Diabetes is a common chronic non-infectious disease. Diabetic patients not only suffer from metabolic disorders, but are also prone to immune deficiencies and are at a higher risk of being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). Many studies at home and abroad have shown that the HPV infection rate of patients with diabetes is higher than that of non-diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes can benefit from HPV vaccination, and the tolerance is good. HPV vaccination is recommended for diabetic patients. This article reviews the research on diabetes, HPV infection, and HPV vaccine, which will provide references for HPV vaccination in diabetic patients.

BACKGROUND:The preoperative planning of traditional X-ray films is often inaccurate,which can lead to some intraoperative and postoperative complications,increase the operation time and intraoperative blood loss,and to some extent affect the surgical outcome of total hip arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the accuracy and effectiveness of artificial intelligence preoperative planning in total hip arthroplasty. METHODS:Sixty patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty on the affected side were selected.30 of them used artificial intelligence 3D preoperative planning(trial group)and 30 used conventional X-ray film 2D preoperative planning(control group),and there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender,age,condition and other general data(P>0.05).The actual intraoperative prosthesis placement and preoperative planning prosthesis matching,intraoperative operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bilateral femoral eccentric distance difference,bilateral joint eccentric distance difference and bilateral lower limb length difference,and Harris score at 3 months after operation were compared between the two groups,and the accuracy and application effect of the two preoperative plans were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Patients in both groups were followed up for 4-6 months postoperatively.One patient in the control group had a posterior dislocation of the prosthesis at 5 days postoperatively,which recovered after performing manual repositioning without re-dislodgement.The rest of the patients did not have postoperative complications or postoperative death.(2)Complete matching rate of the prosthesis on the acetabular side and femoral side was significantly better in the trial group than that in the control group(P<0.05).(3)Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in the trial group than those in the control group(P<0.05).(4)The difference in bilateral lower limb length between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the difference in bilateral femoral eccentric distance and bilateral joint eccentric distance was not statistically significant(P>0.05).(5)Harris score of patients in the trial group was significantly higher than that in the control group 3 months after operation(P<0.05).(6)These results confirm that compared with traditional film planning,artificial intelligence preoperative planning can predict the prosthesis type more accurately,shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative blood loss,diminish the occurrence of postoperative bilateral lower limb inequality,and accelerate postoperative recovery.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for pharmaceutical care in patients with hemorrhagic transformation after cerebral infarction complicated with atrial fibrillation. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment practice of a patient with hemorrhagic transformation after cerebral infarction complicated with atrial fibrillation. Because the patient had a hemorrhagic transformation after cerebral infarction after stent implantation and arterial thrombolysis, the clinical pharmacists recommended stopping antiplatelet drugs and giving plasma and cold precipitation; because D-dimer was significantly elevated, the clinical pharmacists recommended anticoagulant therapy with low-molecular heparin. Due to the patient’s recurrence of hemorrhagic transformation after cerebral infarction, the clinical pharmacists recommended discontinuing rivaroxaban and administering human prothrombin complex concentrate. RESULTS The physician adopted the clinical pharmacists’ recommendation. After treatment, the patient’s condition tended to improve steadily and was allowed to be discharged with medication. CONCLUSIONS The clinical pharmacists assessed the individualized risk and optimized the patient’s medication regimen by suggesting discontinuation of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs, carrying out pharmaceutical care such as coagulation index monitoring, determining the time and indications for restarting anticoagulation, and pharmaceutical monitoring, to ensure the safety and efficacy of the patient’s medication.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1(PDK1) on the purkinje cells(PCs) in aging mice.
Methods:
The footprint test, elevated beam-walk test and rotarod test were used to measure the gait traits, motor balance and motor coordination of mice. Immunoflourescence was used to detect the structure of the cerebellum and the morphology of cells in the cerebellum. The expression level of PDK1, protein kinase C gamma(PKCγ) and protein kinase B(also known as AKT) and the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6(rpS6) in the cerebellum were detected by Western blot.
Results:
The mice showed motor defects in the overlap between forelimb and hindlimb, motor balance and motor coordination ability in an age-dependent manner. Furthermore, the cerebellum and the soma size of the PCs decreased in an age-dependent manner. However, the density of the PCs was not affected by age. Additionally, the expression level of the PDK1, PKCγ, AKT and the phosphorylation of rpS6 in the cerebellum were reduced with age.
Conclusion
The cerebellar size and the cell soma size of PCs decrease in the old mice. These effects may contribute to the reduction of the expression of PKCγ and AKT and the phosphorylation of rpS6 in the old mice, ultimately affecting the cerebellar motor coordination.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of neferine(Nef) in promoting vascular regeneration against cerebral ischemia through modulation of mitochondrial calcium uniporter(MCU) ion channel. MethodTaking the area of subintestinal vessels in microvascular deficiency zebrafish as an index, the vascular regenerative efficacy of Nef was evaluated, and the median effective concentration(EC50) was calculated. Rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, a positive drug group(butylphthalide, 6 mg·kg-1), and Nef low, medium, and high dose groups(0.125, 0.625, 3.125 μg·kg-1). Except for the sham operation group, the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model was established in other groups. After modeling, the groups were administered the corresponding dose of drugs by gavage, while the sham operation and model groups received equal volumes of saline, once a day for 7 consecutive days. Neurobehavioral scores were assessed for each group of rats, and the infarct rate of ischemic brain tissue was calculated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining. The regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) of each group was measured using a speckle contrast imaging. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were conducted to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(CD31), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) proteins in each group. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were divided into the normal group, model group, positive drug group(astragaloside Ⅳ, 10 μmol·L-1), and Nef group (32 nmol·L-1). In the verification of mitochondrial protection of Nef and its mechanism in promoting vascular regeneration, the spermine(MCU agonist) and Nef+spermine group were added. HUVECs model of oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD) was established in all groups except the normal group, the cell viability was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, and cell migration ability was evaluated through scratch and tube formation assays. Fluorescent probes(Rhod-2 AM, Fluo-3 AM, JC-1, Calcein AM) and a cellular energy metabolism analyzer were used to analyze the mitochondrial protective effects of Nef. Molecular docking was performed to predict the binding ability of Nef with MCU and HIF-1α, and Western blot was used to detect the effects of Nef on the protein expressions of MCU, B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein(Bax), Caspase-3 and HIF-1α in the OGD model HUVECs. ResultThe results of vascular regeneration in microvascular deficiency zebrafish showed that compared to the normal group, the area of subintestinal vessels in the model group significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared to the model group, different concentrations of Nef could significantly increase the area of subintestinal vessels(P<0.01), with the maximum tolerated concentration of 10.24 μmol·L-1 and the EC50 of 0.23 μmol·L-1. Anti-cerebral ischemia results on MCAO rats showed that compared to the sham operation group, the model group had a significant decrease in rCBF and a significant increase in infarct rate, while CD31 expression significantly decreased(P<0.01), and VEGF and HIF-1α protein expressions significantly increased(P<0.05). Compared to the model group, the treated groups showed significant increases in rCBF, significant reductions in infarct volume, and significant increases in CD31, VEGF, and HIF-1α protein expression(P<0.01). Cell experiment results showed that compared to the normal group, the model group had decreased cell viability and migration ability, increased intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels, reduced mitochondrial permeability transition pore(MPTP) opening, and decreased mitochondrial energy metabolism capability, with increased expressions of MCU, Bax, Caspase-3 and HIF-1α proteins(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared to the model group, the Nef group showed increased cell viability and migration ability, decreased intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels, increased MPTP opening, enhanced mitochondrial energy metabolism capability, decreased expressions of MCU, Bax and Caspase-3 proteins, and increased HIF-1α protein expression(P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionNef can stabilize mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibit mitochondrial apoptosis. By down-regulating the expression of MCU, it suppresses the activation of intracellular Bax and Caspase-3 while activating the HIF-1α signaling pathway, enhancing the expression of VEGF and CD31, thereby promoting vascular regeneration to treat ischemic brain injury.
