Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training under the guidance of Chinese medicine-enhanced recovery after surgery(CMERAS)in postoperative rehabilitation of tibial plateau fracture.Methods Sixty patients with tibial plateau fracture in postoperative rehabilitation period were randomly divided into observation group and control group,30 cases in each group.The control group was given routine postoperative rehabilitation training,and the observation group was treated with combined acupuncture treatment on the basis of the rehabilitation training of the control group.Both groups were treated for 3 consecutive months.After 3 months of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of pain were observed before and after treatment,and the changes in the knee scores of the Hospital for Special Surgery knee score(HSS)of the United States were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.As well as the time of fracture healing on the operative side of the two groups of patients,and the fracture healing rate within 3 months of the two groups of patients were compared.Results(1)After 1 week,1 month and 3 months of postoperative treatment,the VAS scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved compared with the pre-treatment period(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the VAS scores,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the HSS scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the HSS scores,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After 3 months of treatment,the fracture healing rate was 56.67%(17/30)in the observation group and 30.00%(9/30)in the control group.The fracture healing rate of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)After 3 months of acupuncture treatment,the total effective rate was 96.67%(29/30)in the observation group and 73.33%(22/30)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of acupuncture in postoperative rehabilitation of tibial plateau fractures under the guidance of CMERAS is significant,which reduces the clinical symptom of postoperative pain of the patients,shortens the healing time of fracture breaks,and significantly improves the patients'knee joint function.

Objective To determine the neurotoxic effects of amyloid beta 42(Aβ42)oligomers and investigate the mechanism of their induction of Alzheimer's disease(AD)-like pathogenesis in neuronal cells.Methods Western blotting and transmission electron microscopy were used to identify the synthesized Aβ42 oligomers.In order to assess the impact of the oligomers,MTT assay was employed to measure cell viability in neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y treated with 10μmol/L Aβ42 oligomers for 12 or 24 h,glutamatergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells(hESC)exposed to Aβ42 oligomers for 24,48,or 96 h,and corresponding control cells.TUNEL assay was utilized to assess the apoptosis of glutamatergic neurons.Additionally,immu-nofluorescence assay was applied to detect the changes in Aβ plaques and p-tau pathology.Results Western blotting displayed monomers and small-molecule aggregation(＜30 000)in our synthe-sized Aβ42 oligomers,and transmission electron microscopy showed that the synthesized oligomers were mainly in a shape of spherical particles.Treatment of 10 μmol/L Aβ42 oligomers for 12 and 24 h in SH-SY5Y cells significantly decreased cell viability when compared with the control cells[(70.89±2.54)％vs(100.00±2.02)％,(52.63±3.37)％vs(100.00±2.80)％,P＜0.05].The 10μmol/L oligomers treatment for 24,48 and 96 h also decreased cell viability in glutamatergic neu-rons(P＜0.05).The apoptotic rates was significantly higher in glutamatergic neurons after treat-ment for 48 and 96 h when compared to the control cells[(1.44±0.31)％vs(1.00±0.38)％,(1.75±0.64)％vs(1.00±0.31)％,P＜0.05].Furthermore,circular granular Aβ-positive plaque signals were observed in the glutamatergic neurons after treated with the oligomers for 24,48,and 96 h,but no such plaque signals were seen in the control cells.Additionally,glutamatergic neurons incu-bation with 10 μmol/L oligomers for 24 h resulted in tau hyperphosphorylation at the Thr231 site,with the average fluorescence intensity significantly higher than that in control cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion Aβ42 oligomers show toxic effects to both SH-SY5Y cells and glutamatergic neurons,and they can also induce glutamatergic neurons to produce AD pathology.

Background::There is a need for effective and safe therapies for psoriasis that provide sustained benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody, for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Chinese patients.Methods::In this multi-center, double-blind, phase III trial, patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis were enrolled and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo at weeks 0 and 4. Patients initially assigned to placebo were switched to receive tildrakizumab at weeks 12, 16, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Patients in the tildrakizumab group continued with tildrakizumab at week 16, and every 12 weeks until week 52. The primary endpoint was the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) response rate at week 12.Results::At week 12, tildrakizumab demonstrated significantly higher PASI 75 response rates (66.4% [73/110] vs. 12.7% [14/110]; difference, 51.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 40.72, 62.13]; P <0.001) and Physician’s Global Assessment (60.9% [67/110] vs. 10.0% [11/110]; difference, 49.1% [95% CI, 38.64, 59.62]; P <0.001) compared to placebo. PASI 75 response continued to improve over time in both tildrakizumab and placebo-switching to tildrakizumab groups, reaching maximal efficacy after 28 weeks (86.8% [92/106] vs. 82.4% [89/108]) and maintained up to 52 weeks (91.3% [95/104] vs. 87.4% [90/103]). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild and not related to tildrakizumab. Conclusion::Tildrakizumab demonstrated durable efficacy through week 52 and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.Trial registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05108766.

Objective:To compare the difference between the Evidence Quality Grading System for Public Health Decision-making(PHE-Grading)and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development and Evaluation(GRADE)System in evaluating the quality of evidence for public health decision-making.Methods:Systematic reviews about topic"Public health"were electronically searched in the Cochrane Library database from inception to February 27,2024.EndNote 20 software was used for literature screening,Excel 2021 and SPSS 22.0 software were used for data collation and analysis,and the forest plot was drawn by RevMan 5.4.1 software.Results:A total of 61 systematic reviews were finally included for evidence quality evaluation.The forest plot of GRADE and PHE-Grading evidence grading results showed that high grade[OR:2.39,95%CI(1.21 to 4.75)],moderate grade[OR:0.40,95%CI(0.31 to 0.52)],low grade[OR:0.37,95%CI(0.29 to 0.46)],and extremely low grade[OR:85.11,95%CI(34.80 to 208.11)],and the differences in evidence quality grading results between the two systems were statistically significant.Conclusions:Compared with GRADE,PHE-Grading may be more accurate in grasping the certainty of public health decision-making evidence.Currently,the quality of public health decision-making evidence is still concentrated in low and middle level,and high-quality research still needs to be strengthened to support scientific decision-making.

Aim To study the effect of Guben Yanling pills on liver aging in aging mice and the related mech-anism.Methods The mice were randomly divided in-to blank control group,model group,vitamin E group(0.1 g·kg-1)and low,medium and high dose groups(0.59,1.17,2.34 g·kg-1)of Guben Yan-ling pills.The aging mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose(150 mg·kg-1)into the back of neck.At the same time of mod-eling,the corresponding drugs were given by gavage once a day for six weeks.The main organ indexes were calculated.HE staining was used to observe the mor-phology of liver tissue.Colorimetry was used to detect the activity of β-galactosidase in liver.ELISA was used to detect the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-6,IL-4,IL-10.Western blot was used to detect the protein relative expression level of IKKβ,Iκ Bα,NF-κB p65.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression level of NF-κB p65.Results Compared with the blank control group,the organ index of the brain,liv-er,kidney,spleen,and thymus in the model group decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the activity of β-galactosidase increased(P＜0.01),liver tissue mor-phology and structure were significantly damaged,the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β and IL-6 increased(P＜0.01),the content of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKKβ,NF-κB p65 in-creased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKBα decreased(P＜0.01),and the levels of NF-κB p65 in nucleus increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the organ indexes of brain,liver,kidney,spleen,and thymus in each dose group of Guben Yan-ling pills increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the activity of β-galactosidase decreased(P＜0.01),the morpho-logical and structural damage of liver tissue was signifi-cantly improved,the content of TNF-α,IL-1 β and IL-6 decreased(P＜0.01),the content of IL-4 and IL-10 increased(P＜0.01),the levels of IKKβ,NF-κB p65 decreased(P＜0.01),the levels of IκBα in-creased(P＜0.01),and the levels of NF-κB p65 in nucleus decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions Guben Yanling pills can antagonize liver aging in mice,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activa-tion of NF-κB signaling pathway in liver,downregulat-ing downstream pro-inflammatory factor levels,upregu-lating anti-inflammatory factor levels,and alleviating inflammation in liver.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genotyping characteristics of human fecal Escherichia coli( E. coli) and the relationships between antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and multidrug resistance (MDR) of E. coli in Miyun District, Beijing, an area with high incidence of infectious diarrheal cases but no related data. METHODS: Over a period of 3 years, 94 E. coli strains were isolated from fecal samples collected from Miyun District Hospital, a surveillance hospital of the National Pathogen Identification Network. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined by the broth microdilution method. ARGs, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and polymorphism trees were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing data (WGS). RESULTS: This study revealed that 68.09% of the isolates had MDR, prevalent and distributed in different clades, with a relatively high rate and low pathogenicity. There was no difference in MDR between the diarrheal (49/70) and healthy groups (15/24). CONCLUSION We developed a random forest (RF) prediction model of TEM.1 + baeR + mphA + mphB + QnrS1 + AAC.3-IId to identify MDR status, highlighting its potential for early resistance identification. The causes of MDR are likely mobile units transmitting the ARGs. In the future, we will continue to strengthen the monitoring of ARGs and MDR, and increase the number of strains to further verify the accuracy of the MDR markers.

The dental operative microscope has been widely employed in the field of dentistry, particularly in endodontics and operative dentistry, resulting in significant advancements in the effectiveness of root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and dental restoration. However, the improper use of this microscope continues to be common in clinical settings, primarily due to operators' insufficient understanding and proficiency in both the features and established operating procedures of this equipment. In October 2019, Professor Jingping Liang, Vice Chairman of the Society of Cariology and Endodontology, Chinese Stomatological Association, organized a consensus meeting with Chinese experts in endodontics and operative dentistry. The objective of this meeting was to establish a standard operation procedure for the dental operative microscope. Subsequently, a consensus was reached and officially issued. Over the span of about four years, the content of this consensus has been further developed and improved through practical experience.

BACKGROUND: Intensive phototherapy (IPT) and exchange transfusion (ET) are the main treatments for extreme hyperbilirubinemia. However, there is no reliable evidence on determining the thresholds for these treatments. This multicenter study compared the effectiveness and complications of IPT and ET in the treatment of extreme hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in seven centers from January 2015 to January 2018. Patients with extreme hyperbilirubinemia that met the criteria of ET were included. Patients were divided into three subgroups (low-, medium-, and high- risk) according to gestational week and risk factors. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance the data before treatment. Study outcomes included the development of bilirubin encephalopathy, duration of hospitalization, expenses, and complications. Mortality, auditory complications, seizures, enamel dysplasia, ocular motility disorders, athetosis, motor, and language development were evaluated during follow-up at age of 3 years. RESULTS: A total of 1164 patients were included in this study. After PSM, 296 patients in the IPT only group and 296 patients in the IPT plus ET group were further divided into the low-, medium-, and high-risk subgroups with 188, 364, and 40 matched patients, respectively. No significant differences were found between the IPT only and IPT plus ET groups in terms of morbidity, complications, and sequelae. Hospitalization duration and expenses were lower in the low- and medium-risk subgroups in the IPT only group. CONCLUSIONS In this study, our results suggest that IPT is a safe and effective treatment for extreme hyperbilirubinemia. The indication of ET for patients with hyperbilirubinemia could be stricter. However, it is necessary to have a contingency plan for emergency ET as soon as IPT is commenced especially for infants with risk factors. If IPT can be guaranteed and proved to be therapeutic, ET should be avoided as much as possible.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the preadmission follow-up condition of neonates hospitalized due to severe hyperbilirubinemia after discharge from the department of obstetrics and the influencing factors for follow-up compliance. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective case-control study was performed for the cases from the multicenter clinical database of 12 units in the Quality Improvement Clinical Research Cooperative Group of Neonatal Severe Hyperbilirubinemia in Jiangsu Province of China from January 2019 to April 2021. According to whether the follow-up of neonatal jaundice was conducted on time after discharge from the department of obstetrics, the neonates were divided into two groups: good follow-up compliance and poor follow-up compliance. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the influencing factors for follow-up compliance of the neonates before admission. RESULTS: A total of 545 neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia were included in the study, with 156 neonates (28.6%) in the good follow-up compliance group and 389 (71.4%) in the poor follow-up compliance group. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low gestational age at birth, ≥10% reduction in body weight on admission compared with birth weight, history of phototherapy of siblings, history of exchange transfusion of siblings, Rh(-) blood type of the mother, a higher educational level of the mother, the use of WeChat official account by medical staff to remind of follow-up before discharge from the department of obstetrics, and the method of telephone notification to remind of follow-up after discharge were associated with the increase in follow-up compliance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poor follow-up compliance is observed for the neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia after discharge from the department of obstetrics, which suggests that it is necessary to further strengthen the education of jaundice to parents before discharge and improve the awareness of jaundice follow-up. It is recommended to remind parents to follow up on time by phone or WeChat official account.
