ObjectiveTo analyze the adverse reactions associated with the clinical use of Banxia （Rhizoma Pinelliae）- Wutou （Aconitum） in the same formula， with the aim of providing a reference for the safety of their clinical application. MethodsLiterature on the clinical application of antagonistic herbs "Banxia-Wutou" used in the same formula， published from January 1st， 2014， to June 30th， 2023， was retrieved from databases including CNKI， VIP， Wanfang， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， and Embase. A database was established， and information related to adverse reactions was extracted， including descriptions， classifications， specific manifestations， management and outcomes， patients' primary diseases （western medicine diseases and traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses and syndromes）， and medication information （dosage， ratio， administration routes， and dosage forms）. ResultsA total of 79 researches simultaneously used antagonistic herbs Banxia-Wutou in the same formula and reported associated advers reactions. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most common， with 8 studies reporting management of adverse reactions and 3 studies reporting improvement with no intervention. Among the 11 researches， the adverse reaction relieved to extant， while other 69 researches didn't report the managment of adverse reaction and its prognosis. For the primary disease in western medicine system， chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） were most common， while gastric pain was the most common symptom in traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and kidney deficiency and spleen stomach cold deficiency being the most frequent syndromes. The most common Banxia dosage was 10 g， while for the Wutou， Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata） was predominant with the highest dose at 15 g. The most frequent herbal combination was Banxia-fuzi， with a 1∶1 ratio. The main administration route was oral， and the primary dosage form was decoction. ConclusionGastrointestinal adverse reactions are the most common in the clinical use of Banxia-Wutou antagonistic herb combinations. Research on the safety of "Banxia-Wutou" combinations should focus on respiratory system diseases and spleen-stomach related conditions.

Objective To evaluate safety and efficacy of linaclotide combined with polyethylene glycol(PEG)for bowel preparation.Methods A total of 612 patients from Department of Gastroenterology at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University for colonoscopy examination from January to June 2023 were selected.They were divided into group 1(1 L PEG+2 L PEG),group 2(linaclotide+2 L PEG)and group 3(1 L PEG+linaclotide+1 L PEG)by random number table method,with 204 cases in each group.The Ottawa Bowel Preparation Quality Scale(OBPS),the insertion time of colonoscopy,the time of the first defecation,the frequency of defecations,the occurrence of adverse effects and patients'tolerability were compared among the three groups.Results A total of 601 patients completed bowel preparation and accepted colonoscopy.Group 1 exhibited no statistically significant differences to group 2 with regards to OBPS and insertion time.However,Group 2 demonstrated a shorter duration for the time of the first defecation in comparison to both group 1 and group 3(P＜0.05).Group 1 displayed a higher frequency of defecations as compared to Group 2 and Group 3(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in group 2 and group 3 than in group 1(P＜0.05).The overall tolerance score of patients in group 1 was low-er than that in group 2 and group 3(P＜0.05).Conclusions The effect of combining 2 L PEG with 290 μg of lina-clotide for bowel preparation before colonoscopy is similar to that of 3 L PEG.It can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions and patients exhibit good tolerance.For patients who are intolerant to a single high-dose administration of PEG,they need divided-dose regimen of 2 L PEG in combination with linaclotide.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of energy spectrum CT quantitative parameters combined with serum thy-roid stimulating hormone receptor-messenger ribonucleic acid(TSHR-mRNA)for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC).Methods A total of 105 patients with thyroid micronodules confirmed by surgery and pathology were collected,61 of whom were PTMC(PTMC group),and 44 patients with micronodular goiter(MNG)(MNG group).Energy spectrum CT quantitative parameters and serum TSHR-mRNA expression were compared between the two groups.The diagnostic value of energy spectrum CT quantitative parame-ters alone and combined with serum TSHR-mRNA for PTMC was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The iodine concentration and slope of energy spectrum CT quantitative parameters between PTMC group and MNG group were signifi-cantly different in plain scan,arterial and venous phases(P＜0.05).The mean serum TSHR-mRNA expression in the PTMC group was higher than that in MNG group(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing PTMC using quantitative parame-ters of energy spectrum CT combined with serum TSHR-mRNA was 0.913,and the accuracy,sensitivity,and negative predictive value of diagnosing PTMC were significantly higher than those of quantitative parameters of energy spectrum CT or serum TSHR-mRNA(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both energy spectrum CT quantitative parameters and serum TSHR-mRNA can be used to diagnose PTMC alone,and the combination of both is more accurately.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the protective effect of empagliflozin on ischemic brain injury and neurological dysfunction in mice, and further explore its potential mechanism. METHODS: Acute cerebral ischemia model was induced by the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery in C57BL/6J mice. Empagliflozin(10 and 30 mg·kg−1) was administered to mice one hour after the onset of occlusion. Brain infarct volume and neurological defect score were assayed 24 h after surgery. Mice were subjected to photo-thrombosis and further administered with empagliflozin 3, 10, 30 mg·kg−1 intragastricly for either 7 or 14 consecutive days. The grid-walking task and the cylinder task were performed daily to determine the sensory-motor function of the mice. Alternatively, the mice were treated with 10 mg·kg−1 empagliflozin simultaneously with 10% glucose(i.p.) for 7 consecutive days after the photo-thrombosis model to evaluate their motor sensory function. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the activation of microglia within the infarct area 7 d after the photo-thrombosis. RESULTS: One hour after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery, gavage of empagliflozin significantly increased the brain infarct volume and neurological dysfunction. While in photo-thrombosis surgery, treatment of empagliflozin(10 mg·kg−1) for consecutive 7 or 14 days significantly decreased the rate of false foot in grid-walking task and the assymetric index in cylinder task. At the dose of 30 mg·kg−1, however, empagliflozin even aggravated photo-thrombosis-induced neurological dysfunction, while the dose of 3 mg·kg−1 showed no effect. Unexpectedly, the protective effect of empagliflozin(10 mg·kg−1) could not be reversed by glucose treatment. The results of immunofluorescence showed that empagliflozin(10 mg·kg−1) significantly alleviated the microglia activation in the ischemic area after the photo-thrombosis operation. CONCLUSION Empagliflozin cannot protect against acute ischemia-induced brain injury in mice. Empagliflozin alleviated ischemia-induced neurological dysfunction with consecutive administration in a dose-related manner. Empagliflozin-conferred neuroprotection may not be attributable to its effects on lowing blood glucose. Alternatively, empagliflozin may play a neuroprotective effect by inhibiting the excessive activation of microglia in ischemic brains.

Objective To construct and validate the risk prediction model for the occurrence of caesarean scar pregnancy(CSP)in women with re-pregnancy after cesarean section.Methods A total of 663 women with re-pregnancy after cesarean section in Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 2018 to 2022 were collected,and randomly divided the training set(n=460)and the test set(n=203)according to 7∶3,the cases of the training set were divided into the CSP group(n=239)and the non-CSP group(n=221),and the risk factors for the occurrence of CSP were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Based on the a-bove results,a nomogram model was constructed,validated and evaluated in the test set and the training set,respectively.The predictive efficacy of the model was evaluated by area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)and the Hosmer-Leme-show test,and the clinical application value of the model was evaluated by clinical decision curve analysis(DCA).Results The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of cesarean section＞1,posterior uterine position,the number of mis-carriages＞1,CSD,the history of miscarriage between the current pregnancy and the previous cesarean section were the risk factors for the occurrence of CSP(P＜0.05),and the timing of cesarean section was the protective factor for the occurrence of CSP in the course of labor(P＜0.05).Based on the above results,the nomogram prediction model was constructed,the AUC of the model in the training set was 0.813(95％CI:0.773-0.852),and the AUC of the model in the test set was 0.817(95％CI:0.755-0.878).Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test for the training set and the test set model was well fitted(x2=7.647,P=0.469;x=6.162,P=0.629).The calibration curve showed that the model had good consistency in predicting the occurrence of CSP in re-pregnancy after cesarean section,and the DCA curve showed that the model had high clinical efficacy in both the training set and the test set.Conclusion The prediction model constructed in this study can effectively predict the occurrence of CSP,which can provide references for early identification and pre-ventive treatment for high-risk populations.

Aim To investigate the effect and mechanism of hydrogen molecule on myocardial injury in severe traumatic brain injury(TBI)rats.Methods Using the fluid percussion injury(FPI)-induced TBI model.72 SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,TBI group and hydrogen molecule-treated group,with 24 rats in each group,and the rats were executed at 48 h after the operation.HE staining was used to observe the myocardial injury and the in-filtration of granulocytes,ELISA was used to detect the level of superoxide dismutase(SOD),Western blot was used to de-tect the expression of inflammation-related factors myeloperoxidase(MPO)and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)protein,RT-qPCR was used to detect the levels of cardiac troponin T(cTnT),inhibitory factor-1(IF-1),NADH/ubiquinone oxi-doreductase core subunit S7(NDUFS7),nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADP)and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate(NADPH).The changes of post-traumatic echocardiography and the 7-day survival rate and body weight in the rats were observed and recorded.Results Compared with the sham group,rats in the TBI group had significantly higher troponin levels,and the echocardiographic results showed higher left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)and significantly lower left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),and the above pathologic changes were significantly improved after treatment with the hydrogen molecule.Myo-cardial tissue was disorganized with erythrocyte infiltration,and myocardial fibers were infiltrated with granulocytes in the section,which were improved in the hydrogen molecule-treated group.The body weight of the rats decreased dramatically after the operation,and about 5 days later dropped to the lowest level,and then showed a trend of slow recovery.mNSS scores showed that the neurological function of the rats was severely impaired after TBI,and the postoperative myocardial tissues showed an increase in the expression levels of MPO and HO-1 proteins and a decrease in the expression levels of SOD,and the above pathological changes were significantly improved by hydrogen molecule treatment.In the TBI group,the expression levels of NADPH,IF-1 and NDUFS7 were reduced,and the expression levels of the above indicators were significantly increased after hydrogen molecule treatment.Conclusion Hydrogen molecule may be able to increase mitochondrial energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes and reduce myocardial oxidative stress by synergistically enhancing the protein expression of IF-1 and NDUFS7 on the mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain to increase cardiac function and survival rate in the acute phase of TBI.
