Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of one-stage posterior lesion removal and internal spinal fixation in patients with lumbar Brucellosis spondylitis.Methods The clinical data of 24 patients admitted from October 2017 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,2 patients were lost to follow-up at 10 months after surgery,at the final 22 cases were included in the study,including 13 males and 9 females with an average age of(52.00±6.89)years old,were treated with one-stage posterior lesion removal and internal spinal fixation.The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,follow-up time,ery-throcyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C-reactive protein(CRP)before and after operation were recorded.The pain visual ana-logue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI),the Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score for neurofunction,American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)spinal cord injury grade and modified MacNab criteria were ussed to evaluate the efficacy.Results All patients were followed up from 12 to 30 months with an average of(17.41±4.45)months.The operation time was 70 to 155 min with an average of(1 16.59±24.32)min;the intraoperative bleeding volume was 120 to 520 ml with an average of(275.00±97.53)ml.CRP and ESR levels decreased more significantly at 1 week and at the final follow-up than pre-operative levels(P＜0.05).VAS,JOA score and ODI at 1 week and at the latest follow-up were more significantly improved than preoperative results(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between ASIA preoperative and 1 week after operation(P＞0.05),and a significant difference between preoperative and last follow-up(P＜0.05).In the final follow-up,21 patients had ex-cellent efficacy,1 patient had fair,and there was no recurrence during the follow-up.Conclusion One-stage transpedicular le-sion removal and internal spinal fixation,with few incisions and short operation time,helps the recovery of neurological func-tion,and the prognosis meets the clinical requirements,which can effectively control Brucella spondylitis.

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy,safety,and economy of camrelizumab(CAM)combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy(CT)for the first-line treatment of locally advanced/meta-static non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).METH-ODS:Chinese and English databases such as Pubmed,the Cochrane Library,China Knowledge Network,Wanfang Data,and other related web-sites were systematically searched.After literature screening,quality assessment,and data extraction of the literature according to the inclusion and ex-clusion criteria,two researchers conducted a rapid health technology assessment(HTA).RESULTS:A total of 7 systematic evaluations/Meta-analyses and 17 economics evaluations were included.In terms of effectiveness,compared to docetaxel che-motherapy,CAM+CT significantly prolonged the overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and improved the objective remission rate(ORR)of mutation-negative patients with locally ad-vanced/metastatic NSCLC.Compared with CT and pembrolizumab(PEM),CAM+CT significantly pro-longed the PFS,and improved the ORR of mutation-negative patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC.Subgroup analysis showed that CAM+CT significantly prolonged PFS in patients with PD-L1 ≥1％and PD-L1 ≥ 50％compared with CT.Compared with CT,CAM+CT significantly prolonged the OS and PFS of mutation-negative patients with locally advanced/metastatic squamous NSCLC.Compared with sintilimab(SIN),CAM+CT significantly pro-longed the PFS of mutation-negative patients with locally advanced/metastatic squamous NSCLC.Sub-group analysis showed that CAM+CT significantly prolonged OS in patients with PD-L1＜1％com-pared with CT.In terms of safety,CAM+CT was comparable in terms of the occurrence of all grades of adverse events,but the incidence of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events was significantly increased compared with CT and PEM for mutation-negative locally advanced/meta-static NSCLC patients.CAM+CT was significantly in-creased the occurrence of all grades of adverse events compared with CT,but was comparable in terms of the occurrence of grade 3 or higher treat-ment-related adverse events.In terms of economy,CAM+CT has a cost-effectiveness advantage over CT for patients with mutation-negative advanced/metastatic squamous NSCLC.CAM+CT has a cost-effectiveness advantage over CT and PEM+CT;and CAM+CT does not have a cost-effectiveness ad-vantage over SIN+CT for patients with mutation-negative locally advanced/metastatic non-squa-mous NSCLC.CONCLUSION:CAM+CT has good ef-ficacy and cost-effectiveness for the first-line treat-ment of locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC,and the safety aspect is compared with CT,PEM or slightly worse.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of integrated management during the perinatal period for fetuses diagnosed with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) by prenatal echocardiography. METHODS: Clinical data of 64 cases of TAPVC fetuses diagnosed by prenatal echocardiography and managed with integrated perinatal care in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Integrated perinatal care included multidisciplinary collaboration among obstetrics, fetal medicine, ultrasound, pediatric cardiology, pediatric anesthesia, and neonatology. RESULTS: Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, there were 29 cases of supracardiac type, 27 cases of intracardiac type, 2 cases of infracardiac type, and 6 cases of mixed type. Chromosomal analysis was performed in 42 cases, and no obvious abnormalities were found. Among the 64 TAPVC fetuses, 37 were induced labor, and 27 were followed up until term birth. Among the 27 TAPVC cases, 2 cases accepted palliative care, 2 cases were referred to another hospital for treatment and lost to follow-up, while the remaining 23 cases underwent primary repair surgery. One case died within 6 months after the operation due to low cardiac output syndrome, while the other 22 cases were followed up for (2.1±0.3) years with good outcomes (2 cases underwent a second surgery within 1 year after the first operation due to anastomotic stenosis or pulmonary vein stenosis). CONCLUSIONS TAPVC fetuses can achieve good outcomes with integrated management during the perinatal period.

Intestinal flora is the largest microbial community in human body， which consists of more than 1 000 species. Its structure and metabolites change dynamically with the age， diet and intestinal environment of the host. Study shows that the intestinal microbes play a pivotal role in regulating human physiological and pathological processes， and intestinal flora imbalance may be the key factors affecting the occurrence and development of bone and joint diseases， including osteoporosis， osteoarthritis， rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis. At present， calcitonin， estrogen， nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs， immunosuppressants， xanthine oxidase inhibitors and other western drugs are mostly used to treat the above diseases. However， long-term use of western drugs leads to poor compliance and obvious gastrointestinal adverse reactions among patients. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） predominates in the treatment of bone and joint diseases due to its low price， high efficacy and slight side effects， with the advantages of multi-targets， multi-mechanism and multi-levels. In recent years， many scholars have carried out experiments and clinical studies on the treatment of bone and joint diseases by TCMs on the basis of the liver and kidney theory such as "tonifying liver and kidney and strengthening muscles and bones". Gratifying results have been achieved. However， the mechanism of action has not been fully clarified. Intestinal flora becomes a hot spot in medical research， and a close relationship between intestinal flora and bone and joint diseases has been unveiled. Relevant literature in China and abroad showed that TCM has a significant effect on the treatment of bone and joint diseases by regulating intestinal flora. In this paper， the relationship between intestinal flora and bone and joint diseases was summarized and the intervention of TCM active ingredients and compounds on intestinal flora was reviewed to facilitate the prevention and treatment of bone and joint diseases by TCM.

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the mechanism by which LINC01285 regulates proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and the clinical implications. METHODS: We analyzed the expression of LINC01285 in CRC tissues and normal tissues using data from Starbase public database. We also examined the expression levels of LINC01285 in 70 pairs of CRC and adjacent tissue samples collected from our center and in different CRC cell lines using RT-qPCR, and analyzed the correlation of LINC01285 expression with the clinicopathological parameters and tumor-free survival time of the patients. In CRC cell lines (SW620 and HT-29), the changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype following LINC01285 knockdown were analyzed using CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assay and Western blotting. RESULTS: The TCGA-COAD transcriptome sequencing data obtained from the Starbasev3.0 public database revealed a significantly higher expression level of LINC01285 in CRC tissues than in adjacent tissues (P=0.00016), which was verified by RT-qPCR results of the clinical samples (P=0.0002). In CRC patients, the expression level of LINC01285 was closely correlated with histological differentiation of the tumor (P=0.036), T classification (P=0.000), lymph node metastasis (P=0.001), TNM stage (P=0.000), Duke stage (P=0.009) and relapse-free survival (P=0.0102). In SW620 and HT-29 cells, which expressed significantly higher levels of LINC01285 than normal colorectal mucosal cells (P < 0.001), LINC01285 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation (P < 0.001), increased early apoptosis, late apoptosis and total apoptosis rates (P < 0.05), suppressed cell migration and invasion (P < 0.001), upregulated the expression of E-cadherin (P < 0.001), and downregulated the expression of N-cadherin (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The expression level of LINC01285, which modulates the EMT pathway to regulate the proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis of CRC cells, is closely correlated with the prognosis of CRC patients.

The Myh3 (myosin heavy chain 3) gene is a marker gene of muscle cell differentiation and regulates the utilization of energy in muscle cells, but whether it affects the glycolysis process of muscle cells in different states is rarely reported. In this paper, the expression patterns of Myh3 and glycolysis-related genes Pkm (M-type pyruvate kinse), Prkag3 (protein kinase adenosine monophosphate-activated γ3-subunit), and Gsk3β (glycogen synthase kinase-3β) were studied by the qRT-PCR (quantitative-Real-Time-PCR) method using C2C12 cells at different stages of myoblast and adipogenic differentiation as models. It was found that in the process of myoblast differentiation of C2C12 cells, the relative expression trends of Myh3 and glycolysis genes Prkag3 and Pkm were basically the same, and the relative expression levels first increased, reached the peak on the second day of differentiation, and then decreased; glycogen synthase the expression trend of the inhibitory gene Gsk3β was relatively stable. In the process of adipogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells, the relative expression trend of Myh3 and glycolysis genes Prkag3 and Pkm remained basically the same, and the relative expression gradually increased, reaching the highest value on the 8th day of differentiation; glycogen synthase inhibitory gene Gsk3β expression remained stable. In the myogenic differentiation state of C2C12 cells, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the effects of interfering Myh3 on the mRNA and protein expressions of glycolysis-related genes Pkm, Prkag3, and Gsk3β. The results showed that after interfering with Myh3, the mRNA expressions of glycolysis genes Pkm and Prkag3 were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the mRNA expression of glycogen synthase inhibitory gene Gsk3β had no significant change (P > 0.05). The protein levels of Myh3 and Pkm were significantly lower than those in the blank group and NC group. Under the adipogenic differentiation state of C2C12 cells, after interfering with Myh3, the mRNA levels of glycogen synthase inhibitor Gsk3β and glycolysis gene Prkag3 were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA level of glycolysis gene Pkm was decreased; the protein levels of Myh3 and Pkm in the Myh3 interference group were also lower than those in the blank group and NC group. Based on the above studies, there are significant differences in the levels of glycolysis in C2C12 cells in the myogenic and adipogenic states, and the expression patterns of Myh3 and glycolysis genes are similar. Further results showed that Myh3 suppression could inhibit the glycolysis of C2C12 cells in the myogenic state without affecting the glycogen synthesis. Unlike in the myogenic state, interfering expression of Myh3 in the adipogenic state of C2C12 cells inhibited both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis.

OBJECTIVE：To establish pre -column derivatization-HPLC fingerprint of Polyporus polysaccharide ，and to determine the contents of main monosaccharide components ，so as to provide reference for quality evaluation of Polyporus umbellatus. METHODS ：Polyporus polysaccharide was extracted with boiling water and precipitated by ethanol and deproteinized by Sevage from 11 batches of P. umbellatus from different producing areas. The samples were firstly hydrolyzed with trifluoro-acetic acid （TFA）and then derivatized by 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone（PMP）. HPLC analysis was then conducted. The determination was carried out on HypersiL BDS C 18 column with mobile phase composed of 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer （pH 6.84）-acetonitrile（84∶16，V/V）by gradient elution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm， and column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 20 µL. The similarity of 11 batches of Polyporus polysaccharide was evaluated by using TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （2012A edition ），and the contents of main monosassharide components were detected. The peak was identified by comparing with the reference substance ，and cluster analysis was performed by using SPSS 23.0 software. RESULTS ：In HPLC fingerprints of the 11 batches of samples ，3 common peaks were identified ，namely mannose ，glucose and galactose. The similarity of all samples was above 0.94. Cluster analysis classified 11 batches of samples into three categories. S 1-S6，and S 8 were grouped into category 1；S7，S10 and S 11 were grouped into category 2；S9 was individually grouped into one category. Results of content determination showed that the contents of mannose ranged from 1.571 to 8.771 mg/g；those of glucose ranged from 26.072 to 132.194 mg/g，and those of galactose ranged from 3.420 to 36.593 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS ：Established pre-column derivatization HPLC fingerprints can provide reference for quality evaluation of P. umbellatus . The monosaccharide composition of different batches of Polyporus polysaccharide is the same ；there is no significant correlation between fingerprint characteristic peak and the origin of herbs ；there is significant difference in the content of monosaccharide of P. umbellatus .
