Aromatic Chinese medicinal essential oils are volatile oils extracted from aromatic Chinese herbs， which can prevent and treat respiratory infectious diseases through multiple synergistic mechanisms including pathogen inhibition， immune regulation， and inflammatory response regulation. Essential oils are primarily used externally on the body to prevent infections and alleviate symptoms through methods like inhalation， smearing， topical application， bathing， gargling or as a suppository. They can also be utilized in the environment for disinfection and air purification， through methods like diffusion， vaporization， or spraying. The external application of essential oils extracted from Chinese aromatic herbs has the advantages of convenience， quick absorption， and simultaneous influence on both the body and mind. However， there are still challenges and deficiencies in aspects such as the positioning of functions， indications， safety， and the research on the mechanism of action. It has been proposed to combine the theory of aromatic Chinese medicinals with the characteristics of essential oils， and formulate prescriptions of Chinese medicinal essential oils under the principles of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation， and prevent and treat respiratory infectious diseases efficiently， accurately， and safely， thereby expanding the clinical application of aromatic Chinese medicinals and the preventive theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

BACKGROUND:There is still no consensus on the optimal internal fixation for the treatment of Pauwels Ⅲ femoral neck fracture,and most of the related finite element analyses have been performed using a single simplified loading condition,and the biomechanical properties of commonly used internal fixation devices need to be further investigated. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomechanical characteristics of Pauwels Ⅲ femoral neck fractures treated with cannulated compression screw,dynamic hip screw,and femoral neck system by finite element method under different loading conditions of single-leg standing loads and sideways fall loads. METHODS:The DICOM data of healthy adult femur were obtained by CT scanning,imported into Mimics 15.0 software to obtain the rough model of bone tissue.The data exported from Mimics were optimized by Geomagics software,and then three internal fixation models were built and assembled with the femur model according to the parameters of the clinical application of the cannulated compression screw,dynamic hip screw,and femoral neck system by using Pro/E software.Finally,the three internal fixation models were imported into Ansys software for loading and calculation to analyze the stress distribution and displacement of the femur and the internal fixation under different working conditions of single-leg standing loads and sideways fall loads,as well as the stress characteristics of the calcar femorale and Ward's triangle. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under the single-leg standing load and the sideways fall load,the proximal femoral stress of the three internal fixation models was mainly distributed above the fracture end of the femoral neck.The peak stress of the proximal femoral end,fracture end,Ward triangle,and calcar femorale of the three internal fixation models were the smallest in the femoral neck system model and the largest in the cannulated compression screw model.(2)Under the single-leg standing load and the sideways fall load,the peak displacement of the proximal femur of the three internal fixation models was all located at the top of the femoral head,and the peak displacement was the smallest in the femoral neck system model and the largest in the cannulated compression screw model.(3)The peak displacement of the three internal fixation models was all located at the top of the internal fixation device under the single-leg standing and sideways fall loading conditions,and the peak displacement values were the smallest in the femoral neck system internal fixation model and the largest in the cannulated compression screw internal fixation model.(4)The internal fixation stress of the three internal fixation models was mainly distributed in the area near the fracture end of the internal fixation device under the single-leg standing and sideways fall loads,and the peak value of internal fixation stress was the smallest in the femoral neck system model and the largest in the cannulated compression screw model.(5)These results suggest that the mechanical stability of the femoral neck system is the best,but there may be a risk of stress shielding of the fracture end and calcar femorale.The stress of the internal fixation device of the femoral neck system is more dispersed,and the risk of internal fixation break is lower.

BACKGROUND:The use of fiber post to repair the endodontically treated non-carious cervical lesions teeth can change the stress distribution of the tooth and significantly reduce the risk of fracture of the affected tooth.However,the mechanical mechanism of fiber posts improving tooth fracture resistance and the optimal crown restoration for endodontically treated non-carious cervical lesions teeth are still debated. OBJECTIVE:To review the stress distribution pattern after restoration of endodontically treated non-carious cervical lesions teeth with fiber posts,the fracture resistance and fracture pattern under various stress states,and the latest research progress on fiber posts combined with different crown restorations. METHODS:The computerized search was applied in PubMed and CNKI to retrieve articles published from September 2008 to September 2023 with Chinese and English search terms"non-carious cervical lesions,endodontically treated teeth restoration,endodontically treated teeth stress distribution."Finally,56 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The application of fiber post restoration for endodontically treated non-carious cervical lesion teeth can partially improve the cervical stress of the tooth without increasing the risk of vertical root fracture,can lead to a more consistent distribution of stress and enhance the tooth's ability to withstand fractures.Non-carious cervical lesion teeth with fiber posts that fracture would show favorable,restorable,or repairable fracture patterns.Fiber posts in combination with porcelain veneers or veneer-type inlays may become a more desirable minimally invasive restoration for repairing endodontically treated non-carious cervical lesion teeth.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that mitochondrial apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis,and Feibi prescription can attenuate pulmonary fibrosis and inhibit the transformation of extracellular mechanisms in mice with pulmonary fibrosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of Feibi prescription on mitochondrial apoptpsis of alveolar epithelial cells in bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis mice. METHODS:Forty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank control group,model group,pirfenidone group,and Feibi prescription group.There were 10 mice in each group.Except for the blank control group,the other three groups were intraperitoneally injected with bleomycin(7.5 mg/kg per day)for 10 continuous days to establish the model of pulmonary fibrosis.On day 1 after modeling,the mice in corresponding drug groups were intragastrically administered with pirfenidone(51.43 mg/kg per day)or Feibi prescription(12.86 mg/kg per day).Drug administration lasted for 28 days.Then,morphological changes of lung tissue in mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining.The levels of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,interleukin-17,and interleukin-37 in the serum were detected by ELISA,and the expression of Bax,Bcl-2,Beclin-1,and Caspase3 in the lung tissue was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Morphological observation of lung tissue showed that in the model group,the alveolar septum and alveolar lumen were infiltrated with a large number of inflammatory cells,and there were large clusters of fibrous foci;in the pirfenidone group,alveolar septa were thickened,with a small infiltration of inflammatory cells and the appearance of pulmonary fibrous foci;in the Feibi prescription group,the alveolar structure was widened,with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration,and the alveolar structure was almost not obviously damaged,with a small number of lung fibrous foci.Compared with the blank control group,the mass concentrations of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,interleukin-17,and interleukin-37 were significantly higher in the model group(P<0.01),while the levels were significantly lower in the two drug groups than the model group(P<0.01).Moreover,the mass concentrations of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,interleukin-17,and interleukin-37 in the Feibi prescription group were lower than those in the pirfenidone group.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bax and Caspase3 proteins in the lung tissue of mice was significantly higher in the model group,while the expression of Bax and Caspase3 proteins was significantly lower in the two drug groups than the model group.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 proteins in the lung tissue of mice was significantly lower in the model group,while the expression of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 proteins was significantly higher in the two drug groups than the model group.To conclude,Feibi prescription can reduce pulmonary fibrosis and its mechanism may be related to the downregulation of interleukin-1,interleukin-6,interleukin-17,and interleukin-37 levels.This prescription can also reduce the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells by regulating mitochondrial apoptosis-related proteins,Bax,Bcl-2,Beclin-1 and Caspase3.

With the growing aging population, female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), due to its high incidence, has become a common disease that seriously affects patients' quality of life and brings heavy economic burden to families and society.Over the past century, the surgical treatments of SUI were continuously updated along with the in-depth research on the disease mechanism.However, in recent years, the concept of anti-incontinence surgery has shifted from treating the causes to reshaping the urinary control mechanism.As a result, the mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedure has gained global acceptance since its introduction, swiftly acknowledged both domestically and internationally as the gold standard due to its minimally invasive nature and proven effectiveness.MUS is also the most commonly used surgical method for SUI patients treated in our center.Based on our own surgical experience, we will analyze the main steps, technical points, and preventive strategies of surgical complications of MUS, so as to provide clinical reference.

In recent years， hyperuricemia （HUA） has shown a rapidly increasing incidence and tends to occur in increasingly young people， with a wide range of cardiac， renal， joint， and cancerous hazards and all-cause mortality associations. Western medicine treatment has limitations such as large liver and kidney damage， medication restriction， and easy recurrence. The intestine is the major extra-renal excretion pathway for uric acid （UA）， and the intestinal microecology can be regulated to promote UA degradation. It offers great potential to develop UA-lowering strategies that target the intestinal microecology， which are promising to provide safer and more effective therapeutic approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can treat HUA via multiple targets and multiple pathways from a holistic view， with low toxicity and side effects. Studies have shown that intestinal microecology is a crucial target for TCM in the treatment of HUA. However， its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Focusing on the key role of intestinal microecology in HUA， this review explores the relationship between intestinal microecology and HUA in terms of intestinal flora， intestinal metabolites， intestinal UA transporters， and intestinal barriers. Furthermore， we summarize the research progress in TCM treatment of HUA by targeting the intestinal microecology， with the aim of providing references for the development of TCM intervention strategies for HUA and the direction of future research.

Polymyxin is an essential antibiotic for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections； however， its significant nephrotoxicity greatly limits its clinical application. To enhance its safety and improve patient outcomes， the study of novel biomarkers for the early prediction of polymyxin-associated acute kidney injury is critically important. Novel biomarkers， such as cystatin C， kidney injury molecule-1， neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin， N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase， β2- microglobulin， have shown obvious advantages in the early prediction of polymyxin-associated acute kidney injury. Compared to traditional biomarkers， these biomarkers can provide sensitive and specific diagnostic information in the early stages of kidney injury， helping to optimize individualized treatment plans and reduce clinical risks. However， the high cost of detection and complex operation still limit their clinical promotion. Future research should focus on optimizing the detection technology of new biomarkers， simplifying the operation process and reducing costs， while conducting multi-center， large-scale randomized controlled trials to systematically evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of various novel biomarkers， in order to promote their application in the field of prediction of renal injury in clinical practice.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Guben Kechuan Granules （固本咳喘颗粒） in treating chronic bronchitis （CB） with lung qi weakness pattern. MethodsA multicenter， randomized controlled trial was conducted， and 180 patients with CB of lung qi weakness pattern were randomly divided into 120 cases in the treatment group and 60 cases in the control group according to a 2∶1 ratio. The control group received health education for 24 weeks， while conventional symptomatic treatment was given when acute exacerbation of CB occurred. Treatment group was treated with the oral administration of Guben Kechuan Granules， 2 g each time， 3 times a day， for a total of 24 weeks on the basis of treatment of the control group. Both groups were followed up for 24 weeks after 24 weeks of treatment. Primary effectiveness indicators included the number of CB acute exacerbations occurence during the treatment and follow-up period， and the total number of CB acute exacerbations from the start of treatment to the end of follow-up. Secondary effectiveness indicators included the details of CB acute exacerbations， i.e.， time to first acute exacerbation， time between acute exacerbations， duration of each time of acute exacerbation， and acute exacerbation symptom severity scores， and lung function indices. The scores of cough， sputum， and wheeze and total symptom scores were compared prior to treatment， at 4， 8， 12， 16， 20， and 24 weeks of treatment， and at 24 weeks of follow-up. The occurrence of adverse events during the study period was recorded and safety indices including blood routine， liver function， kidney function， and urine routine were tested. ResultsA total of 179 participants completed the trial including 119 in the treatment group and 60 in the control group. Compared to pre-treatment scores within the group， the treatment group showed reductions in cough， sputum， and wheeze scores， and total symptom scores at weeks 4， 8， 12， 16， 20， and 24 of treatment， as well as at 24 weeks of follow-up； in the control group， cough scores decreased at weeks 16， 20， and 24， sputum and wheeze scores decreased at week 24 of treatment and at 24 weeks of follow-up， and total symptom scores decreased at weeks 20， 24 of treatment， and at 24 weeks of follow-up （P＜0.05）. Compared with the control group， the treatment group showed reductions in the number of CB acute exacerbations occurence during the treatment and follow-up period， and the total number of CB acute exacerbations from the start of treatment to the end of follow-up， the duration of acute exacerbations， the acute exacerbation symptom severity scores， and the scores for cough， sputum， wheeze， and total symptoms at weeks 8， 12， 16， 20， 24 of treatment， and at 24 weeks of follow-up； while the time to the first acute exacerbation of CB was significantly prolonged in the treatment group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. There were no statistically significant differences in lung function indicators between groups before treatment and at 24 weeks after treatment （P＞0.05）. Safety indicators showed no significant abnormalities before or after treatment in either group， and the incidence of adverse events during the treatment period showed no significant differences between the groups （P＞0.05）. ConclusionGuben Kechuan Granules can reduce the risk of acute exacerbations in CB patients with lung qi weakness pattern， improve clinical symptoms such as cough， sputum， and wheeze， and show good safety.

[Objective] To extract hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells using osmotic pressure swelling method, expected to achieve a hemoglobin dissolution rate of ≥80% and a cell membrane integrity rate of ≥70%. [Methods] Human umbilical cord blood red blood cells were used as raw materials and phosphate buffer solution was used as the swelling solution for red blood cells. A three factor three-level orthogonal experiment (n=3) was conducted to determine the optimal matching conditions for selecting the osmolality molar concentration of phosphate buffer solution, pH value of hypotonic phosphate buffer solution and volume ratio of hypotonic phosphate buffer solution to washed red blood cells. Red blood cell swelling solution samples (n=6) were prepared by the optimal matching conditions and the original process conditions. The hemoglobin dissolution rate and cell membrane integrity rate were checked. In the expanded comparative experiment, red blood cell swelling solution samples (n=6) were prepared by the optimal matching conditions and the original process conditions, which was filtered by ultrafiltration membranes. The filtration time and hemoglobin yield were checked. [Results] The optimal matching conditions for preparing red blood cell swelling solution were obtained through orthogonal experiment as follows: osmotic pressure molar concentration was 30 mOsmol/Kg, pH was 7.8, and phosphate buffer to red blood cell volume ratio was 6∶1. On the basis of the above conditions, the red blood cell swelling solution sample was compared with the original process sample: the hemoglobin dissolution rate was (82.4±1.8)% vs (78.6±3.0)% (P<0.05), and the cell membrane integrity rate was (65.8±4.0)% vs (28.7±2.3)% (P<0.05). In the expanded comparative experiment, the optimal matching conditions were compared with the original process conditions: filtration time(s) (327±9) vs (434±13) (P<0.05), and hemoglobin yield was (72.3±1.2)% vs (66.0±1.4)% (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Compared with the original preparation process, the hemoglobin extraction process which optimized through orthogonal experiments greatly reduces the cell membrane fragmentation rate and minimizes the entry of cell membrane matrix into the target solution, ensuring a slightly higher hemoglobin dissolution rate, and reducing the preparation difficulty for the subsequent cell membrane separation and further purification.
