As a serious cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis (AS) causes chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in the body and poses a threat to human health. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a member of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) family, and its elevated levels have been shown to contribute to AS. Lp-PLA2 is closely related to a variety of lipoproteins, and its role in promoting inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in AS is mainly achieved by hydrolyzing oxidized phosphatidylcholine (oxPC) to produce lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC). Moreover, macrophage apoptosis within plaque is promoted by localized Lp-PLA2 which also promotes plaque instability. This paper reviews those researches of Chinese medicine in treating AS via reducing Lp-PLA2 levels to guide future experimental studies and clinical applications related to AS.

Objective To compare the value of transvaginal ultrasound, 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning alone and in combination for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, so as to provide insights into early screening of ectopic pregnancy. Methods This study enrolled a total of 130 patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy admitted to Dachuan People’s Hospital in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province, China between February 2019 and December 2022. All patients underwent transvaginal ultrasound examination and 3.0T MRI scanning. The consistency of transvaginal ultrasound and 3.0T MRI with clinical diagnostic results was evaluated with surgical pathology or clinical follow-up results as the golden standards. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound and 3.0T MRI, alone and in combination, were compared for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Results Of the 130 patients with suspected ectopic pregnancy, 108 cases were confirmed with ectopic pregnancy by surgical pathology, and 22 cases were confirmed without ectopic pregnancy by clinical follow-up. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound were 85.19% (92/108), 54.55% (12/22), and 80.00% (104/130), respectively, with 0.358 consistency with clinical diagnostic results. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 3.0T MRI were 92.59% (100/108), 81.81% (18/22), and 90.77% (118/130), respectively, with 0.694 consistency with clinical diagnostic results. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI were 98.15% (106/108), 72.73% (16/22), and 93.85% (122/130), respectively, with 0.764 consistency with clinical diagnostic results. In addition, the sensitivity and accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI were significantly higher than transvaginal ultrasound alone for diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy (χ² = 11.88 and 10.96, both P < 0.01). Conclusion Transvaginal ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI may provide more diagnostic information for ectopic pregnancy, and is highly consistent with the clinical diagnostic results. In addition, transvaginal ultrasound combined with 3.0T MRI improves the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy for ectopic pregnancy than transvaginal ultrasound alone.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy during cytoreductive surgery in epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods A total of 17 patients from Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University and the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China(Anhui Provincial Hospital)received splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy during cytoreductive surgery in EOC were recruited.Their clinicopathological characteristics,postoperative complications and survival situation were retrospective analyzed.Results Of the 17 patients,there were 13 primary cases and 4 recurrent cases.Eleven cases(64.7%)had preoperative imaging finding with metastatic lesions in the splenic hilum,among whom 6 cases had distal pancreas metastasis during the operation.The drainage was placed in the splenic fossa for the measurement of amylase levels in drain fluid and was removed after 8(3-12)days.There were 4 patients had postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF)of grade A,3 patients had POPF of grade B and no POPF of grade C occurred.The 2 patients with POPF of grade B improved after percutaneous drainage,and the rest recovered with somatostatin,antibiotic drugs and medicines without perioperative mortality.The interval between surgery to chemotherapy was 17.5(13-37)days.The median follow-up time was 14(4-64)months and the median progression-free survival was 10(5-32)months.Conclusion Splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy as part of cytoreduction surgery in EOC is needed for optimal resection,and the complication of pancreatic fistula could be managed conservatively.

Objective To explore the relationship and internal path between activities of daily living(ADL),sleep quality and mental health of community elderly people in Shanghai.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among community residents aged 60 years and older seeing doctors in community health care center of five streets in Shanghai during Sept to Dec,2021 using convenience sampling.Activities of Daily Living(ADL),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)were adopted in the survey.Single factor analysis,correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.The effect relationship between the variables was tested using Bootstrap's mediated effects test.Results A total of 1 864 participants were included in the study.The average score was 15.53±4.47 for ADL,5.60±3.71 for PSQI and 15.50±6.28 for K10.The rate of ADL impairment,poor sleep quality,poor and very poor mental health of the elderly were 23.6%,27.3%,11.9%and 4.9%,respectively.ADL and sleep quality were all positively correlated with mental health(r=0.321,P＜0.001;r=0.466,P＜0.001);ADL was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.294,P＜0.001).Multiple linear results of factors influencing mental health showed that ADL(β= 0.457,95%CI:0.341-0.573),sleep quality(β =0.667,95%CI:0.598-0.737)and mental health were positively correlated(P＜0.001).Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between ADL and mental health(95%CI:0.078-0.124)with an effect size of 33.0%.Conclusion Sleep quality is a mediator between ADL and mental health among community elderly people.Improving ADL and sleep quality may improve mental health in the population.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

AIM: To establish a method for quantitation of cefepime and avibactam in M-H broth, and applicated in the in vitro dynamic PK/PD model. METHODS: The cefepime was also determined using the high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC), the avibactam was also determined using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), an in vitro dynamic PK/PD model was established to study the PK/PD relationship of cefepime/avibactam against carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). RESULTS: The linear ranges of cefepime and avibactam were good at (0.5-20) and (0.1-25) μg/mL (r=0.999), and the lower limit concentrations were 0.5 and 0.1 μg/mL. The extraction recoveries of cefepime and avibactam in M-H broth were 88.0%-101.7% and 90.9%-95.2%, the relative standard deviation of intra-day precision and inter-day precision were less than 5.2%. The concentration-time curves were well simulated by the PK/PD model. All observed concentrations in each experiment were in the range of 20% of the targeted values. For the CRKP of MIC=8 μg/mL and MIC=16 μg/mL, the colony decreased to 2.783Log10 CFU/mL and 1.325Log10 CFU/mL at the cefepime/avibactam 2.5 g q8 h administration after 24 h. CONCLUSION: The determination method of cefepime and avibactam in broth established in this study has high sensitivity and good stability. For the CRKP with MIC≤8 μg/mL,cefepime/avibactam showed that good anti-CRKP activity under routine administration in vitro dynamic PK/PD model.
