Objective:To develop a limb function exercise program for patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and provide theoretical guidance for clinical nursing staff.Methods:A research team was formed to systematically review domestic and international literature on functional exercise for ECMO patients, extracting relevant evidence to form the initial version of the limb function exercise program. From June to July 2023, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultations with 18 experts from three provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Shanxi. Based on the experts' feedback, the program items were revised to form the final version of the exercise program.Results:In the first round, 18 experts were consulted, with a valid response rate of 94.44% (17/18); in the second round, 17 experts participated, with a 100.00% (17/17) response rate. The expert authority coefficient was 0.859 in both rounds. The coefficient of variation for each level of indicator in the second round ranged from 0 to 0.160, and Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.092 to 0.130 ( P<0.01). The final ECMO patient limb function exercise program consisted of four primary indicators (preparation, assessment, exercise methods, and safety monitoring), 13 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The ECMO patient limb function exercise program developed in this study is scientifically sound and reliable, offering a reference and guidance for the implementation of limb function exercises for ECMO patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tumor-suppressing effect of Shenqi Yiliu prescription combined with cisplatin in hepatoma H22-bearing mice based on the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten （PTEN）/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） pathway. MethodH22-bearing mice were prepared and randomized into model group， cisplatin group， and cisplatin combined with high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription groups， with 10 mice in each group. Another 10 healthy mice were randomly selected as normal group. Shenqi Yiliu prescription was given by gavage with the high， medium， low dose of 54.06， 27.03， 13.515 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively， and cisplatin （2.5 mg·kg^-1） was administered by intraperitoneal injection， twice a week. Normal group and model group received normal saline. After 13 days of treatment， mice were killed and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. The pathomorphological changes of tumor were observed based on hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the content of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A （p21） and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B （p27） in tumor tissue of mice. The levels of PTEN， PI3K and phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt） in tumor tissue were measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription decreased tumor mass （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. Necrosis of the tumor tissue was observed in each group， especially the cisplatin combined with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription group. As compared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription raised the expression of p21， p27， and PTEN （P<0.05） and lowered the expression of PI3K and p-Akt （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription may regulate the expression of key molecules in PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thereby upregulating the expression of downstream proliferation inhibitors p21 and p27， further suppressing the tumor in H22-bearing mice， and enhancing the effect of chemotherapy.

Objective:To study the effects of Zuogui Pills on the expressions of miR-133b-3p and RhoA in osteoclasts of postmenopausal osteoporosis rats; To discuss its potential mechanism.Methods:SD female rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, sham-operation group, and Zuogui Pills group using a random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. The model group and Zuogui Pills group were treated with oophorectomy to construct a rat model of osteoporosis. Zuogui Pills group was orally administered with Zuogui Pills decoction at a concentration of 10 g/kg for 12 consecutive weeks. Colorimetric method was used to measure the serum calcium and phosphorus levels of rats, and ELISA method was used to detect ALP levels. Bone density meter was used to measure the bone density of the femurs of rats in each group. The osteoclast of each group were cultured, and the expressions of RANKL and RUNX2 protein were detected by Western blot. MiRNA sequencing and differential expression analysis were performed on bone tissues of rats. Osteoclasts were treated with miR-133b-3p mimic and its negative control. The cell proliferation activity of osteoclasts was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The osteoclast differentiation activity was detected by the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. The dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the relationship between miR-133b-3p and RhoA. The "rescue" experiment of miR-133b-3p mimic and RhoA co-expression were used to study the molecular regulatory mechanism of Zuogui Pills on osteoclast activity.Results:Compared with the model group, the bone mineral density of Zuogui Pills group significantly increased ( P<0.05, P<0.01), the levels of calcium and phosphorus in serum increased, the level of alkaline phosphatase ALP decreased ( P<0.05), the expression of RANKL protein decreased, and the expression of RUNX2 protein increased. Sequencing results showed that rno-miR-133b-3p was down-regulated in osteoclasts of postmenopausa osteoporosis rats treated with Zuogui Pills with the maximum difference ( P<0.01). Q-PCR results showed that the expression of miR-133b-3p in osteoclasts of Zuogui Pills group was significantly lower than that of the model group. The upregulation of miR-133b-3p could significantly promote the cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts. RhoA overexpression could reverse the excessive proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts caused by miR-133b-3p overexpression. Conclusions:RhoA is the target gene regulated by miR-133b-3p. Zuogui Pills can inhibit the activity of osteoclasts by regulating miR-133b-3p/RhoA axis, relieving the symptoms of osteoporosis.

Objective:To explore the significance of four-dimensional CT angiography(4D CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in evaluating collateral circulation grades in patients with moyamoya disease and moyamoya syndrome and their relationship with cerebral hemodynamics.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 32 patients with moyamoya disease and moyamoya syndrome in Beijing Hospital from January 2017 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent 4D CTA-CTP imaging. Collateral circulation was scored on CTA images by using Alberta stroke program early CT score system, and on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images by using American society of interventional and therapeutic neuroradiology/Society of interventional radiology score system, respectively. The patients were divided into Ⅰ-Ⅲ circulation compensation grades based on collateral circulation score. Regions of interest were delineated at basal ganglia on perfusion maps and the perfusion parameters were obtained including cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), mean transit time (MTT), mean transit time (TTP) and delay time (DLY). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the perfusion parameters in different collateral circulation grades, and pairwise comparison was performed with Bonferroni correction. Kappa and Spearman tests were used to analyze the consistency and correlation of 4D CTA and DSA in the classification of collateral circulation.Results:4D CTA and DSA had a moderate consistency (Kappa=0.693, P<0.001) and a strong correlation ( r=0.805, P<0.001) in evaluating collateral grades. There were statistically significant differences in CBF, MTT and TTP among collateral compensation grade Ⅰ, grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ ( H values were 7.91, 11.69, 8.93; P values were 0.019, 0.003 and 0.012, respectively). Further pairwise comparison showed that the CBF of collateral compensation grade Ⅰ was lower than that of grade Ⅲ ( P=0.015), MTT of grade Ⅱ was higher than that of grade Ⅲ ( P=0.005), and TTP of grade Ⅰ was higher than that of grade Ⅲ ( P=0.015). There was no statistical significance of other indicators in pairwise comparison. There were no significant differences in CBV and DLY among collateral compensation grade Ⅰ, grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ ( P>0.05). Conclusions:4D CTA-CTP is equivalent to DSA in evaluating collateral circulation in patients with moyamoya disease and moyamoya syndrome. It can also evaluate the cerebral hemodynamics comprehensively, which has high clinical significance for disease monitoring.

Abstract Benzo [a] pyrene ( B [a] P ) is a well-recognized environmental pollutant. Exposure to B[a]P elicits many adverse biological effects, including tumorigenesis, immunosuppression, teratogenicity, and hormonal effects. In addition to B [a] P exposure-induced genetic damages, a growing number of studies demonstrate that epigenetic changes play an important role in chemically induced carcinogenesis. In order to provide better understanding of epigenetic changes of B [a] P and their potential association with genotoxic endpoints, this review summarizes the advances in the applications of functional genomics in the research of B [a] P toxicity, including functional genomics techniques, regulation of human genome expression, DNA sequence variability, model organisms research, and bioinformatics studies, so as to provide insights into the management of B [a] P exposure-induced health injuries and use of genomics techniques to unravel the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of other environmental pollutants.

Boiling is a common processing method of Chinese medicine. Based on the book of Summary of Processing Methods Data of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Past Dynasties， the authors consulted herbal books in all ages， combined with modern processing laws and regulations in various provinces and cities， the boiling methods and Chinese medicine varieties in ancient and modern times， judgment method of the endpoint of processing， as well as the study on boiling methods of representative Chinese medicines were compiled and analyzed. After sorting， it was found that the application of boiling methods began in the Han dynasty， enriched and developed in the Northern and Southern dynasties， Tang， Song and Yuan dynasties， and reached its heyday in the Ming and Qing dynasties. However， the number of modern boiling varieties decreased and mainly focused on toxic Chinese medicines or those that need to change or moderate their medicinal properties， indicating the development of boiling methods entered a stable period. The varieties of excipients used in the modern age mainly considered factors such as convenience of use and easy access， and the boiling degree， time and times were commonly used to judge the endpoint of boiling process. The main purposes of using boiling method for Chinese medicines were to remove impurities， remove non-medicinal parts， change or moderate the medicinal properties， and eliminate or reduce adverse reactions， which can provide a reference for carrying out the common research of boiling method for Chinese medicines.

Twenty general practice residents who received training in Tongren Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were enrolled. The residents undertook rotation in chronic disease care clinic of the general medicine department, and a multi-disciplinary integrated teaching mode was applied. The theoretical knowledge test, skill assessment and self-evaluation were performed before and after rotation. The 360-degree evaluation was carried out when leaving the department (study group), the results were compared with that of internal medicine (control group) in the same period. The teaching effect was comprehensively evaluated. The scores of theoretical knowledge and skill assessment after rotation were significantly higher than those before rotation ( P<0.01). The self-evaluated ability was significantly higher than that at admission, especially in general practice thinking (7.85±0.88), doctor-patient communication (7.95±0.69), health education (7.80±0.70) and disease management (8.20±0.62) ( P<0.01). The 360-degree evaluation showed that the study group was better than the control group in interpersonal communication skills [(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.41±0.50)], system-based work ability[(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.31±0.47)], practice-based learning and improvement [(4.80±0.41) vs. (4.33±0.48)], patient care [(4.75±0.44) vs. (4.28±0.46)] and training mode satisfaction [(4.85±0.37) vs. (4.38±0.49)] (all P<0.05). The study indicates that the multi-disciplinary integrated teaching mode applied for rotation in the chronic disease care clinic of the general medicine department can improve the teaching effect and raise the teaching quality for general practice residency training.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to essential hypertension (EH) in military secret service personnel.Methods:In October 2019, military secret service personnel (162 people) who were recuperating in a sanatorium from January to December 2017 were selected as the research subjects, all of whom were Han and male.

Objective:To summarize the case data of endometrial cancer (EC), analyze the related factors of lymph node metastasis, and establish the prediction model, so as to provide reference for clinical practice.Methods:191 patients with endometrial cancer who were diagnosed and treated in department of gynecology of Baoding Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. The demographic and surgical pathological information of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors of lymph node metastasis were analyzed by univariate and logistic regression analysis, and the predictive model was established.Results:A total of 191 patients with EC, aged 26-76(53.1±9.5)years old, body mass index (BMI)18.70-40.20(25.84±3.94)kg/m 2, 13 cases (6. 81%) had lymph node metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that lymph node metastasis was associated with obesity (BMI≥28 kg/m 2), pathological type (non endometrioid adenocarcinoma), degree of differentiation, depth of myometrial invasion (>1/2) and vascular invasion ( P<0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that low differentiation ( OR=9.475, 95% CI: 1.840-48.799), vascular invasion ( OR=6.614, 95% CI: 1.457-30.024) and deep muscle invasion ( OR=4.997, 95% CI: 1.342-18.600) were independent risk factors ( P<0.05). The regression equation: Logit P=-4.488+ 1.609× myometrial infiltration depth+ 1.889×vascular infiltration+ 2.249×degree of tissue differentiation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of EC lymph node metastasis probability P was 0.813 (95% CI: 0.688-0.938). The cut off value of 0.56 was ideal. At this time, the prediction sensitivity was 76.9% and the specificity was 79.2%. Conclusions:In clinical practice, gynecologists should consider the condition of EC patients and make operation plan to avoid over treatment or under treatment.
