OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Huangqin decoction in improving ulcerative colitis （UC） through the gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolism-aryl hydrocarbon receptor （AhR） axis. METHODS Mice were randomly divided into normal group （normal saline）， model group （normal saline）， microbiota depletion-model group （normal saline）， microbiota depletion-Huangqin decoction group （9.1 g/kg， by crude drug， similarly hereinafter）， Huangqin decoction group and mesalazine group （positive control group， 0.4 g/kg）， with 6 mice in each group. Microbiota depletion was achieved by providing free access to a mixed antibiotics for 10 days. The UC model was induced by administering 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium solution for 7 days. After successful modeling， each treatment group received corresponding drugs or normal saline intragastrically once daily for 10 days. After the final administration， body weight change ratio， disease activity index （DAI） score， and colon length were evaluated； colon pathological changes were observed； serum levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-10， IL-22， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were measured； the expressions of Occludin， zonula occluden-1 （ZO-1）， and AhR in colon tissue were detected； fecal samples were subjected to high-throughput sequencing to analyze targeted tryptophan metabolomics. RESULTS Compared with the model group， Huangqin decoction group showed reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon tissue and restoration of the intestinal mucosal structure. Body weight change ratio， colon length， serum content of IL-10， the expressions of Occludin， ZO-1 and AhR in colon tissue and the contents of tryptophan metabolites indole-3-propionic acid （IPA）， N -acetylserotonin （NAS） and indole-3-acetic acid （IAA） were all significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）； DAI score， serum levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-22 and the content of tryptophan metabolite indole-3-ethanol were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）； gut microbiota structure was improved， with increased relative abundances of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus ， and decreased relative abundances of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia-Shigella . However， after antibiotic-induced microbiota depletion， although Huangqin decoction significantly increased the content of NAS in the feces of mice， the expression of AhR protein in colon tissue did not increase concurrently. CONCLUSIONS Huangqin decoction can repair the intestinal mucosal barrier in UC mice by regulating the gut microbiota and promoting the production of IPA and IAA， thereby activating AhR. This suggests that an intact gut microbiota is an important prerequisite for Huangqin decoction to exert its AhR-regulating effects.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of compound sabal berry tablets on overactive bladder symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia after transurethral laser enucleation of the prostate.Methods:This study was a prospective study. Eighty patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent laser enucleation at Tongliao People's Hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into a study group and a control group using the random number table method, with 40 patients per group. The control group received 0.2 mg of tolterodine tartrate tablets twice a day after surgery. The study group was given compound sabal berry tablets (0.5 g orally three times a day) in addition to the treatment provided to the control group. Both groups of patients were treated for 4 weeks after surgery. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared, including the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), Maximum Postoperative Urinary Flow Rate (Qmax), Post-Void Residual (PVR), and the incidence of postoperative bladder irritative symptoms.Results:The differences in the preoperative indicators, including IPSS, OABSS, Qmax, and PVR, between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Preoperatively, in the control group, Qmax was (8.64 ± 2.83) mL/s, IPSS was (25.10 ± 4.37), OABSS was (10.52 ± 1.87), and PVR was (80.70 ± 6.34) mL; in the study group, the respective values were (9.12 ± 2.95) mL/s, (24.60 ± 4.53), (10.83 ± 1.73), and (80.10 ± 5.61) mL. Postoperatively, in the control group, Qmax was (20.30 ± 3.65) mL/s, IPSS was (8.50 ± 1.58), OABSS was (4.09 ± 0.52), and PVR was (9.70 ± 2.48) mL, while in the study group, the respective values were (21.40 ± 4.38) mL/s, (7.40 ± 1.76), (1.71 ± 0.36), and (9.00 ± 1.75) mL. Postoperatively, both groups showed a significant increase in Qmax, while IPSS, OABSS, and PVR all significantly decreased (all P < 0.05). Postoperatively, the IPSS and OABSS in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = -3.28, -25.89, both P < 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in Qmax and PVR between the two groups (both P > 0.05). The incidence of bladder irritative symptoms in the study group [12.50% (5/40)] was significantly lower than that in the control group [35.00% (14/40), χ2 = 8.64, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:Compound sabal berry tablets can reduce postoperative prostate symptoms and overactive bladder symptoms in patients undergoing transurethral laser enucleation of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia, demonstrating a certain clinical efficacy.

Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely known atmospheric pollutants, which can cause serious harm to human body and ecological environment. Objective To analyze the concentrations and sources of PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 in Zhifu District and Longkou City during the heating period in Yantai. Methods Two monitoring sites in Zhifu District and Longkou City of Yantai were selected, and PM_2.5 sample collection was carried out from April 2023 to March 2024. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was applied to analyze the concentrations of PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 during the heating period (from November 2023 to March 2024) and the non-heating period (from April to October 2023). The concentrations of PAHs in the two periods were compared and the sources of PAHs during the heating period were analyzed by characteristic ratio method. Results During the heating period, the total concentration ranges of PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 at the monitoring sites in Zhifu District and Longkou City of Yantai were (1.59-23.70) ng·m⁻³ and (2.08-149.72) ng·m⁻³ respectively, and the medians (M) and the 25th and 75th percentiles (P₂₅, P₇₅) were 4.99 (2.61, 8.09) ng·m⁻³ and 15.46 (8.15, 29.05) ng·m⁻³ respectively. The PAHs concentrations in Longkou City were significantly higher than those in Zhifu District in all months (P<0.05). The highest median total concentrations of PAHs in both sites were reported in January (8.14 ng·m⁻³ and 81.56 ng·m⁻³ respectively). In the non-heating period, the M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of the total PAHs concentrations at the two sites were 1.59 (1.59, 2.78) ng·m⁻³ and 4.11 (2.94, 7.97) ng·m⁻³ respectively, much lower than those in the heating period (P<0.01). The order of composition of PAHs by ring number in PM_2.5 at both sites was 4-ring> 5-ring> 6-ring, with the 4-ring contributing the largest proportion (65.33% and 46.39% respectively). Fluoranthene had the highest concentration among PAHs at both sites, with concentrations M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of 1.29 (0.51, 1.78) ng·m⁻³ and 2.32 (1.30, 3.82) ng·m⁻³ respectively. The characteristic ratios of fluoranthene/(fluoranthene + pyrene), fluoranthene/pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene/(benzo[a]anthracene + chrysene), pyrene/benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene/(benzo[a]pyrene + chrysene), benzo[a]pyrene/benzo[g,h,i]pyrene, and indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene/(indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene + benzo[g,h,i]pyrene) in Zhifu District were 0.62, 1.65, 0.41, 4.48, 0.50, 0.93 and 0.47 respectively, and those in Longkou were 0.57, 1.35, 0.40, 2.89, 0.29, 0.79 and 0.47 respectively. The results showed that PAHs pollutants were generated by combination of coal combustion, vehicle exhaust emissions and gasoline combustion. Conclusion During the heating period in Yantai area, the total concentration of PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 is significantly higher than that in the non-heating period. Among them, during the heating period, the pollution level in Longkou City is significantly higher than that in Zhifu District. The local PAHs may be sourced from mixed pollution, and the main sources include gasoline, and coal combustion and vehicle exhaust emissions.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) on clinical functional outcomes of patients with intensive care unit-acquired swallowing disorders (ICU-ASD).Methods:This retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data of patients diagnosed with post-extubation dysphagia (PED) in the intensive care unit (ICU) and respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from February 2020 to February 2025. Patients were categorized into a FEES group of 60 cases [34 males, 26 females, aged 37-80 years (median age 62 years)] and a control group without FEES of 58 cases [32 males, 26 females, aged 39-77 years (median age 61 years)].The patients in two groups received swallowing function and feeding training based on the results of the FEES assessment and the Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test-Clinical Version (VVST-CV), respectively. Clinical functional outcome measures included pneumonia incidence, clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS), pneumonia severity index (PSI), Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS), and dietary method at discharge. χ2 test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test, were employed for statistical analysis of the outcome measures. Results:Compared with the control group, the FEES group had significantly lower aspiration pneumonia incidence at discharge [3.3% (2/60) vs 15.5% (9/58), χ2=5.179, P=0.023]. Regarding dietary methods,a significantly higher proportion of patients in the FEES group achieved complete oral feeding compared with the control group [75.0% (45/60) vs 67.3% (39/58), χ2=8.065, P<0.05]. After training, the FEES group had higher median FOIS scores than the control group (7.00 vs 6.00, Z=-2.370, P=0.018), and lower CPIS scores (2.50 vs 5.00, Z=-2.216, P=0.027) and PSI scores (59.00 vs 73.00, Z=-2.251, P=0.024). Within-group comparisons revealed that FOIS scores significantly improved post-training in both groups (both P<0.001). Conclusion:Early FEES examination for ICU patients with acquired swallowing disorders is associated with a lower incidence of pneumonia, improved swallowing function, and superior clinical functional outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the safety and short-term efficacy of yttrium-90 [ 90Y] resin microspheres transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for the treatment of initial unresectable malignant hepatic tumor. Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 10 patients with initial unresectable malignant hepatic tumor who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from June 2022 to June 2023 were collected. All patients were males, aged (57±4)years. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison before and after treatment within the group was conducted using the paired t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and comparison before and after treatment within the group was conducted using the paired rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or proportions. Results:(1) Pre-treatment assessment. All 10 patients completed pre-treatment assessment, with 8 cases undergoing once of technetium 99-polymerised protein perfusion test and 2 cases under-going ≥ twice of technetium 99-polymerised protein perfusion test. The ratio of uptake of techne-tium 99-polymerised protein in tumor tissue to normal tissue, the hepatopulmonary shunting ratio and the therapeutic requirement of 90Y resin microspheres in 10 patients were 5.8±1.2, 4.8%±0.8% and (1.10±0.20)GBq, respectively. (2) Treatment strategy of 90Y resin microspheres TARE. Of the 10 patients, cases treated with whole tumor radioembolisation, radioembolisation of the main target lesion+non-target lesion radiofrequency ablation, radioembolisation of the main target lesion+non-target lesion iodine-125 particles implantation, radioembolisation of the liver lobe or liver segment were 6, 2, 1, 1, respectively. During the treatment period, one elderly case did not receive target therapy combined with immunotherapy due to intolerance, and the remaining 9 cases received target therapy combined with immunotherapy. Of the 10 patients, there were 7 cases receiving once of 90Y resin microspheres TARE, and 3 cases receiving twice of 90Y resin microspheres TARE. (3) Follow-up. All 10 patients were followed up for 4.5(range, 3.0-12.0)months. During the follow-up, none of patient had adverse event associated with 90Y resin microspheres TARE. The tumor diameter, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), abnormal prothrombin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate amino-transferase (AST), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (TBiL), glutamyltransferase (GGT) of the 10 patients were 96(72,135)mm, 26(6,833)μg/L, 290(56,2 997)Au/L, (36±13)IU/L, (41+16)IU/L, (40±4)g/L, (15.3±4.1)μmol/L, (99±68)IU/L before receiving 90Y microspheres TARE. The above indicators of the 10 patients were 63(43,97)mm, 4(3,357)μg/L, 38(25, 142) Au/L, (40±16)IU/L, (51±28)IU/L, (39±4)g/L, (14.4±1.2) μmol/L, (134±93)IU/L after 90 days of receiving 90Y microspheres TARE. There were significant differences in tumor diameter and abnormal prothrombin ( Z=-2.08, -2.24, P<0.05) and there was no significant difference in AFP, ALT, AST, Alb, TBil, GGT ( Z=-1.27, t=0.63, 1.69, 1.73, 0.67, 1.30, P>0.05). During the follow-up period, 5 cases achieved clinical complete response, 4 cases achieved clinical partial remission, and 1 case experienced non-target lesion progression within 30 days after receiving 90Y resin microspheres TARE. The disease remission rate and disease control rate of the 10 patients were 9/10 and 9/10, respectively. None of patient died during follow-up period. Conclusion:90Y resin microspheres TARE for the treatment of initial unresectable malignant hepatic tumor is safe and feasible, and can achieve satisfactory short-term efficacy when combined with other treatment methods.

Objective:To investigate the influencing of preoperative total bilirubin (TBil) on perioperative complications of hepatolithiasis receiving liver resection.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 300 patients with hepatolithiasis who were admitted to 2 medical centers from January 2010 to January 2022 were collected. There were 115 males and 185 females, aged (54±13)years. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and the chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Variables with P<0.10 in the univariate analysis were included into the multivariate analysis. Univariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model,and multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model with backward Wald method. Continuous variables were converted into categorical variables based on commonly reported cutoff values when conducting Logistic regression analysis. Results:(1) Comparison of clinical data of patients with different preoperative TBil. Of 300 patients with hepatolithiasis, there were 252 cases with low level of preoperative TBil as 14.4(11.1,19.7)μmol/L, and there were 48 cases with high level of preoperative TBil as 44.0(31.3,59.8)μmol/L. Of the pati-ents with low level of preoperative TBil, neutrophils percentage was 62%±10%, cases with intra-operative blood transfusion was 29, and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection was 166. Of the patients with high level of preoperative TBil, neutrophils percentage was 70%±11%, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion was 22, and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection was 15. There were significant differences in cases classified as>grade 2 of ASA classification, neutrophils percentage, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion and cases undergoing anatomical liver resection between patients with low and high level of preoperative TBil ( t=5.182, χ2=33.669, 18.775, P<0.05). (2) Comparison of perioperative complications of patients with different preoperative TBil. Of the 252 patients with low level of TBil, there were 151 cases with complications including 35 cases of serious complications, there was 1 case with postoperative liver failure, the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 13.0(10.0,16.0)days. Of the 48 patients with high level of TBil, there were 32 cases with complications including 17 cases of serious complications, there were 6 cases with postoperative liver failure, the duration of postoperative hospital stay was 14.0(10.0,18.8)days. There were significant differences in cases with serious complications and cases with postoperative liver failure between patients with low and high level of preoperative TBil ( χ2=13.041, 20.879, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, body mass index (BMI), preoperative TBil and volume of intraoperative blood loss were independent factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatolithiasis ( odds ratio=3.852, 2.358, 2.935, 5.135, 95% confidence interval as 1.478?9.979, 1.110?5.009, 1.398?6.158, 2.088?12.626, P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with high level of preoperative TBil have a significantly increased risk of postoperative serious complications and liver failure who receive liver resection for hepatolithiasis. Age, preoperative BMI, TBil and volume of intraoperative blood loss are independent factors influencing postoperative serious complications in patients undergoing liver resection for hepatolithiasis.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and severe hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP), and to provide assistance for early evaluation and clinical decision-making of HTGP.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2021, the clinical data of 770 patients diagnosed with HTGP at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively collected. According to severity of pancreatitis, the patients were divided into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP), moderate severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) groups, and the differences in TyG index among the 3 groups was compared. According to the quartile range of the TyG index, the patients were divided into TyG Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups, and the distribution of severity of pancreatitis in each TyG index quartile group was calculated. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for statistical analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between TyG index quartile range and the severity of pancreatitis. Linear trend chi-square test was used to analyze the trend of SAP incidence among groups. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between TyG index quartile range and the risk of SAP, and the trend test was also conducted. Results:A total of 770 patients with HTGP were included, among them 330 (42.9%), 268 (34.8%) and 172 (22.3%) were MAP, MSAP and SAP, respectively. The TyG indices of MAP, MSAP and SAP group were 11.8(11.3, 12.4), 12.5(11.9, 13.2) and 12.7(12.1, 13.4), respectively, and the differences among the 3 groups were statistically significant ( H=121.77, P<0.001). The TyG index was 12.21 (11.57, 12.94) in the 770 patients. There were 192, 193, 193 and 192 patients enrolled in TyG Q1(TyG index <11.57)、 Q2(TyG index ranged from 11.57 to <12.21)、 Q3(TyG index ranged from 12.21 to <12.94) and Q4(TyG index≥12.94) group, respectively.The correlation test showed that the difference between TyG quartile range and the severity of pancreatitis was statistically significant ( ρ=0.372, P<0.001). The incidence of SAP in TyG Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 group was 10.9%(21/192), 14.5%(28/193), 27.5%(53/193) and 36.5%(70/192), respectively. The trend test of SAP incidence among the TyG gruops was statistically significant ( χ2 =44.33, P<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, taking the TyG Q1 group as a reference, the OR values of SAP risk (95% confidence interval) of the TyG Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups were 1.250 (0.619 to 2.524), 2.882 (1.506 to 5.514) and 6.660 (3.456 to 12.836), respectively, and the trend test of SAP risk showed a significant difference ( OR=2.508, 95%confidence interval 1.883 to 3.341, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a correlation between TyG index and severity of pancreatitis in patients with HTGP. As the TyG index increases, the risk of SAP increases in HTGP patients. TyG index may be an early predictor of severe HTGP.
