Objective To investigate the distribution and hot spots of literatures on headache by bibliometric analysis in order to provide reference for further study.Methods Literatures that contained headache or migraine in text words published in 2011 in PubMed databases (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Pubmed) were searched.Journals,countries and subjects were bibliometrically analysed.Results There were 3683 papers involved to headache published in PubMed in 2011,of which 1527 papers were on headache research.The number of papers on headache research published by USA was the most followed by Italy and Germany (USA 23.25％,Italy 10.74％,Germany 5.83％).The mainly studied subjects were therapy(29.60％),pathophysiology (18.66％) and etiology (16.31％).14.86％ papers published in Cephalalgia,which is one of the most important journals,reported negative results.Conclusion The emphasis of headache research was on migraine.Therapy,pathophysiology and etiology were the hot spot.Literatures with negative result attracted authors to give the more attention.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of pruritus in adult patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and to evaluate the effect of pruritus on sleep and quality of life.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2020, 291 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were enrolled in Lanzhou University Second Hospital, and characteristics of pruritus as well as quality of sleep and life were evaluated by physicians directly or through a questionnaire. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze risk factors for pruritus, and multivariate linear regression to analyze factors affecting sleep and quality of life.Results:Among the 291 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, 184 (63.23%) were males and 107 (36.77%) were females, with the age ( M [ Q1, Q3]) being 37.00 (28.00, 50.00) years; 258 (88.64%) had the itching symptom, and the severity of itching was usually moderate. The severity of skin lesions was the main risk factor for pruritus ( OR = 1.252, 95% CI: 1.114-1.407, P < 0.001) . Psoriasis area and severity index was positively correlated with pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) score ( r = 0.65, P < 0.001) , 5-D′S score ( r = 0.65, P < 0.001) , Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score ( r = 0.48, P < 0.001) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) score ( r = 0.63, P < 0.001) , the pruritus NRS score was positively correlated with the DLQI score ( r = 0.61, P < 0.001) and PSQI score ( r = 0.55, P < 0.001) , and the 5-D′S score was positively correlated with the DLQI score ( r = 0.62, P < 0.001) and PSQI score ( r = 0.64, P < 0.001) . Conclusion:Most adult patients with psoriasis vulgaris have moderate pruritus; the severity of disease markedly affects the severity of pruritus, and pruritus exerts considerable impact on sleep and quality of life.

Objective: To investigate the analgesic mechanism of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) by observing the effect of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B (NR2B)/postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) pathway on the dendritic structure of spinal cord dorsal horn in rats with lumbar disc herniation. Methods: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a Tuina group, a blocker agent group, and a blocker agent + Tuina group. The sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) model was prepared by the sciatic nerve ligation method. From the 4th day after modeling, rats in the Tuina group and the blocker agent + Tuina group were subject to daily Tuina intervention, and those in the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group were daily intrathecally injected with NR2B blocker agent (MK-801). The spontaneous pain score was used to observe the pain behavior of all rats. The expression levels of NR2B and downstream PSD-95 were measured by immunohistochemistry, and the dendritic structure changes were observed by Golgi staining for rat spinal cord dorsal horn after 14 d of continuous intervention. Results: Compared with the blank group, the degree of rat spontaneous pain after CCI was elevated in both the model and the Tuina groups (P<0.01) and was reduced in the Tuina group after the Tuina intervention compared with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the rat spontaneous pain level after blocking NR2B was reduced in both the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group (P<0.05). The NR2B and PSD-95 protein levels were significantly higher in the model group compared with the blank group (P<0.01); the total number of dendritic branches was increased (P<0.01), and the total dendritic length became longer (P<0.01) in the spinal cord dorsal horn. The rat NR2B and PSD-95 protein levels were significantly decreased in the Tuina group compared with the model group (P<0.01); the total dendritic branch number was reduced (P<0.01) and the total length was shortened (P<0.01) in the spinal cord dorsal horn. After blocking NR2B, the expression levels of NR2B and downstream PSD-95 protein were significantly lower in both the blocker agent group and the blocker agent + Tuina group compared to the model group (P<0.01). The total branch number was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the total length was significantly shortened (P<0.01) of the dendrites in the spinal cord dorsal horn. Conclusion: Tuina may exert an analgesic effect by remodeling the dendritic structure in the spinal cord dorsal horn in rats with lumbar disc herniation, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NR2B/PSD-95 signaling pathway.

Objective To detect serum oxytocin and highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in obese and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) subjects and investigate the relationships between serum oxytocin levels and hs-CRP, glycolipid metabolism, insulin resistance and pancreas β cell function. Methods A total of 176 subjects were enrolled in the study, including 88 patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes ( T2DM) and 88 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(NGT). NGT and T2DM groups were further divided each into normal weight (NW) and obese(OB) subgroups. Obesity was defined as body mass index(BMI)≥25 kg/ m2 according to the WHO-Western Pacific Region diagnostic criteria (2000). 75g oral glucose tolerance test ( OGTT) was performed in all subjects. Fasting plasma glucose ( FPG), 2 h postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), fasting insulin ( FINS), 2h postprandial serum insulin(2hINS), HbA1C and lipids were also determined. Insulin resistance and pancreas β-cell function were determined by homeostasis model assessment ( HOMA-IR, HOMA-β). Highly sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) level was determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay and fasting serum oxytocin level was determined by ELISA. Results Serum oxytocin level was lower in T2DM group than that in NGT group(P<0. 01), while serum hs-CRP level was higher in T2DM group than that in NGT group(P<0. 01). The level of serum oxytocin in subjects with obesity was also lower than that in subjects with NW in both NGT and T2DM groups [7. 16(6. 45-8. 82) vs 7. 98(7. 03-9. 17) ng/ L and 9. 23(8. 16-10. 36) vs 9. 86(8. 77-12. 06) ng/ L, P<0. 05]. The level of serum hs-CRP in subjects with obesity was higher than that in subjects with NW in both NGT and T2DM groups [0. 99(0. 25-1. 97) vs 0. 54(0. 19-0. 91) mg/ L and 3. 47(1. 63-6. 20) vs 1. 65(0. 81-3. 81) mg/ L, P<0. 05]. Serum oxytocin level was negatively correlated with hs-CRP, BMI, WC, WHR, HbA1C , FPG, 2hPG, FINS, 2hINS, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and HOMA-IR, while was positively correlated with HOMA-β(P<0. 05). Subjects within the upper serum hs-CRP tertile had lower level of oxytocin when compared to subjects in the middle or lower serum hs-CRP tertiles(P<0. 05 ). Conclusion Serum oxytocin level was decreased in subjects with type 2 diabetes as well as with obesity. Serum oxytocin level was closely correlated with inflammation, glycolipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and pancreas β cell function. It may play an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity and T2DM.

Objective To observe the changes in functional connectivity(FC)of raphe nucleus in patients with first-episode depression complicated with suicidal ideation(SI).Methods Ninety-eight first-episode depression patients were prospectively enrolled and assigned into SI group(n=56)or non SI group(n=42)based on complicated with SI or not,while 47 healthy volunteers were recruited as control group.Resting-state functional MRI was performed.FC between dorsal raphe nucleus(DRN),median raphe nucleus(MRN)and the whole brain were analyzed and compared among 3 groups and between each 2 groups,and the correlations of FC of different brain regions with clinical data of SI group were explored.Results Compared with control group,FC between DRN and left cerebellum and left putamen in SI group and non SI group decreased(all P＜0.05),between MRN and right inferior temporal gyrus increased but between MRN and left inferior frontal gyrus,right superior occipital gyrus,left inferior parietal lobule,left putamen decreased(all P＜0.05).FC between DRN and left putamen in SI group was higher than that in non SI group(P＜0.05).FC between MRN and right central posterior gyrus of SI group increased compared with that in the rest 2 groups(both P＜0.05).FC between MRN and left putamen in SI group was positively correlated with body mass score of Hamilton depression scale-24(HAMD-24)(rs=0.297,P=0.026).Conclusion Abnormal changes of FC between raphe nucleus and cortex,also between raphe nucleus and subcortical area occurred,and FC between MRN and left putamen positively correlated with body mass score of HAMD-24 in patients with first-episode depression complicated with SI.

Objective: To investigate the impact of childhood traumatic experiences on individual risktaking decisions in early adulthood using functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), so as to provide the reference for clarifying the brain mechanisms underlying the impact of childhood trauma on individual risky decision. Methods: From December 2023 to March 2024, 28 children with childhood trauma experiences (trauma group) and 32 healthy college students (control group) were selected from Jining Medical University by a combination of stratified descent and convenient sampling methods. All subjects participated in the Iowa Game task fNIRS scanning. The brain activation, functional connectivity, graph theory properties (degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and local efficiency), and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed by using preprocessing fNIRS data. Results: Compared with control group, trauma group showed significantly fewer choice times in the inferior deck (Z=-0.88), and showed significantly decreased activation levels in the right frontalpolar (Z=-2.59), as well as showed significant decreased functional connectivity between left dorsolateral prefrontal and in right dorsolateral prefrontal (Z=-3.78), and between left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the right frontal pole (Z=-3.68)(P<0.05). The central index of right inferior frontal gyrus in the trauma group was higher than that in the control group, while the central index of left and right dorsolateral frontal lobes was lower than that in the control group (Z=2.13, -2.53, -2.12, P<0.05). The centrality index of the right inferior frontal gyrus in the trauma group was higher than that in the control group (Z=2.47, P<0.05). The local efficiency indicators of the right inferior frontal gyrus, left and right frontal pole in the trauma group were higher than those in the control group (Z=2.51, 2.17, 2.53, P<0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis showed that the local efficiency achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC=0.68). Conclusions Young adults with childhood trauma experience tend to choose lower loss, and the frontal pole shows a lack of activation in the whole process of risk decision performance. The abnormalities in the brain connectivity and network properties might be the neural basis of excessive defense mechanisms that childhood trauma leads to risky decisions.

Objective: To study the effect of WT1 expression on the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in acute leukemia (AL) and its significance as molecular marker to dynamically monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) . Methods: Retrospectively analyzed those AL patients who underwent allo-HSCT in the First Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine during Jan 2016 to Dec 2017, a total number of 314 cases, 163 males and 151 females, median age was 30 (9-64) years old. Comparing the difference of WT1 expression at diagnosed, pre-HSCT and after HSCT. Using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to determine the WT1 threshold at different time so as to predict relapse. The threshold of WT1 expression before transplantation was 1.010%, within 3 months after HSCT was 0.079% and 6 months after HSCT was 0.375%. According to these thresholds, WT1 positive patients were divided into low expression groups and high expression groups. Analyzed the relationship between overall survival (OS) , disease-free survival (DFS) , cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and WT1 expression. Results: The OS and DFS of high expression group pre-HSCT were lower than low expression group [69.2% (9/13) vs 89.1% (57/64) , χ²=4.086, P=0.043; 53.8% (7/13) vs 87.5% (56/64) , χ²=9.766, P=0.002], CIR was higher than low expression group [30.8% (4/13) vs 7.8% (5/64) , P=0.017]. There was no significant difference of OS and DFS between high expression and low expression group of 3 months after HSCT (P=0.558, P=0.269) . The OS and DFS of high expression group of 6 months after transplantation were both lower than low expression group (P=0.049, P=0.035) . Multivariate analysis showed that WT1>0.375% when 6 months after transplantation was the only independent prognostic factor for shorter DFS (P=0.022) . There was no statistically significant difference in CIR between the high-expression group and the low-expression group 3 months after transplantation and 6 months after transplantation (P=0.114, P=0.306) . Conclusion High expression of WT1 before and after HSCT was an adverse prognosis factor. It is of clinical practical value to use WT1 as a transplant recommendation index for patients with acute leukemia and as a marker to monitor MRD dynamically.

The high incidence of dual sleep and frail disorders in the elderly people, often occurring together, seriously affects the physical and mental health of the older people, effective research on the dynamics of dual sleep and frail disorders is important for improving the quality of life for the older people and responding to global ageing trend. While trajectory studies provide a unique practical scientific perspective to grasp the dynamics of development, dual trajectories unite dual barriers provide an opportunity to study the dynamic dependence of both sleep and frailty simultaneously sleep trajectories and frailty trajectories in older people are interrelated and interacted through deeper mechanisms. Therefore, it is necessary for the study not only focus on the ongoing development of health problems, but also needs to consider multiple aspects and propose targeted intervention program.
