Objective To determine the correlation between single-nucleotide polymorphisms of IL-17 with type 2 diabetes in Han population in southeastern Shanxi Provincein.Methods The basic information and related clinical data of the subjects were collected of normal healthy controls and T2DM.Whole blood DNA was extracted,and IL-17 polymorphisms(rs2275913,rs3819024,rs4711998 and rs8193036)were analyzed by using a polymerase chain reaction-high temperature ligase reaction.Results There was no significant difference in the genotype and allele frequency distribution of the four SNP loci of IL-17 gene between the two groups(P>0.05).IL-17 polymorphism was not linked with T2DM in multiple genetic models after controlling for age,BMI,WC,and dyslipidemia(P>0.05).Further analysis showed that the levels of AA genotype was substantially lower of FPG and HOMA-IR levels when compared with the AG and GG genotypes,and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).However,BMI,FINS,HbA1c and HOMA-βwas no statistical significance among the three groups(P>0.05).Besides,WC and HOMA-IR of AA genotype(rs3819024)were notable higher than those of GG genotype in T2DM group(P<0.05).Conclusions The IL-17 gene polymorphisms rs2275913,rs3819024,rs4711998,and rs8193036 in the Han population of southeast Shanxi Province may not be associated with T2DM.In this region Han T2DM patients,AA genotype at rs2275913 of the IL-17 gene is associ-ated to FPG and HOMA-IR,while GG genotype at rs3819024 is related to WC and HOMA-IR,which could be the potential genotype of IL-17 impacting glucose metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect proanthocyanidin B2(PC-B2) on oxidative damage and apoptosis of mouse astrocytes(AS) induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and its mechanism. METHODS AS were isolated and cultured from neonatal C57BL/6 mice(1−3 d). The optimal concentration of H2O2 and PC-B2 was divided into four groups: normal group, normal+PC-B2 group(100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h), H2O2 model group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 treated for 24 h), PC-B2 group(200 μmol·L‒1 H2O2 and 100 μg·mL‒1 PC-B2 treated for 24 h). The cell viability of each group was detected by CCK-8 method. Cytotoxicity was detected by LDH method. The antioxidant capacity was detected by ABTS and DPPH. The content of MDA and the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px were detected by ELISA kit. Detection of apoptosis in each group was done by TUNEL staining. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, Akt/Stat3, p-Akt, p-Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 in AS were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS PC-B2 could significantly enhance cell viability and inhibit AS apoptosis. Compared with the H2O2 model group, PC-B2 intervention could significantly reduce the content of LDH and MDA in AS, and increase the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px. PC-B2 intervention could inhibit the mRNA and protein expression of Bax and Caspase-3, and up-regulate the mRNA and protein expression of Akt/Stat3, Bcl-2, Nrf2/HO-1. CONCLUSION PC-B2 can enhance the antioxidant capacity of AS through Akt/Stat3 and Nrf2/HO-1 pathways, therefore reduce H2O2-induced AS oxidative damage and apoptosis.

The growth of three plague phages from Qinghai Plateau in two Yersinia pestis strains(plague vaccine strains EV76 and 614F)and four non-Yersinia pestis strains(Yersinia pseudotuberculosis PTB3,PTB5,Escherichia coli V517,and Yersinia enterocolitica 52302-2)were detected through a micromethod based on the OmniLogTM microbial identification system and by the drop method,to provide a scientific basis for future ecological studies and classification based on the host range.For plague vaccine strains EV76 and 614F,successful phage infection and subsequent phage growth were observed in the host bacte-rium.Diminished bacterial growth and respiration and a concomitant decrease in color were observed with the OmniLogTM mi-crobial identification system at 33 ℃ for 48 h.Yersinia pseudotuberculosis PTB5 was sensitive to Yersinia pestis phage 476,but Yersinia pseudotuberculosis PST5 was insensitive to phage 087 and 072204.Three strains of non-Yersinia pestis(Yersinia pseudotuberculosis PTB3,Escherichia coli V517,and Yersinia enterocolitica 52302-2)were insensitive to Yersinia pestis pha-ges 087,072204,and 476 showed similar growth curves.The growth of phages 476 and 087,as determined with the drop method,in two Yersinia pestis strains(plague vaccine strains EV76 and 614F)and four non-Yersinia pestis strains(Yersinia pseudotuberculosis PTB3,Escherichia coli V517,and Yersin-ia enterocolitica 52302-2)showed the same results at 37 ℃,on the basis of comparisons with the OmniLogTM microbial i-dentification system;in contrast,phages 072204 did not show plaques on solid medium at 37 ℃ with plague vaccine strains EV76 and 614F.Determination based on the OmniLogTM detection system can be used as an alternative to the traditional determination of the host range,thus providing favorable application val-ue for determining the interaction between the phage and host bacteria.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HSYA)on autophagy in bEnd.3 cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD).Methods The bEnd.3 cells were divided into normal group(conventional culture),model group(OGD model),HSYA group(OGD model+75 μmol·L-1 HSYA),3-methyladenine(3MA)group(5 mmol·L-1 3MA+OGD model)and 3 MA+HSYA group(5 mmol·L-1 3 MA+OGD model+75 μmol·L-1 HSYA).The level of apoptosis was determined by TUNEL fluorescence staining;Western blot was used to detect the expression of autophagy,blood brain barrier(BBB)related proteins;real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method for determining the expression of sirtuin-1(SIRT1)and forkhead box protein O3a(FOXO3A)mRNA.Results In the normal group,model group,HSYA group,3MA group and 3MA+HSYA group,the positive cells selected for TUNEL staining were 5.00±1.00,28.00±2.00,21.00±3.00,35.33±2.51 and 29.67±2.52;the expression levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Ⅱ/-Ⅰ(LC3-Ⅱ/-Ⅰ)were 0.90±0.20,1.34±0.10,1.95±0.14,0.76±0.15 and 1.14±0.09;sequestosome 1(P62)were 0.99±0.02,0.60±0.02,0.38±0.01,0.67±0.04 and 0.54±0.01;occludin were 1.39±0.17,0.62±0.15,1.00±0.09,0.40±0.13 and 0.80±0.15;zonula occludens-1(ZO-1)were 1.63±0.20,0.64±0.06,0.98±0.14,0.37±0.14 and 0.87±0.04;SIRT1 mRNA were 1.00±0.00,0.75±0.07,1.69±0.09,0.31±0.02 and 0.56±0.01;FOXO3A mRNA were 1.00±0.00,0.80±0.05,1.47±0.09,0.40±0.01 and 0.62±0.09,respectively.Significant differences were found between model group and normal group,HSYA group and model group,3MA+HSYA group and 3MA group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Conclusion HSYA may enhance autophagy levels in bEnd.3 cells after OGD through the SIRT1/FOXO3A pathway,inhibit cell apoptosis and alleviate BBB damage.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preemptive analgesia with ibuprofen on postoperative pain following single posterior tooth implantation, aiming to provide a clinical reference for its application.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group trial was conducted. A total of 82 participants were included in the trial, meeting the eligibility criteria from April 2022 to April 2024 at the Capital Medical University School of Stomatology (40 cases), Beijing TianTan Hospital, Capital Medical University (22 cases), Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University (20 cases). Participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to either the ibuprofen group or the control group, with each group comprising 41 individuals. Participants in the ibuprofen group received 300 mg of sustained-release ibuprofen capsules orally 15 min before surgery, while the control group received a placebo. Both groups received the same postoperative analgesic regimen for 3 days. Pain scores were assessed using the numerical rating scale at 30 min, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h postoperatively, and the additional use of analgesic medication was recorded from days 4 to 6 postoperatively.Results:A total of 82 participants were initially enrolled in the study, with 7 dropouts (4 from the control group and 3 from the ibuprofen group), resulting in 75 participants (37 in the control group and 38 in the ibuprofen group) completing the trial. There were no reports of adverse events such as nausea or vomiting among the participants. The ibuprofen group exhibited significantly lower pain scores at 4 h, 6 h and 8 h [1.0 (0.0, 2.0), 1.0 (0.0, 2.0), 1.5 (0.0, 3.0) ] postoperatively compared to the control group 4 h, 6 h and 8 h [2.0 (1.0, 3.0), 3.0 (1.5, 4.0), 2.0 (1.0, 4.0)] ( Z=-1.99, P=0.047; Z=-3.01, P=0.003; Z=-2.10, P=0.036). The proportions of patients requiring additional analgesic medication between days 4 and 6 post-surgery were 18.4% (7/38) in the ibuprofen group and 27.0% (10/37) in the control group, with no significant difference (χ 2=0.79, P=0.373). The median additional medication usage postoperatively was [0.0 (0.0, 0.0) pills] in the ibuprofen group and [0.0 (0.0, 1.0) pills] in the control group, with no significant difference ( Z=-0.78, P=0.439). Conclusions:Preemptive analgesia with ibuprofen effectively reduces postoperative pain following tooth implantation, representing a safe and effective perioperative pain management strategy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of male im-mune infertility(MII)by meta-analysis.Methods:We retrieved randomized controlled trial(RCT)on the treatment of male im-mune infertility with traditional Chinese medicine from the databases of WanFang,Chinese Biomedical Literature,Cochrane Library,Weipu,PubMed and CNKI,and performed methodological quality assessment of the RCTs identified and statistical analysis and evalua-tion of the publication bias using the RevMan5.4 software.Results:Totally,25 RCTs(2 563 cases)were included in this study.Compared with Western medicine alone in the treatment of MII,TCM achieved a significantly higher total effectiveness rate(OR=6.35,95% CI:4.96-8.13,P<0.000 01),negative conversion rate of seminal plasma anti-sperm antibodies(OR=4.52,95% CI:2.72-7.51,P<0.000 01),negative rate of serum anti-sperm antibodies(OR=2.98,95% CI:2.23-3.96,P<0.000 01),sperm concentration(MD=15.56,95% CI:11.32-19.79,P<0.000 01),grade a sperm motility(MD=3.85,95% CI:1.91-5.79,P=0.000 01),grade a+b sperm motility(MD=13.77,95% CI:7.06-20.48,P<0.000 1),sperm viability(MD=10.32,95% CI:6.78-13.86,P<0.000 01)and pregnancy rate(OR=3.53,95% CI:2.68-4.63,P<0.000 01),but a lower rate of adverse reactions(OR=0.06,95% CI:0.01-0.23,P<0.000 01).There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm between TCM and Western medicine alone in the treatment of MII(MD=-7.53,95% CI:-15.50-0.44,P=0.06).Conclusion:TCM has a definite effectiveness and high safe in the treatment of male immune infertility.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of establishing an animal model of rectovaginal fistula in rabbits by magnetic compression technique.Methods A magnetic device suitable for preparing rabbit rectovaginal fistula model was self-designed.Eight New Zealand female rabbits were used as experimental subjects.They were placed in a supine position after auricular intravenous anesthesia,and the magnets were placed on both sides of the rectovaginal septum through the vagina and anus,respectively,and the magnets were made to attract together.The operation time was recorded,the general state of the experimental rabbits was observed after operation,and the time of magnet discharge was recorded.The experimental rabbits were killed 1 week after operation to obtain rectovaginal fistula specimens,and the formation of rectovaginal fistula was observed by naked eye.Results The animal model of rectovaginal fistula was successfully established in 8 experimental rabbits.The operation process was smooth,with an average time of(1.63±0.70)minutes.The rabbits were generally in good condition after operation.The magnet was discharged from the body at(4.63±0.99)day after operation,and the rectovaginal fistula specimens were obtained 1 week after operation,and the rectovaginal fistula was well formed by naked eye observation.Conclusion The establishment of rabbit rectovaginal fistula model by magnetic compression technique has the advantages of simple operation and high success rate of model preparation.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with alcoholic liver disease(ALD)of various traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 129 patients with alcoholic liver disease who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2018 to 2022.The general data of the patients as well as their TCM syndrome types and clinical information of liver and kidney function,blood lipid,liver transient elastography during the hospital visit were collected.The distribution of TCM syndrome types in ALD patients was analyzed,and the clinical characteristics of the ALD patients with various TCM syndrome types were explored.Results(1)Of the 129 patients,128(99.22%)were male and only one(0.78%)was female,the average age was(48.71±11.50)years old,and the average body mass index(BMI)was(23.82±3.98)kg·m-2.(2)Damp-heat accumulation syndrome was most common syndrome type in ALD patients,with a total of 70 cases(54.26%),and then came liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome(24 cases,18.60%),internal obstruction of phlegm-damp syndrome(22 cases,17.05%),liver-kidney sufficiency syndrome(7 cases,5.43%),phlegm interweaved with blood stasis syndrome(3 cases,2.33%),and internal accumulation of blood stasis syndrome(3 cases,2.33%).(3)The analysis of clinical characteristics by non-parametric rank sum test showed that there were no statistically significant differences in BMI,alcohol consumption,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT),total bilirubin(TBIL),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),triglyceride(TG),liver stiffness measurement(LSM),and controlled attenuation parameter(CAP)which reflects the fat content of liver in ALD patients with various TCM syndrome types(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The prominent features were as follows:patients with the 4 types of liver depression and spleen deficiency,internal obstruction of phlegm-damp,phlegm interweaved with blood stasis,and internal accumulation of blood stasis had a BMI exceeding the standard(＞24 kg·m-2),whereas patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome and liver-kidney deficiency syndrome,which accounted for 54.26%of the sample size,had a BMI within the normal range(23.03 kg·m-2 and 21.42 kg·m-2,respectively),and the BMI of these two types differed from that(26.44 kg·m-2)of the internal obstruction of phlegm-damp syndrome(P＜0.01),suggesting that more than half of the ALD patients had the normal BMI;moreover,the patients with internal obstruction of phlegm-damp also had the highest values of serum TG(2.69 mmol/L)and CAP(292 db/m)except for the highest BMI,indicating that patients with internal obstruction of phlegm-damp syndrome had a more serious degree of obesity and hepatic fat infiltration than those with other syndrome types;the levels of AST and GGT,which separately reflect the chronic inflammatory injury of liver and bile duct cell injury,were significantly increased in the patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome and liver-kidney deficiency syndrome,and the LSM value of these two types of patients was also the highest in all of the syndrome types,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Damp-heat accumulation syndrome is the main TCM syndrome type of ALD patients,the degree of fatty infiltration of the liver and overweight of ALD patients are not corresponded to the severity of illness,and there are some differences in the clinical indicators of ALD patients with various TCM syndrome types.However,with cross reference to the data of the four diagnostic examinations of TCM and the clinical indicators,the accuracy of the TCM diagnosis of ALD is expected to be increased.
