ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with oral cholangiopancreatography in the treatment of major duodenal papilla gallbladder polyps. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of eight patients with choledocholithiasis and gallbladder polyps who underwent ERCP and combined with oral cholangiopancreatography for major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy in Center of Digestive Endoscopy, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May 2022 to June 2024, and related data were collected, including the success rate of surgery, the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal, the superselective method of cystic duct, the time of operation, the time of gallbladder polyp removal, and surgical complications. ResultsBoth the success rate of surgery and the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal reached 100%, and of all eight patients, three patients used guide wire to enter the gallbladder under direct view, while five patients received oral cholangiopancreatography to directly enter the gallbladder. The time of operation was 51.88±12.34 minutes, and the time of gallbladder polyp removal was 23.13±10.94 minutes. The diameter of gallbladder polyp was 2 — 8 mm, and pathological examination showed inflammatory polyps in three patients, adenomatous polyps in one patient, and cholesterol polyps in four patients. There were no complications during or after surgery. The patients were followed up for 2 — 27 months after surgery, and no recurrence of gallbladder polyp was observed. ConclusionOral cholangiopancreatography is technically safe and feasible in endoscopic major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of action of Lifei Xiaoji Pill (理肺消积丸, LXP) in the treatment of non small cell lung cancer based on the Warburg effect and the USP47/BACH1 pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups, model group, LXP group, inhibitor group, LXP + inhibitor group, and cisplatin group, with 10 mice in each group. A lung cancer mouse model was established by subcutaneously injecting Lewis cells. On the next day, the model group mice were given 0.2 ml of saline by gavage daily, the LXP group given 240 mg/(kg·d) of LXP solution once a day by gavage, the inhibitor group intraperitoneally injected with P22077 at a dose of 10 mg/(kg·d) every day, the LXP + inhibitor group given both LXP by gavage and P22077 by intraperitoneal injection once a day, and the cisplatin group received 0.5 mg/(kg·d) cisplatin intraperitoneally every other day. All treatments lasted for 14 days. On the day after the last dose, tumor weight and volume were measured, tumor histopathology was examined by HE staining, apoptosis in tumor tissues was detected by TUNEL staining, and proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry. Warburg effect indicators, including glucose concentration, lactate content, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in tumor tissues, were measured. Western Blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expression levels of USP47, BACH1, hexokinase 2 (HK2), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). ResultsCompared with the model group, all drug intervention groups showed reduced tumor weight and volume, improved tumor pathology, decreased PCNA positive rate, increased apoptosis rate, and reduced expression levels of USP47, BACH1, and HK2 proteins and mRNA (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Except for lactate content in the cisplatin group, the glucose concentration in tumor tissues of other drug intervention groups increased, while lactate content and ATP production decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the LXP group, the LXP + inhibitor group showed more significant improvements in these indicators (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the cisplatin group, the LXP + inhibitor group had lower mRNA expression of HK2 and GAPDH, and lower protein levels of USP47 and HK2 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the inhibitor group, the cisplatin group had higher HK2 protein levels, while the LXP + inhibitor group showed lower mRNA expression of BACH1, HK2, and GAPDH (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionLXP significantly inhibits tumor growth in lung cancer mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to inhibiting the Warburg effect via the USP47/BACH1 pathway.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD) administration on the malignant behavior of PLC/PRF/5 liver cancer cells, and analyze the correlation between SOD and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) expression, to provide new ideas for targeting AFP with SOD as a drug for hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS Normal human liver cells L-02, AFP- negative human liver cancer cells HLE, and AFP-positive human liver cancer cells PLC/PRF/5 were used as experimental cells. Western blot assay and SOD activity detection kit were used to detect the expression of AFP, SOD and activity of SOD in cells before and after changing AFP expression; the effects of different concentrations of SOD [0 (control), 0.188, 0.375, 0.75, 1.5, 3 U/mL] administration on the migration and proliferation of PLC/PRF/5 cells were detected using cell scratch assay and CCK-8 assay. The effects of SOD overexpression on the expression of malignant biological behavior-related proteins AFP and sarcoma virus protein (Src) in PLC/PRF/5 cells were detected using Western blot. RESULTS Compared with L-02 group and HLE group, the expression levels of SOD1 and SOD2, and SOD activity in PLC/PRF/5 cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05). After down-regulating AFP expression in PLC/PRF/ 5 cells, compared with PLC/PRF/5 group, the expression levels of SOD1 and SOD2, as well as SOD activity, were significantly increased in the PLC/PRF/5-shAFP group (low-expression) (P<0.05). After 48 hours of SOD treatment, compared with control group, the scratch healing rates of PLC/PRF/5 cells in the 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 U/mL SOD groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05); after 72 hours of SOD treatment, compared with control group, the scratch healing rates of PLC/PRF/5 cells in the 0.375, 0.75, and 1.5 U/mL SOD groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with control group, proliferation rates of PLC/PRF/5 cells were significantly reduced in the 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 U/mL SOD groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the PLC/PRF/5 group before up-regulating SOD1 and SOD2 expression, the expression levels of AFP and Src in the PLC/PRF/5-oeSOD1 and PLC/PRF/5-oeSOD2 groups (over-expression) after up-regulating SOD1 and SOD2 expression were significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS A certain concentration of SOD can inhibit malignant behavior such as migration and proliferation of PLC/PRF/5 cells, and the expression level and activity of SOD are negatively correlated with AFP.

OBJECTIVE To establish refined medication rules for parenteral nutrition (PN) and evaluate its effectiveness. METHODS Refined medication rules for PN were constructed based on drug instructions, relevant guidelines, and expert consensus. Through the pre-approval review system of prescription automatic screening system (PASS), PN prescription information for inpatients from January to December 2024 (referred to as “post-intervention”) was collected to analyze the post- intervention prescription review status. PN prescription information for inpatients at our hospital from January to December 2023 and January to December 2024 was collected through the medical order review system to evaluate the rationality rates of PN prescriptions. RESULTS The established refined medication rules for PN included system module rules (including nutrients, drug compatibility, PN concentration and osmotic pressure) and custom review rules (covering off-label drug use, drug compatibility, and other drug use conditions). As of December 2024, the PASS pre-approval review system had established a total of 102 rules, comprising 55 system module rules and 47 custom review rules for PN. After intervention, when comparing with the first quarter of 2024, the number of PN reviewed and intervened by pharmacists decreased, the pharmacist intervention rate dropped, while the rate of physician modifications following pharmacist intervention increased in the fourth quarter. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the system module rules were irrational PN concentration and osmotic pressure. The primary types of irrational prescriptions identified by the custom review rules were off-label drug use (specifically indications for amino acids) and irrational drug incompatibility. In 2024, the number of false-positive tasks and the false-positive rate initially increased and then decreased, while both the number of irrational prescriptions identified through manual review and the false-negative rate showed a declining trend. In 2024, the overall rationality rate after manual review PN refined medication rules for PN medical order review system significantly increased compared to that in 2023 (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The refined medication rules for PN in our hospital were established successfully, which can reduce the PN-induced risks and significantly improve the rationality of PN prescriptions.

Results:
From 2021 to 2024, a total of 167 524 injury cases were reported in Longhua District, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.89∶1. The incidence of injuries was higher in cases aged 30-<45 years (49 957 cases, 29.82%). Injuries mainly occurred from July to August (31 272 cases, 18.67%). The main cause of injury was falls (52 048 cases, 31.07%). Injuries mainly occurred at home (64 110 cases, 38.27%). Leisure activities were the main activities when injuries occurred (79 008 cases, 47.16%). Most of the injuries were unintentional (159 173 cases, 95.02%). The main type of injury was contusion/abrasion (71 900 cases, 42.92%). The main injury site was upper limb (64 247 cases, 38.35%). Most injuries were mild (131 369 cases, 78.42%). The main injury outcome was discharge after treatment, 160 882 cases (96.04%). The second cause of male injury was blunt force injury (30 140 cases, 27.49%), and the second cause of female injury was animal injury (14 648 cases, 25.31%). Fall was the leading cause of injury in people aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years, and blunt force injury was the leading cause of injury in people aged 15-<65 years. The second place for male injuries was industrial and construction places (23 722 cases, 21.64%), and for female injuries was school/public places (9 644 cases, 16.66%). The first place for injuries in people aged 45-<65 years was in industrial and construction places.

Objective:
To uncover the underlying mechanisms of action of the Yinlai decoction on high-calorie diet-induced pneumonia through proteomics analysis.
Methods:
Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, lung tissue samples from normal and high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice in the GSE16377 dataset were selected as test cohorts to identify differentially expressed genes and conduct bioinformatics analyses. In the animal experiments, mice were randomly divided into the control (N), high-calorie diet pneumonia (M), and Yinlai decoction treatment (Y) groups. Mice in the M group received high-calorie feed and a 0.5 mg/mL lipopolysaccharide solution spray for 30 min for 3 d. The mice in the Y group were intragastrically administered 2 mL/10 g Yinlai decoction twice daily for 3 d. Pathological evaluation of the lung tissue was performed. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the lung tissue were identified using quantitative proteomics and bioinformatics analyses. The drug-target relationships between Yinlai decoction and core DEPs in the lung tissue were verified using AutoDock Vina and Molecular Graphics Laboratory (MGL) Tools. DEPs were verified by western blot.
Results:
GEO data mining showed that an HFD altered oxidative phosphorylation in mouse lung tissue. The Yinlai decoction alleviated pathological damage to lung tissue and pneumonia in mice that were fed a high-calorie diet. A total of 47 DEPs were identified between the Y and M groups. Enrichment analysis revealed their association with energy metabolism pathways such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and oxidative phosphorylation. The protein-protein interaction network revealed that Atp5a1, Pdha1, and Sdha were the target proteins mediating the therapeutic effects of Yinlai decoction. Molecular docking results suggested that the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of Yinlai decoction involves the binding of brassinolide, praeruptorin B, chrysoeriol, and other components in Yinlai decoction to Atp5a1.
Conclusion
The Yinlai decoction alleviated lung tissue damage and pneumonia in mice that were fed a high-calorie diet by regulating the TCA and oxidative phosphorylation. Our study highlights the importance of a healthy diet for patients with pneumonia and provides a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of pneumonia through dietary adjustments.

ObjectiveTo describe the epidemic characteristics of COVID-19 after policy adjustment from “Category B notifiable disease with category A management” to “Category B notifiable disease with category B management”, and to explore the protective effect of previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 on common symptoms of reinfection. MethodsHealthcare workers infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a grade A tertiary hospital in Shanghai were included in the study from December 4, 2022 to January 11, 2023. Data on demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, medical history, and COVID-19 vaccination history were collected. We determined the epidemiological curve and characteristics, and then compared the difference in the severity of clinical symptoms between primary and reinfection subjects. ResultsA total of 2 704 cases were included in the study, of which 45 had reinfection, 605 (22.4%)were males, 608 (22.5%)were doctors, 1 275 (47.2%) were nurses, and 2 351 (86.9%) received ≥3 doses of COVID-19 vaccination. The average age of these healthcare workers was (34.9±9.1) years old. The number of cases with mild/moderate illness, asymptomatic infection, fever, headache, dry cough, expectoration, and chest tightness were 2 704 (100.0%), 92 (3.4%), 2 385 (88.2%), 2 066 (76.4%), 1 642 (60.7%), 1 807 (66.8%), and 439 (16.2%), respectively. Reinfection was a protective factor for fever (OR=0.161, P<0.001), headache (OR=0.320, P<0.001), and peak body temperature (β=-0.446, P<0.001). ConclusionFollowing the COVID-19 policy adjustment as a category B notifiable disease, healthcare workers at a grade A tertiary hospital in Shanghai predominantly experiences mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms. Reinfection results in milder clinical manifestations, with a lower proportion of being asymptomatic.
