BACKGROUND:For non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head,if the femoral head collapses,it will have a great impact on the normal life of the patients.Thus,it is necessary to use an appropriate way to evaluate the risk of femoral head collapse and then to take targeted measures to delay the process of femoral head collapse. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the natural course of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head(without collapse)under different locations of necrotic lesions. METHODS:121 patients(191 hips)with early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head who were treated in the Outpatient Department of Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in this study.The clinical data of all patients were followed up for 5 years to observe the collapse of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the risk coefficient of femoral head collapse among different JIC types.The collapse rate of osteonecrosis of the femoral head was calculated during the follow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 191 hips were included in this study.The femoral head collapsed in 86 hips during follow-up,with a total collapse rate of 45.0%.Among the influencing factors,age,ARCO stage and JIC classification were the main influencing factors of femoral head collapse(P<0.05),but body mass index,sex,incidence side and pathogenic factors were not the main influencing factors(P>0.05).(2)Among 191 hips,in JIC classification,the total collapse rates of type A,type B,type C1 and type C2 were 11.1%(2/18),30.2%(16/53),52.4%(43/82),and 65.8%(25/38),respectively.There were significant differences in the total collapse rate of the femoral head among all types(P<0.05).The collapse risk results showed that the collapse risk of type B,type C1 and type C2 was 2.41,5.22 and 7.89 times higher than that of type A,respectively.(3)Both JIC classification and ARCO stage were correlated with femoral head collapse(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the collapse rate of the femoral head among all JIC types in ARCO I stage hips(P>0.05).In the hips with ARCO II stage,the collapse rates of the femoral head of JIC types A,B,C1 and C2 were 1.2%,19.5%,50.0%and 29.3%,respectively,and there were significant differences in the collapse rates among different types(P<0.05).(4)During follow-up,the collapse rates of the femoral head in the first to fifth years were 29.3%,7.9%,4.7%,2.6%and 0.5%,respectively.(5)Results showed that for early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head,the risk of collapse of osteonecrosis of the femoral head is high within one year,and the location of the focus of osteonecrosis affects the risk of collapse of the femoral head.The effect of the location of the focus on the prognosis of the disease should be considered in clinical treatment.

In this study, a new in situ film of compound iodine oral spray was prepared by in situ gel technology, which was used to exert sustained-release effect for promoting the repair of oral ulcer wounds. Firstly, the formulation and process of the spray solution were optimized according to the spray state and film-forming time. The drug-liquid mixing ratio was evaluated by film-forming time and drug film adhesion. The drug content, stability, pH, and spraying effect of compound iodine oral spray prepared by the optimal formulation were investigated; and the physicochemical properties, including film formation time, solubility, hygroscopicity, moisture retention and in vitro release of drug film were evaluated. In addition, the biocompatibility of the film-forming materials and proliferation ability of drug film were investigated by cell experiment. Through the rabbit oral ulcer model, the in vivo film-forming and repair-promoting effects of compound iodine oral spray were evaluated. The results showed that the pH of liquid A and liquid B prepared were 6.21±0.02 and 6.42±0.03, respectively, which were in line with the normal pH range of oral mucosa; liquid A and liquid B had good stability and spray state; the iodine content in solution B was (1.96±0.01) mg/mL; the in situ membrane formation time in vitro and in the oral cavity were (118.3±3.6) s and (133.3±4.6) s, respectively; the 24-hour dissolution rate was (87.31±1.74)%, the moisture absorption rate was (124.17±7.13)%, and the moisture retention rate was (26.85±2.50)%; the iodine content in the oral spray was (47.42±0.39) mg/g, with good flexibility and adhesion, as well as some slow-release effect. In cell experiment, the film-forming materials showed good biocompatibility and growth promotion ability. The results of the rabbit oral ulcer experiment showed that the compound iodine oral spray could rapidly form a film in vivo and significantly promote the repair of oral ulcer. In conclusion, the compound iodine oral spray in situ film with a stable preparation process can effectively promote the repair of oral ulcer wounds, which provides a new idea for the research of novel oral mucosa formulations, with a good prospect of transfer.
4.Exploring the Connotation of Induction of Doctor-Patient Relationship in Traditional Chinese MedicineBased on the Theory of Congruence Between Manifestation and Root Cause from The Inner Canon of YellowEmperor (《黄帝内经》)
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(20):2070-2074
Under the understanding of qi monism and the unity of body and spirit, the doctor-patient relationship in traditional Chinese medicine is subordinate to the induction relationship of the natural holism, which has profound philosophical connotations in traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the theory of congruence between manifestation and root cause from The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), we analysed the inductive connotation of the doctor-patient relationship from three levels: at the level of natural root, doctors and patients, as individuals in the qi world, have a deep and broad pattern to reach the root of cosmic generation and transformation; at the level of individual life, doctors are relatively harmonious internally and externally and are quiet and sensitive, and they have the potential ability to assist the patients who deviate from the healthy state to return to their own yin and yang balance; at the level of specific treatment, doctors and patients sense each other, forming a space-time field where spirit and qi are connected, so that the patient's qi and blood can be easily regulated and returned to the healthy state by calming mind and spirit, and at the same time, in the positive change of the qi, both sides will be converted to neutral and harmonious state together. This kind of induction relationship is based on the principle of spirit governing qi, with "inaction" as the root, which is the source of vitality of "nothingness" in the process of Chinese medicine treatment as "the generation cycle of the Being and the Nothingness".

Objective:To investigate the potential value of saccade and antisaccade parameters in early identification of Parkinson′s disease (PD) and its motor subtypes.Methods:A total of 111 PD patients [tremor dominant (TD) type in 45, postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD) type in 54 and indeterminate type in 12)] and 54 healthy controls were recruited from Department of Neurology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from July 2022 to July 2023. All subjects underwent oculomotor test including visually guided saccades and volitional antisaccades by the Eyeknow-M10-B Eye tracker. For PD patients, TD and PIGD scores were measured using the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part Ⅱ and Part Ⅲ. Oculomotor parameters among TD, PIGD patients and healthy controls were firstly compared. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between ocular parameters with differences and TD/PIGD score. Then receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was made between PD patients and healthy controls, as well as between PIGD and TD subtypes.Results:Compared to healthy controls, PD patients showed significantly decreased saccadic accuracy [100.0%(90.0%, 100.0%) vs 100.0%(100.0%, 100.0%), U=1 732.500, P<0.001], prolonged latency [252.2(228.5, 300.1) ms vs 227.7(214.2, 241.8) ms, U=1 401.000, P<0.001], minimum duration [233.6(211.2, 278.8) ms vs 211.0(200.0, 222.5) ms, U=1 534.500, P<0.001], average duration [356.6(313.8, 427.8) ms vs 279.4(267.4, 312.9) ms, U=881.000, P<0.001],as well as decreased peak [444.4(335.0, 593.7) °/s vs 526.7(412.6, 696.2) °/s, U=1 971.000, P=0.007] and average velocity [196.3(144.4, 240.5) °/s vs 256.7(226.7, 312.0) °/s, U=1 330.000, P<0.001] in saccades. And in antisaccades, PD patients also showed prolonged latency [432.0(362.9, 599.8) ms vs 352.9(309.8, 407.6) ms, U=1 553.000, P<0.001], minimum duration [333.4(299.8, 377.6) ms vs 290.1(263.9, 332.9) ms, U=1 608.000, P<0.001], average duration [518.2(462.7, 603.5) ms vs 424.2(377.1, 473.5) ms, U=1 181.000, P<0.001], decreased peak [458.5(327.9, 604.3) °/s vs 560.4(440.3, 698.5) °/s, U=1 838.500, P=0.001] and average velocity [186.6(143.1, 228.1) °/s vs 263.2(217.2, 301.5) °/s, U=1 131.000, P<0.001]. There was no statistically significant difference in antisaccadic accuracy [55.0%(15.0%, 80.0%) vs 66.7%(39.4%, 86.9%), U=2 167.500, P=0.053]. Compared with TD subtype, PIGD patients showed significantly decreased antisaccadic peak velocity [416.2(300.3, 534.3) °/s vs 527.1(402.3, 636.4) °/s, U=-26.474, P=0.009]. After adjusting for age, gender and education, antisaccadic peak velocity was negatively correlated with PIGD score in PD patients (β=-0.296, P=0.001), and no correlation with TD score was found. The ROC analysis was performed on combined saccadic and antisaccade metrics between PD patients and healthy controls, with area under the curve (AUC) as 0.918. For antisaccadic peak velocity between PIGD and TD subtypes, the AUC was 0.690. Conclusions:Eye movement metrics have potential value in distinguishing PD patients from healthy controls. The antisaccadic peak velocity is related to the severity of motor symptoms in PIGD patients, which is helpful for distinguishing the motor subtypes of PD patients.

Cardiac arrest most commonly occurs outside of the hospital, known as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and is an important global health problem. Approximately 40% of cardiac arrest has no clear cause. Hereditary arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies factors contribute to cardiac arrest. The identification of genetic factors for cardiac arrest after its occurrence is of great value not only for the individual, but also for relatives who may be at risk for the disease in their family. In the United States, there are over 350?000 cases of OHCA and over 200?000 cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) each year, and in Western Europe, cardiac arrest accounts for 15%-20% of all adult natural deaths and 50% of all cardiovascular deaths. In order to reduce the burden caused by cardiac arrest within society, it is essential to further understand its etiological factors, such as incidence in different regions, risk factors, and populations at higher risk. For each individual, cardiac arrest is the result of a complex interaction of genetic and acquired factors. Understanding the complex interplay of pathogenic factors in cardiac arrest and the development of individualized prevention and treatment approaches requires the collection of clinical data from cardiac arrest populations and multimodal analysis in order to identify epidemiological features and risk factors for cardiac arrest. Recently, cardiac arrest-related data are being collected and integrated in Europe in different regions and populations. As a result of the commitment to the creation of large datasets of clinical information on cardiac arrest populations, the knowledge of the pathology of cardiac arrest pathogenesis as well as risk factors is steadily increasing. This article reviews the epidemiologic data of cardiac arrest in recent years and the associated risk factors, thus providing ideas for developing better strategies for the prevention and treatment of cardiac arrest.
