Objective:
Executive function correlates with the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) based on static heart rate variability (HRV) measurements. Our study advances this understanding by employing dynamic assessments of the PNS to explore and quantify its relationship with inhibitory control (IC).
Methods:
We recruited 31 men aged 20–35 years. We monitored their electrocardiogram (ECG) signals during the administration of the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test-II (CCPT-II) on a weekly basis over 2 weeks. HRV analysis was performed on ECG-derived RR intervals using 5-minute windows, each overlapping for the next 4 minutes to establish 1-minute intervals. For each time window, the HRV metrics extracted were: mean RR intervals, standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), low-frequency power with logarithm (lnLF), and high-frequency power with logarithm (lnHF). Each value was correlated with detectability and compared to the corresponding baseline value at t0.
Results:
Compared with the baseline level, SDNN and lnLF showed marked decreases during CCPT-II. The mean values of HRV showed significant correlation with d’, including mean SDNN (R=0.474, p=0.012), mean lnLF (R=0.390, p=0.045), and mean lnHF (R=0.400, p=0.032). In the 14th time window, the significant correlations included SDNN (R=0.578, p=0.002), lnLF (R=0.493, p=0.012), and lnHF (R=0.432, p=0.031). Significant correlation between d’ and HRV parameters emerged only during the initial CCPT-II.
Conclusion
A significant correlation between PNS and IC was observed in the first session alone. The IC in the repeated CCPT-II needs to consider the broader neural network.

三级淋巴结构(TLS)是指非生理条件下由于长期发生炎症而形成的异位淋巴组织,是架构在成纤维细胞网络上的淋巴细胞聚集体,包含两个重要的结构区域——T细胞区和滤泡B细胞区。TLS在肿瘤中以不同的成熟状态存在,最终形成生发中心,其内含有T滤泡辅助细胞和滤泡树突状细胞,并且与B细胞紧密联系。近年研究明确了新生的 TLS的关键特征、相关的生物标志物及检测手段,进一步阐述了TLS通过刺激相关的肿瘤抗原调控淋巴细胞的浸润,以增强抗肿瘤免疫效应的作用机制。对TLS与肿瘤患者临床获益之间的相关性研究结果表明,TLS可作为包括免疫治疗在内的生物治疗的良好预后和预测因素。目前,研究者正在开发诱导TLS形成的技术,包括使用趋化因子、细胞因子、抗体、抗原提呈细胞或合成支架等。在“冷肿瘤”和“热肿瘤”中诱导TLS新生联合抑制炎性环境的治疗剂或免疫检查点抑制剂的方案,代表了肿瘤治疗的新希望。
