Objective To explore the influencing mechanism of Zhengan Xifeng Decoction on blood pressure and gastrointestinal motility in SHR. Methods After 15 WKY and 90 SHR rats were were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, Benner Pury group, amlodipine group, Zhengan Xifeng Decoction high, middle, and low dose groups. The normal control group and model group were fed with distilled water daily. Rats in treatment group were administered with corresponding drugs daily. Blood pressure, gastric residual and intestinal propulsive ratio of rats was detected after eight-week intervention. Results Compared with the blank control group, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and mean arterial pressure were significantly higher than WKY rats of same age (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and mean arterial pressure of treatment groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, gastric residual rate of rats in the model group significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the gastric residual rate in Zhengan Xifeng high dose group increased significantly, and intestinal propulsive ratio significantly increased (P<0.05), without statistical significance in the other treatment groups. Conclusion Zhengan Xifeng Decoction can reduce blood pressure in SHR, and regulate gastrointestinal motility.

Pediatric urinary incontinence (PUI) is common in clinical practice and seriously affects the quality of life as well as physical and mental health of patients. PUI is a multi-factorial related abnormality, very complex in etiology and types. The occurrence of PUI is mostly associated with abnormal vesicourethral function. Urodynamic examination (UDS) is the golden standard to assess voiding function and diagnose the type of bladder and urethral function in children with PUI. UDS of PUI is of great clinical value in determining the cause, making treatment protocol as well as evaluating the therapeutic response. However, UDS in children has not been popularized in China, which seriously affects the diagnosis and treatment of PUI. This article reviews the research progress in the clinical application of UDS in the evaluation of PUI, in order to provide reference for improving the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

BACKGROUND:As the incidence of spinal cord injury increases with the years and axon regeneration after spinal cord injury was very difficult.How to promote the recovery from spinal cord injury and improve the transplantation efficiency of stem cells and other therapeutic cells after spinal cord injury has been the focus of clinical and scientific research. OBJECTIVE:To establish the efficient transplantation and replacement of mouse spinal cord microglia in the spinal cord injury model. METHODS:CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice,CX3CR1+/GFP mice,β-actin GFP mice and C57 BL/6J wild-type mice at 8-10 weeks of age were selected.According to the requirements of the experiment,they were randomly divided into six groups.(1)Sham operation group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used when only the lamina was removed without injury.(2)Spinal cord contusion injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(3)Spinal cord crush injury group:eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice were used.(4)Conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group:β-actin GFP mice with green fluorescent blood were surgically stitched together with C57 BL/6J wild-type mice,using eight β-actin GFP mice and eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.(5)Mr BMT-X Ray group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with X-ray radiation):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1 creER-/+::LSL-BDNF-/+-tdTomato mice were extracted and transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice for spinal cord injury modeling.(6)Mr BMT-Busulfan group(using PLX5622 to eliminate the spinal microglia and bone marrow transplantation with Busulfan):Bone marrow cells from four CX3CR1+/GFP mice were transplanted into eight C57 BL/6J wild-type mice.The percentage of cell transplantation replacement in this group was observed,and the spinal cord injury model was not established in this group.The sham operation group,spinal cord contusion injury group and spinal cord crush injury group were sampled by perfusion on day 14 after spinal cord injury.The conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group was sampled by perfusion on day 7 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-X Ray group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after spinal cord injury.Mr BMT-Busulfan group was sampled by perfusion on day 28 after transplantation.The sampling site was a 1.2 cm long spinal cord with the T10 segment as the center.In the Mr BMT-X Ray group and Mr BMT-Busulfan group,additional mouse brain tissue was retained to see if it would lead to brain transplantation and replacement.The number and proportion of transplanted and replaced cells in the damaged area were measured using transgenic mice,symbiosis and immunofluorescence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the traditional peripheral blood transplantation(9.8%)of mice in the conjoined symbiotic spinal cord strike injury group,the new transplantation methods,Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan,could greatly improve the proportion of spinal microglia transplantation and replacement,which could reach 84.8%and 95.6%,respectively.The difference was significant(P<0.05).The results showed that Mr BMT-X Ray and Mr BMT-Busulfan could achieve efficient replacement of spinal microglia cells,and could improve the problems of low cell transplantation efficiency,few survival numbers and unclear differentiation of the traditional cell transplantation methods.In addition,Mr BMT-X Ray can only replace the microglia in the spinal cord,while Mr BMT-Busulfan could avoid brain inflammation and injury caused by X-ray radiation transplantation.

【Objective】 To investigate the possibility of using voiding diary (VD) to predict desmopressin diacetate arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) and enuresis alarm (EA) in the treatment of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE). 【Methods】 A total of 100 children (aged 6 to 14 years) with PMNE treated during Jan.2018 and Oct.2022 were involved. Bladder type was classified with two-week VD. Pseudo-randomization was performed using the Danish REDCap system to group patients into the randomized group and VD group. All patients were treated for 8 weeks. 【Results】 A total of 82 cases met the inclusive criteria. The effective rate was 82.50% (33/40) and 59.52% (25/42) in the VD and randomized groups, respectively, with significant difference (χ²=5.224, P=0.022). In the randomized group, if VD was not considered, the effective rate in the DDAVP and EA subgroups was 81.82% (18/22) and 25.00% (5/20), respectively, with significant difference (χ²=13.625, P=0.000). 【Conclusion】 VD can predict the therapeutic effects of PMNE. It is necessary to record VD for two weeks before selecting appropriate treatment methods. For patients who choose treatment without reference to VD, DDAVP shows better response than EA, but the recurrence rate after discontinuation of treatment requires further follow-up.

Objective:To investigate the change of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging in the bilateral substantia nigra (SN) and red nucleus (RN) of Parkinson disease (PD), and to explore the value of CEST-MRI for the clinical application of PD.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 45 PD patients (PD group) and 21 sex-, age-, and cognitive-function matched normal control subjects (NC group) were retrospectively enrolled from December 2012 to July 2015 in Beijing Hospital. All subjects underwent brain CEST-MRI and routine MRI. Based on the MATLAB software package, the 4-pool Lorentz fitting model was applied to analyze the signal change of CEST imaging, which could acquire the mean amplitudes of the 4-pool parameters including Amide, nuclear overhauser enhancement (NOE), direct water saturation (DS) and magnetization transfer (MT) in the bilateral SN and RN. Independent samples t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare CEST parameters between the PD group and the NC group and controlled by Bonferroni correction. The combined model was constructed based on parameters with inter-group differences after correction. The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the CEST parameters and the combined model. Results:Compared with the NC group, the left SN Amide value, left RN Amide value, and right SN NOE value were reduced in the PD group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.59, corrected P=0.026; t=-3.77, corrected P=0.016; Z=-3.27, corrected P=0.017). The left SN Amide value, the left RN Amide value, the right SN NOE value, and the combined model all had good diagnostic efficacy in the differentiation of the PD group from the HC group (AUCs of 0.78, 0.79, 0.75, and 0.81, respectively). The combined model had the highest AUC value (0.81) and specificity (97.78%), the Amide value of left SN had the highest sensitivity (93.33%). Conclusions:Quantitative analysis of CEST-MRI based on the 4-pool Lorentz fitting model shows significant differences in the CEST quantitative indicators of the SN and RN between the PD group and the NC group, demonstrating good potential for clinical application in the diagnosis of PD.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and the risk of breast cancer in Chinese females.Methods:From May 2006 to December 2015, based on the Kailuan Women′s Dynamic Cohort,a total of 25 618 female employees and retirees of the Kailuan Group were included and followed. Questionnaire surveys, physical measurements and laboratory tests were used to collect baseline sociodemographic characteristics, height, weight, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, tumor incidence and outcome information. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the relationship between MS and its components (body mass index, blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid) and the risk of breast cancer in females.Results:The age of 25 618 women was (47.65±12.02) years old and median follow-up time was 8.78 years; 235 new cases of breast cancer were detected, and the incidence density was 113.19/100 000 person-years. After adjusting for age, education, income, smoking status, drinking status and other factors, people who were overweight or obese had a higher risk of breast cancer, with HR (95% CI) about 1.47 (1.12-1.93), than those with normal body mass index. Compared with those without MS abnormal components, women with two MS abnormal components had an increased risk of breast cancer ( HR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.16-2.50). With the increase of the number of MS abnormal components, the risk of breast cancer increased gradually ( Ptrend value<0.05). Conclusion:Overweight/obesity and the number of abnormal components of MS can increase the risk of breast cancer in women.

Objective:To analyze the compliance and related factors of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening among the high-risk population of lung cancer in three provinces participating in the cancer early diagnosis and early treatment program in urban areas of China.Methods:From October 2017 to October 2018, 17 983 people aged between 40 and 74 years old at high risk of lung cancer were recruited from Zhejiang, Anhui and Liaoning provinces. The basic demographic characteristics, living habits, history of the disease and family history of cancer were collected by using a cancer risk assessment questionnaire, and the data of participants examined by LDCT were obtained from the hospitals participating in the program. The screening compliance was quantified by the screening participation rate, and it was calculated as the proportion of participants completing LDCT scan among high-risk population. The related factors of LDCT screening compliance were analyzed by using a multivariate logistic regression model.Results:The age of 17 983 participants was (56.52±8.22) years old. Males accounted for 51.9% (N=9 332), and 69.5% (N=12 495) had ever smoked, including former smokers and current smokers. A total of 6 269 participants were screened by LDCT, and the screening participation rate was 34.86%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age group of 50 to 69 years old, female, passive smokers, alcohol consumption, family history of lung cancer and history of chronic respiratory diseases were more likely to be screened by LDCT, while the compliance of LDCT screening in current smokers was low.Conclusions:The LDCT screening compliance of the high-risk population of lung cancer in urban areas of China still needs to be improved. Age, sex, smoking, drinking, family history of lung cancer and history of chronic respiratory disease are associated with screening compliance.
