Objective To investigate the predictive value of white blood cell count,LDL-C and fasting blood glucose on the occur-rence of AMI in elderly patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CAD).Methods A total of 210 elderly patients with CAD were selected and divided into the AMI group as the case group and the chronic CAD group as the control group based on clinical manifes-tations and laboratory and coronary angiography results.The general data,laboratory data,coronary angiography results,and other clinical information of the two groups were retrospectively analyzed.We used the Logistic regression analysis to explore the risk factors for acute myocardial infarction in elderly CAD patients and the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)to evaluate the predictive efficacy of white blood cell count,LDL-C and fasting blood glucose on the occurrence of AMI in elderly CAD patients.Results Compared with the chronic CAD group,the AMI group had a higher smoking rate,white blood cell count,CRP,ALT,AST,D-D dimer,fasting blood glu-cose,total cholesterol,LDL-C and Gensini score and lower LVEF(P＜0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that white blood cell count(β=0.859,P＜0.001,OR=2.361),LDL-C(β=1.003,P=0.009,OR=2.728)and fasting blood glucose(β=0.495,P=0.007,OR=1.641)were independent risk factors for AMI in elderly CAD patients.The ROC curve analysis showed that when the cut-off values of fasting blood glucose,white blood cell count,and LDL-C were 4.895mmol/L,7.19 x 109/L and 2.635 mmol/L respectively,the area under the curve for predicting AMI was the largest,with values of 0.734,0.859 and 0.735.The area un-der the ROC curve of the combination of the three is 0.902.Conclusion White blood cell count,LDL-C and fasting blood glucose are associated with AMI in elderly patients with CAD.Higher levels of white blood cell count,LDL-C and fasting blood glucose indicate a higher risk of AMI.The combination of the three can serve as a more valuable predictive index.

Objective To analyze the impact of mini plate and cannulated screw internal fixation on joint function recovery in patients with posterior malleolus fracture.Methods A total of 150 patients with posterior malleolus fractures,treated at our hospital from March 2021 to June 2023,were included in this study.They were divided into two groups using the odd-even number method.The control group consisted of 75 patients who underwent cannulated screw internal fixation,while the study group comprised 75 patients who received mini plate internal fixation.Clinical indicators,ankle range of motion,ankle function,and health status were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Additionally,levels of inflammatory factors,postoperative complications,and clinical efficacy were assessed.Results In terms of operation time and intraoperative blood loss,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).However,the study group exhibited shorter ambulation days,fracture healing time,and hospitalization days compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Moreover,the study group demonstrated significantly improved ankle dorsiflexion,ankle plantar flexion,foot varus and foot valgus range of motion compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,higher AOFAS score and KPS score were observed in the study group as compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Furthermore,levels of IL-6,IL-8 and CRP were lower in the study group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative complica-tions was also lower in the study group than in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mini plate internal fixa-tion for posterior malleolus fracture yields ideal outcomes by promoting improvement in clinical indicators and ankle range of motion while effectively enhancing ankle function,reducing inflammatory reaction as well as minimizing postoperative complications.

Malignant tumors are one of the main causes of death from chronic diseases in China,and their incidence and mortality rates show an in-creasing trend year by year.Advanced non-surgical treatment of malignant tumors is an important means of improving patients'prognosis and en-hancing their quality of life.The traditional Chinese medicine Ganoderma lucidum has anti-tumor ef-fects and plays a role in the treatment of many ma-lignant tumors.In this paper,a systematic review of the effects of Ganoderma lucidum active ingredi-ents on tumors has been conducted at home and abroad in the past five years to explore the anti-tu-mor mechanism of Ganoderma lucidum active in-gredients and to lay a theoretical foundation for the application of Ganoderma lucidum active ingre-dients in clinical practice.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).

Objective: To compare the safety between cervical conization (CC) alone and hysterectomy for patients with adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix. Methods: Patients diagnosed with AIS after CC during 2007–2021 were identified by computerized databases at Women’s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. A total of 453 AIS patients were divided into 2 groups according to uterus preservation: hysterectomy group (n=300) and CC(s) alone group (n=153). The prevalence of residual disease and disease recurrence was compared between patients treated by CC(s) alone and hysterectomy. The prevalence of residual disease in specimens from women who had a hysterectomy and repeat CC were compared between positive and negative margins of CC. The factors influencing residual disease and disease recurrence were assessed. Results: Among 310 specimens from women who had a hysterectomy or repeat CC, the prevalence of residual disease was 50.6% (45/89) for a positive margin and 2.3% (5/221) for a negative margin (p=0.000). Four patients had recurrence of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by hysterectomy and one had recurrence of cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by CC(s) alone. The prevalence of recurrence was 0.7% (1/153) for CC(s) alone and 1.3% (4/300) for hysterectomy (p=0.431). Hysterectomy did not influence residual disease or disease recurrence. Conclusion CC is an efficacious and safe option for patients with AIS of the cervix provided the margin is negative.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the bone proportional measurement standard on the chest and abdomen of modern women. METHODS: The height, weight and distances of bone proportional measurement chest and abdomen of 101 young females were measured. The height was divided by 75 to calculate the data of bone proportional measurement, and compared with the national standard published in 2006 and the ancient literature of Miraculous Pivot: Gudu. RESULTS: The bone proportional distances between two nipples and two coracoid processes of women were 8 cun and 12 cun respectively, which were in line with the 2006 national standard. The bone proportional distance from navel to superior margin of pubic symphysis (Qugu) was 6.5 cun, which was consistent with the ancient literature of Miraculous Pivot: Gudu. The bone proportional distance from suprasternal fossa to the middle point of xiphisternal synchondrosis (Qigu) was less than 9 cun, while the bone proportional distance from Qigu to navel was more than 8 cun, resulting in the ratio less than 9︰8. The bone proportional distance from suprasternal fossa to the middle point of xiphoid process was 9 cun, corresponding to the ratio of 9︰8 when comparing with the measurement from the middle point of xiphoid process to navel. CONCLUSION The bone proportional distance measurement between two nipples and two coracoid processes of women should follow the 2006 national standard, and the bone proportional distance measurement from navel to superior margin of pubic symphysis should follow the standard of Miraculous Pivot: Gudu. The middle point of xiphisternal synchondrosis should be replaced by the middle point of xiphoid process.

The paper introduces the clinical experience of GAO Hong in treatment of tic disorder. GAO Hong believes that tic disorder results from the primary qi deficiency and mind disturbance. Acupuncture for cultivating the primary and regulating the mind is proposed specially for tic disorder. This acupuncture technique focuses on harmonizing and regulating governor vessel and conception vessel. In clinical practice, the conception vessel acupoints on the abdomen and the governor vessel acupoints on the head are selected particularly, e.g. Zhongwan (CV 12), Xiawan (CV 10), Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4) on the abdomen; Baihui (GV 20), Shenting (GV 24), Benshen (GB 13) and Yintang (GV 24⁺) on the head. The needling sequence and the insertion depth are emphasized, which affect the curative effect and GV 20 is generally punctured first. Besides, considering to the type of disorder and the affected site, tic disorder is treated in view of both syndrome/pattern differentiation and symptom differentiation.

Acupoint is the initial response site of acupuncture stimulus and also the source link of the effect onset of acupuncture. Acupuncture is a mechanical physical stimulus. How is the mechanical force of acupuncture transduced into neuroelectrical and biochemical signals at acupoint? How does the physiochemical information of acupoint launch acupuncture effect? All of these remain the common and crucial questions in the study of acupuncture effect mechanism. Physical changes are induced in the local tissue of acupoint by needling techniques, such as the deformation and displacement of muscle fibers, which may act on the nerve ending receptors and produce electroneurographic signals. Besides, these changes may activate the mechanosensitive ion channels of the cytomembrane in acupoint site. Through cellular signal transduction, the physical signals may be transformed into chemical ones to trigger the physiochemical coupling response of acupoint microenvironment. Eventually, acupuncture effect is generated via nerves and body fluids. "The mechanical force of acupuncture", through "the physiochemical transduction", promotes the body's perception and transmits acupuncture signals. It suggests that acupoint is the "transducer" in the physiochemical information coupling response of acupuncture.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.

【Objective】 To investigate the function and molecular mechanism of osteosarcoma cells derived exosome on microenvironment of target organs. 【Methods】 The osteosarcoma derived exosomes were extracted and injected into nude mice through tail vein after PKH26 fluorescence staining. The liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain tissues were extracted 24 hours later and then the amount of red fluorescence in different fields was counted under fluorescence microscope. The uptake of exosomes in different types of cells was detected by immunofluorescence. 143B derived exosomes were co-cultured with human lung fibroblasts, and the uptake was detected by fluorescence microscopy. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by RT-qPCR, while the changes of p-p65 in inflammatory signaling pathway of NF- κB and p-ERK, p-p38 in MAPK signaling were detected by western blotting. 【Results】 TSG101, Flotillin-1, CD63 and CD9 were expressed in 143B derived exosomes, and Calnexin expression was absent(P<0.05). The exosomes presented a saucer-like structure under electron microscope. The size of the exosomes is(141.92± 52.85) nm. The exosomes distributed more in lung tissue than liver, kidney, spleen and brain after injection through the tail vein of nude mice(P<0.05). The mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6and TNF-α were significantly increased in human lung fibroblast cells after incubation with 143B exosomes(P<0.05). p-p65, p-ERK and p-p38MAPK were significantly up-regulated(P<0.05) . 【Conclusions】 Osteosarcoma cells derived exosomes could activate inflammatory signaling pathway NF-κB and MAPK, and up-regulate the expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in lung fibroblast cells.
