ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effect of Xuebijing injection （XBJ） on severe acute pancreatitis induced acute lung injury （SAP-ALI） by regulating formyl peptide receptors （FPRs）/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 （NLRP3） inflammatory pathway. MethodsSixty rats were randomly divided into a sham group， a SAP-ALI model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose XBJ groups （4， 8， and 12 mL·kg^-1）， and a positive drug （BOC2， 0.2 mg·kg^-1） group. For the sham group， the pancreas of rats was only gently flipped after laparotomy， and then the abdomen was closed， while for the remaining five groups， SAP-ALI rat models were established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate （Na-Tc） via the biliopancreatic duct. XBJ and BOC2 were administered via intraperitoneal injection once daily for 3 d prior to modeling and 0.5 h after modeling. Blood was collected from the abdominal aorta 6 h after the completion of modeling， and the expression of interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in plasma was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The amount of ascites was measured， and the dry-wet weight ratios of pancreatic and lung tissue were determined. Pancreatic and lung tissue was taken for hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining to observe pathological changes and then scored. The protein expression levels of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue were detected by the immunohistochemical method. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the SAP-ALI model group showed significantly decreased dry-wet weight ratio of lung tissue （P<0.01）， serious pathological changes of lung tissue， a significantly increased pathological score （P<0.01）， and significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue （P<0.01）. After BOC2 intervention， the above detection indicators were significantly reversed （P<0.01）. After treatment with XBJ， the groups of different XBJ doses achieved results consistent with BOC2 intervention. ConclusionXBJ can effectively improve the inflammatory response of the lungs in SAP-ALI rats and reduce damage. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expression of FPRs and NLRP3 in lung tissue， which thereby reduces IL-1β and simultaneously antagonize the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of discriminative application of Chinese patent medicines in female patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods:The study population was from the Chinese Patent Medicine (CPM) trial. CPM trial was a multicenter prospective cohort study, which enrolled patients from 40 centers in mainland China between February 2012 and December 2015, with the discriminative use of Chinese patent medicines as the exposure factor. Female patients with ACS after PCI who completed 36-month follow-up were included in this analysis, and were divided into a conventional treatment group (using conventional western medicine recommended by the guidelines) and a group with the discriminative use of proprietary Chinese medicines (on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment, discriminative use of Qishen Yiqi dropping pills for Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, Guanxin Danshen dropping pills for blood stasis syndrome, and Danlou tablets for phlegm and blood stasis syndrome combined with the conventional western medicine). The primary endpoint event was a composite endpoint event including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and emergency revascularization surgery. Secondary endpoint events were composite endpoint events including readmission for ACS, heart failure, stroke, and other thrombotic events. Adverse events were collected. Cox proportional risk model was used to assess the effect of discriminatory application of Chinese patent medicine on endpoint events, and sensitivity analysis was performed by comparing the results with propensity score matching analysis.Results:A total of 748 female ACS post-PCI patients were included in the analysis, aged (63.2±8.3) years. There were 370 patients in the group of discriminative application of Chinese patent medicines and 378 patients in the conventional treatment group. There were 37 cases (10.0%) and 58 cases (15.3%) of primary endpoint events in the discriminatory application of Chinese patent medicines group and the conventional treatment group, respectively. Cox analysis showed that the risk of primary endpoint in the discriminatory application of Chinese patent medicines group was lower than that in the conventional treatment group after adjusting for confounding factors (adjusted HR=0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.96, P=0.031). There were 38 (10.3%) and 57 (15.1%) cases of secondary endpoint events in the two groups, respectively. Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of secondary endpoint events in the discriminatory application of Chinese patent medicine group was lower than that in the conventional treatment group after adjusting for confounders (adjusted HR=0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.87, P=0.001). The results of propensity score matching analysis also showed that Chinese patent medicines based on discriminatory application could reduce the risk of primary endpoint ( HR=0.62,95% CI 0.40-0.97 ,P=0.033) and second endpoint ( HR=0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.87, P=0.009) significantly. There was no significant difference in adverse events between the two groups (12.4% (46/370) vs. 10.3% (39/378), P=0.362). Conclusion:On the basis of conventional western medicine treatment, discriminatory application of Chinese patent medicines can reduce the risk of endpoints in female patients after PCI due to ACS without significant adverse effects.

Objective To explore the effects of circ_100284 in affecting the invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)cells and their sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)chemotherapy via regulating miR-217/mitogen-activated protein kinase 1(MAPK1)acting as a competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA).Methods The bioinformatics approach was used to analyze the differentially expressed circRNAs in ESCC.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of circ_100284 in ESCC tissues and cells.The 5-FU-resistant KYSE450 cell line(KYSE45-R)was established by increasing concentrations of 5-FU.The IC50 of 5-FU in KYSE450 and KYSE450-R cells was determined through MTT assay.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of circ_100284,miR-217,and MAPK1 mRNA in KYSE450 and KYSE450-R cells,while Western blotting detecting the protein expression of MAPK1.In the experiments with KYSE450-R cells,we set up the following groups:(1)blank group(without treatment),si-NC group(transfected with si-NC),si-circ_100284 group(transfected with si-circ_100284),pc-Control group(transfected with pc-Control),pc-circ_100284 group(transfected with pc-circ_100284),pc-circ_100284+mimic NC group(transfected with pc-circ_100284 and mimic NC),and pc-circ_100284+miR-217 mimic group(transfected with pc-circ_100284 and miR-217 mimic).These groups were subjected to MTT assay to detect cell viability,Transwell assay to detect cell invasion,and flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis.(2)Blank group(without treatment),si-NC group(transfected with si-MAPK1 negative control),si-MAPK1 group(transfected with si-MAPK1),si-MAPK1+inhibitor NC group(transfected with si-MAPK1 and inhibitor NC),and si-MAPK1+miR-217 inhibitor group(transfected with si-MAPK1 and miR-217 inhibitor).We detected the mRNA and protein expression of MAPK1 using qRT-PCR and Western blotting.We evaluated cell viability using MTT assay,invasion with Transwell assay,and apoptosis by flow cytometry.circ_100284-WT or circ_100284-MUT reporter plasmids,as well as MAPK1-WT or MAPK1-MUT reporter plasmids,were co-transfected with miR-NC or miR-217 mimic into KYSE450-R cells for 48 h,and dual luciferase reporter assay was used to measure luciferase activity.Results The bioinformatics analysis revealed significant upregulation of circ_100284 in ESCC.Compared with adjacent normal tissues,the expression of circ_100284 in ESCC tissues is enhanced(P<0.05);compared with the HECC cells,the TE-11,ECA109 and KYSE450 ESCC cell lines showed enhanced expression of circ_100284(P<0.05).Compared with the KYSE450 cells,KYSE450-R cells demonstrated increased IC50 with enhanced expression of circ_100284 and MAPK1 but suppressed expression of miR-217(P<0.05).Compared with the si-NC group,the si-circ_100284 group demonstrated inhibited invasion and proliferation of cells with increased apoptosis(P<0.05).Compared with pc-Control group,the invasion and proliferation of cells in the pc-circ_100284 group are increased,and cell apoptosis is decreased(P<0.05).Over-expression of miR-217 reversed the malignant biological behavior of ESCC cells induced by pc-circ_100284(P<0.05).Compared with si-NC group,in the si-MAPK1 group,we observed decreased cell invasion and proliferation,and increased apoptosis(P<0.05),but miR-217 inhibitor reversed the effect of si-MAPK1 on the biological behavior of ESCC cells(P<0.05).The targeting relationship of circ_100284 and miR-217,miR-217 and MAPK1 is confirmed.Conclusion circ_100284 promotes ESCC cell invasion by regulating miR-217/MAPK1,inhibits the chemosensitivity of ESCC cells to 5-FU,and acts as a tumor-promoting factor in ESCC.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of anti-cross-reactive carbohydrate determinant IgE antibodies (anti-CCD IgE) on the detection of allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) antibodies, as well as the application value of anti-CCD IgE adsorbents in detecting allergen sIgE. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 2 636 test samples from patients who received treatment in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and tested allergen sIgE using the western blot method from October 2020 to May 2021 were analyzed. In these samples, 709 samples tested postive of allergen sIgE. 46 stochastic venous serum samples that tested positive in both sIgE and anti-CCD IgE and 1 serum sample that tested positive in sIgE but negative in anti-CCD IgE were collected. These samples were processed by anti-CCD IgE adsorbents, followed by allergen sIgE detection. The difference between the two detection results before and after adsorption was analyzed. The allergen test results showed that the positive rate of anti-CCD IgE in samples was 2.6% (69/2 636) during the period of sample collection. After treatment with anti-CCD IgE adsorbents, the top three allergen-sIgE of the positive rate changed from tree combination 2 (willow/poplar/elm), common ragweed and peanut to dust mite combination, cockroach and crab. The positive anti-CCD IgE results of 46 samples all turned negative and the total positive sIgE antibody dropped by 62.8%; the positive rate of sIgE antibodies with the class result ≥2 significantly decreased after treatment with anti-CCD IgE adsorbents, especially the positive rate of common ragweed dropped by 96.2%. The results of positive samples showed that multiple sIgE antibodies declined by different ranges, involving up to 11 antibodies with a maximum decline of 4 classes. Strongly positive sIgE antibodies (the class result ≥4) also had a high conversion rate of negative (25.0%-100%). The positive sIgE antibodies in about 60% of the samples decreased by more than 2, and the sIgE antibodies in 17.4% of the samples turned completely negative. There was no change in the allergen sIgE detection results of the sample with negative anti-CCD IgE after treatment. In conclusion, sIgE antibodies including targeting common ragweed, humulus, tree combination 2 (willow/poplar/elm), etc. are susceptible to false positives caused by anti-CCD IgE. Treatment of samples with anti-CCD IgE adsorbents can significantly reduce the risk of false positives caused by anti-CCD IgE. It is necessary to pretreat samples that were anti-CCD IgE positive with anti-CCD IgE adsorbents, which can make laboratory results more accurate and provide a reference for diagnosis and prevention of allergic diseases.
