ObjectiveTo investigate the attenuating effect of Dioscoreae Bulbiferae Rhizoma（DBR） processed with Phaseoli Radiati Semen（PRS） juice， and explore the attenuating mechanism based on ferroptosis of the main toxic target organ. MethodSixty male ICR mice were randomly divided into blank group， DBR group， water roasted DBR group（hereinafter referred to as water group）， PRS juice-roasted DBR group 1（DBR-PRS 10∶1， stuffy moistening for 40 min， stir-fried at 130 ℃ for 18 min， hereinafter referred to as group 1）， PRS juice-roasted DBR group 2（DBR-PRS 10∶1， stuffy moistening for 80 min， stir-fried at 100 ℃ for 14 min， hereinafter referred to as group 2）， PRS juice-roasted DBR group 3（DBR-PRS=20∶3， stuffy moistening for 40 min， stir-fried at 160 ℃ for 14 min， hereinafter referred to as group 3）. The raw and processed groups of DBR were gavaged with their corresponding 95% ethanol extract at a dose of 3 g·kg^-1·d^-1， while the blank group was gavaged with an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose， once a day for 14 consecutive days. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of mouse liver. Alanine aminotransferase（ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase（AST） levels in serum， as well as malondialdehyde（MDA）， ferrous ions（Fe²⁺）， reduced glutathione（GSH） and superoxide dismutase（SOD） levels in liver tissue were detected by the biochemical detection. Western blot was used to detect the expression of iron key proteins such as ferritin heavy chain 1（FTH1） and glutathione peroxidase 4（GPX4）. ResultHE staining results showed that the liver tissue structure of the blank group was clear， the morphology of hepatocytes was normal， the cytoplasms of hepatocytes in the DBR group and water group were loose and vacuolar， with obvious pathological damages， and the pathologic damages of mice in the group 1-3 were significantly improved. Compared with the blank group， the levels of ALT， AST， MDA and Fe²⁺ in mice from the DBR group were significantly increased（P<0.01）， while GSH and SOD levels were significantly reduced（P<0.01）， and the protein expression levels of FTH1 and GPX4 were significantly decreased（P<0.01）. Compared with the DBR group， the ALT， AST，MDA and Fe²⁺ levels of mice in the group 1-3 were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the GSH and SOD levels and the protein expression levels of FTH1 and GPX4 were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Compared with the water group， the AST and MDA levels of mice in the group 1-3 were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the SOD level significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the FTH1 protein expression significantly increased（P<0.01）， and the serum ALT level of mice in the group 2-3 significantly reduce（P<0.01）， Fe²⁺ level significantly reduced（P<0.01）， GSH level significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and GPX4 protein expression significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Among the group 1-3， the group 3 had the best detoxification effect. ConclutionProcessing with PRS juice can reduce the liver injury induced by DBR， and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis in the liver.

Objective:To compare the effects of different test meals on postprandial triglycerides and to optimize the standard meal composition and the blood sampling protocol for the oral fat tolerance test.Methods:This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over trial. In March 2023, 36 volunteers were recruited in Hebei General Hospital. They underwent a health examination and oral glucose tolerance test. Twenty-six healthy volunteers(11 males and 15 females) were included in this study, with an average age of(39.08±4.56) years. Each volunteer received 75 g protein meal, 75 g fat meal, 700 kcal fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal, and a high-fat mixed meal with energy adjusted based on 10 kcal/kg body weight. A one-week washout period of regular diet was applied before each trial. Blood was collected at fasting status and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after a meal to detect serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), glucose, and insulin. The variations of postprandial metabolic indicators over time following the consumption of different test meals were analyzed. The disparities in postprandial metabolic responses between the two types of mixed meals were compared.Results:The protein meal, fat meal, fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal, and adjusted-calorie high-fat mixed meal resulted in postprandial triglyceride increases of 22.45%, 115.40%, 77.14%, and 63.63%, and insulin increase of 560.43%, 85.69%, 554.18%, and 598.97%, respectively, and with reductions in total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C ranging from 5.64%-21.81%, respectively. The blood glucose changed slightly. Changes in metabolic indicators mainly occured within 4 hours. The comparison of the characteristics of postprandial triglycerides between the two high-fat mixed meals showed no statistically significant differences( P>0.05). Conclusion:A standardize protocol with a 700 kcal fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal as test meal, and blood lipid levels measured at fasting and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours after consumption, can serve as an optimized approach for oral fat tolerance test.

To summarize the perioperative nursing of respiratory care in 27 severely obese patients with acute type A aortic dissection.The mainly nursing points are as follows:active intervention for obesity hypoventilation syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were conducted preoperatively,and a transient increase in intrathoracic and abdominal pressure were avoided.Intraoperative emergency care coordination for difficult airway was enhanced,and intensive lung function protection measures were implemented.Postoperative postural management was optimized;lung diaphragm protective strategies were carried out;progressive invasive-non-invasive step-down therapy was conducted to enhance ventilator endurance;lung infection surveillance was strengthened;early rehabilitation and psychological counselling were implemented.After careful treatment and nursing care,26 cases were cured and discharged from the hospital,and a case with difficulty in extrication was transferred to the respiratory rehabilitation hospital under tracheotomy.

Gallstone is a common and frequent disease and frequent incidence, secondary infection and cancer seriously affect the health of patients. Academic organizations in different regions have issued multiple guidelines and consensus to promote the normative diagnosis and treatment of gallstones. However, in clinical practice, most symptomatic gallstones are treated, while the formation and prevention process of gallstones are ignored, making the concept of treating without a disease has not been strengthened.This article reviews the risk factors and mechanisms of gallstone formation, and points out the importance of effective prevention during stone formation. In the stage of gallstone formation, the high risk factors of stone formation can be analyzed through two aspects of injury factors and protective factors, and the high risk groups of stone formation can be screened out. According to the pathophysiological progression of gallstones, personalized prevention and follow-up strategies can be developed for the stone formation stage of gallstones.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) applied in guided bone regeneration (GBR) for severe bone deficiency in the anterior maxilla. Methods : Forty patients with bone defects in the anterior maxilla were chosen to be treated with GBR, 20 patients were treated with CGF applied in GBR as the observation group, and the other 20 patients were treated only with GBR as the control group. The evaluation of wound healing was performed after the operation, and bone augmentation was evaluated half a year after the operation. Results: The first-stage healing rate of soft tissue wounds in the observation group was 100% and 75% in the control group, and the primary healing rate in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P=0.017). The changes in bone width of the observation group were （3.70 ± 0.28） mm, and those of the control group were （2.96 ± 0.16） mm. The bone augmentation in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.000). Conclusion CGF applied in GBR has a good effect on bone augmentation for severe bone deficiency in the anterior maxilla.

OBJECTIVE: To review the development of adult and pediatric liver transplantation in Tianjin First Center Hospital, and to enhance academic exchanges, improve technological innovation, and jointly promote the progress and maturity in the field of liver transplantation. METHODS: The development of liver transplantation in Tianjin First Center Hospital was analyzed. The clinical data of adult and pediatric liver transplantation from September 1998 to September 2018 were collected. The important events and technological innovation achievements of liver transplantation during the 20 years were summarized. RESULTS: The first clinical liver transplantation was attempted in Tianjin First Central Hospital in April 1980. The first long-term survival adult liver transplantation in China was completed in 1994 (11 years survival after the operation). The specialized team of liver transplantation was formally established in September 1998. The 20-year clinical exploration and progress reflected the characteristics of era changes and technological innovation during the rapid development of liver transplantation in China. Our center performed liver re-transplantation in January 1999, reduced-size pediatric liver transplantation in August 2000. In May 2001, we organized the formulation for the preventive and treatment plan for hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation. We performed combined liver and kidney transplantation in July 2002, split liver transplantation (SLT) in April 2004, the first domino liver transplantation (DLT) in August 2005. Pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) was initiated in October 2006, adult LDLT was carried out in August 2007. In September 2007, the first living donor combined liver and kidney transplantation from the same donor in Asia was performed. The first domino+living donor double grafts liver transplantation in the world was performed in January 2009. In March 2011, we performed laparoscopically assisted right hepatic lobe liver transplantation (LDLT) with middle hepatic vein. In May 2014, living donor laparoscopic left lateral lobe procurement was successfully established. In April 2016, simultaneous liver, pancreas and kidney multi-organ transplantation was completed. Domino donor-auxiliary liver transplantation was performed in February 2017. In December 2017, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-supported liver transplantation in a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension was successfully completed. Liver transplantation combined with partial splenectomy was established in April 2018. Cross-domino liver transplantation (hypersensitive kidney transplantation with auxiliary liver transplantation+pediatric liver transplantation) was performed in May 2018. During the 20 years, the team has performed or assisted other centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to carry out more than 10 000 cases of liver transplantations. A total of 7 043 cases of various types of liver transplantation were performed in the single center of the hospital (6 005 adult liver transplantations and 1 038 pediatric liver transplantations). Concerning adult liver transplantation, the cumulative 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rate from September 1998 to March 2003 were 83.1%, 73.0% and 69.0%, from April 2003 to March 2009 were 85.3%, 76.2% and 72.1% and from April 2009 to September 2018 were 87.5%, 79.2% and 75.1%, respectively. The cumulative 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rate for pediatric liver transplantation were 93.5%, 92.2% and 90.2%, respectively. The nucleoside (acid) analogue combined with low dose hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) was developed to prevent the recurrence of hepatitis B after liver transplantation, this plan has reduced the recurrence rate of hepatitis B and the 5-year re-infection rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) after liver transplantation significantly. The risk assessment system for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation was established and individual treatment method was established based on this assessment system. Continuous exploration and improvement of liver transplantation for liver cancer, liver re-transplantation, liver transplantation with portal vein thrombosis, SLT, DLT and multi-organ combined transplantation have significantly improved the clinical efficacy of patients and the post-operative survival rate. CONCLUSIONS The liver transplantation team of Tianjin First Center Hospital has carried out a scientific and technological exploration on the key problems and technical difficulties of clinical liver transplantation. This work strongly has initiated and promoted the rapid development of liver transplantation in China. The restrictive barrier of hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation has been overcome. The risk prevention and control system of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation has been established. A series of innovative achievements that can be popularized have been achieved in the field of complex liver transplantation and expansion of donor liver source. The iterative progress and sustainable development of liver transplantation have been realized.

Objective? To investigate the childbirth experience of vaginal delivery and provide a theoretical basis for improving the quality of midwifery services. Methods? From August to December in 2017, puerpera were selected from a ClassⅢ Grade A obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Beijing and a ClassⅢ Grade A general hospital using the convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire and Childbirth Experience Questionnaire 2.0 (CEQ 2.0) were used to survey the participants within 72 hours after delivery. SPSS 23.0 was used for analysis. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 240 valid questionnaires were returned. The response rate was 96.0%. Results? The total score of childbirth experience was (78.30±9.21), with perceived safety score of (17.52±3.21), participation score of (12.06±2.24), professional support score of (16.21±2.0), own capability score of(20.44±3.47) . There was a statistically significant impact of expectation of childbirth method, being multipara, taking prenatal course, understanding of vaginal birth, fear or anxiety during delivery on the total score of childbirth experiences (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Overall, the childbirth experience is good. Hospital staff should promote prenatal courses, provide maternity knowledge for patients, foster better understanding of delivery process, help establish appropriate childbirth expectations, reduce fear and anxiety associated with childbirth, and improve the childbirth experience.

Objective? To understand the attitude and behavioral status quo of obstetric nursing staff in caring for maternal women with fetal loss, so as to provide effective reference for the establishment of obstetric grief nursing model. Methods? By convenience sampling, nurses and midwives working in the obstetrics department in a ClassⅢ Grade A obstetrics and gynecology hospital of Beijing from March 1st to 31st of 2017 were selected. Self-designed "Questionnaire on Attitude and Behavior of Obstetric Nurses on Grief Nursing" was used to investigate the attitude and behaviour status of the obstetric nurses and midwives on grief nursing. The questionnaires were distributed collected by 2 charge nurses in obstetric department. The data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software. Results? A total of 165 questionnaires were distributed and 165 ones were retrieved. The score of grief nursing attitudes of obstetric ward nurses was (37.03±7.01), and the score of grief nursing behaviors was (27.08±5.61); the score of grief nursing attitudes of obstetric ward midwives was (39.15±7.22), and the score of grief nursing behaviors was (16.76±4.51).There were significant differences in the scores of grief nursing attitudes among nurses of different ages, working years and professional titles (P＜ 0.05); there were statistical difference in scores of grief nursing behaviors from nurses with different working years and professional titles(P＜0.05). The highest score of grief nursing attitudes was (4.25±0.85), and the lowest was (2.81±1.05); the highest score of grief behaviors was (4.33±0.98), and the lowest was (1.79±1.04). Conclusions? Obstetric nurses' perception of grief nursing is relatively limited and lack of standardized obstetric grief nursing mode. It is necessary to further improve the education and training of sensitive culture of medical staff in grief nursing consultation. A standardized grief nursing model should be established according to the psychological status and actual psychological needs of the mothers with lost fetuses in China.

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck Castleman′s disease (CD), and to improve the understanding of the disease. Methods: The clinical data of 41 patients with head and neck CD treated from January 2007 to July 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups: localized CD (LCD, n=27) and multicentric CD (MCD, n=14). The clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, operations, pathological findings and follow-up data were analyzed. Results: LCD was characterized by asymptomatic enlargement of the single lymph node with mild clinical symptoms. The main pathological type was hyaline vascular type, which can be cured by surgical treatment. MCD accompanied by fever 9 cases(64.3%), anemia 8 cases (57.1%), splenomegaly 7 cases (50.0%), respiratory symptoms 6 cases (42.9%), with multiple enlarged superficial and deep lymph nodes with pain, pleural effusion, and edema of lower extremity, C-reaction protein increased in 8 cases (57.1%), hypoproteinemia 8 cases(57.1%), globulin increased 7 cases (50.0%) and neutropenia 6 cases(42.9%). The main pathological type was plasma cell type in 7 cases (50.0%), and also there were 4 cases of hyaline vascular type and 2 cases of mixed type. Chemotherapy with or without rituximab was the main treatment. Most patients received complete or partial remission except for 2 patients who died of lung infection due to chemotherapy. Conclusions The diagnosis of head and neck CD depends on pathological examination. LCD shows mild symptoms and good prognosis after surgery. However, clinical manifestations of MCD are complex, with relatively poor prognosis after comprehensive treatment.

Objective To investigate the effects of periostin (Postn) on oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced injury in human artery endothelial cells (HAECs) and its underlying mechanisms.Methods The HAECs were randomly divided into 4 groups:control group,ox-LDL group,Postn siRNA group and negative siRNA group.The mRNA and protein expression was analyzed by RT-qPCR and Westem blot respectively.Cell proliferation was tested by MTT.Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.NF-κB DNA binding ability was measured by EMSA.Results Compared with control group,the mRNA and protein levels of Postn were increased significantly (P＜0.05);the ability of cell proliferation was reduced (P＜0.05);the cell apoptosis rate was increased (P＜ 0.05);the protein expression levels of VCAM1,ICAM1,E-selectin,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,p65 and p-IκB-α were significantly up-regulated (P＜0.05),and the NF-κB DNA binding ability was markedly increased (P＜ 0.05) in ox-LDL group,which were all reversed in Postn siRNA group.Conclusions Postn siRNA transfection may reduce ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury,which may be related with the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.
