Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common clinical disease causing vision loss. Risk factors such as diabetes, atherosclerosis are closely associated with RVO. Xuesaitong injection is used extensively in clinical treatment of RVO, however the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Xuesaitong injection on RVO rat model. Using a compound-target network of Xuesaitong on anti-RVO constructed by literature mining, we aim to elucidate the multi-compound, multi-target effect of Xuesaitong injection. Fifteen potential targets of Xuesaitong injection associated with inflammation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and coagulation were identified in this study. VEGF, IL-1beta and IL-6, three important targets in the compound-target network were further experimentally validated. This study provided experimental evidence for Xuesaitong injection being effective in treating RVO and a network view on its anti-RVO mode of action through a multi-compound and multiple-target mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) on infantile malnutrition.

METHODSMulticentral, randomized, controlled and single blind test was adopted. 222 infants of malnutrition were divided into an acupuncture group (n=110) and a medicine group (n=112). The acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at bilateral Sifeng (EX-UE 10), once each week, for 4 times; and the medicine group were treated with oral administration of Yiqi Jianpi Oral Liquid, twice each day, one ample each time, for 4 weeks. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by improvement of symptoms and signs in the syndrome cumulative score scale, and changes of serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), pre-albumin (PA), hemoglobin and red-cell count.

RESULTSTwo hundred and twenty-two cases were enrolled in the 4 centers and 212 cases completed the test. The acupuncture group in improvement of appetite, body weight, subcutaneous fat thickness of the abdomen, etc. were superior to the medicine group (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in improvement of the body height. There was no significant increase of serum IGF-I level in the two groups, and the acupuncture group in increase of PA was superior to the medicine group (P < 0.05). After treatment, hemoglobin and red-cell count increased significantly in the treatment group (P < 0.01), and hemoglobin increased significantly in the medicine group.

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) has obvious therapeutic effect on infantile malnutrition.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the effect of nutrition package on the nutritional status and prevalence of children in rural areas of Hainan Province, and provide scientific basis and suggestions for further improving the nutritional and health status of children in this region. Methods　Four cities and counties were randomly selected as the intervention group, and four cities and counties matched with the intervention group in terms of population, economy, social culture, maternal and child health work foundation of township health centers, physical nutrition and health status were selected as the control group.With the combination of monitoring and prospective cohort study, infants in the intervention group and the control group were studied from June 1, 2020, and they were intervened for 12 months with supplementary food nutrition package. Before and after intervention, the nutrition and health status of infants aged 6-24 months in the intervention group and the control group were investigated to evaluate the nutritional and health effects of supplementary food nutrition package for infants aged 6-24 months in rural Hainan Province. Results　A total of 999 infants were investigated, including 427 in the intervention group and 572 in the control group. After 12 months of nutritional intervention, there was no significant difference in weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ) and height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) between the intervention group and the control group (P>0.05). The rate of emaciation of the intervention group was 1.64%, which was significantly lower than 3.67% of the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the rate of growth retardation (2.81% and 3.32%, respectively) and underweight (0.47% and 1.92%, respectively) between the intervention group and the control group (P>0.05). The rate of respiratory infection and diarrhea in the intervention group were 9.13% and 1.17%, which were significantly lower than corresponding 23.25% and 3.15% in the control group (P<0.05). The hemoglobin of the intervention group and the control group were 117.24 g/L and 114.51 g/L respectively, and the rates of anemia were 11.11% and 22.84% respectively, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions　The intervention of nutrition package in rural areas of Hainan Province has achieved the expected results, and supplementary food nutrition package has reduced the incidence of malnutrition and respiratory infection and diarrhea in recent two weeks in infants and anemia to a certain extent. We should attach great importance to the supplementary nutrition package for right-age children and promote the growth and health of children in rural areas through supplementary nutrition package, and continuously improve the nutrition and health level of children in Hainan Province.

Objective To test whether multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification(MLPA)could be used for the prenatal detection of the most common aneuploidies of chromosomes 13,18,21,X,and Y.Methods 34 cases including 22 blood samples(12 with trisomy 21,1 with monosomy X,one male witll extra Y and 8 healthy persons),4 cord blood samples with Down syndrome and 8 amniotic fluid samples ( 1 with trisomy 21 and 7 normal fetuses)were recruited into this study.All samples were confirmed by karvotype analysis. DNA was extracted from blood and amniotic lysate was incubated with proteinase K.MLPA was used to determine the relative copy numbers.Results The resuhs were available within 48 h and were concordant with karyotype analysis in all but one case of amniotic fluid that was suggested to be triploid sample 69,XXY by MLPA or contaminated by maternal blood.This sample actually was found containing a number of red blood cells after centfifugation in test. In total,the concordance rate with clinical characteristics was 97.1%.The Ratio values of 13,18,21,X in normal samples were approaching 1.0 except chromosome Y having slightly higher variation in relative copy number.The difference of ratio means between the normal and trisomy 21 samples was statistically significant by one-way ANOVA(F=298.906.P=0.000).Conclusion Computer assisted MLPA with high sensitivity is a rapid,simple,automatic and reliable method for detection of common chromosomal aneuploidies.

Objective To explore the strategies for diagnosis and treatment of anomalous junction of pancreaticobiliary duct (AJPBD) complicated by acute pancreatitis. Methods The clinical dataof 22 patients with abnormal pancreaticobiliary junction were analyzed retrospectively. Results The incidence of acute pancreatitis in this series was 31.8 % (7/22), thereinto, 5 cases(71.4%) in C-Ptype (the common bile duct joining the pancreatic duct) and 2(28.6%) in P-C type (the pancreatic duct joining the common bile duct). Seven patients underwent ERCP+ EST+ ENBD. Two patients with common bile duct stones were treated with stone basket and cholecystectomy was performed in two cases with gallstone. All patients were successfully treated. The follow-up for l year showed that there was no recurrence of pancreatitis. Conclusion Acute pancreatitis usually occurs in patients with AJPBD, especially in C-P type or with gallbladder stone or common bile duct stone. ERCP+EST+ENBD and prophylactic cholecystectomy are effective to prevent and treat acute pancreatitis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the diagnostic value of bone marrow (BM) involvement detected by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

METHODSThe study population comprised 81 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. All patients had both (18)F-FDG PET/CT and standard BM biopsy at iliac crest. In 9 patients, additional direct BM biopsy at FDG-avid bone lesion was performed.

RESULTSAmong all 81 cases, 23 were diagnosed as BM involvement by PET/CT. Of the 23 positive cases 17 were confirmed by biopsy. However, only 11 cases were diagnosed by merely bilateral iliac crest biopsy. In patients in early stage of disease (18)F-FDG PET/CT had the same results as bilateral iliac crest biopsy.

CONCLUSION(18)F-FDG PET/CT is superior to standard BM biopsy in detecting BM involvement in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients. In patients with FDG-avid bone lesions, direct PET/CT-guided bone biopsy seems to be more accurate than standard BM biopsy.

Objective To explore the analgesic effect of intra-articular botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) injection in rats with adjuvant-arthritis pain,to quantify the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) associated with arthritis pain,and to investigate the retrograde axonal transport of BoNT-A into the DRG after peripheral injection.Methods Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into groups A,B,C,D and E,each of 18.A murine model of adjuvant-arthritis pain was established by injecting 50 μL of complete Freund's adjuvant into the left ankle in all the mice except those in group A.The control group A was treated with intra-articular injection of 50 μL of saline solution.Three weeks later,groups A and B were treated with a 20 μL intra-articular saline injection,while groups C,D and E received an intra-articular injection of BoNT-A at 1 U/20 μL,3 U/20 μL or 10 U/20 μL respectively.Pain threshold and muscle strength were graded before and 1,5,15 and 21 days after the modelling,as well as at 1,3,5 and 14 days after the BoNT-A treatments.Protein expression and the CGRP-positive cell number were observed,as well as any BoNT-A-cleaved synaptosomal-associated 25 kDa protein (cl-SNAP-25) in the DRG using Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Results Compared with group A,there was a significant decrease in the average mechanical withdrawal threshold and muscle strength and a significant increase in the protein expression and the CGRP-positive cell number in the other 4 groups.Compared with group B,the mechanical withdrawal threshold had increased significantly more in groups D and E at 5 days after the BoNT-A injection and in group C at 14 days after the treatment.Compared with group B,the protein expression and the number of CGRP-positive cells were significantly lower in groups D and E at 3 days after the BoNT-A injection.The decrease in group C was significant after 14 days.No significant differences were found between groups D and E in any measurement at any time point.There was no significant difference among groups B,C and D in terms of muscle strength.Five days after the BoNT-A injection,significantly decreased muscle strength was observed in group E.In addition,BoNT-A cleaved-SNAP-25 was detected in the DRG.Conclusion BoNT-A can reduce arthritis pain through inhibiting the expression of CGRP in the DRG.Its analgesic effect has a dose response.A peripheral injection of BoNT-A can arrive at the DRG through retrograde axonal transport.
