Aim To explore the effect of serum contai-ning Duhuo Jisheng Decoction on the proliferation,ap-optosis and inflammation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS)induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and to reveal the under-lying mechanism.Methods The MH7A cells were divided into five groups:normal group(10％blank se-rum),model group(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+10％blank serum),Duhuo Jisheng Decoction low(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+2.5％drug-containing serum+7.5％blank serum),medium(10 pg·L-1 TNF-α+5％drug-con-taining serum+5％blank serum),high(10 μg·L-1 TNF-α+10％drug-containing serum)dose group.The concentration of serum containing Duhuo Jisheng Decoction was screened by MTT method.Cell prolifer-ation was detected using EdU staining.The expression of proliferation marker Ki67 was detected using immu-nofluorescence staining.The apoptosis rate was meas-ured by flow cytometry.The contents of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-6 and IL-10 in each group were detected by ELISA.The mRNA and protein expression of Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3 and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the cell prolifera-tion activity of the model group significantly increased,and the level of apoptosis decreased.The content of IFN-γ and IL-6 increased,and the content of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased.The TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated.After the intervention of low,medium and high dose groups of serum containing Du-huo Jisheng Decoction,it could effectively improve the abnormal proliferation of cells and enhance apoptosis.At the same time,it inhibited the inflammatory re-sponse and the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB sig-naling pathway.Conclusions The serum containing Duhuo Jisheng Decoction can inhibit the abnormal pro-liferation of RA-FLS induced by TNF-α and the secre-tion of pro-inflammatory factors,and enhance apoptosis and anti-inflammatory levels.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB sig-naling pathway.

Objective:To carry out an overview of systematic reviews on interventions to prevent the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients.Methods:Systematic reviews or Meta-analysis on interventions to prevent DFU recurrence were electronically retrieved from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Healthcare Center Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science. The search period was from database establishment to April 20, 2023. Two researchers independently searched and screened literature, and extracted data, and used AMSTAR 2 software and the quality evaluation criteria for systematic review of JBI Evidence-Based Healthcare Center to evaluate the methodological quality of the included literature. GRADE evaluation system was used for quality assessment of outcome indicators (DFU recurrence rate, effectiveness of measures to prevent DFU recurrence) .Results:A total of 24 systematic reviews were included. Studies showed that monitoring and intervention of foot skin temperature, therapeutic shoes or insoles, comprehensive intervention measures, and specific surgical methods could reduce the recurrence rate of DFU, while foot self-care, foot exercise, health education, and psychological intervention had no statistical effect on preventing DFU recurrence. The methodological quality of systematic reviews was generally low. The reports of four articles were relatively complete, 18 articles had certain defects, and two articles had serious defects. The evaluation of evidence quality showed that there were three pieces of moderate-quality evidence, seven pieces of low-quality evidence, and 30 pieces of extremely low-quality evidence.Conclusions:Existing evidence suggests that foot skin temperature monitoring and intervention, therapeutic shoes or insoles, comprehensive intervention measures, and specific surgical methods (such as Achilles tendon lengthening, metatarsophalangeal joint replacement, metatarsal head resection and so on) have a positive impact on preventing DFU recurrence. Rigorous and high standard research is still needed to verify the controversial issues, so as to provide reliable evidence for future clinical practice and studies.

Objective:To compare the short-term effect and adverse reaction of venetoclax(VEN)combined with azacitidine(AZA)versus"7+3"regimen in newly diagnosed elder patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:From January 2021 to January 2022,the clinical data of seventy-nine newly diagnosed elder patients with AML at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and the Shanxi Bethune Hospital were retrospectively analyzed,including VEN+AZA group(41 cases)and"7+3"group(38 cases).The propensity score matching(PSM)method was used to balance confounding factors,then response,overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS)and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.Results:The ORR of VEN+AZA group and"7+3"group was 68％and 84％,respectively,and the CRc was 64％and 72％,respectively,the differents were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).In the VEN+AZA group,there were 5 non-remission(NR)patients,4 with chromosome 7 abnormality(7q-/-7),and 1 with ETV6 gene mutation.Median followed-up time between the two groups was 8 months and 12 months,respectively,and the 6-months OS was 84％vs 92％(P=0.389),while 6-months PFS was 84％vs 92％(P=0.258).The main hematological adverse reactions in two groups were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳmyelosuppression,and the incidence rate was not statistically different(P＞0.05).The median time of neutrophil recovery in two groups was 27(11-70)d,25(14-61)d(P=0.161),and platelet recovery was 27(11-75)d,25(16-50)d(P=0.270),respectively.The infection rate of VEN+AZA group was lower than that of"7+3"group(56％vs 88％,P=0.012).The rate of lung infections of two groups was 36％and 64％,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.048).Conclusion:The short-term effect of VEN+AZA group and"7+3"regimens in eldrly AML patients are similar,but the VEN+AZA regimen had a lower incidence of infection.The presence of chromosome 7 abnormality(7q-/-7)may be a poor prognostic factor for elderly AML patients treated with VEN+AZA.

Objective:To investigate and assess hemolytic transfusion reaction in patient with complex and combined anti-Fya and anti-Jkb which so as to provide a safety blood transfusion strategy.Methods:ABO/Rh blood grouping,antibody screening and identification,and Coombs'tests were performed by the routine serological methods include manual tube and automatic blood group analyzer with matching micro-column gel cards from Diagnostic Grifols and Jiangsu LIBO.The hospital information system and laboratory information system were used to collect dada on patients' blood routine tests,liver and kidney function,coagulation,cardiac function,and other clinical indicators before and after blood transfusion were analyzed and compared in conjunction with the patients'clinical manifestations.Results:The patient's blood group was A/CcDEe.Before two transfusion,the anti-body screening were positive which identification were anti-Fya and anti-Fya combined with anti-Jkb respectively,while the Coomb's test were positive with anti-C3 and anti-IgG combined with anti-C3 respectively.No agglutination and hemolysis was observed in saline medium cross-matching test before two transfusion of Fya-red blood cell.But before re-transfusion agglutinated reaction was observed in cross-matching test by DG Gel Coombs,which strength was 2+on whether major or minor side.The patient developed soy sauce urine/hemoglobinuria and fever after transfused Fya-red blood cell again.Primary laboratory indicators were observed to be elevated,include C-reactive protein from 3.06 mg/L to 29.97 mg/L,total bilirubin from 21.4 μmol/L to 276.3 μmol/L,direct bilirubin from 8.4 μmol/L to 135.6 μmol/L,lactate dehydrogenase from 166 U/L to 1453 U/L.Urinary free hemoglobin test was 4+.The main laboratory indicators reflecting the heart,liver,kidney and circulatory coagulation function also have vary increased and gradually returned to normal after a week. Conclusion:Jkb-incompatible transfusion of the Kidd blood group system can lead to acute hemolytic transfusion reaction,but in emergency implementing incompatible transfusion due to IgG antibodies outside of the primary blood group (such as ABO/RhD)can ensure the implementation of emergency operation.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)belongs to the category of"Jing Long".Clinical management of BPH in TCM is root-aimed and kidney-targeted,in combination with the treatment of other viscera based on the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs.The neuro-endocrine-immune network of modern medicine is simi-lar to the holistic concept of TCM.Based on the study of the neuro-endocrine-immune network,with kidney deficiency as the root of pathogenesis,and starting from the classification of viscera,this review elucidates the etiologic mechanisms of BHP from the perspec-tive of Chinese and Western medicine and provides some reference for medication.
