Objective To investigate the expression of gene Fmr1 in rats cortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus areas after the rapid eyes movement ( REM ) sleep deprivation .Methods Using the modified multiple platform method (MMPM), 126 rats were randomly and averagely divided into three groups , the normal control group ( CC), the environmental control group (TC) and the sleep deprivation group (SD).Each group was detected on day 1, day 2, day 3, day 5, day 7, and day 9, and the sample tissues were extracted from 7 rats at each time point.Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were operated to analysis the expression of gene Fmr 1.Results The expressions of gene Fmr1 were increased gradually in the cortex and thalamus of the SD group after 3 days ( P <0.05 ) , and the expressions in the CC and TC groups had no significant difference (P >0.05).The expressions of gene Fmr1 were decreased gradually in hippocampus for SD after 3 days ( P <0.05 ) , and that in the CC and TC groups had no significant difference ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion The expressions of gene Fmr 1 were increased gradually in the cortex and thalamus but decreased in the hippocampus in the SD group after 3 days.

Objective To explore the medication law of TCM external treatment for chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus(CKD-aP)by data mining technology.Methods Literature of TCM external treatment for CKD-aP was retrieved from China Knowledge Network(CNKI),VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform(VIP),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform(Wanfang Data),and China Biology Medicine(CBM)since the establishment of the databases to March 31,2023.After screening according to the inclusion criteria,the final inclusion in the literature was determined,effective prescriptions were extracted,and entered into Excel 2019 to establish a prescription database.Excel 2019,SPSS Modeler 18.0,Origin 2021,and Gephi 0.10 softwares were used to perform frequency statistics,gender and taste meridian statistics,association rule analysis,and clustering analysis on prescription drugs.Results Totally 103 effective prescriptions were included,involving 133 kind of Chinese materia medica,with a total frequency of 978 times and 28 drugs with frequency≥10.The top 10 drugs were Dictamni Cortex,Kochiae Fructus,Sophorae Flavescentis Radix,Angelicae Sinensis Radix,Cnidii Fructus,Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,Chuanxiaong Rhizoma,Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma,Saposheikovize Radix and Schizonepetae Herba,with cold and warm as the main properties,bitter,pungent,and as the main sweet tastes,and liver,heart,stomach,and spleen meridians as the main meridians.The association rule analysis yielded 34 groups of commonly used drug pairs.Clustering analysis obtained 4 clusters of prescriptions.Conclusion TCM external treatment for CKD-aP is mostly based on draining wind and clearing heat,drying dampness and relieving itching,nourishing blood and dispelling wind.The commonly used drugs are Dictamni Cortex,Kochiae Fructus,Sophorae Flavescentis Radix,and Angelicae Sinensis Radix,and the commonly used prescriptions include modified Shechuangzi Powder,Danggui Yinzi Decoction,Mahuang Guizhi Decoction and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction.

Objective:
To evaluate whether the self-designed single-channel intracavitary applicator yields equivalent clinical efficacy and safety to the standard Fletcher-type three-channel applicator in the high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer.
Methods:
From December 2011 to April 2017, patients initially diagnosed with cervical cancer were randomly assigned into the external beam radiotherapy (EBRT)+ single-channel intracavitary applicator group (the patent single-channel group) and EBRT+ the Fletcher applicator group. Whole pelvis irradiation was delivered with 6-MV photons via a four-field box variant or anterior and posterior parallel fields. Five to six fractions of intracavitary brachytherapy were performed at a dose of 7 Gy at point A once a week after 30 Gy (BED at point A: 80-90 Gy). Chemotherapy was given with intravenous injection of cisplatin at a dose of 40 mg/m2 once weekly during EBRT.Clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated after the treatment.
Results:
In total, 150 eligible cases were assigned into the Fletcher applicator group and 149 cases into the patent single-channel group. The short-term clinical efficacy and acute toxicity did not significantly differ between two groups. The response rate was 94.0% in the Fletcher group, and 94.7% in the patent single-channel group. In the Fletcher applicator group, 76(50.7%) patients developed ≥ grade 3 hematologic toxicity and 61(40.9%) in the patent group (

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the attitudes and skills of grief counseling in the front-line medical workers from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) designated hospitals in Wuhan for the bereaved family members and to provide the basis for proper hospital management strategies.
METHODS:
The convenience sampling method was applied to select 422 medical workers who kept touch with the bereaved family members in five COVID-19 designated hospitals in Wuhan from January to February 2020. Questionnaire regarding grief counseling attitudes and questionnaire regarding grief counseling skills were used to evaluate the attitudes and skills of grief counseling in medical workers. The scores of grief counseling attitudes and skills in group of different characteristics were further compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the attitudes and skills of grief counseling in medical workers.
RESULTS:
The scores of grief counseling attitudes in medical workers were 15-46 (33.00±9.31). Length of service, professional title, whether or not receiving relevant training, frequency of contact with bereaved family members contributed to impacting the medical workers' attitudes of grief counseling (all <0.05). The scores of grief counseling skills in medical workers were 9-30 (19.30±4.42). Length of service, professional title, religion, whether or not receiving relevant training, frequency of contact with bereaved family members contributed to impacting the medical workers' skills of grief counseling (all <0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the attitudes and skills of grief counseling in the medical workers (=0.608, <0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
The attitudes and skills of grief counseling in the medical workers from COVID-19 designated hospitals in Wuhan still need to be improved. Grief counseling group and a long-term, comprehensive training system are recommended.
