respectively, while in the control group, it was 11.11% (5/45) and 22.22% (10/45). There was no significant difference after 2 weeks treatment (P>0.05), but the treatment group showed a significantly higher total effective rate after 4 weeks treatment (P<0.05). After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the joint range of motion in the upper limbs was greater in both groups (P<0.05). After 2 weeks of intervention, the treatment group showed greater range of motion in shoulder flexion, extension, and abduction than the control group, and after 4 weeks of intervention, the treatment group demonstrated greater range of motion in shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and elbow flexion compared to the control group (P<0.05). During the treatment, one patient in the treatment group experienced mild skin allergy, while no other severe adverse reactions, such as intense pain, itching, blisters, or infection, were observed in any patients. ConclusionSP orientation osmotherapy can effectively improve upper limb motor function and joint range of motion in stroke patients with hemiplegia. After 4 weeks of treatment, it can reduce upper limb spasticity and improve clinical efficacy, with good safety.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Periostin in tissues of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS).METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect periostin expression in eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps(ECRSwNP),non-eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps(non-ECRSwNP),CRS without nasal polyps(CRSsNP),and control tissues.Correlations between periostin levels and blood eosinophil percentage(Eos%),Lund-Mackay score,modified endoscopic score,and Japanese epidemiological survey of refractory eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis(JESREC)score were analyzed.Additionally,changes in SNOT-22 and VAS scores were compared at different preoperative and postoperative times.The predictive value of periostin for ECRSwNP was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS Periostin expression was detected in all groups(ECRSwNP,non-ECRSwNP,CRSsNP,and controls),with predominant localization in the basement membrane and mucosal subepithelial lamina propria.Significantly elevated periostin levels were detected in the ECRSwNP group compared to the other three groups(P<0.001).Furthermore,Periostin mRNA expression showed significant positive correlations with blood Eos%,JESREC score,and Lund-Mackay score.SNOT-22 and VAS scores were significantly elevated in the ECRSwNP group at preoperative evaluation and 9 months postoperatively(P<0.001).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that periostin had a substantial predictive value for ECRSwNP(AUC=0.957).CONCLUSION Periostin plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis,contributing to the diagnosis,severity assessment,and prognosis evaluation of ECRSwNP,while offering potential therapeutic targets for CRS management.

OBJECTIVE To compare the expression characteristics of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),Smad2,Smad3,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers(E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin)in patients with different types of chronic sinusitis(CRS),to analyze the correlations of E-cadherin,N-cadherin and vimentin with TGF-β1 and the prognosis of surgical treatment in patients with different types of CRS.METHODS The expressions of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin,TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad3 in patients with different types of CRS and the control group were compared by Western blotting(WB)and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Analyze its correlation with the improvement degree of each clinical score after the operation.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the expression of E-cadherin decreased in the CRSsNP group,the non-ECRSwNP group and the ECRSwNP group,while the expressions of vimentin and N-cadherin increased.The protein expression of TGF-β1 in the CRSsNP group was higher than that in the non-ECRSwNP group and the control group(P<0.001),and the expressions of Smad2 and Smad3 in the CRSsNP group were higher than those in the ECRSwNP group,the non-ECRSwNP group and the control group(P<0.001).In the CRSsNP group,there was a positive correlation between TGF-β1 and vimentin(r=0.675,P=0.011),and a negative correlation with E-cadherin(r=-0.802,P=0.001).The expression of E-cadherin was negatively correlated with the improvement amplitude of SNOT-22 nasal symptom scores in patients with different types of CRS(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The EMT phenomenon occurs in different types of CRS.In CRS SNPS,EMT may be related to the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.The expressions of EMT markers E-cadherin,N-cadherin and vimentin are correlated with the decrease in the severity of postoperative disease in patients with CRS,suggesting a potential association between the EMT process and the surgical prognosis of patients with CRS.
