Objective:To explore the distribution of allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) for children with atopic dermatitis in Tianjin City and provide the evidences of clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of atopic dermatitis and tested for serum sIgE in the Tianjin Children′s Hospital from March 2021 to February 2023. Using first detection results only, a total of 1 841 serum samples were tested for twenty common allergens. The method was the enzyme-linked immune capture assay. The allergen epidemiological characteristics were statistically analyzed by Chi square test based on the children′s characteristics and factors such as different sexes, ages and seasons by the mass data.Results:Among the 1 841 cases, the results showed that 1 247 (67.73%) were sensitized to at least 1 allergen-sIgE, comprising to 49.86% (918/1 841) to food allergen-sIgE and 47.96% (883/1 841) to aeroallergen-sIgE. The top three food allergens-sIgE were egg 32.10% (591/1 841), milk 25.91% (477/1 841) and wheat flour 14.61% (269/1 841); the top three positive rates of aeroallergens-sIgE were house dust 24.33% (448/1 841), alternaria 20.59% (379/1 841) and dermatophagoides farinae 14.83% (273/1 841). The positive rates of food allergens-sIgE were the highest in the 1-3 years old group (64.11%, 434/677) ( χ2=122.854, P<0.001), while the positive rates of aeroallergens-sIgE were higher in the 11-14 years old group (71.26%, 62/87) ( χ2=134.968, P<0.001). No seasonal difference was revealed in the overall positive rate of food allergen-sIgE and aeroallergen-sIgE ( χ2=4.047, P=0.256; χ2=7.549, P=0.056). The positive rates of soybean-sIgE and milk-sIgE were the highest in summer ( χ2=11.329, P=0.010; χ2=28.720 , P<0.001), whereas alternaria-sIgE and mugwort-sIgE were the highest in summer and autumn, respectively ( χ2=8.462, P=0.037; χ2=10.641 , P=0.014). Among the 1 841 cases, 32.21% were sensitized to three or more allergens-sIgE. The sIgE concentration levels of egg, milk and house dust were mainly level 1 to 2, and the proportions of level 3 and above were all under 15%; although the positive rates of crab, shrimp, and peanut were low, the proportions of grade 3 and above were all beyond 30%. Children sensitized to alternaria, dermatophagoides farinae, mugwort, and cat dander had higher sIgE concentration levels, which were 68.07%, 49.45%, 56.57% and 47.83% respectively. Conclusions:This study can reflect the epidemic characteristics of allergen-sIgE in children with atopic dermatitis in Tianjin region to a certain extent. Allergen-sIgE positivity in patients differed by age, and there were seasonal differences and grade distribution differences in the positive rates of some allergens-sIgE. It is necessary to reasonably avoid the high-risk allergens according to the epidemiological characteristics and clinical symptoms, which provide valuable information for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To explore the effects of Xuebijing injection and its component hydroxysafflor yellow A on coagulation and survival rates of septic rats.Methods:① Assessment of coagulation: 144 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups by random number table: sham group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) induced sepsis model group (CLP group), CLP+Xuebijing group, and CLP+hydroxysafflor yellow A group, with 36 rats in each group. CLP was used for reproducing septic models. The cecum of the rats in the sham group was exposed by laparotomy and then returned to the abdominal cavity without CLP, while the other steps were the same as those in the CLP group. Rats in the CLP+Xuebijing group and CLP+hydroxysafflor yellow A group were injected with Xuebijing (4 mL/kg, twice a day) or hydroxysafflor yellow A solution (0.378 g/L, 298 μg each time, twice a day) through caudal vein after operation. Levels of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fib), and D-dimer in peripheral blood were measured by automatic coagulation analyzer at 6, 12, 24 hours after operation. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to determine levels of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) in peripheral blood. ② Analysis of survival rates: 120 rats were divided into four groups by random number table (the same groups with those in the section of assessment of coagulation), with 30 rats in each group. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted, and the cumulative survival rates were observed and recorded for 7 days after CLP surgery.Results:① Results of coagulation assessment: compared with the sham group, septic rats in the CLP group showed significant dysfunction in coagulation early, as evidenced by prolonged PT at 6 hours after CLP (s: 8.9±0.2 vs. 8.4±0.4, P < 0.01), and significantly increased levels of Fib, D-dimer, TFPI and sTM [Fib (g/L): 2.8±0.3 vs. 2.3±0.1, D-dimer (ng/L): 1.8±0.2 vs. 1.5±0.1, TFPI (ng/L): 131.1±10.9 vs. 102.8±10.5, sTM (μg/L): 27.2±1.2 vs. 19.8±2.9, all P < 0.01]. The coagulation dysfunction became more and more serious at 12 hours after operation, and further deteriorated with time. The use of both Xuebijing and hydroxysafflor yellow A revealed significant improvement in coagulation of septic rats at 6 hours, as shown by shortened PT (s: 8.3±0.2, 8.3±0.1 vs. 8.9±0.2, both P < 0.01), and decreased Fib, D-dimer, TFPI and sTM as compared with those in the CLP group [Fib (g/L): 2.3±0.1, 2.3±0.2 vs. 2.8±0.3; D-dimer (ng/L): 1.5±0.1, 1.5±0.2 vs. 1.8±0.2; TFPI (ng/L): 109.5±10.2, 91.5±5.0 vs. 131.1±10.9; sTM (μg/L): 22.3±1.5, 21.1±1.8 vs. 27.2±1.2; all P < 0.01]. However, there was no significant difference in coagulation function between the two intervention groups. ② Results of survival rates analysis: the rats in the sham group all survived 7 days after operation. The 7-day cumulative survival rate of the CLP group was only 36.67% (11/30). Compared with the CLP group, the cumulative survival rates were significantly increased in rats of the CLP+Xuebijing group and CLP+hydroxysafflor yellow A group [66.67% (20/30), 66.67% (20/30) vs. 36.67% (11/30), both P < 0.05], but no significant difference was found between the CLP+Xuebijing group and CLP+hydroxysafflor yellow A group. Conclusion:Both Xuebijing and its component hydroxysafflor yellow A appear to be capable of alleviating coagulation disorders and improving survival rates of septic rats effectively, and the effects show no significant difference between them.

Objective:To explore the influence of Xuebijing injection (hereinafter referred to as Xuebijing) and its component paeoniflorin on immune function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) of spleen and survival rate of septic rats.Methods:(1) CD4 + CD25 + Tregs and CD4 + T cells were isolated and purified from spleens of three 9 to 12 weeks old Sprague-Dawley male rats (the same age, breed, and gender below) by immunomagnetic beads. According to the random number table (the same grouping method below), CD4 + CD25 + Tregs were divided into blank control group, simple CD3/CD28 group, simple endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, LPS+ Xuebijing group, and LPS+ paeoniflorin group, with 6 wells in each group. The cells in simple CD3/CD28 group, simple LPS group, LPS+ Xuebijing group, and LPS+ paeoniflorin group were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing fetal bovine serum in volume fraction of 10%, 1.25 μg CD3, and 2.5 μg CD28 for 24 hours. Then 1 μg/mL LPS in the volume of 1 μL was added to the cells in simple LPS group, LPS+ Xuebijing group, and LPS+ paeoniflorin group. Moreover, 5 mg/mL Xuebijing in the volume of 1 μL and 80 μmol/L paeoniflorin in the volume of 1 μL were added to the cells in LPS+ Xuebijing group and LPS+ paeoniflorin group, respectively, which were cultured for another 72 hours. Cells in blank control group were routinely cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing fetal bovine serum in volume fraction of 10% for 96 hours. The expressions of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and forkhead wing-link transcription factor 3 (Foxp3) and apoptosis of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs were measured by flow cytometry. The interleukin-10 (IL-10) level from culture supernatant of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CD4 + T cells were divided into blank control′ group, simple CD3/CD28′ group, simple LPS′ group, LPS+ Xuebijing′ group, and LPS+ paeoniflorin′ group, with 6 wells in each group. After being cocultured with the corresponding CD4 + CD25 + Tregs treated as before for 72 hours, the proliferative activity of CD4 + T cells was measured by flow cytometry, and IL-4 level from culture supernatant of CD4 + T cells was determined by ELISA. (2) One hundred and twenty rats were divided into sham surgery group, simple sepsis group, sepsis+ Xuebijing group, and sepsis+ paeoniflorin group, with 30 rats in each group. The septic rat model was reproduced by cecal ligation and puncture surgery in simple sepsis group, sepsis+ Xuebijing group, and sepsis+ paeoniflorin group. In sham surgery group, the rats were only performed with laparotomy to simulate surgery. In sepsis+ Xuebijing group, the rats were given post-surgical injection of 4 mL/kg Xuebijing through tail vein, twice a day. In sepsis+ paeoniflorin group, the rats received 978 μg paeoniflorin via tail vein, twice a day. The survival rates of rats in the four groups on post surgery day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 were observed and recorded. The surviving cure of Kaplan-Meier was drawn. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference t test. The surviving curve was analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. Results:(1) Compared with those in blank control group, the expressions of CTLA-4 and Foxp3 of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs ( t=27.19, 17.00, P<0.01) and IL-10 level from culture supernatant ( t=40.76, P<0.01) were significantly increased in rats in simple LPS group. Compared with those in simple LPS group, the expressions of CTLA-4 and Foxp3 of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs ( tLPS+ Xuebijing group=31.03, 11.27, tLPS+ paeoniflorin group=5.79, 5.64, P<0.01) and IL-10 level from culture supernatant ( t=15.49, 4.20, P<0.01) was significantly decreased in LPS+ Xuebijing group and LPS+ paeoniflorin group. Compared with that in blank control group, the apoptosis rate of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs in simple LPS group was significantly declined ( t=6.02, P<0.01). Compared with the rate in simple LPS group, the apoptosis rates of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs in LPS+ Xuebijing group and LPS+ paeoniflorin group were significantly increased ( t=20.32, 8.60, P<0.01). (2) Compared with those in simple CD3/CD28′ group, the proliferative rate of CD4 + T cells was significantly decreased in simple LPS′ group ( t=22.47, P<0.01), while IL-4 level from culture supernatant was significantly elevated ( t=3.51, P<0.01). Compared with those in simple LPS′ group, the proliferative rates of CD4 + T cells in LPS+ Xuebijing′ group and LPS+ paeoniflorin′ group were significantly increased ( t=16.31, 11.48, P<0.01), while IL-4 level from culture supernatant showed no obvious change. (3) The post-operative 7-day survival rates of rats in sham surgery group, simple sepsis group, sepsis+ Xuebijing group, sepsis+ paeoniflorin group were 100% (30/30), 30% (9/30), 57% (17/30), and 47% (14/30), respectively. Compared with that in simple sepsis group, the survival rate within post-operative 7-day of rats in sepsis+ Xuebijing group was significantly higher ( χ2=4.34, P<0.05), while the survival rate within post-operative 7-day of rats in sepsis+ paeoniflorin group showed no obvious change. Conclusions:Both Xuebijing and its component paeoniflorin are capable of reversing sepsis-induced inhibitory immune function and apoptotic resistant of Tregs in rats, and further improving the proliferative activity of T cells. In addition, the effect of paeoniflorin on improvement of survival rate of rats with sepsis is weaker than Xuebijing.

Although the clinical definitions of sepsis and recommended treatments are regularly updated, a systematic review has not been done for preclinical models. To address this deficit, a Wiggers-Bernard Conference on preclinical sepsis modeling reviewed the 260 most highly cited papers between 2003 and 2012 using sepsis models to create a series of recommendations. This PartⅡreport provides recommendations for the types of infections and documentation of organ injury in preclinical sepsis models. Concerning the types of infections, the review showed that the cecal ligation and puncture model was used for 44% of the studies while 40% injected endotoxin. Recommendation #8 (numbered sequentially from PartⅠ): endotoxin injection should not be considered as a model of sepsis; live bacteria or fungal strains derived from clinical isolates are more appropriate. Recommendation #9: microorganisms should replicate those typically found in human sepsis. Sepsis-3 states that sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, but the review of the papers showed limited attempts to document organ dysfunction. Recommendation #10: organ dysfunction definitions should be used in preclinical models. Recommendation #11: not all activities in an organ/system need to be abnormal to verify organ dysfunction. Recommendation #12: organ dysfunction should be measured in an objective manner using reproducible scoring systems. Recommendation #13: not all experiments must measure all parameters of organ dysfunction, but investigators should attempt to fully capture as much information as possible. These recommendations are proposed as "best practices" for animal models of sepsis.

Preclinical animal studies are mandatory before new treatments can be tested in clinical trials. However, their use in developing new therapies for sepsis has been controversial because of limitations of the models and inconsistencies with the clinical conditions. In consideration of the revised definition for clinical sepsis and septic shock (Sepsis-3), a Wiggers-Bernard Conference was held in Vienna in May 2017 to propose standardized guidelines on preclinical sepsis modeling. The participants conducted a literature review of 260 most highly cited scientific articles on sepsis models published between 2003 and 2012. The review showed, for example, that mice were used in 79% and euthanasia criteria were defined in 9% of the studies. PartⅠof this report details the recommendations for study design and humane modeling endpoints that should be addressed in sepsis models. The first recommendation is that survival follow-up should reflect the clinical time course of the infectious agent used in the sepsis model. Furthermore, it is recommended that therapeutic interventions should be initiated after the septic insult replicating clinical care. To define an unbiased and reproducible association between a new treatment and outcome, a randomization and blinding of treatments as well as inclusion of all methodological details in scientific publications is essential. In all preclinical sepsis studies, the high standards of animal welfare must be implemented. Therefore, development and validation of specific criteria for monitoring pain and distress, and euthanasia of septic animals, as well as the use of analgesics are recommended. A set of four considerations is also proposed to enhance translation potential of sepsis models. Relevant biological variables and comorbidities should be included in the study design and sepsis modeling should be extended to mammalian species other than rodents. In addition, the need for source control (in case of a defined infection focus) should be considered. These recommendations and considerations are proposed as "best practices" for animal models of sepsis that should be implemented.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge repair for delaminated rotator cuff tear which is difficult to reposit in comparison with separate double-layer repair and whole-layer repair.Methods From May 2013 through June 2016,82 patients with delaminated rotator cuff tear difficult to reposit were treated at Department of Joint Surgery,The Affiliate Hospital to Chengde Medical University.They were 47 males and 35 females with a mean age of 53.0 ± 7.9 years.They were divided into 3 groups according to their surgical procedures.In group A,28 cases were treated by arthroscopic whole-layer double-row suture-bridge procedure;in group B,29 cases were treated by arthroscopic separate double-layer double-row suture-bridge procedure;in group C,25 cases were treated by arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge procedure.The 3 groups were compared in terms of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,visual analogue scale (VAS),Constant shoulder score,range of motion of shoulder joint and rotator cuff retear preoperatively and postoperatively.Results The patients in the 3 groups were comparable because their preoperative general data showed no significant significances (P > 0.05).The operation time for groups A,B and C was respectively 105.5 ±5.6 min,117.4 ±6.9 min and 88.0 ±4.2 min,showing significant differences between the 3 groups (P < 0.05).The 82 patients were followed up for 21 to 24 months (average,23.3 months).At 24 months postoperatively,UCLA,ASES,VAS,Constant score,shoulder anteflexion and lateral extorsion were respectively 32.4 ± 2.5,12.8 ± 0.9,1.0 ± 1.1,93.4 ± 5.6,158.3° ± 9.3°and 58.9°±5.0°in group A,32.2±2.5,12.9±1.0,0.9±1.0,92.8±6.0,156.4°±9.5°and 59.3°± 5.6° in groups B,and32.4±2.4,12.9±0.9,0.7±0.9,94.3±5.2,156.0°±9.5°and57.6°°5.4°in group C,showing no significant differences between the 3 groups (P > 0.05).The occurrence of rotator cuff retear in groups A,B and C were respectively 17.9% (5/28),13.8% (4/29) and 12.0% (3/25),showing no significant differences between the 3 groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions In repair of delaminated rotator cuff tear difficult to reposit,although the arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge repair is similar to conventional arthroscopic whole-layer double-row suture-bridge repair and arthroscopic separate double-layer double-row suture-bridge repair in functional recovery and range of motion of the shoulder and incidence of rotator cuff retear,it can reduce obviously operation time and make the operation easier.
