RESUMO
In order to provide basic information for the utilization and development of famous classical formulas containing Bletillae Rhizoma， this article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， harvesting and processing of Bletillae Rhizoma by reviewing the ancient materia medica， prescription books， medical books and modern literature. The research results showed that Baiji（白及） was the main name， some scholars took Baiji（白芨） as its main name， and there were many other names such as Baiji（白给）， Baigen（白根）， Baiji（白苙）. The mainstream source of Bletillae Rhizoma was the tubers of Bletilla striata， and drying， large， white， solid， root-free and skin removed completely were the good quality standards. With the promotion of wild to cultivated medicinal materials， there were certain differences between their traits， and the quality evaluation indexes should be adjusted accordingly. The origin of records in the past dynasties was widely distributed， with Guizhou and Sichuan having high production and good quality in modern times. The harvesting period is mostly in spring and autumn， and harvested in autumn was better. The processing and processing technology is relatively simple， and it was used fresh or powdered in past dynasties， while it is mainly sliced for raw use in modern times. Based on the results， it is suggested that the tubers of Bletilla striata of Orchidaceae should be used in the famous classical formulas， and it should be uniformly written as Baiji（白及）. And if the original formula indicates the requirement of processing， it should be operated according to the requirement， if the requirement of processing is not indicated， it can be used in raw form as medicine.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Exercise improves Alzheimer's disease,dementia,and age-related cognitive abilities.A potential mediator between exercise and these health benefits may be adult hippocampal neurogenesis.Therefore,it is of great significance to explore whether and how exercise affects the adult hippocampal neurogenesis process in Alzheimer's disease mice. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of aerobic exercise on adult hippocampal neurogenesis of Alzheimer's disease mice,and to explore whether aerobic exercise can promote their adult hippocampal neurogenesis. METHODS:Three-month-old wild-type(C57BL/6Jnju)and APP/PS1 double transgenic Alzheimer's disease mice were randomly divided into four groups:wild control group,wild exercise group,Alzheimer's disease control group and Alzheimer's disease exercise group,with 20 mice in each group.The control group did not do exercise,and the exercise group did aerobic exercise for 5 months.After exercise intervention,real-time PCR,immunofluorescence and western blot assay were used to detect the expression levels of DCX,Ki67,βIII-tubulin and NeuN in the hippocampal tissue of mice in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expressions of DCX,βIII-tubulin and NeuN in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the Alzheimer's disease control group were significantly lower than those in the wild control group(P<0.05).The expressions of DCX,Ki67,βIII-tubulin and NeuN were significantly higher in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the Alzheimer's disease exercise group than those in the Alzheimer's disease control group(P<0.05).It is indicated that long-term aerobic exercise intervention can strengthen the proliferation,migration and differentiation of neurons during adult hippocampal neurogenesis and significantly increase the number of neuronal precursor cells and new neurons in Alzheimer's disease mice.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Patients with Alzheimer's disease mainly show cognitive and memory dysfunctions.Aerobic exercise can inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress and improve cognitive function of the patients.However,whether aerobic exercise can inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress dependent neuroinflammation is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. METHODS:Fifty C57BL/6J wild-type male mouse mice were randomly divided into wild-type control and wild-type exercise groups,while another 50 APP/PS1 double transgenic male mice were randomly divided into Alzheimer's disease group and Alzheimer's disease exercise group,with 25 mice in each group.Mice in the wild-type exercise and Alzheimer's disease exercise groups received aerobic exercise training(treadmill training,45 min/d,12 m/min,5 d/wk,8 weeks in total).Mice in the wild-type control and Alzheimer's disease groups were placed on the quiet running platform.Morris water maze test was used to detect the cognitive ability of mice.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining were used to detect hippocampal tissue damage in mice.Thioflavin-S staining was used to detect β-amyloid content in hippocampal tissue.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect β-amyloid and p-Tau levels in hippocampal tissue.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the number of positive cells for neuroinflammation-related factors in hippocampal tissue.Western blot was used to detect p-IRE1,IRE1,p-PERK,PERK,ATF6,GRP78,Bip,Caspase-12,Iba-1,and GFAP protein levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the wild-type control group,escape latency was increased,the number of times they reached the previous platform and the time they stayed on the platform were decreased,β-amyloid and Tau levels,p-IRE1/IRE1,p-PERK/PERK,ATF6,GRP78,Bip,Caspase-12,Iba-1,and GFAP protein levels,Iba-1+,Iba-1+TNF-α+,Iba-1+IL-6+,Iba-1+IL-1β+,GFAP+,GFAP+TNF-α+,GFAP+IL-6+,GFAP+IL-1β+ positive cells in hippocampal tissue were increased,and Iba-1+IL-4+,Iba-1+IL-10+,GFAP+IL-4+,GFAP+IL-10+ positive cells were decreased in the Alzheimer's disease group(P＜0.05).Compared with Alzheimer's disease group,escape latency was decreased,the number of times they reached the previous platform and the time they stayed on the platform were increased,β-amyloid and Tau levels,p-IRE1/IRE1,p-PERK/PERK,ATF6,GRP78,Bip,Caspase-12,Iba-1,GFAP protein levels,Iba-1+,Iba-1+TNF-α+,Iba-1+IL-6+,Iba-1+IL-1β+,GFAP+,GFAP+TNF-α+,GFAP+IL-6+,and GFAP+IL-1β+ positive cells in hippocampal tissue were decreased,and Iba-1+IL-4+,Iba-1+IL-10+,GFAP+IL-4+,GFAP+IL-10+ positive cells were increased in the Alzheimer's disease exercise group(P＜0.05).To conclude,aerobic exercise can reduce cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease mice by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and neuroinflammation in hippocampal tissue.
RESUMO
AIM: To compare the outcome of C3F8 versus silicone oil tamponade after pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)and inverted internal limiting membrane(ILM)for the treatment of highly myopic macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD).METHODS: Retrospective clinical study. Totally 45 patients(45 eyes)with highly myopic MHRD who visited our hospital between January 2019 and August 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into two groups according to different intraocular tamponade agents: C3F8(22 eyes)and silicone oil(23 eyes)groups. All patients underwent conventional three-incision PPV, ILM was tamped, a venous blood clot was placed on the tamped ILM, and 15% C3F8 and silicone oil were used as tamponade, respectively. The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), multifocal electroretinogram(mfERG), the closure of the macular hole, retinal reattachment and the complications were observed.RESULTS: The macular hole closure rate was 77% in the C3F8 group and 83% in the silicone oil group, respectively(P>0.05), and retinal reattachment rates were 95% and 96%, respectively(P>0.05). The visual acuity of the two groups significantly improved, which was 0.99±0.34 and 1.22±0.37, respectively, and the C3F8 group was better than that of the silicone oil group(t=-2.156, P=0.037). After operation, the response density of the first ring of P1 wave in the first order kernel in mfERG was 114.27±26.37 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 98.08±24.36 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, and the response density of the second ring of P1 wave was 80.45±14.94 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 67.73±15.33 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, all of which were significantly higher compared to pre-operation [the response density of the first ring of P1 wave: 58.13±13.96 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 55.30±10.48 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group, the response density of the second ring of P1 wave: 51.18±8.19 nV/deg2 for the C3F8 group and 47.43±11.97 nV/deg2 for the silicone oil group](all P<0.05). It was found that the response density of the first ring of P1 wave was lower in the silicone oil group than in the C3F8 group(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Silicone oil tamponade or C3F8 tamponade after PPV combined with ILM can both promote retinal reattachment and macular hole closure in patients with MHRD, and the C3F8 tamponade was superior to silicone oil in visual function recovery.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo characterize the efficacy components of Guizhi Jia Gegentang（GGT） in intervening influenza virus pneumonia by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. MethodBALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group and GGT group（36 g·kg-1·d-1） with six mice in each group. GGT group was continuously administered GGT extract for 5 d， while the normal group was administered an equal amount of ultrapure water. Serum and lung tissue were collected after administration， and UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS was used to characterize the prototypical and metabolic components of GGT in serum and lung tissue of mice. The components existed simultaneously in the serum and lung tissue of mice from the GGT group were defined as its functional components， and the targets of efficacy components were searched by SwissTargetPrediction database， and GeneCards database was used to query the target of influenza virus pneumonia， and then the intersection was taken to obtain potential targets of GGT for intervening in the disease. Protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis of potential targets was performed by STRING database， and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis on potential targets was performed by Metascape. ResultA total of 29 prototypical components and 28 metabolic components of GGT were detected in the drug-containing serum of mice， of which 11 prototypical components and 4 metabolic components were detected in the lung tissue of mice. The main metabolic pathways included reduction， hydroxylation， methylation， glucuronidation and sulfation. The results of PPI network and KEGG analysis showed that these functional components may act through their effects on targets such as albumin（ALB）， epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR）， steroid receptor coactivator（SRC）， Toll-like receptor 4（TLR4）， nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB and adhesion junction. ConclusionThe 11 prototypical components and 4 metabolites present simultaneously in the drug-containing serum and lung tissue of mice may be the potential therapeutic components of GGT in interfering with influenza viral pneumonia， and act through interfering with inflammatory metabolic pathways. This study can provide a reference for the mechanism study of GGT in the treatment of influenza viral pneumonia.
RESUMO
Recent studies have shown that the occurrence and development of common liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, are related to liver aging(LA). Therefore, to explore the effect and mechanism of Dahuang Zhechong Pills(DHZCP), a traditional classic prescription in improving LA with multiple targets, the present study randomly divided 24 rats into a normal group, a model group, a DHZCP group, and a vitamin E(VE) group, with six rats in each group. The LA model was induced by continuous intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose(D-gal) in rats. For the LA model rats, the general situation was evaluated by aging phenotype and body weight(BW). LA was assessed by the pathological characteristics of hepatocyte senescence, hepatic function indexes, the staining characteristics of phosphorylated histone family 2A variant(γ-H2AX), and the expression levels of cell cycle arrest proteins(P21, P53, P16) and senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP) in the liver. The activation of the reactive oxygen species(ROS)-mediated phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/forkhead box protein O4(FoxO4) signaling pathway was estimated by hepatic ROS expression feature and the protein expression levels of the key signaling molecules in the PI3K/Akt/FoxO4 signaling pathway. The results showed that after the treatment with DHZCP or VE for 12 weeks, for the DHZCP and VE groups, the characterized aging phenotype, BW, pathological characteristics of hepatocyte senescence, hepatic function indexes, relative expression of ROS in the liver, protein expression levels of key signaling molecules including p-PI3K, p-Akt, and FoxO4 in the liver, staining characteristics of γ-H2AX, and the protein expression levels of P16, P21, P53, interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the liver were improved, and the effects of DHZCP and VE were similar. Based on the D-gal-induced LA model in rats, this study demonstrates that DHZCP can ameliorate LA with multiple targets in vivo, and its effects and mechanism are related to regulating the activation of the ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt/FoxO4 signaling pathway in the liver. These findings are expected to provide new pharmacological evidence for the treatment of DHZCP in aging-related liver diseases.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of Dong's extraordinary point needling technique on postoperative complications of anal fistula.@*METHODS@#A total of 241 patients undergoing anal fistula surgery were randomly divided into an observation group (121 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and a control group (120 cases, 2 cases dropped off). The patients in the control group were treated with intramuscular injection of compound diclofenac sodium injection and oral administration of tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained release capsules. In addition to the treatment in the control group, the patients in the observation group were treated with Daoma needling technique at the "Sanqi points" (Qimen point, Qijiao point, and Qizheng point) combined with Dongqi needling technique at "Sanhuang points" (sub-Tianhuang point, Dihuang point, Renhuang point), with each session lasting 30 min. The treatment in the two groups both started on the first day after surgery, and was given once daily for 14 consecutive days. Visual analog scale (VAS) score was compared between the two groups on postoperative day 1, 7, and 14; bladder residual urine volume, spontaneous voiding volume, and urinary catheterization frequency were assessed after treatment on postoperative day 1; and anorectal dynamic indexes (anal canal resting pressure, rectal resting pressure, maximum squeeze pressure of the anal canal, and minimum rectal sensory threshold) were evaluated before surgery and on postoperative day 4. Clinical efficacy was assessed in both groups one month after surgery.@*RESULTS@#On postoperative day 7 and 14, the VAS scores of both groups were lower than those on postoperative day 1 (P<0.05), and the VAS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The bladder residual urine volume and urinary catheterization frequency in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the spontaneous voiding volume was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). On postoperative day 4, the anal canal resting pressure, maximum squeeze pressure of the anal canal, and the minimum rectal sensory threshold were lower than preoperative values (P<0.05), while the rectal resting pressure was higher than preoperative value (P<0.05) in both groups. The anal canal resting pressure, maximum squeeze pressure of the anal canal, and minimum rectal sensory threshold were lower than those in the control group, and the rectal resting pressure was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The effective rate was 93.2% (110/118) in the observation group, which was higher than 84.7% (100/118) in the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Dong's extraordinary point needling technique could reduce postoperative pain, alleviate urinary retention, and improve defecation in patients undergoing anal fistula surgery.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and the level of blood lipids among Tajik people in Pamir Plateau, Xinjiang, and explore the related factors of dyslipidemia. Methods: It is a retrospective cross-sectional study. A multi-stage cluster random sampling survey was conducted among 5 635 Tajiks over 18 years old in Tashkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang Province from May to October 2021. Data were collected through questionnaire survey (general information, medical history, and personal history), physical examination (height, weight, waist, and blood pressure) and blood test (total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density cholesterol (HDL-C)) to analyze the dyslipidemia and its risk factors among Tajiks. Results: The age of Tajik participants was (41.9±15.0) years, including 2 726 males (48.4%). The prevalence of borderline high TC, high LDL-C and high TG levels were 17.2%, 14.7% and 8.9%, respectively. The prevalence of high TC, high LDL-C, high TG and low HDL-C were 4.1%, 4.9%, 9.4% and 32.4%, respectively, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 37.0%. There is a positive correlation between male,higher education level, higher body mass index (BMI) value,waist circumference, living in town, smoking and dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The low prevalence of high TC, high LDL-C, high TG and high prevalence of low HDL-C was a major characteristic of Tajik people in Pamir Plateau of Xinjiang. The lower rates of overweight and obesity may be one of the reasons for the lower prevalence of dyslipidemia among Tajik.

Although hemorrhage after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） is mostly mild and self－limited， sometimes blood transfusion and endoscopic hemostasis are still needed. However， rebleeding may occur after conventional endoscopic hemostasis and thus requires interventional vascular embolization or surgical intervention， which might significantly increase the risk of death associated with post－ERCP bleeding. This article discusses the risk factors for post－ERCP bleeding， including disease－specific factors， patient－related factors， and operation－related factors， and elaborates on different measures for the prevention and treatment of post－ERCP bleeding， so as to provide a reference for identifying the high－risk population for bleeding and developing precise surgical strategies in clinical practice.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the effect of vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on the prevention of post-vitrectomy epiretinal membrane (ERM) in macular-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and its influence on visual outcomes.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.Seventy-four patients (74 eyes) with macular-off RRD, who realized retinal reattachment after vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade from January 2015 to January 2018 in Baoding NO.1 Central Hospital, were enrolled.The patients were divided into the non-ILM peeling group (36 cases, 36 eyes) and ILM peeling group (38 cases, 38 eyes) according to whether they received ILM peeling or not.The patients underwent silicone oil removal within 3 to 5 months after the surgery.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp microscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were examined before and at 1, 6 and 12 months after the surgery.This study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Baoding NO.1 Central Hospital (No.[2019]042). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient.Results:There was no ERM found in the two groups at 1 month after the operation.There were 3 eyes (8.33%) with ERM in the non-ILM peeling group and 2 eyes (5.26%) in the ILM peeling group at 6 months after the operation, with no statistically significant difference between them ( P=0.067). There were 9 eyes (25.00%) with ERM in the non-ILM peeling group and 4 eyes (10.53%) in the ILM peeling group at 12 months postoperatively, with no statistically significant difference between them ( χ2=2.674, P=0.102). There was a significant difference in BCVA between before and after the operation in the two groups ( Ftime=31.692, P<0.001). Postoperative 1-, 6-and 12-month BCVA were all significantly better than the preoperative BCVA in the two groups (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BCVA between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.117, P=0.773). OCT images showed that there were 25 eyes (77.78%) and 30 eyes (78.95%) with the intact ellipsoid zone in the non-ILM peeling group and ILM peeling group at 12 months after the operation, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between them ( χ2=0.875, P=0.350). Conclusions:Compared with vitrectomy alone, the vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling does not show better efficacy in the prevention of ERM occurrence in macula-off RRD patients and has no obvious influence on postoperative visual acuity.

RESUMO
Objective:To observe the clinical effects of intraperitoneal perfusion of bevacizumab combined with albumin paclitaxel and carboplatin in the treatment of malignant peritoneal adhesion caused by ovarian cancer.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2020, 54 patients treated in our hospital with malignant peritoneal adhesions caused by ovarian cancer were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=27) and control group ( n=27) according to the random number table method. The treatment regimen of the experimental group was intravenous infusion of albumin paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal infusion of carboplatin and bevacizumab. The treatment regimen of the control group was intra-venous infusion of albumin paclitaxel plus intraperitoneal infusion of carboplatin. The treatment was repeated every 21 days, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated every two cycles. The treatment lasted for six cycles. The efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The remission rate of incomplete malignant bowel obstruction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [85.19% (23/27) vs. 59.26% (16/27)], the total effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [74.07% (20/27) vs. 44.44% (12/27)], and there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=4.523, P=0.033; χ2=4.909, P=0.027). After treatment, the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ascites of the experimental group and the control group were significantly lower than those before treatment [(80.33±1.41) pg/ml vs. (310.45±3.35) pg/ml, t=449.884, P<0.001; (135.68±1.60) pg/ml vs. (310.46±3.09) pg/ml, t=499.281, P<0.001], and after treatment, the VEGF level in the experimental group decreased more significantly than that in the control group ( t=-134.907, P<0.001). Patients in the experimental group and the control group tolerated the treatment well, and there were no significant differences in the incidences of adverse reactions such as hypertension (11.11% vs. 3.70%, χ2=0.270, P=0.603), neutropenia (14.81% vs. 11.11%, χ2<0.001, P>0.999), peripheral neuropathy (3.70% vs. 0, χ2<0.001, P>0.999), diarrhea (7.41% vs. 3.70%, χ2<0.001, P>0.999), nausea (3.70% vs. 0, χ2<0.001, P>0.999), epistaxis (7.41% vs. 0, χ2=0.519, P=0.471) or albuminuria (3.70% vs. 0, χ2<0.001, P>0.999) between the two groups. Conclusion:Intraperitoneal perfusion of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy is superior to simple chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant peritoneal adhesion caused by ovarian cancer.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Renqing Changjue has a protective effect on acute respiratory dis?tress syndrome (ARDS) induced by endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rabbits. METHODS Thirty-six healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into six groups: normal control group, model group, dexamethasone group, Renqing Changjue high, middle and low dose group, with six rabbits in each group. LPS was used to replicate the ARDS model after five consecutive days of gavage. Arterial pressure, respiratory rate and anal temperature blood were recorded for arterial blood gas analysis at 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h, respectively. At the end of the four-hour experiment, rab?bits were killed by bloodletting, and the lung tissue was quickly removed to determine the cytokines, SOD, MDA and pathological examination of rabbit lung. RESULTS Renqing Changjue can significantly reduce the pathological changes of lung in ARDS model group. The expression of AQP1 and MPO in rabbit lung was significantly decreased by immuno?histochemistry (P<0.05) ,reduce the lung wet/dry weight ratio, increase the ratio of PaO2/FiO2, inhibit the release of inflammatory factors and scavenge free radicals and antioxidant effects. CONCLUSION Renqing Changjue can effec?tively protect rabbits with acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by LPS, and may protect the lung by inhibiting the release of cytokines and anti-oxidation.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the preventive efficacy of pirfenidone in esophageal stent-related restenosis and the related underlying mechanisms.Methods:Twenty-four rats underwent esophageal stent placement were included in this study. The rats were randomly assigned to three groups, with 8 rats in each group. The three groups were set to receive placebo, 150 mg/kg pirfenidone and 300 mg/kg pirfenidone daily by oral administration for 28 days, respectively. Twenty-eight days after stent placement, the stented esophagi were harvested for histological examinations. The number of epithelial layers, the thickness of submucosal fibrosis, the percentage of granulation tissue area, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition, and the α-SMA staining scores were evaluated. One-way ANOVA was performed for the statistical comparison of the number of epithelial layers, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition and the α-SMA staining scores among these three groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of the thickness of submucosal fibrosis and the percentage of granulation tissue area among the three groups. Results:Gross pathological findings showed that both pirfenidone groups had significantly less luminal fibrotic tissue formation and restenosis than placebo group. The percentage of granulation tissue areas in placebo group, 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg pirfenidone groups were 57.23%±25.68%, 21.80%±6.65% and 12.18%±6.37%, respectively. Both pirfenidone groups showed significantly less granulation tissue areas than placebo group ( P<0.01). The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, the degree of collagen deposition and the α-SMA staining scores were 3.28±0.55, 3.38±0.63 and 2.75±0.38 in placebo group, 2.30±0.46, 2.36±0.58 and 2.00±0.42 in 150 mg/kg pirfenidone group, and 1.86±0.38, 1.91±0.41 and 1.57±0.28 in 300 mg/kg pirfenidone group, respectively. Both pirfenidone groups showed significantly less inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition and α-SMA staining scores than placebo group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Pirfenidone can suppress esophageal stent-related restenosis in rats by significantly inhibiting inflammation, myofibroblast activation and proliferation, and fibrotic tissue formation.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the changes of metamorphopsia in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) who underwent primary vitrectomy and to analyze the correlation between macular microstructure changes and metamorphopsia.Methods:It was a retrospective clinical study. From January 2017 to January 2019, 57 patients (57 eyes) with RRD were examined and diagnosed in the Department of Ophthalmology of Baoding First Central Hospital were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent 23G PPV. All patients had retinal anatomical reduction after the first PPV. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, slit-lamp microscope, indirect ophthalmoscope, changes of metamorphopsia, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were examined before PPV and 1, 6, 12 months after the operation. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into a logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for the record. The macular fovea retinal thickness (CRT) was measured by Carl Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT5000 instrument from Carl Zeiss Company, Germany, and the microstructural changes in the macular area were recorded, including the presence of the anterior macular membrane (ERM), cystic macular edema (CME), subretinal fluid (SRF), and the integrity of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and outer membrane (ELM). The value of metamorphopsia (M value) was measured by the M-Chart table. The changes of BCVA, M value, and the microstructure of the macular area before and after operation were analyzed. The correlation between BCVA and M value was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the changes of macular microstructure and BCVA and M values.Results:The mean logMAR BCVA before the operation was 1.15±0.43. At 1, 6, and 12 months after the operation, the mean logMAR BCVA was 0.62±0.17, 0.39±0.18, and 0.34±0.13, respectively. The visual acuity improved significantly after operation compared with before operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=119.731, P=0.000). The mean CRT before the operation was 476.0±104.1 μm. At 1, 6, and 12 months after the operation, the average CRT were 299.8±29.9, 272.2±17.8, and 261.0±19.3 μm, respectively. The average CRT after the operation was significantly lower than those before the operation ( F=185.518, P=0.000). At 1, 6, and 12 months after the operation, the mean M values were 0.62±0.54, 0.43±0.41, and 0.32±0.36, respectively; the difference was statistically significant ( F=6.568, P=0.020). After the operation, 48 eyes (84.2%, 48/57) had microstructural abnormalities in the macular area, including EZ and ELM integrity disruption, SRF, CME, and ERM. Correlation analysis showed that M value was significantly positively correlated with BCVA, CRT, and SRF height before operation ( r/ rs=0.672, 0.385, 0.932; P<0.05). There was no correlation between M value and BCVA ( r/ rs=0.503), EZ and ELM integrity ( r/ rs=0.497, 0.472), SRF ( r/ rs=0.416), CME ( r/ rs=0.821) and ERM ( r/ rs=0.632) after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The BCVA is significantly increased and the metamorphopsia is improved after anatomically successful RRD surgery. Postoperative M value is highly correlated with preoperative BCVA, CRT, and SRF.

Ablation is one of the important treatment methods for liver cancer, and standard ablation techniques, scientific and rational therapeutic strategy, and close teamwork are important premises for a good clinical effect. Although the efficacy of ablation therapy for liver cancer has gradually increased with the continuous improvement of ablation techniques, there remains a high tumor recurrence rate, and therefore, there is an urgent need for the therapeutic strategies that can improve the efficacy of ablation therapy for liver cancer and the prognosis of patients. Establishment of a diverse team for liver cancer ablation is a new concept put forward on the basis of a conventional team for liver cancer ablation to meet the requirements of ablation therapy for liver cancer. Since a diverse team for liver cancer ablation has potential advantages over a conventional team, it may be a promising mode for establishing a team for liver cancer ablation.
