OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of anti-colorectal cancer growth and metastasis-related effects of Astraga-lus mongholicus Bunge-Curcuma aromatica-Paridis Rhizoma(Qi-Zhu-Zao)pairing through PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 signaling pathway mediating endoplasmic reticulum stress.METHODS Twenty-four BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into sham-operated group,model group,5-FU(5-fluorouracil)group(25 mg·kg-1),and Qi-Zhu-Zao high dose group(5.85 g·kg-1),Qi-Zhu-Zao low dose group(2.925 g·kg-1)(n=6)to construct a mouse model of colorectal cancer in situ transplantation tumor,and the inter-vention effect of Qi-Zhu-Zao combination on tumor growth was assessed by the change of tumor volume size after 15 days of administra-tion;the intervention effect of Qi-Zhu-Zao combination on tumor growth was assessed by H&E.Pathological staining was used to eval-uate the effect of Qi-Zhu-Zao combination on the liver and tumor tissues of mice.The changes of MDA,SOD and GSH-Px levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);the expression of PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 signaling pathway and EMT-related proteins were detected by protein immunoblotting(Western blot).RESULTS Compared with the model group,the tumor volume was significantly reduced(P＜0.000 1),liver and spleen metastases were less pronounced in the Qi-Zhu-Zao high-dose group,and his-topathological staining results of liver tissue and tumor produced changes in oxidative stress indicators SOD,MDA,and GSH-Px,up-regulation of ER stress-related proteins p-PERK,p-IF2α,and ATF4,etc.,upregulated the protein expression levels of E-Cadherin,downregulated N-Cadherin,Vimentin,and Snail,and inhibited the EMT process(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).CONCLUSION In this paper,we investigated the regulatory mechanism related to the inhibition of colorectal cancer growth and metastasis by the combination of Qi-Zhu-Zao trigonal medicine,and demonstrated that it may inhibit the growth and metastasis of colorectal cancer by activating the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 pathway to induce sustained ER stress and affect the EMT process of colorectal cancer.

As an important concept in Chinese medicine theory， "qi sinking" is the inheritance and extension of the thought core of sinking of qi in whole body. This article explored the concept of sinking of pectoral qi， center qi， and kidney qi in the theory of qi sinking， and believed that sinking of pectoral qi， stagnation and sinking of center qi， deficiency and sinking of kidney qi were the core pathogenesis of postoperative injury in malignant tumours. Anchored to the method of reinforcing healthy qi and lifting the sunken， this article recommended to identify pattern and treat by guiding supplement and lifting the sunken. For lung gold impairment， heart yang depletion， and pectoral qi sinking， the treatment is to warm and supplement heart and lung， lift pectoral qi， and restore the respiratory function by modified Shengxian Decoction （升陷汤） plus Guizhi Decoction （桂枝汤）； for spleen depletion and pathways blockage， liver failing to act freely， and center qi stagnation and sinking， the treatment is to warm and supplement center qi， raise yang and lift the sunken， and restore the digestive function by modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤）； for source exhausted and essence deficiency， liver qi hiding， and kidney qi deficiency to inward invasion， the treatment is to nourish the kidney and astringe the liver， consolidate the original qi and lift qi， improve the pelvic floor dysfunction， and protect the kidney function by modified Liuwei Dihuang Pill （六味地黄丸） plus Shengma Chaihu Decoction （升麻柴胡汤）. Modification need base on different disease patterns and stages， and new ideas for postoperative traditional Chinese medicine treatment and rehabilitation of malignant tumours were provided.

Objective:To explore the association between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene polymorphisms and abnormal liver function-induced by acetaminophen (APAP) drugs.Methods:An ALDH2 gene knockout mouse model was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. The obtained heterozygous mice were mated with opposite sex of heterozygotes. Genomic DNA was extracted from the tail of the offspring mouse. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was used to determine the ALDH2 genotype. APAP was further used to induce acute drug-induced liver injury models in wild-type and ALDH2 knockout mice. Blood and liver tissues of mice were collected for liver function index, HE staining, F4/80 immunohistochemistry, and other detections. The intergroup mean was compared using a one-way ANOVA. The LSD-? t test was used for pairwise comparison. Results:ALDH2 knockout mice were bred successfully. The genotyping of the offspring was segregated into the wild-type (ALDH2 +/+), heterozygous mutant (ALDH2 +/-), and homozygous mutant (ALDH2 -/-), respectively. Biochemical and histological results after APAP modeling showed that the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin (TBil) was not significantly increased in the blank control group ( P ?

Review of historical literature showed that the understanding of the indicated disease location of Modified FuMai Decoction （复脉汤加减方） has evolved from the upper jiao （焦） to the middle and lower jiao. Initially， it is used for the treatment of yin deficiency of both yin and yang in the upper jiao， changes to supplement stomach and produce fluids in the middle jiao， and is used to protect yin， clear the pathogens， conslidate yin and subdue yang so as to store the true yin of lower jiao. The unchanging principle of Fumai Decoction modifications is nourishing yin， while the changing aspects are determining the secondary treatment methods based on disease location of sanjiao， concomitant disease natures， internal injury or external contraction， warm disease or cold damage， thereby choosing the corresponding added or subtracted herbs， and providing reference for the application of classical formulas.

Objective:To revaluate the systematic reviews/meta-analysis of the literature on acupuncture in the treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia.Methods:CNKI, Wangfang, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed and Embase were searched for systematic reviews/meta-analyses of acupuncture in the treatment of stroke spastic hemiplegia from the establishment of the databases to July 27, 2022. AMSTAR 2 Scale, Prisma statement (2020) and GRADE system were used to evaluate the quality of the collected literature.Results:A total of 5 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included, all of which were rated as very low by AMSTAR 2. The 5 studies involved a total of 22 outcome measures, and the GRADE rating results were intermediate evidence in 5, low evidence in 8, and very low evidence in 9.Conclusions:Acupuncture therapy has certain therapeutic effects on reducing the degree of limb spasms and improving limb motor function in patients. However, the methodological quality of the included literature is poor, and there is limited high-level evidence to support conclusions. More high-quality experimental research is still needed to provide strong evidence-based medicine evidence.

Abstract Inoculation of COVID-19 vaccines is an important approach to preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections and reducing the severe disease and mortality of COVID-19. The elderly, children and adolescents, pregnant women, lactating women, patients with chronic diseases and immunocompromised individuals are considered to be susceptible to and at a high risk of COVID-19. Early, safe and effective inoculation of COVID-19 vaccines is critical for the successful building of the population immune barrier against COVID-19. This review, based on data from clinical trials, summarizes the safety and efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines among special populations, so as to provide insights into COVID-19 vaccination among special populations.

Retinal neovascularization (RNV) originating from retinal blood vessels is one of the main pathological features of many ocular diseases that affect vision.It is inseparably linked to choroidal neovascularization and can cause a series of complications, for instance, visual impairment as diseases progress.Pathological manifestations such as RNV and ischemic retinopathy can be constructed in mouse models by laser induction and surgery.With the continuous development of genetic engineering technology, genetic engineering has been applied in the establishment of a variety of RNV mouse models.This article introduced the RNV mouse models of laser-induced venous occlusion, oxygen-induced retinopathy, vascular endothelial growth factor high expression, and double gene knockout.These genetically engineered mouse models can have many clinical manifestations of RNV in humans.Mechanisms of inducing RNV in various types of mouse models are different, thus types and the course of RNV symptoms induced can be different.RNV mouse models induced by various mechanisms have played a role in the pathological study of RNV.This reviewed aimed to sort RNV mouse models for medical staff and researchers to evaluate new treatments for the disease, provide experimental objects for new drugs and lay a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the application value of event-related potential P300 in the evaluation of cognitive dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury. MethodsFrom January to September 2021， a total of 36 patients with traumatic brain injury who were conservatively treated in the Neurosurgery Department of the Third Hospital of Mianyang and met the diagnostic criteria were selected as the experimental group. And 36 participants were recruited from the family members and carers of other patients in the hospital as the control group. Oddball paradigm was used to measure the event-related potential P300. Montreal Cognitive Assessment （MoCA） and Mini-Mental State Examination （MMSE） were used to assess the cognitive function of the subjects. The latency and amplitude of P300， MoCA and MMSE scores were compared between two groups. The detection rates of P300 latency， MoCA and MMSE on cognitive dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury were compared. ResultsMoCA and MMSE scores in experimental group were lower than those in control group ［（18.08±4.29） vs. （27.36±1.20）， （22.53±3.54） vs. （28.11±1.09）， t=-12.510， -9.041， P<0.05］. The latency of P300 in experimental group was higher than that in control group ［（406.08±26.95）ms vs. （367.08±22.50）ms， t=6.665， P<0.05］， and the amplitude was lower than that in control group ［（7.76±0.90）μV vs.（9.87±0.99）μV， t=-9.459， P<0.05］. In experimental group， the positive detective rate of P300 latency and MoCA on cognitive dysfunction were higher than that in MMSE （χ²=5.675， 7.604， P<0.05）. ConclusionEvent-related potential P300 can be used as an objective clinical indicator for evaluating cognitive dysfunction in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of peritoneal protein clearance (Pcl) for cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:Eligible PD patients were prospectively enrolled from January 2014 to April 2015 in the PD Center of Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. All patients were followed up until death, withdrawing from PD, transferring to other centers, or the end of study period (October 1, 2018). The patients were divided into high Pcl group and low Pcl group by the median Pcl, and the differences of related indicators between the two groups were compared. A multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of Pcl. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used to compare the cumulative survival rates of patients between the two groups. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to estimate the risk of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality in relation to Pcl in PD patients.Results:A total of 271 patients were enrolled, with 135 males (49.8%), age of (56.92±0.84) years old and a median PD duration of 38.77(19.00, 63.10) months. There were 70 patients (25.8%) comorbiding with diabetes and 81 patients (29.9%) with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The median Pcl of this cohort was 67.93(52.31, 88.36) ml/d. Compared with the low Pcl group (Pcl<67.93 ml/d), the high Pcl group (Pcl≥67.93 ml/d) had older age, and greater proportion of CVD, body mass index (BMI), pulse pressure, brain natriuretic peptide, mass transfer area coefficient of creatinine (MTACcr), and lower serum albumin (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, dialysis duration, proportion of diabetes, proportion of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker, proportion of continuous ambulatory PD, high sensitivity C reactive protein, fluid removal including 24 h urine volume and 24 h ultrafiltration, and residual renal function between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum albumin ( β=-0.388, P<0.001), BMI ( β=0.189, P<0.001), and MTACcr ( β=0.247, P<0.001) were independently related to lg(Pcl). During the study period, 55 patients experienced one or more cardiovascular events and 39 patients had cardiovascular mortality. According to Kaplan-Meier analysis, cardiovascular mortality in the high Pcl group was higher than that of low Pcl group (Log-rank χ2=6.902, P=0.009). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that, high lg(Pcl) was an independent influencing factor of cardiovascular events in PD patients ( HR=7.654, 95% CI 1.676-34.945, P=0.009). Conclusions:Serum albumin, BMI and MTACcr are independently associated with Pcl, and Pcl is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in PD patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of case management mode combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing in the perioperative period of hip replacement patients.Methods:From January 2018 to May 2020, cluster sampling was used to select 110 patients undergoing hip replacement who were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, Nanjing First Hospital as the research object. According to the odd and even number of admission order, patients were divided into observation group and control group. After epidural anesthesia, patients in both groups were treated with posterolateral hip incision approach. Control group carried out ERAS nursing, and observation group implemented case management mode combined with ERAS nursing for perioperative management. We observed the intraoperative blood loss, postoperative time in bed, postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization expenses of patients between two groups, and compared the Harris score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the two groups score before surgery, one day, one month and three months after surgery.Results:The intraoperative blood loss, postoperative time in bed, postoperative hospital stay and hospitalization expenses of observation group were lower than those of control group; the Harris scores of observation group before surgery, one day, one month and three months after surgery were higher than those of control group; the VAS scores of patients in observation group were lower than those of control group at one day, one month and three months after surgery; the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Case management mode combined with ERAS nursing can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing hip replacement, shorten the hospital stay, reduce the hospitalization expense, and improve the hip joint Harris score of patients.
