OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of Polygala tenuifolia compatibility on toxicity， anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy of sand-ironing Strychnos nux-vomica （SS）. METHODS The preparation of SS single decoction， SS-P. tenuifolia core-removed （PC） （1∶2.5） or （1∶5） combined decoction， and SS-PC （1∶5） mixture were carried out to investigate their median lethal dose （LD50）. Using aspirin as positive control， the number of writhing movements， analgesic rate， pain latency， ear swelling degree and inflammation inhibition rate induced by the above-mentioned medicinal liquids in mice were compared. The contents of the active and toxic components， strychnine and brucine， in the above-mentioned medicinal liquids were also determined. RESULTS The LD50 values of SS single decoction， SS-PC （1∶2.5） combined decoction， SS-PC （1∶5） combined decoction and SS- PC （1∶5） mixture were 302.00， 614.47， 1 445.44 and 1 778.28 mg/kg， respectively. Compared with control group， the number of writhing movements and ear swelling degree in the mice of the above-mentioned medicinal liquid groups were reduced or decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； pain latency [at 90 and 120 minutes in the SS single decoction group， at 60 and 90 minutes in the SS-PC （1∶2.5） combined decoction group， and at 60，90， 120 minutes in the SS-PC （1∶5） combined decoction group and SS-PC （1∶5） mixture group] was significantly prolonged （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； analgesic rates of the respective medicinal liquids were 39.30%， 70.87%， 80.00% and 82.46%， and inflammation inhibition rates were 38.08%，TD 57.89%， 76.47% and 50.46%； analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of combined decoction and mixture were generally better than those of the single decoction （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In the above-mentioned four medicinal liquids， the total contents of strychnine were 0.71%， 0.42%， 0.47% and 0.64%， and the total contents of brucine were 0.88%， 0.63%， 0.57% and 0.88%， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The combination of P. tenuifolia can reduce the toxicity of SS and enhance its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Moreover， there is a tendency for the toxicity-reducing and efficacy-enhancing effects to increase with the increasing dosage of P. tenuifolia. Additionally， the combined decoction of SS and P. tenuifolia can reduce the contents of the active and toxic components， strychnine and brucine， in SS.

Objective:To explore the value of the imaging nomogram model based on preoperative CT features of patients with small intestinal stromal tumor (SIST) in predicting pathological risk classification.Methods:This was a cohort study. The patients who were diagnosed as primary SIST by postoperative pathology in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2014 to October 2023 were retrospectively included. According to the modified 2008 National Institutes of Health classification criteria, the patients were divided into a pathological intermediate/high-risk group (86 cases) and a very low/low-risk group (56 cases). The features of preoperative enhanced CT images of SIST were analyzed, including tumor boundary, necrosis, intra-tumoral hemorrhage, intra-tumoral calcification, growth pattern, enhancement pattern, enhancement degree, enlarged vessels feeding or draining the mass (EVFDM), and tumor location. Patients were followed up to determine the recurrence-free survival (RFS). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to screen the independent predictors of SIST with pathological medium/high-risk group. The independent predictors were combined to construct an imaging prediction model, and a nomogram was drawn. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and the log-rank test was used to compare the differences in RFS.Results:Univariate logistic regression results showed that tumor shape, necrosis, intra-tumoral hemorrhage, EVFDM, and tumor location were potentially related to medium/high-risk SIST. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that tumor shape ( OR=3.92, 95% CI 1.58-9.71, P=0.003), necrosis ( OR=4.60, 95% CI 1.91-11.09, P<0.001), and EVFDM ( OR=6.25,95% CI 1.74-22.47, P=0.005) were independent predictors of pathological intermediate/high-risk SIST. The area under the curve of the imaging predictive model combining the three predictors to predict the intermediate/high-risk SIST was 0.835 (95% CI 0.769-0.901), the sensitivity was 0.810, the specificity was 0.839, and the accuracy was 0.789. Taking the cut-off value (0.810) as the boundary value, the patients were divided into the high-risk group (74 cases) and the low-risk group (68 cases) according to the prediction results. The median RFS of the predicted high-risk group was poorer than that of the predicted low-risk group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.20, P=0.023). Conclusions:The imaging nomogram model based on preoperative CT image features shape, necrosis, and EVFDM can effectively predict the pathological intermediate/high-risk SIST before surgery and has important predictive value for postoperative recurrence.

Objective Improving the limb management strategy for patients undergoing coronary intervention through radial artery puncture and observe the application effect,and to provide scientific basis for the prevention of limb complications.Methods From March 2023 to February 2024,patients who underwent coronary intervention in the Cardiovascular Department of a Tertiary A hospital in Wenzhou City were selected.They were randomly di-vided into an experimental group of 241 cases and a control group of 236 cases using a random number table method.After surgery,they were all treated with a rotary hemostatic device for compression hemostasis.The experi-mental group implement improvement strategies for surgical limb management,specifically underwent a reverse Bar-beau test upon returning to the ward after surgery to achieve non-occlusive compression,followed by decompression every hour.The compression intensity of the control group was guided by palpating the distal radial artery pulsa-tion,and the first decompression was performed 1 hour after surgery,followed by decompression at intervals of every 2 hours.The main evaluation indicators are the incidence of surgical limb complications and simplified Chinese version of General Comfort Questionnaire(GCQ)scores in 2 groups of patients,while the secondary evaluation indi-cators are the duration of compression and the number of decompression times in both groups.Results The inci-dence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was 14.11%,which was statistically significant com-pared to 44.49%in the control group(χ2=53.308,P<0.001).The GCQ score of the experimental group was(77.71±5.43)points,which was higher than(74.66±5.83)points in the control group,and the difference was statistically signif-icant(t=-3.354,P=0.001).The compression duration of(172±52)minutes and decompression frequency of 2(2,3)in the experimental group were lower than(289±60)minutes and 4(3,4)in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).Conclusion The non-occlusive compression method of the radial artery based on the reverse Barbeau test can significantly reduce limb complications in patients undergoing coronary inter-vention,shorten the duration of hemostatic compression,reduce the number of depressions,and improve patient com-fort.It provides objective basis for nursing staff to evaluate the intensity of hemostatic compression and the timing of decompression.

Objective:To establish Wistar rat models of acute radiation esophagitis, and observe the histopathological changes at different time points after modeling.Methods:Wistar rats were locally irradiated with different doses of 6 MV X-rays, and the rats were sacrificed on the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after irradiation. The full-length esophagus tissue was taken for paraffin embedding, sectioning, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for pathological assessment. The pathological changes of the esophagus of the rats were observed at the 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, and 14 th days after 25 Gy and 30 Gy irradiation. The changes of daily dietary intake of rats in different irradiation groups within 1-2 weeks after radiation exposure were observed. Results:No rat died in two groups after being irradiated with 25 Gy and 30 Gy rays. All the rats in the 30 Gy group had esophagus injury. On the 7 th day, the degree of injury was the most serious, with a pathological score of 5.00±0.75 and a food intake of 0 g. On the 14 th day, the degree of injury was relieved, and the food intake was restored to the level before irradiation. Conclusions:The Wistar rat model of acute radiation esophagitis can be established by a single dose of 6 MV X-ray 30 Gy irradiation to the esophagus. The 7 th day after irradiation is an ideal observation time for the acute injury phase, which is gradually alleviated after the 7 th day. The time can be chosen from 7-14 days after irradiation as the observation point for the healing repair phase.
