OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of amoxicillin combined with proton pump inhibitor （PPI） or potassium-competitive acid blocker （P-CAB） for Helicobacter pylori （Hp） eradication. METHODS Randomized controlled trial （RCTs） on amoxicillin combined with PPI or P-CAB for Hp eradication were retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang， and VIP data. The search time frame was from database inception to September 5， 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， a network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs involving 5 515 patients were included， encompassing 8 therapeutic regimens： PPI combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR1）， PPI combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR2）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR3）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR4）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR5）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR6）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR7）， and P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR8）. The network meta-analysis results showed that， in terms of intention-to-treat Hp eradication rates， the eradication rates of TR5 and TR4 were significantly higher than those of TR3， TR8， TR6 and TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve （SUCRA） values from highest to lowest were： TR4 （89.7%）＞TR5 （82.3%）＞TR7 （71.5%）＞ TR2 （48.6%）＞TR1 （43.9%）＞TR8 （28.7%）＞TR3 （22.7%）＞TR6 （12.6%）. Regarding safety， the incidence of adverse reactions in TR3 and TR5 was significantly lower than that in TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The SUCRA values from highest to lowest were： TR1 （91.3%）＞TR4 （79.8%）＞TR5 （55.0%）＞TR7 （50.9%）＞TR8 （41.3%）＞TR2 （36.4%）＞TR3 （27.6%） ＞TR6 （17.7%）. CONCLUSIONS Although the regimen of P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days demonstrates the best efficacy， the combination of P-CAB with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days exhibits a better balanced profile in terms of both efficacy and safety.

BACKGROUND:Flap transplantation technique is a commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of severe tissue defects,but postoperative flap necrosis is easily triggered by ischemia-reperfusion injury.Therefore,it is still an important research topic to improve the survival rate of transplanted flaps. OBJECTIVE:To review the pathogenesis and latest treatment progress of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang Database and PubMed database were searched for relevant literature published from 2014 to 2024.The search terms used were"flap,ischemia-reperfusion injury,inflammatory response,oxidative stress,Ca2+overload,apoptosis,mesenchymal stem cells,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathways,shock wave,pretreatment"in Chinese and English.After elimination of irrelevant literature,poor quality and obsolete literature,77 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Flap ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to pathological factors such as inflammatory response,oxidative stress response,Ca2+overload,and apoptosis,which can cause apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells,vascular damage and microcirculation disorders in the flap,and eventually lead to flap necrosis.Studies have found that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathway modulators,shock waves,and pretreatment can alleviate flap ischemia/reperfusion injuries from different aspects and to varying degrees,and reduce the necrosis rate and necrosis area of the grafted flap.Although there are many therapeutic methods for skin flap ischemia/reperfusion injury,a unified and effective therapeutic method has not yet been developed in the clinic,and the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic methods have not yet been compared.Most of the studies remain in the stage of animal experiments,rarely involving clinical observations.Therefore,a lot of research is required in the future to gradually move from animal experiments to the clinic in order to better serve the clinic.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula on the neuroinflammation of rats with insomnia complicated with depression through the regulation of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)/complement protein C1q signaling pathway. Rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a positive drug group, as well as a high, medium, and low-dose groups of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the other groups were injected with p-chlorophenylalanine and exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress to establish the rat model of insomnia complicated with depression. The sucrose preference experiment, open field experiment, and water maze test were performed to evaluate the depression in rats. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to detect serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), dopamine(DA), and norepinephrine(NE) levels. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the damage in nucleus accumbens neurons. Western blot and immunofluorescence were performed to detect TREM2, C1q, postsynaptic density 95(PSD-95), and synaptophysin 1(SYN1) expressions in rat nucleus accumbens, respectively. Golgi-Cox staining was utilized to observe the synaptic spine density of nucleus accumbens neurons. The results show that, compared with the model group, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can significantly increase the sucrose preference as well as the distance and number of voluntary activities, shorten the immobility time in forced swimming test and the successful incubation period of positioning navigation, and prolong the stay time of space exploration in the target quadrant test. The serum 5-HT, DA, and NE contents in the model group are significantly lower than those in the normal group, with the above contents significantly increased after the intervention of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula. In addition, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can alleviate pathological damages such as swelling and loose arrangement of tissue cells in the nucleus accumbens, while increasing the Nissl body numbers. Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can improve synaptic damage in the nucleus accumbens and increase the synaptic spine density. Compared to the normal group, the expression of C1q protein was significantly higher in the model group, while the expression of TREM2 protein was significantly lower. Compared to the model group, the intervention with Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula significantly downregulated the expression of C1q protein and significantly upregulated the expression of TREM2. Compared with the model group, the PSD-95 and SYN1 fluorescence intensity is significantly increased in the groups receiving different doses of Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula. In summary, Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula can reduce the C1q protein expression, relieve the TREM2 inhibition, and promote the synapse-related proteins PSD-95 and SNY1 expression. Chaijin Jieyu Anshen Formula improves synaptic injury of the nucleus accumbens neurons, thereby treating insomnia complicated with depression.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the mediating role of sleep duration in the relationship between depression symptoms and myopia among middle school students. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional research conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method. A total of 1 728 middle school students were selected from two junior high schools and two senior high schools in certain urban areas and farms of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Questionnaire surveys and vision tests were conducted among the students. Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between depression symptoms, sleep duration, and myopia. The Bootstrap method was employed to investigate the mediating effect of sleep duration between depression symptoms and myopia. RESULTS: The prevalence of myopia in the overall population was 74.02% (1 279/1 728), with an average sleep duration of (7.6±1.0) hours. The rate of insufficient sleep was 83.62% (1 445/1 728), and the proportion of students exhibiting depression symptoms was 25.29% (437/1 728). Correlation analysis showed significant negative correlations between visual acuity in both eyes and sleep duration with depressive emotions as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (with correlation coefficients of -0.064, -0.084, and -0.199 respectively; P<0.01), as well as with somatic symptoms and activities (with correlation coefficients of -0.104, -0.124, and -0.233 respectively; P<0.01) and interpersonal relationships (with correlation coefficients of -0.052, -0.059, and -0.071 respectively; P<0.05). The correlation coefficients for left and right eye visual acuity and sleep duration were 0.206 and 0.211 respectively (P<0.001). Sleep duration exhibited a mediating effect between depression symptoms and myopia (indirect effect=0.056, 95%CI: 0.029-0.088), with the mediating effect value for females (indirect effect=0.066, 95%CI: 0.024-0.119) being higher than that for males (indirect effect=0.042, 95%CI: 0.011-0.081). CONCLUSIONS Sleep duration serves as a partial mediator between depression symptoms and myopia in middle school students.

The influenza A virus (IAV), renowned for its high contagiousness and potential to catalyze global pandemics, poses significant challenges due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Given the critical role of RNA polymerase in IAV replication, it stands out as a promising target for anti-IAV therapies. In this study, we identified a novel C-3-substituted oleanolic acid benzyl amide derivative, A5, as a potent inhibitor of the PA_C-PB1_N polymerase subunit interaction, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.96 ± 0.21 μmol/L. A5 specifically targets the highly conserved PA_C domain and demonstrates remarkable efficacy against both laboratory-adapted and clinically isolated IAV strains, including multidrug-resistant strains, with EC₅₀ values ranging from 0.60 to 1.83 μmol/L. Notably, when combined with oseltamivir, A5 exhibits synergistic effects both in vitro and in vivo. In a murine model, dose-dependent administration of A5 leads to a significant reduction in IAV titers, resulting in a high survival rate among treated mice. Additionally, A5 treatment inhibits virus-induced Toll-like receptor 4 activation, attenuates cytokine responses, and protects against IAV-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages. In summary, A5 emerges as a novel inhibitor with high efficiency and broad-spectrum anti-influenza activity.

Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of robotic-assisted left thoracic small-incision minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting(MIDCAB).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the procedures and treatment outcomes of robotic-assisted MIDCAB in the Army Medical Center of PLA from October 2016 to June 2023.Baseline clinical information,MIDCAB-related data,perioperative conditions and data during follow-up were collected and analyzed.Results There were 23 patients subjected,including 21 males and 2 females,with a mean age of 58.17±7.49 years,and a body mass index(BMI)of 23.99±3.25 kg/m2.All of them experienced angina pectoris,and 1 had a history of myocardial infarction,1 had dilated cardiomyopathy,2 patients had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),and 10 had a history of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Robotic-assisted MIDCAB procedure was successfully completed.No internal mammary artery injury or transformation of the procedure occurred in these cases,and excellent bridging vessel flow was achieved after anastomosis of the internal mammary artery to left anterior descending branch.The incision length in the left chest was 8(8,8)cm,the operation time was 380(300,465)min,the intraoperative bleeding volume was 300(100,400)mL,the length of ICU stay was 3(2,3)d,the amount of thoracic drainage was 780(525,1 040)mL,and the postoperative length from surgery to discharge was 11.17±2.38 d.No mortality was observed during or within 30 d of hospitalization,and 1 patient was readmitted due to pericardial effusion within 30 d,and was discharged after symptomatic treatment including pericardiocentesis and drainage.No deaths,major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE),or re-revascularization occurred in all patients during outpatient and telephone follow-up.Conclusion Robotic-assisted internal mammary artery dissection is a delicate and safe technique,and coronary artery bypass grafting in minimally invasive small-incision off-pump is effective,safe and feasible,with satisfactory short-and mid-term outcomes.The technique is suitable for minimally invasive coronary artery disease surgery and is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of serum circular RNA protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A2(circ_PTP4A2),circular RNA precocious dissociation of sisters 5 homolog B(circ_PDS5B)and the volume of cerebral infarction and the degree of neurological deficits in patients with acute is-chemic stroke(AIS).Methods Ninety patients with AIS who visited the hospital from January 2021 to De-cember 2023 were selected as the AIS group,and 90 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,the volume of cerebral infarction was measured by magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging,and the degree of neurological deficit was evaluated by the Na-tional Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score.According to the volume of cerebral infarction,they were divided into large-volume group(volume of cerebral infarction≥ 20 cm3,29 cases),medium-volume group(1 cm3＜volume of cerebral infarction＜20 cm3,34 cases),and small-volume group(volume of cerebral infarction≤ 1 cm3,27 cases),and according to the NIHSS scores,patients with AIS were classified into the se-vere group(NIHSS scores≥21 points,27 cases),the moderate group(NIHSS scores 5-20 points,32 cases)and the mild group(NIHSS score≤ 4 points,31 cases).Factors contributing to the increased volume of cere-bral infarction and the increased degree of neurological deficit in patients with AIS were analyzed by ordered multi-categorical Logistic regression.Results Compared with the control group,serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were elevated in the AIS group(P＜0.05).Serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were sequentially increased in the small-volume group,medium-volume group,and large-volume group(P＜0.05).Serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were sequentially increased in the mild group,moderate group,and severe group(P＜0.05).Ordered multi-categorical Logistic regression showed that high NIHSS score,high circ_PTP4A2,and high circ_PDS5B were independent risk factors for increased cerebral infarction volume in AIS patients(P＜0.05),and high cerebral infarction volume,high circ_PTP4A2,and high circ_PDS5B were independent risk factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The elevated levels of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B in AIS patients are related to the increase in cerebral infarction volume and the aggravation of neurological deficits.Early detection of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels is helpful for risk stratification in AIS patients.

Objective To investigate the rehabilitation efficacy of Beckman oral-motor training combined with auditory integration training(AIT)in children with language development delay.Methods A total of 118 children diagnosed with language development delay were enrolled in this study,and randomly assigned to auditory training group or combined training group,with 59 cases in each group.Children in the auditory training group received AIT,while those in the combined train-ing group underwent Beckman oral-motor training combined with AIT.The clinical efficacy,intellec-tual development,language ability,oral motor function,articulation ability,and serum neurotrophic factor levels of the two groups were observed and compared.Results After treatment,the overall ef-fective rate in the combined training group was 93.22％(55/59),which was significantly higher than 79.66％(47/59)in the auditory training group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Following treatment,the scores of intellectual development,language ability,oral motor function,and articulation ability,as well as the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nerve growth factor(NGF)in both groups were elevated compared to the pre-treatment levels.Moreover,these parameters in the combined training group were superior to those in the audi-tory training group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Beck-man oral-motor training combined with AIT can enhance the rehabilitation outcome in children with language development delay,improving their speech function,intellectual development,oral motor function,articulation ability,and serum neurotrophic factor levels.
