ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Mailuoning compound solution in the treatment of hip joint pain via nerve blocks around the hip joint. MethodsFrom March 2015 to March 2019，a total of 136 patients with hip joint pain who met the inclusion criteria were admitted and divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table method. Among them，six cases fell off due to failure to complete five treatments，and finally， 130 patients entered clinical observation，with 65 cases in each group. The observation group used Mailuoning compound solution for nerve blocks around the hip joint（including obturator nerve，femoral nerve branch，superior gluteal nerve， and hip fascia）. The control used Mailuoning compound solution for a simple obturator nerve block. The differences in the visual analogue scale （VAS） and Harris score of hip joint of the two groups before and after treatment were observed. Any adverse drug reactions and adverse events during the treatment of the patients were recorded. ResultsThe VAS score of the two groups was significantly decreased after treatment （P<0.01）. The observation group had a more significant decrease compared to the control group（P<0.01）. The total Harris score of hip joint， pain degree，function score， and motion of joint of the two groups were significantly improved after treatment （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group，the improvement in the total Harris score of hip joint， pain degree，and function score was more significant in the observation group （P<0.01）. The clinical efficacy based on the Harris score of hip joint of the two groups was compared. The excellent and good rate of the observation group was 84.62% （55/65）， which was significantly better than that of the control group ［56.92% （37/65）］ （χ²=12.05，P<0.01）. The follow-up results showed that the patients who achieved excellent and good results had stable curative effects and low recurrence rates，and there was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups. Case analysis showed that after treatment of femoral head necrosis，the saccular transparent shadow of the femoral head was significantly reduced，and the number of bone trabeculae increased. The low-density shadow decreased as can be seen on hip X-rays. In patients with hip osteoporosis after treatment，the number of bone trabeculae increased， and the low density shadow reduced. ConclusionThe use of Mailuoning compound solution for nerve blocks around the hip joint gives full play to the synergistic effect of Mailuoning compound solution and nerve block. It can effectively relieve hip joint pain，promote the recovery of hip joint function，reduce the disability rate，and improve the quality of life of patients. Early intervention is an important link in the treatment of hip joint pain diseases，which can effectively control the development of the patient's disease. Mailuoning compound solution is a new idea and method to treat hip joint pain through neuroregulation，which is easy to operate，with high safety and good therapeutic effect. In future studies，a larger sample size is needed，and more in-depth research should be conducted on the imaging changes and mechanisms of action for various hip joint pain diseases.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction(BBTD)in interfer-ing methamphetamine(MA)addiction using network pharmacology.Methods The mechanism of BBTD intervention in MA addiction was analyzed using net-work pharmacology,and MA-dependent SH-SY5Y cell model was further constructed to observe the effects of BBTD on cell model and PI3K-Akt pathway.Results A total of 88 active ingredients and 583 potential tar-gets of BBTD were screened.KEGG analysis showed that BBTD might intervene in MA addiction through PI3K-Akt,cAMP and other pathways.The molecular docking results showed that key active ingredients ex-hibited strong binding ability with core targets of PI3K-Akt pathway.In vitro experiments showed that MA-de-pendent model cells had shorter synapses,tended to be elliptical in morphology,had blurred cell boundaries,showed typical cell damage morphology,and had high intracellular expression of cAMP(P＜0.01)and low expression of 5-HT(P＜0.05).BBTD intervention could counteract the above morphology,cAMP,and 5-HT changes,suggesting that it had therapeutic effects on MA-dependent model cells.Western blot showed that MA modeling elevated the p-PI3K/PI3K(P＜0.05)and p-Akt/Akt(P＜0.01);BBTD inter-vention decreased their relative expression.Conclu-sions Gastrodin and other active ingredients in BBTD have therapeutic effects on MA addiction,and the mechanism may be related to regulation of PI3K-Akt pathway relevant targets.

Objective To explore early postoperative gait characteristics and clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods From February 2023 to July 2023,26 patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis(KOA)were treated with TKA,including 4 males and 22 females,aged from 57 to 85 years old with an average of(67.58±6.49)years old;body mass in-dex(BMI)ranged from 18.83 to 38.28 kg·m-2 with an average of(26.43±4.15)kg·m-2;14 patients on the left side,12 pa-tients on the right side;according to Kellgren-Lawrence(K-L)classification,6 patients with grade Ⅲ and 20 patients with grade Ⅳ;the courses of disease ranged from 1 to 14 years with an average of(5.54±3.29)years.Images and videos of standing up and walking,walking side shot,squatting and supine kneeling were taken with smart phones before operation and 6 weeks after operation.The human posture estimation framework OpenPose were used to analyze stride frequency,step length,step length,step speed,active knee knee bending angle,stride length,double support phase time,as well as maximum hip flexion angle and maximum knee bending angle on squatting position.Western Ontario and McMaster Universities(WOMAC)arthritis index and Knee Society Score(KSS)were used to evaluate clinical efficacy of knee joint.Results All patients were followed up for 5 to 7 weeks with an average of(6.00±0.57)weeks.The total score of WOMAC decreased from(64.85±11.54)before op-eration to(45.81±7.91)at 6 weeks after operation(P＜0.001).The total KSS was increased from(101.19±9.58)before opera-tion to(125.50±10.32)at 6 weeks after operation(P＜0.001).The gait speed,stride frequency and stride length of the affected side before operation were(0.32±0.10)m·s-1,(96.35±24.18)steps·min-1,(0.72±0.14)m,respectively;and increased to(0.48±0.11)m·s 1,(104.20±22.53)steps·min-1,(0.79±0.10)m at 6 weeks after operation(P＜0.05).The lower limb support time and active knee bending angle decreased from(0.31±0.38)sand(125.21±11.64)° before operation to(0.11±0.04)s and(120.01±13.35)° at 6 weeks after operation(P＜0.05).Eleven patients could able to complete squat before operation,13 patients could able to complete at 6 weeks after operation,and 9 patients could able to complete both before operation and 6 weeks after operation.In 9 patients,the maximum bending angle of crouching position was increased from 76.29° to 124.11° before operation to 91.35° to 134.12° at 6 weeks after operation,and the maximum bending angle of hip was increased from 103.70° to 147.25° before operation to 118.61° to 149.48° at 6 weeks after operation.Conclusion Gait analysis technology based on artificial intelligence image recognition is a safe and effective method to quantitatively identify the changes of pa-tients'gait.Knee pain of KOA was relieved and the function was improved,the supporting ability of the affected limb was im-proved after TKA,and the patient's stride frequency,stride length and stride speed were improved,and the overall movement rhythm of both lower limbs are more coordinated.

Objective To explore causal relationship between atopic diseases(asthma and atopic dermatitis)and os-teoarthritis(OA)by using mendelian randomization(MR).Methods Asthma and atopic dermatitis as instrumental variables were selected,searched them through IEU database,and selected the latest data with a large number of cases and single nu-cleotide polymorphism(SNP).Data were collected and processed using R language,inverse varianceweighted(IVW)method was adopted as main MR Evaluation method.Single linear regression was performed to estimate causality based on pooled knee and hip data from genome-wide association studies(GWAS).The forest map was drawn to visualize the results,and gene pleiotropy and sensitivity were analyzed by scatter plot and funnel plot.At the same time,asthma,atopic dermatitis,body mass index(BMI),osteoporosis and OA were selected for multivariate MR Analysis to exclude the effect of horizontal pleiotropy on the results in GWAS data.Results Analysis of MR-IVW results showed asthma was positively correlated with causal effect of OA[OR=1.41,95％CI(1.07,1.85),P=0.02],multivariate Mendelian randomization(MVMR)adjusted for BMI and osteo-porosis and a direct causal effect on OA was observed[OR=1.57,95％CI(1.03,2.39),P=0.03)].MR Results of two samples of atopic dermatitis and OA were[OR=1.01,95％CI(0.97,1.04),P=0.76],and MVMR results were[OR=1.02,95％CI(0.99,1.05),P=0.25],indicating no clear causal relationship between two samples.Conclusion Asthma could increase risk of OA,atopic dermatitis has no obvious relationship with OA,and the relationship between atopic diseases and OA still needs to be discussed.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of bortezomib or thalidomide combined with recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO)in the treatment of multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A total of 80 patients with MM who were treated in the Second People's Hospital ofWuhu from January 2013 to December 2018 were selected as the research subjects,and they were divided into bortezomib group(n=40)and thalidomide group(n=40)by the simple randomization method.The bortezomib group received bortezomib regimen combined with rhEPO therapy,and the thalidomide group was given thalidomide regimen combined with rhEPO therapy,and all patients were treated for 3 courses with every 3 weeks as a course of treatment.The clinical efficacy after 3 courses of treatment,and tumor-related biochemical indicators[lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),β 2-microglobulin([3 2-MG),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),apoptosis inhibitory protein Survivin],bone marrow-related indicators[serum M-protein,bone marrow plasma cells,hemoglobin(Hb)]and coagulation function indicators[activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI),total circulating microparticles(TMPs)]before treatment and after 3 courses of treatment were compared between the two groups of patients.The occurrence of adverse reactions during the treatment in the two groups of patients was recorded.Results:After 3 courses of treatment,the ORR rate of 92.5％in bortezomib group was higher than 90.0％in thalidomide group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The levels of LDH,[3 2-MG,VEGF,Survivin,serum M-protein,bone marrow plasma cells,APTT,PT,PAI and TMPs in the two groups after 3 courses of treatment were significantly lower or shorter than those before treatment,and the above indicators in bortezomib group were significantly lower or shorter than those in thalidomide group(P＜0.05).After 3 courses of treatment,the expression level of Hb in the two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment,and the Hb level in bortezomib group was significantly higher than that in thalidomide group(P＜0.05).During the treatment process,the incidence rates of adverse reactions in bortezomib group were significantly lower than those in thalidomide group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Thalidomide regimen or bortezomib regimen combined with rhEPO has similar clinical efficacy on MM,but bortezomib regimen combined with rhEPO is more prominent and safer on improving tumor-related biochemical indicators,bone marrow-related indicators and coagulation status in patients with MM.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficiency of robotic visualization system(RVS)-assisted microsurgical re-construction of the reproductive tract in male rats and the satisfaction of the surgeons.Methods:We randomly divided 8 adult male SD rats into an experimental and a control group,the former treated by RVS-assisted microsurgical vasoepididymostomy(VE)or vaso-vasostomy(VV),and the latter by VE or VV under the standard operating microscope(SOM).We compared the operation time,me-chanical patency and anastomosis leakage immediately after surgery,and the surgeons'satisfaction between the two groups.Results:No statistically significant difference was observed the operation time between the experimental and the control groups,and no anasto-mosis leakage occurred after VV in either group.The rate of mechanical patency immediately after surgery was 100％in both groups,and that of anastomosis leakage after VE was 16.7％in the experimental group and 14.3％in the control.Compared with the control group,the experimental group achieved dramatically higher scores on visual comfort(3.00±0.76 vs 4.00±0.53,P＜0.05),neck/back comfort(2.75±1.16 vs 4.38±1.06,P＜0.01)and man-machine interaction(3.88±1.55 va 4.88±0.35,P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the scores on image definition and operating room suitability between the two groups.Conclusion:RVS can be used in microsurgical reconstruction of the reproductive tract in male rats and,with its advantages over SOM in ergonomic design and image definition,has a potential application value in male reproductive system micosurgery.

Objective To evaluate the direct economic burden caused by surgical site infection(SSI)in patients with orthopaedic trauma under the payment management of disease diagnosis-related groups(DRG).Methods Clinical data of patients with orthopaedic trauma in a tertiary first-class hospital from May 1,2022 to May 30,2023 were surveyed retrospectively.Patients were grouped based on whether SSI occurred.Differences in average length of hospital stay,average hospitalization expense,and other indicators between SSI patients and non-SSI patients in the same DRG subgroup were compared,and the direct economic burden caused by SSI was analyzed.Results A total of 435 patients who paid according to the DRG payment management were included in the study.Twenty-two pa-tients had SSI,with an SSI incidence of 5.06％.Both the average length of hospital stay and average hospitalization expense of patients in the SSI group were higher than those in the non-SSI group,with statistically significant differ-ences(P＜0.05).The DRG subgroups of SSI patients were mainly four groups:IF45,IF15,IJ13,and ZC13.Among them,the average length of hospital stay of SSI patients in the IF45,IF15,and ZC13 groups increased sig-nificantly(P＜0.05),and the average hospitalization expense of SSI patients in the IJ13 group increased significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion Under the DRG payment management,the direct economic burden of orthopaedic trauma patients with SSI increases significantly.It is necessary to periodically evaluate and identify high-risk DRG subgroup patients,so as to adopt precise infection control interventions and reduce SSI incidence.

Objective To investigate the toxicokinetic differences of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine(MDMA)and its metabolite 4,5-methylene dioxy amphetamine(MDA)in rats af-ter single and continuous administration of MDMA,providing reference data for the forensic identifica-tion of MDMA.Methods A total of 24 rats in the single administration group were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg experimental groups and the control group,with 6 rats in each group.The ex-perimental group was given intraperitoneal injection of MDMA,and the control group was given intraperi-toneal injection of the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.The amount of 0.5 mL blood was collected from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.In the continuous administration group,24 rats were randomly divided into the experi-mental group(18 rats)and the control group(6 rats).The experimental group was given MDMA 7 d by continuous intraperitoneal injection in increments of 5,7,9,11,13,15,17 mg/kg per day,respectively,while the control group was given the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group by in-traperitoneal injection.On the eighth day,the experimental rats were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg dose groups,with 6 rats in each group.MDMA was injected intraperitoneally,and the con-trol group was injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.On the eighth day,0.5 mL of blood was taken from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.Liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect MDMA and MDA levels,and statistical software was employed for data analysis.Results In the single-administration group,peak concentrations of MDMA and MDA were reached at 5 min and 1 h after administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 12 h.In the continuous administration group,peak concentrations were reached at 30 min and 1.5 h af-ter administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 10 h.Nonlinear fitting equations for the concentration ratio of MDMA and MDA in plasma and administration time in the single-administration group and continuous administration group were as follows:T=10.362C-1.183,R2=0.974 6;T=7.397 3C-0.694,R2=0.961 5(T:injection time;C:concentration ratio of MDMA to MDA in plasma).Conclusions The toxicokinetic data of MDMA and its metabolite MDA in rats,obtained through single and continuous administration,including peak concentration,peak time,detection time limit,and the relationship between concentration ratio and administration time,provide a theoretical and data foundation for relevant forensic identification.

Objective To investigate the human papillomavirus(HPV)infection and genotype distribution characteristics among male reproductive health outpatients,and to compare the differences among different age groups of outpatients.Methods A total of 1 658 males,visited in the Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research from 2018 to 2022,were selected and 23 HPV genotypes were detected by PCR-reverse dot hybridization.Results Among the 1 658 subjects,the overall HPV infection rate was 22.50%.Single infection accounted for 66.76%,which was the main infection type.HPV infection among different age groups were statistically significant(P<0.001),with HPV infection of 16.83%,22.87%,34.63%,and 29.35%for 18-30,31-40,41-50,and≥51 years,respectively.The top 5 high risk HPV genotypes were HPV52(3.56%),HPV16(3.26%),HPV39(2.41%),HPV51(2.17%),HPV58(2.17%),and the top 1 low risk HPV genotype was HPV81(2.90%).The proportions of infected individuals in this study that could be completely covered by bivalent,quadrivalent,and nine-valent HPV vaccines were 7.77%,12.33%,and 26.27%,respectively.Conclusion The predominant infection type among male reproductive health outpatients was single infection type.HPV 52,16,39,51 and 58 were the most common high risk genotypes,while HPV 81 was the most common low risk genotype.Individuals aged 41-50 years had the highest HPV infection rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of rhynchophylline on methamphetamine-dependent SH-SY5Y cells model and microRNA-375-3p(miR-375-3p)/embryonic lethal abnormal vision drosophila-like 4(Elavl4)expression.Methods A methamphetamine-dependent cell model by maximum safe dose induction was established.The cells were divided into normal group(complete culture medium),control group(complete culture medium+400 μmol·L-1 rhynchophylline incubated for 48 h),model group(complete culture medium+100 μmnol·L-1 methamphetamine incubated for 48 h)and experimental group(complete culture medium+400 μmol·L-1 rhynchophylline incubated for 15 min,then 100 μmol·L-1 methamphetamine incubated for 48 h).The cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)expression were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),miR-375-3p expression was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and Elavl4 expression was detected by Western blot.Results The cAMP expression levels of normal group,control group,model group and experimental group were(6.33±0.93),(6.57±1.12),(10.89±1.03)and(7.81±1.32)pmol·mg-1;5-HT were(682.46±17.32),(690.31±15.09),(510.11±27.67)and(649.99±21.42)pg·mL-1;miR-375-3p expression were 1.00±0.13,1.13±0.24,3.48±0.18 and 1.58±0.19;Elavl4 expression were 1.00±0.05,0.89±0.10,0.50±0.09 and 0.90±0.11,respectively.The differences between above indicators in model group and normal group were statistically significant(P＜0.01,P＜0.05);the differences between above indicators in experimental group and model group were statistically significant(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion This study preliminarily established a methamphetamine-dependent cell model,and also found that rhynchophylline may regulate miR-375-3p/Elavl4 expression to antagonize methamphetamine addiction.
