ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis， as well as the impact of recompensation on the prognosis of such patients， and to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of patients who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 2016 to December 2022 and were diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis due to hepatitis B， hepatitis C， alcoholic hepatitis， and autoimmune hepatitis， and they were divided into recompensation group and persistent decompensation group. To control for confounding factors， whether recompensation occurred was used as the rouping variable，and BMI， alcohol consumption history， HIV infection history， TG， CHOL， LDL， and HDL were used as covariates. The propensity score was calculated， and 1：1 nearest neighbor matching was performed with a caliper value of 0.1. After propensity score matching， the recompensation group and the persistent decompensation group with relatively balanced covariates were obtained. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for recompensation； the “rms” package was used to establish a nomogram； the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted to calculate the area under the ROC curve （AUC）； the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to assess the goodness of fit of the model； the “Calibration Curves” package was used to plot calibration curves for model assessment. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves， and the Log-rank test was used for comparison of survival curves. ResultsAmong the 863 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis， 305 experienced recompensation， resulting in an incidence rate of 35.3%. After PSM， 610 cases were successfully matched， with 305 cases in each group. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that etiology （hepatitis C： hazard ratio［HR］=0.288， P=0.002）； male（HR=0.701， P=0.016）， age（HR=0.988， P=0.047）， hemoglobin （HGB）（HR=1.006， P=0.017）， and CD4 T cell（HR=1.001，P=0.047）， TIPS procedure （HR=1.808，P=0.042） were independent influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. During follow-up， 116 patients died of liver disease-related causes， with 27 patients （8.85%） in the recompensation group and 89 （15.95%） in the persistent decompensation group； 109 patients developed HCC， with 23 patients （7.54%） in the recompensation group and 86 （15.41%） in the persistent decompensation group. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed significant separation between the patients with different states of compensation in terms of liver disease-related mortality rate and the incidence rate of HCC， and the Log-rank test showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in liver disease-related mortality rate （χ²=9.023， P=0.003） and the incidence rate of HCC （χ²=10.526， P=0.001）. ConclusionEtiology，sex，age，TIPS，HGB，and CD4 T cell are independent influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. There is a significant difference in the incidence rate of recompensation between decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different etiologies， and female patients and patients with a younger age，a history of TIPS， a higher HGB level， and a higher CD4 lymphocyte count are more likely to experience recompensation. Recompensation is the key to improving the long-term prognosis of patients and can significantly reduce long-term liver disease-related mortality rate and the incidence rate of HCC.

BACKGROUND:One-hole split endoscope as a new type of endoscopic technique is suitable for the treatment of far lateral lumbar disc disease.However,there are few research data on L5/S1,which has a very low incidence of far lateral lumbar disc herniation at home and abroad,and there is no detailed image anatomical data describing the one-hole split endoscope treatment of L5/S1 far lateral lumbar disc herniation. OBJECTIVE:Through the three-dimensional image reconstruction,the bony landmarks were determined to accurately locate the positional relationship between the L5 outlet nerve root,the L5/S1 intervertebral space and other structures.One-hole split endoscope via posterolateral approach was used to accurately,safely and effectively decompress the L5 outlet nerve root and treat the L5/S1 far lateral lumbar disc herniation. METHODS:Twenty-nine patients with L5/S1 unilateral far lateral lumbar disc herniation who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected,including 12 males and 17 females at the age of 48-74 years.The lumbar CT data of the patients were imported into Mimics 21.0 software to reconstruct the three-dimensional lumbar model.Measurement of L5/S1 related parameters:(1)Measurement on the sagittal plane at the intersection(H)of the lower edge of the transverse process and the lateral edge of the isthmus:The vertical distance between H and the upper and lower edges of L5 outlet nerve root(a1,a2);the vertical distance between H and the lower endplate of L5 and the upper endplate of S1(b1,b2);vertical distance from the lower edge of the pedicle from H to L5(c).(2)Horizontal distance between the left and right sides of the sagittal surface where the medial wall of the pedicle was located from H to L5(d).(3)The horizontal distance from H to the left and right side of the sagittal plane where the lateral margin of the dura was located(e).(4)Horizontal distance(f)between the left and right sides of the sagittal plane at the outermost edge of the lower endplate from H to L5.(5)Measurements were made on the sagittal plane where the outermost edge of the lower endplate of L5:The vertical distance between the cross section of H and the upper and lower edges of L5 outlet nerve root(g1,g2);vertical distance(h1,h2)between the transverse section of H and the lower endplate of L5 and the upper endplate of S1,respectively;(6)anteroposterior horizontal distance from H to L5 in the coronal plane where the last edge of the nerve root exits(i);(7)anteroposterior horizontal distance from the highest point of the posterior margin of the sacral wing to the last margin of the inferior endplate of L5 in the coronal plane(j). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant difference in the relevant measurement parameters between men and women(P>0.05).(2)a1,a2,b1,b2,c,d,e,f,h1,h2,g1,g2,i,and j on the affected side were not significantly different from the healthy side(P>0.05).(3)There was no significant difference between a1 and c(P>0.05),indicating that the lower edge of the pedicle was the upper edge of the L5 outlet nerve root;the L5 outlet nerve root was close to the lower edge of the pedicle and ran anterolateral behind the L5 vertebral body,and H was located above the L5 outlet nerve root.(4)With H as the bony marker point,it was not necessary to probe upward or to remove the isthmus,but only to grind part of the bone downward and laterally to reveal the L5 outlet nerve root and vertebral space,and to have enough safe distance to avoid damage to the dural membrane to complete exploration and decompression of the lateral recess and foraminal region.(5)The surgeon could operate in the sagittal plane where the most lateral edge of the L5 inferior endplate was located,and in the"rectangular area"formed by the L5 transverse process and the sacral wing.The closer to the medial and inferior area(Kambin triangle),the safer the operation was.(6)It is suggested that using H as the bony landmark point to locate the L5 outlet nerve root and intervertebral space through one-hole split endoscope via posterolateral approach can achieve accurate,safe and effective decompression of L5/S1 far lateral lumbar disc herniation.

P-glycoprotein(P-gp)is an ATP-dependent efflux transporter that is distributed in many tissues and organs.P-gp can selectively pump endogenous substrates and exogenous chemicals from the cell to the outside of the cell to maintain a stable endo-environment.However,it meanwhile restricts the entry of therapeutic drug into tissues and organs,and in particular,mediates the multidrug resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.Therefore,understanding the localization of P-gp in different tissues and organs may be an important breakthrough point for disease treatment.In this paper,we mainly review the molecular structure,transport mechanism,localization,and regulation of P-gp in different tissues and organs,providing reference for the subsequent treatment of diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between albumin （Alb） and recompensation by comparing recompensation rate between hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different Alb levels， and to provide guidance for the identification and management of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsRelated clinical data were collected from 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 1， 2016 to December 31， 2022， and they were divided into three groups based on the level of Alb. The linear regression analysis and chi-square test were used for trend tests. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted for the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation in the three groups， and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the association between Alb and recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis. ResultsAmong the 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis， 270 achieved recompensation， with a recompensation rate of 36.8%. All patients had a median Alb level of 29.90 （25.90 — 34.80） g/L on admission， and according to the level of Alb， they were divided into <25.9 g/L group with 177 patients， 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group with 377 patients， and >34.8 g/L group with 180 patients； 36 patients （20.3%） in the <25.9 g/L group， 138 （36.6%） in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group， and 96 （53.3%） in the >34.8 g/L group achieved recompensation， and the recompensation rate increased with the increase in Alb level （χ²=41.730， P<0.001）. After adjustment for all confounding factors， compared with the <25.9 g/L group， there was a significant increase in the incidence rate of recompensation in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.842， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.274 — 2.663） and the >34.8 g/L group （HR=2.336， 95% CI： 1.575 — 3.463）. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation between the three groups （χ²=41.632， P<0.001）. ConclusionAlb level is an influencing factor for recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis， and the recompensation rate increases with the increase in Alb level.

Objective Understanding the population structure of mosquitoes in the drainage system of Minhang District,Shanghai,and exploring the physical prevention and control technology of mosquito traps with a Vazor mosquito repellent film in the drainage system.Methods A 500 mL water spoon was used to assist in visual inspection to investigate the breeding status of mosquito larvae in the drainage system.A carbon dioxide mosquito trap method was used to monitor adult mosquitoes around the ground drainage system,and the artificial hour method was used to monitor adult mosquitoes around the underground drainage system.Mosquito-repellent film was applied at a rate of 1 mL/m2 to the drainage system where mosquito larvae or pupae are found,and the breeding situation was observed and recorded.Results The positivity rate of mosquitoes breeding in the ground drainage system was 50%.The mosquito larvae in the drainage channels were primarily Aedes albopictus,whereas Ae.albopictus were primarily noted in the sewage wells.The proportions of Ae.albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens in the rainwater wells were similar,and the dominant mosquito species around the surface drainage system was Ae.Albopictus.The positive rate of mosquito breeding in the underground drainage system was 47%,with the dominant mosquito species being Cx.pipiens pallens(58.39%)followed by Ae.albopictus(41.6%).The dominant adult mosquito species around the drainage system were Cx.pipiens pallens(83%)followed by Ae.albopictus(11%).In terms of the effectiveness of mosquito-repellent water film,the mosquito breeding rates of the ground and underground drainage systems using mosquito-repellent water film decreased to 2.78%and 5%after 1 week of use,respectively,and then rebounded after the 3rd week.After a supplementary dose during the 5th week,the breeding rates returned to normal.No statistically significant differences were observed in the effect compared with the standard control group using 1%bisulfite granules;however,a statistically significant difference was noted compared with the blank control group without special treatment.Conclusions In the drainage system of Minhang District,Shanghai,mosquito breeding is severe,and variations exist in the dominant mosquito species in different environmental drainage facilities.The simultaneous use of mosquito-repellent films can effectively control mosquito breeding in drainage systems.

Objective: To investigate the impact of tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13(TNFSF13) derived from M2 macrophages on temozolomide(TMZ) resistanceviaregulating interferon regulatory factor 8(IRF8) in glioblastoma(GBM) cells. Methods: Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was used to detect the expression of TNFSF13 in normal brain tissues and GBM tissues. ELISA was used to measure the expression of TNFSF13 in the conditioned media(CM) of M0-type macrophages and M2-type macrophages. M0-CM and M2-CM were used to culture U251 sensitive(U251/S) and resistant(U251/R) cells. The TMZ treatment group was also treated with 800 μmol/L TMZ. The U251/R cells were divided into the following groups: con group, M2vector-CM group, M2vector-CM+TMZ group, M2TNFSF13-CM group, M2TNFSF13-CM+TMZ group, si-IRF8 group, and si-IRF8+M2TNFSF13-CM group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability and calculate the IC50value. Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis. Western blot was used to detect the expression of IRF8. Nude mouse xenograft models were constructed and the nude mice were divided into the following groups: U251+M2si-NCgroup, U251+M2si-TNFSF13group, U251+M2si-NC+TMZ group, U251+M2si-TNFSF13+TMZ group. The tumor volume and mass of each group were measured, and IHC was used to detect the expression of TNFSF13 and CD206 in tumor tissues of each group. Results: Compared with adjacent tissues and M0-CM, the expression of TNFSF13 was up-regulated in cancer tissues and M2-CM. Compared with the M0-CM group, the IC50value of TMZ and the number of cell invasions in U251/S and U251/R cells in the M2-CM group significantly increased(allP<0.05). Overexpression of TNFSF13 in M2 macrophages could promote the IC50value of TMZ in U251/R cells, promote cell invasion, and inhibit cell apoptosis(allP<0.05). Overexpression of TNFSF13 promoted the expression of IRF8, and knocking down IRF8 could attenuate the TMZ resistance of U251/R mediated by overexpression of TNFSF13.In vivostudies showed that knocking down TNFSF13 alone or combined with TMZ treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced the expression of TNFSF13 and CD206. Conclusion TNFSF13 derived from M2 macrophages promotes TMZ resistance in GBM cells by activating IRF8.

Objective:To study the composition and influencing factors of hospitalization expenses of patients with sequelae of ce-rebral infarction caused by the dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),so as to provide references for the fine management within the hospital and the medical insurance department to improve the payment policy suitable for the characteristics of TCM.Method:A total of 1 261 cases with ICD code 169.3 in the sample of tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals from 2020 to 2022 were collected.Single factor analysis,correlation analysis,multiple linear stepwise regression and other methods were used to analyze the composition and main influencing factors of hospitalization expenses of patients with cerebral infarction sequelae.Re-sults:The average length of hospital stay of patients with sequelae of cerebral infarction was 16.71 days per time,the average hospi-talization cost was 24 148.83 yuan per time,and the proportion of TCM treatment cost per time was 54.43％.The results of stepwise regression showed that the length of stay,the condition of admission and the complication of pulmonary infection had a significant im-pact on the hospitalization expenses(P＜0.05),and the length of stay had the greatest impact.Conclusion:It is suggested that the hospital should optimize and improve the clinical pathway of TCM dominant diseases and establish an effective dynamic management mechanism,and the medical insurance department should improve the adjustment mechanism of the auxiliary list of TCM dominant diseases under the disease scoring payment.

High flow nasal cannula（HFNC）is a novel oxygen therapy developed in recent years，and has been successfully used in pediatric diseases such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia.Although there has been a lack of clinical application guidelines in pediatrics，it has been increasingly applied to the treatment of exacerbations of bronchial asthma.This review focused on efficacy，application timing，complications and parameters adjustment of HFNC in children with asthma exacerbation，so as to further guide the clinical use.

Objective:To assess the effect of mild intraventricular hemorrhage（IVH）on the early motor development of infants at high risk of brain injury,and to guide the intervention according to its characteristics.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to select neonates discharged from the Neonatal Unit of Xi 'an Children 's Hospital from February 1，2022 to March 31，2023，with one or more high-risk factors of brain injury.The patients were assigned to low-grade IVH group and no IVH group according to ultrasound diagnosis.The research subjects exclucled other brain injury diseases besides mild IVH.Motor development was assessed using test of infant motor performance(TIMP)，reflecting performance in head control，auditory and visual responses，defensive movements，trunk movements，limb movements，and more.Both groups completed TIMP assessment between discharge and 16 weeks of the corrected age(CA).The differences of TIMP scores between two groups were compared . Results:A total of 329 neonates at high risk for brain injury were recruited，including 98 cases with grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ IVH（low-grade IVH group）diagnosed through brain ultrasonography and 231 controls(no IVH group).The Z scores of TIMP in the low-grade IVH group were lower than that in no IVH group（-0.25 ±0.87 vs.0.03 ±0.71， P=0.015）.The risk factors of brain injury were matched for further comparison.At CA2-5 weeks，the scores in low-grade IVH group of TIMP total scores（74.10 ±12.28 vs.84.24 ±7.71），observation items（10.57 ±1.47 vs.11.24 ±1.29），elicitation（63.17 ±12.13 vs.73.00 ±7.36），sitting（9.14 ±2.90 vs.11.65 ±3.26），supine（22.07 ±4.73 vs.24.79 ±3.55），prone position（10.35 ±3.74 vs.12.82 ±3.15）and lateral position（4.00 ±2.85 vs.5.48 ±2.13）were significantly lower than those in no IVH group（ P<0.05）.At CA6-9 weeks，the scores in low-grade IVH group of sitting position（10.44 ±4.01 vs.12.96 ±3.02），supine position（24.04 ±4.60 vs.26.83 ±3.53），lateral position（4.83 ±2.53 vs.6.25 ±2.6）were significantly lower than those in no IVH group（ P<0.05）.At CA12-15 weeks，the low-grade IVH group showed significant differences in TIMP total score（104.00 ±12.98 vs.114.10 ±13.16），elicitation（92.00 ±12.64 vs.102.00 ±13.10），sitting（17.00 ±3.50 vs.19.13 ±3.55）and lateral position（7.35 ±2.14 vs.9.00 ±2.37）compared with those from no IVH group（ P<0.05）. Conclusion:Mild intraventricular hemorrhage affected the early motor development of high-risk infants with brain injury，mainly manifested as a lag in the ability of head control at CA2-5 weeks，and the trend continued until CA12-15 weeks.Early monitoring of motor ability and intervention of head control ability should be carried out in high-risk children with mild intraventricular hemorrhage.
