BACKGROUND:Previous studies have confirmed that the new compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster has a good effect in the treatment of acute soft tissue swelling. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster in the treatment of synovitis of the knee joint. METHODS:Seventy-two patients with knee synovitis were selected from Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from December 2019 to May 2021.These patients were randomly divided into a trial group and a control group,with 36 cases in each group.The trial group was treated with compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster,once a day,12 hours each time,while the control group was treated with Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel,twice a day.After 28 days of treatment,visual analog scale score,WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index score,quality of life score(SF-36),thickness of knee synovium and comprehensive curative effect were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Visual analog scale scores after treatment were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).Visual analog scale scores in the trial group after 7,14 and 28 days of treatment were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index scores in the trial group after 7,14 and 28 days of treatment were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).(3)The SF-36 quality of life score in the two groups after 28 days of treatment was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05).SF-36 quality of life score in the trial group after 28 days of treatment was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(4)After 28 days of treatment,the thickness of knee synovium in the trial group was less than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the effective rate in the trial group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(5)These findings indicate that compared with Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel,the compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster can better relieve knee pain,enhance knee joint function,reduce synovial hyperplasia,and elevate the overall quality of life of patients.

Objective To compare the predictive effects of logistic regression and machine learning models on occurrence of low peripheral oxygen saturation(SpO2)during one-lung ventilation(OLV)in pa-tients undergoing thoracoscopic partial pulmonary resection(TPPR),and to explore risk factors of low SpO2.Methods A total of 127 patients undergoing unilateral TPPR from August 1,2022 to April 30,2023 were enrolled,61 males and 66 females,aged 18-80 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ.Based on whether intraoperative SpO2 during OLV was less than 90％,the patients were divided into two groups:low SpO2 group(n=21)and normal SpO2 group(n=106).Perioperative data were collected and a predic-tive model was constructed using logistic regression.This model was compared with predictive models con-structed using five machine learning models,including random forest(RF),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),decision tree(DT),logistic regression(LogR),and support vector machine(SVM).The re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,and the performance of the predictive models were evaluated by the area under the curve(AUC).The best output model was interpreted using Shapley additive explanations(SHAP)to identify the risk factors of low SpO2 during OLV in patients undergoing TPPR.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased age(OR=1.087,95％CI 1.006-1.175,P=0.036),increased BMI(OR=1.299,95％CI 1.050-1.608,P=0.016),increased pre-operative blood glucose(OR=2.028,95％CI 1.378-2.983,P＜0.001),and decreased RV/TLC％Pred(OR=0.936,95％CI 0.892-0.983,P=0.008)were independent risk factors of low SpO2 during OLV.The predictive model was Logit(p)=-10.098+0.08 × age+0.231 × BMI+0.633 × blood glu-cose-0.059 × RV/TLC％Pred,with an AUC of 0.873(95％CI 0.803-0.943,P＜0.001).After optimi-zing parameters of machine learning models using grid search combined with five-fold cross-validation,the model training results were satisfactory.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC for RF was 0.921(95％CI 0.840-0.979),XGBoost was 0.940(95％CI 0.812-0.981),DT was 0.919(95％CI 0.828-0.982),LogR was 0.892(95％CI 0.831-0.980),and SVM was 0.922(95％CI 0.832-0.982).XG-Boost had the highest AUC,surpassing the logistic regression model.SHAP analysis indicated that the most important risk factors in the XGBoost output model were increased age,BMI,and preoperative blood glucose concentration.Conclusion Increased age,BMI,and preoperative blood glucose concentration are signifi-cant risk factors for low SpO2 during OLV in patients undergoing TPPR.The XGBoost machine learning model outperformed traditional logistic regression in predicting the occurrence of low SpO2 during OLV.XG-Boost can analyze more complex relationships between variables and outcomes and provide more accurate in-dividualized predictions of the risk of low SpO2 during OLV.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective To study the effect of naringenin(NAR)on myocardial fibrosis in rats with chronic heart failure(CHF)and its mechanism.Methods The rat model of CHF was established and randomly divided into CHF model group(CHF),NAR low dose group(L-NAR),medium dose group(M-NAR)and high dose group(H-NAR),with 10 rats in each group.In addition,sham operation group(Sham)was set up.The cardiac function of rats was detected by ultrasonic electrocardiogram.HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of myocardium.The content of hydroxyproline(HYP)in myocardium was determined by alkaline hydrolysis method,and the content of collagen was calculated.The mRNA expression levels of activin A(Act A)and follistatin(FS)in myocardium were detected by qRT-PCR.The protein expression levels of Act A,FS,Collagen Ⅰ,Collagen Ⅲ,Smad2,Smad3,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with Sham group,the arrangement of muscle fibers in CHF group was disordered,cells were swollen,and the degree of fibrosis was higher.The left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD),left ventricular end systolic dimension(LVESD),collagen content,and the expression levels of Act A,Collagen I,Collagen Ⅲ,p-Smad2/Smad2,and p-Smad3/Smad3 ratios were significantly increased(P<0.05),The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and FS expression level were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with CHF group,the pathological changes and fibrosis degree of myocardial tissue in M-NAR group and H-NAR group were improved.LVEDD,LVESD,collagen content and the expression levels of Act A,Collagen Ⅰ,Collagen Ⅲ,p-Smad2/Smad2,and p-Smad3/Smad3 ratios were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while LVEF and FS expression levels were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with L-NAR group,medium and high-dose NAR intervention was more effective in improving myocardial fibrosis and Act A/FS system disorder in CHF rats(P<0.05).Conclusion NAR can inhibit myocardial fibrosis in CHF rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of Act A/FS system.

Objective To explore clinical effect of vancomycin calcium sulfate combined with internal fixation on cal-caneal beak-like fracture secondary to calcaneal osteomyelitis caused by diabetic foot.Methods From April 2018 to October 2021,a retrospective analysis was performed on 5 patients with calcaneal bone osteomyelitis secondary to diabetic foot,includ-ing 2 males and 3 females,aged from 48 to 60 years old;diabetes course ranged from 5 to 13 years;the courses of diabetic foot disease ranged from 18 to 52 days;5 patients were grade Ⅲ according to Wagner classification.All patients were treated with debridement,vancomycin bone cement implantation,negative pressure aspiration at stage Ⅰ,vancomycin calcium sulfate and internal fixation at stage Ⅱ for calcaneal beak-like fracture.Surgical incision and fracture healing time were recorded,and the recurrence of osteomyelitis was observed.American Orthopedic Foot Andankle Society(AOFAS)score and exudation at 12 months after operation were evaluated.Results Five patients were successfully completed operation without lower extremity vascular occlusion,and were followed up for 16 to 36 months.The wound healing time after internal fixation ranged from 16 to 26 days,and healing time of fractures ranged from 16 to 27 weeks.AOFAS score ranged from 65 to 91 at 12 months after oper-ation,and 2 patients got excellent result,2 good and 1 fair.Among them,1 patient with skin ulcer on the back of foot caused by scalding at 5 months after operation(non-complication),was recovered after treatment;the wound leakage complication oc-curred in 2 patients,and were recovered after dressing change.No osteomyelitis or fracture occurred in all patients.Conclusion Vancomycin calcium sulfate with internal fixation in treating calcaneal osteomyelitis secondary to calcaneal osteomyelitis caused by diabetic foot could not only control infection,but also promote fracture healing,and obtain good clinical results.

We established an indirect ELISA method using Trichinella spiralis trehalase(TsTRE)protein expressed in prokaryotic cells.The TsTRE gene was amplified by RT-PCR and ligated into the pCold I plasmid,which was expressed in E.coli BL21 competent cells.The rTsTRE protein was purified through affinity column chromatography.The TsTRE protein was localized with immunofluorescence techniques,and the immunogenicity of rTsTRE was detected by westernblotting.Subse-quently,rTsTRE protein was used as a coating antigen to establish an indirect ELISA.We optimized the antigen-coating con-centration,serum dilution concentration,antigen-coating incubation time,type of blocking solution,blocking incubation time,HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG serum dilution concentration,HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG serum incubation time and response time of TMB.Subsequently,the critical value,repeatability,sensitivity,specificity and clinical detection rate of the ELISA were evaluated.Immunofluorescence indicated that trehalase was abundant in the rod-shaped body,tail and epidermis of Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae.Western-blot indicated that rTsTRE protein combined with the positive serum of mice infected with T.spiralis for 42 d;the band was approximately 60 kDa.The established indirect ELISA had a positive threshold of 0.384;the intra-run and inter-run coefficients of variation were 5.504％-7.630％ and 4.664％-9.929％,and did not exceed 10％.The lowest detectable titer was 1:1 280.No cross reaction was observed with antibodies to Clonorchissinensis,Schistosoma ja-ponicum,Ascaris suum,Toxocara gondii and Toxocara canis,and the clinical negative detection rate was 0％.Thus,we suc-cessfully expressed the rTsTRE protein.Moreover,the established indirect ELISA method using the TsTRE protein as the coating antigen had good repeatability,sensitivity,specificity and clinical detectability,and can be applied to the detection of clinical samples.

Objective:To observe the effects of rolling method massager on local tissue morphology, tissue and serum TNF-α and IL-1β in rabbits with skeletal muscle injury at different time points; To investigate the mechanism of temporal effect of rolling method action on skeletal muscle injury.Methods:Totally 72 New Zealand rabbits were divided into blank group, model group and rolling method treatment group according to random number table method, with 24 rabbits in each group. Rabbits in each group were divided into 1 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 9 d and 11 d subgroups according to the time point of injury, with 4 rabbits in each group. Blunt contusion was used to model the model group and the rolling method treatment group. Each subgroup of the rolling method treatment group was subjected to rolling method intervention for 3 d, using a homemade rolling method massager, 2 times/d, 3 min/time. At 24 h after the completion of the intervention, the histomorphological changes were observed by HE staining, and the TNF-α and IL-1β contents in serum and damaged skeletal muscle tissues were detected by ELISA.Results:Compared with the blank group, the inflammatory cell infiltration in the model group was obvious, edema was severe, and myofibers were broken; the inflammatory cell infiltration in the 1 d rolling method treatment group was intensified, myocytes were apoptotic, and myofibers were broken and necrosed more seriously; the inflammation in the 7 d rolling method treatment group was obviously improved with the best effect, and the difference with normal healthy muscle tissue was smaller. After modeling, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in skeletal muscle tissues and serum TNF-α levels were higher in the 3 d model group than in the 1 d model group ( P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in skeletal muscle tissues and serum increased in each subgroup of the model group and each subgroup of the rolling method treatment group ( P<0.01); Compared with the 1 d model group, TNF-α and IL-1β levels in skeletal muscle tissues and serum TNF-α levels increased in the 1 d rolling method treatment group. The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 9 d and 11 d rolling method treatment group were lower than those in the model group subgroup ( P<0.05). TNF-α and IL-1β levels in skeletal muscle tissues and serum TNF-α levels were higher in the 1 d, 3 d and 5 d rolling method treatment group than in the 7 d rolling method treatment group ( P<0.05). TNF-α levels in skeletal muscle tissues were higher in the 1 d and 3 d rolling method treatment group than in the 7 d rolling method treatment group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The inflammatory factors in the rolling treated group were significantly higher at 1 d after skeletal muscle injury, indicating that treatment with the rolling method was inappropriate at this time; seven days after injury, the application of rolling method can reduce the inflammatory effect, accelerate the repair of skeletal muscle, and improve the quality of functional recovery.

Objective: To report the clinical manifestations and laboratory features of five patients with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) and explore its standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment along with a review of literature. Methods: Clinical data of patients, such as age of onset, disease manifestation, personal history, family history, and misdiagnosed disease, were collected. Treatment outcomes, therapeutic effects of plasma infusion, and organ function evaluation were observed. The relationship among the clinical manifestations, treatment outcomes, and ADAMTS13 gene mutation of patients with cTTP was analyzed. Additionally, detection of ADAMTS13 activity and analysis of ADAMTS13 gene mutation were explored. Results: The age of onset of cTTP was either in childhood or adulthood except in one case, which was at the age of 1. The primary manifestations were obvious thrombocytopenia, anemia, and different degrees of nervous system involvement. Most of the patients were initially suspected of having immune thrombocytopenia. Acute cTTP was induced by pregnancy and infection in two and one case, respectively. ADAMTS13 gene mutation was detected in all cases, and there was an inherent relationship between the mutation site, clinical manifestations, and degree of organ injury. Therapeutic or prophylactic plasma transfusion was effective for treating cTTP. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of cTTP vary among individuals, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis that delays treatment. ADAMTS13 activity detection in plasma and ADAMTS13 gene mutation analysis are important bases to diagnose cTTP. Prophylactic plasma transfusion is vital to prevent the onset of the disease.
