RESUMEN
ObjectiveBased on the nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway, this paper explores the effect of Sinisan (SNS) on liver oxidative stress injury in cholestatic hepatitis rats and its mechanism. MethodThirty 6-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, model group, low and high dose groups of SNS (2.5 and 5 g·kg-1) and ursodeoxycholic acid group (UDCA, 63 mg·kg-1), with six rats in each group. Rats were administrated for seven consecutive days. On the 5th day, the control group was given olive oil of 10 mL·kg-1, and the other groups were given alpha-naphthalene isothiocyanate (ANIT) of 80 mg·kg-1. The serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in rat liver were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in liver tissue. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in liver tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed a significant increase in the serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in liver tissue (P<0.01). There were obvious pathological changes in the model group such as the disordered arrangement of hepatocytes, obvious congestion and necrosis in the portal area, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and destruction of the interlobular bile duct. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly down-regulated in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the groups of SNS showed a significant decrease in the serum biochemical indicator levels of cholestasis and the content of antioxidant factors in liver tissue (P<0.01), and the pathological liver injury was obviously improved. The necrotic area was reduced, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells was decreased. In addition, there was a small amount of extravasated blood in the interlobular vein. The relative mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in liver tissue were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSNS can significantly improve liver injury in cholestatic hepatitis rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress response mediated by the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the parameters for infra-acetabular screw placement between men and women using a digital Chinese anatomical model of the pelvis and acetabulum.Methods:The normal pelvic CT data were collected from the 163 adult patients who had been admitted to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2018 to December 2021. There were 61 males and 102 females with an age of 53.0 (45.0, 60.0) years. Mimics 21.0 software was used to reconstruct the three dimensional pelvis which was then imported into Autodesk maya 2022 software before the model was flattened. Polygonal modeling tools were used to create a cylinder to simulate an infra-acetabular screw for length and angle measurements of the screw. The diameters of the infra-acetabular screws were measured by axial fluoroscopy in Mimics 21.0 software. The maximum diameters and maximum lengths of the infra-acetabular bone channel were compared between males and females, and the angles between the axis of the infra-acetabular screw and the anterior pelvic plane and the median sagittal plane were also compared between genders.Results:The maximum diameters of the left and right infra-acetabular corridors were 5.24 (4.26, 6.38) mm and 5.04 (4.50, 6.57) mm in males, and 3.99 (3.81, 4.51) mm and 3.89 (3.65, 4.90) mm in females; the maximum lengths of the left and right infra-acetabular corridors were (98.43±4.42) mm and (98.01±5.08) mm in males and 87.73 (84.22, 90.98) mm and 87.51 (84.59, 90.15) mm in females. The left and right angles between the infra-acetabular screw axis and the median sagittal plane were -0.98°±4.79° and -1.08°±4.91° in men, and 6.20° (3.34°, 11.16°) and 6.44° (3.77°, 11.85°) in women. The differences in the above data between men and women were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between men and women in the angle between the infra-acetabular screw axis and the anterior pelvic plane ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The length and diameter of the infra-acetabular corridor in males are greater than those in females, the angle between the infra-acetabular corridor and the sagittal plane in males is smaller than that in females, and the infra-acetabular corridor in males is more parallel to the sagittal plane. Therefore, the fluoroscopy angle should be adjusted for males to reduce the difficulty in screw placement when an infra-acetabular screw is placed during surgery.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment methods of the patients who suffered from ice and snow sports injuries in Xinjiang in winter so that useful information can be provided for medical service for ice and snow sports.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 147 patients who had sought medical attention for ice and snow sports injuries at Department of Orthopaedics, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2018 to March 2022. The basic information, injury site, injury type, injury cause, length of hospitalization, and treatment methods of the patients were classified and statistically analyzed. The χ2 test was used to compare the injury site and type in patients of different ages, and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test to compare the length of hospitalization in patients of different ages. Results:Of the 147 patients, 73 were males and 74 females with an age of (27.8±15.6) years. The top 3 injury sites were the lower limb (36.91%, 55/149), the upper limb (31.54%, 47/149), and the head and face (14.77%, 22/149). The top 3 injury types were fractures (61.90%, 91/147), skin and soft tissue lesions (14.97%, 22/147), and ligament lesions (10.20%, 15/147). The main causes for injury were fall (58.50%, 86/147), sprain (20.41%, 30/147), and bruise (19.73%, 29/147). Of the 91 patients with fractures, 55 (60.44%, 55/91) underwent surgical treatment, and 32 (35.16%, 32/91) closed reduction and plaster/brace external fixation. Eight of the 22 patients with soft tissue lesions (36.36%, 8/22) and 7 of the 15 patients with ligament lesions (46.67%, 7/15) underwent surgical treatment. The length of hospitalization for the 147 patients was 6.0 (4.0, 9.0) d. The differences in injury site and injury type were statistically significant between different age groups of patients, and the length of hospitalization was significantly different between different age groups of fracture patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Young people are the population who suffered from the most injuries due to ice and snow sports in winter in Xinjiang. Injury sites, injury types, and lengths of hospitalization varied with different age groups. Fractures were the most common type of injury. The participants of ice and snow sports should be fully aware that ice and snow sports are highly risky and thus avoid high-risk movements. Doctors should consider the patient's age, injury site, and injury type comprehensively when they formulate specific diagnostic and treatment schemes.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the co-infection rate,immune function and drug resistance status among tuberculosis patients co-infected with HBV,HCV and HIV in Yunnan.Methods A total of 2271 TB patients in Yunnan province admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Kunming from April 2020 to March 2023 were collected for HBV,HCV,HIV serological tests,lymphocyte tests and drug resistance gene detection,and analysis of TB infection of HBV,HCV,HIV infection,immune function and resistance.Results Among the 2271 TB patients,499 cases were infected with TB and HBV,the infection rate was 21.97%.196 cases were infected with HCV,the infection rate was 8.63%.166 cases were infected with HIV,the infection rate was 7.31%.There were 1410 patients with simple tuberculosis,accounting for 62.09%.The infection rates of tuberculosis combined with HBV,HCV and HIV were statistically significant in different age groups(P<0.01).The absolute number expression of CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+T cells was higher in TB patients with HBV and HCV,and the differences between the two were statistically significant(P<0.05).The absolute number expression of CD3+ and CD4+T cells was lower in TB patients with HIV,and the absolute number expression of CD8+T cells was increased,and the difference between the two was statistically significant(P<0.01).The absolute number of CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+T cells was higher in female patients with tuberculosis and HIV,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).In all age groups,the absolute number of CD3+ and CD8+T cells in tuberculosis patients with HIV was the lowest in 46-65 years old group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Among the 2271 TB patients,391 were resistant to any first-line drug(single drug resistance),and the overall drug resistance rate was 17.22%.Among them,52 cases were combined with HBV drug resistance,the resistance rate was 10.42%.There were 10 cases with HCV drug resistance,the drug resistance rate was 5.10%.40 cases were combined with HIV drug resistance,the drug resistance rate was 24.10%.Drug resistance in 289 patients with simple tuberculosis was 20.50%.Among them,33 cases were single drug resistant rifampicin,accounting for 19.88%.Conclusion Tuberculosis has the highest rate of co-infection with HBV,and the immune function of TB patients co-infected with HIV is the worst.The drug resistance rate of TB patients co-infected with HIV is also the highest,with resistance to rifampicin being the most common.TB is a chronic wasting disease,with poorer immune function compared to the general population,making it more susceptible to HBV infection.TB patients who are also infected with HIV tend to have worsened immune function and increased drug resistance.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of matrine in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) based on the zebrafish model and network pharmacology. MethodThe IBD model of zebrafish was established using 2,4,6-trinitro-benzenesulfonicacid (TNBS), and the intestinal phagocytic function, goblet cell secretion, and neutrophil aggregation were evaluated using neutral red staining, alcian blue staining, and neutrophil number changes. Changes in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and cholecystokinin (CCK) content in zebrafish were determined by using relevant reagent kits. Network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the potential mechanism of matrine in the treatment of IBD. Gene expression of relevant targets was verified through Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the model group, the matrine administration group can increase the neutral red staining area in a dose-dependent manner and improve intestinal phagocytic function(P<0.05,P<0.01). It can reduce the staining area of alcian blue and affect the secretion of intestinal goblet cells(P<0.01). It can reduce the number of neutrophil granulocytes, relieve its aggregation, significantly reduce TNF-α content(P<0.01), and increase the CCK content. Network pharmacology analysis identifies 28 potential targets for matrine in the treatment of IBD. The top five targets by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis are CHRNA7, DRD1, CHRNA4, SLC6A3, and GRM5. The Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) results show that the treatment of IBD with matrine may be related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, cholinergic synapse, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Real-time PCR results show that matrine can affect the expression level of related target genes. Conclusionmatrine has a certain therapeutic effect on IBD and can affect the inflammatory response of IBD. Its therapeutic effect may be related to neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction and other pathways.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the improvements of high-fat intake on lung injury induced by Paragonimus proliferus infection in rats, and to preliminarily explore the mechanisms underlying the role of cytochrome P450 4A1 (CYP 4A1) in the improve ments. Methods SD rats were randomly assigned into three groups, including the normal control group (n = 10), the infection and normal diet group (n = 12) and the infection and high-fat diet group (n = 12). Rats in the normal control group were fed with normal diet and without any other treatments, and animals in the infection and normal diet group were subcutaneously injected with 8 excysted metacercariae of P. proliferus via the abdominal wall, followed by feeding with normal diet, while rats in the infection and high-fat diet group were subcutaneously injected with 8 excysted metacercariae of P. proliferus via the abdominal wall, followed by feeding with high-fat diet. All rats were sacrificed 28 weeks post-infection, and serum samples and lung specimens were collected. Following hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of rat lung specimens, the rat lung injury was observed under an optical microscope, and alveolitis was evaluated using semi-quantitative scoring. Serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the cytochrome P450 4A1 (CYP 4A1) expression was quantified in rat lung specimens at transcriptional and translational levels using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting assays. Results Alveolar wall thickening, edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were alleviated 28 weeks post-infection with P. proliferus in rats in the infection and high-fat diet group relative to the infection and normal diet group, and no alveolar consolidation was seen in the infection and high-fat diet group. The semi-quantitative score of alveolitis was significantly higher in the infection and normal diet group [(2.200 ± 0.289) points] than in the normal control group [(0.300 ± 0.083) points] and the infection and high-fat diet group [(1.300 ± 0.475) points] (both P values < 0.05), and higher serum IL-1β [(151.586 ± 20.492)] pg/mL and TNF-α levels [(180.207 ± 23.379) pg/mL] were detected in the infection and normal diet group than in the normal control group [IL-1β: (103.226 ± 3.366) pg/mL; TNF-α: (144.807 ± 1.348) pg/mL] and the infection and high-fat diet group [IL-1β: (110.131 ± 12.946) pg/mL; TNF-α: (131.764 ± 27.831) pg/mL] (all P values < 0.05). In addition, lower CYP 4A1 mRNA (3.00 ± 0.81) and protein expression (0.40 ± 0.02) was quantified in lung specimens in the infection and normal diet group than in the normal control group [(5.03 ± 2.05) and (0.84 ± 0.14)] and the infection and high-fat diet group [(11.19 ± 3.51) and (0.68 ± 0.18)] (all P values < 0.05). Conclusion High-fat intake may alleviate lung injuries caused by P. proliferus infection in rats through up-regulating CYP 4A1 expression in lung tissues at both translational and transcriptional levels.

RESUMEN
Objective:To describe and compare the perioperative changes of body weight, skeletal muscle and fat mass in patients with benign and malignant gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:All adult patients admitted to the surgery department of a referral hospital in Beijing with voluntary consent were included in the study. For all participants, preoperative medical history were collected and body composition measurements were performed 1-2 days prior to the surgery and 3-6 days after the surgery. Pathological results and tumor diagnosis were recorded.Results:A total of 80 participants completed the study. There was no significant difference in weight and body composition between patients with benign and malignant tumors before operation, but patients experiencing a weight loss of more than 5% in the past 6 months were dramatically more in malignant tumor group compared with benign tumor group (9.1% vs. 42.0%, P=0.024). With the parenteral and enteral nutrition support, there was no significant difference in the changes of weight, muscle, or fat mass between benign and malignant tumor patients in different stages (all P>.05). Patients with malignant tumors were divided into severe weight loss group and observational group with the percentage weight loss cut-off of 5%. Analysis showed that patients in the severe weight loss group had significantly decreased weight [(-4.3±1.6)kg vs. (-1.9±1.1)kg, P<0.01], BMI[(-1.3±0.9)kg/m 2vs. (-0.7±0.4)kg/m 2, P<0.01], muscle[(-1.2±2.0)kg vs. (-0.4±1.2)kg, P=0.046] and fat mass [(-2.6±2.0)kg vs. (-1.1±0.9)kg, P=0.018] compared with observational group, while visceral [(-0.5±0.6)kg vs. (-0.2±0.7)kg, P=0.107] and subcutaneous fat [(-2.2±1.9)kg vs. (-1.4±1.8)kg, P=0.235] of two groups had no significant difference. Univariate analysis revealed age as the only influencing factor for perioperative weight loss ( P=0.036). Fat loss was predominant in the overall weight loss compared with muscle loss ( P=0.026) among patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors. Conclusion:With parenteral and enteral nutrition support, there is no significant difference in perioperative changes of weight, muscle or fat mass among patients with benign and malignant tumors. Muscle and fat loss both have contributed to the overall weight loss, which is noteworthy.

The clinicopathological data of 196 patients who underwent laparos-copy-assisted radical gastrectomy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2016 to March 2019 were collected. There were 144 males and 52 females, aged (61±10)years. Observation indicators: (1) early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy and treatment; (2) analysis of risk factors for early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( P25,P75). Count data were represented as absolute numbers. Univariate analysis was conducted using the t test, Mann-Whitney U test or chi-square test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regressional model. Results:(1) Early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy and treatment: 51 of 196 patients had early postoperative complications, including 7 cases of grade Ⅰ according to Clavien-Dindo classi-fication system, 32 cases of grade Ⅱ, 9 cases of grade Ⅲa, 3 cases of grade Ⅲb. There was no grade Ⅳ or Ⅴ complication. There were 25 cases with abdominal complications, 7 cases with thoracic complications, 3 cases with internal/catheter related complications and 16 cases with other unclassified complications. All patients with complications were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatments. (2) Analysis of risk factors for early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy: results of univariate analysis showed that the lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, radiotherapy, operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, T stage, lymph node metastasis were related factors for early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer ( Z=?2.048, χ2=6.385, 4.168, 8.068, 6.336, 12.497, 7.522, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio ≥1.96, operation time ≥222 minutes, and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for early complica-tions after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer ( odds ratio=2.279, 2.245, 2.226, 95% confidence interval as 1.149-4.519, 1.116-4.517, 1.125-4.402, P<0.05). Conclusions:The abdominal complications are the most common early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ≥1.96, operation time ≥222 minutes, and lymph node metastasis are independent risk factors for early complications after laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.
RESUMEN
The aim of acetabular fracture surgery is to achieve anatomical reduction and potent fixation, to allow early functional rehabilitation of the injured hip joint, and to avoid postoperative complications such as joint stiffness, muscle atrophy, thrombosis, pneumonia and traumatic arthritis. In the past 10 years, the concept of minimally invasive treatment has developed rapidly. As a minimally invasive and precise internal fixation method, the pelvic channel screw concept has been widely used including infra-acetabular channel screw which is a channel on the inside of the hip joint, pass through both columns and parallel to the pelvic quadrilateral. Infra-acetabular channel screw is a combination of quadrilateral wall screw technique and pelvic osseous fixation pathways screw technique, which is applied to acetabular fractures that anterior and posterior column Separated. In Recent years, anatomical studies have found that more than 90% population exist a channel to place an 5 mm infra-acetabular screw safely, and described its entry point, angle, channel morphology, furthermore, vitro biomechanical have confirmed that the infra-acetabular channel screw can increase the fixation strength of acetabular fractures significantly. The clinical application has tested and verified its operability. The patients good recovery also proved the application value of the infra-acetabular screw. Thus a retrograde infra-acetabular screw technique is derived.

Objective To designe, synthesize a series of chlorin p6 ether photosensitizers and preliminarily investigate their photodynamic antitumor activity based on previous research results that alkoxyl ether derivatives of 3-vinyl on chlorin f exhibited stronger photosensitive antitumor activity than parent compound. Methods Purpurin-18 (4) was obtained by oxidative degradation with air and alkali on pheophorbide a (5) which was prepared through acid hydrolysis of chlorophyll a from crude chlorophyll extracts in Chinese traditional herb named Silkworm excrement. Then, chlorin p6 trimethylester (2) were formed via basic hydrolysis of internal anhydride ring for lead compound 3 and following immediately methylation with CH2N2. The intermediate 2 reacted with 33% HBr, following nucleophilic substitution with various alkoxyl alcohol to get six title compounds (1). All title compounds were subjected to photodynamic antitumor activity screening for melanoma B16-F10 cell in vitro. Results All title compounds showed much higher phototoxicity against melanoma B16-F10 cells than talaporfin and verteporfin. Their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS and ESI-HRMS spectra. Conclusion Chlorin p6 ether compounds were promising candidate photosensitizers for PDT applications due to theirs high dark toxicity/phototoxicity ratio and excellent phototoxicity, which were worthy of further research and development.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of melatonin against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) in mice and its mechanism.Methods Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation group,CIRI group,and melatonin treatment group (n =10 in each group).A middle cerebral artery occlusion model was induced by suture method.The degree of brain injury was evaluated by neurological function score,brain water content,and cerebral infarction volume.Western blot analysis was used to detect apoptosis-related proteins Bim,Bcl-2,and endoplasmic reticuhm stress-related molecules C/ EBP homologous protein (C/EBP) expression.Results Compared with the CIRI group,the neurological function score was significantly improved,the degree of cerebral edema was significantly reduced,and the volume of cerebral infarction was significantly reduced in the melatonin treatment group (all P <0.05).In addition,the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly up-regulated in the melatonin treatment group,and the expression of Bim and CHOP was significantly down-regulated (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Melatonin may play an anti-CIRI role by regulating CHOP,and endoplasmic reticulum stress plays an important role in CIRI.
RESUMEN
Pterostilbene (3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic compound primarily found in blueberries, grapes, and a tree wood, pterocarpus marsupium. Studies demonstrate that pterostilbene inhibits a variety of cancers, such as lung, breast, stomach, colon, etc. The anti-cancer activities are related to the regulation of several hallmarks of cancer. Moreover, pterostilbene exhibits much greater bioavailability and bioactivity than resveratrol which warrants further investigation in the anti-cancer functions and mechanisms. .

This is a complicated and difficult case. The onset symptom of a 62-year-old male was recurrent intestinal obstruction. Ileocecal and ileocolic operation was done twice. Massive gastrointestinal bleeding occurred due to giant fistula of descending duodenum, which connected to ileocolic anastomosis. After consultation by multidisciplinary team, jejunal-feeding tube was placed to provide enteral nutrition. With general condition improving, duodenal fistula repair and involved bowel resection were performed. Postoperative pathology confirmed Crohn's disease. The patient was treated with thalidomide and recovered well during follow-up.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on the intestinal barrier of obesity rats fed with high-fat diet.Methods Thirty obesity rats fed with high-fat diet were randomly divided into three groups including common diet group (CD,n=10),sham operation group (SO,n=10) and sleeve gastrectomy group (SG,n=10).The lactulose/mannitol ratios (L/M) in 24-hour urine and endotoxin in portal vein were evaluated four weeks after surgery.The levels of tight junction proteins including claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa were analyzed by western blot.Results The body weight of SG group was significantly decreased than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001) four weeks after surgery.The L/M ratio in 24-hour urine of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01).The endotoxin level in portal vein of SG group was significantly lower than those of CD group (P<0.01) and SO group (P<0.05).The claudin-1 level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higher than those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.01) four weeks after surgery.The occludin level in intestinal mucosa of SG group was significantly higherthan those of CD group (P<0.001) and SO group (P<0.001).Conclusions Sleeve gastrectomy can reduce body weight,L/M ratio in 24-hour urine and endotoxin level in portal vein of obesity rat fed with high-fat diet and increase the levels of claudin-1 and occludin in intestinal mucosa.
