Objective The Nuangong Waifu formula (NGWFF) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription that has been used in gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine in our hospital for many years. It has a certain effect on preventing postoperative intrauterine re-adhesion. To further retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy of NGWFF. Methods A total of 200 patients who were diagnosed with intrauterine adhesions and underwent intrauterine adhesion separation from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively included. They were divided into control group and observation group according to different drug use for postoperative prevention of re-adhesion, with 100 cases in each group. All patients were given oral estrogen and progesterone (ethinyl estradiol tablets 0.037 5 mg, q12 h, or estradiol valerate tablets 3 mg, q12 h, a total of 21 days, 7 days after estrogen therapy plus dydrogesterone 20 mg, qd or progesterone capsules 200 mg, qd) to promote endometrial growth. In the control group, 100 patients only used estrogen and progesterone after operation. In the observation group, 100 patients were treated with NGWFF at Guanyuan acupoint (four fingers under the navel), once a day. Both groups were evaluated for the degree of intrauterine adhesions under hysteroscopy and the effective rate after 3-5 menstrual cycles of drug treatment. Results Compared with using estrogen and progesterone alone, combination use of NGWFF significantly decreased in the scores of intrauterine adhesions under hysteroscopy (2.41±1.19 vs 3.31±1.18, P=0.00), and the effective rate was also significantly higher than that in the control group ( 86 % vs 47 %, P<0.000). Conclusion The combination use of NGWFF was more effective than using estrogen and progesterone alone in preventing re-adhesion after intrauterine adhesions, which provided a scientific basis for the clinical application of NGWFF.

Intestinal aging is central to systemic aging, characterized by a progressive decline in intestinal structure and function. The core mechanisms involve dysregulation of epithelial cell renewal and gut microbiota dysbiosis. In addition to previous results in model organisms like Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have shown that in mammalian models, aging causes increased intestinal permeability and intestinal-derived systemic inflammation, thereby affecting longevity. Therefore, anti-intestinal aging can be an important strategy for reducing frailty and promoting longevity. There are three key gaps remaining in the study of intestinal aging: (1) overemphasis on aging-related diseases rather than the primary aging mechanisms; (2) lack of specific drugs or treatments to prevent or treat intestinal aging; (3) limited aging-specific dysbiosis research. In this review, the basic structures and renewal mechanisms of intestinal epithelium, and mechanisms and potential therapies for intestinal aging are discussed to advance understanding of the causes, consequences, and treatments of age-related intestinal dysfunction.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristic of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) patients with Kawasaki disease like onset symptom.Methods:A case-control study was performed. A total of 24 patients with sJIA with Kawasaki disease-like symptoms at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2018 to August 2024 were selected as the Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group. A total of 96 patients with Kawasaki disease as the Kawasaki disease group and 83 patients with sJIA were selected as the sJIA group. The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations and complications of the patients were compared among the 3 groups. Differences between groups were assessed by Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test and Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results:There were significant differences in age and fever course between Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA groups, Kawasaki disease groups, and sJIA groups (3.4 (2.5, 7.3) vs. 3.4 (1.9, 4.8) vs. 8.8 (5.1, 11.7) years, 24.5 (18.0, 37.3) vs. 23.0 (18.0, 31.0) vs. 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) d, Z=67.09, 138.24, both P<0.05). Among the 24 cases of Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA, 20 cases (83%) had joint symptoms and 9 cases (38%) had conjunctival congestion. There were significant differences in the incidence of coronary artery injury between Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group, Kawasaki disease group and sJIA group (58% (14/24) vs. 44% (42/96) vs. 6% (5/83), χ2=40.50, P<0.05). There were significant differences in the risk of macrophage activation syndrome between Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group, sJIA group and Kawasaki disease group (17% (4/24) vs. 10% (8/83) vs. 0, P<0.05). In the Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group, 11 cases (46%) did not respond after 2 courses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment, and 21 cases (88%) used glucocorticoids. The use rate of high-dose hormones in the Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group was higher than that in the sJIA group (29% (7/24) vs. 5% (4/83), χ2=12.95, P<0.05). In the group of Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA group, 17 cases (71%) used biological agents, 1 case used adalimumab, and 16 cases received tocilizumab treatment, of which 4 cases were allergic to tocilizumab. In the group of Kawasaki disease combined with sJIA, 11 cases (46%) treated with tocilizumab were followed up regularly for 1 month, and 10 cases were effective. Conclusions:Children with sJIA who present with Kawasaki disease-like clinical symptoms have clinical features of Kawasaki disease and sJIA. Children with Kawasaki disease who present at a young age, have a long fever course, are accompanied by joint symptoms, and are IVIG-resistant need to be alert to the possibility of sJIA and receive timely treatment with hormones and biological agents.
6.Research progress on the relationship between DNA damage repair genes and liver cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2022;49(10):635-638
DNA damage repair (DDR) genes are overexpressed in liver cancer. Studies have found that DDR is closely related to the occurrence and development of liver cancer. There is a synergistic effect between DDR inhibitors and chemotherapy and targeted drugs for liver cancer. DDR inhibitors can enhance the sensitivity of radiotherapy. Some DDR genes can be used as biomarkers for the prognosis of liver cancer.

Objective to analyze the differences and changes before and after the introduction of supply processing distribution (SPD) supply chain management mode in a public hospital, analyze the typical problems existing in the clinical practice and development of SPD mode, and explore the countermeasures to improve the SPD supply chain management. Methods the changes of 20 management functions before and after the introduction of SPD supply chain management mode were compared. The advantages and disadvantages of SPD management mode were analyzed. The improvement measures and countermeasures were proposed. Results among the 20 management functions, 11 of them were reduced, 5 of them were equal, and 4 of them were increased. The overall efficiency of hospital management was improved. Because the external medicine supplier has not been included in the hospital rules, regulations system and process. The role positioning was not clear. There were defects in institutional and continuous guarantee. Conclusion SPD supply chain management mode can be improved and innovated to promote the supply channel reform of drugs and medical consumables, and improve the fine management level of drugs and medical consumables.

Objective:To investigate the current management of nosocomial infection at medical institutions of all levels in Changzhou, so as to provide basis for standardizing nosocomial infections control of hospitals within a medical alliance.Methods:An electronic questionnaire was customized for online survey of 91 hospitals affiliated to eight regional medical alliances in Changzhou city in March 2019. The survey covered such aspects as general conditions of the hospital, profile of nosocomial infection control administrators and other staffing, supervision of hospital nosocomial infection programs, and training needs, as well as outstanding problems and suggestions.Frequency number and percentage represent enumeration data, and χ2 test was used to analyze the in-group differences of medical institutions of three levels. Results:Tertiary public hospitals were superior to the secondary and primary hospitals in organizational structure, professional staffing and target monitoring, with the differences of statistical significance( P<0.05). The most urgent training needs of medical institutions at all levels were knowledge in determination and reporting of infectious diseases/nosocomial infection/infection outbreaks; top imperatives and recommendations were development of operation rules for primary medical institutions and standardization of workflows. Conclusions:Staff of primary medical institutions need capacity building in nosocomial infection control; primary hospitals are equipped with incomplete nosocomial infection control information platform; key departments in general lack homogenous management. Tertiary hospitals are encouraged to play leadership in medical alliances in achieving standardized, homogenous and informationized nosocomial infection control within the medical alliances.

A 67-year-old female patient took aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg thrice daily orally in order to prevent arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease without doctor′s advice. After 42 days of medication, the patient developed hematochezia, which was progressively aggravated and finally led to severe hemorrhagic anemia (red blood cell count 1.55×10 12/L, hemoglobin 47 g/L) and decreased blood pressure (58/33 mmHg). On the 4th day of bleeding, exploratory laparotomy was performed and colonic hemorrhage was diagnosed. Ligation of the mesenteric artery was performed and the patient′s bleeding stopped. The patient took aspirin by herself at a daily dose exceeding the recommended dose without assessment of benefits and bleeding risks by professional physicians and developed severe lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which led to hospitalization and surgical treatment. It was a grade H medication error.
