To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen， kidney essence deficiency， liver constraint transforming into fire， and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen （TE 21）， Tinggong （SI 19）， Tinghui （GB 2）， Shenmai （BL 62） to regulate qi and blood， and supporting with Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （EX-HN 3）， Taichong （LR 3）， and Yanglingquan （GB 34） to soothe the liver， resolve constraint， and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction （益气聪明汤） and Tongqi Powder （通气散）， and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder （温清散） to navel moxibustion.

Objective:To study the regulatory mechanism of p38 MAPK signaling pathway participate in hyperalge-sia reaction in Parkinson's disease(PD)rats model induced by 6-hydroxy dopamine(6-OHDA).Methods:Forty male Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:Sham group(Sham),model group(6-OHDA),p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 treatment group(6-OHDA+SB203580)and p38 MAPK activator anisomycin(ANS)treatment group(6-OHDA+ANS).PD model was established by intra-striatal injection of 6-OHDA stereotactically.6-OHDA+SB203580 and 6-OHDA+ANS groups was injected with 6-OHDA to establish PD model,and treated with inhibitor SB203580 or activator ANS respectively.The von Frey hairs were applied to measure the mechanical paw with-draw threshold(PWT)of rats.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the content of IL-6,IL-1β,and TNF-α in rat dorsal root ganglion(DRG).The mRNA levels of genes IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK in rat DRG was detected by real time RT-PCR.Results:In the DRG of 6-OHDA included PD rats,the expres-sion levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the PWT of rats were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The application of activator ANS further increased the expression levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK,and the PWT of rats were decreased.After application of inhibitor SB203580,the ex-pression levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and p38 MAPK were significantly decreased in the DRG of rats(P＜0.05),and the PWT were significantly increased in rats(P＜0.05).Conclusion:6-OHDA induces mechanical hyperalgesia reaction in rats,and the molecular mechanism is related to activation of the p38 MAPK signalling pathway.

【Objective】 To investigate the safety and effectiveness of suctioning flexible ureteroscopy with intelligent pressure-control at different times after drainage for patients with urogenic sepsis complicated with upper urinary tract stones. 【Methods】 Clinical data of 59 patients treated in the Department of Urology, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University during May 2022 and May 2023 were collected.The patients were divided into early lithotripsy (≤1 week) group (n=27) and late lithotripsy (>1 week) group (n=32).Baseline data, imaging data and postoperative data of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 There were no significant differences between the two groups in the stone-free rate, total incidence of complications, incidence of high-grade complications, length of stay after lithotripsy, hospitalization costs after lithotripsy and total hospitalization costs (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Both early lithotripsy (<1 week) and late lithotripsy (>1 week) are safe and effective in the treatment of urogenic sepsis after drainage.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score and screw loosening after dynamic pedicle screw fixation with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods, and evaluate its predictive value. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the patients who underwent dynamic pedicle screw fixation with PEEK rods from March 2017 to June 2022. Data on age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia history, long-term smoking, alcohol consumption, VBQ score, L1–4 average Hounsfield unit (HU) value, surgical fixation length, and the lowest instrumented vertebra were collected. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between VBQ score and pedicle screw loosening (PSL). Results: A total of 24 patients experienced PSL after surgery (20.5%). PSL group and non-PSL group showed statistical differences in age, number of fixed segments, fixation to the sacrum, L1–4 average HU value, and VBQ score (p < 0.05). The VBQ score in the PSL group was higher than that in the non-PSL group (3.56 ± 0.45 vs. 2.77 ± 0.31, p < 0.001). In logistic regression analysis, VBQ score (odds ratio, 3.425; 95% confidence interval, 1.552–8.279) were identified as independent risk factors for screw loosening. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for VBQ score predicting PSL was 0.819 (p < 0.05), with the optimal threshold of 3.15 (sensitivity, 83.1%; specificity, 80.5%). Conclusion The VBQ score can independently predict postoperative screw loosening in patients undergoing lumbar dynamic pedicle screw fixation with PEEK rods, and its predictive value is comparable to HU value.

Objective:To construct a questionnaire on the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of community general practitioners for colorectal cancer screening.Methods:From September 2023 to June 2024, an initial version of questionnaire on knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of community general practitioners for colorectal cancer screening was formed based on existing guidelines and related research results; then two-round Delphi experti consultation was held to finalize the initial questionnaire.Results:Twenty one experts were invited for Delphi consultation, including 14 general practitioners and 7 gastroenterologists; 7 from community health service centers and 14 from public tertiary hospitals. The enthusiasm of experts in the first round and second round consultations was 100.0% and 90.5%; the consistency of experts was 4.03-4.75 and 4.39-4.93; the coordination of experts was 0.09-0.22 and 0.03-0.12, respectively. The Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.154 and 0.390 respectively ( P<0.001), indicating that there was significant consistency in expert opinions and the results of the letter inquiry were highly reliable. The final version of the KAP questionnaire included 28 items in three dimensions: knowledge, attitude, and behavior. Among them, knowledge items K1-K9 included the determination of risk population, risk factors, screening methods, screening intervals, and other contents; attitude items A1-A12 included attitudes towards factors of patients, doctors and government that affect screening, and attitudes towards the necessity of screening; behavior items P1-P7 included active screening behaviors such as patient assessment and advices for active screening. Conclusion:This study has preliminarily constructed a questionnaire on knowledge, belief and behavior of general practitioners for colorectal cancer screening.

Objective:To establish a mice model that is more in line with the human immunocompromised state,and to inves-tigate the regulatory effect of Rosa laevigata Michx.,probiotics and their combination on their immune function.Methods:Immunosup-pressive model of mice was established by using cyclophosphamide with different dosage,time and end point,and compared with im-munosuppressive model induced by hydrocortisone and cyclosporine A,immunosuppressive model of mice was established by injecting 25 mg/kg cyclophosphamide 7 times every other day,without recovery period;changes in the proportion of lymphocytes in spleen(CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,CD19+B cells)were analyzed by flow cytometry;qRT-PCR was used to detect expression levels of inflam-matory factors(IL-1β and IL-6)mRNA in spleen.Results:After continuous injection of 80 mg/kg cyclophosphamide for 3 days,the thymus was atrophied,the spleen was significantly swelling,proportion of immune cells CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells and CD19+B cells in spleen were significantly decreased,while mRNA expressions of IL-1β and IL-6 were up-regulated.After 7 injections of 25 mg/kg cyclophosphamide every other day,the thymus and the spleen were significantly atrophied,proportion of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells in spleen showed an increasing trend,and mRNA expressions of IL-1β and IL-6 were up-regulated;after 1 week or 2 weeks recovery period from cyclophosphamide injection,weight and index of immune organs,proportion of spleen lymphocytes and mRNA expres-sions of inflammatory cytokines in spleen were significantly reversed;Rosa laevigata Michx.combined with probiotics could signifi-cantly reverse the up-regulation of CD4+T cells and inflammatory factor IL-1β caused by cyclophosphamide.Conclusion:In this study,an immunocompromised mice model has been established with 7 injections of 25 mg/kg cyclophosphamide every other day and without recovery period.And a certain positive immunomodulatory effect of the combination of Rosa laevigata Michx.and probiotics has been found.
