石斛合剂对高脂高糖糖尿病大鼠心肌细胞Ca^2+代谢的影响

目的以糖尿病心肌病大鼠为研究对象,探讨石斛合剂对糖尿病心肌病心肌细胞Ca^2+代谢的影响。方法 Wistar大鼠24只,取5只作为正常组,余19只采用高脂高糖饮食联合链脲佐菌素腹腔注射进行糖尿病心肌病造模。成模后,随机分为模型组、二甲双胍组、石斛合剂组。二甲双胍组、石斛合剂组分别予二甲双胍、石斛合剂灌胃,正常组、模型组予生理盐水灌胃。4周后,测空腹血糖,取左心室心肌组织进行组织病理学观察和心肌细胞内游离钙(MyoCa^2+)浓度测定,Western blot法检测肌浆网Ca^2+-ATP酶(SERCA2a)、L型钙通道α1C亚单位蛋白(CACNA1C)蛋白表达,RT-PCR法测定SERCA2a mRNA表达。结果石斛合剂组心肌纤维较模型组、二甲双胍组排列整齐,断裂较少。与正常组比较,模型组血糖、心肌细胞MyoCa^2+含量和CACNA1C蛋白表达明显升高(P<0.01,P<0.05),SERCA2a mRNA和蛋白表达明显降低(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,石斛合剂组血糖、心肌细胞MyoCa^2+含量和CACNA1C蛋白表达明显降低(P<0.01,P<0.05),SERCA2a mRNA和蛋白表达明显升高(P<0.01,P<0.05);二甲双胍组血糖明显降低(P<0.01)。与二甲双胍组比较,石斛合剂组心肌细胞MyoCa^2+含量明显降低(P<0.01,P<0.05),血糖、SERCA2a mRNA和蛋白表达明显升高(P<0.05)。结论石斛合剂通过提高SERCA2a mRNA和蛋白表达,加快摄取Ca^2+的速率,降低细胞质Ca^2+负荷,缓解钙超载,最终达到维持糖尿病心肌病钙稳态的作用,有效维持心肌细胞的正常收缩舒张功能;其降糖作用不是预防糖尿病心肌病的主要机理,而在于抑制CACNA1C蛋白表达,抑制钙诱导钙释放过程。

基于病因病机分析各省市新型冠状病毒肺炎的中医药防治

新型冠状病毒肺炎属于中医学“疫病”范畴。疫情爆发以来,全国各省市卫生行政管理部门坚持中西医结合原则,陆续制定了各省市的中医药防治方案,三因制宜,分期分型辨证并不断完善。笔者全面收集并整理相关信息,基于病因病机分析了各省市中医药防治方案,认为此次疫病是外感疫气,病位主要在肺卫,病邪主要表现为“毒、湿、热、虚、寒”。此“毒”即为疫气,武汉遇暖冬,非其时而有其气而发疫,一气一病,播散流行,治疫必先治毒;“湿”邪之地在南北方各占一半,东西部均有,在南方源于季节和地域,在北方可由寒挟杂,治疗均应祛湿;“热”主要见于南方,为南方常见的病邪,亦可因湿毒入里,湿郁化热,而在北方热与湿同现,主要是因湿毒入里,湿郁化热,治热均以清为主;“虚”则主要在北方,北方冬季多寒,易伤正致虚,或邪正交争激烈,伤阳伤阴致虚,宜祛邪为标,扶正为本;“寒”见于北方和南方山区,寒气过甚,易伤阳伤正,故尤其要注重预防,且以补正气为主。中医防疫治疫应三因制宜,重视预防,与时俱进。     

Delays in the Identification and Assessment of in-Hospital Stroke Patients

ObjectivesIn-hospital stroke is associated with poor outcomes. Reasons for delays, use of interventions, and presence of large vessel occlusion are not well characterized.Materials and methodsA retrospective single center cohort of 97 patients with in-hospital stroke was analyzed to identify factors associated with delays from last known normal to symptom identification and to stroke team alerting. Stroke interventions and presence of large vessel occlusion were also assessed.ResultsStrokes were predominantly on surgery services (70%), ischemic (82%), and severe (median NIHSS 16; interquartile range [IQR] 6-24). There were long delays from last known normal to symptom identification (median 5.1 hours, IQR 1.0-19.7 hours), symptom identification to stroke team alerting (median 2.1 hours, IQR 0.5-9.9 hours), and total time from last known normal to alerting (median 11.4 [IQR 2.7-34.2] hours). In univariable analysis, being on a surgical service, in an ICU, intubated, and higher NIHSS were associated with delays. In multivariable analysis only intubation was independently associated with time from last known normal to symptom identification (coefficient 20 hours, IQR 0.2 – 39.8, p=0.047). Interventions were given to 17/80 (21%) ischemic stroke patients; 3 (4%) received IV tPA and 14 (18%) underwent thrombectomy. Vascular imaging occurred in 57/80 (71%) ischemic stroke patients and 21/57 (37%) had large vessel occlusion.ConclusionsHospitalized patients with stroke experience long delays from symptom identification to stroke team alerting. Intubation was strongly associated with delay to symptom identification. Although stroke severity was high and large vessel occlusion common, many patients did not receive acute interventions.     

Acupoint stimulation for long COVID: A promising intervention: 穴位刺激治疗长新冠:一种有前景的干预措施

“Long COVID” is a sustained symptom following infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). According to recent statistics, at least 65 million people have long COVID, which poses a long-term threat to human health. The pathogenic mechanisms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are complex and affect multiple organs and systems. Common symptoms include palpitations, breathing difficulties, attention and memory deficits, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. It is difficult to achieve satisfactory treatment effect with a single intervention. Currently, treatment strategies for long COVID are still in the exploratory stage, and there is an urgent need to find appropriate and effective methods for long COVID treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating the various phases of COVID-19. Previous studies have shown that acupoint stimulation therapy is effective in improving palpitations, dyspnea, cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms in patients. According to previous studies, acupoint stimulation may improve various symptoms related to long COVID. This paper discusses the potential application value of acupoint stimulation in the treatment of long COVID-related symptoms, based on the common sequelae of various systems involved in long COVID, and the effect of acupoint stimulation in the treatment of similar symptoms and diseases in recent years.     

血小板与性别的交互作用对食管鳞癌根治术患者预后的影响

  目的  探讨血小板(platelets, PLT)对食管鳞癌(esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC)根治术患者预后的影响及其与性别、年龄间的交互作用。  方法  选取2014年2月1日―2018年11月30日582例符合入组标准的ESCC患者进行回顾性分析。Kaplan-Meier法用于绘制生存曲线并行log-rank检验。运用Cox比例风险回归模型进行多因素分析,计算总生存时间(overall survival, OS)、无病生存时间(disease free survival, DFS)的危险系数(hazard ratios, HR)及其95% CI。  结果  PLT仅与性别存在交互作用(HR=2.417, 95% CI: 1.150~5.078, P=0.018)。分层分析显示,男性PLT增多组的死亡风险是PLT正常组的1.713倍(HR=1.713, 95% CI: 1.203~2.441, P=0.003);女性PLT增多组与PLT正常组预后差异无统计学意义(HR=0.590, 95% CI: 0.299~1.165, P=0.129)。  结论  PLT与性别对ESCC根治术患者预后的预测存在交互作用,采用PLT预测患者预后时应注意性别的差异。

下颈椎椎弓根螺钉内固定技术应用研究进展

低位颈椎(C3～7)亦称为下颈椎,其活动度较大且应力分布集中,为颈椎病好发部位.在脊柱内固定出现之前,颈椎病主要采用非手术治疗,包括药物、牵引、外固定器等.随着外科手术的发展和内固定器械的进步,侧块螺钉和椎弓根螺钉内固定技术的应用,为创伤性和非创伤性颈椎疾患的刚性内固定奠定了基础.椎弓根螺钉由于其独特的生物力学优势,越来越多地应用于颈椎创伤、退行性颈椎病、颈椎肿瘤等疾病的治疗.然而,由于下颈椎椎弓根解剖结构及毗邻关系复杂,手术风险及难度均较大,对术者操作技术要求较高.如何提高置钉的安全性并降低并发症发生率,备受脊柱外科医师关注.本文通过广泛查阅近年国内外下颈椎椎弓根螺钉内固定技术的相关文献,对其临床应用情况进行分析总结,以期为临床工作提供参考和借鉴,现综述如下.
