ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application law and provide literature support and development ideas for the modern application of fresh Plantaginis Herba. MethodThe literature about the application of fresh Plantaginis Herba was retrieved from the fifth edition of Chinese medical dictionary, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang data, and Chinese medical journals and analyzed. ResultFresh Plantaginis Herba appeared frequently in ancient books, with the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, promoting urination, and relieving stranguria. It was used for the treatment of stranguria, urine retention, bloody urine, sore and carbuncle, epistaxis, red and swelling eye, suppurative inflammation in the throat, and gynecological and pediatric diseases. According to modern medical publications, fresh Plantaginis Herba is mainly used to treated diseases in the kidney, five sense organs, spleen, stomach, lung, liver, gallbladder, and skin and gynecological and pediatric diseases. Specifically, it is mainly used to treat the syndrome of dampness and heat in kidney and skin diseases caused by the accumulation of dampness and heat toxin, with the effects of clearing heat, removing toxin, promoting urination, and relieving stranguria. Since ancient times, there have been reports of using fresh Plantaginis Herbausing for food and health care. ConclusionFresh Plantaginis Herba is widely used in clinical practice and has a high medical value and economic value. However, its modern application lags behind, so it is necessary to promote the development of fresh Plantaginis Herba from the aspects of medicinal material production, storage, transportation, preparation research and development, and clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between cardiac polyps and gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV).Methods:The clinical, endoscopic and pathological data of 349 patients with cardiac polyps (the cardiac polyp group) visiting Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively collected, and the same number of non-cardiac polyp patients (the non-cardiac polyp group) were matched in the same period as control according to the propensity score. The clinical, endoscopic and pathological data of the two groups were compared.Results:After matching with propensity score, there were 296 patients in each group, with no significant differences in smoking, acid reflux, heartburn, Helicobacter pylori infection, bile reflux, reflux esophagitis or pancreatitis between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the non-cardiac polyp group, the risk of cardiac polyps increased in GEFV Ⅱ patients ( OR=3.046, 95%CI: 2.100-4.419, P<0.001) and GEFV Ⅲ patients ( OR=4.202, 95%CI: 2.299-7.681, P<0.001). Compared with the non-cardiac polyp group, the risk of cardiac polyps increased in patients with GEFV abnormalities ( OR=2.822, 95%CI: 1.615-4.931, P<0.001). GEFV abnormalities was associated with the cardiac polyp site ( χ2=22.169, P=0.003) and was not significantly associated with cardiac polyp size, number, morphology, intestinal metaplasia of the surrounding mucosa or intraepithelial neoplasia ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The occurrence of cardiac polyps is related to GEFV, and the patients with GEFV abnormalities are more likely to develop cardiac polyps.

ObjectiveTo provide a reference for the establishment of an ideal corneal neovascularization (CNV) animal model by summarizing the modeling characteristics of CNV animal models. MethodWith "CVN" as the theme word, this paper searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Chinese medical journals full-text database, and PubMed database and screened out relevant literature on CNV animal experiments from 2013 to 2023. The database was established by Excel 2021, and the experimental animal strain, gender, modeling method, detection index, and application category were sorted out. The characteristics of the CNV animal model were analyzed. ResultAfter comparative analysis, it was found that the animal strains were Sprague-Dawley rats (87 times, 29.49%) and New Zealand white rabbits (52 times, 17.63%). Male animals were recommended. Most modeling methods for efficacy verification and mechanism studies were the alkali burn method. Index detection methods included apparent index observation, histopathological detection, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot, and various polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. Detection indexes included apparent indication, corneal histopathology, CNV regulation, etc. ConclusionThe CNV model of SD rats induced by the alkali burn method is recommended for model replication, and the indexes are mainly selected from the growth of CNV, corneal histopathological test, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-related test. In addition, according to the demand, the corneal apparent indication and the basic indexes related to the regulation of CNV, such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and secretogranin Ⅲ (Scg3) are also selected. Clinical treatment of CNV relies on anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-VEGF drugs, and there is a lack of application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), so the model needs to be improved by adding elements of TCM syndromes.

Objective:To investigate the surgical situations and perioperative outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy in Jiangsu Province and the influencing factors for postoperative 90-day mortality.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 2 886 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in 21 large tertiary hospitals of Jiangsu Quality Control Center for Pancreatic Diseases, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from March 2021 to December 2022 were collected. There were 1 732 males and 1 154 females, aged 65(57,71)years. Under the framework of the Jiangsu Provincial Pancreatic Disease Quality Control Project, the Jiangsu Quality Control Center for Pancreatic Diseases adopted a multi-center registration research method to establish a provincial electronic database for pancrea-ticoduodenectomy. Observation indicators: (1) clinical characteristics; (2) intraoperative and post-operative conditions; (3) influencing factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(IQR), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or constituent ratio, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test, continuity correction chi-square test and Fisher exact probability. Maximal Youden index method was used to determine the cutoff value of continuous variables. Univariate analysis was performed using the corresponding statistical methods based on data types. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic multiple regression model. Results:(1) Clinical characteristics. Of the 2 886 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, there were 1 175 and 1 711 cases in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Of the 21 hospitals, 8 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of <36 cases for pancreaticoduodenectomy, 10 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of 36-119 cases, and 3 hospitals had an average annual surgical volume of ≥120 cases. There were 2 584 cases performed pancreaticoduodenectomy in thirteen hospitals with an average annual surgical volume of ≥36 cases, accounting for 89.536%(2 584/2 886)of the total cases. There were 1 357 cases performed pancrea-ticoduodenectomy in three hospitals with an average annual surgical volume of ≥120 cases, accounting for 47.020%(1 357/2 886) of the total cases. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. Of the 2 886 patients, the surgical approach was open surgery in 2 397 cases, minimally invasive surgery in 488 cases, and it is unknown in 1 case. The pylorus was preserved in 871 cases, not preserved in 1 952 cases, and it is unknown in 63 cases. Combined organ resection was performed in 305 cases (including vascular resection in 209 cases), not combined organ resection in 2 579 cases, and it is unknown in 2 cases. The operation time of 2 885 patients was 290(115)minutes, the volume of intra-operative blood loss of 2 882 patients was 240(250)mL, and the intraoperative blood transfusion rate of 2 880 patients was 27.153%(782/2 880). Of the 2 886 patients, the invasive treatment rate was 11.342%(327/2 883), the unplanned Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment rate was 3.087%(89/2 883), the reoperation rate was 1.590%(45/2 830), the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 17(11)days, the hospitalization mortality rate was 0.798%(23/2 882), and the failure rate of rescue data in 2 083 cases with severe complications was 6.529%(19/291). There were 2 477 patients receiving postoperative 90-day follow-up, with the 90-day mortality of 2.705%(67/2477). The total incidence rate of complication in 2 886 patients was 58.997%(1 423/2 412). The incidence rate of severe complication was 13.970%(291/2 083). The comprehensive complication index was 8.7(22.6) in 2 078 patients. (3) Influencing factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 70 years, postoperative invasive treatment, and unplanned ICU treatment were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( odds ratio=2.403, 2.609, 16.141, 95% confidence interval as 1.281-4.510, 1.298-5.244, 7.119-36.596, P<0.05). Average annual surgical volume ≥36 cases in the hospital was an independent protective factor for 90-day mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( odds ratio=0.368, 95% confidence interval as 0.168-0.808, P<0.05). Conclusions:Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Jiangsu Province is highly con-centrated in some hospitals, with a high incidence of postoperative complications, and the risk of postoperative 90-day mortality is significant higher than that of hospitallization mortality. Age ≥ 70 years, postoperative invasive treatment, and unplanned ICU treatment are independent risk factors for 90-day motality after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and average annual surgical volume ≥36 cases in the hospital is an independent protective factor.

Objective:To evaluate the protective effect of foam dressing in preventing intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI), and to provide reference basis for prevention and treatment of IAPI during clinical operation.Methods:The clinical data of 455 surgical patients admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from October 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. According to whether foam dressing was used at the compression site during operation, the patients were divided into dressing group (101 cases) and control group (354 cases). The two groups were matched with age, body mass index, preoperative Braden and cerebrovascular disease as covariates, and were finally divided into 89 patients in the dressing group and 162 patients in the control group. Logistic regression analysis and stratified analysis were used to comprehensively evaluate the actual effect of foam dressing on the occurrence of IAPI in the surgical patients.Results:Among the 251 patients, there were 14 (15.7%) cases with IAPI in the dressing group and 13 (8.0%) cases in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=3.41, P>0.05). Among the patients in the prone position, compared to the control group, the dressing group can effectively reduce the risk of IAPI in surgical patients by 77% ( OR=0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.98, P<0.05). There was no interaction between foam dressing and intraoperative surgical characteristics ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Foam dressing plays a protective role in preventing the occurrence of IAPI in patients undergoing surgery in the prone position. There was no significant protective effect of intraoperative foam dressing in patients with other surgical characteristics.

Glioblastoma(GBM)is a lethal cancer with limited therapeutic options.Dendritic cell(DC)-based cancer vaccines provide a promising approach for GBM treatment.Clinical studies suggest that other immu-notherapeutic agents may be combined with DC vaccines to further enhance antitumor activity.Here,we report a GBM case with combination immunotherapy consisting of DC vaccines,anti-programmed death-1(anti-PD-1)and poly I:C as well as the chemotherapeutic agent cyclophosphamide that was integrated with standard chemoradiation therapy,and the patient remained disease-free for 69 months.The patient received DC vaccines loaded with multiple forms of tumor antigens,including mRNA-tumor associated antigens(TAA),mRNA-neoantigens,and hypochlorous acid(HOCl)-oxidized tumor lysates.Furthermore,mRNA-TAAAs were modified with a novel TriVac technology that fuses TAAs with a destabilization domain and inserts TAAs into full-length lysosomal associated membrane protein-1 to enhance major histo-compatibility complex(MHC)class Ⅰ and Ⅱ antigen presentation.The treatment consisted of 42 DC cancer vaccine infusions,26 anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab administrations and 126 poly I:C injections for DC infusions.The patient also received 28 doses of cyclophosphamide for depletion of regulatory T cells.No immunotherapy-related adverse events were observed during the treatment.Robust antitumor CD4+and CD8+T-cell responses were detected.The patient remains free of disease progression.This is the first case report on the combination of the above three agents to treat glioblastoma patients.Our results suggest that integrated combination immunotherapy is safe and feasible for long-term treatment in this patient.A large-scale trial to validate these findings is warranted.
