ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Shenge Bushen Capsules （SBC） on sexual development in normal 3-week-old mice. MethodsThe experiment consisted of two parts. In the first part， mice were divided into four groups： The control group and the low， medium， and high-dose SBC groups （234.7， 469.4， 938.7 mg·kg^-1， respectively）. In the second part， mice were divided into four groups： Control group， Pseudostellariae Radix polysaccharide （PRP） group， total flavonoids group， and SBC group， all receiving a dose of 469.4 mg·kg^-1. After 7 days of administration， the vaginal opening of female mice and the descent of testes and scrotum in male mice， as well as the ovarian and testicular organ indices， were observed. After 4 weeks of administration， female and male mice were housed together for 2 days， and the pregnancy rate of females was monitored. After delivery， the pregnant female mice continued receiving the treatment for 4 weeks， and the sexual development of their offspring， including vaginal opening， testicular descent， and organ indices of ovaries and testes， was observed. Serum sex hormones were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH） and growth hormone （GH） proteins in the hypothalamus was assessed by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group， there was no significant effect on the vaginal opening of female mice or the descent of testes in male mice after 7 days of SBC administration. After 4 weeks of administration， the pregnancy rate in the low-dose group was significantly reduced （P<0.05）， but no significant effects were observed in the other groups. The three doses of SBC did not significantly affect the ovarian or testicular organ indices， and there was no significant upregulation in the expression of GnRH or GH in the hypothalamus. The primary component of SBC， Pseudostellariae Radix polysaccharide， significantly reduced the vaginal opening in female mice after 7 days of administration （P<0.05）. After 4 weeks， the serum estradiol levels of non-pregnant female mice were decreased （P<0.05）， but there was no significant effect on the expression of GnRH or GH proteins in the hypothalamus of either male or female mice. Additionally， there were no significant effects on precocious puberty indicators， such as vaginal opening and testicular descent， in the offspring mice. ConclusionSBC does not significantly promote precocious puberty in young mice， and it does not have any noticeable effects on the pregnancy rate of adult mice or the sexual development of their offspring.

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.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) score, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) grading, and the integrated model for end-stage liver disease (iMELD) score in assessing the short-term (90-day) prognosis of patients with cirrhosis complicated by overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 470 patients with cirrhosis and overt HE, and they were divided into survival group (n=359) and mortality group (n=111) based on their survival status 90 days after admission. The PNI and iMELD scores were calculated using patient demographics, blood routine tests, coagulation function, liver and renal function electrolyte levels, and serum NSE levels within 24 hours of admission, along with HE grading. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were employed to evaluate influencing factors of short-term prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and overt HE. Results The mortality group exhibited significantly higher serum NSE levels, HE grades, and iMELD scores, while demonstrated lower PNI score compared to the survival group (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score as independent predictors of short-term prognosis. The areas under the curve (AUCs) for serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score in predicting short-term prognosis were 0.727, 0.717, 0.721, and 0.728, respectively, with cut-off values of 12.23 ng/mL, 34.05 ng/mL, and 39.26 points for serum NSE, PNI score, and iMELD score. A combined prediction model of four factors demonstrated the highest predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.919 and a cut-off value of 0.23. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with combined score of serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD cut-off value < 0.23 had a significantly higher 90-day survival rate compared to those with cut-off value≥0.23 (Log-Rank=265.567, P < 0.001). Conclusion Serum NSE, PNI score, HE grade, and iMELD score exhibit good value in predicting the short-term prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and overt HE, with an even higher predictive value when used in combination.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of hypertension is high among Chinese adults, thus, identifying non-hypertensive individuals at high risk for intervention will help to improve the efficiency of primary prevention strategies. METHODS: The cross-sectional data on 9699 participants aged 20 to 80 years were collected from the China National Health Survey in Gansu and Hebei provinces in 2016 to 2017, and they were nonrandomly split into the training set and validation set based on location. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to develop the diagnostic prediction model, which was presented as a nomogram and a website with risk classification. Predictive performances of the model were evaluated using discrimination and calibration, and were further compared with a previously published model. Decision curve analysis was used to calculate the standardized net benefit for assessing the clinical usefulness of the model. RESULTS: The Lasso regression analysis identified the significant predictors of hypertension in the training set, and a diagnostic model was developed using logistic regression. A nomogram with risk classification was constructed to visualize the model, and a website ( https://chris-yu.shinyapps.io/hypertension_risk_prediction/ ) was developed to calculate the exact probabilities of hypertension. The model showed good discrimination and calibration, with the C-index of 0.789 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.768, 0.810) through internal validation and 0.829 (95% CI: 0.816, 0.842) through external validation. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the model was clinically useful. The model had a higher area under receiver operating characteristic curves in training and validation sets compared with a previously published diagnostic model based on Northern China population. CONCLUSION This study developed and validated a diagnostic model for hypertension prediction in Gansu Province. A nomogram and a website were developed to make the model conveniently used to facilitate the individualized prediction of hypertension in the general population of Han and Yugur.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of symptom burden and extract symptom clusters in lung cancer patients at the end of thoracic radiotherapy.Methods Lung cancer patients receiving Thoracic Radiotherapy were collected from 20 tertiary hospitals in China,including Guang'anmen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine,during November 2014—September 2017,and the MDASI-TCM scale assessed patient symptoms at the end of radiotherapy,and descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis explored symptom burden and the distribution of TCM symptom clusters.Results At the end of radiotherapy,45.1%of patients reported two or more moderate to severe symptoms,with fatigue being the most prevalent and severe symptom.Fatigue(31.4%),cough(30.9%),expectoration(24.1%),distress(23.2%)and shortness of breath(20.9%)were the top five symptoms from the highest to the lowest in the incidence of moderate to severe symptoms.The enjoyment of life(36.4%)had the highest incidence of interference with moderate to severe symptoms.Exploratory Factor analysis extracted three symptom clusters,namely the excessive heat and damaged yin-Spleen and stomach disorders related symptom cluster,the heart and spleen-deficient related symptom cluster,and the lung qi-unfriendly related symptom cluster,with a cumulative variance contribution of 70.1%.Conclusion Lung cancer patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy have a certain symptom burden at the end of radiotherapy.The identification of symptom burden and symptom group characteristics is conducive to promoting standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation and laying a preliminary foundation for formulating reasonable and effective TCM intervention measures in the future.

Objective To observe the effect of deep muscle relaxation by rocuronium on oxygenation of normal frequency jet ventilation during rigid bronchoscopy procedures.Methods From December 2021 to February 2023,60 patients with central airway diseases underwent rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia,they were randomly divided into deep muscle relaxation group(group D,n = 30)and moderate muscle relaxation group(group M,n = 30).After induction of general anesthesia,the patients were inserted rigid bronchoscopy for jet ventilation,muscle relaxant was rocuronium in induction and maintenance.Train of four(TOF)stimulation was used to measure the depth of muscle relaxation in group M,and the TOF count was maintained at 1 or 2;In Group D,the depth of muscle relaxation was measured by post tetanic count(PTC),and the PTC was maintained at 1 or 2.After operation,Sugammadex antagonized residual muscle relaxation.Results There was no significant difference in operation time,recovery time and extubation time between the two groups(P＞0.05).The total operation time,operation pause time and anesthesia time in group D were shorter than those in group M,the dosage of muscle relaxant in group D was more than that in group M,the incidence of hypoxemia during surgery in group D was less than that in group M,the operators'satisfaction in group D was better than that in group M,and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)in group D was higher than that in group M at 15 min(T1)and 30 min(T2)after jet ventilation,the number of patients with postoperative sore throat in group D was less than that in group M,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of deep muscle relaxation by rocuronium in rigid bronchoscopy procedures can improve the oxygenation effect of normal frequency jet ventilation,reduce the operation pause time and anesthesia time,improve the satisfaction of operators,antagonizing residual muscle relaxation with Sugammadex can relieve the worry of delayed recovery from deep muscle relaxation.

Objective:To explore the pathological differences of surgically resected specimens of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to different neoadjuvant therapies (neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy and toripalimab combined with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy).Methods:Thirty patients diagnosed with advanced ESCC who underwent surgical operation after neoadjuvant therapy in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from October 2020 to September 2021 were included. Among them, 15 patients received neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (radiochemotherapy group) and 15 patients were treated with toripalimab combined with radiochemotherapy (immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group). Surgically resected specimens were collected. The histopathological features of primary esophageal lesions and the responses of involved lymph nodes were analyzed and compared between two groups.Results:The major pathological response (MPR) rate in the radiochemotherapy group was 10/15, and 14/15 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P=0.17). The pathological complete response (pCR) rate of the primary lesions in the radiochemotherapy group was 7/15, and 10/15 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P=0.46). In the radiochemotherapy group, the incidence rate of tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) was 7/15, and 12/15 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P=0.02). The incidence rate of necrosis in the radiochemotherapy group was 6/15, and 1/15 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P=0.03). In addition, the incidence rate of foam cell infiltration in the radiochemotherapy group was 6/15, and 13/15 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P=0.01). Furthermore, the pCR rate of involved lymph nodes in the radiochemotherapy group was 7/33, and 11/12 in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with the radiochemotherapy group, the incidence of TLS and foam cell infiltration is higher, the incidence of necrosis is lower and clinical efficacy of involved lymph nodes is higher in the immunotherapy combined with radiochemotherapy group, prompting that toripalimab combined with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy exert higher synergistic immune effect.
