Osteoporosis is a common bone metabolic disease, which is mainly characterized by the decrease in the number of bone trabeculae and the destruction of bone tissue microstructure, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risks. This disease is common in postmenopausal women, elderly men, diabetes patients, and obese people. Due to the lack of awareness to prevent bone losses and the limitations of bone mass measurement methods, osteoporosis is only concerned when there are serious complications, which imposes a heavy burden on both patients and medical resources. Oxidative stress refers to the excessive production of highly active molecules such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen in the body subjected to harmful stimuli, leading to the imbalance between the oxidative and antioxidant systems and causing oxidative damage. Studies have shown that oxidative stress can increase the generation and activity of osteoclasts and inhibit the differentiation of osteoblasts, thus playing a role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is considered an effective antioxidant that can alleviate oxidative stress-induced osteoporosis by regulating a variety of signaling pathways. Studies have shown that TCM can alleviate oxidative stress and promote bone angiogenesis and osteogenesis by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor-kappa B, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) signaling pathways. TCM alleviates oxidative stress and promotes osteogenesis by regulating the Nrf2, PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin, and secreted glycoprotein Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. In addition, TCM regulates NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand/osteoprotegerin signaling pathway to alleviate excessive bone resorption induced by oxidative stress. This paper systematically summarizes the literature on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis by TCM or its active ingredients via the above-mentioned signaling pathways to reduce oxidative stress in recent years. It briefs the possible molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress regulation-related signaling pathways to cause osteoporosis. In addition, this paper discusses the effects and mechanisms of TCM on bone angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone resorption by reducing oxidative stress through the regulation of related signaling pathways, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the research and clinical treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.Methods:The medical records from elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥ 65 yr, with a duration of operation ≥ 8 h and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective first abdominal surgery for gastrointestinal tumors at the Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from October 1, 2016 to June 30, 2022, were collected from the electronic medical record database. Patients were divided into conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and GDFT group (group G) according to whether GDFT was employed during operation. In group C, blood pressure was maintained ≥90/60 mmHg or mean arterial pressure≥65 mmHg, and urine output more than 30 ml/h. In group G, the stroke volume variation was maintained ≤13%, and cardiac index ≥2.5 L·min -1·m -2. The patient general characteristics, requirement for fluid, urine output, blood loss, requirement for vasoactive agents and abdominal hyperthermic perfusion, and operation time were recorded during operation. The development of AKI within 72 h after operation and development of other complications (pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, septic shock, arrhythmia) after operation were recorded. The length of hospital stay and 30-day mortality after operation were recorded. Results:A total of 125 patients were included in this study, with 41 patients in group C and 84 patients in group G. Postoperative AKI occurred in 19 patients, with an incidence of 15.2%. Compared with group C, the requirement for colloid, total volume of fluid infused and urine volume were significantly decreased during operation, the requirement for vasoactive agents was increased during operation ( P<0.05), the risk of postoperative AKI was reduced ( OR=0.23, P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of other postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, and length of hospital stay in group G ( P>0.05). Conclusions:GDFT can reduce the risk of AKI in the elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.

Objective:To analyze epidemiology of gastric cancer five-year survival distribution in Zhejiang population-based cancer registration.Methods:The follow-up data of registrated gastric cancer cases diagnosed from 2008 to 2019 in 22 national cancer registry areas of Zhejiang Province were collected and divided into three diagnostic periods: 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 to calculate five-year observed survival rates (OSRs), five-year relative survival rates (RSRs) and five-year age-standardized relative survival rates (ARSRs). The distribution of population characteristics (including gender, urban/rural, age group and occupation) and clinical characteristics (including the highest diagnostic institution, sub-site, pathological type and degree of differentiation) of gastric cancer survival rates in each period were analysed.Results:51 663 new cases of gastric cancer in 2008-2019 in the cancer registration area of Zhejiang Province were included in the analysis, and the ARSR of gastric cancer in 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 showed an increasing trend (39.2%, 41.3% and 44.7%, respectively). In 2016-2019, the ARSR was similar across gender and urban and rural areas (44.4% for men and 45.7% for women; 44.9% in urban areas and 44.2% in rural areas); Among people with different occupations, the ARSR was highest among business and service workers (55.3%), the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, water conservancy production workers and domestic workers were lower (41.5% and 43.2%, respectively). The highest diagnostic institution was the provincial hospital with a higher gastric cancer survival rate (47.0%) than the municipal (43.4%) and district (43.6%) levels. The ARSR for gastric cancer was relatively high in the lesser curvature (59.7%), pylorus (50.4%), antrum (49.3%), and greater curvature (48.7%), and lowest in cardia (38.9%). Among the major pathological types, adenocarcinoma (NOS) had an ARSR of 48.1%, mucinous adenocarcinoma 41.3%, imprinted cell carcinoma 39.4%, and squamous carcinoma 33.4%. The ARSR for highly differentiated, moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated gastric cancers were 80.6%, 57.9%, 43.2% and 36.8%, respectively.Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer in Zhejiang Province is high and on the rise, with similar survival rates in different genders, urban and rural areas, and significant differences in the survival rates of gastric cancer patients with different occupational groups, highest diagnostic institutions, tumour sub-sites, pathological types and differentiation degrees.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus(PEDV)S1 IgG antibody levels and neutralizing antibody potency in sow sera.Sera from 5 PEDV-infected farms with a clear immune background,5 non-infected farms and 5 infected farms with an unclear immune background,and sera from return-fed reserve pigs,totaling 716 copies,were collected and measured,and the correlation between PEDV S1 IgG antibodies and neutralizing antibodies was analyzed.The results showed that the PEDV S1 IgG and neutralizing antibodies of sow sera showed highly significant positive correlation,the correlation coefficient was 0.892(P<0.000 1).Previous studies have shown that the level of PEDV neutralizing antibodies in sow serum correlates with the ability of piglets'maternal antibodies to resist PEDV infection.Therefore,the a-bility of maternal antibodies against PEDV in piglets can be evaluated by detecting PEDV S1 IgG antibodies in the serum of sows.In 10 PEDV-infected farms,the neutralizing antibodies to PEDV in the sera of sows after immunization were generally high,and the S1 IgG antibodies were also high,and their S/P values were higher than 3.5 in 66.9%of the farms(347/519),and the highest anti-body levels were found in the four farms in which PED did not occur,whereas the neutralizing an-tibodies in the immunized sows in the five PEDV-uninfected farms were generally low,and their S1 IgG antibodies were also low,and only 8.1%(13/161)having S/P values higher than 3.5.The re-sults suggest that most sows in PEDV-infected farms can provide good immunoprotection to pig-lets after immunization,while pigs in PEDV-uninfected farms need further immunization if they need to achieve a higher level of immunoprotection.The present study provides a substantial clini-cal basis for the use of PEDV S1 IgG antibody levels to assess the effectiveness of PEDV antibody protection in swine herds.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tianmeng Oral Liquid in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia caused by antipsychotics in female patients with schizophrenia, and to provide references for intervention of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia patients. MethodsEnglish databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO and Embase) and Chinese databases (CNKI and Wanfang) were systematically searched, with a search time frame of the period from database creation to September 16, 2022. Randomized controlled studies (RCTs) on adjunctive Tianmeng Oral Liquid in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia caused by antipsychotics in female patients with schizophrenia were included. Three investigators independently screened the literatures and extracted data according to PICOS principles and evaluated the quality of including literatures, and the Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3. ResultsA total of 3 articles including 256 female schizophrenic patients with hyperprolactinemia were included. Meta-analysis results showed that at the treatment endpoint, the improvement of hyperprolactinemia symptoms reported a significant superiority of the intervention group than the control group (RR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.07~2.79, P˂0.05). Similarly, the significant superiority of the intervention group than the control group were also found in reducing serum prolactin levels (WMD=-55.17, 95% CI: -68.16~-42.18, P<0.01) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total scores were lower in the intervention group than in the control group (WMD=-7.36, 95% CI: -8.94~-5.77, P<0.01). ConclusionTianmeng Oral Liquid may help improve clinical efficacy and reduce serum prolactin levels in female schizophrenia patients with hyperprolactinemia. It may improve psychiatric symptoms in female patients with schizophrenia.

OBJE CTIVE To inv estigate the antibiotic use and rationality for children in community health service institutions from Beijing ,and to provide reference for promoting rational use of antibiotics in primary healthcare institutions. METHODS All the prescriptions for children from primary healthcare institutions in 2019 were extracted from prescription review system of community health service institutions in Beijing. The use of antibiotics was described according to the related indicators of the World Health Organization/International Network for Rational Use of Drug (WHO/INRUD). The structure of antibiotics use was analyzed according to the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC)classification as well as the WHO AWaRe classification and diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 288 primary healthcare institutions and 10 422 prescriptions for children were included. The number of institutions in high-income areas ,middle-income areas and low-income areas were 119,80 and 89 respectively,and the number of prescriptions involved were 2 430,2 163 and 5 829 respectively,including 1 447 prescriptions involving antibiotics (13.9%). Among 1 447 prescriptions,the rate of prescriptions involving combined use of antibiotics was 1.4%(20 pieces);the rate of prescriptions involving antibiotics injection was 9.7%(141 pieces);4.8% antibiotics prescriptions were rated as unreasonable (69 pieces). The three most commonly used antibiotics were the macrolides (40.2%),the second-generation cephalosporins (26.5%) and the third-generati on cephalosporins (23.4%). The proportion of antibioti cs prescriptions from groups of access ,caution, reserve and not recommended were 9.1%,92.1%,0.3%,and 0, respectively. The rate of antibiotics prescriptions fortonsillitis was the highest (31.9% ). Among 69 irrationalantibiotics prescriptions ,main of them were irrational drug use (56 pieces,81.2%). CONCLUSIONS The rate of antibiotics prescriptions for children in primary healthcare institutions from Beijing is lower than the standard of WHO antibiotics prescription rate (20.0%-26.8%),but the use rate of antibiotics at caution grade is too high.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods:Consecutive Chinese patients with RA were recruited from August 2015 to September 2019 at Department of Rheumatology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. Demo-graphic data and clinical data were collected including indicators of disease activity, functional assessment and radiographic assessment, comorbidities and previous medications. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the related factors of hypertension in RA patients.Results:There were 674 RA patients recruited with 82.3%(555/674) female and mean age (50±13) years. The prevalence rate of hypertension was 32.9% (222/674), followed by dyslipidemia (9.9%, n=67), type 2 diabetes (8.8%, n=59), hyperuricemia (8.5%, n=43), fatty liver disease (8.0%, n=54), cardiovascular disease (6.2%, n=42) and chronic kidney disease (3.3%, n=22). Compared with those without hypertension, RA patients with hypertension had advanced age with longstanding disease duration, higher disease activity indicators, worse joint destruction, and higher proportions of comorbidities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidities including hyperuricemia [ OR=1.977, 95% CI(1.002, 3.900)], dyslipidemia [ OR=1.903, 95% CI(1.102, 3.288)] and fatty liver disease [ OR=2.335, 95% CI(1.278, 4.265)] were risk factors of hypertension after adjustment for age and gender. Conclusion:Hyperten-sion is the most common comorbidity in RA patients which is associated with comor-bidities including hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and fatty liver disease. Detection and management of hyperten-sion and other cardiovascular disease related comorbidities in RA patients should be emphasized.

OBJECTIVES:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an extracorporeal life support strategy for the treatment of critically ill children with reversible heart and lung failure, increasingly being used in patients with low cardiac output after cardiac surgery. However, the mortality of patients is closely related to the complications of ECMO, especially bleeding, thrombosis, and infection, ECMO-related nosocomial infection has become a challenge to the success of ECMO. This study aims to analyze the incidence and risk factors for venoarterial-ECMO (VA-ECMO)-related nosocomial infections in children after cardiac surgery.
METHODS:
We retrospectively collected the data of patients who underwent VA-ECMO treatment after pediatric cardiac surgery in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 2015 to March 2021, and divided them into an infected group and a non-infected group. The clinical characteristics of the 2 groups of patients, VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infection factors, pathogenic microorganisms, and patient mortality were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for nosocomial infection related to VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery.
RESULTS:
Of the 38 pediatric patients, 18 patients (47.37%) had VA-ECMO related nosocomial infection, served as the infected group, including 7 patients with blood infections and 11 respiratory tract infections. Gram-negative pathogens (16 strains, 88.9%) were the main bacteria, such as Acinetobacter baumannii (6 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (3 strains), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (3 strains). Compared with the non-infected group (n=20), the infection group had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass, time of myocardial block, and time of VA-ECMO assistance (All P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that time of cardiopulmonary bypass (OR=1.012, 95% CI 1.002 to 1.022; P=0.021) was an independent risk factor for ECMO-related nosocomial infection. The number of surviving discharges in the infected group was less than that in the non-infected group (1 vs 11, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Cardiopulmonary bypass time is an independent risk factor for VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infection in children after cardiac surgery. Shortening the duration of extracorporeal circulation may reduce the incidence of VA-EMCO-related nosocomial infections in children after cardic surgery. The occurrence of VA-ECMO-related nosocomial infections affects the number of patient's discharge alive.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference and suggestions for dynamic adjustment of classification management lists for clinical use of antibiotics and the promotion of rational use of antibiotics. METHODS The latest version of provincial classification management lists for clinical use of antibiotics were aggregated into the “national list”, which was compared with 2021 WHO AWaRe classification list of antibiotics (hereinafter referred as to “AWaRe classification list”) to make a descriptive statistical analysis about the number of different classes of antibiotics in the two lists and their differences. RESULTS Based on the different classification principles, 262 kinds of antibiotic preparations in the national list were classified into non-restricted (84), restricted (83) and highly-restricted classes (95), and 258 kinds in the AWaRe classification list were classified into access (87), watch (142) and reserve classes (29); 182 kinds of antibiotic preparations were both included in the two lists. In the national list, among the non-restricted antibiotic preparations, 36 kinds belonged to access class, 30 belonged to watch class and 1 belonged to reserve class; among restricted antibiotic preparations, 7 belonged to access class, 46 kinds belonged to watch class and 3 belonged to reserve class; among highly-restricted antibiotic 82805019。E-mail:yyy211anne@163.com preparations, 9 belonged to access class, 35 belonged to watch class and 15 kinds belonged to reserve class. Among them, 91 kinds of antibiotic preparations were not recommended by WHO (20 kinds) or not included in the AWaRe classification list (71 kinds). CONCLUSIONS The classification methods of two lists are different in classification principles and grading of some similar drugs. The classification management list of antibiotics is one of the key points of antibiotics management, more research is needed in the future to provide sufficient evidence for optimizing antibiotics classification management.
