ObjectiveTo observe the regulation effect of Sangmei Zhike granules on airway inflammation and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA)-cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) pathway in cough variant asthma (CVA) rats with Fengfu Yinshang syndrome. MethodsEight-week-old male rats were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, western medicine group, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group. Except for the blank group, Fengfu Yinshang models of CVA were established in the other groups. On the 16th day of the experiment, the western medicine group was treated with budesonide aerosol inhalation (dosage of 0.5 g·L-1), and the TCM group was given Sangmei Zhike granules by gavage (dosage of 4.19 g·kg-1·d-1), with each group treated once daily for 14 days. On the 30th day of the experiment, lung function parameters were determined. Whole blood inflammatory cell detection, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of lung tissue, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of CREB, phosphorylated CREB (pCREB), and phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (pVASP) proteins in rat lung tissue, and Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to determine the protein expressions of cAMP, CREB, and PKA in rat lung tissue. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression of PKA, VASP, p-VASP, CREB, and p-CREB proteins. ResultsCompared with the model group, the average dynamic lung compliance (CDynaverage) in the TCM group increased (P0.05). Compared with the model group, the TCM group showed a decrease in absolute and percentage values of neutrophils (NEUT%), absolute values of lymphocytes (LYMPH), absolute and percentage values of basophils (BASO%), absolute values of monocytes (MONO), absolute and percentage values of eosinophils (EOS%), and white blood cells (WBC) (P0.05). Compared with the western medicine group, the TCM group showed a decrease in MONO, EOS%, and LYMPH% and an increase in MONO% (P0.05). ELISA results showed that compared with the model group, the TCM group had increased interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and decreased interleukins (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, and total serum IgE, while the Western medicine group had increased IFN-γ and decreased IL-5, IL-13, and total serum IgE (P0.05). Compared with the western medicine group, the TCM group had decreased IL-5 (P0.05). HE staining results of rat lung tissue showed that the ciliated epithelium of the D bronchi in the TCM group recovered well. Mucous edema secretion decreased, and a small number of bronchiolar epithelial cells were shed, with reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells and the degree of epithelial injury. Immunohistochemical (IHC) results showed that compared with the model group, positive expressions of CREB, pCREB, and pVASP (brownish-yellow) were significantly increased in the TCM and western medicine groups. Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the model group, the relative expression levels of cAMP, CREB, and PKA in the TCM group were significantly increased (P0.05), and compared with the western medicine group, the TCM group also showed significantly increased relative expression levels of cAMP, CREB, and PKA (P0.05). WB results showed that compared with the model group, the expressions of PKA, VASP, p-VASP, CREB, p-CREB, and p-CREB/CREB proteins were increased in the TCM group, while p-VASP/VASP protein expression decreased (P0.05). Compared with the western medicine group, the TCM group had increased expressions of PKA, VASP, and p-CREB proteins and decreased p-VASP/VASP expression (P0.05). ConclusionSangmei Zhike granules have the effect of improving lung function and inhibiting airway inflammation in rats with CVA due to Fengfu Yinshang syndrome, possibly related to the activation of the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway.

Objective To explore the feasibility and accuracy of using indocyanine green fluorescence (ICGF) to identify the intersegmental plane after ligation of the target pulmonary vein during thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Methods From December 2022 to June 2023, the patients with pulmonary nodules undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy with intersegmental plane displayed using ICGF after ligation of the target pulmonary vein by the same medical team in our hospital were collected. Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction was used to identify the target segment where the pulmonary nodule was located and the anatomical structure of the arteries, veins, and bronchi in the target segment. The intersegmental plane was first determined by the inflation-deflation method after the target pulmonary vein was ligated during the operation. During the waiting period, the target artery and bronchus could be separated but not cut off. The inflation-deflation boundary was marked by electrocoagulation, and then ICGF was injected via peripheral vein to identify the intersegmental plane again, and the consistency of the two intersegmental planes was finally evaluated. Results Finally 32 patients were collected, including 14 males and 18 females, with an average age of 58.69±11.84 years, ranging from 25 to 76 years. The intersegmental plane determined by inflation-deflation method was basically consistent with ICGF method in all patients. All the 32 patients successfully completed uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy without ICGF-related complications or perioperative death. The average operation time was 98.59±20.72 min, the average intraoperative blood loss was 45.31±35.65 mL, and the average postoperative chest tube duration was 3.50±1.16 days. The average postoperative hospital stay was 4.66±1.29 days, and the average tumor margin width was 26.96±5.86 mm. Conclusion The ICGF can safely and accurately identify the intersegmental plane by target pulmonary venous preferential ligation in thoracoscopic segmentectomy, which is a useful exploration and important supplement to the simplified thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy.

Objective:To understand the oral health and frailty status of the elderly in the community in Beijing and analyze the correlation between the two, so as to provide a reference for the frailty management of the elderly in the community.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Using the multi-stage stratified sampling method, a total of 241 community elderly people in 9 communities in Beijing from July to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and the Fried Frailty Phenotype. Univariate analysis and ordinal logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of frailty among the elderly in the community. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.6%.Results:Among the 241 community elders, 115 (47.7%) were not frail, 92 (38.2%) were pre-frail and 34 (14.1%) were frail. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of teeth of 0-9, 10-19, dry mouth and incomplete or unrepaired restoration of missing teeth were risk factors for frailty among the elderly in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:From the perspective of oral health, this study further analyzes the risk factors of frailty in the elderly in the community. Medical institutions and elderly care institutions at all levels can use oral health status as a screening item for the frailty risk of the elderly in the community, providing new ideas for the prevention and intervention of frailty in the community.
