RESUMO
Polysaccharides, predominantly extracted from traditional Chinese medicinal herbs such as Lycium barbarum, Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Dendrobium officinale, Ganoderma lucidum, and Poria cocos, represent principal bioactive constituents extensively utilized in Chinese medicine. These compounds have demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory capabilities, especially anti-liver injury activities, while exhibiting minimal adverse effects. This review summarized recent studies to elucidate the hepatoprotective efficacy and underlying molecular mechanisms of these herbal polysaccharides. It underscored the role of these polysaccharides in regulating hepatic function, enhancing immunological responses, and improving antioxidant capacities, thus contributing to the attenuation of hepatocyte apoptosis and liver protection. Analyses of molecular pathways in these studies revealed the intricate and indispensable functions of traditional Chinese herbal polysaccharides in liver injury management. Therefore, this review provides a thorough examination of the hepatoprotective attributes and molecular mechanisms of these medicinal polysaccharides, thereby offering valuable insights for the advancement of polysaccharide-based therapeutic research and their potential clinical applications in liver disease treatment.

Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with maintenance dialysis (MHD).Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Patients who received MHD treatment in the Blood Purification Center of Hainan Provincial People's Hospital in October 2019 were included as study subjects. The patients were divided into sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group according to whether they had sarcopenia or not. Chest CT imaging and laboratory examination data were collected. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the skeletal muscle mass. Chi-square test or Mantel-Haenszel trend chi-square test was used to compare the clinical data of patients with and without sarcopenia. Multivariate logistic regression equation was used to analyze the risk factors of sarcopenia.Results:A total of 182 MHD patients were enrolled in the study, and the prevalence of sarcopenia was 33.5% (61/182). The proportions of age ≥60 years old, diabetic nephropathy, tunneled-cuffed catheter, body mass index <18 kg/m 2, serum albumin <40 g/L, low density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L, left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, chest CT-suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and PTB in sarcopenia group were higher than those in non-sarcopenia group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that left ventricular ejection fraction <50% (≥50% as a reference, OR=3.250, 95% CI 1.035-10.206, P=0.044), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L (<3.37 mmol/L as a reference, OR=6.354 ,95% CI 1.675-24.108, P=0.007), chest CT-suspected PTB (normal as a reference, OR=7.433, 95% CI 1.531-36.083, P=0.013), and PTB (normal as a reference, OR=28.871, 95% CI 3.208-259.872, P=0.030) were independent influencing factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Conclusions:The prevalence of sarcopenia is higher in MHD patients. Blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥3.37 mmol/L, ejection fraction <50%, chest CT-PTB and suspected PTB are independent risk factors of sarcopenia in MHD patients. Correcting left ventricular systolic function, regulating blood lipids and preventing PTB as early as possible can reduce the prevalence of sarcopenia in MHD patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided midline catheter placement on the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in severe emergency patients.Methods:Five hundred and twenty-nine patients were chosen as the research objects from March 2018 to December 2019 at Emergency Intensive Care Unit, which was divided into the experimental group ( n=278) and the control group ( n=251). In the experimental group, ultrasound-guided midline catheter was used as central venous catheter (CVC) removal method of sequential, and in the control group, peripheral venous indwelling needle was used as sequential method after removal of CVC. CVC, midline catheter and the indwelling time of indwelling needle were counted. The utilization rate of CVC was compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to describe the CVC indwelling time of the two groups and log-rank test was performed. Cox regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors of CVC indwelling time and compare the incidence of CRBSI and other catheter-related complications. Results:The CVC indwelling time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (8 d vs. 13 d, P=0.000). The CVC utilization rate of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (49.83% vs. 80.45%, P=0.000). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that difficult intravenous access, length of ICU stay, the site of catheter placement, and midline catheter implantation without ultrasound-guidance were independent risk factors for prolonged CVC indwelling time ( P=0.000). The CRBSI rate of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (0.571‰ vs. 3.802‰, P=0.038). There was no significant difference in the incidence of other catheter-related complications between the two groups ( P=0.403). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided midline catheter implantation can shorten the indwelling time of CVC, reduce the utilization rate of CVC, and reduce the incidence of CRBSI, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of the combined application of both intravenous and topical tranexamic acid versus the single use of either application in patients with total knee and hip arthroplasty. METHODS: Potentially relevant studies were identified from electronic databases including Medline, PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect and the Cochrane Library. Patients undergoing primary total knee and hip arthroplasty were included in our studies, with an experimental group that received combined intravenous and topical application of tranexamic acid and a control group that received a single application of tranexamic acid or normal saline. The primary outcomes were total blood loss, hemoglobin decline and transfusion requirements. The secondary outcomes were length of stay, operation time and tranexamic acid-related adverse effects, such as superficial infection, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Modified Jadad scores were used to assess the quality of the included randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The data was pooled using RevMan 5.3. After testing for heterogeneity across studies, the data were aggregated using random-effects modeling when appropriate. We have registered the trial at http://www.researchregistry.com. RESULTS: Six RCTs that included 704 patients met the inclusion criteria. The present meta-analysis indicated significant differences existed in the total blood loss (MD = -134.65, 95% CI: -191.66 to -77.64, P < 0.0001), postoperative hemoglobin level (MD = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.39 to 1.10, P < 0.0001), drainage volume (MD = -40.19, 95% CI: -55.95 to -24.43, P < 0.00001) and transfusion rate (RD = -0.07, 95% CI: -0.11 to -0.03, P = 0.0004) between groups. CONCLUSION: Combined administration of tranexamic acid in total knee and hip arthroplasty was associated with significantly reduced total blood loss, postoperative hemoglobin decline, drainage volume, and transfusion requirements. Based on the limitations of current meta-analysis, well-designed, high-quality RCTs with long-term follow-up are still required.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: New-type tissue engineering materials and post-proliferation Schwann cells are implanted into biosynthesis tube for repairing peripheral nerve defect, which are two great developments in the field of artificial biomaterial tube.OBJECTIVE: Taking chitosan-collagen as scaffold, activated Schwann cells as seed cells, we are in attempt to observe the affinity between them as well as growth rule of activated Schwann cells on Chitosan-collagen, so as to provide basis for pre-construction of artificial nerve.DESIGN: Open experiment.SETTING: Department of Hand Surgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the Key Laboratory of Hand Function Reconstruction, Ministry of Public Health from July 2003 to December 2003. Four male SD rats, of clean degree, were used in this experiment. Chitosan-collagen film was made in Qisheng Biomaterial Technique Institute, Shanghai, Schwann cells activator solution was made in our laboratory (self-made).METHODS: After rats were anaesthenia, the sciatic nerve was cut off to perform predegeneration for 7 days. Another anaesthenia later, the rats were euthanized. Both sides of sorciatic nerves were cut off quickly and put in the D-HANK's solution containing penicillin and streptomycin.Epineurium was eliminated and chipped into 1 mm pieces, then put in the centrifuge tube containing 5 g/L trypsinase and 0.6 g/L collagenase. 0.5 mL activator solution every 2 mL liquid was added and the activated Schwann cells were harvested with the way of two-step enzymolysis. 2×107 L-1 activated Schwann cells in 200 μL were inoculated to Chitosan-collagen film and Petri dish . Two weeks later, cellular growth was observed under phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope. Cellular purity was identified with S-100 staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Drawing cell growth curve and confirming in vitro doubling time. ②Observation of activated Schwanri cells under an inverted phase contrast microscope. ③ Observation of activated Schwann cells inoculated on Chitosan-collagen film under scanning electron microscope.RESULTS: ① Confirmation of in vitro doubling time: Concentration of activated Schwann cells inoculated on both Chitosan-collagen and Petri dish was 2×107 L-1, the final concentration was up to 3.0×108 L-1 and 2.0×108 L-1 respectively 2 weeks later. Doubling time of activated Schwann cells cultured on Chitosan-collagen film was 4 days calculated according to DT=(t-t0) lg2/(lgn-lgn0). ②Observation of activated Schwanncells under an inverted microscope: 24 hours later, the activated Schwann cells inoculated to Petri dish mostly changed from spherical to long shuttle-shape,mutation appeared and most were two-pole shape, fewer were three-pole shape; Morphologically, there was no significant difference between activated Schwann cells inoculated on Chitosan-collagen film and on Petri dish. Activated Schwann cells inoculated to Chitosan-collagen film were like "words cayed on the sand" under phase contrast microscope and the purity was over 95%. ③ Observation of activated Schwann cells inoculated to Chitosan-collagen under scanning electron microscope: Most of activated Schwann cells grew in the introcession of Chitosan-collagen or closely to surface of Chitosan-collagen, presenting regular head-to-end connection and adhesion to Chitosan-collagen film. The cell body was fusiform,with diameter of 4-6 μm, 60-80 μm in length. Cells were shuttle-shape with some small branches. Morphology of Chitosan-collagen film was still complete at week 1.CONCLUSION: There exists great affinity between Chitosan-collagen film and high-purity activated Schwann cell; so tissue-engineering scaffold made of the two components probably promote peripheral nerve regeneration.

Purpose To observe exogenous epidermal growth factor (EGF) influence upon sensory neurons axotomy-induced and change ultra-structure of sensory. Methods Eighteen male Sprague-Dawely rats weighing 180-200 g(8-9 weeks of age)were randomly divided into two groups.One as control,the other was treated with EGF.Sciatic nerve injury model was set up by transecting left side sciatic nerve at 0.5 cm away from performed muscle.The proximal stump of sciatic nerve was ligated to inhibit nerve regeneration.Then 5 μl of normal saline in the control groups and an equal volume of EGF solution (containing 10 μg EGF) in the EGF treated groups were injected into the proximal of ligated nerve.The rats were sacrificed in 7,14,28 days of operative intervals respectively and transcardialy perfused with 4% para-fromaladehyde.The L5 dorsal root ganglion(DRG) were harvested.Eletromicroscope technique was used to observe the changes of L5 DRG sensory neurons axotomy-induced. Results A series of changes happened in the control group.The size of the nucles decreased.Nucleoplasm was scattered.The nucleolus was pale.Edema,loss of crest and matrix was found in the mitochondria. Satellite cells detached from the soma.The ultrastructure of L5 DRG sensory neurons in EGF groups get near to normal following nerve injury. Conclusions EGF could protect sensory neurons.
RESUMO
Purpose To study the relationship between sympathetic nerve and the branches of primary sensory neurons in dominating cervical zygapophyseal joints with the HRP retrograde tracing methods.To explore the mechanism of the external intervertebral foramen's cryical nerve compression syndrome with neck-shoulder pain and the symptom of head and face regions. Methods 8 Wistar rats were used with the right side as experimental side and the left side as control side.5 μl of 30% HRP solution was injected into the C5/C6 cervical zygapophyseal joint capsule of the right side by microinjection syringe and 5 μl of 0.9% normal saline was injected into the left side as control.The animals survived for 48 hours and were killed by perfusing through ascending aorta.The C1-T1 DRG,cervical sympathetic ganglia and trigeminal ganglia on both sides were sectioned by frozen section method,and treated with TMB method.The HRP labeled cells in sections were observed under optical microscope.The classification and count of HRP labeled cells in DRG and cervical sympathetic ganglia on experimental sides were analysed by image pattern analysis system. Results There were HRP labeled cells in middle cervical ganglia,inferior cervical ganglia (stellate ganglia) and C5-C7 DRG on experimental sides after HRP injection.Most of the labeled cells were small or middle size.The sum of mean area and the mean optical density of HRP labeled cells were larger in the middle cervical ganglia and C6 DRG than that in inferior cervical ganglia(stellate ganglia) and C5 or C7 DRG separately (P<0.01).There wasn't any HRP labeled cell in C1-T1 DRG of control side and in trigeminal ganglia. Conclusions The cervical zygapophyseal joint mainly dominated by the sensory branches of the three cervical nerves next to it and by the branches of the sympathetic nerves.It may be related to the causing of neck-shoulder pain and the symptoms of head and face regions of patients with the external intervertebral foramen's cervical nerve compression
