Osteoporosis is a common senile bone metabolism disease, clinically characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of bone microstructure, increased bone fragility, and easy fracture. It tends to occur in the elderly and postmenopausal women, seriously threatening the quality of life and physical and mental health of the elderly. At present, the treatment of osteoporosis is mainly based on oral western medicines, such as calcium, Vitamin D, and bisphosphonates. Still, there are drawbacks such as a long medication cycle and many adverse reactions. In recent years, due to the advantages of multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target, some traditional Chinese medicines and effective ingredients can regulate the osteogenic and osteoclastic differentiation process in both directions and are widely used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Hippophae rhamnoides is a commonly used herbal medicine, and its fruits are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, vitamins, and trace elements, which have been proven to have a good anti-osteoporosis effect. Isorhamnetin is the main effective ingredient of Hippophae rhamnoides fruits, which has many pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, and anti-tumor. Studies have shown that isorhamnetin can participate in the regulation of bone metabolism and has a good anti-osteoporosis effect. However, the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis have not been systematically summarized. Therefore, this paper reviewed the pharmacological effects and related mechanisms of isorhamnetin against osteoporosis by referring to relevant literature to provide more basis for the development and application of isorhamnetin.

Objective:To construct and validate a predictive model for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery.Methods:This retrospective study included the medical records of 932 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2020 to February 2022. The patients were divided into a training group ( n=559) and a validation group ( n=373) at a 6∶4 ratio. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for PPCs, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve, and the clinical benefit was assessed using the clinical decision curve analysis. Results:The independent risk factors for PPCs included advanced age (>60 yr), smoking history, respiratory tract infection within 1 month, preoperative low SpO 2 (<96%), and prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay ( P<0.05), and the body mass index (18.5-<28.0 kg/m 2) was a protective factor. The nomogram prediction model developed based on the aforementioned 6 influencing factors had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval 0.76-0.86) in training group and 0.80 (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.86) in validation group. The calibration curve indicated a good consistency between the predicted and actual occurrence curves, and the clinical decision curve analysis showed good accuracy and net benefit of the prediction model. Conclusions:The predictive model for PPCs is successfully constructed based on age, low body mass index, smoking history, history of respiratory tract infection within 1 month, preoperative low SpO 2 and prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay and has good predictive performance in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery.

Objective:To investigate the host and vector composition of pestis and the epidemic situation of pestis among animals in the border port areas of Longchuan County, Yunnan Province.Methods:In September 2022, a survey was conducted on rodents and their surface parasitic fleas in the border port areas of Longchuan County, according to three habitat types: residential areas, agricultural areas, and forest-shrubbery areas. Samples of murine animals organs and their surface parasitic fleas were collected for isolation and identification of Yersinia pestis. Blood samples of plague indicating animals, such as murine animals, dogs and cats were collected, and serum plague F1 antibody was detected by indirect hemagglutination assay. Meanwhile, a retrospective investigation was conducted on the occurrence of self dead rats, sick rats, and suspected cases in the local area from 2018 to 2022 through interviews with farmers. Results:A total of 168 murine animals belonging to 3 orders, 5 families, 10 genera, and 11 species were captured in three habitats in Longchuan County. Among them, the capture rate in residential areas was 5.00% (30/600), with Rattus tanezumi and Suncus murinus as dominant species, with a composition ratio of 50.00% (15/30). The capture rate in agricultural areas was 9.67% (122/1 262), with Rattus tanezumi and Suncus murinus as dominant species, with a composition ratio of 50.82% (62/122) and 44.26% (54/122), respectively. The capture rate in the forest-shrubbery areas was 6.25% (16/256), with Hylomys suillus and Eothenomys eleusis as dominant species, with a composition ratio of 37.50% (6/16) and 31.25% (5/16), respectively. Among the captured murine animals, 20 individuals carried 52 parasitic fleas, belonging to 2 species of 2 genera and 2 families. The total flea infection rate was 11.90% (20/168), and the total flea index was 0.31 (52/168). The dominant specie was Xenopsylla cheopis (90.38%, 47/52). The flea infection rate in residential areas was 33.33% (10/30), and the flea index was 1.23 (37/30). The flea infection rate in agricultural areas was 7.38% (9/122), and the flea index was 0.11 (14/122). The flea infection rate in the forest-shrubbery areas was 6.25% (1/16), and the flea index was 0.06 (1/16). The samples of murine animals and their parasitic fleas obtained were isolated and cultured by Yersinia pestis, and the results were negative. A total of 144 serum samples from murine animals, dogs and cats were separated, and no F1 antibody against pestis was detected. According to interviews and investigations, no abnormal situations such as a large number of self dead rats, sick rats, and suspected cases were found from 2018 to 2022. Conclusions:No plague epidemic has been found in the border port areas of Longchuan County recently. The main host of plague, Rattus tanezumi, and the main vector, Xenopsylla cheopis, remain the dominant species in this area.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for ruptured saccular intracranial aneurysms in young adults.Methods:Young patients with saccular intracranial aneurysm admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kashgar Region from February 2017 to November 2022 were retrospectively included. The demographic and clinical data from patients were collected. Risk factors of ruptured intracranial aneurysm were determined by univariate and multivariate regression analysis.Results:A total of 151 young patients with saccular intracranial aneurysm were enrolled, including 94 in the ruptured group (62.2%) and 57 in the unruptured group (37.8%). There were 70 males (46.4%) and 81 females (53.6%), with a median age of 41 years (interquartile range, 36-42 years). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the proportion of male and triglycerides level between the ruptured group and the unruptured group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that males (odds ratio [ OR] 5.546, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.946-15.807; P=0.001), lower triglycerides ( OR 0.244, 95% CI 0.219-0.511; P<0.001), and aneurysms located in the anterior cerebral artery/anterior communicating artery ( OR 4.207, 95% CI 1.361-13.004; P=0.013) and middle cerebral artery ( OR 3.277, 95% CI 1.091-9.848; P=0.034) were the independent risk factors for intracranial aneurysm rupture. Conclusions:Male and lower triglycerides are the risk factors for ruptured saccular intracranial aneurysms in young adults. In addition, intracranial aneurysms located in the anterior cerebral artery/anterior communicating artery and middle cerebral artery are more prone to rupture.
