ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Jiaohong pills (JHP) and its prescription, Pericarpium Zanthoxyli (PZ) and Rehmanniae Radix (RR) cognitive dysfunction in scopolamine-induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice and its mechanism through pharmacodynamic and metabolomics study. MethodThe animal model of AD induced by scopolamine was established and treated with PZ, RG and JHP, respectively. The effects of JHP and its formulations were investigated by open field test, water maze test, object recognition test, avoidance test, cholinergic system and oxidative stress related biochemical test. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of cerebral cortex was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-Quadrupole/Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS). ResultThe behavioral data showed that, compared with the model group, the discrimination indexes of the high dose of JHP, PZ and RR groups was significantly increased (P<0.05). The staging rate of Morris water maze test in the PZ, RR, high and low dose groups of JHP was significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), the crossing numbers in the PZ, JHP high and low dose groups were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01); the number of errors in the avoidance test were significantly reduced in the PZ and high-dose JHP groups (P<0.01), and the error latencies were significantly increased in the JHP and its prescription drug groups (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the activities of acetylcholinesterase in the cerebral cortex of the two doses of JHP group and the PZ group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the high-dose JHP group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the level of acetylcholine was significantly increased (P<0.01). At the same time, the contents of malondialdehyde in the serum of the two dose groups of JHP decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). The results of metabolomics study of cerebral cortex showed that 149 differential metabolites were identified between the JHP group and the model group, which were involved in neurotransmitter metabolism, energy metabolism, oxidative stress and amino acid metabolism. ConclusionJHP and its prescription can antagonize scopolamine-induced cognitive dysfunction, regulate cholinergic system, and reduce oxidative stress damage. The mechanism of its therapeutic effect on AD is related to the regulation of neurotransmitter, energy, amino acid metabolism, and improvement of oxidative stress.

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.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is considered to be mainly related to qi, phlegm, fire and deficiency. Binding constraint of liver qi is the initial cause, while phlegm and qi interact obstruction as well as phlegm and fire interact binding is the key pathogenesis of the transformation between depression and mania, and deficiency of both qi and yin is the main reason of the protracted course of disease. In clinical practice, BD is divided into binding constraint of liver qi pattern, phlegm and qi interact obstruction pattern, phlegm and fire interact binding pattern, and deficiency of both qi and yin pattern, which can be treated with Jinyu Shugan Powder (金玉疏肝散), Kaiyu Wendan Decoction (开郁温胆汤), Qingxin Huatan Decoction (清心化痰汤), and Baihe Shengmai Beverage (百合生脉饮) in their modifications respectively; moreover, Guanye Jinsitao (Herba Hyperici Perforati) is usually used to rectify qi, relieve phlegm and clear heat. It is also suggested to put focus on the prevention and treatment of qi, phlegm and heat simultaneously, and modify the medicinals flexibly in accordance with the pathogenesis evolution and the abnormal exuberance.

Objective:To analyze the data of vision acuity from primary and secondary school students in different regions in China in a screening program performed by Huaxia Eye Hospital, and to investigate the prevalence and incidence of myopia among them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Cross-sectional and cohort analysis of the visual acuity and refraction data of primary and secondary school students in China from 2019 to 2021 from Huaxia Eye Hospital was carried out.Myopia was defined as one eye with the uncorrected visual acuity less than 5.0 and a spherical equivalent <-0.50 D in the screening.The frequency of screening, the number of people, the distribution of vision acuity, and the distribution of myopia among subjects were compared by sexes, grades and regions, and the prevalence and incidence of myopia was analyzed.Standard logarithmic visual acuity chart was used for visual examination and automatic computerized optometry was used for refractive examination.Screening process was consistent in the study.This study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University (No.XMYKZX-KY-2019-011). The written informed consent was obtained from subjects or their guardians after explaining the examination procedure, methods and purpose prior to any medical examination.Results:A total of 4 027 schools in 51 cities of 19 provinces covering 4.556 million people were included in the vision study.The prevalence of myopia in screening was 64.85% in primary and secondary school population generally, 54.0% in primary school, 78.18% in junior high school and 87.05% in senior high school.There were statistical differences in the prevalence of screening myopia in different education stages ( χ2=100.7, P<0.001). The prevalence rate in females was higher than that in males ( χ2=5 557.5, P<0.001). The incidence of myopia within a year was 18.68% in primary and secondary schools, which was 16.57% in East China, 6.07% in Central China and North China, 15.11% in Southwest and Northwest China, 9.19% in South China, and there was a statistically significant differences among them ( χ2=1 200.9, P<0.001). Conclusions:The prevalence and incidence of myopia in primary and secondary school students are still high and vary with educational stages and regional factors.Scientific prevention and control of myopia should consider the two factors.

Objective:To compare the effects of different intraocular infusion solutions on histology and function of retina.Methods:Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEC), human retinal pigment epithelium (HRPE) cells and rat retinal ganglion cells (RGC) were divided into normal control group, balanced saline solution (BSS) group and compound electrolyte intraocular irrigating solution (CEIIS) group, and the cells were cultured in 10% DMEM/F12 medium, BSS and CEIIS for 12, 24 and 48 hours, respectively, according to grouping.The proliferation absorbance value of cultured cells was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) method.The expression of apoptosis related proteins in cultured cells was detected by cellular immunofluorescence staining.The cell apoptosis rate and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry.The mitochondrial damage was detected by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) quantitative detection kit.Fifteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into control group ( n=3), BSS group ( n=6) and CEIIS group ( n=6). The left eyes were taken for vitrectomy and different intraocular perfusion fluids were used during vitrectomy according to grouping.The retinal function of operative eyes was measured by flash electroretinogram (ERG) before operation and 24 hours after operation, and the structural changes of each layer of retina were detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT). The early apoptosis of retinal cells was detected by TUNEL staining.The expressions of cytochrome C and bax protein in retina were detected by immunohistochemical staining.The ultrastructural changes of retina were observed under a transmission electron microscope.The use and care of animals complied with the ARVO statement.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Peking University People's Hospital (No.2019PHE059). Results:The three kinds of cultured cells in BSS and CEIIS groups were damaged in various degrees.With the extension of culture time, proliferated cells were decreased and the number of apoptotic cells was increased.Compared with the BSS group, cultured cells in the CEIIS group were dense and in orderly arrangement with uniform morphology and size.The apoptosis rates of HRPE cells and RGC in the BSS group were (37.157±6.918)% and (29.993±12.330)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (4.163±1.310)% and (6.337±1.903)% in the CEIIS group ( P=0.003, 0.045). There was no significant difference in G0/G1+ S phase ratio of HCEC and HRPE cells among the normal control group, BSS group and CEIIS group (HCEC: F=2.226, P=0.189; HRPE: F=2.634, P=0.151), and the proportion of G2/M division arrest phase of RGC in the BSS group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group and CEIIS group ( P=0.047, 0.024). The proliferation absorbance values of HCEC, HRPE cells and RGC in the CEIIS group were significantly higher than those in the BSS group at each culture time point (all at P<0.05). The fluorescence intensity of cytochrome C, bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 proteins in the BSS group was stronger than that in the normal control group and CEIIS group, and the fluorescence intensity of bcl-2 was weaker than that in the CEIIS group, and the fluorescence intensity of zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) was weaker than that in the normal control group and CEIIS group.The release level of LDH in the BSS group was significantly higher than that in the CEIIS group at different time points (all at P<0.001). After 48 hours of culture, the release level of SDH in the BSS group was significantly higher than that in the CEIIS group ( P<0.05). No retinal histological abnormalities was found through OCT examination of rabbit eyes after vitrectomy in the two groups, but transmission electron microscopy showed that there were different degrees of loose arrangement of retinal photoreceptor cells, a large number of photoreceptor outer membrane discs falling off and vacuolar degeneration in the two groups, especially in the BSS group.TUNEL staining showed that the apoptotic cells were mainly located in the inner nuclear layer and RGC layer.The number of apoptotic retinal cells was (135.2±22.8)/high-power field of vision in the BSS group, which was significantly higher than (81.3±17.7)/high-power field of vision in the CEIIS group ( t=4.175, P=0.002). Full field flash ERG showed that the amplitudes of scotopic 3.0 ERG a- and b-wave in the CEIIS group after operation were significantly lower than those before operation, but the differences were not statistically significant (all at P>0.05). The amplitudes of scotopic 3.0 ERG a- and b-wave in the BSS group after operation were significantly lower than those before operation ( P=0.026, 0.010). Conclusions:In vivo and in vitro research results show that compared with BSS, there were few apoptotic cells in retinal tissue after vitrectomy perfused by CEIIS.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for myelosuppression in elderly lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and construct a risk prediction model for myelosuppression in elderly lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, data of 228 elderly patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Respiratory Department of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Zhenjiang from May 2018 to May 2019 were selected, and risk factors of adverse reactions of myelosuppression in patients were analyzed statistically. The binomial Logistic regression was applied to construct the prediction model and the area under the ROC curve was used to test the prediction effect of the model. The patient data from January to May 2020 were collected to validate the model.Results:Among the 228 patients, 75 patients developed myelosuppression, with an incidence of 32.89%. Multivariate analysis results showed that platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens, combined with other adverse reactions, decreased albumin before chemotherapy and decreased hemoglobin before chemotherapy were independent risk factors for myelosuppression in elderly lung cancer patients during chemotherapy ( P<0.05) , which were included in the model. The area under the ROC curve of the final model was 0.823, the maximum Youden index was 0.5, sensitivity was 81.3%, and specificity was 70.5%. The results of the verification data showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.846, sensitivity was 90.4% and specificity was 68.2%. Conclusions:The prediction effect of this model is good, which can provide reference basis for clinical treatment and formulating nursing measures to prevent myelosuppression.

Objective:To compare and evaluate the clinical outcome of immediate implant therapy in patients with limited buccal bone wall dehiscence and in patients with intact buccal bone wall.Methods:This prospective cohort study included patients intended to receive immediate implant treatment in upper anterior esthetic region in the Department of Implantology, Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from August to December, 2018. Patients with buccal bone wall dehiscence limited to the coronal half were attributed to experimental group to conduct flap implant surgery (indicating to less than coronal half of the buccal bone wall length from the alveolar bone crest to the implant tip), whereas patients with intact buccal bone wall were attributed to control group to conduct flapless implant surgery. Buccal bone wall resorptions in height and thickness were evaluated 6 months after implant placement. Implant survival rate, pink/white esthetic score and post-operation complications were also analyzed 12 months after implant placement. Paired t-test and two-sample t-test were adopted to analyze the differences of different points within one group and differences between groups, respectively. Results:A total of 38 patients with the age of (39.2±5.8) years (range 19-45 years) and 38 upper anterior single tooth implants were included,in which 19 patients were attributed to experimental group [12 male and 7 female, the age was (37.6±5.3) years], and 19 patients were attributed to control group [9 male and 10 female, the age was (40.8±6.7) years]. Over the 12 months′ observation after implant placement, the overall implant survival rate was 97% (37/38), and 18/19 in control group and 19/19 in experimental group. Only one implant lost in control group and no other complications were reported. Buccal bone resorption in thickness and height occurred in both groups within 6 months after implant placement. The thickness and height of buccal bone decreased significantly in both groups within 6 months after implant placement ( P<0.05). Thickness decreases in experimental group were (1.32±0.74), (0.53±0.89) and (0.36±0.70) mm in coronal, middle and apical part of implant in experimental, and (1.24±0.57), (0.83±0.46) and (0.38±0.72) mm in coronal, middle and apical part of implant in control group. While the buccal bone height decreases were (0.24±0.15) mm in experimental group and (0.25±0.23) mm in control group. There were no statistical differences between the corresponding spots in the two groups ( P>0.05). Upon the final restoration, both group got ideal pink esthetic scores [experimental group (10.92±1.13),control group (10.92±1.26)] and white esthetic scores [experimental group (7.61±0.78), control group (7.40±0.71)], the differences in both groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Clinical results of immediate implant to patients with buccal bone wall dehiscence limited to the coronal half are comparable to the results of patients with intact buccal bone wall.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the characteristics of background parenchymal enhancement(BPE)in the contralateral breast following neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)and whether BPE could help predict tumor response in early stage of advanced breast cancer. Methods Data from 161 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral breast cancer and then underwent NAC before surgery were analyzed retrospectively from August 2014 to December 2016.All the patients underwent both bilateral breast MRI scan with contrast enhancement. Two experienced radiologists independently categorized the patients' levels of BPE into four categories (1=minimal, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=marked) at baseline and after the 2nd cycle of NAC. All the patients were divided in to pathologic complete response (pCR) group and non-pCR group according to the histopathologic tumour response.The status of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) were recorded before underwent NAC.The t test and Pearson chi-squared test were used to compare the baseline characteristics of the pCR and Non-pCR groups.The kappa test was used to test the inter-observer agreement.The Wilcoxon test was used to test for changes of BPE categories after NAC.The Mann-Whitney U test was used to test the difference of BPE between pre-and post-menopausal status. Associations were evaluated using Binary logistic regression models. Results Fifty nine patients achieved pCR, and 102 patients had residual disease (non-pCR). Age, tumor size, distribution of size, menopausal status and lymph node showed no significance between pCR and non-pCR groups(all P>0.05),while only ER/PR status and HER2 status had a significant difference (P>0.05 in both). Inter-observer agreement regarding BPE categorization was moderate and substantial before and after NAC(Kappa value 0.644 and 0.708).The level of BPE was higher in premenopausal than post-menopausal women both at baseline and after the 2nd cycle of NAC(P<0.01). Decreased BPE was observed in 106 cases(premenopausal 60 cases and postmenopausal 46 cases),and no change in BPE were observed in 55 cases (premenopausal 27 cases and postmenopausal 28 cases). A significant reduction in BPE was observed after the 2nd NAC cycle in the overall cases, pre-and post-menopausal cases (all P<0.01). Logistic model showed that hormonal receptor (HR) negative and HER-2 receptor at baseline and the change of BPE after NAC were the independent factors for predicting pCR. Conclusions Regardless of the menopausal status, BPE showed a reduction after NAC, and it can serve as an additional imaging biomarker of tumour response at an early stage of NAC.
