The pathological changes of myocardial infarction （MI） are mainly characterized by progressive myocardial ischemic necrosis， decline in cardiac diastolic function， thinning of the ventricular wall， and enlargement of the ventricles. The clinical manifestations include myocardial ischemia， heart failure， arrhythmia， shock， and even sudden cardiac death， rendering MI one of the most perilous cardiovascular diseases. Currently， the clinical treatment for MI primarily involves interventional procedures and drug therapy. However， due to their significant side effects and high complication rates associated with these treatments， they fail to ensure a satisfactory quality of life and long-term prognosis for patients. On the other hand， traditional Chinese medicine has demonstrated remarkable potential in improving patient prognosis while reducing side effects. Research has elucidated that various signaling pathways such as nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB）， adenosine 5̒-monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）/Smads， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， Wnt/β-catenin （β-catenin）， and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B（Akt） play crucial roles in regulating the occurrence and development of MI. Effectively modulating these signaling pathways through its therapeutic interventions， traditional Chinese medicine can enhance MI management by inhibiting apoptosis， providing anti-inflammatory properties， alleviating oxidative stress levels， and resisting myocardial ischemia. Due to its notable efficacy and favorable safety， it has become an area of focus in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effects and potential mechanism of total secondary ginsenosides （TSG） on hypertrophic changes of primary cardiomyocytes stimulated by angiotensin Ⅱ （Ang Ⅱ）. METHODS Primary cardiomyocytes were isolated from the hearts of neonatal SD rats and divided into the following groups： control group， AngⅡ group （2 µmol/L）， TSG group （7.5 µg/mL）， PFK-015 group [6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2， 6-bisphosphatase 3 （PFKFB3） inhibitor， 10 nmol/L]， and TSG+PFK-015 group （TSG 7.5 µg/mL+PFK-015 10 nmol/L）. The surface area， protein synthesis， energy metabolism-related indicators [free fatty acid （FFA）， coenzyme A （CoA）， acetyl coenzyme A （acetyl-CoA）]， and the expressions of glycolysis-related factors [hypoxia-inducible factor 1α （HIF-1α）， glucose transporter protein 4 （GLUT-4）， lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）， pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 （PDK1） and PFKFB3] in primary cardiomyocytes of each group were measured. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the surface area of primary cardiomyocytes and protein synthesis were significantly increased， the content of FFA， protein and mRNA expressions of HIF-1α， LDHA， PDK1 and PFKFB3 were significantly increased or up-regulated in the AngⅡ group， while the contents of CoA and acetyl-CoA， the protein and mRNA expressions of GLUT-4 were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with the AngⅡ group， both TSG group and PFK-015 group showed significant improvements in these indexes， with the TSG+PFK-015 group generally demonstrating superior effects compared to either treatment alone （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS TSG can reduce the surface area of AngⅡ-induced primary cardiomyocytes， decrease protein synthesis， and inhibit their hypertrophic changes. These effects may be related to improving energy metabolism and the inhibition of glycolysis activity.

Objective: To evaluate the suitability of the existing hemolysis rate standards for locally processed red blood cell components by retrospectively analyzing 5-year hemolysis rate data at the end of storage. Methods: A total of 720 blood samples of three types of red blood cell components from our blood station from January 2019 to December 2023 were collected. Parameters included hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and free hemoglobin concentration (fHb). Hemolysis rate were taken as the control standard of 0.8% in accordance with the national standard. The hemolysis rates were compared against the national standard threshold of 0.8% (GB18469-2012), and annual trends of the detection parameters were observed. Results: The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of leukocyte-depleted whole blood at the end of storage were (0.038±0.023 8) in 2019, (0.049±0.039 5) in 2020, (0.043±0.040 7) in 2021, (0.049±0.030 7) in 2022, and (0.058±0.054 8) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s" />,%) of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.093±0.050 2) in 2019, (0.086±0.049 5) in 2020, (0.123±0.072 3) in 2021, (0.122±0.052 1) in 2022, and (0.106±0.058 6) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of washed red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.127±0.038 2) in 2019, (0.150±0.066 5) in 2020, (0.121±0.052 2) in 2021, (0.124±0.038 9) in 2022, and (0.128±0.044 3) in 2023, respectively. Conclusion: Hemolysis rates at the end of blood storage of three red blood cell components were significantly lower than the limits specified in Quality Requirements for Whole Blood and Components (GB18469-2012), as well as standards from the EU, AABB and the United States. The results demonstrate excellent product quality control. A regional internal control standard of <0.2% is proposed for hemolysis rates at the end of storage.

Objective:To explore the sleep status and impact factor analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs, and provide a basis for improving the sleep status and impact analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs.Methods:From April to May 2023, 107 oncology patients in the Phase I Clinical Trial Ward of the Affiliated East Hospital of Tongji University were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI), Numeric rating scale (NRS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Depression Self-Ration Tool Scale (PHQ-9). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis methods were used to carry out a cross-sectional investigation and the relevant factors affecting patients′sleep.Results:Totally 103 questionnaires were effectively collected. The 103 patients′ age ranged from 20 to 75 years old, including 61 males and 42 females. 47.57% (49/103) patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs had abnormal sleep. The average score of patients (PSQI) (7.66 ± 3.93) was higher than the average score of the domestic norm (3.88 ± 2.52), and there was significant statistical difference ( t = 9.76, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that pain ( OR = 3.004, 95% CI 1.135-7.948, P<0.05) and trial cycle ( OR = 0.432, 95% CI 0.191-0.978, P<0.05) were significant risk factors for abnormal sleep quality. Conclusions:The incidence of abnormal sleep quality in patients of clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs is high, but the sleep quality is poor. The factors that affect the sleep quality of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs are mainly related to the patient′s trial cycle and cancer pain. According to these characteristics, individualized programs should be developed to improve the sleep quality of patients with advanced cancer, so as to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect of Kangfuxin solution combined with triamcinolone and Econazole cream in elderly patients with hip fracture complicated with incontinence dermatitis, and to provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted to select 80 elderly patients with hip fracture complicated with incontinence dermatitis who were hospitalized in the Orthopedics Department of the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from February 2023 to March 2024 by convenient sampling method. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 40 cases in each group according to random number table method. The experimental group was treated with Kangfuxin solution combined with triamcinolone and econazole cream for incontinence dermatitis. Intervention was stopped after 2 weeks of intervention or the incontinence dermatitis reached the clinical healing standard. In the control group, 3M spray was used to care the affected area of incontinence dermatitis, intervention was stopped after 2 weeks or the incontinence dermatitis reached the clinical healing standard. Incontinence dermatitis Skin Injury Assessment Scale (IADS) and perineal skin assessment tool PAT were used to evaluate the skin status of the two groups, and the healing time and treatment effectiveness of the two groups were compared.Results:In the control group, there were 11 males and 29 females, with age of (76.53 ± 8.67)years. There were 9 males and 31 females in the experimental group, with age of (76.56 ± 8.69)years, and there was no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). After intervention, the IADS and PAT scores of the control group were (27.13±5.22) points and (5.11 ± 0.94) points respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the experimental group (25.43 ± 4.15) points and (3.73 ± 1.21) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.22, 8.21, both P<0.05). The effective treatment in the experiment group was 97.5% (39/40), which was significant higher than 72.5% (29/40) in the control group ( χ2=13.25, P<0.05). The healing time of experimental group was (4.57 ± 3.44) d, which was significantly shorter than that of control group (9.23 ± 4.19) d, with statistical significance ( t=11.61, P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined application of Kangfuxin solution and triamcinolone and Econazole cream has a significant effect on improving incontinence dermatitis and perineal health in elderly patients with hip fracture, can effectively reduce symptoms and accelerate skin healing, and has certain clinical application value.

Objective This study aims to examine the potential mechanism of Shenfu Yixin Granules on heart failure(HF)based on network pharmacology,molecular docking,and experimental verification.Methods(1)The active components of herbs in Shenfu Yixin Granules were screened and retrieved through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP).PubChem database and Swiss Target Prediction platform were used to predict targets.GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to screen HF-related targets.The intersection of active ingredient targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules and HF-related targets was performed by using Venny 2.1.0 platform to obtain common targets,which were the potential targets for anti-HF effect of Shenfu Yixin Granules.The potential targets were imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and screen the core targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of potential targets were carried out by using DAVID database.AutoDock Vina software was used for molecular docking validation of key active ingredients and core targets.(2)SD rats were randomly allocated into sham operation group,model group,Shenfu Yixin Granules(5.28 g·kg-1)group,and positive control group(sacubitril-valsartan,20.8 mg·kg-1),with eight rats in each group.A rat model of HF after myocardial infarction was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery.The rats were subsequently administered orally with the corresponding drugs once daily for a period of four weeks.Cardiac function including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular fraction shortening(LVFS)in rats was assessed by echocardiography.Additionally,the histopathological alterations in rat heart tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),artial natriuretic peptide(ANP),and aldosterone(ALD)were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Furthermore,real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot were employed to detect mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue.Results(1)A total of 210 active ingredients and 1 196 targets of Shenfu Yixin Granules,as well as 801 HF-related targets were obtained.Venny 2.1.0 platform was used to acquire 97 potential targets(common targets)of Shenfu Yixin Granules for the treatment of HF.Key active ingredients,such as quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde were screened by"drugs-active ingredients-disease-targets"network analysis.The core targets including MAPK1、F2、CAV1、EDN1 and GJA1 were identified through PPI network analysis.The potential targets are mainly concentrated in multiple biological processes,namely,the positive regulation of gene expression,cardiac development,and the positive regulation of MAPK cascade,and involve multi key pathways including MAPK signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway etc.Good binding activities were observed between MAPK1,CAV1,EDN1,F2 and quercetin,luteolin,kaempferol,tanshinaldehyde,as well as MAPK1,F2 and arachidonic acid.(2)Compared with sham operation group,LVEF and LVFS of rats significantly reduced(P＜0.01),heart mass index obviously increased(P＜0.05)in the model group.Myocardial tissue appears obvious pathological damage,and the degree of interstitial fibrosis was serious.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly increased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly increased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,LVEF and LVFS of rats obviously increased(P＜0.01),but the decrease in heart mass index was not significant(P＞0.05)in Shenfu Yixin Granules group and positive control group.The pathological damage in myocardial tissues was significantly improved,the degree of interstitial fibrosis was significantly reduced.The collagen volume fraction of the heart significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The levels of serum BNP,ANP and ALD significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The mRNA and protein expressions of CAV1、F2 and MAPK1 in heart tissue significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenfu Yixin Granules may improve heart function and myocardial fibrosis in heart failure rats through the interaction between the active ingredients(quercetin,luteolin,arachidonic acid,kaempferol,and tanshinaldehyde)and targets(MAPK1,F2,CAV-1,and EDN1),so as to regulate MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To comprehensively review the clinical research on the treatment of hyperlipidemia with traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)through the evidence mapping,and to understand the distribution of evidence in this field. Methods Databases including CNKI,Wangfang,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Cochrane Library,and Embase were searched from January 2004 to December 2023 to collect clinical studies,systematic reviews/meta-analyses,guidelines and clinical pathways related to the treatment of hyperlipidemia with TCM. The results were analyzed and displayed in charts and graphs according to the screening criteria,and the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) tool and the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Chinese herbal medicine (PRISMA-CHM) were used to evaluate the quality of the systematic review/meta-analysis. Results A total of 1223 studies were included in the analysis according to Population,Intervention,Comparison,Outcome and Study design(PICOS) principles,involving 920 RCTs,249 non-RCTs,49 systematic reviews/meta-analyses,and 5 guidelines/expert consensus. In recent years,the overall number of clinical research publications has shown a downward trend. Hyperlipidemia frequently occurs in middle-aged and elderly people,and age of onset tends to be younger. The sample size of randomized controlled studies is mostly concentrated in 60-300 cases. There are many types of clinical treatment regimens for the treatment of hyperlipidemia with TCM,among which TCM decoction (50.13％) and Chinese patent medicine (38.41％) account for a relatively high proportion,and TCM exercise therapy (0.51％) is the lowest treatment. Jiangzhi Decoction has attracted more attention in trial group of TCM decoction,while Xuezhikang Capsule has attracted more attention in trial group of Chinese patent medicine. In terms of methodological design,199 papers(21.63％) explicitly mentioned the method of generating random sequence,17 papers(1.85％) mentioned allocation concealment,37 papers (4.02％) mentioned blinding. The control group was dominated by the statins,including simvastatin and atorvastatin. The outcome indicators mainly include the total effective rate,TCM syndrome score,blood lipid level,coagulation index,and adverse reactions,while the attention of TCM characteristic efficacy,inflammation,oxidative stress,and vascular endothelial index were low. The methodological and reporting quality of the systematic review/Meta-analysis were generally not high. AMSTAR-2 evaluation was extremely low,and the average PRISMA-CHM score was 15. Conclusion TCM has certain advantages in the treatment of hyperlipidemia,but there is a lack of high-quality evidence-based proof,and more high-quality clinical studies are still needed to further provide evidence supports in the future. It has been suggested that more large-sample and multi-center clinical studies should be carried out in the future. We should formulate systematic reviews/Meta analysis and guidelines/expert consensus according to the guidelines of clinical practice issues,also consult international standards and regulations,enhance normativity and reliability to improve the quality of their evidence.

Purpose To investigate the effect of shortening the acquisition time of 18F-D6-AV133 PET/CT on image quality and diagnostic efficacy in Parkinson's disease.Materials and Methods A total of 51 participants(27 of Parkinson's disease,24 of healthy-controls)from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected.Images were obtained after the injection of the tracer 18F-D6-AV133(371.04±16.30)MBq for 60 min,with collection times of 10 min.Four sets of images were reconstructed using CT attenuation correction with acquisition times of 3,5,7 and 10 min.Semi-quantitative analysis was performed on the PET images,calculating the striatum-to-occipital lobe standardized uptake value ratio(SUVR).Two physicians independently conducted qualitative evaluations for each image group.The differences of SUVR and visual score results among four sets of images were performed.The optimal critical value of SUVR was obtained by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic curve of the subjects.Results The visual analysis of image quality had a strong consistency between the two doctors(ICC=0.853,P<0.001).The images with acquisition time of 5 min could reach the common quality level in clinical work,accounting for 78.4%(40/51).The semi-quantitative results of image quality showed that there was no significant difference between SUVR and diagnostic efficiency obtained by acquisition time 5 min and 10 min(Z=1.821,P=0.069),and the best critical value of the two groups was equal to 3.Therefore,properly shortening the acquisition time had no effect on the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.Conclusion With the development and advancement of technical equipment,PET image quality is gradually improving and the scanning time is also gradually shortening.The acquisition time for 18F-D6-AV133 can be shortened from the conventional 10 min to 5 min.

Background::Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized immune-mediated disorder that can affect almost any organ in the human body. IgG4-RD can be categorized into proliferative and fibrotic subtypes based on patients’ clinicopathological characteristics. This study aimed to compare the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and treatment outcomes of IgG4-RD among different subtypes.Methods::We prospectively enrolled 622 patients with newly diagnosed IgG4-RD at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2011 to August 2021. The patients were divided into three groups according to their clinicopathological characteristics: proliferative, fibrotic, and mixed subtypes. We compared demographic features, clinical manifestations, organ involvement, laboratory tests, and treatment agents across three subtypes. We then assessed the differences in treatment outcomes among 448 patients receiving glucocorticoids alone or in combination with immunosuppressants. Moreover, risk factors of relapse were revealed by applying the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results::We classified the 622 patients into three groups consisting of 470 proliferative patients, 55 fibrotic patients, and 97 mixed patients, respectively. We found that gender distribution, age, disease duration, and frequency of allergy history were significantly different among subgroups. In terms of organ involvement, submandibular and lacrimal glands were frequently involved in the proliferative subtype, while retroperitoneum was the most commonly involved site in both fibrotic subtype and mixed subtype. The comparison of laboratory tests revealed that eosinophils ( P = 0.010), total IgE ( P = 0.006), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( P <0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P <0.001), complement C4 ( P <0.001), IgG ( P = 0.001), IgG1 (P <0.001), IgG4 (P <0.001), and IgA ( P <0.001), at baseline were significantly different among three subtypes. Compared with proliferative and mixed subtypes, the fibrotic subtype showed the lowest rate of relapse (log-rank P = 0.014). Conclusions::Our study revealed the differences in demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, organ involvement, laboratory tests, treatment agents, and outcomes across proliferative, fibrotic, and mixed subtypes in the retrospective cohort study. Given significant differences in relapse-free survival among the three subtypes, treatment regimens, and follow-up frequency should be considered separately according to different subtypes.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials. gov, NCT01670695.
