Zuoguiyin， which first recorded in Jingyue Quanshu written by ZHANG Jiebin in the Ming dynasty， was included in the Catalogue of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas（The Second Batch）. This study followed the Principles of Textual Research on Key Information of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas to determine the key information of Zuoguiyin in ancient and modern literature， such as the formula origin， the composition of the formula and the origin of the drugs. It was found that the composition， dosage， preparation and processing methods of Zuoguiyin were basically the same as the original formula. The original dosage of this formula is 41.03 g of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata（the fresh or dried tuberous roots of Rehmannia glutinosa， processed by wine stewing or wine steaming）， 7.46 g of Dioscoreae Rhizoma（the dried rhizomes of Dioscorea opposita）， 7.46 g of Lycii Fructus（the dried mature fruit of Lycium barbarum）， 3.73 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle（the dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis， processed by honey-roasted method）， 5.595 g of Poria（the sclerotium of Poria cocos）， 5.595 g of Corni Fructus（the dried mature fruit pulp of Cornus officinalis）. The method of administration is to add 600 mL of water to all the herbs， decoct to 140 mL and take before meals. The function of Zuoguiyin is to nourish Yin and tonify the kidney， and it is often used in the treatment of lumbar soreness and ejaculation， night sweating， dry mouth and throat， thirst and desire to drink， glossy red tongue， thin and rapid pulse， etc. Since ancient times， Zuoguiyin has been used to treat a variety of internal and gynaecological diseases as well as diseases of the nervous， circulatory and reproductive systems that are predominantly caused by kidney Yin deficiency. However， there is not much research on the modern application and therapeutic mechanism of this formula， and there is no standardized preparation in the market， so the degree of development and utilization is not high， and there is still a lot of room for research.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, genetic, and pathological features of nemaline myopathy type 8 (NEM8) caused by KLHL40 gene variation. Methods:The clinical data, gene sequencing results, and musculoskeletal pathophysiology of two cases (a pair of twins) with NEM8 admitted to our hospital in July 2022 were collected. CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Database were searched with the English and Chinese terms "nemaline myopathy type 8", "nemaline body myopathy type 8", and " KLHL40" from January 2007 to February 2023. The clinical, genetic, and musculoskeletal characteristics of the NEM8 cases were summarized using the descriptive statistical analysis method. Results:(1) Case report: The mother (G2P2) of the twins (Ⅳ-2 and Ⅳ-3) was conceived by IVF-embryo transfer and delivered at 37 +1 gestational weeks. The two cases were dizygotic twins whose maternal grandmother had lip and palate cleft. The first baby (Ⅳ-1) of the woman exhibited absent left pinna, contracture at the end of both fingers, talipes equinovarus in both feet and died of respiratory failure two hours after birth. Fetal edema and fetal movement delay in the twins and varus right foot in one twin were found during pregnancy. Both cases developed intrapartum asphyxia with the clinical manifestations of generalized muscle weakness, respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple joint contractures, and fractures. The families withdrew the treatment and the twins died after maintaining life with ventilators for 53 days after birth. Whole exome sequencing of the pedigree found c.1779G>T (p.W593C) homozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene in the twins and c.1779G>T (p.W593C) heterozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene in the parents, both were de novo. Musculoskeletal pathophysiology indicated that muscle fibers are thin and round with a fetal shape and absent rod. (2) Literature review: Among the 29 cases of NEM8, including two current cases and 27 cases retrieved from 15 papers, eight cases terminated the pregnancies, and 21 were live births; seven cases (24.1%) with positive family history; 19 cases (65.5%) were found with abnormalities during pregnancy, including abnormal fetal movements, polyhydramnios, joint contracture, and fetal edema. Of the 21 live births, 20 cases had intrapartum asphyxia, 21 had postnatal respiratory failure, 20 had generalized muscle weakness, and 19 had dysphagia. Among the 29 cases, 17 cases (58.6%) were homozygous variants of the KLHL40 gene, and 12 cases (41.4%) were compound heterozygous variants. The detection rate of c.1516A>C(p.Thr506Pro) was the highest [72.4% (21/29)], followed by c.602G>A(p.Trp201*) [17.2% (5/29)]. Out of the 15 cases who underwent musculoskeletal pathological examination, all had abnormal muscle fiber size and morphology; 10 cases had rods. Conclusions:NEM8 should be considered for those with abnormal fetal movements, polyhydramnios, joint malformation, fetal edema during the fetal period and failure to establish respiration at birth as well as postnatal generalized muscle weakness, respiratory failure, dysphagia, multiple joint contractures, and fracture. Moreover, genetic detection should be performed as soon as possible. NEM8 can be diagnosed in ones with KLHL40 gene homozygous or compound heterozygous variants and musculoskeletal pathological results of abnormal size and shape of muscle fibers, regardless of the presence of rods.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has gradually become a prominent cause affecting human liver health, and the development and progression of NAFLD are associated with metabolic dysfunction, with glucose and lipid metabolism disorder as the key link in this process. Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is one of the main receptors of bile acid and is extensively expressed in the body, and glucose and lipid metabolism mediated by TGR5 plays an important role in the human body. This article summarizes the role and mechanism of TGR5 in glucose and lipid metabolism and the research findings of the treatment of NAFLD based on TGR5, in order to provide a reference for basic and clinical research.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of neonatal resuscitation simulation exercise for perinatal medical personnel.Methods:From August 2020 to July 2021, perinatal medical personnel receiving simulated training of neonatal resuscitation in our hospital were prospectively enrolled. The professional backgrounds of the trainees were collected and their performances on both knowledge skills and behavioral skills were scored. The knowledge skills included pre-resuscitation preparation, initial resuscitation, positive pressure ventilation, tracheal intubation, chest compression and umbilical vein catheterization. The behavioral skills included situational awareness, problem solving, resource utilization, communication and leadership. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis.Results:Among the 200 participants, 127(63.5%) were neonatal/pediatric doctors and nurses, 65(32.5%) were obstetricians and midwives, 8(4.0%) were anesthesiologists and the ratio of doctors to nurses was 1.74∶1. The score of knowledge skills was (19.52±2.92) at the beginning of the simulation exercise and (27.02±2.72) at the end. The scores on preparation before resuscitation, initial resuscitation and positive pressure ventilation were significantly improved ( P<0.05). The score of behavioral skills was (16.60±2.34) at the beginning and (20.58±1.77) at the end. The scores of resource utilization, communication and leadership were significantly improved ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The simulation exercise provides multidisciplinary teamwork training for perinatal medical personnel, may significantly improve neonatal resuscitation skills and is worth promoting.

Objective To analyze 10 years survival status of urban female patients with corpus uteri cancer and its influencing factors in Liaoning Province. Methods Based on Liaoning cancer register database, 426 patients with corpus uteri cancer in Shenyang, Anshan and Benxi from 2000 to 2002 were randomly selected. They were followed up passively and actively. Life table method and Ederer Ⅱ method were used to calculate the observed survival rate (OSR), the expected survival rate (ESR) and the relative survival rate (RSR). Results We finally included 218 corpus uteri patients. The diagnosis proportions of stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ were 59.2%, 11.5%, 11.0% and 8.7%, respectively. Ten-year RSR and OSR were 59.6% and 67.9%. The diagnosis stage was negatively correlated with 10-year RSR. The 10-year RSR of patients treated with surgery was 71.3%, which was 6.6 times that of non-surgical treatment (10.8%). The 1-year RSR to 10-year RSR ranged from 88.4% to 67.5%. The RSR of each stage was Ⅰ-Ⅱ(95.7%-77.9%) > Ⅲ (71.4%-44.5%) > Ⅳ (58.4%-11.0%). Multivariate Cox model analysis showed that age > 55 years old, late diagnosis stage and non-surgical treatment were the main factors affecting the 10-year survival rate. Conclusion Early diagnosis and surgical treatment can significantly improve the long-term survival rate of patients. Therefore, we should strengthen the early detection and treatment of corpus uteri cancer, standardize and strengthen the screening program.

PURPOSE: The cancer survival was characterized by following up sampled subgroups of cancer cases from three population-based cancer registries in Northeast China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Survival analysis was used to analyze 6,871 patients, who had one of the 21 most common cancers based on sampling from the population-based cancer registries of three cities in Liaoning Province. All patients were diagnosed between 2000 and 2002 and were followed up to the end of 2007 by active and passive methods. The 5-year age standardized relative survival rates (ASRS) were estimated for all cancers combined and each of the 21 individual cancers. RESULTS: The survival status was traced for 80.8% of 8,506 sampled cancer cases. The 5-year ASRS for all 21 cancers combined was 41.5% (95% confidence interval, 40.3 to 42.7), the highest ASRS was observed for thyroid cancer (85.2%), breast cancer (78.9%), uterine corpus cancer (75.9%), and urinary bladder cancer (70.2%); the lowest 5-year ASRS was noted in pancreatic cancer (8.8%), liver cancer (11.0%), esophageal cancer (18.8), and lung cancer (19.6%). The cancer survival rates in Liaoning cities were similar to those of urban areas in mainland China, but significantly lower than those in Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. CONCLUSION: The strikingly poor cancer survival rates in three cities of Liaoning Province and in other places in China highlight the need for urgent investment in cancer prevention, early detection, and standardized and centralized treatment.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic susceptibilities and the profiles of virulence genes of clinically isolated Salmonella enterica serovars Schwarzengrund ( S. Schwarzengrund) strains for bet-ter understanding the epidemiological trend of this type of non-typhoidal Salomonella and to provide guide-lines for the prevention and treatment of S. Schwarzengrund infection. Methods Stool samples and clinical data of patients with acute diarrhea who received treatment in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical Univer-sity during May, 2014 to October, 2014 were collected for this study. Enrichment culture and biochemical identification were used to isolate and identify the S. Schwarzengrund strains. The isolated strains were fur-ther analyzed with serotyping analysis, drug susceptibility test, pulsed field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE) and multiple locus sequence typing ( MLST ) . The representative genes carried by Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPI) 1-5, SPI regulators and virulence plasmids were amplified by PCR. The coding genes of CdtB-islet, which were cdtB, pltA and pltB were amplified and sequenced. Results In total, 16 (14. 8%) out of 108 non-typhoidal Salmonella strains were identified as S. Schwarzengrund strains and all of them were sus-ceptible to 11 kinds of antibiotics such as fluoroquinolone, ampicillin, ceftriaxone and trimethoprim-sulfame-thoxazole. PFGE categorized the 16 S. Schwarzengrund strains into 3 clusters including A clone ( 14 strains), B clone (1 strain) and C clone (1 strain). The strains that isolated from 8 patients who ate the same food belonged to one cluster ( A clone ) , suggesting that it was an outbreak of infection. The 16 S. Schwarzengrund strains showed identical MLST type, which was ST241. The representative genes carried by SPI1-5 ( invA, sitC, hilA, sseL, sifA, mgtC, siiE and sopB) , the regulatory gene ( phoP) and the cytole-thal distending toxin islet (CdtB-islet) coding genes (cdtB, pltA and pltB) were positive, while the genes carried by virulence plasmids (pefA, prot6E and spvB) were negative. The similarities in CdtB-islet coding genes and amino acids sequences between Salmonella typhi and S. Schwarzengrund strains in this study were more than 97% and 98%, respectively. Conclusion In this study, polyclonal S. Schwarzengrund strains of ST241 type were isolated from the patients. They were susceptible to common antibiotics, but carried the virulence genes contained in SPI1-5 and CdtB-islet coding genes and might cause an outbreak of infection. Attention should be paid to the tendency and threat of clinical S. Schwarzengrund infection and continuous surveillance and investigation should be performed.
