Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical characteristics and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection-associated acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) in children . METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data of 12 children with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection-associated ANE who were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from December 18 to 29, 2022. The children were divided into two groups based on outcomes: death group (7 cases) and survival group (5 cases). The clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The median age of the 12 patients was 30 months, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. All patients presented with persistent high fever, with a median highest body temperature of 41℃. The median time from fever onset to seizure or consciousness disturbance was 18 hours. The death group had a higher proportion of neurogenic shock, coagulation dysfunction, as well as elevated lactate, D-dimer, interleukin-6, interleukin--8, and interleukin-10 levels compared to the survival group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Children with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection-associated with ANE commonly present with persistent high fever, rapidly progressing disease, and have a high likelihood of developing consciousness disorders and multiorgan dysfunction within a short period. The occurrence of neurogenic shock, coagulation dysfunction, and significantly elevated cytokine levels suggests an increased risk of mortality.

Aim To observe the effect of Gupi Xiaoji Decoction (GPXJY) on the structure and function of mitochondria of human hepatoma cell HepG2 cells and explore its possible mechanism. Methods CCK8 was used to detect cell proliferation, Mito-Tracker Green fluorescence staining was used to observe the mitochondrial structure, flow cytometry was used to detect the membrane potential, Elisa was used to detect the ATP content, fluoroscopic electron microscopy was used to observe the microstructure changes, and high-content screening(HCS) was used to detect the related proteins. Results Fluorescence staining showed that GPXJY damaged the mitochondria of HepG2 cells and decreased the content of ATP. The results of flow cytometry showed that GPXJY could reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential of HepG2 cells. The results of electron microscope showed that GPXJY made the mitochondria of cancer cells swell and so on. HCS found that GPXJY significantly reduced the average fluorescence intensity of Bcl-2 in HepG2 cells, and significantly increased the average fluorescence intensity of apoptosis promoting proteins Bax, cytochrome-c, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3, which was statistically significant. Conclusion GPXJY can regulate the structure and function of mitochondria in HepG2 cells.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of Gupi Xiaoji decoction on apoptosis of human hepatoma cells HepG2. Methods: HepG2 cells were divided into 4 groups: control group (Control), blank serum group (Blank), Gupi Xiaoji Yin serum group (GPXJY) and cisplatin group (Positive). Eight duplicate holes were set in each group. After treated with Gupi Xiaoji Decoction-containing serum or cisplatin for 24 hours, the cell viability, the number of viable cells, the state of apoptosis, the cell cycle and the mitochondrial membrane potential were detected, and the level of lipid peroxidation (MDA) and glycolysis rate of the cells were detected. The expressions of apoptotic Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 proteins, and the contents of triacylglycerol (TG), cholesterol (TC), pyruvate and glucose in the cell supernatant were detected. Results: Compared with the control group, in the GPXJY group, the inhibition rate was increased (P＜0.05), the number of cells was decreased, the number of apoptosis-positive cells was increased (P＜0.01), the number of cells in the G1 phase was increased significantly (P＜0.05), and the cell membrane potential was decreased (P＜0.05,P＜0.01), the glycolytic function was inhibited significantly, the MDA level was increased, the expressions of Bax and Caspase-3 in the GPXJY group were increased, and the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased (P＜0.05, P＜0.01). In cell supernatant, the TC, TG and glucose contents were decreased significantly, and the pyruvate content was increased significantly (P＜0.05,P＜0.01). Conclusion: Gupi Xiaoji Decoction can induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells and may play a role in energy metabolism.

The classical famous prescription Dajianzhong Decoction is recorded in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It has a long history and definite clinical effects, while this prescription has not been manufactured into Chinese patent medicine preparation. We collected many ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) by using the method of bibliometrics and got 211 valid data terms which involved 67 ancient books. The history, main treated syndromes, formulation principle, origins and processiong of medicinal materials, and decoction method of Dajianzhong Decoction were analyzed. Despite the different views of various generations of medical experts toward the composition of this prescription, the compatibility ratio of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma to Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens is constant. Furthermore, we explored the origins of synonyms of Dajianzhong Decoction. On the basis of this study, we hope to gain an insight into the research and development of the compound preparations of Dajianzhong Decoction and provide reference for the heritage and innovation of other classical prescriptions.

Objective: Systematically summarize the research progress of clinical trials of gastric cancer oncology drugs and the overview of marketed drugs in China from 2012 to 2021, providing data and decision-making evidence for relevant departments. Methods: Based on the registration database of the drug clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of Food and Drug Administration of China and the data query system of domestic and imported drugs, the information on gastric cancer drug clinical trials, investigational drugs and marketed drugs from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021 was analyzed, and the differences between Chinese and foreign enterprises in terms of trial scope, trial phase, treatment lines and drug type, effect and mechanism studies were compared. Results: A total of 114 drug clinical trials related to gastric tumor were registered in China from 2012 to 2021, accounting for 3.7% (114/3 041) of all anticancer drug clinical trials in the same period, the registration number showed a significant growth rate after 2016 and reached its peak with 32 trials in 2020. Among them, 85 (74.6%, 85/114) trials were initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise. Compared with foreign pharmaceutical enterprise, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprise had higher rates of phase I trials (35.3% vs 6.9%, P=0.001), but the rate of international multicenter trials (11.9% vs 67.9%, P<0.001) was relatively low. There were 76 different drugs involved in relevant clinical trials, of which 65 (85.5%) were targeted drugs. For targeted drugs, HER2 is the most common one (14 types), followed by PD-1 and multi-target VEGER. In the past ten years, 3 of 4 marketed drugs for gastric cancer treatment were domestic and included in the national medical insurance directory. Conclusions: From 2012 to 2021, China has made some progress in drug research and development for gastric carcinoma. However, compared with the serious disease burden, it is still insufficient. Targeted strengthening of research and development of investment in many aspects of gastric cancer drugs, such as new target discovery, matured target excavating, combination drug development and early line therapy promotion, is the key work in the future, especially for domestic companies.

ObjectiveTo screen the active antitumor components of Gupi Xiaoji decoction by network pharmacology and molecular docking based on the pyroptosis mediated by cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease 1 （Caspase-1） and explore its molecular mechanism in intervening in the pyroptosis of HepG2.2.15 cells through in vitro experiments. MethodThe compounds and targets of Gupi Xiaoji decoction were screened out by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform（TCMSP） to obtain the corresponding gene symbols. The targets of Caspase-1 were collected from GeneCards，online mendelian inheritance in man（OMIM），PharmGKB，and TTD，and the compound-gene target regulatory network was constructed by Cytoscape. The protein-protein interaction（PPI） network was established and analyzed by STRING. The mechanism of the effective components of Gupi Xiaoji decoction on Caspase-1 was predicted by gene ontology（GO） functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses. The molecular docking was verified with AutoDock Vina. The plasma medicated with Gupi Xiaoji Decoction was prepared and HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured in vitro. HepG2.2.15 cells were divided into a blank plasma group，a VX-765 group，a VX-765+medicated plasma group， and a medicated plasma group. After 48 hours of intervention with 15% medicated plasma， the expression and distribution of gasdermin D-N （GSDMD-N） on the surface of the cell membrane were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The release of lactic dehydrogenase （LDH）， interleukin（IL）-1β，and IL-18 in the cell supernatant was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） kits. The expression of Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N was measured by Western blot. ResultThe mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 （MAPK14），MAPK1，protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， MAPK8， V-Jun sarcoma virus oncogene homolog （JUN）， and TP53 screened by network pharmacology were the main targets. The compounds 7-hydroxy-5，8-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-chromone，wogonin，rhamnazin，moslosooflavone，isorhamnetin，7-O-methylisomucronulatol，formononetin，calycosin，luteolin，quercetin，kaempferol，β-sitosterol，and baicalein screened by network pharmacology were the main active components of Gupi Xiaoji decoction. Go enrichment analysis showed that multiple biological processes were involved， including responses to oxidative stress and metal ions，ubiquitin-like protein ligase binding，and phosphatase binding. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed MAPK pathway，nuclear factor（NF）-κB pathway，p53 pathway， and hypoxia-inducible factor-1（HIF-1） pathway were involved. Molecular docking showed that the targets had good binding with the components. In vitro experiments displayed that compared with the blank plasma group，the VX-765 group showed weakened GSDMD-N fluorescence signal，reduced release of LDH，IL-1β，and IL-18，and declining expression of Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N（P<0.01）， and the medicated plasma group showed increased GSDMD-N fluorescence signal， increased release of LDH，IL-1β，and IL-18，and up-regulated expression of Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N（P<0.01）. ConclusionGupi Xiaoji Decoction can induce the pyroptosis of HepG2.2.15 cells by regulating Caspase-1 through multiple targets and multiple pathways.

Objective To investigate the association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene C677T (MTHFR C677T) polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods A total of 6971 subjects including 2707 DR patients and 4264 controls from 23 studies were enrolled in the study. A random-effects model was applied to estimate the overall effects and the stratified effects of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism on the risk of DR, and study quality was also assessed. Results Strong associations were observed between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and DR. The carries of MTHFR C677T were more likely to be found in the DR group in relative to the healthy control group with odds ratio 1.68, 2.55, and 2.31 respectively in allele contrast model (T vs. C, 95%CI: 1.29-2.18, P<0.001, I ²=78.4%), homozygous model (TT vs. CC, 95%CI: 1.70-3.83, P=0.008, I ²=54.4%) and dominant model (TT+CT vs. CC, 95%CI: 1.62-3.29, P<0.001, I ²=74.7%). This association can also be found in contrast to the Ncd (non-complicated diabetic mellitus) group (allele contrast, OR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.07-2.11, P=0.032, I ²=62.1%; homozygous, OR=2.39, 95%CI: 1.06-5.38, P=0.017, I ²=66.7%; dominant, OR=1.59, 95%CI: 0.97-2.62, P=0.056, I ²=56.5%). For the heterozygous model (CT vs. CC), the association was significant in contrast to the healthy control group (OR=1.46, 95%CI: 1.64-3.69, P=0, I ²=77.3%), while in contrast to the Ncd control group the association was not statistically meaningful (OR=1.38, 95%CI: 0.87-2.18, P=0.131, I ²=43.7%). For the recessive model, 1.92-fold increased risk was found only in contrast to the Ncd control group (95%CI: 1.07-3.43, P=0.064, I ²=55.0%). There was no significant association found in the models in contrast to the DM control group. Conclusion In this meta-analysis, we found an association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and DR, especially in contrast to the Ncd control group. Further studies are required to establish more definite relationship.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the current situation, screening, clinical characteristics, prevention and treatment of bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension in Tibet region.Methods:Clinical data of cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension through March 2017 to February 2020 from Tibet region were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results:511 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study, of which 185 cases (36.20%) had compensated cirrhosis and 326 cases (63.80%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Further analysis of the etiological data of liver cirrhosis showed that 306 cases (59.88%) were of chronic hepatitis B, 113 cases (22.11%) of alcoholic liver disease, and 68 cases (13.31%) of chronic hepatitis B combined with alcoholic liver disease. Among patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 48 cases (25.95%) underwent endoscopic examination of which 33 diagnosed as high-risk variceal bleeding. However, none of these 33 cases had received non-selective β-blocker therapy, and only four patients had received endoscopic variceal banding therapy. Among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 83 cases (25.46%) had a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 297 cases (91.10%) had ascites, 23 cases (7.05%) had hepatic encephalopathy, and 3 cases (0.92%) had hepatorenal syndrome. Among the patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 42 cases (50.60%) had received secondary preventive treatment for bleeding esophageal varices, including 39 cases of endoscopic treatment, 1 case of endoscopic combined drug treatment, 3 cases of interventional treatment, and 2 cases of surgical treatment.Conclusion:Chronic hepatitis B and alcoholic liver diseases are the main causes of liver cirrhosis in Tibet region. Moreover, this region lacks screening, prevention and treatment for bleeding esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the screening of high-risk groups to prevent and improve the first-time bleeding, and promote multidisciplinary team to prevent and treat re-bleeding.
