ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Mailuoning compound solution in the treatment of hip joint pain via nerve blocks around the hip joint. MethodsFrom March 2015 to March 2019,a total of 136 patients with hip joint pain who met the inclusion criteria were admitted and divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random number table method. Among them,six cases fell off due to failure to complete five treatments,and finally, 130 patients entered clinical observation,with 65 cases in each group. The observation group used Mailuoning compound solution for nerve blocks around the hip joint(including obturator nerve,femoral nerve branch,superior gluteal nerve, and hip fascia). The control used Mailuoning compound solution for a simple obturator nerve block. The differences in the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Harris score of hip joint of the two groups before and after treatment were observed. Any adverse drug reactions and adverse events during the treatment of the patients were recorded. ResultsThe VAS score of the two groups was significantly decreased after treatment (P<0.01). The observation group had a more significant decrease compared to the control group(P<0.01). The total Harris score of hip joint, pain degree,function score, and motion of joint of the two groups were significantly improved after treatment (P<0.01). Compared with the control group,the improvement in the total Harris score of hip joint, pain degree,and function score was more significant in the observation group (P<0.01). The clinical efficacy based on the Harris score of hip joint of the two groups was compared. The excellent and good rate of the observation group was 84.62% (55/65), which was significantly better than that of the control group [56.92% (37/65)] (χ2=12.05,P<0.01). The follow-up results showed that the patients who achieved excellent and good results had stable curative effects and low recurrence rates,and there was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups. Case analysis showed that after treatment of femoral head necrosis,the saccular transparent shadow of the femoral head was significantly reduced,and the number of bone trabeculae increased. The low-density shadow decreased as can be seen on hip X-rays. In patients with hip osteoporosis after treatment,the number of bone trabeculae increased, and the low density shadow reduced. ConclusionThe use of Mailuoning compound solution for nerve blocks around the hip joint gives full play to the synergistic effect of Mailuoning compound solution and nerve block. It can effectively relieve hip joint pain,promote the recovery of hip joint function,reduce the disability rate,and improve the quality of life of patients. Early intervention is an important link in the treatment of hip joint pain diseases,which can effectively control the development of the patient's disease. Mailuoning compound solution is a new idea and method to treat hip joint pain through neuroregulation,which is easy to operate,with high safety and good therapeutic effect. In future studies,a larger sample size is needed,and more in-depth research should be conducted on the imaging changes and mechanisms of action for various hip joint pain diseases.

AIM: To analyze the influencing factors of capsular constriction syndrome(CCS)in cataract patients after phacoemulsification(Phaco)combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: Retrospective study. The data of 2 900 cataract patients(2 900 eyes)in our hospital's information system from January 2021 to January 2024 were collected. All patients were treated with Phaco combined with IOL implantation, and the incidence of CCS within 30 wk after surgery was recorded. Patients were categorized into CCS(116 cases, 116 eyes)and N-CCS group(2 784 cases, 2 784 eyes)based on the occurrence of CCS. The basic data of the two groups were compared, and the influencing factors of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.RESULTS: Among 2 900 patients(2 900 eyes)included, 116 cataract patients(116 eyes)developed CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation, with an incidence rate of 4.00%. The single factor and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the complicated diabetes, high myopia, complicated glaucoma, and axial length(AL)>30 mm were the risk factors for the occurrence of CCS after Phaco IOL implantation in cataract patients(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Attention should be paid to cataract patients with diabetes, high myopia, glaucoma and AL>30 mm, which will increase the risk of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Jiebiao Qingli decoction (JQD) in treating pneumonia caused by influenza A virus (IAV) infection. MethodsA total of 132 Balb/c mice were randomly assigned into normal control (NC), model control (IAV), oseltamivir (OSV, 37.5 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, low-dose JQD (H-, M-, and L-JQD: 6.05, 3.02, and 1.51 g·kg-1, respectively) groups. The NC group was treated with normal saline nasal drops, and the other groups were intranasally inoculated with A/Brisbane/02/2018 (H1N1) [pdm09-like virus (H1N1)] for the modeling of IAV infection. Two hours post-modeling, the NC and IAV groups were administrated with normal saline by gavage, while other groups received corresponding drugs for 7 d. The body mass, survival status, and deaths of mice were recorded daily during the administration of the drugs. On days 3 and 7, the lung index was measured for mice in each group. Pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed via hematoxylin-eosin staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was conducted to measure the viral load (IAV-M) and the mRNA levels of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in the lung tissue. Western blot was employed to measure the protein levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify serum levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). ResultsCompared with the NC group, the IAV group showed reduced survival quality and survival days (P<0.01), lung congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, elevated lung index (P<0.01), increased viral load (P<0.01), upregulated TLR7, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased IL-2 level (P<0.01), and elevated IL-6 and TNF-α levels (P<0.01). Compared with the IAV group, H-JQD prolonged survival days (P<0.05). All JQD groups alleviated pathological changes in the lung tissue and reduced the lung index (P<0.01). M-JQD and H-JQD decreased the viral load (P<0.01). H-JQD downregulated the mRNA levels of TLR7, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the protein levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB (P<0.01), increased the serum IL-2 level (P<0.01), and lowered the IL-6 and TNF-α levels (P<0.05, P<0.01). M-JQD downregulated the mRNA level of NF-κB (P<0.01) and the protein level of p38 MAPK (P<0.05), elevated the IL-2 level (P<0.01), and lowered the TNF-α level (P<0.01). ConclusionM- and H-JQD can prevent and control IAV infection-induced pneumonia dose-dependently by inhibiting the TLR7/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, increasing IL-2, and reducing excessive secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α.

Background:
and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture.
Methods:
A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture.
Results:
The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05).
Conclusion
The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.
