OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect proanthocyanidin B2(PC-B2) on oxidative damage and apoptosis of mouse astrocytes(AS) induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and its mechanism. METHODS AS were isolated and cultured from neonatal C57BL/6 mice(1−3 d). The optimal concentration of H2O2 and PC-B2 was divided into four groups: normal group, normal+PC-B2 group(100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h), H2O2 model group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 treated for 24 h), PC-B2 group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 and 100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h). The cell viability of each group was detected by CCK-8 method. Cytotoxicity was detected by LDH method. The antioxidant capacity was detected by ABTS and DPPH. The content of MDA and the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px were detected by ELISA kit. Detection of apoptosis in each group was done by TUNEL staining. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Akt/Stat3, p-Akt, p-Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 in AS were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS PC-B2 could significantly enhance cell viability and inhibit AS apoptosis. Compared with the H2O2 model group, PC-B2 intervention could significantly reduce the content of LDH and MDA in AS, and increase the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px. PC-B2 intervention could inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of Bax and Caspase-3, and up-regulate the mRNA and protein expression of Akt/Stat3, Bcl-2, Nrf2/HO-1. CONCLUSION PC-B2 can enhance the antioxidant capacity of AS through Akt/Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways, therefore reduce H2O2-induced AS oxidative damage and apoptosis.

Trauma is recognized globally as a great public health challenge.It stands as the predomi-nant cause of mortality among those under the age of 45 and is also ranked among the top five causes of death for both urban and rural populations within China.This stark reality underscores the critical urgen-cy in establishing an efficient system for trauma care,which is pivotal for substantially enhancing the sur-vival rates of patients.An optimally developed system for trauma care not only guarantees that patients promptly receive professional medical assistance but also facilitates significant improvements in the out-comes of trauma care through the strategic establishment of trauma centers.At present,a considerable variation exists in the quality of trauma care provided across various regions within China.The adoption of comprehensive quality management strategies for the medical processes involved in trauma care,alongside the standardized management of on-site rescue operations,pre-hospital emergency care,and in-hospital treatment protocols,stands as a fundamental approach to boost the capabilities of trauma care and,conse-quently,the survival rates of trauma patients.Serving as the cornerstone of comprehensive medical quali-ty management,key quality control indicators possess the capacity to steer the development direction of trauma centers.In a concerted effort to further augment the medical quality management of trauma care,standardize clinical diagnosis and treatment methodologies,and advocate for the standardization and ho-mogenization of medical services,the Medical Quality Control Professional Committee of the National Center for Trauma Medicine has undertaken a detailed refinement and update of the 16 key quality control indicators for trauma centers.These were initially put forward in the"Notice on Further Enhancing Trau-ma Care Capabilities"disseminated by the National Health Commission in 2018.Consequent to this en-deavor,a revised set of 19 quality control indicators has been devised.This comprehensive set,inclusive of the indicators'names,definitions,calculation methodologies,significance,and the subjects for quali-ty control,is designed for utilization within the quality management and control operations of trauma cen-ters across various levels.This initiative aims to furnish a concrete and executable roadmap for the quality control endeavors of trauma centers.Through the enactment of these quality control indicators,medical institutions are empowered to conduct more stringent monitoring and evaluative measures across all facets of trauma care.This not only facilitates the prompt identification and rectification of existing challenges but also substantially boosts the efficiency of internal collaboration.It enhances the synergy between dif-ferent departments,thereby markedly improving the efficiency and quality of trauma care.

Objective:To study the efficacy of ultrasound-guided lower back quadrate fascia plane block combined with dexmedetomidine in postoperative analgesia after cesarean section.Methods:98 cases of women who underwent cesarean section in our hospital from Jan. 2021 to Jan. 2024 were selected, and all patients were divided into control group and study group with 49 cases each using random number table method.

The dosage of sufentanil for 12h, 24h and 48h in the study group was (15.17±3.24; 23.28±4.02; 41.61±4.82) μg, 48h analgesic pump compression times were (2.94±1.22) times, the number of relief analgesia cases were 3 times, the dosage of sufentanil at 12h, 24h, 48h in the control group was (20.08±4.03; 36.14±4.57; 59.33±6.25) μg, 48h analgesic pump compression times were (6.15±1.71) times, the number of relief analgesia cases was 10 times, the study group was lower than the control group ( P<0.05). The PSQI scores at 1d, 2d and 3d were 15.14±1.15; 16.31±1.21; 17.34±1.31 in the control group, while they were 13.25±1.08; 15.28±1.16; 16.45±1.25 in the study group, lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 10.20% in the study group and 26.53% in the control group, lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided lower back quadrate fascia plane block combined with dexmedetomidine can improve the recovery after cesarean section, reduce the pain after delivery and sufentanil dosage, improve the quality of sleep and reduce adverse reactions, and have a good analgesic effect.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of total laparoscopic surgery vs. open surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods:The clinical data of 45 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and 42 patients by open surgery from Mar 2017 to Mar 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference in demographics, Bismuth classification and excision extension between the two groups (all P>0.05). The laparoscopic surgery used longer time ( t=-1.366, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph node dissection and postoperative hospital stay favored laparoscopic method( t=0.043, t=0.026, t=-1.852, P<0.05). R 0 radical resection rate，postoperative complications were also in favor of laparoscopic surgery ( χ2=3.216, χ2=2.566, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative pathology and in hospital expenses (all P>0.05). The 1- and 3-year survival rate of the laparoscopic group was superior (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In spite of longer operational time，patients in laparoscopic hilar cholangiocarcinoma radical resection group have shorter postoperative in hospital stay and longer postoperative survival time.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in bile culture in patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections, in order to guide clinical optimization of antibiotics application.Methods:From March 30, 2017 to December 31, 2021, at Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, 753 patients with common bile duct stones and biliary tract infections and received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were selected. Bile samples were obtained for bacterial culture, strain type identification and drug sensitivity test in order to analyze bile pathogenic bacteria distribution, change trend and drug resistance. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:From 2017 to 2021, the total positive rate of bile culture in 753 patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection was 90.17% (679/753). From 2017 to 2021, the positive rates of bile culture were 82.05% (64/78), 88.81% (119/134), 88.03% (125/142), 93.87% (199/212), and 91.98% (172/187), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=10.78, P=0.029). The positive rate of bile culture in 2017 was lower than those in 2020 and 2021, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.43 and 5.57, P=0.002 and 0.018). There were no significant differences in the positive rates of bile culture among the other years (all P>0.05). A total of 1 033 pathogenic bacteria were detected in the 679 bile specimens with positive bile culture results. Among which the total proportion of Gram-negative bacilli was 57.02% (589/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 66.38% (77/116), 66.47% (111/167), 59.43% (104/175), 54.75% (173/316), and 47.88% (124/259), respectively. The total proportion of Gram-positive cocci was 41.05% (424/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 31.90% (37/116), 31.74% (53/167), 38.86% (68/175), 44.30% (140/316), and 48.65% (126/259), respectively. The total proportion of fungus was 1.94% (20/1 033), and from 2017 to 2021 the proportions were 1.72% (2/116), 1.80% (3/167), 1.71% (3/175), 0.95% (3/316), and 3.47% (9/259), respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the proportion of Gram-negative bacilli gradually decreased, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=20.14 and 17.91, P<0.001 and =0.001). From 2017 to 2021, the change in the proportion of fungus was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The main Gram-negative bacilli in the bile culture were Escherichia coli (31.36%, 324/1 033) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.68%, 131/1 033); the main Gram-positive cocci were Enterococcus faecalis (14.04%, 145/1 033) and Streptococcus salivarius (4.36%, 45/1 033). From 2017 to 2021, the proportions of Escherichia coli were 39.66% (46/116), 38.92% (65/167), 33.14% (58/175), 28.48% (90/316), and 25.10% (65/259), respectively, with gradual decrease and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=14.34, P=0.006). From 2017 to 2021 the detection rates of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 30.43% (14/46), 26.15% (17/65), 29.31% (17/58), 38.89% (35/90), 40.00% (26/65), and 4/15, 20.00% (5/25), 20% (5/25), 24.32% (9/37), and 31.03% (9/29), and there were no significant differences in the detection rates of ESBL between different years (both P>0.05). Conclusions:From 2017 to 2021, the positive rate of bile culture in patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with biliary tract infection showed an overall increasing trend. Gram-negative bacilli were still dominated in bile pathogenic bacteria, while the proportion of Gram-positive cocci remarkably increased, and the bile bacterial spectrum significantly changed. Clinicians should adjust the antibiotic dosing regimens according to the variation of bacterial spectrum and drug resistance.

Objective:To evaluate the value of preoperative peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and blood platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and immune indexes in the evaluation of the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 283 patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from May 2017 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and 100 healthy people who underwent physical examination during the same period were collected as the healthy control group. Test results of blood cells and immune cells expressions of all subjects were collected. Peripheral blood NLR and PLR of cervical cancer patients, people in the healthy control group and cervical cancer patients with different pathological characteristics were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and Cox regression risk model was used to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.Results:The preoperative peripheral blood NLR and PLR in patients with cervical cancer was higher than that of the healthy control group (NLR: 2.53±1.35 vs. 2.00±1.21, t = 5.35, P < 0.001; PLR: 163±57 vs.144±38, t = 4.71, P = 0.006). Pathological results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different pathological types, tumor diameter, vascular invasion, and nerve invasion (all P > 0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in NLR and PLR in peripheral blood of cervical cancer patients with different clinical staging and muscle wall invasion (all P < 0.05). When the proportions of the expression levels of preoperative CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells, and CD127 positive cells were 60%-85%, 30%-40%, < 25%, 8%-15%, 15%-25% and < 5%, respectively, the overall survival of cervical cancer patients was the best. Univariate analysis showed that pathological type, clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR,CD3 positive cells, CD4 positive cells, CD8 positive cells, CD19 positive cells, CD56 positive cells and CD127 positive cells were influencing factors of the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that clinical staging, vascular invasion, preoperative NLR, preoperative PLR, and preoperative CD4 positive cells were independent influencing factors for the overall survival of cervical cancer patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative high NLR and PLR in peripheral blood have a certain impact on the clinicopathological characteristics and poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients. When the immune cells in peripheral blood are in dynamic balance, the prognosis of cervical cancer patients is the best.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum is rare. Its pathogenesis is not clear and there is no standard treatment. One patient with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septum arising from deep infiltrative endometriosis was admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital. The patient presented with incessant menstruation and abdominal distension. She had bilateral ovarian endometriotic cystectomy 6 years ago. Imaging findings suggested a pelvic mass which might invade the rectovaginal septum. Pathological results of primary surgery confirmed endometrioid carcinoma of the pelvic mass arising from the rectovaginal septum. Then she had a comprehensive staged surgery. Postoperative chemotherapy was given 6 times. No recurrence or metastasis was found during the 2-year follow-up. The possibility of deep infiltrating endometriosis and its malignant transformation should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a new extragonadal pelvic lesion in a patient with a history of endometriosis, which would avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin during perioperative primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods A total of 423 elderly patients with acute STEMI who underwent primary PCI in our hospital were consecutively en-rolled in this study.According to different perioperative anticoagulant regimens,they were divided into bivalirudin group(187 cases)and unfractionated heparin group(236 cases).Baseline data,characteristics of interventional procedures and complications during hospitalization were ana-lyzed.Primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac or cerebral events(MACCE).Secondary end-points were net adverse clinical events.Other observational indicators included stent thrombosis,acquired thrombocytopenia,BARC types 1-2 bleeding and total bleeding events.Results In-hospital MACCE and all-cause mortality were significantly lower in the bivalirudin group than unfractionated heparin group(3.7％vs 9.7％,P=0.021;3.7％vs 8.9％,P=0.039).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that perioperative application of bivalirudin significantly reduced all-cause mortality in the patients with Killip grade Ⅰ and creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min when compared with unfractionated heparin(P＜0.05).Conclusion In elderly patients with acute STEMI,perioperative use of bivalirudin significantly reduces the incidences of MACCE and all-cause death during hospitalization,especially in the patients with Killip grade Ⅰ and creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min.

Objective:To explore the differences in clinicopathological features, survival status and prognostic influencing factors of breast cancer patients with different molecular subtypes, and to provide bases for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of new-onset female breast cancer patients hospitalized in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and patients were followed up. The clinicopathological features of patients with different molecular subtypes were compared. The follow-up was performed until June 30, 2021. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of patients, and Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the factors affecting overall survival (OS) of patients with different molecular subtypes.Results:There were 272 (14.9%), 1 005 (55.2%), 277 (15.2%) and 268 (14.7%) patients with subtypes of Luminal A, Luminal B, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), respectively. The differences in the distribution of patients with age at diagnosis, age at menarche, menopausal status, age at menopause, pathological type, longest tumor diameter, T staging, N staging, histological grading, and TNM staging were statistically significant among the four groups (all P < 0.05). At a median follow-up of 60 months, the 5-year OS rates of Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2 overexpression and TNBC subtypes were 93.8%, 89.2%, 77.6% and 78.0%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 58.76, P < 0.001). M staging was an independent influencing factor for OS in patients with Luminal A breast cancer ( HR = 16.789, 95% CI 4.972-56.690, P < 0.001); T staging ( HR = 2.721, 95% CI 1.715-4.319), N staging ( HR = 4.460, 95% CI 2.399-8.291) and M staging ( HR = 3.364, 95% CI 1.988-6.670) were independent influencing factors for OS in patients with Luminal B breast cancer (all P < 0.001); N staging ( HR = 4.428, 95% CI 1.836-10.677) and M staging ( HR = 13.489, 95% CI 6.043-30.107) were independent influencing factors for OS of patients with HER2 overexpression breast cancer (both P < 0.01); T staging ( HR = 3.052, 95% CI 1.575-5.915), N staging ( HR = 2.492, 95% CI 1.298-4.785) and M staging ( HR = 33.012, 95% CI 8.606-126.637) were independent influencing factors for OS of patients with TNBC (all P < 0.01). Conclusions:The clinicopathological features and prognostic influencing factors of breast cancer patients with different molecular subtypes are different, and the prognosis of HER2 overexpression and TNBC patients is poor. Clinicians should provide individualized treatment and follow-up programs for patients with different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
