Helicobacter pylori(HP)infection is a Class Ⅰ carcinogen in gastric cancer,closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer.Many studies have shown that HP eradication has a preventive effect on gastric cancer.However,2.7%-6.1%of patients with early gastric cancer who have been eradicated after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)can still develop metachronous gastric cancer(MGC),and the mechanism of its occurrence is still unclear.In this review,the atrophy of gastric mucosa and intestinal metaplasia cannot be completely reversed after HP eradication,the excessive proliferation of gastric mucosa epithelial cells,the accumulation of genetic abnormalities,the homeostasis imbalance of the epigenetic group,changes in immune microenvironment,the abnormality of stem cells in gastric mucosa,chromatin accessibility,and changes in chromosome remodeling were discussed in the mechanism of carcinogenesis caused by the above molecular changes after ESD and HP eradication in early gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the changes of metabonomics in blood of mice after high-voltage electric shock,then screen out the significantly changed differential metabolites and metabolic pathways.Methods The head of C57BL/6J mice was subjected to high-voltage electric shock(electric shock group)or exposed to acoustic and optical stimulation of high-voltage electric(control group),then the whole blood from mice were collected to separate serum.The dual platform combined metabonomic analysis based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS)and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer(LC-MS)was performed and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)was used to screen the differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways.Results A total of 415 differential metabolites were screened out in metabonomics in blood of mice after high-voltage electric shock,including 187 up-regulated and 228 down-regulated metabolites.These differentially metabolites were significantly enriched in metabolic pathways including central carbon metabolism in cancer,glucagon signaling pathway,etc.Conclusion By establishing the model of high-voltage electrical injury on experimental mice,this study reveals the significant change of metabolite content and metabolic pathway in blood by high-voltage electrical injury.Which provides a basis for the damage of blood metabolic activity by high-voltage electrical injury,and suggests the potential harm of high-voltage electrical injury to blood metabolic activity in the whole body.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To investigate the relation between rs2298771 genotype in voltage-gated sodium channels 1A ( SCN1A) polymorphism and antiepileptic drug (AED) response in children with epilepsy. Methods:Sixty-two children with epilepsy admitted to Department of Neurology, Zhangjiakou First Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023 were divided into AED response group and AED resistance group ( n=31) according to their response to AED. In addition, 31 children with pharyngitis or mild gastroenteritis admitted to Department of Pediatrics at the same period were selected as control group. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the rs2298771 genotype in SCN1A polymorphism, and differences in rs2298771 genotype and allele in SCN1A polymorphism were compared among the 3 groups. Relation between rs2298771 genotype in SCN1A polymorphism and AED response was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors for AED response in children with epilepsy. Results:(1) Significant differences in type of first seizure and AEDs were noted between AED response group and AED resistance group ( P<0.05); compared with the AED resistance group, the AED response group had significantly lower seizure frequency, significantly longer duration after last seizure, and statistically higher proportions of children with normal EEG or with one kind of AED ( P?0.05). (2) Compared with the control group and AED response group, the AED resistance group had significantly higher rs2298771 GC genotype and G allele, and statistically lower rs2298771 AA genotype and A allele in SCN1A polymorphism ( P?0.05). (3) In the AED response group, rs2298771 AA and AG genotype in SCN1A polymorphism were positively correlated with levetiracetam ( P?0.05); in AED resistance group, rs2298771 AG genotype in SCN1A polymorphism was positively correlated with topiramate and valproic acid ( P<0.05). (4) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that duration after last seizure ( OR=3.249, 95% CI=1.097-9.621, P=0.033), rs2298771 genotype in SCN1A polymorphism ( OR=9.660, 95% CI=4.680-19.970, P=0.011) and seizure frequency ( OR=0.160, 95% CI=0.032-0.804, P=0.026) were independent influencing factors for AED response in children with epilepsy. Conclusion:Epilepsy children with shorter duration after last seizure, rs2298771 GG genotype in SCN1A polymorphism, and high seizure frequency are susceptible to AED resistance; especially, AG genotype is correlated with topiramate and valproic acid.

The concept of'harmony'is the soul of traditional Chinese culture,which has a profound impact on the formation and development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).TCM is rooted in traditional Chinese culture,and the mode of thinking in TCM is in line with traditional Chinese culture.Based on the harmony culture,TCM has developed a unique view of health,disease and therapeutics.From the view of the harmony culture and by combining with years of clinical experience in treating dermatosis,Chinese medical master XUAN Guo-Wei has applied the concept of'harmony'in the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment system in clinic,and has developed the academic thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatosis.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins includes four aspects,namely harmonizing yin and yang,harmonizing healthy qi and pathogenic qi,harmonizing water and fire(i.e.,clod and hot),and harmonizing the administration of formula and drugs,aiming to remove toxins and expel pathogens and value the harmony.The thoughts of harmonizing therapy for removing toxins will beneficial to the comprehensive understanding of the unique health-disease-therapeutics concept in TCM,and will be helpful for managing the doctor-patient relationship,which is of enlightening significance to the modern clinical practice with TCM.
