ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms by which the combination of berberine （BBR） and baicalin （BAI） ameliorates type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） due to internal accumulation of dampness-heat from the perspectives of gut microbiota and metabolomics. MethodsAntibiotics were used to induce pseudo-sterile mice. Thirty pseudo-sterile mice were randomized into a normal fecal microbiota transplantation group （n=10） and a T2DM （syndrome of internal accumulation of dampness-heat） fecal microbiota transplantation group （n=20）. The mice were then administrated with suspensions of fecal microbiota from healthy volunteers and a patient with T2DM due to internal accumulation of dampness-heat by gavage， respectively. Each mouse received 200 µL suspension every other day for a total of 15 times to reshape the gut microbiota. The T2DM model mice were then assigned into a model group （n=8） and a BBR-BAI group （n=11）. BBR was administrated at a dose of 200 mg·kg^-1， and BAI was administrated in a ratio of BBR-BAI 10∶1 based on preliminary research findings. The administration lasted for 8 consecutive weeks. Fasting blood glucose （FBG）， glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c）， insulin （INS）， triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （CHOL）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and alanine aminotransferase （ALT） levels were measured to evaluate the effects of the BBR-BAI combination on glucose and lipid metabolism and liver function in T2DM mice. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe pathological changes in the colon tissue. The expression of claudin-1， zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1）， and occludin in the colon tissue was determined by Western blot. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） was employed to assess the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in the colon tissue. The fecal microbiota composition and differential metabolites were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， respectively. ResultsThe BBR-BAI combination lowered the FBG， HbA1c， and INS levels （P<0.05， P<0.01） and alleviated insulin resistance （P<0.01） in T2DM mice. Additionally， BBR-BAI elevated the levels of ZO-1， occludin， and claudin-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and down-regulated the expression levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the colon （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that BBR-BAI increased the relative abundance of Ligilactobacillus， Phascolarctobacterium， and Akkermansia （P<0.05）， while significantly decreasing the relative abundance of Alistipes， Odoribacter， and Colidextribacter （P<0.05）. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS identified 28 differential metabolites， which were primarily involved in arachidonic acid metabolism and α-linolenic acid metabolism. ConclusionBBR-BAI can ameliorate T2DM due to internal accumulation of dampness-heat by modulating the relative abundance of various bacterial genera in the gut microbiota and the expression of fecal metabolites.

Objective To investigate the effect of remimazolam on core body temperature(CBT)and thermoregulatory vasoconstriction in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods 90 gynaecology patients with ovarian or cervical cancer from Jan 2024 to Jun 2024 were randomly divided into experimental group(group R)and control group(group C).45 patients in each group were induced and maintained with remimazolam or propofol.After induction of anesthesia,the CBT and mean skin temperature(MST)were continuously monitored using a nasopharyngeal temperature probe and a skin temperature probe respectively.Record CBT and MST of two groups of patients before surgery(T0),30 min(T1),60 min(T2),90 min(T3),120 min(T4),150 min(T5),180 min(T6)after induction of anesthesia and at extubation(T7),as well as forearm-fingertip temperature gradient(TFOR-FIN).Record vasoconstriction threshold and time to onset of vasoconstriction by TFOR-TIN.Record the changes in mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),and cardiac index(CI)at each time point(T0,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6 and T7 time point);Record the incidence of hypothermia,hypotension and bradycardia and the use of vasoactive drugs.Results Compared with T0 time point,the CBT and TFOR-TIN at T1 to T7 time point decreased significantly,but the MST increased(P<0.05);In group C,the CBT at T1 to T5 decreased significantly than in group R(P<0.05);Compared with group C,MST in group R increased significantly at time T1 to T7(P<0.05).The vasoconstriction threshold in group R was significantly higher than that in group C,and the time to reach the vasoconstriction threshold was significantly less than that in group C(P<0.05).Compared with T0 time point,MAP and CI at T1,T2,T3 time point decreased significantly in two groups,MAP and CI at T1,T2,T3 time point in group R were higher than those in group C(P<0.05);Compared with group R,the incidence of perioperative hypothermia(PH)and hypotension and the utilization rate of ephedirine in group C were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Remimazolam and propofol for gynecological laparoscopic general anesthesia can cause intraoperative temperature drop in patients,compared with propofol,remimazolam general anesthesia has less influence on CBT,more stable hemodynamics,less influence on thermoregulatory vasoconstriction,less degree of diastolic blood vessels,has better body temperature protection.

Objective:To clarify the changes in incidence and mortality of various cancers based on analysis on registration data of malignant tumor incidence and mortality from Dehui City and Yanji City in Jilin Province.Methods:The incidence and mortality data of malignant tumors from 2009 to 2016 in Dehui City and Yanji City in Jilin Province,were collected from the Chinese Cancer Registry Annual Report published by the National Cancer Center.The number of cases,deaths,crude incidence rate,crude mortality rate,age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR),age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),and annual percentage change(APC)of the malignant tumors were analyzed by cancer sites and genders.Results:From 2009 to 2016,the CIR of malignant tumors in Dehui City(APC=1.2%,P=0.019)and Yanji City(APC=3.6%,P=0.058)showed an increasing trend.After standard population age adjustment,the ASIR in males in Dehui City showed a significant decline(APC=-5.7%,P=0.021),while the ASIR in females exhibited an overall downward trend,but the difference was not significant(APC=-2.2%,P=0.111).In Yanji City,the ASIR in males(APC=-1.4%,P=0.535)and females(APC=0.0%,P=0.988)showed no significant changes.The CMR of malignant tumors in Dehui City(APC=1.9%,P=0.001)and Yanji City(APC=5.9%,P=0.001)showed a continuous upward trend.After age-standardization,the ASMR in males(APC=-3.1%,P=0.100)and females(APC=-4.2%,P=0.053)in Dehui City,as well as in males(APC=-1.3%,P=0.438)in Yanji City,showed a slight downward trend.Although the ASMR in females in Yanji City showed a slight increase,the difference was not statistically significant(APC=0.5%,P=0.838).In 2016,the most common malignant tumor in terms of both incidence and mortality in Dehui City was lung cancer,with a CIR of 60.76/100 000 and a CMR of 46.96/100 000.In Yanji City,the most common malignant tumor was liver cancer,with a CIR of 49.04/100 000 and a CMR of 51.09/100 000.Conclusion:Lung cancer,liver cancer,and gastric cancer are the major malignant tumors threatening residents in Dehui City,Yanji City,and even the entire Jilin Province,and should be prioritized in cancer prevention and control efforts.Early diagnosis and treatment should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the timing of minimally invasive puncture drainage and the outcome of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) in the basal ganglia region.Methods:Patients with HICH in the basal ganglia region underwent minimally invasive puncture and drainage at Hanchuan People's Hospital from January 2019 to September 2023 were selected. According to the timing of surgery, the patients were divided into onset to surgery time ≤12-hour group and >12-hour group. According to the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days after onset, they were divided into a good outcome group (0-2) and a poor outcome group (>2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent influencing factors of functional outcome. Results:A total of 150 patients were included, with 78 males (52.00%), aged 53.15±4.35 years (range, 40-75 years). Eighty-six patients (57.33%) underwent surgery within 12 hours after onset, while 64 (42.67%) underwent surgery after 12 hours; 97 patients (64.67%) had good outcome, while 53 (35.33%) had poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that compared with the onset to surgery time ≤12-hour group, the onset to surgery time >12-hour group had a longer time from onset to admission, a larger postoperative hematoma volume, longer hospitalization time, lower postoperative hematoma clearance rate, and a higher proportion of patients with poor outcome and deaths within 90 days (all P<0.05). Compared with the good outcome group, the poor outcome group had a longer time from onset to admission, higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, larger baseline and postoperative hematoma volumes, and a higher proportion of patients with onset to surgery time >12 hours. However, the postoperative hematoma clearance rate, baseline Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and the proportion of patients with baseline GCS score >8 was lower in the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [ OR] 1.847, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.362-2.503; P=0.001) and the time from onset to surgery >12 hours (compared with ≤12 hours: OR 1.347, 95% CI 1.058-1.715; P=0.016) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome, while higher baseline GCS scores ( OR 0.723, 95% CI 0.558-0.937; P=0.006) and higher postoperative hematoma clearance rates ( OR 0.615, 95% CI 0.462-0.819; P=0.004) were the independent protective factors for good outcome. Conclusion:In patients with HICH in basal ganglia, it is ideal to perform minimally invasive puncture and drainage within 12 h after onset, and the postoperative recovery is relatively better.

Objective To identify the key factors affecting the risk of medical surges and their coupling relation5 ships,providing strategic support for medical institutions to optimize risk management and emergency governance.Methods 17 influencing factors were determined based on WSR theory,and an expert scoring method was employed to assess the impact strength among the factors.The DEMATEL method was applied to calculate the centrality,cau5 sality,influence,and being influenced degrees of the influencing factors.The ISM method was used to construct a hierarchical structure of the influencing factors related to medical surge risks,thereby revealing the connections and interaction mechanisms among these factors.Results Seven critical influencing factors were identified,including the crisis decision-making capacity and leadership effectiveness of emergency managers,the completeness of the emer5 gency system and dynamic execution capabilities,and the cross-departmental coordination mechanism and com5 mand collaboration efficiency.Deep driving factors and coupling pathways were also revealed.Conclusion The risk of medical surges exhibits multi-factorial coupling cascade effects;attention should be directed towards the construc5 tion of mid-to-deep level mechanisms such as information systems,institutional frameworks,and organizational management,to enhance targeted capabilities and systemic resilience in risk governance.

Objective To define the conceptual connotation of network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response and construct its theoretical model.Methods A mixed concept analysis method was employed,integrating multidisciplinary literature and collecting empirical evidence through semi-structured expert interviews to extract the concept of network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response.By integrating complex systems,network science,synergetics,and dynamic capability theory,and combining the interview results,the study used the analogy of flood control in hydraulic engineering to develop a"network-dynamic-collaboration"triangular capacity theoretical model.Results It reveals one antecedents(sudden external shocks have led to an abnormal and continuous surge in medical demand),six core attributes(information interconnection accessibility,dynamic resource adaptability,risk perception responsiveness,multi-party collaborative interactivity,service process adaptability elasticity,and learning iterative evolution),and four consequences(mitigation of crowding risk,protection of service continuity,minimization of crisis spillover,and enhancement of system resilience)for the network dynamic collaboration capacity in medical surge response.The theoretical model elucidates the coupling mechanisms among network structural resilience,dynamic regulation processes,and collaborative co-evolution in resisting medical surge.Conclusion The new concept and theoretical model proposed in this study deepen the understanding of medical surge response system mechanisms and offer a theoretical framework and practical guidance for strengthening the full-chain resilience of health emergency systems.

Objective To empirically analyze multiple pathways for enhancing medical surge response capacity and provide useful references for improving the resilience of health systems.Methods A comprehensive theoretical analysis framework for improving medical surge response capacity was constructed based on the 4S theory and collaborative governance theory.68 interview texts on medical surge response capacity conducted in July 2024 were selected as analysis samples.Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis(fsQCA),7 conditional variables were selected from four dimensions:management system,information system,materials,and personnel to analyze their impact on medical surge response capacity.Results(1)A single conditional variable does not constitute a necessary condition for improving medical surge response capacity;(2)After the combination of conditions,8 specific configuration paths for capacity improvement were identified.Through systematic and comprehensive refinement,they were summarized into three modes of comprehensive configuration capacity improvement paths,namely:rapid response and collaborative operation mode,information empowerment and precise response mode,and resource conditions and resilience construction mode.Conclusion It is necessary to explore and construct systematic,combined,modularized and path-oriented capacity building strategies,refine the operational implementation paths for improving China's medical surge response capacity,target the linkage and configuration modes of different conditional variables,promote the formulation and implementation of modular construction schemes oriented by key capacity,and make efforts from multiple aspects to enhance the resilience of the health system.
