ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of action of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan in treating viral pneumonia by combining network pharmacology and molecular docking with in vivo experimental validation. MethodsNetwork pharmacology and molecular docking were used to predict the core components， target genes， and major pathways of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan. Molecular docking was then applied to verify the interactions between the core components and key targets. Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups （n = 10 per group）， including blank， model， dexamethasone， and Ganlu Xiaodu Dan low-， medium-， and high-dose groups. The blank and model groups were gavaged with physiological saline （10 mL·kg^-1） every 12 h. The dexamethasone group received intraperitoneal injections of dexamethasone （5 mg·kg^-1）. The low-， medium-， and high-dose groups of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan were gavaged with solutions at concentrations of 7.2， 14.4， and 21.6 g·kg^-1， respectively， every 12 h. Lung wet/dry weight ratio （W/D） was measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to determine the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin （IL）-17， and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF）. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K） and protein kinase B （Akt） in lung tissue for further validation. ResultsTwelve potential active components of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan were identified through network pharmacology. A total of 306 overlapping target genes were obtained between Ganlu Xiaodu Dan and viral pneumonia. PPI network analysis identified the top 20 key targets， and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed the top 20 signaling pathways. An “active component–target–pathway” network was constructed. Molecular docking demonstrated strong affinity between the core components of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan and key targets related to viral pneumonia. In animal experiments， compared with the blank group， the model group showed severe bronchial epithelial damage， disordered alveolar structure， massive inflammatory cell infiltration， widened alveolar septa， and obvious interstitial edema. W/D， levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and IL-17 in BALF， and protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in lung tissue were all significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， lung injury in the Ganlu Xiaodu Dan groups and the dexamethasone group was alleviated. W/D and TNF-α levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. IL-1β and IL-17 levels were significantly reduced in the medium- and high-dose groups and the dexamethasone group， and the protein expression levels of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in lung tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionGanlu Xiaodu Dan can alleviate lung injury in viral pneumonia by suppressing the inflammatory response， and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway activation.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influence factors of prehospital thrombolysis treatment for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in China, to analyze the main factors affecting prehospital thrombolysis implementation, and optimize the pre-hospital thrombolysis strategy for STEMI to reduce mortality.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted. 21 cities from six major geographical regions in China were selected by using convenient sampling method. An anonymous online electronic questionnaire was used to investigate the current situation and influence factors of prehospital emergency physicians and grassroots physicians implementing prehospital thrombolysis treatment for STEMI patients. Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in count data between groups, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting prehospital thrombolysis in STEMI.Results:A total of 5 163 prehospital emergency physicians and physicians from grassroots township health centers/community health service centers or village clinics participated in this survey. Among them, 3208 (62.13%) have never implemtent thrombolysis, and 1 955 (37.87%) have did it before. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that physicians with 5-10 years of experience ( OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.18-1.69, P<0.01), 11-20 years of experience ( OR=1.25, 95% CI: 1.03-1.52, P=0.02), those working in village clinics ( OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.05-1.61, P=0.02), those in pre-hospital emergency medical institutions/departments ( OR=3.19, 95% CI: 2.80-3.64, P<0.01), those whose units are equipped with remote ECG transmission capabilities ( OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.50-1.96, P<0.01), or ECG AI-assisted diagnostic tools ( OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.15-1.49, P<0.01), and those who believe that thrombolysis is highly effective and should be widely adopted ( OR=2.55, 95% CI: 2.09-3.12, P<0.01) or consider it somewhat effective but warranting caution ( OR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.73-2.59, P<0.001), were more likely to make pre-hospital thrombolysis decisions for STEMI patients. To improve the current situation of pre-hospital thrombolysis for STEMI, the top four measures prioritized by pre-hospital emergency and grassroots physicians were enhancing the rescue capabilities of primary care doctors (92.22%), strengthening guidance from higherlevel hospitals (84.99%), increasing support for information technology (83.37%), and improving public health education (74.75%). Conclusions:The implementation rate of prehospital thrombolysis for STEMI in China still needs to be improved. Optimizing the prehospital thrombolysis strategy for STEMI, strengthening the allocation of basic medical resources and information technology support, and improving the referral mechanism are conducive to the implementation of prehospital thrombolysis for STEMI.

Objective To observe the value of dual-source CT(DECT)virtual monoenergetic imaging(VMI)for differentiating prostate cancer(PC)and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Thirty-three patients with PC(PC group)and 44 patients with BPH(BPH group)were retrospectively enrolled,and 40-100 keV(with 10 keV interval)VMI were reconstructed based on arterial phase DECT images,respectively.Clinical data,focal CT value and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)of VMI with different energy levels and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase were compared between groups.Binary logistic regression models were constructed based on clinical data being significantly different between groups,focal CT value of VMI with energy level with the highest CNR,also focal CT value of conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for differentiating PC and BPH.Results Free prostate-specific antigen(f-PSA),total prostate-specific antigen(t-PSA),focal CT value of 40-100 keV VMI and conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase in PC group were all higher,while short diameter in PC group was smaller than those in BPH group(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression models were constructed based on f-PSA,t-PSA,short diameter,CT value at 40 keV VMI and CT value at conventional linear fusion images of arterial phase,respectively,with AUC for differentiating PC and BPH of 0.879,0.902,0.701,0.911 and 0.857,respectively.Conclusion DECT VMI could be used as a supplementary examination for prostate diseases,and 40 keV VMI had the best efficacy for differentiating PC and BPH.

Purpose To explore the feasibility of prenatal MRI as a supplementary imaging examination of fetal multicystic dysplastic kidney(MCDK),and to improve the accuracy of imaging diagnosis.Materials and Methods The MR images of 104 fetuses diagnosed as MCDK by prenatal fetal MRI in Hubei Maternal and Children's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of fetal MRI were compared with those of autopsy or postnatal surgery,ultrasound and MRI,and the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and ultrasound was compared,respectively,the advantages of MRI combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of MCDK was also analyzed.Results Among 104 fetuses diagnosed as MCDK by MRI,there were 102 cases with MCDK and 2 cases with misdiagnoses.Amniotic fluid was obviously reduced or absent in 4 cases.Among the 102 cases of MCDK,58 cases(56.9％)were correctly diagnosed as MCDK by ultrasound,40 cases(39.1％)were identified with polycystic alterations,without diagnosed as MCDK,and 4 cases(3.9％)were misdiagnosed as other diseases(1 case with adult polycystic kidney,1 case with multiple renal cyst and 2 cases with renal absence).Conclusion Compared with prenatal ultrasound,prenatal MRI can obtain more information,especially in oligohydramnios and maternal obesity affecting the quality of ultrasound image.MRI can be used as a reliable supplementary method of prenatal ultrasound.

Objective To evaluate the intraoperative identification of ectopic parathyroid tissue in the central neck region using autofluorescence point-spectral analysis(AFPSA)combined with immune colloidal gold technique(ICGT),for guiding total parathyroidectomy(TPTX)or clean parathyroidectomy(CPTX)in the management of secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT).Methods Retrospectively collected and compared the clinical data of 64 patients with SHPT from October 2019 to June 2023.In the observation group,TPTX was performed as the initial procedure in 36 cases,followed by sampling of suspicious targets using AFPSA in the central neck area and subsequent detection through ICGT.CPTX was then conducted if a positive result was obtained.On the other hand,the control group consisted of 28 cases where only TPTX was performed without any additional tests during surgery.The surgical data,parathyroid hormone(PTH)levels,blood calcium levels,blood phosphorus levels,alkaline phosphatase(ALP)levels,regression of clinical symptoms,changes in parathyroid function and occurrence of hypocalcemia were compared between these two groups.Results In the observation group,there were 9 cases of AFPSA-ICGT positivity,including 2 left-sided cases,4 right-sided cases,and 3 thymic cases;among these posi-tive cases,there were a total of 10 locations with mildly hyperplastic or nonhyperplastic microscopic parathyroid tissue.The difference in the number of total parathyroid glands removed(including ectopic)between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).At both 3 and 6 months postoperatively,ALP levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.01 and P<0.001 respectively);at 6 months postoperatively,differences in PTH and blood phosphorus levels between the two groups were also statistically significant(P<0.05 and P<0.001 respectively).Joint bone pain and skin itching recurred in some patients within the control group at six months after surgery(P<0.05),whereas recurrence of SHPT was less frequent within the observation group compared to controls(P<0.05);however,no statistically significant differences were observed regarding postoperative hypoparathyroidism or hyperparathyroidism as well as hypocalcemia between either groups.Conclusion The AFPSA-ICGT intraoperative test can be utilized to guide surgery for SHPT,enabling accurate and efficient identification as well as safe targeting of parathyroid tissues that may not exhibit obvious hyperplasia in the central cervical region.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as a new type of thermoplastic engineering plastic, has good biological activity, elastic modulus close to human cortical bone and radiation permeability, and has been widely used in medical field. This study aims to explore the safety and clinical efficacy of using 3D printing personalized PEEK materials to repaire scapular bone defects after bone tumor resection. A total of 6 patients who underwent the implantation of 3D printed PEEK scapular prosthesis from January 2020 to December 2021 in Yunnan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 3 females, with age ranged from 14 to 52 years. There were 1 case of synovial sarcoma, 1 of Ewing's sarcoma, and 4 of chondrosarcoma. PEEK prosthesis was designed and fabricated based on CT data before surgery. Tumor resection and prosthesis replacement were performed under the premise of ensuring safe surgical boundaries, including 2 cases of total scapular prosthesis replacement and 4 cases of partial scapular prosthesis replacement. The operation time was 90-170 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 100-400 ml. All 6 patients received satisfactory follow-up, with a tumor progression free survival time of 16-28 months. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed, and all patients survived tumor free. At last follow-up, the Constant-Murley shoulder joint score was a minimum of 62 points and a maximum of 68 points. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association's shoulder joint score was 63 points minimum and 78 points maximum. Computer-aided design 3D printing PEEK material prosthesis has certain advantages in the treatment of scapular tumor limb salvage. It has light weight, well adapted, relatively simple installation, good histocompatibility, and can obtain a better appearance and function of the shoulder joint after operation. It can become one of the options for limb salvage treatment of scapular tumor.

OBJECTIVE To explore the intestinal absorption characteristics of saikosaponins. METHODS Based on everted intestinal sac model， using accumulative absorption amount （Q） and absorption rate constant （Ka） as indexes， UHPLC-MS/MS technique as a method， the absorption of saikosaponin A， B2， C， D and F from total saponins of Bupleurum chinense （8 g/mL， by crude drug） in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum was detected. RESULTS The correlation coefficients （r） of the regression equations for the absorption of saikosaponins A， B2， C and F in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum were all higher than 0.95， while the r of saikosaponin D in the above intestinal segments was lower than 0.95； compared with the absorption of the same composition in the duodenum， the Q and Ka of saikosaponin A and C circulating in jejunum and ileum for 120 min， as well as the Q and Ka of saikosaponin F circulating in the ileum for 120 min were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Saikosaponin A and the other 4 saikosaponins are all absorbed in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum； among them， saikosaponin A， B2， C and F are linearly absorbed， which conforms to the zero-order absorption characteristics， but saikosaponin D shows non- linear absorption.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of modified PPH combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy in the treatment of circular mixed hemorrhoids.Methods Patients with annular mixed hemorrhoids were divided into two groups by a completely randomized controlled method.54 patients in the experimental group were treated with modified PPH combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy,while 51 patients in the control group were treated with conventional PPH.The postoperative indicators,perioperative and long-term complication rates of the two groups were compared,and the clinical efficacy and safety were observed.Results The operation time in the experimental group was(48.35±4.37)minutes,which was higher than that in the control group(36.42 ±6.21)minutes(P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative anastomotic stenosis in the experimental group was 1.9％,lower than 15.6％ in the control group(P＜0.05).Anal pain,urinary retention,first defecation time,long-term anal distention,the experimental group was significantly better than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);The hospitalization time in the experimental group(4.8±0.62)days was not significantly different from that in the control group(5.1±0.54)days(P＞0.05).The amount of intraoperative bleeding and anastomotic bleeding in the experimental group[(17.28±2.22)ml,3.7％]were not significantly different from those in the control group[(16.75± 2.13)ml,3.9％](P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with conventional PPH,the modified PPH combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy slightly increases the operation time,but does not increase the risk of anastomotic bleeding,the incidence of rectal fistula,the amount of surgical bleeding,and the length of hospital stay.It can significantly improve postoperative anal pain,urinary retention,long-term distention symptoms,shorten the time of first defecation,ease the difficulty of defecation,and significantly reduce postoperative anastomotic stenosis,The long-term efficacy and safety are good.
