Hepatolenticular degeneration， also known as Wilson disease （WD）， is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene， leading to copper metabolism disorders. Gene mutations result in impaired synthesis of copper-binding protein， and abnormal excretion of copper through bile leads to pathological deposition of copper in various organs， ultimately causing multi-organ damage. The insidious onset and low specificity of symptoms make it difficult to diagnose this disease. On the basis of existing studies and the theory of latent toxin， this paper proposes that latent toxin in kidney collaterals is the main pathogenesis of renal injury in WD. It is pointed out that health Qi deficiency and latent pathogen are the premises for the occurrence of this disease， and the transformation of latent pathogen into toxin is the ley pathological process. Toxin damaging kidney collaterals is the ultimate result. According to the pathogenesis， this paper proposes the treatment principle of reinforcing healthy Qi and resolving toxin and treatment based on syndrome differentiation. This review provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of renal injury in WD with traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Gandouling decoction combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation （NMES） in the treatment of dysphagia in Wilson disease （WD） with combined phlegm and stasis. MethodsA total of 80 WD patients with dysphagia due to combined phlegm and stasis treated in the Department of Encephalopathy， the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine were randomized into a control group and an observation group， with 40 patients in each group. In addition， 40 healthy volunteers were recruited as the normal group. The control group was treated with basic copper drainage combined with NMES. The observation group was treated with Gandouling Decoction on the basis of the therapy in the control group. Each course of treatment lasted for 8 days， and the patients were treated for a total of 4 courses. All subjects underwent video fluoroscopic swallowing study （VFSS） before and after treatment. During the examination， contrast agents with 4 different characters were used for the swallowing action， and the passing time was recorded. The TCM syndrome score， water swallow test score， standard swallowing assessment （SSA） score， and 24-h urinary copper level before and after treatment were analyzed. ResultsWhen performing VFSS， the passing time of contrast agents of different characters in the oral stage was longer in the WD group than in the normal group （P<0.01）， while it had no significant difference in the pharyngeal stage. After treatment， the passing time in the oral stage shortened in the control and observation groups （P<0.01）， and the observation group outperformed the control group （P<0.01）. After treatment， both the control and observation groups showed declines in TCM syndrome score and SSA score （P<0.01） and an increase in water swallow test score （P<0.01）， and the changes were more obvious in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.01）. In addition， the treatment in the control and observation groups elevated the 24-h urinary copper level （P<0.01）， and the elevation in the observation group was more obvious than that in the control group （P<0.01）. Neither group showed obvious adverse reaction. ConclusionGandouling decoction combined with NMES can significantly ameliorate dysphagia in WD patients with the syndrome of combined phlegm and stasis regarding the TCM syndrome score， water swallow test score， and SSA score， demonstrating definite clinical efficacy and high safety.

Elemental imaging analysis based on laser induced-breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS)can provide significant reference value for oil and gas exploration activities.Improving the scanning speed and spatial resolution of LIBS elemental imaging analysis instruments contributes to enhancing the efficiency of mineral surface elemental analysis,which is crucial for achieving in-situ,real-time,and rapid LIBS analysis.In this study,a high-speed scanning LIBS elemental imaging analysis instrument was developed based on a scanning mirror device,achieving a scanning speed of 100 Hz and a spatial resolution of 50 μm.The stability of spectral data collected by this instrument was validated using aluminum alloy standard samples with uniform elemental distribution.The experimental results showed that the relative standard deviations(RSD)of the spectral data collected at different locations were 2.76％,2.79％,2.35％and 2.55％,respectively,demonstrating that the instrument's performance met analysis requirements.Analysis of spectral acquisition channels led to the selection of the 337-595 nm spectral range.Imaging analysis of major elements on the surface of meteorite mineral samples with complex matrices was conducted using this instrument,coupled with a multi-element imaging algorithm enabling visualization analysis of four major elements on the same image.The results revealed a higher level of detail and complexity in element distribution.The study demonstrated that this instrument,combined with multi-element imaging analysis algorithms,could provide crucial technical support for rapid imaging of element distribution in minerals at a microscopic scale during geological research.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin in pa-tients with acute severe viral myocarditis(ASVMC).Methods:Clinical data of 92 ASVMC patients treated in our hospital from August 2018 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected,and divided into dexamethasone group(n=46)and combined treatment group(n=46,dexamethasone combined with ulinastatin)according to different treatment program.Each group received corresponding medication based on routine therapy for four weeks.Thera-peutic effect,levels of myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes[cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ),creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)]and related indexes of cardiomyocyte apoptosis[soluble factor-related apoptosis(sFas),soluble factor-related apoptosis ligand(sFasL)]before and after treatment,and inci-dence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:The total effective rate(91.30％vs.73.91％)of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of dexamethasone group(P=0.028).Compared with dexamethasone group,there were significant reductions in serum levels of cTnⅠ[(4.38±1.02)ng/ml vs.(1.76±0.24)ng/ml],CK-MB[(29.85±5.30)U/L vs.(20.26±4.18)U/L],LDH[(202.84±16.70)U/L vs.(184.21±12.63)U/L],sFas[(2.82±0.37)ng/L vs.(2.39±0.24)ng/L]and sFasL[(0.16±0.04)ng/L vs.(0.08±0.02)ng/L]in combined treatment group after 4-week treatment(P＜0.001 all).There was no sig-nificant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions during treatment between two groups(P=0.711).Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with dexamethasone can further inhibit myocardial cell apoptosis,and promote the improvement of myocardial function with significant therapeutic effect in patients with acute severe viral myocarditis and it's safe.

This study investigated the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi,Anaplasma phagocy tophilum,Rickettsia typhi,Orientia tsutsugamushi,Leptospira interrogans,Francisella tularensis,and Babesia spp.in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region,to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of local zoonotic diseases.Small mammals were cap-tured with snap traps at six sampling sites in the Qinghai plateau region.Liver,spleen,and kidney tissues were collected for detection of six bacterial pathogens with real-time PCR.Conventional PCR(cPCR)was used for Babesia detection,and the positive PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.The differences in pathogen detection rates among species and habitats were analyzed with x2 test or Fisher's exact test.In to-tal,235 small mammals from 15 species were captured.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were detected in 11 spe-cies of small mammals,whereas A.phagocytophilum,R.typhi,O.tsutsugamushi,and F.tularensis were not detected.B.burgdorferi was detected in 41 small mammals from nine species(Cricetulus longicaudatus,Apodemus peninsulae,Ochotona curzoniae,Mus m usc ulus,Meriones meridians,Microtus arvalis,Cricetidae,Ochotona cansus,and Allactaga sibirica),with an infection rate of 17.45％(41/235).L.interrogans was detected in eight small mammals from four species(C.longicaudatus,M.musculus,M.arvalis,and Microtus oeconomus),with an infection rate of 3.40％(8/235).Babesia was detected in only one Mustela altaica,with an infection rate of 0.85％(1/235).Statistically significant differences were ob-served in the detection rates of pathogens among small mammal species(x2=200.54,P＜0.05).Among habitats,the detection rate of B.burgdorferi was highest in the forest(Fisher's exact test,P＜0.05).B.burgdorferi and L.interrogans co-infection was observed in three M.arvalis and two C.longicaudatus.In addition,one Babesia sequence was obtained,which clustered with Babesia vulpes in the phylogenetic tree.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were the main pathogens prevalent in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region and have potential to cause human diseases.Local authori-ties should strengthen the surveillance of corresponding zoonotic diseases,and formulate corresponding prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone in the treatment of multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The clinical data of 60 MM patients admitted to our center from January 2019 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively,including 43 newly diagnosed patients and 17 patients with recurrence and progression.All patients were treated with ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone,and completed 2 to 7 treatment cycles.Results:The overall response rate(ORR)of all patients was 98.3％.Among them,53 patients completed 4 treatment cycles,and the ORR was 86.8％.Seventeen patients completed the whole treatment cycle,with curative effect reaching 88.2％achieving very good partial response and above,and 52.9％achieving complete response and above.Albumin and β2-microglobulin of all patients had been improved rapidly after treatment.The deadline was August 31,2022.The median follow-up time was 14(3-24)months,and overall survival(OS)rate was 86.67％.The OS rate of patients with recurrence and progression was significantly lower than that of newly diagnosed patients(P＜0.05).The most common adverse reaction of hematology was lymphopenia(53.3％),followed by anemia(33.3％).The most common non-hematological adverse reaction was fatigue(68.33％),followed by peripheral neuropathy(31.67％).Conclusion:Ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone is effective in the treatment of MM,with good short-term efficacy,survival and safety.However,its long-term efficacy needs further observation.

Objective:This study aims to explore the synergistic effects of DIP and other medical insurance supply-side policies.Method:City A that has piloted DIP reform was set as the treatment group,and City B without reform was set as the control group.A total of 1 120 public medical institution samples from 2019 to 2022 were collected.The total medical expenses during hospitalization and some structural expenses were analyzed using DID method.Result:DIP had a significant inhibitory effect on the medical expenses,and the expenses of checkups and examinations during hospitalization in city A,but had no impact on the drug and the material expenses during hospitalization.Conclusion:DIP played a significant cost control role and effectively controlled the total medical expenses during hospitalization.The synergistic effects of price adjustment of medical services policy and national centralized drug/material procurement policy on cost control were insufficient.DIP synergized with other supply-side policies to promote rational medical cost structure.It is suggested that medical insurance departments should focus on the synergistic effects of medical insurance supply-side policies to jointly improve the efficiency of medical insurance fund utilization.
