ObjectiveTo investigate the value of serum D-lactic acid,intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP),and E-selectin (Es) in early diagnosis of infection after gastrointestinal surgery and their relationship with curative effect and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes. MethodsForty-nine patients with abdominal infection after gastrointestinal surgery treated in Xianju County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2020 to August 2023 were selected as the infection group,and another 53 non-infected patients after gastrointestinal surgery were selected as the non-infected group. The serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es levels at the first,third,fifth, and seventh days after surgery were compared between the two groups,and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation of serum indexes. The receiver operating (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) of the patients were analyzed to analyze the value of each serum index in diagnosing infection after gastrointestinal surgery. At the same time,the serum indexes of patients with different therapeutic effects were monitored dynamically on the first,third,fifth, and seventh days of treatment. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between serum indexes and curative effect. The relationship between TCM syndromes and serum indexes was analyzed. ResultsThe levels of serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es in the two groups decreased on the first,third,fifth, and seventh days. There were significant differences among groups, time, and interaction (P<0.01). On the third day,serum D-lactic acid was positively correlated with I-FABP and Es,and I-FABP was positively correlated with Es (P<0.01). On the third day after surgery,the AUC of D-lactic acid + I-FABP + Es in the diagnosis of infection after gastrointestinal surgery was 0.861,higher than 0.727 of D-lactic acid,0.745 of I-FABP, and 0.797 of Es (P<0.05). The levels of serum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es in patients with remission infection were decreased continuously on the first,third,fifth,and seventh days. Patients with exacerbation of infection showed a continuous upward trend,and there were significant differences among groups, time, and interaction (P<0.01). The TCM syndromes of the patients were heat toxicity syndrome,acute deficiency syndrome,blood stasis syndrome, and fu-Qi obstruction syndrome,accounting for 61.22%,20.41%,12.24%, 6.12% respectively. There were no significant differences in different syndromes,time, and interaction. ConclusionSerum D-lactic acid,I-FABP,and Es can be used for early diagnosis of abdominal infection after gastrointestinal surgery,and the change of indicators can reflect the therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients with infection,but there is no significant correlation between the change of indicators and TCM syndromes.

Several types of arthritis share the common feature that the generation of inflammatory mediators leads to joint cartilage degradation. However, the shared mechanism is largely unknown. H2BK120ub1 was reportedly involved in various inflammatory diseases but its role in the shared mechanism in inflammatory joint conditions remains elusive. The present study demonstrated that levels of cartilage degradation, H2BK120ub1, and its regulator WW domain-containing adapter protein with coiled-coil (WAC) were increased in cartilage in human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients as well as in experimental RA and OA mice. By regulating H2BK120ub1 and H3K27me3, WAC regulated the secretion of inflammatory and cartilage-degrading factors. WAC influenced the level of H3K27me3 by regulating nuclear entry of the H3K27 demethylase KDM6B, and acted as a key factor of the crosstalk between H2BK120ub1 and H3K27me3. The cartilage-specific knockout of WAC demonstrated the ability to alleviate cartilage degradation in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and collagenase-induced osteoarthritis (CIOA) mice. Through molecular docking and dynamic simulation, doxercalciferol was found to inhibit WAC and the development of cartilage degradation in the CIA and CIOA models. Our study demonstrated that WAC is a key factor of cartilage degradation in arthritis, and targeting WAC by doxercalciferol could be a viable therapeutic strategy for treating cartilage destruction in several types of arthritis.

BackgroundPatients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are prone to experience depression, which has been shown to significantly affect patients' quality of recovery in postoperative period. Resourcefulness plays an important role between stress and depression, yet there is insufficient research evidence on the predictive effect of intellectual resourcefulness levels on depressive symptoms among patients undergoing PCI. ObjectiveTo investigate the cross-lagged effect between level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms among patients after PCI, so as to provide references for alleviating depressive symptoms in patients after PCI. MethodsA total of 363 patients who had undergone PCI in Tangshan Gongren Hospital from September to December 2019 were selected using random sampling technique. All participants were subjected to complete Chinese Resourcefulness Scale (CRS) and Chinese version of Cardiac Depression Scale (C-CDS) at both baseline and two years after PCI. A structural equation model was constructed to determine the cross-lagged effect between the level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms in patients. ResultsMale patients scored higher on CRS (t=-19.871, P<0.01) and lower on C-CDS (t=25.557, P<0.01) after two years of PCI compared with female patients after PCI. Correlation analysis indicated that the baseline CRS score was positively correlated with two years after PCI CRS score (r=0.550, P<0.01), C-CDS score of baseline was positively correlated with two years after PCI C-CDS score (r=0.524, P<0.01), baseline CRS score was negatively correlated with C-CDS scores at both baseline (r=-0.717, P<0.01) and two years after PCI (r=-0.472, P<0.01), and two years after PCI, CRS score was negatively correlation with C-CDS score (r=-0.618, P<0.01). The cross-lagged analysis revealed that baseline CRS score significantly predicted CRS score of two years after PCI (β=0.382, P<0.01) and C-CDS score of two years after PCI (β=-0.200, P<0.01). Baseline C-CDS score significantly predicted C-CDS score of two years after PCI (β=0.381, P<0.01) and CRS score of two years after PCI (β=-0.235, P<0.01). There was a reciprocal relationship between baseline CRS score and baseline C-CDS score (β=-0.717, P<0.01). ConclusionThe established cross-lagged model yields the presence of a reciprocal prediction of level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms measured in patients at two time points. The higher the baseline level of resourcefulness, the lighter the depressive symptoms experienced by patients two years after PCI surgery.The more severe the baseline depressive symptoms, the lower the patients' level of resourcefulness two years after PCI surgery.[Funded by Project of Hebei Provincial Department of Science and Technology (number, 182777154)]

In this study, a new in situ film of compound iodine oral spray was prepared by in situ gel technology, which was used to exert sustained-release effect for promoting the repair of oral ulcer wounds. Firstly, the formulation and process of the spray solution were optimized according to the spray state and film-forming time. The drug-liquid mixing ratio was evaluated by film-forming time and drug film adhesion. The drug content, stability, pH, and spraying effect of compound iodine oral spray prepared by the optimal formulation were investigated; and the physicochemical properties, including film formation time, solubility, hygroscopicity, moisture retention and in vitro release of drug film were evaluated. In addition, the biocompatibility of the film-forming materials and proliferation ability of drug film were investigated by cell experiment. Through the rabbit oral ulcer model, the in vivo film-forming and repair-promoting effects of compound iodine oral spray were evaluated. The results showed that the pH of liquid A and liquid B prepared were 6.21±0.02 and 6.42±0.03, respectively, which were in line with the normal pH range of oral mucosa; liquid A and liquid B had good stability and spray state; the iodine content in solution B was (1.96±0.01) mg/mL; the in situ membrane formation time in vitro and in the oral cavity were (118.3±3.6) s and (133.3±4.6) s, respectively; the 24-hour dissolution rate was (87.31±1.74)%, the moisture absorption rate was (124.17±7.13)%, and the moisture retention rate was (26.85±2.50)%; the iodine content in the oral spray was (47.42±0.39) mg/g, with good flexibility and adhesion, as well as some slow-release effect. In cell experiment, the film-forming materials showed good biocompatibility and growth promotion ability. The results of the rabbit oral ulcer experiment showed that the compound iodine oral spray could rapidly form a film in vivo and significantly promote the repair of oral ulcer. In conclusion, the compound iodine oral spray in situ film with a stable preparation process can effectively promote the repair of oral ulcer wounds, which provides a new idea for the research of novel oral mucosa formulations, with a good prospect of transfer.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of internal fixation and prosthesis revision in the treatment of periprosthesis fracture after total knee arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 35 patients (35 knees) with periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed from January 2008 to January 2022 in the Department of Orthopaedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, including 13 males and 22 females, aged 71.4±4.1 years (range, 62-81 years). Left knee 19 cases, right knee 16 cases. There were 20 cases of Rorabeck type II and 15 cases of Rorabeck type III. The initial replacement was performed using a fixed platform post-stabilized knee prosthesis, which was fixed with bone cement. Patients with Rorabeck type II were treated with internal fixation alone (internal fixation group) and patients with Rorabeck type III underwent revision with replacement prosthesis (revision group). The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, range of motion (ROM) of knee joint, alignment of lower extremity and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 5.2±3.6 years (range, 1-12 years). Intraoperative blood loss was 680±102 ml (range, 420-1100 ml). The operative time in the internal fixation group was 105±17 min, which was less than 140±21 min in the revision group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.450, P<0.001). There was no complication of nerve or blood vessel injury during the operation. Five cases in the internal fixation group had unsatisfactory lower extremity force lines (>3° deviation from normal) after surgery, and all lower extremity force lines in the revision group were satisfied, and the difference in the satisfaction rate of lower extremity force lines between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.057). The fracture healing time, knee ROM and HSS scores at the last follow-up were 5.1±1.3 months, 86°±5° and 84±5 in the internal fixation group and 4.8±1.5 months, 83°±6° and 82±4 in the revision group. One case in the revision group was diagnosed postoperatively with periprosthetic infection with pathogen culture suggestive of Candida albicans, recurrent anterior knee sinus tracts and patellar ectasia, which progressed to osteomyelitis, and mid-thigh amputation was performed 1 year after revision. Conclusion:The stability of prosthesis is an important reference for the treatment of periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty. Strong internal fixation in patients with unloosened prosthesis and revision with replacement of prosthesis in patients with loose prosthesis can achieve good knee joint function.
