ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of recompensation in patients with autoimmune hepatitis （AIH）-related decompensated cirrhosis， to identify independent predictive factors， and to construct a nomogram prediction model for the probability of recompensation. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among the adult patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to August 2023 （n=211）. The primary endpoint was achievement of recompensation， and the secondary endpoint was liver-related death or liver transplantation. According to the outcome of the patients at the end of the follow-up， the patients were divided into the recompensation group （n=16） and the persistent decompensation group（n=150）.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance， and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data with heterogeneity of variance； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis； the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to identify independent predictive factors， and a nomogram model was constructed and validated. ResultsA total of 211 patients were enrolled， with a median age of 55.0 years and a median follow-up time of 44.0 months， and female patients accounted for 87.2%. Among the 211 patients， 61 （with a cumulative proportion of 35.5%） achieved recompensation. Compared with the persistent decompensation group， the recompensation group had significantly higher white blood cell count， platelet count （PLT）， total bilirubin （TBil）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， total bile acid， prothrombin time， international normalized ratio （INR）， SMA positive rate， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score， Child-Pugh score， and rate of use of glucocorticoids （all P0.05）， as well as significantly lower age at baseline， number of complications， and death/liver transplantation rate （all P0.05）. At 3 and 12 months after treatment， the recompensation group had continuous improvements in AST， TBil， INR， IgG， MELD score， and Child-Pugh score， which were significantly lower than the values in the persistent decompensation group （all P0.05）， alongside with continuous increases in PLT and albumin， which were significantly higher than the values in the persistent decompensation group （P0.05）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline ALT （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.067， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.010 — 1.127， P=0.021）， IgG （HR=0.463，95%CI：0.258 — 0.833， P=0.010）， SMA positivity （HR=3.122，95%CI：1.768 — 5.515， P0.001）， and glucocorticoid therapy （HR=20.651，95%CI：8.744 — 48.770， P0.001） were independent predictive factors for recompensation， and the nomogram model based on these predictive factors showed excellent predictive performance （C-index=0.87，95%CI：0.84 — 0.90）. ConclusionAchieving recompensation significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis. Baseline SMA positivity， a high level of ALT， a low level of IgG， and corticosteroid therapy are independent predictive factors for recompensation. The predictive model constructed based on these factors can provide a basis for decision-making in individualized clinical management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of coptisine on chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） in rats based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. MethodA CAG rat model was induced by multiple factors， including sodium salicylate， N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG）， and irregular feeding. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group， folic acid group， and high- and low-dose coptisine groups. The high- and low-dose coptisine groups were given coptisine （50， 10 mg·kg^-1， respectively）， and the folic acid group was given folic acid at 2 mg·kg^-1 for 60 days. The pathological changes were detected by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells was observed by electron microscopy. Serum pepsinogen Ⅰ （PGⅠ）， pepsinogen Ⅱ （PGⅡ）， and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio （PGR） were detected by immunoturbidimetry. Serum gastrin-17 （G-17） level was detected by radioimmunoassay. The content of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in serum of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELSIA）. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of TGF-β₁， PI3K， phosphorylated-Akt （p-Akt）， mTOR， and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 （PTEN） in gastric mucosa. The mRNA levels of TGF-β₁， PI3K， Akt， mTOR， PTEN， microtubule-associated protein light chain 3Ⅱ （LC3Ⅱ）， and Beclin-1 were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed atrophy and reduced number of intrinsic glands in the gastric mucosal tissues， as well as inflammatory cell infiltration. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells in the model group displayed nuclear condensation， reduced and swollen mitochondria， and abnormal structure. The serum levels of G-17， PGⅠ， PGR， and the protein and mRNA levels of PTEN in gastric tissues were significantly lower in the model group （P<0.01）， while serum levels of IL-6， IL-1β， TNF-α， and the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β₁， PI3K， Akt， and mTOR in gastric tissues were significantly higher （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， various drug intervention groups showed different degrees of improvement in pathological damage and gastric mucosal cell ultrastructure， significantly increased serum levels of G-17， PGⅠ， and PGR （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and significantly decreased levels of IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The high-dose coptisine group significantly downregulated the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β₁， PI3K， Akt， and mTOR （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionBerberine has a therapeutic effect on CAG in rats， possibly exerting a protective effect on gastric mucosa by inhibiting inflammation and blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Houttuynize Herba decoction on aspirin-induced gastric ulcer (GU) in mice; To discuss its mechanism.Methods:A total of 64 SPF male mice were selected, and 48 mice were randomly selected to establish the model by gavage of 20 mg/ml aspirin solution. The remaining 16 rats were treated as normal group by gavage with the same amount of normalsaline once a day for 7 consecutive days. After successful modeling, the remaining mice in the model group were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 8 mice in each group, namely normal saline group (given normal saline), omeprazole group (given omeprazole 0.5 mg/ml), Houttuynize Herba high-, medium- and low-dosage groups (given 1.08 g/ml, 0.54 g/ml, 0.27 g/ml), and the remaining 8 mice in the normal group were given the same amount of normal saline by gavage. The mice were treated by gavage once a day for 7 days. The number of Escherichia coli and Bifidobacterium in mouse feces was counted by bacterial culture method, and the ratio of Bifidobacterium to Escherichia coli (B/E value) was used to judge the imbalance of bacterial flora. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum was detected by magnetic particle chemiluminescence. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) in the serum of mice to determine the level of inflammation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to determine the ulcer and healing. ImageJ 1.8.0 was used to calculate the ulcer inhibition rate. The protein expression levels of IκBα, NF-κB-p65 subunit and phosphorylated IκBα (p-IκBα) and p65 (p-NF-κB-p65) subunits in gastric tissue of mice were evaluated by Western blot. Results:Compared with the normal group, the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa were missing, the glands were irregularly arranged, and the tissue structure was severely damaged in the modeling group; the number of Escherichia coli in the intestine increased ( P<0.01), the number of Bifidobacterium decreased ( P<0.01), and the B/E value was less than 1 ( P<0.01); Serum PGE2 levels were decreased ( P<0.01), IL-6 levels were increased ( P<0.01); The expression of p-IκBα and p-NF-κB-p65 proteins in gastric tissues was elevated ( P<0.05). After 7 days of drug treatment, compared with the saline group, gastric mucosal cells and structures were improved, and weight gained in the Houttuynize Herba groups ( P<0.05); the rate of inhibition of ulcers in mice in the Houttuynize Herba high-dosage group was significantly improved ( P<0.01); the number of Bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract significantly increased ( P<0.01), that of Escherichia coli was diminished ( P<0.05), B/E value was greater than 1 ( P<0.05), IL-6 content in peripheral blood was reduced ( P<0.05), PGE 2 levels significantly increased ( P<0.01); the level of p-IκBα/IκBα and p-NF-κB-p65/NF-κB-p65 in the gastric tissues of mice decreased ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Houttuynize Herba decoction can effectively improve gastric mucosal injury in mice, and its mechanism may be related to regulating intestinal microorganisms, inhibiting the opening of IκBα/NF-κB pathway, and reducing inflammatory response.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

Objective:To explore the application effect of immersive teaching combined with closed-loop assessment in respiratory medicine internship teaching.Methods:A total of 140 students who interned in the Department of Respiratory Medicine from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected as research subjects. They were assigned to a control group and an observation group based on the time of admission, with 70 students in each group. The control group received traditional teaching, while the observation group received immersive teaching combined with closed-loop assessment. After the internship, the theories, clinical diagnosis and treatment, operation skills, empathy ability, and teaching effectiveness of the two groups of students were compared and evaluated.Results:The scores of theories, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and operation skills were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.001). The observation group scored significantly higher on the empathy scale than the control group [(73.83±6.71) vs. (61.08±6.32); t=15.60, P<0.001]. The recognition rates of the observation group students were significantly higher in learning interest, self-learning ability, comprehensive analysis ability of diseases, clinical thinking ability, independent discovery, analysis, and problem-solving ability, and team collaboration ability, as compared with the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Immersive teaching combined with closed-loop assessment is beneficial for improving the theoretical and practical levels of respiratory medicine students, enhancing their empathy and comprehensive analysis abilities, and improving clinical teaching effectiveness.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

A 31-year-old man sought medical evaluation for a 2-year history of edema and proteinuria, with prior pathology suggesting atypical membranous nephropathy (MN). Despite treatment with a combination of steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and four courses of rituximab (1 g, intravenous injection), the patient′s nephrotic syndrome showed no relief (24 h urine protein peaked at 31.18 g/d), indicating refractory nephrotic syndrome. Later in the disease course, a sudden surge of creatinine level (322.5 μmol/L) prompted a renal biopsy, which revealed concurrent acute interstitial nephritis. Further treatment involving steroids, cyclophosphamide, and a fifth rituximab infusion (1 g, intravenous injection) resulted in improvement in renal function (serum creatinine: 322.5?147 μmol/L), but the MN failed to achieve partial relief. Subsequent treatment with the novel humanized CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (1 g, intravenous injection) was initiated. In the latest follow-up, anti-phospholipase-A2-receptor antibody (PLA2R) antibody were negative, B cells were eliminated, serum albumin was 36 g/L, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 4 810 mg/g, and serum creatinine was 162 μmol/L. This case underscores the potential efficacy of obinutuzumab in refractory MN. For advanced MN cases, prompt identification of the cause of acute kidney injury is crucial, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to potentially stall renal function decline.
