Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. It is characterized by multisystem hamartomatous lesions and neuropsychiatric manifestations. Here we report a young male patient with TSC involving multiple organs, caused by a heterozygous frameshift mutation in TSC2 (c.2071delC, p.Arg691Alafs^*7). The patient initially presented with classic facial angiofibromas and hypomelanotic macules, and subsequently developed psychiatric and behavioral disturbances with auditory hallucinations. Neuroimaging revealed an intracranial mass lesion, which was confirmed as a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma on postoperative histopathology following surgery performed at an outside institution. After admission, the patient underwent a comprehensive diagnostic workup, and multidisciplinary treatment evaluation revealed extensive multisystem involve-ment, including the nervous system, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, eyes, pancreas, liver and bones. Combined with relevant literature, this article discusses the molecular mechanisms, clinical phenotypes, and comprehensive management of TSC, in order to provide a reference for the standardized and individualized management of this disease.

ObjectiveTaking the oligosaccharides in Rehmanniae Radix（RR） as the research object， the content determination method based on high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection（HPLC-ELSD） and thin layer chromatography（TLC） identification method were established to explore the content and distribution of oligosaccharides in different RR herbs and decoction pieces. MethodA total of 10 batches of fresh and raw RR， 12 batches of RR decoction pieces and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata（RRP） were collected. A TLC identification method for fructose， sucrose， manninotriose， raffinose and stachyose in RR was established by using silica gel G thin-layer plates with ethyl acetate-water-anhydrous formic acid-glacial acetic acid（12∶6∶5∶4） as the developing agent and 10% sulfuric acid-ethanol solution as chromogenic agent. A HPLC-ELSD was used to determine the contents of fructose， glucose， sucrose， melibiose， raffinose， manninotriose and stachyose in different RR herbs and decoction pieces. Then principal component analysis（PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） were used to analyze the contents of 7 kinds of saccharides in RR herbs and decoction pieces， and the differential components were screened with the value of variable importance in the projection（VIP）>1. ResultThe results of TLC identification showed that fresh RR， raw RR and its decoction pieces showed spots of the same color on the corresponding positions with the control products of stachyose， raffinose and sucrose， while the TLC of RRP showed spots of the same color at corresponding positions to manninotriose and fructose controls. The results of methodological investigations of 7 analytes met the requirements of determination. Only glucose， sucrose， raffinose and stachyose were detected in 10 batches of fresh RR and 10 batches of raw RR herbs， the average contents of which were 0.84%， 4.62%， 2.42% and 57.90% in fresh samples， while those were 3.16%， 9.36%， 7.05% and 38.10% in raw samples， respectively. In 12 batches of RR decoction pieces， the contents of the above seven sugars（fructose， glucose， sucrose， melibiose， raffinose， manninotriose and stachyose） were 1.68%， 4.27%， 9.96%， 0.53%， 6.85%， 3.05% and 37.52%， respectively. In 12 batches of RRP， the contents of the above seven sugars were 10.62%， 11.01%， 1.25%， 3.35%， 1.12%， 28.16% and 6.39%， respectively. The results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that fresh RR， raw RR and RRP could be distinguished from each other by the contents of the 7 sugars， and the main differential components were stachyose， sucrose， raffinose and manninotriose. ConclusionIn terms of oligosaccharides， the contents and types of saccharides in different herbs and decoction pieces of RR are quite different， and the TLC identification method based on this can be used to distinguish raw RR from RRP， which can lay a foundation for improving the quality standard of RR and developing and applying oligosaccharides in different processed products of RR.

Objective To analyze the current situation and characteristics of risk factors in antithrombotic therapy(in-cluding antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatments)at home and abroad,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis or bleeding associated with antithrombotic therapy.Methods The literature on risk factors of an-tithrombotic therapy published in Chinese databases(China Journal Full-text Data,Wanfang Database,VIP Database)and Eng-lish databases(PubMed,Web of Science,MEDLINE)from January 2011 to November 2021 was searched and bibliometric analy-sis was performed.The visualization analysis was performed using VOS viewer software.Results A total of 595 publications were included in the analysis.The top three countries for English publications were the USA,China,and Japan.The type of stud-ies were predominantly cohort studies,with sample sizes mostly being below 1 000.Risk factors for antithrombotic therapy are cat-egorized into those affecting antiplatelet drugs,warfarin,and new oral anticoagulants.Age,gender,renal function,and combination of antithrombotic drugs are common risk factors,and different risk factors of antithrombotic drugs also have their characteristics.Conclusion While there is substantial research on risk factors in antithrombotic therapy globally,the sample size needs to be improved.Pharmacists should provide individualized medication services based on different drugs and different groups to ensure medication safety for patients.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of maggot for psoriasis-like lesions in mice from the perspective of immune stress and complement activation regulation.Methods Thirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,maggot(1.25%,2.5%,and 5%)groups,and Benvitimod(1%)group.Psoriasis-like lesions were induced by application of imiquimod cream,and the severity of skin lesions was assessed using the modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(MPASI)score.Auricular swelling of the mice was observed,and histopathological changes of the skin lesions were examined with HE staining.Scratching behavior of the mice was observed and the spleen index was calculated.Toluidine blue staining was used to detect mast cells in the skin lesions,and serum levels of IgG,IgM,the complements CH50,C1s,C3,C3a,C5 and C5a,and the inflammatory factors IL-23,IL-17A and TNF-α were determined with ELISA.Results In mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions,treatment with the maggot at the 3 doses significantly decreased MPASI score,alleviated auricular swelling and pathologies in the skin lesions,reduced scratching behaviors,spleen index,and the number of mast cells in the lesions.Treatment with high-dose maggot significantly lowered serum levels of IgG,C1s,C3a,C5a,IL-23,IL-17A and TNF-α and the levels of C1s,C3,C3a,C5 and C5a in the lesion tissue,and increased serum levels of CH50,C3,and C5.The therapeutic effect of maggot showed a dose-effect dependence.Conclusion Maggot can alleviate psoriasis-like skin lesions in mice by inhibiting immune stress and complement activation.

Objective To explore the current status of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)symptoms among military officers at high altitude,determine the effects of childhood trauma experiences on the symptoms,and investigate the role of parent-child alienation in the process.Methods A cross-section study was conducted on 238 male military officers at high altitude subjected with cluster sampling.All of them were surveyed with childhood trauma question(CTQ),inventor of alienation toward parents(IAP),and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist(PCL-C)in October 2021.Then the mediating effect of parent-child alienation on childhood trauma and PTSD symptoms was investigated.Results ①The prevalence of PTSD-positive symptoms was 8.5％among the military officers at high altitude.②The prevalence of PTSD-positive symptoms was 15.6％for the military officers with childhood trauma,which was significantly higher than that of those without childhood trauma(5.1％,Chi-square=7.27,P＜0.01).③ PTSD symptoms,childhood trauma experiences and parent-child alienation were significantly positively correlated with each other(r=0.35～0.76,P＜0.01).④ Both childhood physical abuse(β=1.05,P＜0.001)and parent-child alienation(β=0.39,P＜0.01)could positively predict the severity of PTSD symptoms for them.⑤Parent-child alienation played a partial mediating role in the association between physical abuse and PTSD symptoms(β=1.16,95％CI:0.54～1.75).Conclusion Military officers at high altitude with childhood trauma have a higher prevalence of PTSD-positive symptoms and more severe symptoms.Childhood physical abuse can not only directly affect PTSD symptoms,but also indirectly affect its severity through parent-child alienation.

Objective To analysis the effectiveness and cost of Internet-based anticoagulation clinic versus traditional anticoagulation clinic treatment at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods We reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of patients receiving anticoagulation management through Internet-based outpatient care and traditional outpatient care in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,from June 1,2020 to June 30,2021.Variability in time in therapeutic range(TTR)and international normalized ratio(INR)were calculated for enrolled patients.Patients meeting TTR≥60%and INR variability<0.65 were considered optimal anticoagulation quality.Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the patients'perspective,with results expressed using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER).Results In the"Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care"and"traditional face-to-face anticoagulation outpatient care"groups,19 individuals(67.86%)and 67 individuals(76.14%)met the criteria for optimal anticoagulation quality,respectively.The mean TTR was(71.83±19.17)%in the Internet-based group and(71.74±23.41)%in the traditional face-to-face group,indicating similar levels of warfarin anticoagulation quality between the two groups.The ICER was calculated as 327.17 yuan,less than the per capita gross domestic product(GDP)of 2021.Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic,Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital's Internet-based anticoagulation outpatient care effectively complemented the government's epidemic control policies.It ensured equivalent anticoagulation outcomes and significantly reduced patients'financial burdens.This approach offers new insights and guidance for optimizing healthcare services in the post-pandemic era.
