ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the potential mechanism of the Xiezhuo Jiedu formula in regulating pyroptosis for the treatment of ulcerative colitis （UC） using bioinformatics and in vivo animal experiments. MethodsDifferentially expressed genes （DEGs） in colon tissues of UC patients were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database. Pyroptosis-related genes were obtained from the GEO and GeneCards databases. The intersection of these datasets yielded pyroptosis-related DEGs （Pyro-DEGs）. Pyro-DEGs were subjected to Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis using the Metascape database. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was constructed using the STRING database. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （LASSO） prediction model and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） analysis were conducted to identify core Pyro-DEGs with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Immune infiltration analysis of the UC datasets was performed using the deconvolution method （CIBERSORT）， along with correlation analysis with core Pyro-DEGs. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a control group， a model group， high-， medium-， and low-dose groups of Xiezhuo Jiedu formula （26.64， 13.32， 6.66 g·kg^-1）， and a mesalazine group （0.27 g·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. UC was established by intrarectal administration of 3，5-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid （TNBS） dissolved in ethanol. The control and model groups were given distilled water by gavage， while the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs for 7 consecutive days. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the colon histopathology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， IL-18， and transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） and Western blot were applied to detect the expression of Caspase-1， gap junction alpha-1 protein （GJA1）， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma （PPARG）， and S100 calcium-binding protein A8 （S100A8）. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was utilized to measure mRNA expression of Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8. Western blot was performed to assess protein expression levels of Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8. ResultsGEO datasets GSE87466 and GSE87473 yielded 64 Pyro-DEGs. KEGG analysis indicated that these genes were enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway， tumor necrosis factor （TNF） signaling pathway， and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 （HIF-1） signaling pathway. Four core Pyro-DEGs （Caspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8） were identified. Immune infiltration analysis showed that expression of these genes was positively correlated with mast cells， neutrophils， M0 macrophages， M1 macrophages， and dendritic cells. Animal experimental results indicated that compared with the control group， the model group had significantly increased levels of IL-1β and IL-18， significantly decreased levels of IL-10 and TGF-β. The model group showed enhanced Caspase-1， GJA1， and S100A8 staining， and significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of Caspase-1， GJA1， and S100A8 （P<0.01）. In contrast， the expression of PPARG was reduced in the model group （P<0.01）. After treatment， all dosage groups showed varying degrees of improvement （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the high-dose group showing the most significant improvement （P<0.01）. ConclusionCaspase-1， GJA1， PPARG， and S100A8 are core Pyro-DEGs closely associated with the pathogenesis of UC. These genes may collaborate with immune cells such as mast cells， neutrophils， and M0 macrophages to mediate disease development. The Xiezhuo Jiedu formula may regulate the expression of core Pyro-DEGs through the NOD-like receptor， TNF， and HIF-1 core signaling pathways， thereby modulating immune homeostasis in UC rats and effectively alleviating UC.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP） infection， develop a nomogram prediction model and validate it. METHODS Clinical data of hospitalized patients infected with CRKP between April 2020 and May 2023 at Kunming First People’s Hospital were retrospectively collected and matched 1∶1 with patients infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae （CSKP） during the same period as the modeling group. Using the same criteria， data from patients hospitalized and infected with CRKP and matched CSKP between June 2023 and June 2024 were collected as the validation group. Univariate analysis， LASSO regression and multivariate Logistic regression were conducted to identify independent risk factors for CRKP infection and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Internal validation of the model was performed using Bootstrap resampling， and external validation was carried out using the data of validation group. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves and calibration plots. RESULTS A total of 530 patients were enrolled， with 372 in the modeling group and 158 in the validation group. Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agents were identified as independent risk factors for CRKP infection （P＜0.05）. The nomogram predicting CRKP infection risk achieved an area under ROC of 0.729 and 0.803 in internal and external validations， respectively. Calibration curves indicated a high degree of consistency between predicted and observed probabilities. CONCLUSIONS Cerebrovascular disease， indwelling gastric tube， mechanical ventilation， exposure to carbapenem antibiotics， and exposure to β-lactamase inhibitor compound agent are independent risk factors for CRKP infection. The developed nomogram model for predicting CRKP infection risk demonstrates good predictive performance and can aid in the early identification of patients at high risk for CRKP infection.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

ObjectiveKey microRNAs （miRNAs） of colorectal adenoma （CRA） were identified and analyzed by bioinformatics methods， and differentially expressed genes （DEGs） were screened to construct regulatory relationships. The mechanism of Xiezhuo Jiedu recipe in preventing CRA was speculated and verified by animal experiments. MethodThe miRNAs dataset GSE50194 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database of intestinal mucosal tissue of CRA patients， and the differentially expressed miRNAs were screened by GEO2R and Excel. TargetScan， miRTarbase， and miRDB databases were used to predict the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs， and an intersection was obtained. Key DEGs were screened through the STRING database and Cytoscape software， and the TRRUST database was used to predict downstream binding transcription factors （TFs）. The mRNA intersection was enriched by gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） in the Metascape database. DIANA TOOLS were applied to perform KEGG enrichment analysis of key miRNAs， and the key signaling pathways were selected for animal experiments. In animal experiments， the CRA mice model was established by using sodium glycan sulfate （DSS） drinking combined with intraperitoneal injection of azomethane oxide （AOM）， and Xiezhuo Jiedu recipe and aspirin were given by intragastric administration at the same time. The experiment lasted for nine weeks. The pathological changes in intestinal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of miR-34a-5p in adenoma tissue. Protein expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， protein kinase B （Akt）， phosphoryl-PI3K （p-PI3K）， phosphoryl-Akt （p-Akt）， and B cell lymphoma （Bcl）-2 were detected by Western blot. The expression of Cyclin D1 （CCND1） was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. In situ terminal transferase labeling （TUNEL） was used to detect apoptosis of adenoma tissue cells. ResultThe GEO database screened the GSE50194 dataset， and miR-34a-5p was selected as the research object from CRA and normal tissue. A total of 93 DEGs were selected. Among them， GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were closely related to biological processes such as transcriptional regulatory complex， RNA polymerase Ⅱ transcriptional regulatory complex， enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway， and DNA-binding transcriptional activator activity， cancer pathway， PI3K/Akt pathway， etc. miR-34a-5p is mainly enriched in PI3K/Akt， cell cycle， and colorectal cancer pathways. Five key DEGs were screened out through the Matescape database， among which Bcl-2 and CCND1 were the key DEGs of miR-34a-5p. Further screening of the TFs of key DEGs revealed that E2F transcription factor 1 （E2F1） and tumor protein P53 （TP53） were the main TFs of Bcl-2 and CCND1. Animal experiments showed that Xiezhuo Jiedu recipe could effectively up-regulate mRNA level of miR-34a-5p， down-regulate the expression of PI3K， Akt， Bcl-2， p-PI3K， and p-Akt proteins in the intestinal tissue of CRA mice， down-regulate the positive expression rate of CCND1， and increase the apoptosis rate of intestinal epithelial cells. ConclusionIt is speculated that Xiezhuo Jiedu recipe may inhibit the abnormal proliferation and promote the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in CRA mice by regulating the miR-34a-5p/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thus playing a role in the prevention of CRA.

Purpose To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of A-485 on renal tubular injury in diabetic mice.Methods Eighteen male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups:Control group,diabetic kidney dis-ease(DKD)group and A-485 treatment group.The DKD mice model was established by feeding high-fat diet for 8 weeks and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin for 5 days.Subsequent-ly,the A-485 treatment group was given A-485(10 mg/kg/day)by intraperitoneal injection every other day for 4 weeks.After treatment,the renal function,P300 enzyme activity and lipid deposition in renal tissue were measured.Western blot a-nalysis was performed to detect SREBP-1,FASN,ACC,ChREBP,P300,CBP,H3K18ac and H3K27ac protein levels.Results Compared with control mice,the levels of FBG,BUN,Scr and UAE were significantly increased in diabetic mice(FBG:2.52 times,BUN:2.89 times,Scr:2.13 times,UAE:4.21 times),while diabetic mice treatment with A-485 exhibi-ted a remarkable decrease on BUN,Scr and UAE(BUN:0.511 times,Scr:0.636 times,UAE:0.574 times,P＜0.01).The results of the transmission electron microscopy and oil red O stai-ning showed that A-485 treatment prevents lipid droplets forma-tion and up-regulation of SREBP-1,FASN,ACC and ChREBP in renal tubular cells of diabetic mice(SREBP-1:0.544 times,FASN:0.449 times,ACC:0.306 times,ChREBP:0.317 times,P＜0.01).Furthermore,A-485 intervention downregu-lated the enzyme activity of P300(0.546 times)and suppressed the expression of H3K18ac(0.337 times)and H3K27ac(0.308 times,P＜0.01).Conclusion A-485 can significant-ly improve renal lipid metabolic disorder in diabetic mice,which may be achieved by inhibiting p300-induced H3K18ac and H3K27ac.

Interventional embolization therapy is widely used for procedures such as targeted tumour therapy, anti-organ hyperactivity and haemostasis. During embolic agent injection, doctors need to work under X-ray irradiation environment. Moreover, embolic agent injection is largely dependent on doctors' experience and feelings, and over-injection of embolic agent can lead to reflux, causing ectopic embolism and serious complications. As an effective way to reduce radiation exposure and improve the success rate of interventional embolization therapy, embolic agent injection robot is highly anticipated, but how to decide the injection flow velocity of embolic agent is a problem that remains to be solved. On the basis of fluid dynamics simulation and experiment, we established an arterial pressure-injection flow velocity boundary curve model that can avoid reflux, which provides a design basis for the control of embolic agent injection system. An in vitro experimental platform for injection system was built and validation experiments were conducted. The results showed that the embolic agent injection flow speed curve designed under the guidance of the critical flow speed curve model of reflux could effectively avoid the embolic agent reflux and shorten the embolic agent injection time. Exceeding the flow speed limit of the model would lead to the risk of embolization of normal blood vessels. This paper confirms the validity of designing the embolic agent injection flow speed based on the critical flow speed curve model of reflux, which can achieve rapid injection of embolic agent while avoiding reflux, and provide a basis for the design of the embolic agent injection robot.

Objective:To study the correction factor of the chamber wall of the reference air kerma rate reference ionization chamber (NIM-Ir-SG-100 type) for 192Ir radioactive source. Methods:The photon spectrum and ionization chamber wall correction factor of the radioactive source housing and irradiator model are calculated by Monte Carlo code. And then the photon energy, wall thickness and ionization chamber diameter, which affect the result of the chamber wall correction factor, are simulated.Results:After calculation, the simulation result of the correction factor of spherical graphite cavity ionization chamber wall was 1.037 7. Controlling a single variable, photon energy (0.3-1.3 MeV), wall thickness (0.2-0.5 cm), inner diameter (0.5 -15 cm), the maximum deviations of wall correction result were 1.62%, 3.30% and 2.86%, respectively.Conclusions:The self-made spherical graphite cavity ionization chamber has good performance, and the corrected kwall value of the chamber wall is within a reasonable range. The completion of the chamber wall correction factor is an important step to measure the reference air kerma rate of the 192Ir radioactive source and establish the measurement benchmark.

Objective To investigate the effect of antisense oligonucleotides of miRNA-34a on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its molecular mechanism.Methods The expression of miRNA34a in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line HCC827 and human normal lung cell MRC-5 was detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).HCC827 cells were divided into three groups:blank control group,negative control group,anti-sense oligonucleotide group (liposome 2000 transfected anti-sense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a);cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect cell proliferation,Jimsa staining was used to detect cell cloning ability,Transwell test was used to detect cell migration and invasion ability;RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN),phosphorylation-protein kinase B (p-Akt),phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)mRNA and protein expression.Results The relative expression of miRNA34a in HCC827 cells was significantly higher than that in human normal lung cells (P ＜ 0.01).The relative expression of miRNA34a in antisense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a group was significantly lower than that of negative control group and blank control group (P ＜ 0.05),and there was no significant difference between negative control group and blank control group (P ＞ 0.05).At 48 h,72 h and 96 h,the proliferation level of HCC827 cells in antisense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a group was significantly lower than that in negative control group and blank control group (P ＜ 0.05).The cell cloning rate of antisense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a group was significantly lower than that of negative control group and blank control group (P ＜ 0.01).The number of migration and invasion of HCC827 cells in antisense oligonucleotide RNA-34a group was significantly lower than that in negative control group and blank control group (P ＜0.01).The relative expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in antisense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a group was significantly higher than that in negative control group and blank control group (P ＜ 0.05);the relative expression of p-Akt,PI3K mRNA and protein in antisense oligonucleotide miRNA-34a group were significantly lower than that in negative control group and blank control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The expression level of miRNA-34a in human nonsmall cell lung cancer cells is significantly higher than that in human normal lung cells.Antisense oligonucleotides of miRNA-34a can inhibit the proliferation,cloning,migration and invasion of human non-small cell lung cancer cells.The mechanism may be related to the negative regulation of PTEN/p-Akt/PI3K signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effects of nursing based on health belief model on respiratory function exercise compliance and respiratory function among lung cancer patients.Methods:From September 2017 to August 2018, we selected 84 lung cancer patients planed surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were divided into two groups according to admission time, 40 cases in control group (from September 2017 to February 2018) and 44 in experimental group (from March to August 2018) . Control group carried out routine nursing and health education. On the basis of that, experimental group implemented nursing care based on health belief model. Respiratory function of patients between two groups after surgery was compared with the percentage of predicted value of forced expiratory volume in one second shared by forced vital capacity (FEV1%) and percentage of predicted value of forced vital capacity (FVC%) ; respiratory function exercise compliance after surgery was compared with the Breathing Exercise Compliance Questionnaire.Results:One week after surgery, the scores of respiratory function exercise compliance of patients in experimental group and control group were (42.1±8.4) and (36.8±10.2) with a statistical difference ( t=-2.609, P<0.05) ; the FEV1% and FVC% of patients in experimental group were (63.8±12.1) and (57.5±11.3) , higher than those in control group with statistical differences ( t=-2.167, -2.617; P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing based on health belief model can improve respiratory function exercise compliance and respiratory function among lung cancer patients, which is worthy of clinical popularization.
