ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Bushen Tiaojing Formula （补肾调经方） on the quality of early embryos in repeated controlled ovarian stimulation （COS） and its possible mechanism. MethodsA total of 150 ICR female mice were divided into a normal group， a model group， an inhibitor group， a low-dose and a high-dose Bushen Tiaojing Formula group. Mice in the normal group， inhibitor group and model group were gavaged with distilled water 0.25 ml a day， and mice in the low- and high-dose groups were given 25.6 and 51.2 g/（kg·d） of Bushen Tiaojing Formula， respectively. All groups were gavaged once a day for 13 days as a cycle. Mice in the normal group were injected intraperitoneally with 0.1 ml normal saline on the 11th day of gavage， while mice in the other four groups were used to establish COS models. The inhibitor group was injected with the endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid 0.2 ml one hour before modelling. All groups were injected by gavage and intraperitoneal injection for 3 consecutive cycles， with an interval of 4 days between cycles. Immediately after the third intraperitoneal injection， mice were grouped with male mice of the same strain in a ratio of 2∶1， and at 8AM of the second day， the mice were examined， and those with spermatozoa or spermatozoa in the vaginal smears were recorded as pregnant. The mice were executed in the afternoon of the 4th day of pregnancy， and the blastocysts were obtained under an inverted microscope. The morphology of the blastocysts was observed， and the total number of blastocysts and the number of high-quality blastocysts were recorded to calculate the rate of high-quality blastocysts； the apoptosis of blastocyst cells was detected by the Tunel method， and the apoptosis rate was calculated； the endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP）， B-lymphoblastoma 2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， cystathionin 3 （Caspase-3） and cystathionin 12 （Caspase-12） protein levels and their mRNA expression were detected by immunofluorescent assay and RT-qPCR assay， respectively. ResultsIn the normal group， blastocysts had regular morphology， good morphological development and low fragmentation rate； in the model group， blastocysts were poorly developed， cell morphology was irregular， fragmentation rate was high， and there was some stagnation； in the inhibitor group and high-dose， low-dose Bushen Tiaojing Formula groups， cell morphology could be seen to be better developed， with regular morphology and less fragmentation rate. Compared with the normal group， the rate of high-quality blastocysts in the model group reduced， the rate of apoptosis of blastocyst cells increased， the levels of GRP78， CHOP， Caspase-12， Caspase-3， Bax protein and its mRNA expression in blastocysts increased， while the level of Bcl-2 protein and its mRNA reduced （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the rate of high-quality blastocysts increased， the rate of apoptosis of blastocysts decreased， the levels of GRP78， CHOP， Caspase-12， Caspase-3， Bax protein and their mRNA expression decreased， and the levels of Bcl-2 protein and its mRNA expression increased in the blastocysts in the inhibitor group and the high-dose and low-dose Bushen Tiaojing Formula groups （P＜0.01）. Compared with the inhibitor group， GRP78， CHOP， Caspase-12， Bax protein levels and their mRNA expressions increased in the high-dose Bushen Tiaojing Formula group， and Caspase-12， Caspase-3， Bax protein levels and their mRNA expressions increased in the low-dose formula group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionBushen Tiaojing Formula can inhibit the apoptosis of blastocyst cells caused by repeated controlled ovarian stimulation by improving endoplasmic reticulum stress， which plays a role in improving the quality of early embryos.

Objective To understand the current status of radiation diagnosis and treatment resources and their use in Taiyuan City, China, and provide data support for optimizing resource allocation and standardizing diagnosis and treatment. Methods A census-based approach was implemented using a standardized questionnaire to collect basic information on radiation diagnosis and treatment institutions in Taiyuan City. The number and use frequency of radiation diagnosis and treatment resources were calculated based on the resident population of Taiyuan City at the end of 2023. Results There were a total of 562 radiation diagnosis and treatment institutions in Taiyuan City, with 3970 workers and 1354 pieces of equipment. The numbers of radiation diagnosis and treatment institutions, workers, and equipment per 1 000 000 population were 103, 728, and 248, respectively. There were significant differences in radiation diagnosis and treatment resources among different districts and counties. There were 526 (93.59%) radiation diagnosis and treatment institutions and 25 (96.15%) tertiary hospitals in the six urban districts. All institutions offering nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment and radiotherapy were located in the urban districts. There were substantial disparities among hospitals of different levels. The average numbers of radiation workers and equipment were in the order of tertiary hospitals (99.42, 17.15) > secondary hospitals (13.31, 4.62) > primary and unrated hospitals (1.43, 1.38). The frequency of radiation diagnosis and treatment in tertiary hospitals was 112 149 per hospital, which is 5 times that of secondary hospitals and 44 times that of primary and unrated hospitals. The use frequency of radiation diagnosis and treatment was 975.79 per 1000 population. The use frequency was 941.12 per 1000 population for X-ray diagnosis, 21.68 per 1000 population for interventional radiology, 8.70 per 1000 population for nuclear medicine diagnosis, 2.33 per 1000 population for nuclear medicine treatment, and 1.95 per 1000 population for radiotherapy. Conclusion There are abundant radiation diagnosis and treatment resources in Taiyuan City. The use frequency of radiation diagnosis and treatment has reached the level of Class II medical and health care regions, and there remains considerable room for growth and improvement. At present, the distribution of radiation diagnosis and treatment resources and services is unbalanced among different districts and counties as well as among institutions of different levels, mainly concentrated in urban districts and tertiary hospitals. The health administrative department needs to make overall plans and allocate resources scientifically.

Objective To explore the relationship between preoperative coronary angiography and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent coronary angiography within 30 days before cardiac surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the relationship between the interval from preoperative coronary angiography to cardiac surgery and postoperative AKI. Results Finally 1 112 patients were collected, including 700 males and 412 females, with a median age of 61 (55, 66) years. The incidence of postoperative AKI was 40.8% (454/1 112), of which grade 2-3 AKI accounted for 11.9%. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR=1.049, 95%CI 1.022-1.077, P<0.001), body mass index (OR=1.065, 95%CI 1.010-1.123, P=0.020) and time interval between preoperative coronary angiography and cardiac surgery within 24 hours (OR=1.625, 95%CI 1.116-2.364, P=0.011) were independent predictors of postoperative AKI. Patients who underwent coronary angiography within 24 hours before surgery had a 10.6% higher incidence of postoperative AKI compared to those who underwent angiography ≥24 hours before surgery (P=0.004). Patients who underwent valve surgery with or without coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) had a higher risk of AKI than those who only underwent CABG. The in-hospital stay of patients who developed AKI was 2 days longer than those without AKI. However, undergoing coronary angiography within 24 hours before cardiac surgery did not prolong the length of ICU stay or hospital stay, nor did it increase the risk of death or renal failure after the operation. Conclusion Undergoing coronary angiography within 24 hours before cardiac surgery increases the risk of postoperative AKI.

Chronic aortic stenosis and regurgitation can cause left ventricular remodeling.Whether these changes are reversible and their reversibility after valve replacement are the main determinants affecting the timing and prognosis of surgery.Imaging techniques are commonly used to evaluate myocardial structure and function,in which echocardiography and enhanced CT are helpful to evaluate artificial flap function and monitor left ventricular deformation,while cardiac MR and PET/CT are helpful to identify the progression and regression of postoperative cardiac fibrosis.The combined application of these new techniques can improve clinical outcomes by early diagnosis and non-invasive detection of postoperative left ventricular reverse remodeling.This paper reviews the evaluation and application of multi-modal imaging techniques for left ventricular reverse remodeling after aortic valve replacement.

Objective:To investigate the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive pancreatic tumor enucleation.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 60 patients with minimally invasive pancreatic tumor enucleation admitted to the Department of Pancreatic Surgery of Fudan University Cancer Center from November 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 43 females,with age of (50.0±13.2)years(range: 23 to 73 years). Tumors were located in the head of pancreas in 40 cases(66.7%),neck and tail of pancreas in 20 cases(33.3%). Patients were divided into robotic group( n=25) and laparoscopic group( n=35) according to surgical methods. The measurement data were compared by t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and the categorical data were compared by χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method. The influencing factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results:All patients successfully completed tumor enucleation without conversion to laparotomy. The operation time was (183.5±67.3)minutes(range:90 to 410 minutes). Twelve patients(20.0%) underwent stent placement and pancreatic duct repair during operation. The removal time of abdominal drainage tube after operation was (24.7±22.9)days(range:2 to 113 days). The tumor diameter in the robotic group was larger than that in the laparoscopic group((3.5±0.9)cm vs. (2.9±0.7)cm, t=-2.825, P=0.006). The incidences of postoperative biochemical fistula and grade B pancreatic fistula were 20.0%,22.9% and 36.0%,51.4%,respectively(χ2=2.289, P=0.318). There were no grade C pancreatic fistula,lymphatic fistula,biliary fistula,delayed gastric emptying,secondary operation and perioperative death in both groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on the occurrence of clinically related pancreatic fistula(above grade B). The results showed that the increase of body mass index( OR=1.285,95% CI:1.053 to 1.569, P=0.014),the larger diameter of the tumor( OR=3.703,95% CI:1.465 to 9.360, P=0.006) and intraoperative pancreatic duct repair( OR=7.889,95% CI:1.471 to 42.296, P=0.016) were independent risk factors,whereas robotic surgery( OR=0.168,95% CI:0.036 to 0.796, P=0.025) was a protective factor. No case of pancreatin dependent dyspepsia and new onset diabetes mellitus was observed. Conclusions:Minimally invasive tumor enucleation is feasible in the treatment of benign and low-grade pancreatic tumors. The incidence of pancreatic fistula is high in the short term after operation,but serious complications are rare. The robot assisted system can reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula and has more advantages in dealing with larger diameter tumors because of clearer surgical vision and more accurate operation.
