ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of modified Shaofu Zhuyutang in antagonizing cellular pyroptosis and fibrosis in ectopic endometrial tissues of endometriosis through the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB/NOD-like receptor protein 3 （TRL4/NF-κB/NLPR3） signaling pathway. MethodsSeventy-two SPF-grade female SD rats were randomly divided into a sham-operated group （n = 12） and a modeling group （n = 60）. The rats in the sham-operated group underwent a caesarean section， while the rats in the modeling group were used to establish an endometriosis model through the auto-transplantation method. After successful modeling， the animals were randomly divided into the model group， progesterone group （0.25 mg·kg^-1）， and modified Shaofu Zhuyutang low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （7.5， 15， 30 g·kg^-1）， with 12 animals in each group. After 4 weeks of drug administration， voluntary activity and heat pain latency were observed. The rats were sacrificed for tissue collection， and Masson staining were used to observe histopathological changes in the endometrial tissues. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure serum levels of interleukin-18 （IL-18）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to detect the protein expression area of tumor necrosis factor-related factor 6 （TRAF6） and NLPR3 in the endometrial tissues. Immunofluorescence （IF） was used to detect the relative fluorescence intensity of Caspase-1 and gasdermin D （GSDMD） in the endometrial tissues. Western blot was employed to measure the relative expression of TRL4， myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）， TRAF6， NF-κB p65， phosphorylated NF-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65）， and NLPR3 proteins in endometrial tissues. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of TRL4， MyD88， TRAF6， NF-κB， and NLPR3 in the endometrial tissues. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， rats in the model group showed reduced voluntary activity and shorter heat pain latency. Serum levels of IL-18， IL-1β， TNF-α， and TGF-β were elevated. The relative expression areas of TRAF6 and NLPR3 proteins were increased， and the relative fluorescence intensity of Caspase-1 and GSDMD was enhanced. The relative expression of TRL4， MyD88， TRAF6， NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and NLPR3 proteins， along with the expression of TRL4， MyD88， TRAF6， NF-κB， and NLPR3 mRNA， were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， rats in the progesterone group and the modified Shaofu Zhuyutang medium- and high-dose groups exhibited improved voluntary activity， longer heat pain latency， the fibrosis of endometrial tissue is alleviated. Serum levels of IL-18， IL-1β， TNF-α， and TGF-β were decreased. The relative expression areas of TRAF6 and NLPR3 proteins decreased， and the relative fluorescence intensity of Caspase-1 and GSDMD weakened. The relative expression of TRL4， MyD88， TRAF6， p-NF-κB p65， NLPR3 proteins， and TRL4， MyD88， TRAF6， NF-κB， and NLPR3 mRNA expression were reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionModified Shaofu Zhuyutang may play a therapeutic role in endometriosis by interfering with key proteins in the TRL4/NF-κB/NLPR3 signaling pathway， reducing NLRP3 inflammasome-induced cellular pyroptosis， antagonizing the fibrosis process in ectopic endometrial tissues， improving the inflammatory microenvironment in the pelvic cavity， and alleviating pain.

Objective:To investigate the mid-to-long term therapeutic effects of allogeneic bone composite prosthesis reconstruction in patients with large bone defects after the resection of distal femoral tumors.Methods:From June 2013 to December 2018, a total of 19 patients with malignant tumors of the distal femur who underwent reconstruction with allogeneic bone composite prosthesis in the Department of Bone Tumor, Shanghai General Hospital were retrospectively collected. There were 10 males and 9 females, aged 22.3±11 years (range, 11-42 years). The mean body mass index was 19.3±3.4 kg/m 2 (range, 14-27 kg/m 2). There were 18 cases of osteosarcoma and 1 case of Ewing's sarcoma. According to Ennecking staging, there were 17 cases of stage IIB and 2 cases of stage III. The intraoperative blood loss and operation time were recorded, and the prosthesis and patient survival conditions and postoperative complications were observed. The limb function was evaluated by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 93 function score. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 187.3±39.8 min (range, 110-260 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 284.9±87.0 ml (range, 200-500 ml), and the blood transfusion volume was 327±213 ml (range, 100-800 ml). The remaining length of the proximal femur was 153.7±26.6 mm (range, 93-190 mm), and the length of allogeneic bone was 84.1±24.6 mm (range, 39-134 mm). Among the 19 patients, 9 patients (47%) achieved bony union with an average healing time of 16.7±4.8 months (range, 10-25 months), and 7 patients had delayed healing with an average healing time of 18.4±4.0 months (range, 15-25 months). The remaining 10 cases were nonunion between allogeneic bone and host bone. All patients were followed up for 80.7±20.2 months (range, 56-121 months). During the follow-up, 3 cases died due to pulmonary metastasis of bone tumors, and the time of death was 57 months, 63 months, and 59 months after surgery, respectively. At the last follow-up, the patient survival rate was 84% (16/19), and the MSTS 93 function score of the 16 patients was (24.3±2.4) points (range, 21-28 points), with an excellent rate of 100% (16/16). Seven patients underwent revision surgery, 3 cases were aseptic loosening, 3 cases were prosthesis stem fracture at the junction of the allograft bone and the host bone, and 1 case was periprosthetic infection, among which the patient with periprosthetic infection had poor local soft tissue conditions due to preoperative radiotherapy, and the infection was controlled after two revision surgeries. Five cases were revised with allogeneic bone composite prosthesis, and 2 cases were revised with short-stem giant prosthesis with cortical steel plate or locking nail. After revision, the remaining length of the proximal femur was 143.4±31 mm (range, 91-175 mm), and the length of the allograft bone was 92.6±26.6 mm (range, 61-123 mm). The 7 revised patients were still in follow-up. There were no cases of pulmonary infection, nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis or other complications after surgery.Conclusion:The survival period of patients after the surgery to reconstruct large bone defects following the resection of malignant tumors at the distal end of the femur using allogeneic bone composite prosthesis is satisfactory, and the limb function is good. However, the incidence of prosthesis complications is high, which can be reconstructed through revision.

The operating room was the core department of a hospital,and its operational efficiency had a significant impact on the high-quality development of a hospital.An analysis has revealed that low efficiency and irrational allocation in the operating room were mainly due to the lack of operational regulations and norms,the unreasonable arrangement of surgical specialties,and the unbalanced allocation of supporting resources.To address these issues,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University has taken into account the overall allocation of resources for the central operating room and the central operating room,and formulated strategies to improve operational efficiency,including adjusting the operational mechanism,optimizing the structure of surgical specialties,and providing corresponding supporting resources.Based on the adjustment of surgical structure,the implementation effect of the program was measured and evaluated,which provided practical strategies for optimizing operating room efficiency in hospitals.

The increasing operating pressure of large public hospitals has forced hospitals to focus on opening up income sources and reducing expenditure.The purchase and maintenance of medical equipment is one of the important economic activities of hospi-tals.However,there are problems in large public hospitals,such as the argumentation for equipment acquisition ignoring evaluation of operational efficiency,the costing model that leads to a lack of willingness of departments to purchase equipment,and the lack of standard processes and systems for renting medical equipment among departments.Based on this,it explores the establishment of a medical equipment sharing operation mechanism in large public hospitals,promotes the improvement of the efficiency of medical equipment use in large public hospitals by establishing a medical equipment sharing center,standardizing the purchase of shared equipment,entering shared equipment information,setting up shared equipment leasing specifications,and clarifying the equipment return process and maintenance,so as to effectively control hospital operating costs,and help the high-quality development of public hospitals.
