ObjectiveTo observe the analgesic efficacy and safety of Qihuang acupuncture theory combined with opioid analgesics in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. MethodsPatients with moderate to severe cancer pain from lung cancer were randomly divided into Qihuang acupuncture group and control group， with 33 cases in each group. The control group was treated with long-acting opioid analgesics at maintenance doses and supplementary analgesic medications as needed. In case of breakthrough pain， short-acting opioids were used for rescue. The Qihuang acupuncture group received Qihuang acupuncture treatment in addition to the treatment used in the control group， administered once every other day， with 3 sessions constituting one treatment course. The treatment duration for both groups was 5 days. The primary outcome was the change in pain intensity， measured using the numerical rating scale （NRS） before and after treatment， and the NRS change rate was calculated. Secondary endpoints included the daily NRS change rate， the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group （ECOG） Performance Status （PS） score， the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire （EORTC QLQ-C30） score， and the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose. Laboratory tests， including routine blood， urine， stool， liver function， and kidney function， were performed before and after treatment. Adverse events were recorded throughout the trial. ResultsAll patients completed the trial， and both groups showed a decrease in average NRS scores and PS scores after treatment， with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing lower average NRS scores and PS scores than the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the NRS change rate in the Qihuang acupuncture group was （0.42±0.17）， significantly higher than that in the control group （0.14±0.27， P＜0.01）. The daily NRS change rate during treatment was also higher in the Qihuang acupuncture group compared to the control group （P＜0.01）. The Qihuang acupuncture group showed an increase in overall health status and functional scores in the EORTC QLQ-C30， and a decrease in symptom scores for fatigue， nausea and vomiting， pain， dyspnea， insomnia， appetite loss， constipation， and financial difficulties. In contrast， overall health status and constipation scores in the control group increased， while scores of fatigue， nausea and vomiting， pain， and appetite loss decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the 24-hour equivalent hydrocodone sustained-release tablet dose did not show significant difference in the Qihuang acupuncture group （P＞0.05）， while the control group showed a significant increase in the 24-hour dose （P＜0.01）. No significant abnormalities were observed in laboratory tests before and after treatment in either group. During the study， the incidence of nausea and vomiting as well as constipation in the Qihuang acupuncture group was both 3.03% （1/33）， while the incidence in the control group was 27.27% （9/33） and 36.36% （12/33）， respectively， with the Qihuang acupuncture group showing significantly lower incidence （P＜0.01）. No serious adverse reactions were observed in either group. ConclusionQihuang acupuncture therapy combined with opioid analgesics is more effective than using opioids alone in relieving pain in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain due to lung cancer. It can improve the patients' physical condition and quality of life， reduce the dose of opioid analgesics， and has good safety.

Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogen-associated biomarkers is vital for the early diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infections.Herein,we developed a close-packed and ordered Au@AgPt array coupled with a cascade triggering strategy for surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)and colorimetric identification of the Staphylococcus aureus biomarker micrococcal nuclease(MNase)in serum samples.The trimetallic Au@AgPt nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)molecules to SERS-enhanced oxidized TMB(oxTMB),accompanied by the color change from colorless to blue.In the presence of S.aureus,the secreted MNase preferentially cut the nucleobase AT-rich regions of DNA sequences on magnetic beads(MBs)to release alkaline phosphatase(ALP),which subsequently mediated the oxTMB reduction for inducing the colorimetric/SERS signal fade away.Using this"on-to-off"triggering strategy,the target S.aureus can be recorded in a wide linear range with a limit of detection of 38 CFU/mL in the colorimetric mode and 6 CFU/mL in the SERS mode.Meanwhile,the MNase-mediated strategy characterized by high specificity and sensitivity successfully discriminated between patients with sepsis(n=7)and healthy participants(n=3),as well as monitored the prog-nostic progression of the disease(n=2).Overall,benefiting from highly active and dense"hot spot"substrate,MNase-mediated cascade response strategy,and colorimetric/SERS dual-signal output,this methodology will offer a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of S.aureus infection.

Hydroxychloroquine is a classical antimalarial agent that has been widely used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis due to its notable anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. In recent years，increasing attention has been paid to the therapeutic potential of hydroxychloroquine in immune-related kidney diseases，including lupus nephritis，IgA nephropathy，and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although clinical studies have shown encouraging results，the underlying mechanisms of hydroxychloroquine remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence suggests that hydroxychloroquine may exert renal protective effects through multiple immunoregulatory pathways. These include inhibition of lysosomal acidification and autophagy，modulation of innate immune signaling via Toll-like receptors，suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activation，and reduction of NADPH oxidase activity and oxidative stress. Moreover，hydroxychloroquine can downregulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6，tumor necrosis factor-alpha（TNF-α），and interferon-α（IFN-α），contributing to a reduction in renal inflammation. Additional mechanisms involve the modulation of the Th17/Treg cell balance and the inhibition of neutrophil extracellular trap formation，which further supports its role in modulating immune responses，attenuating renal inflammation，and preserving kidney function. This article provides a concise review of the mechanisms of hydroxychloroquine in immune-related renal diseases.

AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)combined with fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling and silicone oil(SO)tamponade for treating pathological myopic foveoschisis(PMF).METHODS:This study is a retrospective observational analysis of 10 cases(10 eyes)diagnosed with PMF that underwent PPV with fovea-sparing ILM peeling and SO tamponade between January 2023 and November 2024. The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central foveal thickness(CFT), foveoschisis(FS), and the detachment and reattachment of FS and macular fovea were assessed preoperatively and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively.RESULTS:Among the 10 cases of PMF patients(10 eyes), the complete reattachment rate was 30%(3 eyes), while partial reattachment was observed in 70%(7 eyes). At 3 mo postoperatively, BCVA(LogMAR)was significantly improved to 0.957±0.393 compared with 1.432±0.509 before surgery(P<0.05), and both CFT(437.9±180.4 vs. 207.5±76.1 μm)and FS(686.5±172.2 vs. 290.7±86.6 μm)showed significant decreases(P<0.05). No complications such as macular hole, retinal detachment, silicone oil emulsification, or endophthalmitis were observed during the surgery or throughout the follow-up period.CONCLUSION:PPV with SO tamponade and fovea-sparing ILM peeling has been demonstrated to facilitate both visual acuity improvement and anatomical reattachment in cases of PMF.

Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogen-associated biomarkers is vital for the early diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infections. Herein, we developed a close-packed and ordered Au@AgPt array coupled with a cascade triggering strategy for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and colorimetric identification of the Staphylococcus aureus biomarker micrococcal nuclease (MNase) in serum samples. The trimetallic Au@AgPt nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) molecules to SERS-enhanced oxidized TMB (oxTMB), accompanied by the color change from colorless to blue. In the presence of S. aureus, the secreted MNase preferentially cut the nucleobase AT-rich regions of DNA sequences on magnetic beads (MBs) to release alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which subsequently mediated the oxTMB reduction for inducing the colorimetric/SERS signal fade away. Using this "on-to-off" triggering strategy, the target S. aureus can be recorded in a wide linear range with a limit of detection of 38 CFU/mL in the colorimetric mode and 6 CFU/mL in the SERS mode. Meanwhile, the MNase-mediated strategy characterized by high specificity and sensitivity successfully discriminated between patients with sepsis (n = 7) and healthy participants (n = 3), as well as monitored the prognostic progression of the disease (n = 2). Overall, benefiting from highly active and dense "hot spot" substrate, MNase-mediated cascade response strategy, and colorimetric/SERS dual-signal output, this methodology will offer a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of S. aureus infection.

Objective:To explore the different categories of home-based functional exercise adherence in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), identify the influencing factors, and provide a reference for the development of personalized intervention strategies.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling to select 320 patients who underwent unilateral primary TKA at The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between November 2022 and January 2023. The Orthopedic Functional Exercise Compliance Scale, Rehabilitation Self-Efficacy Scale, and Social Support Rating Scale were used for data collection. Latent profile analysis was employed to identify the latent characteristics of home-based functional exercise adherence in TKA patients. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors among different subgroups.Results:A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, with 307 valid responses, yielding a recovery rate of 95.94%. The 307 patients were classified into three latent profile categories based on their characteristics: low adherence group (29.32%, 90/307), moderate adherence group (46.58%, 143/307), and high adherence group (24.10%, 74/307). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the number of comorbidities, marital status, home rehabilitation environment, pain score, education level, social support, and rehabilitation self-efficacy were influencing factors for home-based exercise adherence in TKA patients ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Home-based functional exercise adherence in TKA patients can be categorized into three latent profiles. Healthcare providers should implement targeted interventions based on the specific characteristics of each patient, with a focus on those with low adherence, to enhance their compliance with home-based exercises.

Objective To analyze the CT signs of acute blunt or penetrating intestinal injury,and to improve the diagnostic accuracy of multi spiral CT for intestinal injury.Methods The CT and clinical data of 63 patients with intestinal injury confirmed by clinical surgical exploration who underwent emergency CT scan were collected,and the CT findings and surgical findings were comparatively analyzed.Results There were 63 cases of intestinal injury,of which 26 cases were complicated with mesenteric injury.The direct CT signs of intestinal injury included intestinal wall thickening sign and intestinal discontinuity sign,which accounted for 64%(40/63)and 17%(10/63),respectively.The indirect CT signs of intestinal injury included intraperitoneal/retroperitoneal gas sign,intraperitoneal/retroperitoneal effusion sign,intramural air,and portal venous gas,which accounted for 72%(45/63),88%(55/63),7%(5/63)and 5%(3/63),respectively.Conclusion Recognizing the CT signs of intestinal injury,such as intestinal wall thickening sign,intestinal discontinuity sign,intraperitoneal/retroperitoneal gas sign,intraperitoneal/retroperitoneal effusion sign,intramural air,and portal venous gas can help to make the early and correct diagnosis of intestinal injury if combined with clinical practice.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the risk factors associated with chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) .Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL, from their inception to December 31, 2023. Clinical studies reporting risk factors for chronic pain after TKA were included. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 to assess the influencing factors of chronic pain following TKA.Results:A total of 20 studies were included in the analysis. The Meta-analysis revealed that female, low educational level, preoperative anxiety and depression, preoperative pain, postoperative acute pain, and central sensitization were significant risk factors for chronic pain after TKA ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Chronic pain after TKA is influenced by a variety of factors. Healthcare professionals should address these identified risk factors and take timely preventive measures. However, the conclusions drawn are limited by the quality of the included studies, and further high-quality research is needed for verification.
