30 sexually mature, virgin female SD rats, weighed 200-270 g were mated and used for the study of the teratogenic effect of N, N-methylene-bis (2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole) (Bis-A-TDA) on fetal neural tube formation and to explore the possible morphological mechanism of neural tube defects (NTD). In the morning of day 10 of gestation, the experimental group was administered with 10mg/kg body weight Bis-A-TDA mixed in peanut oil, and the control group with the same amount of peanut oil only. The results Showed that the incidence of NTD was 52.9% and the majority of NTD were excencephaly and encephalocele in the experimental group. In the early stage of NTD formation, some neuroepithelial cells showed vacuolated degeneration and necrosis, and the mitochondria became swollen and with indistinct or even disappeared crista. The intercellular spaces widened, and some cells escaped into the lumen of neural tube. The mitotic index of neuroepitbelial cells were sharply decreased. In the closure region of the telencephalon, similar changes of the neuroepithelium were present also, and decreased migration of mesodermal cells was noted. We consider the failure of cranial neural folds to approximate and closure was caused mainly by the damage of neuroepithelial cells, inhibition of cell proliferation, alteration of intercellular junctions and the changes of topographical arrangement of the neuroepithelium. The damage and delayed migration of mesodermal cells might also be involved in this event.

OBJECTIVE To re-evaluate systematic review/meta-analysis of escitalopram in the treatment of depression, and to provide reference for clinical use of escitalopram. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed and the Cochrane Library, etc., systematic review/meta-analysis of escitalopram in the treatment of depression were collected from the construction of the database to May 17, 2022. The literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the basic information of the included literatures was extracted, and the methodological quality, reporting quality and evidence quality of the included literatures were evaluated by using AMSTAR 2 scale, PRISMA statement, and GRADE system, respectively. RESULTS A total of 16 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were included. The results of efficacy comparison showed that escitalopram in the treatment of depression was superior to sertraline in improving the total effective rate, and was comparable to paroxetine, duloxetine and fluoxetine in improving cure rate. The results of safety comparison showed that the safety of escitalopram was higher than that of paroxetine and venlafaxine. The overall methodological quality evaluation of AMSTAR 2 scale was low, and all of them were rated as extremely low; main reason was the lack of many key items. PRISMA score was between 12 and 23 points. Among them, there were 5 literatures with scores >21 points, and the reports were relatively complete, 10 literatures with scores between 15 and 21 points, and the reports had certain defects, and 1 literature with scores ≤15 points, with serious information missing. The results of the grading of GRADE evidence showed that, of the 160 included outcome indicators, 69 were moderate evidence, 64 were low-level evidence, and 27 were very low-level evidence. CONCLUSIONS The total effective rate of escitalopram in improving depressive patients is not inferior to that of sertraline; compared with paroxetine, escitalopram is safer. However, the evidence level of the above conclusions is low.
