Based on the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this paper believes that"Gu"in"You Gu Wu Yun"is extended to"state"from the perspective of"TCM state".In order to avoid the adverse reactions of TCM,the macro,meso,and micro three views should be used together,and macro,meso,and micro parameters should be integrated.We should also carefully identify the physiological characteristics,pathological characteristics,constitution,syndrome,and disease of human body by combining qualitative and quantitative method,highlighting the relationship between the prescription and the"state".The correspondence between prescription and the"state"will reduce the risk of adverse reactions of TCM.In this paper,we hope to focus on the guiding role of the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in TCM research,to give full play to the characteristics and advantages of TCM,and to dialectically treat the role of TCM.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM).Methods:Data of 40 pediatric patients under 14 with PBM diagnosed and treated by ERCP at Department of Gastroenterology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from November 2012 to September 2022 were collected. PBM types, ERCP-related diagnosis and treatment, adverse events and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Nineteen cases were P-B type (joining of common bile duct with pancreatic duct), 17 were B-P type (joining of pancreatic duct with common bile duct), and 4 were complex type. Forty children with PBM underwent 50 ERCP-related operations, among which 48 procedures succeeded. One case failed during cannulation of ERCP, replaced by rendezvous-assisted endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (RV-ERP) afterwards. There were no serious postoperative adverse events such as bleeding, perforation or death. Thirty-four patients (85%) were followed up successfully, among which 14 underwent further surgery and 20 continued conservative treatment.Conclusion:ERCP is the golden standard to diagnose pediatric PBM, and it is also safe and effective treatment for PBM.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the interaction between Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)pathway in mediating sunitinib-resistance in renal cancer cells.Methods The sunitinib-resistant kidney cancer cell lines were constructed by stepwise increase in drug concentrations method with sunitinib,and were divided into resistance group,lv-NC group and lv-Twist group,and human kidney cancer cell lines were selected as normal group.The normal and drug-resistant groups were treated with conventional culture;the lv-NC group was treated with 40 μL of lv-NC lentivirus supernatant containing 2.25 × 108 TU·mL-1 for 72 h,and the lv-Twist group was treated with 50 μL of Twist lentivirus supernatant containing 1.64 × 108 TU·mL-1 for 72 h.The apoptosis ability was detected by flow cytometry;the cell migration ability was detected by cell scratch assay;the cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell assay;and the protein expression levels of Wnt1,β-catenin and Twist were detected by Western blotting assay.Results The apoptosis rates of control,resistant,lv-NC and lv-Twist groups were(17.60±0.59)％,(8.61±0.34)％,(8.60±0.40)％and(3.10±0.34)％;the migration rates were(14.10±0.12)％,(27.64±0.41)％,(14.24±0.45)％and(32.74±2.53)％;the number of invading cells was 27.33±1.15,53.33±1.53,46.00±2.65 and 99.33±2.52;the relative expression levels of Wnt1 protein were 0.10±0.01,0.96±0.06,0.39±0.03 and 3.09±0.31;the relative expression levels of β-catenin protein were 0.39±0.01,1.48±0.16,0.81±0.05 and 1.24±0.14;the relative expression levels of Twist protein were 0.10±0.02,0.91±0.04,0.39±0.03 and 3.09±0.31,respectively.The differences of above indexes were statistically significant between the resistant group and the normal group,and between the lv-Twist group and the lv-NC group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Twist(EMT related protein)mediates sunitinib resistance in renal cell carcinoma by interacting with Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis(PM),and drug sensitivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP)isolates in Chinese children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information,laboratory data,and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.Results Among the 160 children with PM,there were 103 males and 57 females.The age ranged from 15 days to 15 years,with 109 cases(68.1% )aged 3 months to under 3 years.SP strains were isolated from 95 cases(59.4% )in cerebrospinal fluid cultures and from 57 cases(35.6% )in blood cultures.The positive rates of SP detection by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing and cerebrospinal fluid SP antigen testing were 40% (35/87)and 27% (21/78),respectively.Fifty-five cases(34.4% )had one or more risk factors for purulent meningitis,113 cases(70.6% )had one or more extra-cranial infectious foci,and 18 cases(11.3% )had underlying diseases.The most common clinical symptoms were fever(147 cases,91.9% ),followed by lethargy(98 cases,61.3% )and vomiting(61 cases,38.1% ).Sixty-nine cases(43.1% )experienced intracranial complications during hospitalization,with subdural effusion and/or empyema being the most common complication[43 cases(26.9% )],followed by hydrocephalus in 24 cases(15.0% ),brain abscess in 23 cases(14.4% ),and cerebral hemorrhage in 8 cases(5.0% ).Subdural effusion and/or empyema and hydrocephalus mainly occurred in children under 1 year old,with rates of 91% (39/43)and 83% (20/24),respectively.SP strains exhibited complete sensitivity to vancomycin(100% ,75/75),linezolid(100% ,56/56),and meropenem(100% ,6/6).High sensitivity rates were also observed for levofloxacin(81% ,22/27),moxifloxacin(82% ,14/17),rifampicin(96% ,25/26),and chloramphenicol(91% ,21/23).However,low sensitivity rates were found for penicillin(16% ,11/68)and clindamycin(6% ,1/17),and SP strains were completely resistant to erythromycin(100% ,31/31).The rates of discharge with cure and improvement were 22.5% (36/160)and 66.2% (106/160),respectively,while 18 cases(11.3% )had adverse outcomes.Conclusions Pediatric PM is more common in children aged 3 months to under 3 years.Intracranial complications are more frequently observed in children under 1 year old.Fever is the most common clinical manifestation of PM,and subdural effusion/emphysema and hydrocephalus are the most frequent complications.Non-culture detection methods for cerebrospinal fluid can improve pathogen detection rates.Adverse outcomes can be noted in more than 10% of PM cases.SP strains are high sensitivity to vancomycin,linezolid,meropenem,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):131-138]

Objective To explore the optimal morning discharge time and pipeline disinfection frequency of the fi-nal rinse water from the endoscopy center according to the microbial culture results.Methods Different morning discharge timing and number of bacterial colonies in the pipeline for the final rinse water from the endoscopy center of a hospital in Jiangsu Province were monitored.Microbial detection was conducted on water samples collected from the two final rinse water sampling sites in the endoscopy room after 0,1,3,5,and 7 minutes of discharge,respec-tively(100 mL each,continuously monitored for 35 days,with 70 samples at each time point)to explore the optimal discharge timing.The optimal disinfection frequency of pipelines for purified water was explored according to the determined optimal morning discharge timing.Two samples were taken daily from 2 sampling sites after pipeline disinfection and continued for 5 weeks,resulting in 70 samples in total.Results Sampling and monitoring of the fi-nal rinse water at different morning discharge time points showed that the median numbers of bacterial colonies at 0,1,3,5,and 7 minutes were 745.00(373.00,1 452.50),150.00(96.75,235.75),44.00(38.00,48.00),12.00(5.00,18.00),and 6.00(4.00,9.00)CFU/100 mL,respectively.Except the difference between the 5 minute group and the 7 minute group(P＞0.05),differences among all the other groups were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The median of the 0,1,3,and 5 minute groups was＞10 CFU/100 mL,while the median of the 7 mi-nute group was＜10 CFU/100 mL,within the qualified range.The discharge time was therefore determined to be 7 minutes.The average numbers of bacterial colonies from the final rinse water samples taken at different time points after pipeline disinfection(1,2,3,4,and 5 weeks after disinfection)were(4.21±0.86),(4.43±0.71),(6.00±0.56),(6.43±0.45),and(13.57±1.03)CFU/100 mL,respectively.The qualification rates of pipeline in terms of bacterial colony were 100％,100％,100％,100％,and 28.57％,respectively.The differences of average num-bers of bacterial colonies from the final rinse water samples taken at different time points after pipeline disinfection were statistically significant(P＜0.001).The average number of bacterial colonies 5 weeks after pipeline disinfec-tion was different from those after 1,2,3,and 4 weeks,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05),while no statistically significant differences among the other groups were observed(all P＞0.05).The optimal disin-fection frequency for the purified water pipeline was once every 4 weeks.Conclusion The final rinse water remai-ning in the terminal of pipeline is contaminated to a certain degree.It is recommended to discharge water in the morning for 7 minutes before using it,and disinfect the purified water pipeline every 4 weeks.

Objective To explore the association between violent behaviors and emotions in individuals with mental disorders,to evaluate the application value of facial expression analysis technology in violence risk assessment of individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings,and to provide a reference for violence risk assessment.Methods Thirty-nine male individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings were selected,the participant risk of violence,cognitive function,psychiatric symptoms and se-verity were assessed using the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS),the Historical,Clinical,Risk Management-Chinese version(HCR-CV),the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS).An emotional arousal was performed on the participants and the intensity of their emotions and facial expression action units was recorded before,during and after the arousal.One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in the intensity of emotions and facial expression action units before,during and after the arousal.Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlations between the intensity of the seven basic emo-tional facial expressions and the scores of the assessment scales.Results The intensity difference of sadness,surprise and fear in different time periods was statistically significant (P<0.05).The intensity of the left medial eyebrow lift action unit was found significantly different before and after the emo-tional arousal (P<0.05).The intensity of anger was positively correlated with the Modified Overt Ag-gression Scale score throughout the experiment (P<0.05).Conclusion Eye action units such as eye-brow lifting,eyelid tightening and upper eyelid lifting can be used as effective action units to identify sadness,anger and other negative emotions associated with violent behaviors.Facial expression analysis technology can be used as an auxiliary tool to assess the potential risk of violence in individuals with mental disorders in supervised settings.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of fourteen bone-setting manipulations and small splint fixation combined with No.8 Orthopedics Prescription(mainly composed of Rehmanniae Radix,Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Persicae Semen,Caulis Akebiae,Carthami Flos,Corydalis Rhizoma,and Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma)on distal radius fracture.Methods A retrospective study was carried out in the analysis of the clinical data of 124 patients with distal radius fractures treated by fourteen bone-setting manipulations and small splint fixation in the Department of Orthopedics,Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2021 to September 2023.The patients were divided into an observation group(63 cases)and a control group(61 cases)depending on the medication of No.8 Orthopedics Prescription or not.The control group was treated with fourteen bone-setting manipulations and small splint fixation,while the observation group was treated with fourteen bone-setting manipulations and small splint fixation combined with No.8 Orthopedics Prescription.The two groups were treated for s one month and then were followed up for more than six months.The changes in the range of motion(ROM)of wrist pronation and supination and palmar flexion in the two groups were observed before treatment and three months after treatment.The time for starting wrist function exercise,time for subsiding swelling of the affected limb and fracture healing time were compared between the two groups.After six months of treatment,the wrist function improvement effect of the two groups was evaluated.Results(1)After treatment,the time for starting wrist joint functional exercise,time for subsiding swelling of the affected limb and the time for fracture healing in the observation group were significantly shortened compared with those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P＜0.01).(2)After three months of treatment,the ROM of wrist pronation and supination and palmar flexion in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement of ROM of wrist pronation and supination and palmar flexion in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.01).(3)After six months of treatment,the evaluation of the wrist joint function of the two groups showed that the excellent and good rate of the observation group was 55.56％(35/63),and that of the control group was 45.90％(28/61).There was no significant difference in the improvement of wrist function between the two groups(Z=1.075,P=0.282).Conclusion Both methods can achieve satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of distal radius fracture,and the wrist function of the patients has been effectively restored.The treatment of fourteen bone-setting manipulations and small splint fixation combined with No.8 Orthopedics Prescription can significantly shorten the time for subsiding swelling of the affected limb,promote fracture healing and bone regeneration,improve wrist function,and relieve the pain of patients.

Objective To compare the outcomes of transplant kidneys and patient survival between simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation(SPKT)recipients and deceased donor kidney transplant(DDKT)recipients in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated with end-stage renal disease(ESRD),and to analyze the risk factors affecting patient survival post-SPKT.Methods Clinical and prognostic data of patients who underwent kidney transplantation from January 27,2003,to January 1,2021,were retrieved from the United Network for Organ Sharing(UNOS)database.A total of 50 230 cases were selected based on inclusion criteria,with 48 669 cases in DDKT group and 1561 cases in SPKT group.Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed to compare transplant kidney and patient survival between the two groups,and propensity score matching(PSM)was utilized to balance confounding factors between the groups.Cox regression model was used to analyze independent risk factors affecting patient survival post-SPKT.Results Compared with DDKT group,recipients in SPKT group had a younger median age(P<0.001),a higher proportion of males(P<0.001),lower BMI(P<0.001),shorter dialysis and transplant waiting times(P<0.001),a higher percentage of private medical insurance(P<0.001),a lower proportion of previous transplants(P<0.001),a younger age at diabetes diagnosis(P<0.001),and a lower incidence of peripheral vascular disease(P=0.033).Compared with DDKT group,the donors in SPKT group had a younger median age(P<0.001),a higher proportion of males(P<0.001),lower BMI(P<0.001),and a lower prevalence of hypertension and diabetes history(P<0.001).In terms of transplant-related factors,the SPKT group had a shorter donor kidney cold ischemia time(P<0.001),a higher degree of HLA mismatch(P<0.001),and a lower Kidney Donor Profile Index(KDPI)(P<0.001)when compared with DDKT group.The SPKT group had lower serum creatinine levels at discharge(P<0.001),lower rates of postoperative delayed graft function(DGF)and acute rejection(AR)(P<0.001),but longer hospital stays(P<0.001)when compared with DDKT group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis curves,both original and after propensity score matching(PSM),consistently showed significantly higher transplant kidney and patient survival rates in SPKT group compared with DDKT group(P<0.001).Cox regression model analysis indicated that recipient age,recipient race,donor age,and donor kidney cold ischemia time were independent risk factors influencing patient survival post-SPKT.Conclusions For ESRD patients with T2DM,SPKT offers improved long-term graft and patient survival rates compared with DDKT.Recipient age,recipient ethnicity,donor age,and cold ischemia time for the donor's kidney are independent risk factors affecting post-SPKT patient survival.

Objective To investigate the biocompatibility of new gadolinium-doped hydroxyapatite(Gd-HA)composite scaffolds and to explore their feasibility as cell culture materials and bone tissue engineering scaffolds.Methods The Gd-HA composite scaffolds were chemically synthesized and placed under the electron microscope for observation.The experiment was divided into three groups,the HA group,the Gd-HA group,and the control group.Rabbit adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ADSCs)were isolated,cultured and characterized,and the Gd-HA composite scaffold extract was added to the ADSCs in vitro culture system.Cell survival and cytotoxicity were assessed by live-dead cell staining,cell proliferation ability within the scaffolds was assessed by CCK-8 assay,and the scaffolds were assessed by alizarin red staining for cell osteogenic differentiation.The toxic reactions of the scaffold materials were observed by skin irritation test,systemic acute toxicity test and muscle tissue and liver and kidney pathology at the site of intramuscular implantation of the scaffolds.Results The Gd-HA composite scaffold showed irregular void structure under electron microscope.Cell morphology observation showed that ADSCs grew adherently to the wall and were long shuttle-shaped.The positivity rate of CD29 was 96.94％,CD44 was 97.90％,CD45 was 0.10％,and CD34 was 0.46％,which was obtained using flow cytometry.Live-dead cell staining showed that the amount of live cells in the Gd-HA group was significantly better than that in the hydroxyapatite(HA)group after 5 days of co-culture.CCK-8 assay showed no significant difference in cell proliferation within 0-3 days.After 3 days,the Gd-HA group was significantly better than the HA group and the control group(P＜0.05).Calcium nodule deposition after alizarin red staining was significantly better in the Gd-HA group than in the HA and control groups,showing a deeper red color.No skin irritation was observed in gross and skin tissue HE observations after the contact of the extract with the skin.The general condition of the experimental groups was good after the infusion of the extract into the abdominal cavity,and the body mass tended to increase steadily(P＞0.05).HE staining showed that inflammatory reaction at the interface between the material and muscle tissue of the stent intramuscular implantation site in Gd-HA group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the inflammatory cell infiltration was gradually reduced with the prolongation of implantation time.At the 8th weeks the morphology of the tissue around the material was close to normal muscle tissue,and no pathological changes were observed in the HE staining of liver and kidney at the 12th week.Conclusion Gd-HA composite scaffolds exhibit good biocompatibility and facilitate cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation,and they are expected to serve as good carriers for stem cell transplantation in tissue engineering.
