OBJECTIVE To construct a scientific and systematic quality control index system for intravenous medication admixture， so as to ensure the safety of drug use and improve the quality of medical service. METHODS Based on literature analysis and cross-sectional survey， an initial indicator framework was formulated. Opinions were then gathered through two rounds of Delphi expert consultations， and the expert authority coefficient and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance were calculated to evaluate the consistency. Ultimately， the analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine the weights of each indicator and test for consistency in order to establish a scientific and systematic quality control indicator system for intravenous medication admixture. RESULTS The study conducted two rounds of expert consultation with an average positive coefficient of 95.92% and an average authority coefficient of 0.983. In the second round of the Delphi consultation， the Kendall’s coefficients of concordance for the first-， second-， and third-level indicators were 0.306， 0.440， and 0.394， respectively， all significantly higher than those in the first round （0.211， 0.274， 0.379）. The final quality control system for intravenous medication admixture consisted of 6 first-level indicators （personnel， medicines and consumables， facilities and equipment， process management， environmental hygiene， and outcomes）， 17 second-level indicators （e.g.， education and training， staffing structure， workload， medication management， consumables management， and equipment maintenance）， and 44 third-level indicators （e.g.， average daily workload per person， proportion of pharmacy professionals， competency assessment pass rate， work system assessment pass rate， continuing education frequency and pass rate， and medication inventory accuracy）. CONCLUSIONS The quality control system for intravenous medication admixture developed in this study demonstrates strong authority and scientific rigor， providing a theoretical basis and practical tool for the standardized management of intravenous medication admixture quality in hospitals.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of herbal cake-separated moxibustion using the classical formula Xiaoyaosan in alleviating neuroimmune inflammatory responses in chronic fatigue syndrome （CFS） rats， based on the regulation of the toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. MethodsFifty SPF-grade SD rats aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into five groups： Normal group， model group， sham herbal cake moxibustion group， Chinese medicine intragastric administration group， and herbal cake-separated moxibustion group， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， all other groups underwent a 21-day modeling process， followed by behavioral testing. The herbal cake-separated moxibustion and sham herbal cake moxibustion groups received interventions at the Shenque （CV8）， Guanyuan （CV4）， Zusanli （ST36）， and Qimen （LR14） acupoints. The Chinese medicine intragastric administration group was treated with a Xiaoyaosan suspension via gavage. Behavioral tests were conducted after 10 days of continuous intervention. Serum levels of interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， as well as hippocampal levels of IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and NF-κB， were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Morphological changes in the hippocampus were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels of TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB in the hippocampus. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the relative expression levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， and p65 proteins in the hippocampus. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed a significant decrease in upright times during the open field test （P<0.01）， as well as significant reductions in total movement distance， resting time， and center region duration （P<0.01）. In the tail suspension test， immobility time increased （P<0.01）， and struggle times decreased （P<0.01）. Serum and hippocampal levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α， as well as hippocampal NF-κB levels and TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB mRNA expression， were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. After treatment， compared with the model group， the total movement distance and upright times in the open field test were significantly increased in all treatment groups （P<0.01）， while resting time and center region duration were notably prolonged （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Immobility time in the tail suspension test was significantly shortened （P<0.01）， and struggle times significantly increased （P<0.05）. Serum and hippocampal levels of IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， hippocampal NF-κB levels， and TLR4 and NF-κB mRNA expression were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the sham herbal cake moxibustion group， the herbal cake-separated moxibustion group showed a significant extension in center region duration during the open field test （P<0.05） and a significant increase in upright times （P<0.01）. In the tail suspension test， immobility time was reduced （P<0.01）， and struggle times increased （P<0.01）. Serum TNF-α levels in the Chinese medicine intragastric administration group were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， while serum IL-6 levels， as well as hippocampal levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， NF-κB， and TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB mRNA expression， were significantly decreased in both the Chinese medicine intragastric administration group and the herbal cake-separated moxibustion group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the Chinese medicine intragastric administration group， the herbal cake-separated moxibustion group exhibited significantly increased upright times in the open field test （P<0.01）. In the tail suspension test， immobility time was reduced （P<0.01）， and struggle times increased （P<0.01）. Serum IL-1β， hippocampal TNF-α levels， and TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB mRNA expression were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionHerbal cake-separated moxibustion effectively improves fatigue and memory function in CFS rats， regulates neuroimmune inflammatory responses， and its mechanism may be related to the modulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Pasteurella is a genus of zoonotic pathogens that are widely distributed in both healthy and diseased ani-mals.Reports of human infections caused by wild animal bites are rare.This paper reports the first case of Pasteu-rella multocida infection caused by a snow leopard bite in China.The strains were identified using the DL-96 Ⅱ bac-terial identification system,BRUKER automatic microbial mass spectrometer,and Autof ms 1000 mass spectrome-ter.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the DL-96 Ⅱ bacterial assay system.After wound de-bridement,surgical incision and drainage,and combined antimicrobial treatment,the patient recovered and was dis-charged from the hospital.This paper aims to improve clinical health care workers'understanding on this bacterium.

This study aims to investigate the changes in blood biochemical indicators of tongue roll-ing(TR)behavior in cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota,laying a founda-tion for further exploring the relationship between animal oral microbiota,biochemical indicators,and behavioral changes.It also provides theoretical basis for preventing and treating TR behavior through regulating oral microbiota.This study intends to analyze and compare the blood biochemi-cal indicators and changes in oral microbiota of cattle with TR behavior and healthy cattle without TR behavior(healthy control,H),in order to explore the blood biochemical indicators of TR cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota.Blood samples from the caudal vein of cattle in each group were collected for the detection of blood biochemical indicators and stress-related hormone indicators.Oral swabs from cattle in each group were collected for 16S rRNA gene se-quencing to analyze the composition,structure,and functional changes of their oral microbiota.The results of blood biochemical indicators in H and TR groups showed that the concentrations of al-bumin(ALB),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),calcium ion(Ca2+),and cortisol in TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in beta diversity of oral microbiota between TR and H groups(P＜0.05).At the genus level,the rela-tive abundances of Pseudomonas,Enterobacter,Xanthomonas,and other genera in the oral micro-biota of TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).However,the rela-tive abundances of Tessaracoccus,Turicibacter,Monoglobus,Dietzia,Bifidobacterium,and other genera in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).In the KEGG metabolic pathway at the third level,the relative abundances of thiamine me-tabolism,lipoate metabolism,cysteine and methionine metabolism in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that ALB and AST were significantly positively correlated with the relative abundances of Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas.Therelative abundances of Pseudomonas,Stenotrophomonas,and Sphingomonas were significantly positively correlated with fatty acid metabolism,phosphate and phosphonate metabolism,and lipoate metabolism.ALB was significantly positively correlated with inositol phosphate metabolism and phosphate and phosphonate metabolism.The study found that there were significant differences in blood biochemical indicators and oral microbiota between TR and H groups.In addition,there is a certain correlation between the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota and the biochemical function of the host.This indicates that TR behav-ior may be associated with changes in the biochemical indicators of the host and the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota.

Objective To analyze the relationship between 15 immunophenotypes of peripheral blood T cells and age and gender in healthy adults in the Dalian area. Methods A total of 277 healthy adults admitted to the physical examination center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from October 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects,including 154 males and 123 females. They were divided into three groups according to age:young group(18～44 years,n=103),middle-aged group(45～60 years,n=114) and old age group(>60 years,n=60). Flow cytometry was used to determine immunophenotypes of T cells,including the absolute count and proportion of na?ve cells (N),central memory (CM),effector memory (EM),terminal effector memory (TEM),activation (HLA-DR+) and senescence (CD28-) CD4+and CD8+T cells,and the differences of them among age and gender were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was also used to evaluate the correlation between age and immunophenotypes of T cells. Results Compared with the young group,the absolute count and proportion of CD8+TEM,CD4+HLA-DR+,CD8+HLA-DR+and CD8+CD28-T lymphoaytes cells were increased in the middle-aged group and old age group (Z=2.009～6.607),while the absolute count and proportion of CD8+N T cells were decreased in the middle-aged group (Z=5.574～7.999) and old age group,and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05),respectively. Compared with the female group,the absolute count and proportion of CD8+CM,CD8+HLA-DR+and CD8+CD28-T cells were increased in the female group (Z=2.945～6.131),while the absolute count and proportion of CD3+,CD4+and CD8+N T cells were decreased in the male group (Z=2.075～4.225),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05),respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that age was positively correlated with the absolute count and proportion of CD4+CM,CD4+HLA-DR+,CD4+CD28-,CD8+TEM,CD8+HLA-DR+and CD8+CD28-T lymphocytes cells (r=0.125～0.479,all P<0.05),while negatively correlated the absolute count and proportion of CD4+N and CD8+N T lymphocytes cells (r=-0.538～-0.148,all P<0.05). Conclusion The 15 immunophenotypes of peripheral blood T lymphocytes cells in healthy adults from Dalian area are affected by age and gender,so it is necessary to establish a suitable local reference interval to provide a more accurate reference for immune function assessment.

Objective To investigate the influence of oxygen supply flow rate in high-flow nasal cannula(HFNC)oxygen therapy on pressure distributions in the upper airway.Methods A three-dimensional(3D)model of the upper airway was reconstructed using CT images from an adult male,and then coupled with a high-flow nasal cannula model to establish a coupled model of the nasal cannula and the upper airway.Subsequently,a physical model of this upper airway,which was combined with a head model,artificial lungs,and a monitoring system was created by 3D printing technology to form a physical simulation platform in vitro.Computational and physical simulations were carried out respectively to determine the air pressure at typical locations in the upper airway under different oxygen supply flow rates.Results Pressures at typical upper airway locations obtained by computational and physical simulations turned out to be in good agreement;both peak inspirational pressure(PIP)and positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)increased quadratically with the increase of oxygen supply flow rate;and the air pressure distribution was more uniform in the laryngeal cross-section as compared to the nasal part of the upper airway.Conclusions This study may provide a theoretical support for optimization of the setting of oxygen suppy flow rate and the selection of PEEP effect assessment position in the clinical application of HFNC oxygen therapy.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes are involved in multiple injury repair processes,and the effects and the specific mechanisms of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury have not been fully elucidated.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the molecular mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in the treatment of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.METHODS:(1) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and exosomes were obtained and identified using an exosome extraction kit.(2) The distribution of exosomes in the kidney of mice with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was examined by intravital fluorescence imaging.(3) Thirty C57/BL6 male mice were divided into five groups according to the random number table method:sham operation group,renal ischemia/reperfusion group,sham operation group+Compound C group,renal ischemia/reperfusion+exosome group (exosome group),and renal ischemia/reperfusion+exosome+Compound C group (exosome+Compound C group),with 6 mice in each group.Except the sham operation group,bilateral renal pedicles were clamped for 45 minutes and a mouse model of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was established after 24 hours of reperfusion.In sham operation+Compound C group and exosome+Compound C group,AMPK inhibitor Compound C was intraperitoneally injected 30 minutes before model establishment.In the exosome group and exosome+Copmpound C group,exosomes were injected through the tail vein 15 minutes before renal pedicle clipping.The levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen,interleukin 6,and tumor necrosis factor α in renal tissue,and the expression of apoptosis-related factors in renal tissue were detected after 24 hours of reperfusion in each group.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes had the typical tea tray morphology,with the diameter distribution in the range of 40-160 nm,and expressed the specific marker membrane protein of exosome surface.(2) Murine kidneys after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury were more likely to gather human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes compared with the sham operation group.(3) Exosome pretreatment reduced renal injury and the level of renal cell apoptosis in mice treated with renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.Moreover,this protective effect could be reversed by AMPK inhibitors.These findings verify that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes exerting a protective effect on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to the activation of the AMPK/YAP1 pathway to antiapoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the association between blood selenium levels and sex hormones in Chinese men aged 18-79 years.Methods:Data were derived from the China National Human Biomonitoring survey conducted in 2017-2018, with a final sample size of 5 414 men. General demographic characteristics, behavioral habits, and dietary frequency were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations. Fasting blood samples were collected to measure blood lead, serum testosterone, and estradiol levels. Complex sampling linear regression models were used to analyze the associations between blood selenium levels and testosterone, estradiol, and the testosterone/estradiol ratio, adjusting for confounding factors including age, education level, marital status, smoking status, alcohol consumption, seafood intake, soy product intake, protein supplement intake, BMI, and diabetes status.Results:The mean age of the 5 414 participants was (46.85±27.91) years; 4 774 (91.65%) were of Han ethnicity and 4 505 (86.68%) were married. The median ( Q1, Q3) blood selenium concentration in men was 97.80 (80.64, 116.99) μg/L. After adjusting for confounding factors, the complex sampling linear regression model revealed negative associations between blood selenium levels and both testosterone levels and the testosterone/estradiol ratio, with a significant linear trend ( Ptrend<0.05). Compared with the Q1 group, the β (95% CI) values for testosterone in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were -0.02 (-0.06 to 0.02), -0.03 (-0.08 to 0.01), and -0.06 (-0.09 to -0.02), respectively. Similarly, the β (95% CI) values for the testosterone/estradiol ratio in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were -0.01 (-0.03 to 0.02), -0.01 (-0.04 to 0.04), and -0.03 (-0.06 to -0.01), respectively. Subgroup analysis indicated stronger associations between blood selenium levels and testosterone/estradiol levels in non-smoking and obese men (BMI≥28 kg/m2). Conclusion:Blood selenium levels are negatively associated with testosterone levels and the testosterone/estradiol ratio in Chinese adult males.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic purse- string suture clamps combined with multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis during total laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy (TLTG).Methods:This was a retrospective descriptive study of 42 patients with primary gastric malignancies who underwent TLTG at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University that utilized laparoscopic purse-string suture clamps and multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal anastomosis between May, 2024 and January, 2025. The cohort included 33 males and 9 females, with a mean age of (67.7 ±9.5) years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of (23.9±2.9) kg/m 2. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classifications were I - II in 40 patients and III in 2 patients, and all patients were definitively diagnosed preoperatively via gastroscopy, dual-energy CT, and/or MRI. Tumor locations included the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) in 28 cases (Siewert type II - III), the upper third of the stomach in 12 cases, and the middle third in 2 cases. The median distance of esophageal invasion was 1.3 cm, though in 10 cases this was ≥2 cm. Preoperative TNM staging was I-II in 17 patients and III in 25 patients. Surgical outcomes including operative time, anastomosis time, intraoperative blood loss, pathological results, and postoperative recovery were retrospectively analyzed. Results:All 42 operations were successful. The mean operative time was(212.5±26.4) minutes, and the average time from multi-functional seal cap placement to completion of the esophagojejunal anastomosis was (54.2±7.5) minutes. Mean intraoperative blood loss was (79.9±21.3) ml. Postoperative pathology confirmed R0 resection in all specimens, with a mean proximal esophageal margin distance of (2.1±1.6) cm. Furthermore, (51.9±15.1) lymph nodes on average were harvested from each patient; the mean time to oral intake was (149.5±41.4) hours; and the mean hospital stay was (11.3±5.4) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients: anastomotic leakage ( n=2), residual intra-abdominal infection ( n=1), pulmonary infection ( n=3), and Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred in 2 patients. No recurrence, mortality, or anastomosis-related complications were observed within a median follow-up of 5.8 months (range 3.5-11.2). Conclusion:We find the application of the laparoscopic purse-string suture clamps and multi-functional seal caps for esophagojejunal anastomosis in TLTG to be safe and feasible, with satisfactory short-term outcomes.

Objective:To observe and analyze the intraocular stability of intraocular lens (IOL) with different haptic designs after cataract surgery by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.Medical records of 130 consecutive patients (130 eyes) diagnosed with age-related cataract, who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2021 to August 2022 were collected.According to the type of IOL implanted, the patients were divided into four groups, L-haptic group with 34 cases (34 eyes), modified C-haptic group with 30 cases (30 eyes), plate-haptic group with 36 cases (36 eyes), four-haptic group with 30 cases (30 eyes).Before surgery, the patient's axial length and IOL diopter were measured with an optical biometer, and the angle kappa and angle alpha were measured with corneal topography.At 3 months after surgery, the anterior chamber depth, decentration and tilt of IOL, the space area between IOL and posterior capsule (AREAP) of the four groups were measured using SS-OCT.And anterior chamber depth changes and diopter changes were calculated.This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2022-KY-1222-002).All subjects were aware of the purpose and significance of this study and voluntarily signed the informed consent form.Results:The average decentration and tilt of the modified C-haptic, L-haptic, plate-haptic, and four-haptic IOL decreased successively at 3 months after surgery, with no statistically significant differences ( H=7.055, F=5.162; all P>0.05).The postoperative anterior chamber depth, the anterior chamber depth change, the diopter change and the AREAP of the modified C-haptic, L-haptic, plate-haptic, and four-haptic IOL decreased successively at 3 months after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Preoperative angle kappa was positively correlated with postoperative 3-month IOL tilt ( r=0.554, P<0.001).Preoperative angle alpha was positively correlated with postoperative 3-month IOL tilt ( r=0.469, P<0.001).The multiple linear regression model constructed with preoperative angle kappa and preoperative angle alpha as independent variables and IOL tilt as dependent variable was statistically significant ( F=39.526, P<0.001, R2=0.384).For every 1 mm increase in preoperative angle kappa, postoperative tilt will increase by 0.438°; for every 1 mm increase in preoperative angle alpha, postoperative tilt will increase by 0.300°. Conclusions:All four IOLs with different haptic designs have good horizontal centering stability.The plate-haptic and the four-haptic IOLs have superior vertical stability compared to L-haptic and modified C-haptic designs.Preoperative angles kappa and alpha can be used as indicators to predict postoperative IOL tilt.
