ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of imprinting template of flavonoid clusters in four Chinese medicines attributed to the lung meridian， and to establish an in vitro experimental approach for the study of the attribution of Chinese medicines to the lung meridian. MethodBased on 13 Chinese medicines， including Xanthii Fructus， Houttuyniae Herba， Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma， Belamcandae Rhizoma and so on， which only belong to the lung meridian in Chinese Materia Medica（the 13^th Five-Year planning textbook of general higher education）， we identified four representative Chinese medicines， namely Houttuyniae Herba， Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma， Belamcandae Rhizoma and Mori Cortex， and set up their fingerprints by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） and calculated the molecular connectivity indices of various components in the four Chinese medicines， the similarity to their mean value was calculated by included angle cosine method， so as to establish the quantitative relationship of construction versus imprinting ability， and to determine the order of each component in the lung meridian. A total of 7 reference substances， including chlorogenic acid， rutin， quercetin， isoquercitrin， hyperoside， epicatechin， and iridin， were selected to validate the overall conformational relationships of flavonoids of the model， as well as its predictive ability. ResultHouttuyniae Herba， Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma， Belamcandae Rhizoma and Mori Cortex contained a total of 437 chemical components with an average molecular connectivity index similarity of 0.995 6. The four Chinese medicines contained a total of 204 flavonoids with an average molecular connectivity index similarity of 0.978 0， which was second only to the alkaloids with 0.985 1. The retention time（t_R） of the 7 reference substances showed a good conformational relationship with the similarity of the molecular connectivity index（t_R=831.4×S-790.3， r=0.861 4， P<0.01）， which was applicable to the in vitro attribution study of the position， similarity， and relative similarity with t_R of the cluster of 98.04% of flavonoids. Accordingly， the 1^st position was kuwanon D， with a similarity of molecular connectivity index of 0.987 7 and a t_R of 30.88 min， the 200^th position was chlorogenic acid， with a similarity of molecular connectivity index of 0.958 2 and a t_R of 6.36 min. The total first-order moment of the four Chinese medicines calculated by total statistical moment method of fingerprint was 24.26 min， ranked 21， which could characterize 99.19% of the whole， and the total first-order moment of the total peak area of the 7 reference substances in the four Chinese medicines was 20.00 min， with a rank of 46， which could characterize 98.68% of the whole. ConclusionFlavonoid clusters are suitable probes for the characterization of imprinting template for the study of the lung meridian， which can be established a quantitative imprinting method for meridian tropism of Chinese medicines in vitro.

OBJECTIVE:Percutaneous sacroiliac screw internal fixation has become the main surgical procedure for the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures;however,the unassisted closure operation requires high operator experience and repeated fluoroscopy increases the radiation hazard for patients and medical personnel.This article compares the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus unassisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement for posterior pelvic ring fractures by meta-analysis. METHODS:Computer searches of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were conducted from the time of database inception to December 2022.The literature on the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus freehand percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures was collected in and outside China.The data were independently screened and extracted by two investigators according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,respectively.The quality of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using Cochrane risk assessment criteria.The quality of included cohort studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software for inclusion metrics.Outcome metrics included operative time,intraoperative bleeding,fluoroscopy time,fluoroscopy frequency,number of holes drilled,Majeed postoperative function score,the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture reduction,the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position,fracture healing time and complications. RESULTS:(1)A total of 13 publications were included,2 were randomized controlled trials both referring to randomized methods,11 non-randomized controlled studies were evaluated for quality of literature according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale,1 scored 8,9 scored 7;and 1 scored 6;the quality of literature was good.A total of 748 patients were included,including 430 in the robot-assisted group and 318 in the freehand group.(2)The results of the meta-analysis showed that the operative time(MD=-28.30,95%CI:-40.20 to-16.40),intraoperative bleeding(MD=-6.36,95%CI:-10.06 to-2.66),intraoperative fluoroscopy time(MD=-12.13,95%CI:-19.54 to-4.72),intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency(MD=-17.39,95%CI:-29.00 to-5.78),number of intraoperative needle drillings(SMD=-9.50,95%CI:-14.27 to-4.73)and the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position(OR=8.65,95%Cl:3.26-22.92)in the robot-assisted group were significantly better than those in the freehand group(P<0.05).(3)In the robot-assisted group,the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(OR=0.10,95%Cl:0.02-0.48,P<0.05).(4)No significant difference was detected in fracture healing time(MD=-0.08,95%CI:-0.21,0.06),the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture repositioning rate(OR=2.06,95%Cl:0.97-4.39),and Majeed functional score(MD=0.91,95%CI:-0.31-2.13)between both groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Compared with freehand sacroiliac joint nailing,robotic assistance shortens the operative time,reduces intraoperative bleeding,decreases radiation damage to patients and medical staff,improves the excellent and good rate of screw position,and reduces the overall incidence of postoperative complications in patients,but there was no significant improvement in fracture reduction quality,fracture healing time,and postoperative function.In the future,more large-sample,multicenter,and high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and prognosis of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-associated idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of PLA2R-associated IMN patients who received RTX treatment in the Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from September 2018 to March 2023 were collected. According to remission status of proteinuria, the patients were divided into proteinuria remission group (24-hour urinary protein quantity < 3.5 g) and non-proteinuria remission group (24-hour urinary protein quantity ≥ 3.5 g), and the clinical data between the two groups were compared. According to baseline 24-hour urinary protein quantity and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the patients were divided into high-risk disease progression group [24-hour urinary protein quantity ≥ 8 g or eGFR < 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1] and non-high-risk disease progression group [24-hour urinary protein quantity < 8 g or eGFR ≥ 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1]. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was utilized to compare the differences of proteinuria remission rates and renal composite endpoint event survival rates between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was utilized to identify the influencing factors of proteinuria remission and renal composite endpoint event. Results:This study included 46 PLA2R-associated IMN patients, with 31 males (67.4%). The baseline eGFR was (78.4±34.1) ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1. The 24-hour urinary protein quantity was 8.33 (6.04, 12.85) g. After 14.95 (7.44, 22.15) months of follow-up, 29 patients (63.0%) achieved proteinuria remission, with remission time of 6.0 (5.0, 9.0) months. Six (20.7%) patients relapsed, with relapsed time of 17.25 (11.75, 18.28) months. CD20 in the proteinuria remission group was lower than that in the non-proteinuria remission group ( Z=2.270, P=0.023). Eleven (23.9%) patients experienced renal composite endpoint events wtih occurrence time of 16.07 (7.87, 29.63) months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in proteinuria remission rates (log-rank χ2=0.26, P=0.612) and renal composite endpoint event survival rates (log-rank χ2=0.25, P=0.619) between baseline 24-hour urinary protein quantity ≥ 8 g and < 8 g groups. There was no statistically significant difference in proteinuria remission rates after RTX treatment (log-rank χ2=0.77, P=0.381) and renal composite endpoint event survival rates (log-rank χ2=1.41, P=0.236) between eGFR ≥ 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 and < 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hypertension history ( HR=0.16, 95% CI 0.05-0.55), immunosuppressive therapy history ( HR=0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.50), baseline eGFR < 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 ( HR=0.21, 95% CI 0.05-0.92), baseline PLA2R antibody titer ≥ 100 RU/ml ( HR=0.20, 95% CI 0.06-0.69), long time between treatment and first diagnosis ( HR=1.33, 95% CI 1.12-1.57), high baseline triglyceride ( HR=1.46, 95% CI 1.02-2.08), and baseline 24-hour urinary protein quantity ≥ 8 g ( HR=8.54, 95% CI 2.08-35.12) were independent influencing factors of proteinuria remission after RTX treatment. The baseline PLA2R antibody titer ≥ 100 RU/ml was an independent influencing factor of reaching the renal composite endpoint event ( HR=7.31, 95% CI 1.23-43.62). Conclusions:The proteinuria remission rate after RTX treatment of PLA2R-associated IMN is 63.0% and the recurrence rate is 20.7%. The incidence rate of renal composite endpoint event is 23.9%. The hypertension history, immunosuppressant medication history, baseline eGFR < 60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1, baseline PLA2R antibody titer ≥ 100 RU/ml, long time between treatment and first diagnosis, high baseline triglyceride, and baseline 24-hour urinary protein quantity ≥ 8 g are independent influencing factors of proteinuria remission, and baseline PLA2R antibody titer ≥ 100 RU/ml is an independent risk factor of renal poor prognosis in PLA2R-associated IMN patients.

Objective To observe the value of MRI for differentiating flaps and tumor recurrence after tongue cancer reconstruction.Methods Totally 139 patients after flap reconstruction for tongue cancers were retrospectively enrolled,and MRI manifestations of flaps and recurrence of tongue cancer were comparatively analyzed.Results During follow-up,local flaps mainly presented as equal signals on T1WI,high signals on T2WI within 5 months but then predominately as equal signals.Free flaps consistently showed mixed high signals on both T1WI and T2WI,with striated and sheeted muscle signals.The recurrent lesions consistently showed slightly inhomogeneous equal signals on T1WI and high signals on T2WI.The degree of enhancement of flaps gradually decreased,while the recurrent lesions continued to show severe enhancement.The margins of flaps were predominantly indistinct within 5 months after reconstruction,then became distinct in≥13 while＜74 months with smaller size than before,while recurrent lesions continued to show indistinct borders.The mylohyoid muscles and hyoglossus muscles predominantly swelled within 5 months after construction but then atrophied.Hematoma and cyst cavity in the operation area could be observed 5 months after construction.The recurrence lesions located in the lower and posterior junction part of flaps and the residual tongue tissue,spiculated margins could be found in the ipsilateral or contralateral mylohyoid muscles and hyoglossus muscles,as well as cervical lymph node and distant metastases.Conclusion MRI was helpful to differentiating flaps and recurrence lesions after tongue cancer reconstruction.

Objective To analyze the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional extraventricular drainage in the treatment of severe hypertensive intraventricular hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 50 cases with neuroendoscopic ventricular hematoma evacuation(endoscopy group)and 44 cases with traditional ventricles external puncture drainage(drainage group)from July 2020 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed,and the hematoma clearance rates,classification of activities of daily living(ADL)scale,incidence of hydrocephalus,secondary bleeding,intracranial infection,and pulmonary infection were observed between the two groups of patients.Results After surgery,the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60％and ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ in the endoscopy group were significantly higher than those in the drainage group[the proportion of patients with hematoma clearance rate>60％:88.0％(44/50)vs.47.7％(21/44),χ2=17.794,P<0.001;the proportion of individuals with ADL grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ:94.0％(47/50)vs.77.3％(33/44),respectively,χ2=5.459,P=0.019],the incidence of complications in endoscopy group was significantly lower in the drainage group[8.0％(4/50)vs.34.1％(15/44),χ2=9.879,P=0.002].Conclusion Compared with traditional ventricular puncture drainage surgery,neuroendoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of severe hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular casting can achieve better treatment outcomes,a higher hematoma clearance rate,and fewer postoperative complications.

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of super selective renal artery embolization-assisted(SRAE-assisted)laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(LPN).Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with stage T1 renal carcinoma,who received LPN,was conducted.The patients were divided into SRAE group(performing LPN without adopting renal hilum vascular clamping)and VC group(performing LPN with adopting renal hilum vascular clamping).The time spent for operation,amount of intraoperative blood loss,and preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two groups.According to the warm ischemia time(WIT),the patients of the VC group were subdivided into WIT＜25 min subgroup and WIT≥25 min subgroup,and the preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two subgroups.Results A total of 59 patients with renal carcinoma were enrolled in this study,including 12 patients in SRAE group and 47 patients in VC group.In VC group,WIT＜25 min subgroup had 33 patients and WIT≥25 min subgroup had 14 patients.In both SRAE group and VC group,no patient was referred to open surgery or total nephrectomy.No patient in SRAE group was referred to traditional LPN.The time spent for operation in SRAE group and VC group was 100.50(73.75,132.50)min and 120.00(90.00,145.00)min respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)in SRAE group was 100.56(82.85,106.81),which was remarkably higher than 84.66(70.84,94.85)in VC group(P＜0.05).The postoperative serum creatinine level in VC group was 90.50(77.10,104.90)μmol/L,which was strikingly higher than 72.24(65.97,80.27)μmol/L in SRAE group(P＜0.05).The amount of intraoperative blood loss in SRAE group was 50(50,50)mL,which was lower than 50(50,100)mL in VC group(P＜0.05).In VC group,the postoperative eGFR in WIT≥25 min subgroup was 66.13(47.08,82.50),which was lower than 90.80(77.18,98.78)in WIT＜25 min subgroup(P＜0.05).During the postoperative one-year follow-up,no recurrence was observed in both groups.Conclusion Compared with traditional LPN,SRAE-assisted LPN doesn't need to obstruct the renal hilus during surgery,which can avoid the ischemic impairment of the residual renal function and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss,moreover,it doesn't increase the operation time,doesn't increase the incidence of complications such as postoperative bleeding,etc.and doesn't affect the curative efficacy and patient's prognosis.

Biofilms are closely associated with the tough healing and dysfunctional inflammation of chronic wounds. Photothermal therapy (PTT) emerged as a suitable alternative which could destroy the structure of biofilms with local physical heat. However, the efficacy of PTT is limited because the excessive hyperthermia could damage surrounding tissues. Besides, the difficult reserve and delivery of photothermal agents makes PTT hard to eradicate biofilms as expectation. Herein, we present a GelMA-EGF/Gelatin-MPDA-LZM bilayer hydrogel dressing to perform lysozyme-enhanced PTT for biofilms eradication and a further acceleration to the repair of chronic wounds. Gelatin was used as inner layer hydrogel to reserve lysozyme (LZM) loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) (MPDA-LZM) nanoparticles, which could rapidly liquefy while temperature rising so as to achieve a bulk release of nanoparticles. MPDA-LZM nanoparticles serve as photothermal agents with antibacterial capability, could deeply penetrate and destroy biofilms. In addition, the outer layer hydrogel consisted of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) promoted wound healing and tissue regeneration. It displayed remarkable efficacy on alleviating infection and accelerating wound healing in vivo. Overall, the innovative therapeutic strategy we came up with has significant effect on biofilms eradication and shows promising application in promoting the repair of clinical chronic wounds.

Objective     To recognize the different phases of Korotkoff sounds through deep learning technology, so as to improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement in different populations. Methods     A classification model of the Korotkoff sounds phases was designed, which fused attention mechanism (Attention), residual network (ResNet) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). First, a single Korotkoff sound signal was extracted from the whole Korotkoff sounds signals beat by beat, and each Korotkoff sound signal was converted into a Mel spectrogram. Then, the local feature extraction of Mel spectrogram was processed by using the Attention mechanism and ResNet network, and BiLSTM network was used to deal with the temporal relations between features, and full-connection layer network was applied in reducing the dimension of features. Finally, the classification was completed by SoftMax function. The dataset used in this study was collected from 44 volunteers (24 females, 20 males with an average age of 36 years), and the model performance was verified using 10-fold cross-validation. Results     The classification accuracy of the established model for the 5 types of Korotkoff sounds phases was 93.4%, which was higher than that of other models. Conclusion     This study proves that the deep learning method can accurately classify Korotkoff sounds phases, which lays a strong technical foundation for the subsequent design of automatic blood pressure measurement methods based on the classification of the Korotkoff sounds phases.

Under the influence of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the disadvantages of traditional blended teaching, which has been developed for 20 years, are gradually being revealed. With the help of modern network technology and under the guidance of minimalism, the new blended teaching model adheres to the principle of systematic, holistic, ecological, and collaborative reform and thus can not only efficiently realize the teaching goal of "improvement in self-learning ability and high-order thinking ability", but also achieve innovation and inheritance of "excellent teaching concepts and methods". On this basis, this study forms the "151 framework and BASIC mechanism", which will promote the reform and upgrading of blended teaching from point to surface and then to a three-dimensional structure and ensure that blended teaching has stronger vitality in the new era.
