Zhonghua Wei Zhong Bing Ji Jiu Yi Xue

November 2024

Department of Critical Care Medicine, the 940 Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA, Lanzhou 730050, Gansu, China.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common organ dysfunction of sepsis, and its incidence and mortality are increasing,which brings heavy economic burden to patients and society. Early diagnosis and effective intervention can block the occurrence and progression of SA-AKI effectively, improve prognosis, and reduce medical costs.

Article Synopsis
  • Radiation proctitis (RP) is a damage to the rectum caused by radiation therapy, impacting cancer treatment outcomes and patients' quality of life; ginsenoside Rg3 from ginseng shows potential as a treatment for RP in a rat study.* -
  • In the study, rats were divided into different treatment groups, and the effects of GRg3 were measured by analyzing inflammatory markers and changes in rectal tissue.* -
  • Results indicated that GRg3 improved the condition of rats by reducing inflammation and cell death through blocking specific signaling pathways, suggesting it could be a promising therapy for RP.*

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess changes in dry eye symptoms in 21 highly myopic patients after undergoing posterior chamber phakic refractive lens (PC-PRL) implantation, with follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-surgery.
  • Significant postoperative differences were found in the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, peaking at one week and stabilizing thereafter, while non-invasive tear break-up times decreased but returned to baseline levels by three months.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that while PC-PRL implantation affects tear film stability immediately after surgery, overall dry eye parameters either stabilized or showed no significant changes at the 3-month mark.

Exosomes derived from diabetic serum accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis.

Arch Biochem Biophys

May 2024

Department of Emergency, Gansu Provincial Hospital, Gansu, 730000, PR China. Electronic address:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been demonstrated to accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) by largely unknown mechanisms. Studies have shown that DM dysfunctional adipocyte-derived exosomes play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of remote organ functions. The present study aimed to clarify whether and how diabetic adipocyte-derived exosomes mediate the pathological regulation of OA.

Meta-analysis of FOXP3 polymorphisms and recurrent spontaneous abortion susceptibility.

Am J Reprod Immunol

March 2024

Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Gynecology, General Hospital of Ningxia, Medical University, Key Laboratory of Ministry of Education for Fertility Preservation and Maintenance, Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, China.

Background: The polymorphisms of the FOXP3 gene may mediate abnormalities in Tregs, leading to an imbalance in maternal-fetal immune tolerance and ultimately resulting in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). This meta-analysis aims to assess the potential association between FOXP3 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RSA using five specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Materials And Methods: By conducting a comprehensive search across databases such as EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and CBM, we identified suitable studies for inclusion in the meta-analysis.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of the Chinese medicine Cigu Xiaozhi prescription (, CGXZ) in the treatment of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by detoxification and phlegm-reducing, the effect of CGXZ prescription on ceramide-mediated lipid apoptosis in Hep G2 cells with NAFLD.

Methods: The experiment was randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group, model group, CGXZ prescription medicated serum high, medium, and low dose groups, and pioglitazone positive control group. Using 500 μmol/L free fatty acid (FFA) mixture to induce Hep G2 cells to establish NAFLD cell model, respectively, with 2%, 4%, and 6% concentration of CGXZ prescription medicated serum intervention for 24 h.

Research progress in the application of proteomics technology in brain injury.

Biomed Chromatogr

March 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Gansu Provincial Hospital, Lanzhou City, People's Republic of China.

The aim of this article is to review the application progress of proteomics technology in brain injury research in recent years, point out the current problems that need to be overcome, and explore the application prospects of proteomics analysis in brain injury. This study also aims to retrieve all literature on brain injury and proteomics and summarize it. Through searching and screening, the widespread application of proteomics technology in the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the use of a large number of TBI biomarkers were discovered.

The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in functional scores and the incidence of complications after TKA between RA and osteoarthritis. The PubMed, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched for all clinical studies up to 15 March 2023 comparing outcomes after total knee replacement in patients with RA and OA, with two review authors independently screening the literature. A total of 7,820,115 (knee-counted) cases were included in 34 studies.

The First Clinical Medical College of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Lanzhou 730000, Gansu Province, China,Department of Hematology, Gansu Provincial People's Hospital, Lanzhou 730000, Gansu Province, China,E-mail:

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how Agaricus blazei extract FA-2-b-β can help overcome drug resistance in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell lines.
  • Various laboratory methods showed that FA-2-b-β effectively inhibited cell growth, induced cell death, and altered the cell cycle in leukemia cells.
  • The findings suggest that FA-2-b-β works by decreasing key proteins associated with drug resistance and might act through the Wnt signaling pathway, indicating its potential therapeutic role in T-ALL treatment.

Background: Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) commonly occurs in overweight or obese individuals, it is increasingly being identified in the lean population. The association between lean and an increased risk of all-cause mortality among patients with NAFLD remains controversial. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to evaluate this association and compare the long-term outcomes of lean NAFLD patients and non-lean NAFLD patients.
