ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of action of the Qufeng Tongqiao Cough-relieving Decoction （祛风通窍止咳方， QTCD） in the treatment of upper airway cough syndrome （UACS）. MethodsTwenty-four guinea pigs were randomly divided into blank group， model group， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） group， and inhibitor group， with six guinea pigs in each group. Except for the blank group， guinea pigs were sensitized with ovalbumin and aluminum hydroxide via intraperitoneal injection， followed by ovalbumin nasal drops combined with smoke exposure to establish the UACS model. After modeling， the TCM group was administered QTCD 0.9 g/（100 g·d） by gavage， the inhibitor group received the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 4 （TRPV4） inhibitor GSK2193874 1 mmol/L， 5 min by nebulisation， and the blank group and model group were given 2 ml/（100 g·d） normal saline by gavage once daily. After 7 days of treatment， a cough provocation test was performed using 0.4 mol/L citric acid. The levels of IgE in serum and inflammatory cytokines， including interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8） in serum， bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF）， and nasal lavage fluid （NLF） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Histopathological changes in lung and nasal mucosal tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein levels of TRPV4， substance P （SP）， and calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） in lung and nasal mucosal tissues. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of TRPV4， SP， and CGRP in lung tissues. ResultsHE staining showed significant structural damage and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung and nasal mucosal tissues in the model group， while the TCM group and inhibitor group showed improved pathological changes. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed increased cough frequency， serum IgE level， and IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF. The protein levels of TRPV4， SP， and CGRP in lung and nasal mucosal tissues and their mRNA expression were elevated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the TCM group and inhibitor group showed reduced cough frequency， serum IgE level， and TRPV4 and SP mRNA expression in lung tissues. The TCM group showed reduced IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF， and reduced TRPV4 and CGRP protein levels in lung and nasal mucosal tissues. The inhibitor group showed reduced IL-6 and IL-8 levels in serum， BALF， and NLF， reduced IL-6 in BALF， reduced IL-8 in NLF， and decreased TRPV4， SP， and CGRP protein levels in lung tissues and SP and CGRP protein levels in nasal mucosal tissues （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the TCM group， the inhibitor group had increased serum IgE， IL-6， and IL-8 levels， increased IL-6 level in BALF， and increased IL-8 levle in NLF， but decreased SP protein level in lung tissues and increased TRPV4 and SP mRNA expression in lung tissues （P＜0.01）. ConclusionQTCD effectively reduces cough frequency in the UACS guinea pig model. Its mechanism may involve inhibiting the activation of the TRPV4 pathway， improving airway neurogenic inflammation， alleviating inflammatory responses， and reducing cough hypersensitivity.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Objective To establish a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) expressing human triple mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the hippocampus, and to provide a model for the study of disease mechanisms and drug development. Methods Twenty-four 12-week-old SPF-grade female SD rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a virus control group and an experimental group, with eight rats in each group; among them, the experimental group received a stereotaxic injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying the human triple mutant APP and NanoLuc luciferase genes into the hippocampus. In vivo imaging was used to observe viral expression in the brains of rats in each group, the novel object recognition test was used to assess the recognition memory of the rats in each group, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of the APP gene, HE staining was used to examine the brain histopathology, Nissl staining was used to assess the hippocampal lesions, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the deposition of amyloid β-protein (Aβ). Results In vivo imaging showed that reporter fluorescence was detected in the brains of rats in both experimental and virus control groups. Fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that the expression level of the APP gene was significantly increased in the brains of rats in the experimental group (P<0.01). Novel object recognition test revealed that the recognition memory of rats in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared with that of the blank control group (P<0.01). Six months after recombinant AAV virus infection, HE staining and Nissl staining of brain tissues showed that the number of neurons and Nissl bodies in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in the experimental group was reduced and disorganized; immuno-histochemistry testing of the CA1 region of the hippocampus and the pyramidal cell layer of the experimental group revealed prominent brown deposits, indicating Aβ protein deposition. Conclusion The rat model successfully established by stereotaxic injection and AAV-mediated delivery of human triple mutant APP gene exhibits typical AD features, providing a valuable animal model for studying AD pathology and developing drug therapies targeting Aβ protein deposition.

Objective:To study the overall training effect of segmented training model on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques for anesthesiology residents and the influence of key technique training order on the training effect.Methods:Different fiberoptic bronchoscopy simulators were used for specialized training in different key techniques of fiberoptic operation. To examine the effect of key technique learning order on the teaching effect, 40 anesthesiology residents who participated in fiberscope simulation training at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between November 2022 and March 2023 were selected for this study. They were randomly divided into two groups (Group S and Group M) using a numerical table method. The teaching was completed using two orders of key techniques. The operation time, operation quality score, and theoretical knowledge mastery score of the two groups were recorded to compare the effect of key technique learning order on the mastery of fiberoptic skills. SPSS 29.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Measurement data that conformed to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test or Fisher's exact test were used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data. Results:After segmented training in each key technique, both groups of trainees were able to shorten the operation time of the corresponding key technique [SM simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (49.80±4.46) s in group S, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (82.30±11.60) s vs. (57.10±6.77) s in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator operation time (83.10±10.62) s vs. (52.10±5.20) s in group M, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (55.40±5.91) s in group M, P<0.01)]. Moreover, both groups showed a reduced number of wall touches [SM simulator wall touches (3.35±0.93) times vs. (0.65±0.49) times in group S, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (2.50±1.05) times vs. (0.70±0.80) times in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator wall touches (1.55±1.15) times vs. (0.40±0.50) times in group M, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (5.90±1.29) times vs. (1.10±0.79) times in group M, P<0.01]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the performance score of fiberoptic-guided tracheal intubation after training [(92.50±5.97) points vs. (91.75±5.45) points] and in the lung segment localization time [(23.15±4.39) s, (21.40±4.84) s, (22.85±4.42) s vs. (22.75±5.11) s, (21.00±5.40) s, (21.50±5.10) s]. Conclusions:Segmented training on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques is an effective model of fiberscope training for anesthesiology residents, and the order of training key techniques does not affect the effectiveness of training.

Objective To establish a method for the determination of contents of sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfate in phentolamine mesylate injection.Methods The ion chromatography method with a DionexIonPac AS11-HC(250 mm×4.0 mm,5 pm)column was used,with potassium hydroxide solution as eluent,gradient elution,flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection volume was 25 μL.Results Sodium metabisulfite showed good linearity(r=0.999 3)in the range of 10.596-211.920 μg/mL,and its average recovery rate was 100.00％,with an RSD of 1.4％(n=9).Sodium sulfate showed good linearity(r=0.999 8)in the range of 1.027-20.540 μg/mL,and its average recovery rate was 99.96％,with an RSD of 1.8％(n=9).Conclusion The established method is simple,accurate,sensitive and suitable for the determination of sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfate contents in phentolamine methylate injection.

Objective To compare the effects of different dose prediction models of sufentanil in elderly hip arthroplasty with ultrasound-guided bow tie fascia iliac block.Methods A total of 90 elderly patients who underwent ultrasound-guided bow tie fascia iliac during hip arthroplasty in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2022 were selected.The dose of sufentanil was determined by a linear regression(ALR),multiple linear regression(MLR)or deep belief networks(DBN).Patients were randomly divided into the ALR group,the MLR group and the DBN group,with 30 cases in each group.The analgesic effect,hemodynamic index,inflammatory factor level and surgical index were compared among all groups.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the incidence of hip infection 2 weeks after surgery in each group.Results There was no significant difference in the gender,age,body weight,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification or complications among all groups(P>0.05).The Harris score 24 hours after surgery and duration of sensory block in the DBN group were higher/longer than those in the ALR group,numerical rating scale(NRS)score 24 hours after surgery,mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)at the beginning of surgery and 30 minutes after surgery,levels of interleukin-17(IL-17)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)24 hours after surgery,onset time of sensory block,and number of patient controlled analgesia(PCA)compression were lower/earlier/less than those in the ALR group,the modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation scale(OAA/S)score 24 hours after surgery was significantly lower than those in the ALR group and the MLR group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Harris score 24 hours after surgery and duration of sensory block in the MLR group were higher/longer than those in the ALR group,modified OAA/S score 12 hours after surgery,MAP 30 minutes after surgery,levels of IL-17 and TNF-α 24 hours after surgery,onset time of sensory block,and the number of PCA compressions were lower/longer/less than those in the ALR group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that there were significant differences in the incidences of hip infection 2 weeks after surgery among all groups(P<0.05),and there were significant differences in the incidences of hip infection 2 weeks after surgery between the ALR group and the DBN group(P<0.05).Conclusion The effectiveness of calculating the dose of sufentanil using the MLR and DBN in elderly hip arthroplasty with bow tie fascia iliac block is better than that of ALR,and the advantage of DBN is more obvious.

Objective:To evaluate the incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and to identify the risk factors of malnutrition.Methods:A total of 305 inpatients with liver cirrhosis were included from the Department of Gastroenterology of the People's Hospital of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture between January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023. The patient characteristics, clinical indicators, complications, unplanned readmission within 90 days and death outcomes were collected. Malnutrition was diagnosed according to the GLIM criteria, the differences in various indicators were compared between the malnutrition group and the well-nourished group, and the influencing factors of malnutrition were analyzed. The relationship between malnutrition and short-term prognosis was also discussed.Results:Among the enrolled patients, 188 (61.6%) were diagnosed with malnutrition per GLIM criteria, of whom 18 were with Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) Grade A liver function, 108 Grade B, and 62 Grade C. Compared with the well-nourished group, the malnutrition group showed prolonged length of hospital stay ( P<0.001), lower body mass index P=0.003), lower levels of red blood cell count, hemoglobin, serum albumin, serum albumin/globulin ratio, and serum calcium ( P<0.001), higher level of aspartate aminotransferase ( P=0.025), and increased levels of C-reactive protein, total bilirubin, international normalized ratio, plasma prothrombin time and model for end-stage liver disease score ( P<0.001). The proportion of patients with ascites, esophageal gastric varices, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy and unplanned readmission within 90 days were significantly increased ( P<0.001) in malnutrition group, and the mortality within 90 days was also higher ( P=0.042). Logistic regression analysis identified lower body mass index level ( OR=0.910, P=0.038), ascites ( OR=0.065, P<0.001) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding ( OR=0.184, P=0.001) as the influencing factors of malnutrition in liver cirrhosis patients. Conclusions:The prevalent malnutrition in patients with liver cirrhosis may affect the short-term prognosis. Lower body mass index, ascites and upper gastrointestinal bleeding are influencing factors for malnutrition in liver cirrhosis patients. Therefore, patients with liver cirrhosis should be screened for malnutrition to allow timely nutritional intervention measures.
