OBJECTIVE To establish management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs, and provide reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals. METHODS First, the management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs was drafted by collecting the evidence from related medical literature. Next, using a modified Delphi method, twenty experienced experts from the fields of pharmacy, medical practice, healthcare insurance, and finance were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire consultations. Based on the expert enthusiasm coefficient, authority coefficient, degree of opinion concentration, and degree of coordination, the final indicators were determined to establish a management index system for rational drug use of key monitored drugs in medical institutions. RESULTS The expert enthusiasm coefficients reached 100% in both rounds of consultation. In first-level, second-level and third-level indicators, the authority coefficients of experts were 0.89, 0.86 and 0.87, and coordination coefficients of the experts in importance score were 0.300 (P< 0.05), 0.125 (P<0.05) and 0.139 (P<0.05), respectively. The average score for the importance of all indicators reached over 3.5, in which the full score ratio ranged from 35% to 100%. Except that the variation coefficient of a third-level indicator “number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs” was 0.26, the variation coefficients of rest indicators were less than or equal to 0.25. Based on the results of expert consultation, final version of the management index system established in this study, including two first-level indicators (drug procurement and use, and rational drug use), five second-level indicators (such as the accessibility, cost-effectiveness) and twenty third-level indicators (such as the number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs, the increase in the cost of key monitored drugs). CONCLUSIONS The management index system established in this study possesses high reliability and strong operability, and may provide a reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals.

ObjectiveTo assess the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of compound traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and to provide recommendations for standardizing the design and reporting of RCTs in this field. MethodsDatabases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data were searched for RCTs of compound TCM prescriptions in the treatment of NASH published from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023, and the articles were screened and assessed based on the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool (RoB 2), the unified standard for clinical trial reporting (CONSORT 2010), and CONSORT-CHM Formulas 2017 for compound TCM prescriptions. ResultsA total of 45 articles were finally included, and most of these studies were rated as high-risk bias by RoB 2.0. The analysis based on the CONSORT control checklist showed a relatively low reporting rate for most of the key items regarding the quality of RCT studies. ConclusionA relatively large risk of bias is observed in the clinical studies on compound TCM prescriptions in the treatment of NASH published in the past six years, which may lead to the poor quality of reporting and evidence. It is suggested that the top-level design of clinical studies should be taken seriously in addition to investigating the advantages of TCM, so as to improve the quality of clinical studies.

Yeast autolysis affects the flavor and quality of beer. The regulation of yeast autolysis is a need for industrial beer production. Previous studies on brewer's yeast autolysis showed that the citric acid cycle-related genes had a great influence on yeast autolysis. To explore the contribution of isocitrate dehydrogenase genes in autolysis, the IDP1 and IDP2 genes were destroyed or overexpressed in typical lager yeast Pilsner. The destruction of IDP1 gene improved the anti-autolytic ability of yeast, and the anti-autolytic index after 96 h autolysis was 8.40, 1.5 times higher than that of the original strain. The destruction of IDP1 gene increased the supply of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and the NADPH/NADP+ ratio was 1.94. After fermentation, intracellular ATP level was 1.8 times higher than that of the original strain, while reactive oxygen species (ROS) was reduced by 10%. The destruction of IDP2 gene resulted in rapid autolysis and a decrease in the supply of NADPH. Anti-autolytic index after 96 h autolysis was 4.03 and the NADPH/NADP+ ratio was 0.89. After fermentation, intracellular ATP level was reduced by 8% compared with original strain, ROS was 1.3 times higher than that of the original strain. The results may help understand the regulation mechanism of citric acid cycle-related genes on yeast autolysis and provide a basis for the selection of excellent yeast with controllable anti-autolytic performance.

Objective:To explore clinical features, diagnosis, localization, and therapeutic strategy of migratory pharyngeal and cervical esophageal foreign bodies.Methods:A total 23 cases of pharyngeal and cervical esophageal migratory foreign bodies were admitted between January 2015 and December 2021. There were 14 females and 9 males with the age ranged from 35 to 82 (55.0±12.7)years. In all the cases, esophageal CT was taken to confirm the esophageal foreign body. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) was performed to locate the foreign body from the horizontal, coronal and sagittal dimensions as well as the corrected reconstructed MPR. According to the location of the foreign body, appropriate surgical method was selected.The symptoms, complications, types of foreign body, positioning, surgical methods, and relevant information were recorded.Data were analyzed using the descriptive method and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:The clinical symptoms of 23 migrating esophageal foreign bodies included pharyngodynia (20/23), foreign body sensation (6/23), hoarsenss (1/23), difficulty in turning neck(1/23), difficulty in opening mouth (1/23), fever (7/23), poor appetite (1/23), and abdominal pain (1/23). The foreign bodies included 19 fish bones, 2 wires, 1 embroidery needle and 1 chicken bone. There were 9 cases (39.1%) of foreign bodies located in extraluminal cervical esophagus, 2 cases (8.7%) of foreign bodies located in the muscular layer of the cervical esophagus and 12 cases (52.2%) of foreign bodies located in pharynx. Twenty-one cases of foreign bodies were removed by cervical lateral incision, in which 11 were removed by cervical lateral incision directly, 10 by the second lateral cervical incision after the foreign bodies were accurately located by MPR and/or corrected MPR, 1 foreign body was removed by incision of the pharyngeal mucosa under suspension laryngoscope, 1 foreign body was removed by tracheoscopy. Compared with patients with intraluminal foreign bodies ( n=308) treated in the same period, intake of fishbone [19 (19/23) vs. 133 (82.6% (43.2%, 133/308), OR=7.31] and first visit was more than 24 hours [20(87.0%, 20/23) vs. 77(25.0%, 77/308), OR=17.2] were the significant risk factors of migratory esophageal foreign bodies. Conclusions:MPR and the corrected MPR can accurately locate the migrating pharyngeal and cervical esophageal foreign bodies, by providing more intuitive imaging evidence for doctors, which provide imaging basis for formulation of surgical programs. Foreign bodies in pharyngeal and cervical esophagus need to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise they are easy to migrate, leading lead to serious complications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects and related mechanism of antibiotic bone cement in treating diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From August 2020 to August 2022, 24 patients with DFU who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to the block randomization, the patients were divided into 2 groups, with 12 patients in each group. In antibiotic bone cement group, there were 7 male and 5 female patients, aged (64±8) years, with the ulcer area of (41±21) cm 2. In silver sulfadiazine group, there were 8 male and 4 female patients, aged (62±8) years, with the ulcer area of (38±19) cm 2. Under the condition of ensuring the patency of at least one main inferior genicular artery in each patient, the continuous vacuum sealing drainage was performed for 3-5 days after thorough debridement. Thereafter, the wounds in antibiotic bone cement group were treated with gentamicin-laden bone cement, and the wounds in silver sulfadiazine group were treated with silver sulfadiazine cream for dressing change. After 3 weeks of dressing change, the wound was covered with split-thickness skin graft from the lateral thigh on the affected side. Before debridement and after 3 weeks of dressing change, the blood flow intensities of wound tissue and normal skin tissue in foot were measured using laser Doppler flowmeter, and then, the percentage of relative blood flow intensity of wound and the change rate of blood flow intensity were calculated. After 3 weeks of dressing change, the wound margin tissue was taken, the number of CD31-positive neovascular and the vascular morphology were observed and detected by immunohistochemical staining, the morphology of blood vessels surrounded by CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) double-positive cells was observed by immunofluorescence staining, the cell proliferation activity was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining (denoted as the ratio of Ki67 positive cells), and the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) was detected by Western blotting. The skin graft survival was observed 3-5 days after skin grafting, and the wound healing time was recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test and Fisher's exact probability test. Results:The percentages of relative blood flow intensity of wounds of patients before debridement were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 3 weeks of dressing change, the percentage of relative blood flow intensity of wounds and the change rate of blood flow intensity of patients in antibiotic bone cement group were (44.7±2.0)% and (129±12)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (28.3±1.2)% and (41±8)% in silver sulfadiazine group (with t values of 24.15 and 20.97, respectively, P<0.05). After 3 weeks of dressing change, compared with those in silver sulfadiazine group, the number of CD31-positive neovascular in the wound margin tissue of patients in antibiotic bone cement group was significantly increased ( t=33.81, P<0.05) with larger diameter and more regular arrangement, the vascular wall continuity surrounded by CD31 and α-SMA double-positive cells was better, and the ratio of Ki67 positive cells and protein expression of VEGFR2 were significantly increased (with t values of 40.97 and 47.38, respectively, P<0.05). On post skin grafting day 3-5, all the patients in antibiotic bone cement group and 8 patients in silver sulfadiazine group had good skin graft survival, while 4 patients in silver sulfadiazine group showed spotted/patchy skin graft necrosis, which were cured after corresponding treatment. The wound healing time of patients in antibiotic bone cement group was (47.1±2.9) d, which was significantly shorter than (58.8±2.3) d in silver sulfadiazine group ( t=10.86, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with silver sulfadiazine, clinical application of antibiotic bone cement for treating DFU has the characteristics of accelerating wound healing and better reconstruction of local blood flow, which may be closely related to the fact that antibiotic bone cement promoted the local angiogenesis effectively in the wound through enhancing the expression of VEGFR2.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized children with burns who developed nosocomial infection, and screen their independent risk factors, based on which, a risk prediction model was established and evaluated.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From May 2010 to April 2023, 417 children with burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University, including 248 males and 169 females, aged ≤14 years. Statistics on the composition and source distribution of pathogenic bacteria in children were detected. According to the occurrence of nosocomial infection, the children were divided into infected group (216 cases) and uninfected group (201 cases), and the children gender, age, total area of burns, presence of full-thickness burns, cause of the injury, and season of the injury of the children in the 2 groups were collected, as well as presence of an abnormal serum albumin level, delayed resuscitation, combination of inhalation injury at admission, and early shock, tracheotomy, admission to the intensive care unit, and deep venous catheterization after post-hospitalization, and more or less times (>2 times being more and ≤2 times being less) of surgeries, indwelling catheter days, and length of hospitalization stay on post-hospitalization. The burned children were divided into modeling group (291 cases) and validation group (126 cases) according to the ratio of 7∶3, and the data of the 2 groups were recorded as before. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact probability test. The least absolute value selection and shrinkage operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to reduce the risk factors of nosocomial infection in the children in modeling group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to further screen the above screened risk factors, and the nomogram prediction model was drawn based on the further screened independent risk factors. The Bootstrap method was used for internal validation of the aforementioned predictive models, and the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and clinical decision curves of the predictive models were plotted in modeling group and validation group in order to assess its discriminative power, calibration, and clinical utility, respectively. Results:A total of 245 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected, with Staphylococcus aureus (101 strains, accounting for 41%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (54 strains, accounting for 22%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (33 strains, accounting for 13%) dominating, and the wound secretions were the most frequent source of pathogenic bacteria (211 strains, accounting for 86%), followed by blood (10 strains, accounting for 4%), and sputum (5 strains, accounting for 2%). There were statistically significant differences between infected group and non-infected group in the total burn area, indwelling catheter days, length of hospitalization stay, presence of full-thickness burns, combined with inhalation injury, and deep vein catheterization, and more or less times of surgeries (with Z values of -2.32, -3.29, and -3.85, respectively, with χ2 values of 26.36, 7.03, 10.13, and 10.53, respectively, P<0.05); there was statistically significant difference in cause of the injury between the two groups ( P<0.05). All clinical characteristics of children with burns in the modeling and validation groups were similar ( P>0.05). The six risk factors obtained from the LASSO regression analysis were full-thickness burns, deep vein catheterization, abnormal serum albumin level, multiple surgeries, indwelling catheter days, and length of hospitalization stay; the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that full-thickness burns, abnormal serum albumin level, deep vein catheterization, and multiple surgeries were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of nosocomial infection in burned children (with odds ratios of 2.27, 2.66, 4.08, and 2.92, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.22-4.21, 1.03-6.87, 1.07-15.49, and 1.15-7.42, respectively, P<0.05). The ROC curves of the prediction models showed that, the areas under the ROC curves of the modeling and validation groups were 0.81 (with 95% confidence interval of 0.78-0.84) and 0.81 (with 95% confidence interval of 0.76-0.85), respectively; the calibration curves showed that, the calibration curves of the prediction models of modeling and validation groups were around the ideal curves; the clinical decision curves showed that, the threshold probability values of the prediction models in modeling and validation groups were in the ranges of 5% to 70% and 1% to 46%, respectively. Conclusions:The main pathogen of infection in children with burns is Staphylococcus aureus from wound secretions. A nomogram risk prediction model constructed based on independent risk factors such as full-thickness burns, abnormal serum albumin level, deep venous catheterization, and multiple surgeries has good accuracy and can be easily used to predict the occurrence of nosocomial infections in hospitalized children with burns.

OBJECTIVE To explore the difference in th e mechanis m of baicalein and wogonin inhibiting the energy metabolism of hepatoma cells. METHODS Human hepatoma HepG 2 cells were divided into blank control group (without medicine),different dose groups of baicalein and wogonin (1.25,2.5,5,10 and 20 μmol/L). The effects of baicalein and wogonin on the viability of HepG 2 cells were detected by MTT assay. HepG 2 cells were divided into blank control group (without medicine),baicalein group and wogonin group. After administration ,the concentration of ATP in cell was detected by enhanced ATP kit. The levels of cell glycolysis and mitochondrial energy metabolism were evaluated by glycolysis and mitochondrial pressure test kit ;the affinity of baicalein and wogonin with key enzymes of energy metabolism was predicted by molecular docking ,and the key enzymes of energy metabolism with high affinity were screened ;the expression of key enzymes of energy metabolism was detected by Western blot. RESULTS Within the dose range of 2.5-20 μmol/L,the half inhibitory concentrations of baicalein and wogonin were 12.84 and 24.09 μmol/L;baicalein 1.25 μmol/L and wogonin 2.5 μmol/L had no effect on cell viability ,so it was selected as the dosage for subsequent experiments. Compared with blank control group ,the concentration of ATP in HepG 2 cells decreased significantly in baicalein group and wogonin group (P<0.05);the inhibitory effects on basic acidification rate of HepG 2 cells in wogonin group were significantly stronger than those of baicalein group (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between them on the basic oxygen consumption rate (P>0.05);baicalein had strong binding to pyruvate kinase M 2 and mitochondrial enzyme complexes Ⅰ(CⅠ),C Ⅱ and C Ⅳ,while wogonin only had strong binding to pyruvate kinase M 2; wogonin could significantly down-regulate the protein expressions of hexokinase ,phosphofructokinase,pyruvate kinase M 2,CⅠ, C Ⅱ and C Ⅳ(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance in the effect of baicalein on the regulation of these enzymes (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both baicalein and wogonin can inhibit the energy metabolism of hepatoma HepG 2 cells,but the mechanism is different :the effect of baicalein is related to the activity of key enzymes ,while the effect of wogonin is related to the inhibition of the expression of key enzymes of energy metabolism.

Background: The newly released Rome criteria in 2016 has a stricter and more precise definition of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) when compared with Rome III criteria. The adjustment and improvement of diagnostic criteria by Rome criteria may affect the clinical diagnosis of FGIDs. Aims: To investigate the differences and the similarities between Rome III and Rome criteria in the diagnosis of FGIDs in college students. Methods: The FGIDs database of college students in Zhejiang Province established by our previous research team were further evaluated and analyzed by Rome criteria, and the incidence, psychological symptom score, overlapping of disease of FGIDs were calculated, and compared with Rome III criteria. Results: Of the 1 870 cases in database, 1 025 (54.81%) met Rome criteria of FGIDs; while 1 111 (59.41%) met Rome III criteria, the difference in detection rate was statistically significant (P <0.01). In Rome group, incidences of belching disorders (2.14% vs. 5.83%, P<0.01), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (2.78% vs. 6.90%, P<0.01), functional abdominal bloating/distension (1.28% vs. 4.12%, P<0.01) were significantly lower than those in Rome III group, while incidence of functional diarrhea was significantly higher (3.85% vs. 0.70%, P<0.01). Patients met Rome criteria showed a higher score of obsession⁃compulsion, depression and anxiety (P<0.05). Rome criteria caused 33 (25.58%) original IBS patients included in functional diarrhea, and 6 (4.65%) original IBS patients included in function constipation. The diagnosis of functional bowel disease overlapping with other FGIDs (belching disorders, functional dyspepsia) according to Rome III and Rome criteria were statistically different (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusions: Rome criteria has a stricter and more accurate definition of FGIDs, reflecting a more accurate psychological and clinical features, and identification of patients who really need treatment, resulting in a more efficient and feasible application in clinical practice and scientific research.
