Objective To describe and analyze the current situation of the four same type of departments in an hospital in order to provide a reference for the construction of"the most cost-effective medical care".Methods The CN-DRG were used to automatically group and compare the medical capacity and inpatient service efficiency of the hospital department groups,and in the refined analysis,one DRG disease group of in situ cancer and non-malignant disease loss uterine surgery and single species uterine fibroid was included,and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to further compare the differences in length of stay and various costs.Results It included a total of 22630 patients,whose weights varied from a maximum of 3948.62 in diagnostic group 1 to a minimum of 133.55 in diagnostic group 11.The cost consumption indexes ranged from a minimum of 0.89 in diagnostic group 5 to a maximum of 1.04 in diagnostic group 2,while the time consumption indexes ranged from a minimum of 0.48 in diagnostic group 11 to a maximum of 0.81 in diagnostic group 5.When comparing the diagnostic groups,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in hospitalization days,total cost,diagnostic cost,therapeutic cost,and cost of supplies.Specifically,when comparing the diagnostic and treatment groups within departments,the differences in hospitalization days and all costs were statistically significant(P＜0.05)in departments 1 and 2,the differences in diagnostic cost,therapeutic cost,and cost of supplies were statistically significant(P＜0.05)in department 3.Conclusion There exists a notable disparity in the extent to which each diagnostic and treatment group contributes to the hospital's service capacity and cost variability.Consequently,it is necessary to reasonably evaluate the length of hospital stay and medical cost of patients to achieve the highest cost-effective medical treatment.

Intracellular overexpression of cytoglobin (Cygb) has been shown to reduce extracellular matrix deposition and promote liver fibrosis recovery, but its mechanism is not yet clear. This study constructed and expressed a fusion protein (TAT-Cygb) of cell penetrating peptide TAT and Cygb, to investigate the effect of fusion protein TAT-Cygb on regulating hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) ferroptosis. Cultured human hepatic stellate cells line (LX2) were treated with TAT-Cygb and erastin in vitro, respectively. The effects of ferroptosis phenotype in LX2 cells induced by TAT-Cygb, including cell viability, cell morphology, iron ion (Fe²⁺) content, lipid peroxidation product levels, and antioxidant system indicators, were investigated using trypan blue staining, transmission electron microscopy, Prussian blue staining, and reagent kits detection. After co-treatment with TAT-Cygb and ferrostain-1, the levels of Fe²⁺, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and glutathione (GSH) were measured by reagent kits. The protein expression levels of alpha smooth actin (α-SMA), collagen I and fibronectin were detected by Western blot, and the protein expression level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and desmin relevant to fibrosis were observed by immunofluorescence. The results showed that TAT-Cygb could significantly reduce the viability of LX2 cells and trigger events relevant to ferroptosis, including promoting intracellular Fe²⁺ accumulation, and inducing mitochondrial morphological changes, and intensifying lipid peroxidation products accumulation, and decreasing the level of antioxidant indexes, which played a similar role as erastin; Fer-1 significantly weakened the increase in Fe²⁺, ROS, MDA, 4-HNE levels induced by TAT-Cygb, as well as the decrease in NADPH and GSH levels, while also weakening the TAT-Cygb-induced over-expression levels of α-SMA, collagen I and fibronectin, and TAT-Cygb-induced under-expression levels of EGFR and desmin. This cellular level study indicated that TAT-Cygb can induce ferroptosis of activated HSCs. This study revealed the potential mechanism of TAT-Cygb anti-liver fibrosis, and provided the experimental basis for further research on the molecular mechanism of TAT-Cygb realizing biological function by regulating the ferroptosis pathway.

Interleukin 27 (IL-27) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is involved in the regulation of the body's innate and adaptive immunity. Previous studies have shown that IL-27 mediates a variety of inflammatory responses in vivo. With the development of animal models and technical tools, several studies have shown that it is also closely associated with autoimmune diseases and other immune related diseases, and is considered as an important candidate for the treatment of viral disease, autoimmune diseases, tumors and obesity. Therefore, this paper reviews recent progress on the role of IL-27 in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), rheumatoid arthritis, tumors and obesity, with the aim of providing new ideas for the treatment of immune related diseases.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical efficacy of watertight suture technique in skull base reconstruction after expanded endoscopic endonasal excision of tuberculum sellae meningioma.Methods:Fourteen patients with tuberculum sellae meningioma accepted expanded endoscopic endonasal excision of tuberculum sellae meningioma in Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2018 to May 2022 were chosen. During reconstruction of skull base, femoral fascia was used to repair the dural defect of sellar base with watertight suture, and then the sellar base was covered with a larger layer of femoral fascia for reinforcement; no nasal septum mucosal flap was used. The clinical data and treatment efficacy of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Total resection showed by imaging was achieved in all 14 patients. During the surgery, Valsalva ventilation test confirmed that at least 12 stitches were needed to achieve watertight suture status; watertight suture status was achieved in 13 of the 14 patients, without cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage; watertight suture status was not achieved in one patient due to tumor invasion of the sella floor dura and having an extensive excision, and CSF leakage appeared transiently after surgery but disappeared 2 weeks after surgery (bed rest). Among the 11 patients with visual damage and optic field defect, 9 patients improved obviously and 2 patients did not improve. Follow-up was performed for 5-53 months, with an average of (26.8±8.4) months; no tumor recurrence or CSF leakage were found in these patients; up to the last follow-up, the 2 patients with visual damage and optic field defect did not improve.Conclusion:Skull base reconstruction using watertight suture technique after expanded endoscopic endonasal excision of tuberculum sellae meningioma is reliable.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical efficacy of resection of jugular foramen schwannomas via anterolateral approach. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 15 patients with jugular foramen schwannomas admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from January 2018 to July 2022. Three patients had Samii type B, 7 had type C and 5 had type D. Resection of the schwannomas was performed via anterolateral approach. After surgery, regular follow-up was performed through outpatient review, telephone, or WeChat to evaluate tumor progression and neurological functions. Results:Adequate surgical exposure was obtained in all 15 patients. Total resection was obtained in 14 patients and subtotal resection in 1 patient. Posterior cranial nerve palsy was worsened in 1 patient and new-onset facial paralysis (House-Brackmann grading Ⅲ) was noted in 1 patient, without cerebrospinal fluid leakage, subcutaneous effusion or death. Choking and cough during drinking water, and dysphagia disappeared or relieved 3 months after surgery in patients with aggravated posterior cranial nerve palsy, but no significant recovery from hoarseness was noted 6 months after surgery. A patient with new-onset facial paralysis improved to House-Brackmann grading I 3 months after surgery. Up to the last follow-up, no tumor recurrence was observed in 15 patients.Conclusion:Resection via anterolateral approach is effective in jugular foramen schwannomas for its adequate surgical exposure, high total resection rate, and low postoperative complications.

D3 lymphadenectomy and complete mesocolic excision (CME) for colon cancer, which have been introduced to China for more than 10 years, are two major surgical principles worldwide. However, there are still many different opinions and misunderstandings about the core principles of D3 and CME, especially the similarities and differences between them. However, few articles have been published to discuss these issues specifically. Domestic scholars' understandings about D3 lymphadenectomy and CME for right hemicolectomy are quite different. Two different concepts including "D3/CME" and "D3+CME" have become mainstream views. The former equate D3 with CME and the latter seems to regard them as totally different principles. There is no consensus on which one is more reasonable. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the similarities and differences between D3 and CME for right hemicolectomy in perspectives of the theoretical background, surgical principles, extent of surgery and oncological outcomes. We believed that D3 and CME do not belong to the same concept, and that the scope of CME surgery for right-sided colon cancer is greater than and includes the scope of D3 surgery, and that D3 and CME are not complementary.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of compound Longmaining isoprenaline hydrochloride-induced myocardial infarction model and its effect on Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway.Method: Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group,model group,compound salvia miltiorrhiza drop pill group (0.072 9 g·kg^-1),and low,medium and high-dose compound Longmaining decoction groups (0.36,0.71,1.43 g·kg^-1).The acute myocardial infarction model was induced through subcutaneous injection with isoproterenol.The pathological changes of myocardial tissue were examined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),monocyte chemotaxis protein-1(MCP-1) and nitrogen (NO) in serum were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression levels of inhibitors of NF-κB kinase subunit-β(IKKβ),NF-κB inhibitor α(IκBα),TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65 were measured by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Result: Compared with normal group,the myocardial injury in model group was obvious.The levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 and NO in serum increased significantly (P<0.05),the expression level of IκBα decreased significantly (P<0.05),and the expression levels of IKKβ,TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65 increased significantly in myocardial tissue (P<0.05).Compared with model group,low,medium and high-dose compound Longmaining groups could significantly alleviate the degree of myocardial injury in rats,significantly decrease IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 and NO levels in the serum (P<0.05),significantly increase the expression level of IκBα(P<0.05),and decreased the expression levels of IKKβ,TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB p65(P<0.05).Conclusion: Compound Longmaining plays a protective effect on acute myocardial infarction by regulatingthe expressions of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway and relevant inflammatory factors.

Objective: To investigate the effects of prostate cancer exosomes on the migration and invasion ability of stromal cells (WPMY-1), and to explore its mechanism. Methods: Exosomes in LNCaP-AI+F prostate cancer cell supernatant were isolated by ultracentrifugation and the typical structure of exosome was captured by electron microscope. The particle size distribution was analyzed by Zetaview, and Wb was used to identify the marker proteins and other proteins.After co-incubation of WPMY-1 cells and prostate cancer exosomes (40 µg/ml), laser confocal microscope was used to observe the uptake of PKH67-labeled exosomes by WPMY-1 cells; Transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells; qPCR was performed to detect the expression of three cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-related molecules (IL-8, PDGFB and MMP9) at mRNA level; and the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 was analyzed by Wb. Results: Typical cup-shaped structure of exosomes was observed under electron microscope. The Zetaview results showed that the particle size distribution was concentrated at about 100 nm. The expression of exosome marker proteins CD63 andALIX further verified that the isolated particles were exosomes. Besides, EGFR, HER2 and SRC, which were related to the progression of prostate cancer, were also enriched in exosomes. After co-incubation, confocal microscope imaging showed a number of PKH67 labeled exosomes in recipient WPMY-1 cells. Transwell experiments showed that exosomes could significantly enhance the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells (all P<0.01). Compared with the control group, increased secretion of IL-8, PDGFB and MMP9 was observed after exosome treatment (40 µg/ml) (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Wb indicated that exosomes could promote the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 of WPMY-1 cells (P<0.01). Conclusion: Prostate cancer cell exosomes could act on the stromal cell WPMY-1 to highly express multiple CAF-related molecules, promote the phosphorylation of EGFR and ERK1/2 and enhance the migration and invasion ability of WPMY-1 cells.
