This study aims to investigate the medication rules of patented traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)compound formulas and molecular mechanisms of core drugs for treating sepsis using data mining and network pharmacology approaches.In the present study,we first searched the PubMed database,Web of Science database,and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)since the establishment of the library to April 30,2024 for the relevant literature on the treatment of sepsis by traditional Chinese medicine.The prescriptions were then statistically ana-lyzed for drug frequency and association analysis to obtain the core drugs.Then we screened the ef-fective active ingredients of the core drugs by TCMSP and other database platforms,obtained sep-sis-related genes in GeneCards and other databases,and statistically intersected targets,and predic-ted the mechanism of action of the core TCMs by subjecting the intersected targets to PPI analy-sis,GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.Finally,the relationship between key tar-gets and herbal components was examined in reverse by molecular docking method.The results showed that 64 compound formulas were obtained,with a total of 150 Chinese medicines,which were mostly sweet in taste,cold in nature,and belonged to the spleen,stomach and intestinal me-ridians.According to the association rules,the core drugs were identified as"mirabilite-peach ker-nel-rheum officinale".There were 79 intersecting targets between the core drugs and sepsis,with core targets such as IL-1β,EGFR and SRC.MAPK,TNF,IL-17 and other signaling pathways are involved to mediate inflammatory responses,apoptosis and other biological processes to exert ther-apeutic effects on sepsis.The molecular docking results indicated that the docking activity of the key targets with the main components of the drug,and sennoside E_qt has the lowest binding ener-gy and the best docking activity with SRC.In conclusion,this study showed that the prescription of Chinese medicine for sepsis is mostly based on tonifying the spleen and clearing heat.The mecha-nism of action of the core drug"mirabilite-peach kernel-rheum officinale"in the treatment of sep-sis is multilevel and multifaceted,which provides a certain theoretical basis for the treatment of sepsis by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent spontaneous a-bortion(RSA),construct and validate the Nomogram risk prediction model.Methods A total of 219 patients with RSA admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from March 2021 to March 2024 were selected and divided into the poor preg-nancy outcome group(n=129)and the good pregnancy outcome group(n=90)according to the pregnancy outcome.The case data was collected.Results There were statistically significant differences in the leukocyte esterase(LE)positive/negative,hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)positive/negative,bacterial vaginosis(BV),and gestational week of delivery between two groups(P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LE positivity(OR=10.677),H2O2 negativity(OR=3.796),and BV infection(OR=4.827)were the risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in RSA patients,whereas an increase in the gestational week of deliv-ery(OR=0.294)was a protective factor.The area under the curve(AUC)of the Nomogram prediction model constructed based on this was 0.913.The validation results showed that the model had high discrimination,goodness of fit,calibration and net benefit for clinical decision-making.Conclusion Vaginal microecological imbalance and vaginal enzymatic alterations are correlate with adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with RSA.The Nomogram prediction model constructed on the basis of LE,H2O2,BV and gestational week of deliv-ery can conveniently and efficiently assess the probability of adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with RSA,and provide a basis for the early identification of high-risk patients and the prevention of the occurrence and development of RSA.

Objective:To combine and improve two kinds of classical transvaginal cervical cerclage,and to provide a new reference for the clinical treatment of patients with cervical insufficiency(CIC).Methods:Retro-spective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 117 patients who underwent transvaginal cervical cerclage due to CIC from January 1,2018 to August 31,2023 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical Univer-sity.According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into the modified cerclage group(40 ca-ses),the McDonald cerclage group(40 cases)and the Shirodkar cerclage group(37 cases).Intraoperative and postoperative conditions and pregnancy outcomes were compared.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors of preterm birth after modified cervical cerclage and the oth-er two groups of classical cervical cerclage.Results:①Compared with the McDonald cerclage group,the modified cerclage group had longer effective cervical length,longer delivery and gestational weeks,higher term delivery rate,and shorter post-operative contraction inhibitor time,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Compared with the Shirodkar cerclage group,the operation time of patients in the modified cerclage was significantly shortened,the amount of intraoperative blood loss was reduced,the use time of postoperative contraction inhibitors was shortened,and the rate of postoperative wire-cutting was decreased,with statistical significance(P<0.05).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis of preterm birth showed that the longer the length of the cervix and the later gestational age when the modified cervical cerclage was performed with reference to McDonald's cerclage,the longer the length of the cervix after surgery,the later the gestational age when the suture was removed.The risk of preterm birth was reduced(OR<1,P<0.05),while preoperative BMI≥24 kg/m2 was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth(OR>1,P<0.05).Using Shirodkar's cerclage as reference,the risk of preterm delivery was consistent between the two types of cervix(P>0.05).Longer cervical length and later gestational age after suture removal reduced the risk of preterm delivery(OR<1,P<0.05).Conclusions:The modified transvaginal cervical cerclage is simple and safe in clinical application,it has certain advantages in improving ad-verse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women,which provides a new reference for the treatment of pregnant women with CIC.Due to the small number of cases included in the study,comprehensive evaluation by clinicians is still needed for clinical application.
