RESUMO
SUMMARY: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a potentially fatal reaction to various forms of tissue damage and infections that cause damage to various organs. Furthermore, the brain is damaged earlier than other organs, resulting in diffuse brain dysfunction. The central clinical symptom of SIRS is delirium and emotional changes are involved in disease development. Although the amygdala is known to play a major role, the mechanisms underlying emotional changes in the early stages of SIRS have not been elucidated. Therefore, changes to dopamine levels in the amygdala were observed using an in vivo model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- induced SIRS to clarify the biochemical mechanisms activated in the early stages of SIRS. Extracellular dopamine was collected from the amygdala of free moving rats via microdialysis and then analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. In addition, emotional changes were assessed with the open field and sucrose preference tests. In the LPS group, dopamine release in the amygdala increased remarkably immediately after LPS administration, peaking at 120 min. Thereafter, dopamine release temporarily decreased, but then significantly increased again after 180 min. The present results suggest that diffuse brain dysfunction in the early stages of SIRS may involve altered dopamine levels in the amygdala.
El síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica (SRIS) es una reacción potencialmente fatal a diversas formas de daño tisular e infecciones que causan injuria a varios órganos. Además, el cerebro se daña antes que otros órganos, lo que provoca una disfunción cerebral difusa. El síntoma clínico central del SIRS es el delirio y los cambios emocionales están involucrados en el desarrollo de la enfermedad. Aunque se sabe que la amígdala desempeña un papel importante, no se han dilucidado los mecanismos que subyacen a los cambios emocionales en las primeras etapas del SRIS. Por lo tanto, en el estudio se provocaron cambios en los niveles de dopamina en la amígdala utilizando un modelo in vivo de SRIS inducido por lipopolisacáridos (LPS) para dilucidar los mecanismos bioquímicos activados en las primeras etapas del SRIS. La dopamina extracelular se recogió de la amígdala de ratas en movimiento libre mediante microdiálisis y luego se analizó mediante cromatografía líquida de alta resolución. Además, se evaluaron los cambios emocionales con las pruebas de campo abierto y de preferencia de sacarosa. En el grupo de LPS, la liberación de dopamina en la amígdala aumentó de manera notable inmediatamente después de la administración de LPS, alcanzando un máximo a los 120 minutos. A partir de entonces, la liberación de dopamina disminuyó temporalmente, pero luego volvió a aumentar significativamente después de 180 min. Los resultadosactuales sugieren que la disfunción cerebral difusa en las primeras etapas del SIRS puede implicar niveles alterados de dopamina en la amígdala.

Aim: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of surgical treatment for endometriosis on the metabolic profile of women diagnosed with deep endometriosis. Methods: we conducted a prospective observational study with a sample of 30 women in the menacme diagnosed with deep endometriosis who underwent videolaparoscopic surgery in a reference center in Brazil between October 2020 and December 2021. A total of 30 women performed clinical and laboratory tests regarding their metabolic profile on two occasions, during preoperative tests and six months after video-laparoscopy. Results: patients had lower average levels of Total Cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Cholesterol (LDL-c), Triglycerides (TGC), and Fasting Glycemia (FG) after the surgical procedure. The average TC level was 8.2% lower after surgery, LDL-c was 12.8% lower, TGC was 10.9% lower, and FG was 7.3% lower. The results showed a statistically significant difference for all these parameters (p < 0.001). Conclusions: video-laparoscopy was associated with a favorable lipid profile compared to the preoperative lipid profile, with a significant improvement in the average levels of LDL-c, HDL-c, TC, TGC, and FG. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to determine whether surgical treatment for endometriosis can improve the metabolic parameters of women with endometriosis and favor a lower predisposition to atherogenesis.
Objetivo: Aeste estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos do tratamento cirúrgico da endometriose no perfil metabólico de mulheres com diagnóstico de endometriose profunda. Métodos: foi realizado um estudo observacional prospectivo com uma amostra de 30 mulheres na menacme, com diagnóstico de endometriose profunda, que foram submetidas à videolaparoscopia em um centro de referência no Brasil, entre outubro de 2020 e dezembro de 2021. As mulheres realizaram exames clínicos e laboratoriais quanto ao seu perfil metabólico em duas ocasiões, durante exames pré-operatórios e seis meses após a videolaparoscopia. Resultados: as pacientes apresentaram níveis médios mais baixos de Colesterol Total (CT), Colesterol de Baixa Densidade (LDL-c), Triglicerídeos (TGC) e Glicemia de Jejum (GJ) após o procedimento cirúrgico. O nível médio de CT foi 8,2% menor após a cirurgia, o LDL-c foi 12,8% menor, o TGC foi 10,9% menor e a GJ foi 7,3% menor. Os resultados mostraram diferença estatisticamente significativa para todos esses parâmetros (p < 0,001). Conclusões: a videolaparoscopia foi associada a um perfil lipídico favorável em comparação ao perfil lipídico pré-operatório, com melhora significativa nos níveis médios de LDL-c, HDL-c, CT, TGC e GJ. Estudos de acompanhamento a longo prazo são necessários para determinar se o tratamento cirúrgico da endometriose pode melhorar os parâmetros metabólicos de mulheres com endometriose e favorecer uma menor predisposição à aterogênese.

Background Cooking oil fumes are closely related to immune response, and adipose tissue also plays an important role in immune regulation. At present, the biological effect and mechanism of inflammation of adipose tissue induced by oil fume exposure are not clear yet. Objective To investigate the inflammatory effect of different exposure duration of cooking fumes on adipose tissue in mice and explore the role of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase 1)/interleukin (IL)-1β signaling pathway. Methods Forty 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3-day control group (CON3 group), 7-day control group (CON7 group), 3-day oil fume exposure group (COF3 group), and 7-day oil fume exposure group (COF7 group), with 10 mice in each group. The mice were exposed to oil fumes in a cooking oil fume formation and exposure equipment (COFFEE) for 20 min, followed by a 10-min pause, 1 h a day for consecutive 3 d or 7 d. General condition of mice was observed and body weight was measured every day. After exposure, blood was sampled from the eyeball. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The adipose tissue of mice was collected and observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The percentages of CD4+ and CD8+T cells in adipose tissue were detected by flow cytometry. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose. Results Compared with the corresponding control group, serum IL-6, IL-27, and IL-1β contents in the COF3 group and the COF7 group were significantly increased (P<0.05) except IL-6 in the COF3 group, and the levels in the COF7 group were significantly higher than those in the COF3 group (P<0.05). Vacuolar lipid droplets in adipocytes decreased, cytoplasm shrank, and inflammatory cells infiltrated in the COF7 group after HE staining. The flow cytometry results showed that the proportions of CD4+ and CD8+T cells in adipocytes of the COF3 group and the COF7 group were increased compared to the corresponding control group, with a significant increase in the COF7 group (P<0.05), and the CD4+/CD8+T ratio also significantly increased progressively in the two groups (P<0.05). The results of RT-qPCR showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the mRNA expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in adipose tissue of mice in the COF3 group and the COF7 group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of mice in each exposure group gradually increased over time. The Western blot results showed that compared with the corresponding control group, the protein expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase 1 in the COF3 group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the expression of IL-1β protein also increased but without statistical significance. The protein expressions of NLRP3, Caspase 1, and IL-1β in the COF7 group were significantly higher than those in the CON7 group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Acute exposure to cooking oil fumes can induce significant inflammatory response in adipose tissue, and the effect gradually increases with the extension of exposure time. The mechanism of action may be related to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze the preoperative and postoperative serum cholinesterase (CHE) levels in patients with stage ⅠA-ⅢA breast cancer who underwent surgical treatment, and to explore the roles of them and peripheral blood inflammatory markers in the prognostic prediction of stage ⅠA-ⅢA breast cancer.Methods:The relevant blood indicators of 152 patients with stage ⅠA-ⅢA breast cancer who underwent surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy from January 2012 to December 2017 at Affiliated Huai'an Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively studied. The optimal cut-off values of serum CHE levels and peripheral blood inflammatory markers [systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) ] were calculated using X-tile 3.6.1 software. Patients were categorized into low and high value groups based on the optimal cutoff values. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were used to assess the correlation between CHE and peripheral blood inflammation indexes and disease-free survival (DFS). Spearman correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon test were used to assess the correlation and changes of CHE and inflammation indexes before and after treatment. In addition to this, a nomogram prediction model was conscturcted based on independent prognostic factors by R software, which was validated by Bootstrap method.Results:The CHE levels of patients before and after treatment was 8 645.0 (7 251.3, 10 229.3) and 9 309.0 (7 801.0, 10 835.3) U/L, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=2.73, P=0.006) .The optimal cut-off values for postoperative CHE (Post-CHE), postoperative SII (Post-SII), and postoperative SIRI (Post-SIRI) associated with patients' DFS, being 7 773 U/L, 741, and 0.9, respectively.

The nomogram based on independent prognostic factors had good predictive performance, with a C-index of 0.893. Conclusion:The serum CHE level exhibited a significant increase following treatment. Postoperative serum CHE combined with SII and SIRI can effectively predict DFS in patients with stage ⅠA-ⅢA breast cancer, and the prognosis of patients with elevated CHE after treatment is better. The nomogram constructed based on independent prognostic factors has good predictive performance for DFS in breast cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Xuanfei Tongluo Pingchuan Decoction in treating patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)and to explore its regulatory mechanism on immune function and inflammatory response.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 122 patients with AECOPD of phlegm-stasis obstructing lung type,and the patients were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the therapy,with 61 patients in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the observation group was treated with Xuanfei Tongluo Pingchuan Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.The treatment lasted for 14 days.Before and after treatment,the patients of the two groups were observed in the changes of pulmonary function indicators,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),COPD Assessment Test(CAT)scores,immune function indicators,and serum inflammatory factors.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and the overall occurrence rate of the adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After 14 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.08%(58/61),and that of the control group was 77.05%(47/61).The intergroup comparison showed that the therapeutic effect of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.01).(2)After treatment,pulmonary function indexes such as the forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),and peak expiratory flow(PEF)of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the effect on improving all pulmonary function indexes in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(3)After treatment,the 6MWD of the two groups were significantly higher(P＜0.05)and the CAT scores were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of improving the 6MWD and decreasing CAT scores(P＜0.01).(4)After treatment,the levels of immune function indicators of T lymphocyte subsets CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and CD8+ level was significantly lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05),and the observation group had stronger effect on increasing T lymphocyte subsets CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels and on decreasing CD8+ level than the control group(P＜0.01).(5)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors C-reactive protein(CRP)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the effect on lowering the levels of serum CRP and TNF-α in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(6)During the trial,the total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 3.28%(2/61)and that in the control group was 6.56%(4/61),and the intergroup comparison showed that the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Xuanfei Tongluo Pingchuan Decoction can effectively alleviate the symptoms of cough and expectoration in AECOPD patients,improve the lung function and immune function,and reduce the inflammatory response.During the treatment,no obvious adverse reactions occur and the therapy is safe and effective.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the ameliorative effect of sulforaphane on inflammatory response and airway remodeling in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Seventy-five SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,and the low-,medium-,and high-dose groups of sulforaphane,with 15 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,the COPD model was prepared in the remaining group using aroma smoke inhalation combined with intratracheal droplet lipopolysaccharide(LPS)method.After the successful modelling,the rats were administered the drug by gavage for 28 days.At the end of the administration,the general conditions of the rats in each group were observed,and the lung function[forced vital capacity(FVC),peak expiratory flow-rate(PEF),forceful expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)]was examined,and the pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining method,and the indexes of airway remodeling(thickness of the bronchial wall,thickness of the smooth muscle)were measured;the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to examine the lung function of the rats.The levels of inflammatory factors[tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β)]were detected in lung tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and changes in the protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88),and nuclear transcription factor κB(NF-κB)were detected in lung tissue by Western Blot.Results(1)The rats in the model group had dry and lack of glossy fur,obvious coughing and nose scratching,shortness of breath,slow movement,and preferred to arch their backs and lie curled up;the rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of sulforaphane showed significant improvement in shortness of breath,coughing,and other abnormal manifestations.(2)HE staining showed that the airway wall and smooth muscle of rats in the model group were thickened,the airway epithelium was damaged,and alveolar destruction,fusion,and massive infiltration of inflammatory cells were seen;the histopathological changes in the lungs of rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of sulforaphane improved to varying degrees,with the airway wall becoming thinner,the degree of alveolar destruction being reduced,and the infiltration of inflammatory cells being reduced.(3)Compared with the normal group,FVC,PEF and FEV1 were significantly reduced in the model group(P＜0.05),and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,bronchial wall thickness,smooth muscle thickness,and the expression levels of TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB were significantly increased in the model group(P＜0.05);and in comparison with the model group,the levels of FVC,PEF,and FEV1 were significantly increased in the rats in the sulforaphane low-,medium-,and high-dose groups(P＜0.05),and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,bronchial wall thickness,smooth muscle thickness,and the expression levels of TLR4,MyD88,and NF-κB were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)compared with the model group.Conclusion Sulforaphane helps to inhibit the inflammatory response,attenuate airway remodeling,and improve the pathological injury and lung function of lung tissue in rats with COPD,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4,MyD88,and NF-κB protein expressions.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the predictive value of inflammatory markers for stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP)in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)based on the nomogram model.Methods According to whether pneumonia occurred,259 AIS patients were divided into SAP group(81 cases)and non-SAP group(178 cases).The clinical data of the two groups were compared.The systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI),systemic immunoinflammatory index(SII)and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)were calculated according to the formula.The variables with statistically significant differences were included in the multivariate binary Logistic regression model to screen out the independent risk factors for SAP in AIS patients.The independent risk factors were used to construct a predictive model,and the predictive ability of the two models,which only included traditional factors and included inflammatory indicators at the same time,was further compared from the aspects of discrimination,calibration,clinical practicability and so on.Reclassification analysis was used to evaluate the extent to which the nomogram model improved the predictive value of SAP risk in AIS patients.Results Compared with those in the non-SAP group,the rates of smoking,diabetes,dysphagia,leukocytes,neutrophils,lymphocytes,triglyceride level,NIHSS score on admission,SIRI,SII and NLR were significantly increased in the SAP group,and the rate of hypertension was decreased(all P＜0.05).Diabetes mellitus(OR =2.505,95%CI:1.070-5.850,P =0.034),dysphagia(OR =3.492,95%CI:1.501-8.119,P =0.004),NIHSS score on admission(OR = 1.310,95%CI:1.188-1.446,P＜0.001),SIRI(OR =2.417,95%CI:1.327-4.401,P =0.008),NLR(OR =1.434,95%CI:1.101-1.860,P =0.007)were independent risk factors for SAP in AIS patients.The area under the curve was 0.788(95%CI:0.725-0.852,P＜0.001)for the prediction model without inflammatory factors and 0.884(95%CI:0.838-0.930,P＜0.001)for the prediction model with independent risk factors.The calibration curve showed a good consistency between the predicted risk and the observed results.The decision curve showed that the model had a significant net benefit for predicting SAP.In addition,by calculating the net reclassification index(NRI)and the comprehensive discriminant improvement index(IDI),it was found that the nomogram model had a significant improvement in predicting the risk of SAP in AIS patients.Internal verification also proves the reliability of the nomogram model.Conclusions SIRI and NLR are independent predictors of SAP in AIS patients on admission.Adding SIRI and NLR to the traditional model can significantly improve the ability to identify the risk of SAP occurrence in AIS patients.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:In recent years,with the improvement of living standards,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has a gradually increasing trend.miRNA-122 is one of the most abundant microRNAs in the liver,which plays an important role in maintaining the environmental stability and differentiation of the liver.Exercise training is a non-drug treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,which may improve liver lipid metabolism by regulating the expression of miRNA-122. OBJECTIVE:To review the effects of miRNA-122 on the pathological factors related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as well as the effects of exercise on the expression of miRNA-122 and the occurrence and development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS:The first author searched the databases of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Geenmedical,EBSCO,Medline,Web of Science,and Elsevier using"non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,microRNA,microRNA-122,lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance,exercise,physical exercise,exercise training"as the English and Chinese search terms for all relevant literature published before June 5,2022.All included documents were screened,summarized,and analyzed.Finally,68 documents were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the healthy control group,the expression of circulating miRNA-122 is increased in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.The level of miRNA-122 may show different expression levels at different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.miRNA-122 can regulate the expression of downstream-related proteins,influence lipid metabolism,inflammatory response,insulin resistance and other pathogenic factors in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by targeting base complementary pairing sites on mRNA or directly acting as physiological ligands of some RNA receptors.Different exercise modes can improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Therefore,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease need to complete at least 120 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week to have a positive effect.For patients who can tolerate various exercises,priority should be given to the combination of aerobic and resistance exercises 4-5 times a week.The exercise intensity should be 50%-70%of the maximum heart rate and the exercise should last for>3 months.For patients with poor tolerance,resistance exercise may be more feasible than aerobic exercise.In addition,patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can also choose proper exercise modes according to their own disease conditions(such as liver enzymes and lipid levels).Exercise can be used as a feasible strategy to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,reduce liver steatosis,and alleviate liver inflammatory response and insulin resistance.Exercise training can regulate the expression of miRNA-122,but in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,the effect of exercise on miRNA-122 and its related signal pathways remains to be studied.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Early transient presence of M1 macrophages can play a beneficial role after the implantation of bone tissue engineering materials.Recently,strategies for manipulating M1 macrophages to produce an early moderate inflammatory response have been extensively studied and many research advances have been made in the design of bone tissue engineering materials. OBJECTIVE:To review the role of early transient presence of M1 macrophages in bone tissue engineering and recent research advances in the strategy for activating early transient presence of M1 macrophages in the field of bone tissue engineering. METHODS:Relevant literature included in PubMed,WanFang database,and CNKI Database from January 2012 to October 2022 was searched.Search terms were"M1,macrophage,bone immunoregulation,bone defect,osteogenesis,osteoimmunology,angiogenesis"in English and Chinese.After excluding articles irrelevant to the research purpose and repetitive articles,63 papers were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The early transient presence of M1 macrophages play a key role in bone tissue engineering by promoting angiogenesis,facilitating osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and promoting an M2 macrophage phenotype.Strategies for inducing and activating early transient presence of M1 macrophages can modulate the local immune microenvironment for bone defect repair in a manner consistent with early natural bone healing,including modulation of the physicochemical properties of bone tissue engineering materials to promote appropriate M1 macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses,sequential delivery of cytokines,microRNAs or bioactive ions to facilitate the M1-to-M2 transition of macrophages,and controlled release of anti-inflammatory substances to achieve the maintenance of early inflammatory responses.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:In recent years,tranexamic acid has been extensively used to mitigate the substantial blood loss associated with total knee arthroplasty.However,the optimal method of topical application has not yet been established. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intraoperative topical application of tranexamic acid combined with physical compression dressing in reducing perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 90 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty at the Honghui Hospital in Xi'an from January 2021 to December 2022.Based on the different topical use methods of tranexamic acid during surgery,patients were divided into three groups,with 30 cases in each group.In the compression dressing group,2 g of tranexamic acid was placed in the articular cavity,and after packing the wound with gauze and cotton pads,a bandage was used to compress the wound.In the periarticular injection group,2 g of tranexamic acid was injected into the surrounding tissue of the articular cavity.In the intra-articular injection group,2 g of tranexamic acid was injected into the articular cavity.The blood loss,operation time,coagulation indicators,inflammatory indicators,and postoperative complications of the three groups were statistically analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In terms of total blood loss,hidden blood loss,and maximum hemoglobin drop,the periarticular injection group had the least amount,and there was no statistically significant difference between the compression dressing group and periarticular injection group(P>0.05).In terms of intraoperative blood loss,the compression dressing group had the least amount,and there were statistically significant differences compared with the periarticular injection group and intra-articular injection group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in operation time among the three groups(P>0.05).(2)There were no statistically significant differences in coagulation indicators(D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products)and inflammation indicators(C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate)among the three groups preoperatively and on the first and third days after operation(P>0.05).(3)There was no statistically significant difference observed among the three groups in terms of slow blood flow in the affected limb,intramuscular venous thrombosis,soft tissue swelling,and incidence of wound complications(P>0.05).Additionally,no cases of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were detected in any of the groups.(4)The topical application of tranexamic acid combined with compression dressing achieves the same effect as a periarticular injection in terms of simplicity of operation and reduced perioperative blood loss.This method also avoids the trauma caused by repeated punctures and does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications,making it a worthwhile option for clinical promotion.
