This study aims to investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), the active ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on H9C2 cardiomyocytes injured by oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) through regulating mitochondrial fission and fusion. The process of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury was simulated by establishing OGD/R model. The cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection kit (cell counting kit-8, CCK-8) was used to detect cell viability; the kit method was used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), total glutathione (t-GSH), nitric oxide (NO) content, protein expression levels of mitochondrial fission and fusion, apoptosis-related detection by Western blot. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) detection kit and Hoechst 33342 fluorescence was used to observe the opening level of MPTP, and molecular docking technology was used to determine the molecular target of Sal B. The results showed that relative to control group, OGD/R injury reduced cell viability, increased the content of ROS, decreased the content of t-GSH and NO. Furthermore, OGD/R injury increased the protein expression levels of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusions 2 (Mfn2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (caspase 3), and decreased the protein expression levels of Mfn1, increased MPTP opening level. Compared with the OGD/R group, it was observed that Sal B had a protective effect at concentrations ranging from 6.25 to 100 μmol·L^-1. Sal B decreased the content of ROS, increased the content of t-GSH and NO, and Western blot showed that Sal B decreased the protein expression levels of Drp1, Mfn2, Bax and caspase 3, increased the protein expression level of Mfn1, and decreased the opening level of MPTP. In summary, Sal B may inhibit the opening of MPTP, reduce cell apoptosis and reduce OGD/R damage in H9C2 cells by regulating the balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation, mitochondrial fission and fusion, thereby providing a scientific basis for the use of Sal B in the treatment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To explore potential predictors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in early stage. Methods:The prospective multicenter study was conducted in Zhejiang, China from May 1 st, 2019 to January 31 st, 2020. A total of 1 428 patients with fever >48 hours to <120 hours were studied. Their clinical data and oral pharyngeal swab samples were collected; Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in pharyngeal swab specimens was detected. Patients with positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA results underwent a series of tests, including chest X-ray, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and procalcitonin. According to the occurrence of RMPP, the patients were divided into two groups, RMPP group and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) group. Measurement data between the 2 groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between clinical data and RMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the power of the markers for predicting RMPP. Results:A total of 1 428 patients finished the study, with 801 boys and 627 girls, aged 4.3 (2.7, 6.3) years. Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was positive in 534 cases (37.4%), of whom 446 cases (83.5%) were diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, including 251 boys and 195 girls, aged 5.2 (3.3, 6.9) years. Macrolides-resistant variation was positive in 410 cases (91.9%). Fifty-five cases were with RMPP, 391 cases with GMPP. The peak body temperature before the first visit and LDH levels in RMPP patients were higher than that in GMPP patients (39.6 (39.1, 40.0) vs. 39.2 (38.9, 39.7) ℃, 333 (279, 392) vs. 311 (259, 359) U/L, both P<0.05). Logistic regression showed the prediction probability π=exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004×LDH (U/L))/(1+exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004 × LDH (U/L))), the cut-off value to predict RMPP was 0.12, with a consensus of probability forecast of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.67; and the area under ROC curve was 0.682 (95% CI 0.593-0.771, P<0.01). Conclusion:In MPP patients with fever over 48 to <120 hours, a prediction probability π of RMPP can be calculated based on the peak body temperature and LDH level before the first visit, which can facilitate early identification of RMPP.

The expression level of NOD-like receptors(NLRP3)inflammasome is significantly elevated in breast cancer tissues,and a high level of NLRP3 inflammasomes is closely associated with breast cancer metastasis.Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome can induce the release of inflammatory factors into the tumor microenvironment(TME).These inflammatory factors,by signaling to cancer cells,reshape the TME to promote tumor growth and invasion,ultimately facilitating the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.This equips cancer cells with the ability to establish distant metastases and increase the formation of metastatic lesions.This review addresses the current research status and prospects of NLRP3 inflammasomes in the breast cancer TME and their role in breast cancer metastasis.The goal is to provide new insights for the study of breast cancer metastasis mechanisms and treatment strategies.

Objective:To explore the application value of different nutritional screening tools in the evaluation of preoperative malnutrition assessment of Crohn's patients. Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a retrospective analysis was conducted on CD patients who underwent elective surgery at the general surgery department of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from January 2021 to March 2022. The preoperative nutritional status of the patients was understood. Taking the consensus on malnutrition assessment diagnosis standards (GLIM) as the gold standard. The correlation, difference and diagnostic efficacy of 3 nutritional risk screening tools were compared. Results:A total of 212 patients were included. Using GLIM as the diagnostic standard, 131 patients (61.79％) had malnutrition. The incidence of malnutrition risk was 66.03％, 85.38％ and 55.66％ using NRS 2002 score, NS IBD score and PNI score, respectively. The sensitivities of the above three scores in the preoperative nutritional screening of IBD patients were 81.46％, 85.48％, 79.63％, respectively; the specificity were 62.36％, 54.71％, 57.12％, respectively; and the areas under the curve were 0.749, 0.763, 0.831, respectively. In the evaluation of diagnostic efficacy, NS IBD score had the highest sensitivity, and NRS 2002 had the best specificity. Conclusion:For patients with Crohn's disease undergoing elective surgery, the three nutritional risk screening tools can provide a basis for malnutrition risk screening. The items of PNI score are objective, concise, and convenient. As for the evaluation of diagnostic efficacy, the NS IBD score has the highest sensitivity and the NRS 2002 has the best specificity.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of training and domestic use of 707 clinical nutrition support specialty nurses from 21 provinces,cities,and autonomous regions in China. And to analyze their influencing factors and provide reference for improving the training system of clinical nutrition support specialty nurses,selection and development of specialist nurses in clinical nutrition support. Methods:From October to November 2023,a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 707 clinical nutrition support specialty nurses from 21 provinces,cities,and autonomous regions across China was conducted using a convenience sampling method based on a questionnaire about the training and home use of clinical nutrition support nurses. Univariate and multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the use status and application of clinical nutrition support specialty nurses in five aspects:clinical nursing practice,nursing education,nursing management,coordination,nursing research and consultation. Results:The use of specialist clinical nutrition support nurses is not ideal,with 75.67％ of specialist nurses scoring less than 208 points (i.e. less than 80％ of the total score). Among the use of different dimensions,the clinical nursing practice dimension received the highest score (54.17±10.26),followed by the nursing education dimension (36.98±8.00). The results of multiple linear regression analysis show that hospital level and professional title are independent influencing factors influencing the use and development of specialist nurses. Conclusion:There is a need to further improve the utilisation of clinical nutrition support nurses. It is recommended that links and cooperation between hospitals at all levels,communities,and families be strengthened. For specialist nurses with higher professional titles,encourage them to fully play their roles,strengthen training in weak areas,continuously optimize the professional ability of clinical nutrition support nursing teams,comprehensively improve the quality of clinical nutrition support specialist nursing,and promote their high-level development.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between phase angle (PA) and nutritional status,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay,and clinical outcomes in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with ARDS. Methods:The clinical data of patients with SAP complicated with ARDS admitted to the surgical ICU,Jinling hospital,medical school of Nanjing University,from July 2023 to March 2024 were retrospectively collected. Patients are divided into low-PA group and normal-PA group based on phase angle. The correlation analysis between phase angle,nutritional status,and clinical outcomes,and evaluation of risk factors for mortality in patients with SAP combined with ARDS were performed. Result:A total of 83 patients with SAP complicated with ARDS were included in this study. PA was negatively correlated with nutritional risk scores (rs=-0.352,P=0.001),duration of mechanical ventilation (rp=-0.475,P<0.001),length of ICU stay (rp=-0.313,P=0.004),and mortality (rs=-0.371,P=0.001). Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in age,PA value,and duration of mechanical ventilation for predicting mortality (P<0.05);Multivariate analysis showed that the PA value was an independent risk factor for mortality (P<0.05). Conclusion:PA is significantly correlated with clinical outcomes,such as nutritional risk,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of ICU stay and mortality,and may be a promising biomarker in future.
