AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetic properties of the main active components of Dalitong extract in SD rats after oral administration using UPLC-MS / MS. METHODS: An UPLC-MS / MS method was established to simultaneously detect tetrahydropalmatine, nobiletin and costunolide in the plasma and tissues of SD rats. The method was applied to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and tissue distribution. RESULTS: After a single oral administration, the three active components were rapidly absorbed into the body, with a peak concentration (Cmax) of (13.73 ± 7.50), (27.01 ± 17.69) and (6.73 ± 29.94) ng / mL for tetrahydropalmatine, nobiletin, and costunolide, respectively. The time to reach the peak concentration (Tmax) was (1.40 ± 0.93), (0.63 ± 0.28) and (2.38 ± 8.81) h, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was (80.43±40.03), (41.30±28.69) and (303.90 ± 136.69) ng · h · mL

Objective:Explore the feasibility and advantages of using proximal and distal ends of thoracodosal artery and vein as recipient vessels in deep inferior epigastric perforator flap immediate breast reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent breast reconstruction surgery using the proximal and distal ends of the thoracodorsal vein as recipient vessels at the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from March 2022 to June 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative examinations included thoracoabdominal angiography and color Doppler ultrasonic localization of the main trunk and perforators of the inferior epigastric vessels. The procedure began with mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection, followed by the isolation of bilateral perforators and the main trunk of the abdominal flap. The main trunks of the bilateral inferior epigastric arteries were then transected, and their vascular pedicles exposed and anastomosed respectively to the proximal and distal ends of the thoracodorsal artery and vein. Both arteries and veins were joined end-to-end. The flap after trimming and reconstruction was then implanted into the cavity left after mastectomy through the incision. Breast positioning was performed with the patient in a knee-bent and hip-flexed position. After adjusting the shape of the reconstructed breast. The donor site was closed, the umbilicus was reconstructed, drainage tubes were placed, and the breast incision was closed. Postoperative follow-up monitored complications associated with the flap and patient satisfaction with the breast reconstruction, utilizing a self-assessment method.Results:Four female patients were included, aged (46.0±6.5) years, ranging from 37 to 52 years. All four patients had bilateral vascular pedicles in the donor area, with three patients having thoracodorsal vessels at the distal and proximal ends as recipient vessels, and one patient having anterior serratus branch of the thoracodorsal vessels at the distal and proximal ends. All drainage tubes were removed within 7 to 10 days after surgery. Patients were discharged. Follow-up period ranged from 1 to 15 months, averaging 6 months. The patients recovered well postoperatively, with no flap-related complications occurring. All four patients were satisfied with the result of the reconstruction.Conclusion:The simultaneous application of the proximal and distal ends of the thoracodorsal artery and vein can ensure the safety of flap survival while reducing damage to the ribs and intercostal muscles, achieving better aesthetic result.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of nontuberculous mycobacteria(NTM),and to provide guidance for the selection of targeted agents in clinical treatment. Methods The clinical data of inpatients in our hospital from April 2019 to February 2021 were collected,the culture and strain identification of non tuberculosis mycobacteria were carried out,the drug sensitivity test of anti tuberculosis drugs was carried out,and the drug resistance of non tuberculosis mycobacteria to first-line anti tuberculosis drugs was analyzed. Results A total of 1 326 strains of mycobacterium were isolated,including 1 154(87.03%)strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis and 172(12.97%)strains of non-mycobacterium tuberculosis.Nine species of nontuberculous mycobacteria were detected,including slow-growing mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex,belonging to Groups I-III,and fast-growing mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium smegmatis,belonging to Group IV. Among them , Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex and Mycobacterium chelonae were dominant,accounting for 26.16%and 36.63%,respectively.Drug susceptibility tests showed that the resistance rate of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex to streptomycin was 100.00%,the drug resistance rate of Mycobacterium chelonae to isoniazid,rifampicin and streptomycin was 100.00%,and the drug resistance rate of Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium abscessus to most antibacterial drugs was 100.00%.The resistance rate of major NTM bacteria to clarithromycin was relatively low.There was no statistically significant difference in the susceptibility rates of slow and fast-growing mycobacteria to isoniazid and clarithromycin(P>0.05) ; The susceptibility rates of slow-growing mycobacteria to amikacin,clarithromycin and rifambutin were 62.86%,92.86%and 72.86%,all above 50.00%.The susceptibility rate of the fast-growing mycobacteria to clarithromycin was also more than 50.00%,being 87.25%.The susceptibility rate of slow-growing mycobacteria to other antibiotics was higher than that of fast-growing mycobacteria(P<0.05).The drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first-line anti tuberculosis drugs was significantly lower than that of non Mycobacterium tuberculosis(P<0.05). Conclusion Non-tuberculous mycobacteria have high drug resistance,especially fast-growing mycobacteria,so drug susceptibility tests are of great value in clinical treatment.

Objective:Unidentified filling objects (UFO) can cause adverse results including infections, overfilling, asymmetry, foreign body granulomas, dislocation or psychological panic. To remove UFO accurately, it is important to locate and identify the injected substances preoperatively. This study investigated the viability of using MRI to correctly locate and identify injected substances by relating MRI to gross and pathological microscopic examination.Methods:Eighty-two facial UFO patients from 2013 to 2017 were studied by the experts of the Department of Image, Xinhua Hospital of Dalian University. Five of the patients were male and seventy-seven were female. The age ranged from 17 to 58 years with average 29.4 years. They came to our hospital for removal of UFO after they had facial injective fillers in the illegal medial offices. The injected sites involved in the forehead, temple, malar, cheek, nose, nasolabial folds, and chin. All the patients＇ faces were examined with MRI preoperatively, using T1W, T2W and fat-suppressed sequences. Based on the guides of MRI, UFOs were removed with their capsules by open approach. Samples were recorded with digital pictures and then were fixed in 10% formalin solution for microscopic examination of HE stained slices.Results:Based on MRI, gross and microscopic examination, UFO were classified into 3 types, gel-like fillers, solid particles, and growth factors. Gel-like fillers appeared strongly hyperintense on T2 W and STIR sequences and hypointense on T1 W sequences. Grossly, they looked like gruel covered by altered soft tissue. Under the light microscope, many pieces of blue-stained material were dispersed in subcutaneous tissue infiltrated with a large number of mononuclear cells and foreign-body giant cells. Solid particles had low to intermediate signal intensity on T1 W and T2 W images. Grossly, they were like sand merging in soft tissue. The biopsy showed crowed bubbles surrounded by tissue filled with a large number of mononuclear cells and foreign-body giant cells. For growth factors affected tissue, it was hard to differentiate between normal and abnormal on MRI. The affected tissue appeared as somehow hypointense on T1 W sequences and hyperintense on T2 W fat suppressed sequences. During the operation, the affected region was easy bleeding and full of fibrofatty tissue. Under the microscope, there were increased small blood vessels and collagens.Conclusions:Based on MRI, gross and microscopic examination, UFO can be classified into 3 types, gel-like fillers, solid particles, and growth factors. MRI is very important for doctors to assess the patient＇s conditions and make the plan of operation. MRI is also useful for doctors to locate UFO and understand the relationship between UFO and their nearby organs.
