ObjectiveTo explore the influence of "Internet plus" postpartum health care service on postpartum depression, and to provide an evidence for reducing the incidence of postpartum depression and improving the quality of life for postnatal women. MethodsMothers who gave birth between August 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023 lived in the six streets of Xuhui District were selected as the research subjects. The puerperants were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group according to the order of enrollment using a numerical numbering system, with 210 cases in each of the intervention group and control group. The intervention group adopted the "Internet plus" postpartum health care services, while the control group adopted the conventional postpartum health care services. The risk factors related to postpartum mental health and the incidence of postpartum depression were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the scores of postpartum mental health-related risk factors between the two groups at the first 2 weeks and 1st month after delivery (t=0.736 and t=1.260, P>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference in the scores of postpartum mental health-related risk factors at the 3rd months after delivery and 6th months after delivery (t=2.089, P<0.05; t=2.655, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in depression scores at the first 2 weeks after the birth (t=0.560, P>0.05). In the 1st month, the 3rd month and the 6th month after delivery, the intervention group adopted the "Internet plus" postpartum health care service, thus the differences in depression scores were statistically significant (t=2.616, t=2.793 and t=3.107, P<0.05). Conclusion"Internet plus" postpartum health care service is conducive to reducing postpartum depression, promoting maternal mental health, and significantly improving the well-being of postnatal women.

The occurrence of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)was related to disrupted sex steroid hormones,and metformin(Met)had a clinical response to sex steroid hormone-related gynaecological disease.How-ever,whether Met exerts an antiproliferative effect on BPH via sex steroid hormones remains unclear.Here,our clinical study showed that along with prostatic epithelial cell(PEC)proliferation,sex steroid hormones were dysregulated in the serum and prostate of BPH patients.As the major contributor to dysregulated sex steroid hormones,elevated dihydrotestosterone(DHT)had a significant positive rela-tionship with the clinical characteristics of BPH patients.Activation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK)by Met restored dysregulated sex steroid hormone homeostasis and exerted antiproliferative effects against DHT-induced proliferation by inhibiting the formation of androgen receptor(AR)-mediated Yes-associated protein(YAP1)-TEA domain transcription factor(TEAD4)heterodimers.Met's anti-proliferative effects were blocked by AMPK inhibitor or YAP1 over-expression in DHT-cultured BPH-1 cells.Our findings indicated that Met would be a promising clinical therapeutic approach for BPH by inhibiting dysregulated steroid hormone-induced PEC proliferation.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of finerenone in treating the pa-tients with heart failure.Methods The databases of Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science and Scopus were retrieved.The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to April 21,2024.The data of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on finerenone in treating heart failure were collected.After screening the literatures and extracting the data,the Jadad scale and Cochrane bias risk assessment tool were used to evaluate the quality of included literatures.The RevMan5.4 software was adopted to conduct the meta analysis.Results Five RCTs involving in a total of 2 518 patients with heart failure were finally included.In the aspect of effectiveness outcome indicators,there was no statistical difference in improving NT-proBNP lev-els and cardiovascular mortality risk between finerenone and eplerenone(P＞0.05).Compared with placebo,finerenone could reduce the ris k of first hospitalization due to heart failure(RR=0.68,95％CI:0.49-0.94,P=0.02)and the risk of cardiovascular composite endpoint event(RR=0.79,95％CI:0.64-0.98,P=0.03).In the aspects of safe outcome indicators,the occurrence risk of adverse events of finerenone was slight-ly lower than that of placebo(RR=0.95,95％CI:0.90-1.01),the risk of finerenone induced hyperkalemia was slightly lower than that of eplerenone(RR=0.90,95％CI:0.46-1.76),but the difference was not statis-tically significant(P＞0.05).Finerenone had a higher risk for causing hyperkalemia than placebo(RR=2.07,95％CI:1.46-2.95,P＜0.01).Conclusion Finerenone could reduce the NT-proBNP level,risk of first time HHF and the cardiovascular composite endpoint event,moreover its safe and tolerance are good.

Objective To observe the neuropsychiatric behavioral performance of kainic acid(KA)-induced epilepsy rats;investigate gender differences in acute seizure and behavioral performance tasks relating to sense,motor,learning,and memory in the remission phase;and explore the potential neurobiological mechanisms of action.Methods Healthy SD rats aged 4 weeks were randomly divided into control and model groups,with 22 rats in each group(11 males and 11 females).An epileptic rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of KA.Seizure latency and frequency within 2 hours of KA injection were observed,seizure grade was assessed using the Racine grade standard,and a cortical electroencephalogram(EEG)was recorded.Behavioral performance was observed in a series of tasks including open field testing,balance beam walking,elevated plus maze,Y-maze,and novel object recognition.The level of GABA in the hippocampus was detected by ELISA,injury to hippocampal neurons was observed by Nissl staining,and the protein expression of synapsin-1 and synaptotagmin 1 in the hippocampus were detected by Western Blot.Results Both male and female rats presented typical epileptic behaviors after KA injection.However,compared with the effects in males,the latency of the first seizure(P=0.014)and Ⅳ～Ⅴ grading in female model rats were more pronounced(P＜0.01),and the frequency of epileptic seizures within 2 hours was significantly reduced(P=0.019).In the open field testing,KA-induced epileptic rats presented more motor but fewer hedonic behaviors,as indicated by the decrease in total movement distance in the central area,compared with the control group.Moreover,grooming frequency was significantly reduced in the female model rats compared with not only that in the control but also that in male model rats(P＜0.01).The model rats spent more time completing and had a higher score in the balance beam walking task,indicating their poorer stability and balance.In the elevated plus maze,the exploration times of male model rats in the closed arm was increased.The preference index of rats for the novel arm or object decreased in the Y-maze and novel object recognition,suggesting impairments to their learning and memory abilities.Moreover,neuronal injuries were found in the hippocampus of the model rats that were accompanied with a decline in GABA concentration and protein expression of synapsin-1 and synaptotagmin 1,with no gender differences.Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of KA successfully induced an epilepsy rat model.However,there was a gender difference in the characters of acute seizures and performance of sensory,motor,and learning memory during epileptic remission.There was no gender differences in the hippocampal GABA concentration or expression of synaptic plasticity-related proteins,and thus no evidence was found for the mechanisms underlying the gender differences.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Primary liver cancer is one of the prevalent malignant neoplasm in China, characterized by a high incidence rate and a dismal prognosis. Upon diagnosis, the majority of patients have progressed to an advanced or intermediate stage, rendering radical surgery impracticable. With the advent and ongoing advancement of translational therapy, the prognosis of patients with middle- to late-stage unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma has been substantially enhanced through the successful conversion of this disease from unresectable to surgically resectable. At present, the primary clinical treatment options for transformative conditions consist of local therapy, systemic therapy, or a combination of the two. This article examines and anticipates the diverse facets of the conversion treatment options for initial unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, surgical indications and timing following treatment, and postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

Polymyxin B, which is a last-line antibiotic for extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, became available in China in Dec. 2017. As dose adjustments are based solely on clinical experience of risk toxicity, treatment failure, and emergence of resistance, there is an urgent clinical need to perform therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to optimize the use of polymyxin B. It is thus necessary to standardize operating procedures to ensure the accuracy of TDM and provide evidence for their rational use. We report a consensus on TDM guidelines for polymyxin B, as endorsed by the Infection and Chemotherapy Committee of the Shanghai Medical Association and the Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Committee of the Chinese Pharmacological Society. The consensus panel was composed of clinicians, pharmacists, and microbiologists from different provinces in China and Australia who made recommendations regarding target concentrations, sample collection, reporting, and explanation of TDM results. The guidelines provide the first-ever consensus on conducting TDM of polymyxin B, and are intended to guide optimal clinical use.

Objective:To translate and culturally adjust Decisional Fatigue Scale (DFS) , and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of DFS was formed through the method of double translation, back translation and expert consultation. Using the convenient sampling method, 247 medical staffs from 16 departments in 76 wards of Xiangyang No.1 People's Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University of Medicine were selected as the research objects. Content validity, criterion validity and structure validity were used for validity evaluation, and internal consistency reliability, split half reliability and retest reliability were used for reliability evaluation. A total of 247 questionnaires were sent out in this study and 247 were effectively received, with effective recovery of 100.00%.Results:The total Cronbach's α coefficient of Chinese DFS was 0.933, the half-reliability coefficient was 0.849 and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.838 ( P<0.01) . Both the item content validity index and scale content validity index were 1.00, and the correlation coefficient with the total score of SRF-S was 0.729 ( P<0.01) . One common factor was extracted by exploratory factor analysis and 65.64% of the variation was explained cumulatively, which was consistent with the dimensions of the original scale. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all fitting indexes were up to standard and the fitting degree was good. Conclusions:The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of DFS in medical staffs is good, which can be used to evaluate the degree of decision-making fatigue of Chinese medical staffs.
