OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pill (STDP) in treating stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome by exercise duration and metabolic equivalents. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial enrolled stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome from 22 hospitals. They were randomized 1:1 to STDP (35 mg/pill, 6 pills per day) or placebo for 56 days. The primary outcome was the exercise duration and metabolic equivalents (METs) assessed by the standard Bruce exercise treadmill test after 56 days of treatment. The secondary outcomes included the total angina symptom score, Chinese medicine (CM) symptom scores, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, changes in ST-T on electrocardiogram and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: This trial enrolled 309 patients, including 155 and 154 in the STDP and placebo groups, respectively. STDP significantly prolonged exercise duration with an increase of 51.0 s, compared to a decrease of 12.0 s with placebo (change rate: -11.1% vs. 3.2%, P<0.01). The increase in METs was significantly greater in the STDP group than in the placebo group (change: -0.4 vs. 0.0, change rate: -5.0% vs. 0.0%, P<0.01). The improvement of total angina symptom scores (25.0% vs. 0.0%), CM symptom scores (38.7% vs. 11.8%), reduction of nitroglycerin consumption (100.0% vs. 11.3%), and all domains of SAQ, were significantly greater with STDP than placebo (all P<0.01). The changes in Q-T intervals at 28 and 56 days from baseline were similar between the two groups (both P>0.05). Twenty-five participants (16.3%) with STDP and 16 (10.5%) with placebo experienced AEs (P=0.131), with no serious AEs observed. CONCLUSION STDP could improve exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina and phlegm-heat and blood stasis syndrome, with a favorable safety profile. (Registration No. ChiCTR-IPR-15006020).

Objective To explore the influence of intravenous injection of cis-atracurium during anesthesia induction on QT interval(QTc),hemodynamics and oxidative stress level in patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery.Methods Patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery were classified into control group and treatment group.The treatment group was given intravenous injection of 2 mg·kg-1 of propofol emulsion injection+3 μg·kg-1 of fentanyl+0.15 mg·kg-1 of cis-atracurium besylate for injection,while the control group was given intravenous injection of 2 mg·kg-1 of propofol emulsion injection+3 μg·kg-1 of fentanyl+the same amount of 0.9％NaCl as treatment group.Laryngeal mask was placed in the two groups after 3 min,and laryngeal mask ventilation was given for general anesthesia.QTc value and hemodynamics[mean arterial pressure(MAP)]were detected before entering the room(T0),after 1 min of propofol+fentanyl intravenous injection(T1),after 1 min of cis-atracurium besylate for injection/0.9％NaCl(T2),immediately after laryngeal mask insertion(T3)and after 3 min of laryngeal mask insertion(T4).The anesthetic effect,postoperative dynamic pain visual analogue scale(VAS)score and sore throat were counted.The levels of serum oxidative stress indicators[superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)]at T0 and at the end of surgery(T5)were detected,and the safety was assessed.Results Fifty-two cases in treatment group and forty-four cases in control group were included.There was no statistical difference in QTc value between treatment group and control group at T0-T4(all P＞0.05).The MAP values in treatment group and control group at T3 were(84.22±5.96)and(86.78±6.11)mmHg,respectively,with a statistical difference(P＜0.05).The laryngeal mask insertion times in treatment group and control group were(17.02±2.47)and(19.52±2.34)s;the spontaneous breathing recovery times were(8.51±1.84)and(6.18±1.15)min;the eye opening time were(10.49±2.42)and(9.53±2.17)min;the laryngeal mask removal time were(11.16±2.16)and(10.21±2.34)min;the incidence rates of postoperative sore throat were 13.46％and 31.82％,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The levels of SOD in treatment group and control group at T5 were(36.63±4.17)and(33.26±4.86)nU·mL-1;the levels of MDA were(7.42±2.14)and(8.59±2.83)mmol·L-1(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in treatment group were mainly nausea and vomiting,respiratory depression and hypotension,and the adverse drug reactions in control group were mainly nausea and vomiting and respiratory depression.The incidence rates of adverse reactions in treatment group and control group were 13.46％and 11.36％,respectively(P＞0.05).Conclusion Cis-atracurium intravenous injection during anesthesia induction has no influence on QTc in patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery,and has advantages in stabilizing intraoperative hemodynamics,reducing postoperative sore throat and improving serum oxidative stress indicators.

Purpose::To explore the effect of green channel for stroke patients on the treatment of severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.Methods::This is a retrospective case-control study. The clinical data of patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to the emergency department of our hospital from January 2015 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage, confirmed intracranial aneurysm by preoperative CT angiography or digital subtraction, graded Hunt-Hess grade III, IV, and V, < 72 h from the onset to the time of consultation received surgical treatment in our hospital were included in this study. Patients with serious underlying diseases, such as heart, liver, kidney diseases, or malignant tumors, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, previous history of cerebral hemorrhage, and incomplete data were excluded. The control group included patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted from January 2015 to December 2018 before the establishment of the green channel for stroke patients, and the observation group included patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted from January 2019 to June 2022 after the establishment of the green channel. The control group received routine treatment in the emergency department; the observation group received improved treatment of green channel for stroke patients. Gender, age, Hunt-Hess grade on admission, modified Rankin scale (mRS) on admission, aneurysm location, aneurysm size and whether accompanied by intracerebral hemorrhage, the time from onset to emergency department, the time from emergency department to vascular diagnostic examination, the time from onset to surgery, the time from emergency department to surgery, the time from hospital admission to surgery, length of hospital stay, complications, treatment effect were analyzed and compared between the 2 groups. SPSS 23.0 software was utilized to conduct comparisons between the 2 groups. The t-test, Chi-square test, or Mann-Whitney U test was chosen based on the data type. Statistical significance was established when p < 0.05. Results::A total of 71 patients were included in this study, of whom 37 were in the control group and 34 were in the observation group. There were no statistical differences in age, gender, Hunt-Hess grade, mRS scores, aneurysm location, aneurysm size, intracerebral hemorrhage, the time from onset to emergency department, length of hospital stay, complications between the observation group and the control group (all p > 0.05). The time (min) from visit to vascular diagnostic test (60.50 vs. 120.00, p =0.027), the time (min) from onset to surgery (1792.00 vs. 2868.00, p =0.023), the time (min) from emergency department to surgery (1568.50 vs. 2778.00, p =0.016), the time (min) from hospital admission to surgery (1188.50 vs. 2708.00, p =0.043), all of them were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group. The relative values of admission and 7-day postoperative mRS scores and the relative values of admission and discharge mRS scores ≥ 2 were used as the criteria for determining better efficacy, and the treatment effect was better than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (admission to 7 days postoperative mRS score ≥ 2, 17 (50.0 %) vs. 8 (21.6 %), p =0.012; admission to discharge mRS score ≥ 2, 19 (55.9 %) vs. 11 (29.7 %), p =0.026). Conclusion::The green channel for stroke patients with severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage can effectively shorten the time from arrival at the emergency department to vascular diagnostic examination and the time from the emergency department to surgery, and achieve a better therapeutic effect, which is worth popularizing and applying.

In industrial production,the expression level of drug proteins in Chinese hamster ovary cells(CHO)is influenced by many factors:the regulatory elements on transcription and translation,the ge-nomic integration sites,and the expression system.Transcription,as the first step of gene expression,largely affects protein expression,and the promoter plays a crucial role in the initiation of transcription.Most of the promoters were screened through transient transfection or random integration,but the presence of unclear copy number or random integration sites makes it difficult to accurately evaluate the promoter activity.To some extent,site-specific integration can reduce the impact of positional effects on exogenous genes and may potentially increase the expression level of exogenous genes.In the early stage of our re-search,multiple sites that can stably express exogenous proteins were identified and verified in the CHO cell genome.In this study,one of these sites(2c6)was selected for the evaluation of promoter activity.The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technique was used to site-specifically integrate the reporter gene(EG-FP)regulated by the simian virus early promoter(SV40),mouse elongation factor-1α(mEF-1α),chicken β-actin(cACTB)promoter,and human phosphoglycerate kinase promoter(hPGK)into the 2c6 site,respectively.The mean fluorescence intensity of the cells was analyzed by flow cytometry,and the mRNA level of EGFP was detected by qPCR to comprehensively evaluate the activity of the promoter.The results showed that the activities of the mEF-1α and mACTB promoters were better than those of SV40 and hPGK.The results of the secondary flow cytometry sorting showed that site-specific integration can more accurately evaluate the activity of the promoter in the CHO cell expression system.
