A case of artificial liver therapy for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injuryAbstract:This article reports the successful management of a patient with drug-induced liver injury(DILI)secondary to anti-tuberculosis medications.The patient was admitted due to progressive jaundice,abdominal distension,and fatigue lasting for 1 week.Artificial liver support therapy combining plasma exchange with double plasma molecular adsorption system was administered on the 2nd and 4th days after admission,respectively.Meanwhile,the anti-tuberculosis regimen was adjusted to isoniazid 0.3 g once daily+rifampicin 0.3 g once daily(reduced dose)+pyrazinamide 1.0 g once daily+ethambutol 0.75 g once daily,and liver function was well-tolerated during follow-up re-evaluations.After two sessions of artificial liver therapy,the patient's total bilirubin decreased from 384.2 μmol/L to 76.9 μmol/L,coagulation function returned to normal,and symptoms of jaundice and abdominal distension were significantly alleviated.The results suggest that for patients with severe anti-tuberculosis-related DILI,early artificial liver support combined with an individualized anti-tuberculosis treatment regimen can effectively improve clinical outcomes.
Exploration and analysis of the optimal prescription of task-oriented upper limb rehabilitation robot for upper limb motor function recovery in hemiplegic patients at the synergistic movement stage after strokeAbstract:Objective To explore the optimal prescription of task-oriented upper limb rehabilitation robot for upper limb motor function recovery in hemiplegic patients at the synergistic movement stage after stroke.Methods A total of 112 patients with upper limb hemiplegia after stroke at the synergistic movement stage,who were hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 1,2024 to April 30,2025,were selected.The patients were divided into control group,observation group A,observation group B,and observation group C by random number table method,with 28 cases in each group.The control group received routine rehabilitation training on the basis of basic drug treatment,while observation groups A,B,and C received low-intensity,moderate-intensity,and high-intensity task-oriented upper limb rehabilitation robot training respectively on the basis of basic drug treatment,with an intervention cycle of 4 weeks.The upper limb spasticity[modified Ashworth scale(MAS)score],upper limb motor function[Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity(FMA-UE)score],range of motion,and trajectory tracking error were compared among the groups before intervention(T0),at 2 weeks of intervention(T1),and at 4 weeks of intervention(T2).Linear regression analysis and restricted cubic spline(RCS)model were used to conduct a dose-response analysis between the intensity of rehabilitation exercise training and the improvement of upper limb function.Results Overall analysis showed that the MAS score,FMA-UE score,flexor co-activation rate,Brunnstrom stage,motor space range,and trajectory tracking error in each group improved significantly over time,with statistically significant differences between groups and interaction effects(all P<0.05).Further comparisons revealed that in observation groups A,B,and C,the MAS score and flexor co-activation rate[observation group A at T0,T,,and T2:(79±4)%,(74±6)%,(67±5)%respectively;observation group B:(79±7)%,(68±7)%,(61±4)%respectively;observation group C:(81±6)%,(77±4)%,(69±6)%respectively]decreased gradually,while the FMA-UE score and motor space range increased progressively,and the trajectory error decreased stepwise(all P<0.05).The control group also showed certain improvements at T2 compared with T0(all P<0.05),but the magnitude was less than that of the observation groups.At T1 and T2,all observation groups outperformed the control group(all P<0.05),with observation group B showing the most significant improvements,which were superior to those of groups A and C(all P<0.05),while no statistically significant differences were found between group A and group C(all P>0.05).The Brunnstrom stage showed the most significant improvement in group B at T2.RCS analysis revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship between intervention intensity and FMA-UE score,with the moderate-intensity group achieving the optimal intervention effect.Conclusion Rehabilitation training based on task-oriented upper limb rehabilitation robot can significantly improve upper limb spasticity and motor function,reduce flexor co-activation rate,increase range of motion,and decrease trajectory tracking error in hemiplegic patients at the synergistic movement stage after stroke.The optimal rehabilitation training prescription is 30 minutes per session,5 times a week.
Expression and clinical significance of peripheral blood C-C motif chemokine ligand 19 and soluble differentiation cluster 163 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with respiratory failureAbstract:Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of C-C motif chemokine ligand 19(CCL19)and soluble differentiation cluster 163(sCD163)in peripheral blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)complicated with respiratory failure(RF).Methods A total of 196 COPD patients with RF admitted to the Department of Respiratory Medicine,the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2022 to February 2025 were selected as the COPD with RF group,98 COPD patients without RF admitted during the same period were selected as the simple COPD group,and 98 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group.According to the prognosis of COPD patients with RF at 28 d after admission,they were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group.The levels of CCL19 and sCD163 in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The relationship between the levels of CCL19 and sCD163 in peripheral blood and the prognosis of COPD patients with RF and its predictive efficacy were analyzed.Results The levels of CCL19 and sCD163 in the control group,the simple COPD group,and the COPD with RF group increased in sequence(all P<0.001).The 28 d poor prognosis rate of COPD patients with RF was 35.7%(70/196).Age,severity of disease,number of acute exacerbations in the past year,forced expiratory volume in first second as a percentage of predicted value(FEV1%),dyspnea grade,CCL19 and sCD163 were associated with the prognosis of COPD patients with RF(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that severe disease,increased number of acute exacerbations in the past year,high CCL19 level and high sCD163 level were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in COPD patients with RF,and high FEV1%was an independent protective factor(all P<0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of peripheral blood CCL19,sCD163 levels and their combination to predict the prognosis of COPD patients with RF were 0.776,0.791 and 0.879,respectively,and the combination of the two was better than their single prediction efficiency(all P<0.05).Conclusion The increased levels of CCL19 and sCD163 in peripheral blood are related to the aggravation and poor prognosis of COPD patients with RF,and the combination of the two has a high predictive effect on the prognosis.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor-related adverse reactions and traditional Chinese medicine treatment strategiesAbstract:Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)represent a major breakthrough in modern medical cancer therapy,pioneering a new paradigm for tumor treatment.However,immune-related adverse events(irAEs)are critical constraints affecting patients' ability to sustain immunotherapy and also one of the important limiting factors for expanding the application scope of immunotherapy.The onset time of irAEs is unpredictable,with variable symptoms ranging in severity.Their unique pathogenic mechanisms render the management of these adverse events particularly complex.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)serves as a vital cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of drug-induced adverse reactions.From the perspective and theory of TCM,enhancing the understanding and management of irAEs,as well as researching and constructing optimal prediction models and TCM intervention strategies for irAEs,are topics worthy of exploration at present.
Review and prospect of homeostatic medicineAbstract:This study adopted a method combining literature review and theoretical analysis.Firstly,it systematically reviewed the evolution of the concept of homeostatic medicine,covering its various stages from germination,establishment to in-depth development.Secondly,it focused on interpreting the theoretical framework of homeostatic medicine proposed by Professor Liu Chengyuan in the early 21st century,and further explored the intrinsic connection between this framework and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory.According to the theory of homeostatic medicine,homeostasis is the core characteristic for the healthy survival of living organisms,which is a complex system collaboratively composed of three states:material state,energy state and information state.These three states are interrelated and indispensable,maintaining the dynamic balance of the life system through nonlinear interaction.The theory of homeostatic medicine has formed a holistic cognitive framework for the life system.Under this framework,modern medicine(focusing on the material state)and TCM(focusing on the energy state and information state)have achieved complementary unification.As a core concept at the level of life sciences,the theory of homeostatic medicine not only provides strong theoretical support for the modern construction of the TCM theoretical system,but also profoundly influences the future medical health concepts,medical research directions and clinical medical practice.From the perspective of homeostatic medicine theory,it is expected to truly establish a"new medicine"integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
