Chaigui granules(CG)are a compound composed of six herbal medicines with significant antidepressant effects.However,the antidepressant mechanism of CG remains unclear.In the present study,we attempted to elucidate the antidepressant mechanism of CG by regulating purine metabolism and purinergic signaling.First,the regulatory effect of CG on purine metabolites in the prefrontal cortex(PFC)of chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)rats was analyzed by ultra high-performance liquid chro-matography tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-MS/MS)targeted quantitative analysis.Meanwhile,purinergic receptors(P2X7 receptor(P2X7R),A1 receptor(A1R)and A2A receptor(A2AR))and signaling pathways(nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome pathway and cyclic adenosine mono-phosphate(cAMP)-protein kinase A(PKA)pathway)associated with purine metabolism were analyzed by western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Besides,antidepressant mecha-nism of CG by modulating purine metabolites to activate purinergic receptors and related signaling pathways was dissected by exogenous supplementation of purine metabolites and antagonism of puri-nergic receptors in vitro.An in vivo study showed that the decrease in xanthine and the increase in four purine nucleosides were closely related to the antidepressant effects of CG.Additionally,purinergic re-ceptors(P2X7R,A1R and A2AR)and related signaling pathways(NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and cAMP-PKA pathway)were also significantly regulated by CG.The results of exogenous supplementation of purine metabolites and antagonism of purinergic receptors showed that excessive accumulation of xanthine led to activation of the P2X7R-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway,and the reduction of adenosine and inosine inhibited the A1R-cAMP-PKA pathway,which was significantly ameliorated by CG.Overall,CG could promote neuroprotection and ultimately play an antidepressant role by inhibiting the xanthine-P2X7R-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and activating the adenosine/inosine-A1R-cAMP-PKA pathway.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze recurrence and progression patterns of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) in patients without whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and assess the value of WBRT in PCNSL treatment.
METHODS:
This retrospective single-center study included 27 patients with PCNSL, who experienced recurrence/progression after achieving complete remission (CR), partial remission, or stable disease following initial treatments with chemotherapy but without WBRT. The patients were followed up regularly after the treatment for treatment efficacy assessment. By comparing the anatomical location of the lesions on magnetic resonance images (MRI) at the initial diagnosis and at recurrence/progression, we analyzed the patterns of relapse/progression in patients with different treatment responses and different initial status of the lesions.
RESULTS:
MRI data showed that in 16 (59.26%) of the 27 patients, recurrence/progression occurred in out-field area (outside the simulated clinical target volume [CTV]) but within the simulated WBRT target area in 16 (59.26%) patients, and within the CTV (in-field) in 11 (40.74%) patients. None of the patients had extracranial recurrence of the tumor. Of the 11 patients who achieved CR after the initial treatments, 9 (81.82%) had PCNSL recurrences in the out-field area but within WBRT target area; of the 13 patients with a single lesion at the initial treatment, 11 (84.62%) experienced PCNSL recurrence in the out-field area but within WBRT target area.
CONCLUSIONS
Systemic therapy combined with WBRT still remains the standard treatment for PCNSL patients, especially those who achieve CR after treatment or have a single initial lesion. Future prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further explore the role of low-dose WBRT in PCNSL treatment.

Objective To explore the effects of Green model on the prevention of blood-induced occupational exposure in the nurses of the operating room. Methods In March 2016, a total of 124 operating room nurses in He'nan Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the research objects by cluster purposive sampling method and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire. The content of the questionnaire included 4 aspects:general information, the risk factors of blood-induced occupational exposure in nurses, the cognition of nurses about blood-induced occupational exposure in operating room, and the prevention protection of blood-induced occupational exposure. The problems of tendency factors, contributing factors and strengthening factors were analyzed and interfered under the theoretical frame of Green model. The total 124 nurses were reinvestigated in March 2017 to compare the nurses' protection of blood-induced occupational exposure in operating room. Results After the intervention of Green model, the score of nurses' protection of blood-induced professional exposure increased from (30.56±1.24) to (40.24±1.22), and the score of the cognition increased from (4.01±0.91) to (8.71±1.31). The differences of the scores were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of the Green model in the protection of blood-induced professional exposure can effectively improve the cognition of protection and reduce the rate of blood-induced occupational exposure in operating room.

Objective:
To analyze the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with performance status (PS) scores between 2 and 4, in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
Methods:
A total of 36 patients with advanced NSCLC with hypoxemia were reviewed. The clinical data of disease characteristics, etiology, complications, manifestation, therapy, progression, and secondary biopsy were collected. The clinical efficacy was graded according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST): complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and disease progression (PD).
Results:
All patients had hypoxemia, of whom 86.1% (31 patients) had complications and 55.6% (20 patients) had noninvasive ventilator for respiratory support. 77.8% (28 cases) received broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, and 78.6% of them got lung osmotic relief after the anti-infection treatment. 15 cases received bedside fiberoptic bronchoscopy suction, of whom two cases were treated with airway stent deposition due to airway obstruction, four cases with thoracic drainage, four cases with anticoagulation, and one with thrombolytic therapy. After these supportive treatment, the PS score of these patients decreased from 3.4±0.5 to 2.5±0.7, while SPO2 improved from (89.0±5.2)% to (95.0±3.5)%. As first-ling anti-cancer treatment, nine patients were administrated with targeted medicine orally, 13 patients with a combined chemotherapy of pemetrexed plus bevacizumab or carboplatin, eight patients with paclitaxel plus carboplatin, four patients with gemcitabine plus carboplatin, and two patients with docetaxel plus gemcitabine. In the first response evaluation, there were one case of CR, 23 cases of PR, four cases of SD, and eight cases of PD, with a clinical benefit rate of 66.7% and a disease control rate of 77.8%. A total of 22 patients experienced disease progression, of whom eight cases had a secondary biopsy and six cases had gene sequencing. Of these 36 patients, 10 (27.8%) patients survived at the last follow-up, with a progression-free survival of (10.0±6.5) months.
Conclusion
Besides prompt anti-cancer treatment and best supportive treatment should be incorporated to improve PS and improve outcome.
