Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of total flavonoids of Dracocephalum moldavica(TFDM)on atherosclerosis in rats and the inflammation of mouse macrophage RAW264.7 aggravated by trimeth-ylamine N-oxide(TMAO)and its possible mecha-nism.Methods The AS model of SD rats was estab-lished by high-fat diet feeding combined with intraper-itoneal injection of vitamin D3.The rats were divided into control group,model group,simvastatin group(15 mg·kg-1)and TFDM group(60,30,15 mg·kg-1).Biochemical method was used to detect the levels of se-rum total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C).HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of aortic tissue.ELISA kit was used to detect the expression of TMAO,IL-1β,IL-6 in serum and TNF-α in liver tis-sue.Western blot was used to detect the expression of JAK,STAT and TNF-α protein in aorta.In addition,RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro,and LPS+TMAO was used to establish a macrophage in-flammation model,which was intervened by TFDM(100,50,25 mg·L-1).CCK-8 was used to determine cell viability and proliferation,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of TNF-α,IL-6,JAK and STAT mRNA in cells.Results TFDM could significantly down-regulate the levels of serum TC,TG,LDL-C,ser-um TMAO,IL-1β,IL-6 and liver TNF-α,reduce aortic plaque deposition,and down-regulate the protein ex-pression of TNF-α,JAK and STAT in aorta.In addi-tion,TFDM intervention can significantly down-regulate the expression of TNF-α,IL-6,JAK,STAT mRNA and the expression of JAK,STAT protein.Conclusion TFDM can reduce the content of TMAO in serum,in-hibit JAK/STAT inflammatory signaling pathway and slow down the occurrence of inflammation,playing an anti-AS role.

Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of different disinfection methods on ultrasound imaging and application firmness of ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture.Methods A total of 138 patients received ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the chlorhexidine alcohol group,the iodophor group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+ iodophor group,with 46 cases in each group.They were disinfected with chlorhexidine alcohol,iodophor,and chlorhexidine alcohol and iodophor,respectively.The disinfection effect,ultrasound imaging and application fixation of patients in the three groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the bacterial count or disinfection qualification rate of the puncture sites before and after disinfection of patients among the three groups(P>0.05).The ultrasound imaging clarity rate during puncture in the chlorhexidine alcohol group was significantly lower than those in the iodophor group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+iodophor group(P<0.05);while the rate of sticking up or shedding of application in the iodophor group 24 hours after puncture was significantly higher than those in the chlorhexidine alcohol group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+iodophor group(P<0.05).Conclusion Disinfecting the puncture area twice with chlorhexidine alcohol and then disinfecting the ultrasound exploration area once with iodophor can obtain satisfactory disinfection effect for patients undergoing ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture,with clearer ultrasound imaging and stronger adhesion of the application at the same time.

Osteoporosis is an important cause of internal fixation loosening after spinal surgery.Cement-augmented pedicle screw instru-mentation(CAPSI)technique is the most widely used technique in clinical practice to improve the stability of pedicle screw,mainly applied in osteoporosis and revision surgery,which included conventional solid pedicles crews and fenestrated/cannulated pedicle screws technique.CAPSI technique may cause cement leakage and pulmonary embolism,and there is no consensus on its indications or technical points.Therefore,this article reviews the research progress of CAPSI,in order to provide relevant reference for clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery embolization(UAE)combined with ultrasound-guided curettage in the treatment of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ caesarean scar pregnancy(CSP).Methods The clinical data of 90 patient with CSP in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively,the patients were divided into type Ⅱ group and type Ⅲ group according to preoperative vaginal color Doppler ultrasound.Patients in both groups were treated with UAE combined with ultrasound-guided curettage.The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The cure rate of type Ⅱ group(92.5%)was higher than that of type Ⅲ group(65.2%),the intraoperative blood loss,time of postoperative serum β-hCG turned negative,postoperative mass disappearance time of patients in type Ⅱ group were less/shorter than those in type Ⅲ group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);there was no statistical difference in length of hospitalization or time to menstruation recovery of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion UAE combined with ultrasound-guided curettage is ideal for patients with type Ⅱ CSP at 8 to 10 weeks of gestation,and can be used as a recommended treatment.However,the cure rate of this method for type Ⅲ CSP is low,the comprehensive choice should be considered,including the specific situation of the patient and the local medical level.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of the common pathogens isolated from urine from 2015 to 2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods The bacterial strains were isolated from urine and identified routinely in 51 hospitals across China in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Kirby-Bauer method,automatic microbiological analysis system and E-test according to the unified protocol.Results A total of 261 893 nonduplicate strains were isolated from urine specimen from 2015 to 2021,of which gram-positive bacteria accounted for 23.8％(62 219/261 893),and gram-negative bacteria 76.2％(199 674/261 893).The most common species were E.coli(46.7％),E.faecium(10.4％),K.pneumoniae(9.8％),E.faecalis(8.7％),P.mirabilis(3.5％),P.aeruginosa(3.4％),SS.agalactiae(2.6％),and E.cloacae(2.1％).The strains were more frequently isolated from inpatients versus outpatients and emergency patients,from females versus males,and from adults versus children.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae and P.mirabilis was 53.2％,52.8％and 37.0％,respectively.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii was 1.7％,18.5％,16.4％,and 40.3％,respectively.Lower than 10％of the E.faecalis isolates were resistant to ampicillin,nitrofurantoin,linezolid,vancomycin,teicoplanin and fosfomycin.More than 90％of the E.faecium isolates were ressitant to ampicillin,levofloxacin and erythromycin.The percentage of strains resistant to vancomycin,linezolid or teicoplanin was＜2％.The E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains isolated from ICU inpatients showed significantly higher resistance rates than the corresponding strains isolated from outpatients and non-ICU inpatients.Conclusions E.coli,Enterococcus and K.pneumoniae are the most common pathogens in urinary tract infection.The bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance of urinary isolates vary with different populations.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and reduce the irrational use of antimicrobial agents.
