ObjectiveBased on the theory of "gut-prostate" axis， this study explored the effects and mechanisms of Zishen Tongguan formula and Cinnamomi Cortex in the formula in treating rats with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis（CNP） by detecting the levels of inflammatory factors， and the composition and structure of intestinal flora in CNP rats. MethodsEight out of 42 SD rats were randomly selected as the normal group， and the remaining rats were injected with carrageenan to prepare the CNP model. After successful modeling， 32 rats were randomly divided into the model group， Ningmitai capsule group（0.50 g·kg^-1）， Zishen Tongguan formula group（2.00 g·kg^-1）， and the Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Anemarrhenae Rhizoma pair group（PCC-AR group， 2.00 g·kg^-1）， with 8 rats in each group. The administered groups were given the corresponding medicinal solution by gavage， and the normal and model groups were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of normal saline， once a day for 14 consecutive days. The prostate tissues of rats were collected and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining and Masson staining to observe the pathological changes of the tissues in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the levels of related inflammatory factors in rat serum， and 16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the abundance and diversity changes of gut microbiota before and after administration， and species difference analysis was performed. ResultsAll the administered groups could alleviate the inflammatory symptoms of CNP rats， increase the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factors and decrease the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors， with the most sIgnificant effect observed in the Zishen Tongguan formula group. Compared with the normal group， the expression levels of interleukin（IL）-8， hypersensitive C-reactive protein（hs-CRP）， immunoglobulin（Ig）M， secretory IgA （sIgA）， and inducible nitric oxide synthase（iNOS） were sIgnificantly increased in the model group（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the expression levels of the above inflammatory factors in all administered groups were significantly reduced（P<0.01）. When compared with the PCC-AR group， the Zishen Tongguan formula group showed a significant decrease in transforming growth factor（TGF）-β₁ expression level（P<0.05） and a significant increase in IgM expression level（P<0.01）. The results of gut microbiota analysis showed that， compared with the PCC-AR group， at the order level， the Zishen Tongguan formula group significantly reduced the relative abundance of conditional pathogens such as Bacteroidales， Acidaminococcales， Rhodospirillales， Clostridiales， and Elusimicrobiales（P<0.01）. And at the genus level， the Zishen Tongguan formula group significantly decreased the relative abundance of pathogenic microbiota such as Lachnospira and Bacteroides（P<0.01） and significantly increased the relative abundances of beneficial microbiota such as Ruminococcus and Lactobacillus（P<0.01）. ConclusionZishen Tongguan formula can reduce the level of harmful intestinal bacteria， increase the level of beneficial intestinal bacteria， down-regulate the expression of serum inflammatory factors， and the small amount of Cinnamomi Cortex in the formula may play a key role in the treatment of CNP with this formula.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients.Methods:The patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale ≥4) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia from 14 hospitals between July 6, 2021 and November 9, 2021 were included in this study. The patients were assigned to either experiment group or control group using a random number table method. Experiment group received oliceridine, while control group received morphine, and both groups were treated with a loading dose plus patient-controlled analgesia and supplemental doses for 24 h. The primary efficacy endpoint was the drug response rate within 24 h after giving the loading dose. Secondary efficacy endpoints included early (within 1 h after giving the loading dose) drug response rates and use of rescue medication. Safety endpoints encompassed the development of respiratory depression and other adverse reactions during treatment.Results:After randomization, both the full analysis set and safety analysis set comprised 180 cases, with 92 in experiment group and 88 in control group. The per-protocol set included 170 cases, with 86 in experiment group and 84 in control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in 24-h drug response rates, rescue analgesia rates, respiratory depression, and incidence of other adverse reactions ( P>0.05). The analysis of full analysis set showed that the experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-30 min after giving the loading dose compared to control group ( P<0.05). The per-protocol set analysis indicated that experiment group had a higher drug response rate at 5-15 min after giving the loading dose than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:When used for treatment of moderate to severe pain after surgery with general anesthesia in patients, oliceridine provides comparable analgesic efficacy to morphine, with a faster onset.

Objective We aimed to investigate the relationship between microscopic pattern of blood stasis and renal pathological grade and related physical and chemical indexes in children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura nephritis(HSPN).Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 800 HSPN children from the medical records of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine.Laboratory indicators(blood routine test,urine routine test,coagulation test,liver function)and renal pathological indicators of them were collected.According to the severity of renal pathological microscopic lesions,the microscopic pattern of blood stasis was divided into three types,including choroidal discord,dead blood coagulation and intracarenal disease accumulation.The classification of renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis and the correlation between laboratory indexes and renal pathological index were analyzed by Spearman grade correlation and binary Logistic regression analysis.Results(ⅰ)There was no statistical difference of the distribution of the renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis in the different traditional Chinese medicine patterns.(ⅱ)There were significant differences in the contents or the grade of albumin and fibrinogen in the HSPN children with different microscopic pattern of blood stasis(all P＜0.05).(ⅲ)The maximum area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve between fibrinogen and intracarenal disease accumulation was 0.594(95％CI from 0.540 to 0.633,P＜0.001);sensitivity was 0.447,specificity was 0.725;the best threshold on the ROC curve of 0.172 was 3.755 g/L.(ⅳ)There were positive correlations between the content of fibrinogen,ISKDC grade and Bohle A grade respectively with the scores of intracarenal disease accumulation type(r=0.176,r=0.315,r=0.656;all P＜0.001).(ⅴ)There were positive correlations between the content of fibrinogen,ISKDC grade and Bohle A grade respectively with the renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis(r=0.157,r=0.377,r=0.429;all P＜0.001).Conclusion The microscopic renal pattern of blood stasis can not only reflect the severity of renal blood stasis,but also reflect the severity and long-term prognosis of renal diseases.Albumin and urinary protein grade can reflect the early stage of the microscopic renal pattern of the blood stasis(choroidal discord).The content of fibrinogen increases with the aggravation of renal microscopic pattern of blood stasis,reflecting the end-stage of HSPN,which has the correlation with the formation and severity of related indexes.Fibrinogen can be used as a laboratory indicator to assist in the diagnosis of irreversible lesionsin the renal pathology of HSPN children.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of hyaluronic acid injection solution combined with hyaluronic acid injection filler in the rejuvenation of infraorbital region.Methods:From June 2019 to September 2021, there were 6 males and 66 females, aged from 18 to 42 years, with the average 32 years, received a combination of hyaluronic acid injection solution and hyaluronic acid injection filler to improve the deformity of the infraorbital depression in Beijing Rongyi Medical Aesthetic Clinic. According to the classification of suborbital depression, there were 42 cases of gradeⅠ, 23 cases of gradeⅡ and 7 cases of grade Ⅲ.

The satisfaction rate was 94.4% at 3 months and 75% at 6 months after treatment, and there were no complications such as embolism, hematoma and displacement. Conclusions:Combining hyaluronic acid injection solution with hyaluronic acid injection filler is satisfactory for the treatment of infraorbital depression malformation.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of digital reconstruction technology in virtual planning of the free perforator flap of anterior tibial artery (ATA) for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in foot and ankle.Methods:From May 2018 to April 2023, 10 patients, including 7 males and 3 females, with foot or ankle defects were admitted in the Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force. There were 5 defects in dorsal foot, 3 in plantar foot and 2 in medial malleolus. The sizes of defects ranged from 3.0 cm×2.5 cm to 5.5 cm×4.0 cm, all with exposed bones or tendons. Preoperative CTA scans from aorta abdominalis to feet were performed, and 3D digital models of bones, arteries and skin were reconstructed with Mimics. The most suitable perforators were selected to design the perforator flaps of ATA with the software, then the digital virtual flaps were superimposed onto the surfaces of donor sites and marked under a translucent image by Sina. During the surgery, flaps were harvested according to preoperative digital designs with the size of 3.5 cm×3.0 cm-6.0 cm×4.0 cm. The perforating branches were dissected along the way, and the origin, diameter, course, location and length of the perforators were recorded. The perforating branches of the flaps were anastomosed to the proximal vessels in the recipient sites, and the flaps were sutured to cover the wound. For the 10 donor sites, skin graft was used in 2 donor sites and direct suture were performed on 8 donor sites. After discharge of the patients, scheduled outpatient or online follow-ups were carried out to assess the progress of fracture healing as well as the appearance, texture and colour of flaps, and the recovery of donor sites. Ankle function was evaluated by Maryland foot scoring system.Results:Three-dimensional digital reconstructions of donor sites were successfully performed on all patients, enabling successful design and harvest of the free perforator flaps of ATA. The flaps were able to be used in complete reconstruction of the respective defects and made the anatomical parameters of perforators of the donor sites closely matching with those of preoperative modeling. Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 19 months, apart from 1 flap experienced partial necrosis at distal endge, and another flap with partial exfoliation after blistering. The rest of 8 flaps were all survived smoothly, with appropriate thickness, aesthetic appearance, good texture and colour. Sensations in both donor sites and dorsal feet were all normal. Seven patients achieved excellent and 3 were good according to Maryland's ankle-foot function score. The donor sites healed well without scar hyperplasia.Conclusion:Digital reconstruction technology enables an accurate identification of perforators as well as individualised design and harvest procedures for perforator flaps of ATA, thereby it facilitates precise reconstructions of small-to-medium-sized defects in foot or ankle. It is a good method for vascular anatomy and flap harvesting.

Objective:To establish a diagnostic decision tree model for parotid tumors closely related to clinical treatment decisions based on multiparametric MRI and to explore and validate its clinical value in parotid tumor diagnosis.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study that retrospectively collected MRI data from 461 patients with pathologically confirmed parotid tumors from June 2018 to December 2022 at the Ninth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, including 364 cases of benign tumors, 82 cases of malignant epithelial tumors, and 15 cases of lymphoma. Stratified random sampling was performed according to pathological results to divide the data into a training set (326 cases) and a validation set (135 cases). In the training set, there were 256 cases of benign tumors, 59 cases of malignant epithelial tumors, and 11 cases of lymphoma, while in the validation set, there were 108 cases of benign tumors, 23 cases of malignant epithelial tumors, and 4 cases of lymphoma. Based on MRI and clinical features, a decision tree model was established using the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) algorithm, and the model was used for classification diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracy for benign tumors, malignant epithelial tumors, and lymphoma was calculated, and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic performance for each tumor type individually.Results:In the training set, four optimal diagnostic indicators for tumors were obtained through the CHAID algorithm, including tumor capsule, shape, apparent diffusion coefficient value, and time-signal curve type. A decision tree model was established based on these indicators. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the model for benign tumors, malignant epithelial tumors, and lymphoma was 90.8% (296/326) in the training set and 94.1% (127/135) in the validation set. The area under the curve for independent diagnosis of benign tumors, malignant epithelial tumors, and lymphoma in the training set was 0.964, 0.957, and 0.980, respectively, while in the validation set, it was 0.958, 0.944, and 0.992, respectively.Conclusion:The decision tree predictive model based on multi-parameter MRI demonstrates high efficacy in diagnosing benign tumors, malignant epithelial tumors, and lymphoma of the parotid gland.
