ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Polygonatum neutral polysaccharides from sibiricum （PSP-NP） on colon injury in mice with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group， a COPD model group， and a PSP-NP group. The COPD model was established using smoke exposure combined with intranasal LPS administration. The PSP-NP group was simultaneously treated daily with 200 mg/kg of PSP-NP via intragastric gavage， while the other groups received an equal volume of saline. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the colon. ELISA was employed to detect the levels of LPS in serum and the expressions of ZO-1， Occludin， IL-6， and TNF-α in colon tissue. UPLC-MS was used to detect the types and contents of bile acids in colonic content， and to screen for differential bile acids. Differential microbial flora were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing， and correlation analysis was conducted with differential bile acids. PSP-NP was combined with the differential bile acids cholic acid （CA）， and deoxycholic acid （DCA） in vitro to analyze the binding capacity of PSP-NP for CA and DCA. PSP-NP was applied to NCM460 normal colonic epithelial cells cultured in CA and DCA. Cell migration ability was assessed using the scratch assay， and the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-6， and NF-κB were measured by RT-qPCR. ResultsPSP-NP effectively improved colonic damage in COPD model mice， enhanced mechanical barrier function， alleviated inflammatory response， and regulated abnormal changes in colonic flora and bile acid metabolism. Correlation analysis further revealed that PSP-NP regulated colonic bile acid metabolism and reduced the redundancy of secondary bile acids by increasing the relative abundance of Bacteroidota， Verrucomicrobiota， Bacteroides， and Akkermansia， while decreasing the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Notably， in vitro binding assays demonstrated that PSP-NP bound to differential bile acids DCA and CA， with the strongest binding capacity for DCA at 58.2%. In cellular functional studies， DCA inhibited the migration ability of colonic epithelial cells NCM460 and significantly increased the relative mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α， IL-6， and NF-κB. Importantly， co-treatment with PSP-NP significantly ameliorated the impact of DCA on NCM460 cells. ConclusionsPSP-NP may significantly improve colonic damage in COPD model mice. The mechanism may involve the regulation of colonic bile acid metabolism and bile acid profiles through both microbial modulation and direct binding， thereby reducing the damage caused by secondary bile acids such as DCA to colonic epithelial cells.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the modified sandwich teaching method based on constructivism theory in clinical teaching of neurology nursing interns.Methods:A total of 29 nursing interns who practiced in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) from June 2020 to May 2021 were selected as the control group, using the conventional clinical nursing teaching method, and 28 nursing interns who practiced from June 2021 to May 2022 were selected as the observation group, using the modified sandwich teaching method based on constructivism theory. Before graduating from the Department of Neurology, nursing interns in the two groups were compared in terms of the teaching effects, such as the score of learning initiative, theoretical examination, operation examination, and nursing round report. SPSS 25.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The score for each dimension (learning driving force, learning objectives, in-depth learning, controlled learning, and solid learning) and total score in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the scores of theoretical examination and operation examination (89.11±3.58 vs. 88.97±2.74, 93.79±2.48 vs. 93.86±2.20; P>0.05); the scores of nursing rounds in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (88.61±2.60 vs. 83.38±3.97, P<0.05). Conclusions:The modified sandwich teaching method based on constructivism theory can enhance the learning initiative and comprehensive analysis ability of nursing interns in the Department of Neurology. It is suitable for clinical nursing teaching in the Department of Neurology and is worth popularizing.

Modern TCM understands the pathogenesis of blood glucose fluctuation mainly from the viscera (spleen, kidney, liver, bile, small intestine), middle energizer, "yin fire theory", "Xuanfu depression" and "qi transformation". In clinic, blood glucose fluctuation is mainly divided into four syndrome types: qi-yin deficiency syndrome, yin-yang deficiency syndrome, exuberance of fire and heat syndrome, and heat stagnation in liver-stomach syndrome. TCM compounds can improve blood glucose fluctuation by improving insulin resistance, regulating intestinal microflora, promoting the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1, and fighting oxidative stress.

Objective:To evaluate the application of layered harvesting technique for thin anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) based on preoperative perforator mapping by colour Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).Methods:From April 2023 to November 2023, 13 patients (14 flaps) with forearm and hand wounds. were treated in the Department of Hand Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, In this study, they were 8 males and 5 females; aged from 19 to 58 years old, with a mean of 37 years old. Body Mass Index (BMI) was 17.30 - 31.87 kg/m 2 with an average of 23.64 kg/m 2. The flap area was 9 cm×6 cm-20 cm×13 cm; the flap thickness was 4-6 mm with an average of 5.2 mm. Before surgery, CDU was applied to determine the entrance of the perforator vessel and made skin marking. DSA technology was further used to relocate the position of the perforator vessel and the branches of the superficial fascia layer at the flap tangential position. Based on the precise perforator positioning, the thin ALTF was harvested between the deep and superficial layers of the superficial fascia. Regular outpatient follow-ups were conducted after surgery. Results:The 14 flaps had 1 to 2 perforators and 2 to 4 superficial fascia branches, and the preoperative positioning coincided with the intraoperative perforator entrance, and the distance was less than 1 cm. All patients were included in the follow-up from 1 to 7 months with a mean of 3.2 months. Only 1 patient had the complication delayed healing at the donor site. All flaps survived successfully and had a good appearance without secondary trimming.Conclusion:Preoperative CDU and DSA accurately locate the entrance of the perforator and the distribution of superficial fascial branches, and the layered harvesting technique for thin ALTF, effectively reduces the difficulty at harvesting of the thin flap and reduces damage to the donor site.

Objective:To observe the expression of adenosine kinase (ADK) in the hippocampus of patients with refractory epilepsy, and to explore the role of ADK in the pathogenesis of refractory epilepsy.Methods:Thirteen patients with intractable epilepsy who underwent surgical resection of hippocampal tissue at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were collected as the epilepsy group; At the same time, 4 cases of relatively normal temporal lobe brain tissue from patients with traumatic brain injury undergoing debridement surgery (without previous history of epileptic seizures) were collected, and these 4 patients served as the control group. The expression of ADK in two groups of specimens was detected at the tissue, gene, and protein levels using methods such as dual fluorescence immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT Real time PCR), and Western blotting.Results:In the human brain, ADK was mainly expressed in the nucleus of astrocytes. Through histological observation, ADK was weakly expressed in normal brain tissue, while there is significant proliferation of glial cells and excessive expression of ADK in the brain tissue of patients with refractory epilepsy. The percentage of ADK positive glial cells in the epilepsy group was (53.90±17.59)%, and the control group was (23.82±4.18)%, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). At the genetic level, using RT Real time PCR, it was found that the expression level of ADK mRNA in the epilepsy group was higher than that in the control group, with a 2 -△△Cp of 13.36, which was 13.36 times higher than that in the control group. At the protein level, the expression of ADK protein in the epilepsy group was found to be higher than that in the control group using protein immunoblotting ( P<0.01). Conclusions:ADK is weakly expressed in the nucleus of astrocytes in normal human brain tissue. In the brain tissue of patients with refractory epilepsy, astrocytes significantly proliferate and there is excessive expression of ADK. ADK may play an important role in the occurrence and development of refractory epilepsy in humans.

Objective:To discuss the value of pubo-femoral distance(PFD) in the diagnosis of infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH).Methods:Nine hundred and thirty-one infants with DDH and normal infants diagnosed by clinical examination and ultrasonography were involved from February 2022 to June 2023 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The ultrasonographic examination included Graf method and pubo-femoral distance measurement. Statistical analysis was made on the measurements of PFD of different types of hips.Results:Among all the hips, 1 359 hips were Graf type Ⅰ, 274 hips were Graf type Ⅱa, 166 hips were Graf type Ⅱb, 31 hips were Graf type Ⅱc, 7 hips were Graf type D, 13 hips were Graf type Ⅲ, and 12 hips were Graf type Ⅳ. The PFD of these hips were (0.34±0.07)cm, (0.35±0.08)cm, (0.35±0.08)cm, (0.51±0.11)cm, (0.67±0.09)cm, (0.95±0.26)cm, (1.27±0.30)cm, respectively. There was no significant difference in PFD between hips of Graf Ⅰ, Graf Ⅱa and Graf Ⅱb ( P>0.05), but there was significant difference in PFD between hips of the other Graf types ( P<0.05). The area under curve(AUC) of the PFD for the diagnosis of stability of the hips in infants was 0.959 with the cut-off value of 0.435 cm, the sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 90.4%, respectively. Conclusions:The PFD has great value in the evaluation of the stability of hip joint, and the cut-off value is 0.435 cm.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide,and oxidative stress plays a crucial role.Celastrol exhibits strong antioxidant properties in several diseases;however,whether it can affect oxidation in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury(CIRI)remains unclear.This study aimed to determine whether celastrol could reduce oxidative damage during CIRI and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Here,we found that celastrol attenuated oxidative injury in CIRI by upregulating nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2).Using alkynyl-tagged celastrol and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,we showed that celastrol directly bound to neuronally expressed developmentally downregulated 4(Nedd4)and then released Nrf2 from Nedd4 in astrocytes.Nedd4 promoted the degradation of Nrf2 through K48-linked ubiquitination and thus contributed to astrocytic reactive oxygen species production in CIRI,which was significantly blocked by celastrol.Furthermore,by inhibiting oxidative stress and astrocyte activation,celastrol effectively rescued neurons from axon damage and apoptosis.Our study uncovered Nedd4 as a direct target of celastrol,and that celastrol exerts an antioxidative effect on as-trocytes by inhibiting the interaction between Nedd4 and Nrf2 and reducing Nrf2 degradation in CIRI.

The integration of regional medical centers and community health service centers is an effective way to improve the professional ability of general practitioners in post-practice training. Its major advantage lies in the establishment of a regional general practitioner ability improvement system integrating assessment, practice and teaching under the unified health administrative department. This article introduces the path of general practitioner post-training developed by Shanghai Tongren Hospital in forms of a regional medical center combined with the community health service center under the "integrated dual-drives" model, which was carried out in Shanghai Changning District; and its preliminary accomplishment is also discussed. It may provide reference for regional medical centers to improve the ability of general practitioners through practice-driven and teaching-driven.

Objective:To analyze the clinical knowledge and training needs of general practitioners from subjective perception and objective assessment, and to analyze their relationship.Methods:A survey was conducted among general practitioners from community health service centers in Shanghai Changning district from September to December 2020. Based on the general practitioner competency indicator system designed by the project team, 17 clinical knowledge competency evaluation indicators were developed through expert consultation, and used for subjective perception and objective assessment of clinical knowledge and learning needs among general practitioners. The influencing factors of objective assessment scores were analyzed, and the relationship between subjective perception and objective assessment scores was analyzed using the four quadrant method.Results:A total of 136 general practitioners participated in the study with the mean age of (39.25±5.90) years, most of whom were attending physician (67.65%, 92/136) and had undergraduate education (88.20%, 122/136). The average daily application frequency score was (1.55±0.21), and the training needs score was (1.65±0.09) for 17 clinical knowledge items; the average objective evaluation score was (74.21±14.0) points. The older the age ( OR=1.25, 95% CI:1.14-1.37), the higher the educational level ( OR=2.11, 95% CI:1.57-2.83), and the longer the working years ( OR=1.16, 95% CI:1.04-1.30) were significantly correlated with the higher objective evaluation scores (all P<0.05). The objective evaluation scores of endocrine diseases such as diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases and respiratory diseases are the highest, and the daily application frequency and learning needs are high (the first quadrant); The objective evaluation scores of common orthopedic diseases, common psychological diseases, and planned immunity indicators were relatively low, but their daily application frequency and learning needs were relatively high (second quadrant). The objective evaluation scores of indicators such as common malignant tumors, common dermatology diseases and health problems, and common ENT diseases were low, and the daily application frequency and learning needs were also low (the third quadrant). The objective evaluation scores of indicators such as hospice and palliative care are relatively high, but their daily application frequency and training needs are relatively low (listed in the fourth quadrant). Conclusions:The clinical knowledge levels of general practitioners are correlated with age, education level, and years of practice. There is a certain overlap between the objective evaluation results of clinical knowledge and the frequency of knowledge usage and training needs of general practitioners, and a targeted training mechanism should be established.
