Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), a common digestive system disease, has an unclear pathogenesis. Currently, it is mostly believed to be related to Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, immune factors, dietary factors, bile reflux, long-term use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and other factors. Ferroptosis is a regulated cell death mechanism that is iron-dependent and characterized by disruption of iron metabolism and accumulation of lipid peroxides. More and more studies have found that ferroptosis is closely related to the onset of CAG. Professor LI Diangui, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, first proposed the turbid toxin theory, which holds that spleen deficiency and turbid toxin is the main pathogenic mechanism of CAG. Abnormal iron metabolism regulation is a prerequisite for the accumulation of turbid toxin in CAG, and ferroptosis is in accordance with the pathogenic mechanism (spleen deficiency and turbid toxin) of CAG. This article explores the pathological mechanism of spleen deficiency and turbid toxin in CAG from the perspectives of iron metabolism, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation, providing theoretical support of traditional Chinese medicine for the modern research on CAG. It enriches the modern scientific connotation of the turbid toxicity theory and provides new ideas and breakthrough points for the clinical treatment of CAG.

Jiegeng decoction is a classic prescription composed of two Chinese medicinal herbs: Platycodon grandiflorum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis. It has the efficacy of diffusing lung qi, resolving phlegm, relieving sore throat and discharging pus, and is commonly used in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as cough and pharyngodynia. This article reviews the chemical components, pharmacological mechanisms and clinical applications of Jiegeng decoction. It was found that Jiegeng decoction contains triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, acids, and other components, with platycodin D, platycodin D2, glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, liquiritin, etc., serving as the main active pharmaceutical ingredients. Jiegeng decoction and its chemical constituents exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-κB and mitogen- activated protein kinases, and demonstrate anti-tumor activities through mechanisms like modulating the tumor immune microenvironment and promoting cancer cell apoptosis. Additionally, it exhibits various pharmacological actions including antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant effects. Clinically, Jiegeng decoction, its modified prescription and compound combinations are widely used in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as cough, pneumonia, and pharyngitis, as well as digestive system disorders like constipation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of coptisine on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in rats based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodA CAG rat model was induced by multiple factors, including sodium salicylate, N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and irregular feeding. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, folic acid group, and high- and low-dose coptisine groups. The high- and low-dose coptisine groups were given coptisine (50, 10 mg·kg-1, respectively), and the folic acid group was given folic acid at 2 mg·kg-1 for 60 days. The pathological changes were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells was observed by electron microscopy. Serum pepsinogen Ⅰ (PGⅠ), pepsinogen Ⅱ (PGⅡ), and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio (PGR) were detected by immunoturbidimetry. Serum gastrin-17 (G-17) level was detected by radioimmunoassay. The content of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in serum of rats was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELSIA). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt), mTOR, and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) in gastric mucosa. The mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, mTOR, PTEN, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ), and Beclin-1 were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed atrophy and reduced number of intrinsic glands in the gastric mucosal tissues, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration. The ultrastructure of gastric mucosal cells in the model group displayed nuclear condensation, reduced and swollen mitochondria, and abnormal structure. The serum levels of G-17, PGⅠ, PGR, and the protein and mRNA levels of PTEN in gastric tissues were significantly lower in the model group (P<0.01), while serum levels of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR in gastric tissues were significantly higher (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, various drug intervention groups showed different degrees of improvement in pathological damage and gastric mucosal cell ultrastructure, significantly increased serum levels of G-17, PGⅠ, and PGR (P<0.05,P<0.01), and significantly decreased levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α (P<0.05,P<0.01). The high-dose coptisine group significantly downregulated the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionBerberine has a therapeutic effect on CAG in rats, possibly exerting a protective effect on gastric mucosa by inhibiting inflammation and blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

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.

The non-randomized controlled study design was adopted. A total of 90 patients with knee osteoarthritis treated in Beijing Yuetan Community Health Service Center from September 2021 to August 2022 were enrolled in the study, including 45 patients received patellar loosening and then the quadriceps femoris pain point release (successive group) and remaining 45 patients received two manipulations simultaneously (simultaneous group). Patients were treated 3 times in a week, and each time received 5 groups of manipulation. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Lysholm scores were measured before treatment, immediately after treatment and 3 months after treatment. There was no exfoliation and no adverse events in both groups. There were no significant differences in VAS and Lysholm scores between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). Immediately after treatment, the VAS pain score in the simultaneous group was lower than that in the successive group ((3.36±1.12) vs.(2.24±0.93), P<0.01), while the Lysholm score in the simultaneous group was higher than that in the successive group ((89.76±6.61) vs.(74.07±16.80), P<0.01); the proportion of VAS score as“painless/mild pain”(88.9% (40/45) vs.64.4% (29/45), P<0.01) and Lysholm score as “excellent/good”(91.1% (41/45) vs. 44.4% (20/45), P<0.01) in the simultaneous group was significantly higher than that in the successive groups. At 3 months after treatment, there were still significant differences in VAS and Lysholm scores between the two groups. The simultaneous manipulations of patellar loosening and quadriceps femoris pain point release can better relieve the pain of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective:To explore the impact of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) on brain component volume, as well as its relationship with depression and cognitive function changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Method:It was a cross-sectional observational study. Clinical data of 119 patients under maintenance hemodialysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to July 2014 were collected, retrospectively. Patients were divided into IDH group and non-IDH group. 3.0T Magnetic resonance imaging examination of the head for all patients was completed and the results of volume analysis of each component of the brain were extracted. Cognitive function was assessed by the Chinese version of the simplified mental state examination scale (C-MMSE) and the Chinese version of the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (C-MoCA). Depressive status was assessed by the Hamilton depression scale 17 (HAMD_17) and living ability was assessed by the Alzheimer's disease collaborative study-daily living ability assessment questionnaire. In addition, the Philadelphia word learning test was used to measure memory, the Boston naming test to measure language, the connection test A and B to measure executive ability, and the Stroup test C to measure attention. The differences in brain component volume, cognitive function, emotion, and life ability between two groups of patients were compared, and the correlation between IDH and brain component volume was explored by regression analysis.Result:A total of 119 patients were included in this study, of whom 22 (18.5%) had hypotension during dialysis. The volumes of amygdala, cuneiform lobe, and posterior cingulate gyrus in IDH group were significantly smaller than those in the non-hypotension group [ (1.6±0.2) mm 3vs. (1.7±0.2) mm 3, t=2.674, P=0.009; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±1.0) mm 3, t=2.187, P=0.031; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±0.9) mm 3, t=2.252, P=0.024]. The differences of gray matter, white matter volume between the two groups showed a similar trend but did not reach statistical significance. And lacunar infarction and cerebral microbleeds were more common in IDH group. The daily living ability scores of the two groups were similar (65.51±11.52 vs. 65.71±11.53, Z=-0.456, P=0.648). The proportion of patients with cognitive abnormalities was higher in the IDH group, without statistical significance. The proportion of depression was similar. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that IDH was significantly negatively correlated with the volume of amygdala, cuneiform cortex, and posterior cingulate gyrus, which control emotions in the brain ( B=-0.117, 95% CI -0.203--0.030, P=0.009; B=-0.484, 95% CI -0.923--0.046, P=0.031; B=-0.485, 95% CI -0.911--0.058, P=0.026). After multivariate adjustment, decreased amygdala volume was still correlated with IDH ( B=-0.111, 95% CI -0.198--0.025, P=0.026). Conclusion:Recurrent IDH may lead to atrophy of various brain components, which may be one of the reasons for cognitive and emotional changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in 276 hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection to facilitate prevention and treatment. Methods Among of 276 hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed. Data on the distribution of pathogenic bacteria were collected and analyzed. At the same time, the information on drug resistance was collected, and the potential relationship between pathogen distribution and drug resistance was briefly analyzed and discussed. Results A total of 532 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in the blood samples from 276 patients in this study. There were 207 strains of Gram-positive bacteria, including 104 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 96 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and 7 strains of others. Gram negative bacteria (325 strains) were 172 strains of Klebsiella and 153 strains of Escherichia coli. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in different gender and age groups (under 5 years old, 5-10 years old, and over 10 -14 years old) was calculated separately. The results showed that the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in female children under 5 years old (n=49 cases) was different from the total population: the infection of Gram-positive bacteria was higher than that of Gram-negative bacteria, and the proportion of Staphylococcus epidermidis was the highest (P<0.05). The distribution characteristics of children of other ages and sexes were consistent with the total distribution characteristics. The resistance rate of Gram-positive bacteria to penicillin, erythromycin and clarithromycin was high, while the resistance rate of Gram-negative bacteria to ampicillin, cefazolin and cefuroxime was high. The distribution characteristics were the same in children of different sex and age. Conclusion The pathogenic bacteria in children with lower respiratory tract infection in pediatric ward are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the main pathogenic bacteria have a high resistance rate to common drugs. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in female children under 5 years old is unique: the infection of Gram-positive bacteria is higher than that of Gram-negative bacteria, and the proportion of Staphylococcus epidermidis is the highest, which deserves attention. The clinical drug sensitivity test can be used as an important reference for the treatment of drugs to guide the rational selection of antibiotics.
