By systematically combing ancient and modern literature， this paper examined Tribuli Fructus and Astragali Complanati Semen（ACS） used in the famous classical formulas from the aspects of name， origin， production area， harvesting and processing， clinical efficacy， so as to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing such medicinal materials. The results showed that the names of Tribuli Fructus in the past dynasties were mostly derived from its morphology， and there were nicknames such as Baijili， Cijili and Dujili. The name of ACS in the past dynasties were mostly originated from its production areas， and there were nicknames such as Baijili， Shayuan Jili and Tongjili. Because both of them had the name of Baijili， confusion began to appear in the Song dynasty. In ancient and modern times， the main origin of Tribuli Fructus were Tribulus terrestris， and ancient literature recorded the genuine producing areas of Tribuli Fructus was Dali in Shaanxi and Tianshui in Gansu， but today it is mainly cultivated in Anhui and Shandong. The fruit is the medicinal part， harvested in autumn throughout history. There is no description of the quality of Tribuli Fructus in ancient times， and the plump， firm texture， grayish-white color is the best in modern times. Traditional processing methods for Tribuli Fructus included stir-frying and wine processing， while modern commonly used is purified， fried and salt-processed. The ancient records of Tribuli Fructus were spicy， bitter， and warm in nature， with modern research adding that it is slightly toxic. The main effects of ancient and modern times include treating wind disorders， improving vision， promoting muscle growth， and treating vitiligo. The mainstream base of ACS used throughout history is Astragalus complanatus. Ancient texts indicated ACS primarily originated from Shaanxi province. Today， the finest varieties come from Tongguan and Dali in Shaanxi. The medicinal part is the seed， traditionally harvested in autumn. Modern harvesting occurs in late autumn or early winter， followed by sun-drying. Ancient texts valued seeds with a fragrant aroma as superior， while modern standards prioritize plump， uniform and free of impurities. Traditional processing methods for ACS included frying until blackened and wine-frying， while modern practice commonly employs purification methods. In terms of medicinal properties， the ancient and modern records are sweet and warm in nature. Due to originally classified under Tribuli Fructus， its effects were thus regarded as equivalent to those of Tribuli Fructus， serving as the medicine for treating wind disorders， additional functions included tonifying the kidneys and treating vitiligo. The present record of its efficacy is to tonify the kidney and promote Yang， solidify sperm and reduce urine， nourish the liver and brighten the eye， etc. Based on the textual research results， it is suggested that when developing the famous classical formulas of Tribuli Fructus medicinal materials， we should pay attention to the specific reference object of Baijili， T. terrestris and A. complanatus should be identified and selected， and the processing method should be in accordance with the requirements of the formulas.

Background The serious air pollution of highway toll booths poses a high occupational exposure risk to toll collectors. It is urgent to develop purification methods suitable for airborne particles and microbial pathogens in highway toll booths. Objective To verify the purification effect of low temperature plasma air purifiers on airborne particles and microbes in highway toll booths. Methods Based on controlled-intervention design, we selected three toll booths in an expressway toll station as on-site experimental locations for 6 d (no-intervention period: the low-temperature plasma purifier was turned off in the first three days; intervention period: the purifier was turned on from 9:00 to 17:00 in the following three days). The indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ concentrations were continuously monitored during the study. At 9:00, 12:00, and 17:00 of every day during the experiment, indoor and outdoor air samples were collected to analyze the concentration of airborne culturable colonies with a plankton sampler. Airborne particle samples were collected in the outermost exit continuously from 9:00 to 17:00 every day during the experiment using a medium flow particulate sampler, and the species and relative abundance of fungi and bacteria contained in the samples were analyzed by gene sequencing. Independent-sample t test was used to compare the concentration of indoor PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and culturable colonies between the intervention period and the non-intervention period. α diversity analysis, β diversity analysis, and t test were used to compare the diversity and relative abundance of specific species of bacteria and fungi, as well as typical pathogenic bacteria and fungi in the samples between the non-intervention period and the intervention period to reflect the purification effect of low temperature plasma air purifier on airborne PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and microorganisms. Results During the intervention period, the mean indoor concentrations of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and culturable colonies were lower than those of the no-intervention period (P<0.01 or P<0.001). The ratios of indoor to outdoor concentration (I/O) of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ during the intervention period were significantly lower than those of the no-intervention period (P<0.001), except the I/O of culturable colonies. Compared with the average concentration at 9:00, the average cleaning rates at 12:00 and 17:00 for PM_2.5 were 49.0% and 46.1%, for PM₁₀ were 49.7% and 45.4%, for airborne culturable colonies were 50.8% and 49.9%, respectively. The β diversity analysis showed that there were significant differences in composition at the level of species of bacteria, and at the levels of genus and species of fungi between the intervention and the no-intervention periods. The relative abundances of 10 species of bacteria such as Lactobacillus and 7 species of fungi such as Torula in the intervention period were significantly lower than those in the non-intervention period, but the relative abundances of fungi such as unclassified_f_cladosporiaceae, trichomerium, and cercospora were higher (P<0.05). For typical pathogenic bacteria, the relative abundances of Lactobacillus and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 during the intervention period were 73.5% and 86.9% lower than those in the no-intervention period, and the relative abundance of Talaromyces was 53.5% lower (P<0.05). Conclusion Low temperature plasma air purifier has a good purification effect on indoor PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and culturable colonies in highway toll booths, and likely a limited effect on some fungi.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

Objective:To explore the strategies for reduction of irreducible intertrochanteric fractures according to our self-designed new classifications.Methods:A retrospectively study was conducted to analyze the data of 124 patients with irreducible intertrochanteric fracture who had been admitted to Department of Minimally Invasive Orthopaedics, Zhengzhou Orthopaedics Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. There were 56 males and 68 females with a mean age of (76.8±13.2) years. According to the displacement pattern of the proximal head-neck fragment of the fracture, the irreducible intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were classified into 3 types. In type 1 (rotational type) of 65 cases, there were 24 cases of subtype 1.1 (the lesser trochanter attached to the distal fracture fragment), 8 cases of subtype 1.2 (the lesser trochanter attached to the proximal fracture fragment), and 33 cases of subtype 1.3 (the lesser trochanter floating). In type 2 (locked type) of 18 cases, there were 13 cases of subtype 2.1 (lesser trochanter floating), no case of subtype 2.2 (the lesser trochanter attached to the proximal fracture fragment), and 5 cases of subtype 2.3 (the lesser trochanter attached to the distal fracture fragment). In type 3 (reverse trochanter type) there were 41 cases. Under the guidance of our new classification, the patients were treated by fixation with intramedullary nails after reduction with corresponding techniques (like prying, clamping, pulling, and temporary fixation with Kirschner wires). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction quality and Harris hip score at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:The operation time was (53.0±20.7) min and blood loss (132.1±81.3) mL in this cohort. According to the criteria proposed by Chang and Kim et al., the quality of fracture reduction was evaluated as excellent in 101 cases, as good in 17 cases, as fair in 4 cases, and as poor in 2 cases, resulting in an excellent and good rate of 95.2% (118/124). All the 124 patients were followed up for an average of (12.4±3.7) months. First-stage fracture union was achieved in 120 patients, and fracture union was achieved in 2 patients of type 3 with breakage of the main nail only after replacement of the intramedullary nail. The mean healing time for the 122 patients was (5.1±1.4) months. In addition, hemiarthroplasty was performed in 2 patients of type 1.3 whose femoral head had been cut by a head nail. Postoperatively, urinary tract infection occurred in 5 cases but responded to appropriate symptomatic treatment. The Harris hip score was (94.2±5.4) points at the last follow-up, and 103 cases were excellent, 17 cases good, and 4 cases poor, giving an excellent and good rate of 96.8% (120/124).Conclusion:It is easy to understand and master the new classification of irreducible intertrochanteric fractures based on the displacement of the proximal head and neck bone which can directly and effectively guide the intraoperative reduction, leading to satisfactory reduction and fixation.

Objective:To assess the clinical and imaging features of NUT gene-related sinonasal carcinomas (NUT midline carcinome).Methods:The clinical data and pretreatment imaging findings of 5 cases with pathologically proven NUT sinonasal carcinomas were analyzed retrospectively in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020. Of 5 cases, the tumors affected 4 females and 1 male with an age range of 15 to 48 years (median 19 years). Clinical data of all cases were available before surgery with both CT and MR examination. Tumor location, CT density, boney change, calcification, tumor size, T 1WI, T 2WI and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal intensity, appearance diffusion coefficient (ADC), type of time intensity curve (TIC) of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI were evaluated. Results:All five cases belonged to T4 stage of the clinic TNM system. The locations were nasal cavity ethmoid, sphenoid and maxillary sinus ( n=1), nasal and maxillary sinus ( n=1), nasal cavity and ethmoid sinus ( n=3). Iso-attenuated in 3 cases, heterogeneous with local necrosis in 2 cases, and heterogeneous with calcification in 3 cases on CT imaging. Bone erosion was found in 4 cases, and bone erosion with destruction in 1 case. The tumor sizes ranged from 4.2 to 4.9 cm (median 4.5 cm) on MR axial imaging. On T 1WI, 5 cases showed isointense compared with adjacent temporal muscles, with focal hypointense in 2 cases. On T 2WI, the tumor was graded as isointense in 3 cases, and hyperintense in 2 cases. Heterogeneous enhancement in all cases with mild in 3 cases, and moderate in 2 cases on postcontrast MR imaging. On DCE-MRI of 5 cases, there were 3 cases of type Ⅲ (washout-shaped curves), and 2 cases of type Ⅱ of the TIC (plateau-shaped curves). The range of ADC values was from 0.63×10 -3 to 1.17×10 -3 mm 2/s, and median ADC value was 0.84×10 -3 mm 2/s, of 5 cases with varying degrees of high signal on DWI. The Ki-67 index ranged from 30% to 80% of the tumor. An immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells of 5 cases were all positive for both NUT and INI-1 genes. One case was performed with biopsy and followed by chemotherapy, four cases were performed with surgery, combined with the following chemotherapy, and one also was implemented with radiation therapy. The follow-up time was 7-16 months. Five cases were all alive during the follow-up. Conclusions:The NUT midline sinonasal tract carcinoma is a rare, gene-related solid malignant tumor. The tumor is more commonly seen in young patients, mostly centered in the nasal and ethmoid region with invasive growth, more calcification on CT, and heterogeneous enhancement on MRI. These findings are some characteristics of the tumor.

Objective:To investigate the behavioral problems of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and to explore the influencing factors, thus providing evidence for their prevention and interventions.Methods:A case-control study was carried out.A total of 25 children with CAH who were aged 4-16 and regularly followed up in the Outpatient Department of the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from June 1, 2017 to March 31, 2019 were enrolled in the study group, and 50 age-and gender-matched healthy children in Hunan Province were selected as the healthy control group.The parents of the selected subjects were investigated with the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to evaluate children′s behavior problems.SPSS 22.0 software was applied to statistical analysis.Results:(1) The scores of externalizing behaviors, aggressive factors and behavior problems in 4-to 5-year-old male children in the CAH group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group [(12.440±8.353) scores vs.(5.060±5.230) scores, (9.670±6.481) scores vs.(4.110±4.157) scores, (22.110±13.062) scores vs.(12.890±9.405) scores] ( t=2.829, 2.711, 2.109, respectively, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of other behavior problems and influencing factors between the CAH group and the healthy control group (all P>0.05). (2) The influencing factor of behavioral problems was progesterone ( β=0.567). Testoste-rone not only was the influencing factor of externalizing and internalizing behaviors ( β=0.582, 0.497, respectively), but also affected the behavior of physical complaints, violation of discipline and social withdrawal ( β=0.735, 0.531 and 0.492, respectively). The factor influencing the schizoid behavior was the initial treatment age ( β=0.402). Conclusions:Four- to 5-year-old male children with CAH have behavioral problems, among which aggression and externalizing behaviors are more common.The increase of testosterone may cause the problems of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in children with CAH, and has a great impact on physical complaints, social withdrawal, and discipline violation.The increase of progesterone may lead to the behavior problems of the children.The older the initial treatment age, the more serious the schizoid behavior problem may be.

Objective To understand the differences in engulfing ability and phagolysosome for-mation between mononuclear-macrophages and neutrophils during Leptospira interrogans infection. Methods Human THP-1 monocytes and HL-60 cells were pretreated with PMA ( phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate) and ATRA ( all-trans retinoic acid) to differentiate them into mononuclear-macrophages and neutrophils, respec-tively. The phagocytosis of Leptospira interrogans in THP-1-PMA mononuclear-macrophages and HL-60-AT-RA neutrophils was detected by confocal microscopy. The morphology of intracellular Leptospira was deter-mined by transmission electron microscopy. The viability of phagocytized Leptospira and the percentages of dead Leptospira were analyzed by confocal microscopy and spectrofluorimetry, respectively. Confocal micros-copy was used to measure the formation of phagolysosomes in different phagocytes. Results Both THP-1-PMA mononuclear-macrophages and HL-60-ATRA neutrophils could phagocytize Leptospira interrogans, but the phagocytic ability of the former was notably stronger than that of the latter (P<0. 05). Intracellular Lep-tospira were surrounded by phagocytic vesicles in both types of phagocytes. THP-1-PMA mononuclear-mac-rophages were better than HL-60-ATRA neutrophils in killing intracellular Leptospira (P<0. 05). More phagolysosomes were formed in THP-1-PMA mononuclear-macrophages than in HL-60-ATRA neutrophils ( P<0. 05). Conclusions Human mononuclear-macrophages but not neutrophils act as major phagocytes that play an important role in phagocytizing and killing Leptospira during infection. Less fusion of the phagosomes with lysosomes may be responsible for the lower Leptospira-killing ability of neutrophils.

Objective To study the killing effect of γδT cells on different tumor cells by inducing and expanding γδT cells in vitro.Methods Collected the peripheral venous blood of 20 healthy volunteers recruited at Xinqiao Hospital of Third Military Medical University from January to March 2018.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were induced and expanded using zoledronic acid combined with interleukin-2 (IL-2) to obtain γδT cells.The cell purity was detected on day 0,7,10,14 and 16 using flow cytometry.The killing activity was detected by CCK-8 kit.Cells cultured on the 14th day were used as effector cells,and breast cancer cell BCap-37 and liver cancer cell Bel-7402 were used as target cells,and the cell killing activity was detected at the effective target ratio (E ∶ T) of 5 ∶ 1,10 ∶ 1 and 20 ∶ 1 respectively.Results The purity of γδT cells were respectively (3.35 ± 1.32) ％,(50.76 ± 5.76) ％,(80.43 ± 4.53) ％,(90.56 ± 3.34) ％,(89.54 ± 4.42) ％ on day 0,7,10,14,16,with significant difference (F =18.431,P =0.012).The efficiency of γδT cells killing BCap-37 tumor cells were (31.3 ± 2.0) ％ (E ∶ T =5 ∶ 1),(48.7 ± 1.6) ％(E ∶T=10∶1),(71.3 ±2.4)％ (E ∶T=20 ∶ 1) respectively,with significant difference (F=16.724,P =0.016),further comparison between each two groups:10 ∶ 1 vs.5 ∶ 1 (P =0.013),20 ∶ 1 vs.5 ∶ 1 (P =0.017),20∶1 vs.10 ∶1 (P =0.011).The killing rate increased with the increase of target ratio.The efficiency of γδT cells killing Bel-7402 tumor cells were (34.5 ± 2.0) ％ (E ∶ T =5 ∶ 1),(52.4 ± 1.9) ％(E ∶ T =10 ∶ 1),(74.5 ± 1.6) ％ (E ∶ T =20 ∶ 1) respectively,with significant difference (F =18.253,P=0.013),further comparison between each two groups:10 ∶ 1 vs.5 ∶ 1 (P=0.015),20 ∶ 1 vs.5 ∶ 1 (P=0.012),20 ∶ 1 vs.10 ∶ 1 (P =0.015).The killing rate increased with the increase of target ratio.Conclusion We can obtain high purity γδT cells using zoledronic acid combined with IL-2 induced PBMCs,and the amplified γδT cells have significant killing effect on BCap-37 and Bel-7402 tumor cells.
