OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of volatile oil of Ligusticum chuanxiong on the transdermal properties and cytotoxicity of triptolide in vitro. METHODS The chemical constituents of the volatile oil of L. chuanxiong were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The lower abdominal skin of KM mice was separated and divided into triptolide group， triptolide in compatibility with volatile oil of L. chuanxiong groups at 1∶10， 1∶50， 1∶100 （hereinafter referred to as “compatibility 1∶10”“compatibility 1∶50”“compatibility 1∶100” groups）. After the skin of mice in each group was fully exposed to 0.2 g of the corresponding cream for 24 h， the cumulative transdermal dose （Qn） of triptolide in the receiving solution of each group was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography， and the transdermal absorption rate （Jss） was calculated. Human immortalized keratinocytes （HaCat） were used as a model， the CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell survival rate of different concentrations of the volatile oil of L. chuanxiong and triptolide before and after compatibility. RESULTS A total of 62 chemical constituents of the volatile oil of L. chuanxiong were identified， including Z-ligustilide， senkyunolide， and β-selinene. The Qn （P＜ 0.01） and Jss of triptolide increased within 24 h in the compatibility 1∶10 and 1∶50 groups， while the Qn （P＜0.05） and Jss decreased in the compatibility 1∶100 group as compared with the triptolide group. Compared with the triptolide group， the cell survival rate of HaCat was significantly increased in the compatibility 1∶10 and 1∶50 groups when the triptolide concentrations were 36， 72 and 144 ng/mL （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； while the cell survival rate of HaCat was decreased in the compatibility 1∶100 group， but the difference was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS When the compatibility ratio of triptolide and volatile oil of L. chuanxiong was 1∶10 or 1∶50， it can promote the transdermal absorption of triptolide and reduce the cytotoxicity of triptolide to HaCat.

Objective:To carry out evidence-based nursing for standardized management of stress hyperglycemia in perioperative period of gastrointestinal tumor patients, and to formulate indicators, analyze obstacles and promoting factors, formulate action strategies.Methods:Guided by the Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing model, evidence were searched, evaluated and summarized. Clinical indicators and review methods were formulated to carry out quality review. From November 2021 to April 2022, the medical staff and patients in the gastrointestinal surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University who met the inclusion criteria were conducted, and the incidence of compliance rate was calculated. Based on the results of the baseline review, the obstacles and contributing factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 26 pieces of best evidence were included and 14 indicators were formulated for 48 medical staff and 45 patients to clinical review, among which the compliance rate of 7 indicators was less than 60%. The main obstacle factors were lack of procedures and instruments for management of perioperative stress hyperglycemia in gastrointestinal tumor patients, lack of knowledge of medical staff, etc. The main promoting factors were organizational support, good atmosphere of medical team cooperation, strong willingness to change, etc.Conclusions:There is a big gap between the clinical practice and the best evidence of perioperative stress hyperglycemia management in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. Action strategies should be put forward for obstacles and promoting factors to promote evidence transformation.

[Objective]To investigate the efficacy of a blended instruction model which incorporated preceptorship into the clinical anatomy course at Sun Yat-sen University and improve satisfaction and performance of medical students.[Methods]The study recruited participants including 375 Chinese students aged 20-24 years old,2 anatomy professors,49 surgeons and 7 lab technicians. The students were divided into 10 teams and each team was tutored by 1 anatomy professor,2 surgeons and 1 lab technician. After the course ended,the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and Student Experience in Education Questionnaire (SEEQ) were used in the survey to measure the quality of teaching and students' overall educational experience. Students' performance scores were collected and analyzed.[Results]The response rates for CEQ and SEEQ were 60.3％ (226/375) and 54.6％ (200/375),respectively. CEQ indicated a moderate level of overall satisfaction with 7.12 out of 10. Subscales like Clear Goals,Good Teaching and Generic Skills showed moderately positive reception of the course,while subscales like Appropriate Workload and Appropriate Assessment revealed students' concerns about heavy workload and difficult exam. There was no statistically significant difference in perceptions between male and female students. The students who are more satisfied with the quality of the course are also more satisfied with the way it is taught (P<0.01). SEEQ further confirmed the universal appeal of the course,with high scores in dimensions like Learning,Enthusiasm and Individual Rapport among the students. Qualitative responses highlighted areas of improvement,such as consistent teaching methods,practical hands-on experience for the students and alignment between what was taught and tested.The students after the preceptorship introduction achieved better academic performance than before.[Conclusions]The blended instruction model incorporating preceptorship enhances the student satisfaction and performance in clinical anatomy course,and also stimulates students' learning enthusiasm and group interaction. We need further improvement in the teaching quality control,syllabus contents and course assessment for teaching of clinical anatomy.

Objective:To investigate the role of miR-182-5p regulated primary cilia loss on migration of TPC-1 in papillary thyroid cancers(PTC).Methods:Ten cases of PTC and adjacent tissues were collected from the First Hospital of Lanzhou University, The expression of miR-182-5p in PTC tissue and TPC-1 cells was detected by qPCR, and the frequency of primary cilia was detected by immunofluorescence; Overexpressing miR-182-5p, the migrated number of TPC-1 was detected by Transwell assay; Interfering TPC-1 with siRNA-IFT88, the migrated number of TPC-1 and the frequency of primary cilia were detected, respectively.Results:Compared with control, the expression of miR-182-5p was significantly upregulated in PTC and TPC-1, the frequency of primary cilia in PTC and TPC-1 was downregulated. Overexpressing miR-182-5p increased the migrated number of TPC-1 cell and reduced the number of TPC-1 cell migration(27%, P=0.002); After siRNA-IFT88 treatment, primary cilia in TPC-1 became shorter and thinner, with a decrease in frequency( P=0.001), the migrated number of TPC-1 cell increased, and TPC-1 cell showed smaller nuclei and fewer microvilli. Conclusion:The regulation of primary cilia loss by miR-182-5p through the PI3K pathway contributes to the migration of TPC-1 cells. The loss of primary cilia has an adverse impact on the prognosis of PTC.

Perimenopausal syndrome （MPS）， a common endocrine system disease， is one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in endocrinology， gynecology， and interdisciplinary fields of both Western and Chinese medicine to discuss the advantages and challenges of diagnosing and treating MPS with Western medicine， TCM， and integrative medicine. Experts at the conference believe that MPS is initiated by estrogen decline and rooted in deficiency， with the pathogenesis being imbalance between Yin and Yang in the kidney. The hormone replacement therapy in Western medicine for menopause can rapidly alleviate related symptoms by quickly restoring the estrogen level and timely detect and delay complications of menopause， whereas such a therapy has certain risks， necessitating close monitoring of adverse reactions. Moreover， the various contraindications and precautions limit the clinical application of the hormone replacement therapy. TCM has advantages in synergistically alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes， sweating， sleep disorders， and emotional abnormalities of MPS without causing obvious adverse reactions. However， its efficacy is slower than the hormone replacement therapy， and the TCM evidence for preventing and treating complications of menopause remains unclear. Three suggestions were proposed for the future development of both Western and TCM for ameliorating MPS. First， an integrated diagnosis and treatment system for MPS with both Western and Chinese medicine should be established. Second， high-quality evidence-based interventions for MPS should be developed with TCM alone or in combination with Western medicine. Third， efforts should be made to promote the new TCM drug development and the interdisciplinary cooperation for treating MPS.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of peripheral blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25 (OH) D3] level with T cell subsets in multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 11 newly diagnosed MM patients hospitalized in Heze Municipal Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Jining from June 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and 8 healthy people were selected as the healthy control group. The patients achieved disease remission after 4 courses of BD (bortezomib + dexamethasone) regimen. High performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to measure the peripheral blood 25-(OH) D3 level in MM patients at initial diagnosis and after 4 courses of treatment, as well as people in the healthy control group. The proportion of peripheral blood helper T cell (Th) 1, Th2, Th17, and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in CD3 + CD8 + T cells was measured by using flow cytometry. IgA, IgG, IgM, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG) levels were analyzed by using fully automatic biochemical analyser. Cytoanalyze was used to detect the hemoglobin level in the peripheral blood. The differences of all indicators in MM patients at initial diagnosis, remission after treatment and the healthy control group were compared. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation of the peripheral blood 25-(OH) D3 level with T cell subsets and other biochemical indicators in MM patients at initial diagnosis and remission after treatment. Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the peripheral blood 25-(OH) D3 level, Th1-to-Th2 ratio (Th1/Th2), the proportion of Treg cells were all decreased (all P < 0.01), and Th17-to-Treg cells ratio (Th17/Treg) was increased ( P = 0.002). The proportion of Th17 and Th17/Treg in MM patients achieving remission after treatment was higher than that in the healthy control group (all P < 0.05); the proportion of Treg cells in MM patients achieving remission after treatment was lower than that in the healthy control group ( P = 0.010); 25-(OH) D3 level in MM patients achieving remission after treatment was lower than that in the healthy control group, while the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0.060). The peripheral blood IgM in MM patients at initial diagnosis and those achieving remission after treatment was lower than that in the healthy control group (all P < 0.01); the levels of LDH and β 2-MG in MM patients at initial diagnosis and those achieving remission after treatment was higher than that in the healthy control group (all P < 0.05). The peripheral blood 25-(OH) D3 level in MM patients at initial diagnosis was positively correlated with the proportion of Th1, Th1/Th2 ( r values 0.89, 0.60, all P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with the proportion of Th17 and Th17/Treg ( r values -0.61, -0.75, all P < 0.05). After treatment, there was no correlation of the proportion of Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg, Th1/Th2, Th17/Treg with peripheral blood 25- (OH) D3 level for patients achieving remission ( r values were -0.36, -0.45, -0.10, 0.10, 0.19, 0.03, all P > 0.05). IgM, LDH, β 2-MG was negatively correlated with 25- (OH) D3 level in the peripheral blood of MM patients at initial diagnosis ( r values were -0.76, -0.71, -0.62, all P < 0.05); while there was no correlation of 25-(OH) D3 level with IgA, IgG, IgM, LDH, β 2-MG, hemoglobin for patients achieving remission after treatment ( r values were -0.36, 0.19, -0.09, 0.47, 0.47, -0.11, all P > 0.05). Conclusions:MM patients show the decreased peripheral blood 25-(OH) D3 level, the increased Th17 and the decreased Treg cells; 25-(OH) D3 level is related to the imbalance of Th1/Th2/Th17/Treg, which suggests that 25-(OH) D3 may be related to the development, progression, prognosis and abnormal immune responses in the body of MM.
