Objective To investigate the role of endogenous histamine in Parkinson disease. Methods 6-OHDA-lesioned rats were prepared by the conventional mothod,and in the meantime a group of rats were administrated with ?-fluoromethylhistidine(?-FMH),an irreversible inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase(HDC),via intracerebroventricular injection(12.5 ?g or 25 ?g,i.c.v.) for seven days.On the 7 day,the apomorphine-induced turning behavior and were detected, and the immunoreactivity of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compact(SNc) and histaminergic neurons in the tuberomammillary nucleus(TMN) were evaluated by tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) and HDC immunohistochemistry,respectively.Additionally,the level of dopamine in striatum was determined with high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Results ?-FMH(25 ?g,i.c.v.) significantly reduced the turning behavior and prevented the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the SNc,and slightly increased dopamine level in the striatum.Whereas,the immunoreactivity of histaminergic neurons in the TMN of hypothalamus in both the 6-OHDA lesioned and the ?-FMH treated rats was not changed.Conclusion Endogeneous histamine may involve in the pathological processes of PD.However,the histaminergic neurons are not involved in PD.

The corona-like spikes or peplomers on the surface of the virion under electronic microscope are the most striking features of coronaviruses. The S (spike) protein is the largest structural protein, with 1,255 amino acids, in the viral genome. Its structure can be divided into three regions: a long N-terminal region in the exterior, a characteristic transmembrane (TM) region, and a short C-terminus in the interior of a virion. We detected fifteen substitutions of nucleotides by comparisons with the seventeen published SARS-CoV genome sequences, eight (53.3%) of which are non-synonymous mutations leading to amino acid alternations with predicted physiochemical changes. The possible antigenic determinants of the S protein are predicted, and the result is confirmed by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) with synthesized peptides. Another profound finding is that three disulfide bonds are defined at the C-terminus with the N-terminus of the E (envelope) protein, based on the typical sequence and positions, thus establishing the structural connection with these two important structural proteins, if confirmed. Phylogenetic analysis reveals several conserved regions that might be potent drug targets.

The prevalence of various types of mental illness has reached 17.5%, and the current treatment of mental illness generally includes western medicine, psychotherapy and physical therapy. Due to the high disability rate, low cure rate and easy recurrence, mental illness has become a major public health problem that seriously affects human health and social stability. And it has attracted the attention of the government and society. At present, the typical western medicine for treating mental illness has serious side effects, while new types of medicine for treating mental illness has a slow efficacy. Physical therapy has an unstable effect, and the side effects of drugs for treating mental illness lack effective method. These problems are expected to be successfully solved through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and acupoint stimulation. This paper puts forward the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for the treatment of mental illness, and strives to build a technical system for the treatment of mental illness with integrated Chinese and Western medicine through the organic combination of multidisciplinary and multi-technology.Meanwhile, it lists some classic cases of treatment in order to provide reference for those who are keen on the integrated Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of mental disease.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.
