ObjectiveTo reveal the compatibility rules of the core compound formula and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) components for prevention and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) by Huazhuo Jiedu (turbidity-resolving and detoxifying) therapy through uniform design in view of the potential regulatory pathway of endogenous turbid-toxin retention in CAG, elucidate the potential pathway by which the compound formulas regulate the Wnt/β-catenin-connexin 43 (CX43) signaling axis, demonstrated the efficacy enhancement and toxicity attenuation among the components, thus providing experimental evidence for the scientific application of multi-component, multi-target compatibility in TCM compound formulas. MethodsA mouse model of CAG was established with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). Sixty mice were randomly allocated into 5 groups (n=12 per group): blank control, model, low-dose Huazhuo Jiedu core compound formula (HXFF-L, 4.004 g·kg-1), high-dose Huazhuo Jiedu core compound formula (HXFF-H, 8.008 g·kg-1), and positive control (folic acid at 11 mg·kg-1 + vitamin B12 at 14 mg·kg-1). The therapeutic efficacy and molecular mechanism of the core compound formula were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), immunofluorescence assay, and Western blot. The chemical components of the core compound formula were detected and effective components were screened by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS). Another 120 mice were randomized into blank control, model, and 8 HXFF component-combination groups with different dosages (uniform design groups 1-8, n=12 per group). A uniform design was adopted, with pathological scores of mouse gastric tissue as well as serum levels of pepsinogen Ⅰ (PGⅠ), pepsinogen Ⅱ (PGⅡ), and gastrin 17 (GAS17) set as dependent variables. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to predict the optimal proportion of core components in the compound formula and explore its compatibility rules. ResultsPharmacodynamic validation showed that compared with the blank control group, the model group had decreased gastric weight index (P<0.01) and increased pathological damage score and inflammatory factor levels (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, these indicators were reversed in the HXFF-L, HXFF-H, and positive control groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). Immunofluorescence results showed that CX43 expression was downregulated in the model group compared with the blank control group (P<0.01) and upregulated in the HXFF-H and positive control groups compared with the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group, the model group demonstrated upregulated protein levels of Wnt and β-catenin in the gastric tissue (P<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, the protein level of Wnt was downregulated in the HXFF-L, HXFF-H, and positive control groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), while that of β-catenin was downregulated only in the HXFF-H group (P<0.05). A total of 25 compounds were identified in the core compound formula, including 9 from Coptidis Rhizoma, 10 from Pogostemonis Herba, 2 from Scorpio, and 4 from Lilii Bulbus. According to the category and origin of compounds, Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids, Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils, Scorpio peptides, and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids were finally selected for component research. The predicted optimal combination of TCM components was as follows: Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids at 75 mg·kg-1, Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils at 2.25 mg·kg-1, Scorpio protein extract at 90 mg·kg-1, and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids at 9 mg·kg-1. Coptidis Rhizoma alkaloids, Scorpio protein extract, Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils, and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids can ameliorate pathological lesions of the gastric tissue. Scorpio protein extract exerted positive regulatory effects on the gastric function, while Pogostemonis Herba volatile oils and Lilii Bulbus alkaloids showed negative correlations with partial gastric function indicators. Further investigations are required to clarify their dose-effect relationships and safety profiles. ConclusionThis study, for the first time, predicts the optimal proportion and synergistic regulatory mechanism of the core compound formula of Huazhuo Jiedu therapy, revealing the synergistic compatibility logic of its components. It provides a novel strategy for the precise TCM treatment of CAG and the modern development of compound formulas.

AIM: To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment experience and the distribution characteristics of pathogenic microorganisms of primary canaliculitis, and provide reference for its diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: Retrospective clinical study. A total of 119 cases(120 eyes)diagnosed as primary canaliculitis in the department of ophthalmology of Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital from June 2019 to February 2023 were included. The treatment methods were mainly divided into conservative treatment(removing canaliculus stones through lacrimal punctum combined with injecting antibiotic eye ointment into the tube)and surgical treatment. The inspection methods of pathogenic microorganisms included secretion smear microscopy and microbial culture.RESULTS: Primary canaliculitis was more common in middle-aged and older female, mainly manifested by long-term red eye and increased secretion; however, the majority was not accompanied by tearing. Totally, 118 cases(99.2%)had monocular disease, while 63 cases(63 eyes; 52.5%)had inferior lacrimal canaliculus disease. Laboratory examination: Among 119 cases(120 eyes), 4 cases(4 eyes)did not undergo laboratory examination, and the other 115 cases(116 eyes)were as follows: Gram staining microscopy of secretion smear showed that Actinomyces were detected in 102 cases(103 eyes; 88.8%), while no fungus was detected; Microbial culture: 85 cases(86 eyes; 74.1%)were positive for bacterial culture. A total of 111 bacterial strains were cultured, which contained 26 types of bacteria. Among them, 32 strains were aerobic(28.8%); 26 strains were anaerobic(23.4%); and 53 strains were facultative anaerobic(47.7%). The most common bacteria were streptococcus(20 strains), staphylococcus(13 strains), Propionibacterium(10 strains), and capnocytophaga(10 strains). Only 4 cases(4 eyes; 3.4%)of microbial cultures were positive for Actinomyces. Fungus was negative in all microbial cultures. Treatment: Of the 119 cases(120 eyes), 114 cases(115 eyes; 95.8%)were cured by conservative treatment of removing lacrimal canaliculus stones through lacrimal punctum and intracanalicular ointment infiltration(IOI), while 5 cases(5 eyes)were not effective in conservative treatment; however, all of them were cured after surgical treatment, and the cure rate for primary canaliculitis was 100.0%.CONCLUSION: The incidence of primary canaliculitis is low, and it is prevalent in middle-aged and older female. Single lacrimal canaliculus is more common, which could be missed and misdiagnosed in clinic. Actinomyces is the major pathogen observed mostly in mixed infections, with heterogeneous strains, mainly anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common whereas fungal canaliculitis is rare. The cure rate of primary canaliculitis is high after diagnosis, and IOI method is recommended as the initial treatment of canaliculitis.

It was a retrospective cohort study. Eighty maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were enrolled, among whom 48 patients survived and 32 died. The clinical data between the survival and death groups were compared. The Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of death in MHD patients with COVID-19, and a survival prediction model was constructed. The results showed that age, lesion-cumulative number of lung segments, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, serum ferritin, interleukin-6, D-dimer, serum phosphorus, and proportions of males, diabetes and hypoxemia in the death group were higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). Increased age ( HR=1.039, 95% CI 1.007-1.072, P=0.017), diabetes ( HR=2.688, 95% CI 1.018-6.991, P=0.046), increased C-reactive protein ( HR=1.006, 95% CI 1.001-1.011, P=0.012), and increased serum phosphorus ( HR=1.573, 95% CI 1.015-2.438, P=0.043) were independent influencing factors of death in MHD patients with COVID-19. The survival prediction model was established based on age, diabetes, C-reactive protein and blood phosphorus. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the combined model for survival time at 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day were 0.751 (95% CI 0.690-0.811), 0.768 (95% CI 0.712-0.824), and 0.780 (95% CI 0.729-0.831), respectively. The concordance index of cross- validation as internal validation was 0.797 (95% CI 0.757-0.837). Increased age, diabetes, elevated C-reactive protein and elevated blood phosphorus are independent risk factors of COVID-19 death in MHD patients, and the survival prediction model built by those factors has good efficacy.

We report a case of a female teenage with monogenic diabetes mellitus caused by glucokinase regulator (GCKR) gene mutation who presented with diabetic ketosis and misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes. The patient was treated with insulin for 3 years since diagnosis. The islet function was well preserved, but polycystic ovary syndrome was developed. Whole-exome gene sequencing revealed a GCKR gene c. 69delG heterozygous mutation. After molecular diagnosis, the insulin dosage was gradually reduced to full cessation, and only metformin sustained-release tablets were taken to control blood glucose. It is necessary to regular evaluate islet function of patient with type 1 diabetes, and genetic test is of significance for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To explore the associations of platelet parameters platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and plateletcrit (PCT) with the risk for stroke in people with different blood pressure levels.Methods:All the participants were from Dongfeng-Tongji cohort, including 38 295 retired employees from Dongfeng Motor Corporation at the first follow-up survey. After excluding participants with coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, history of platelet influential drug use and those with missed data of platelet parameters or blood pressure or lost to follow-up, finally a total of 21 294 participants were included in this study. All the participants completed baseline questionnaires, physical examinations, clinical biochemical tests, and blood sample collection. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios ( HRs) and the corresponding 95% confident intervals ( CIs) for the associations between platelet parameters and risk for stroke in people with different blood pressure levels. Results:After a mean follow-up of 8.0 years, 1 578 participants developed incident stroke [1 266 ischemic stroke (IS) cases and 312 hemorrhagic stroke (HS) cases]. Compared with the participants with PLT<188×10 9/L, those with PLT≥188×10 9/L among hypertension cases were significantly associated with higher risks for stroke and IS (stroke: HR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.12-1.44; IS: HR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.21-1.60). Among hypertension group, compared with participants with PCT<0.165%, PCT≥0.165% were significantly associated with higher risk for stroke ( HR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.01-1.30) and lower risk for HS ( HR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.53-0.93); Among non-hypertension and hypertension group, PCT ≥0.165% were significantly associated with higher risks of IS ( HR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.05-1.54; HR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.14-1.50). MPV and PDW were not significantly associated with risk for stroke. Risk for stroke increased significantly in hypertension cases with different platelet parameters levels compared with non-hypertension cases with lower levels of each platelet parameters. Conclusion:Higher levels of PLT and PCT could increase the risks for stroke and IS in middle-aged and elderly hypertension patients, and lower levels of PCT could decrease the risk for HS in hypertension patients.
