Objeetive To investigate the effectiveness and safety of agomelatine for the treatment of elderly patients with post-stroke depression.Methods A total 80 elderly patients with post-stroke depression were randomly divided into either an agomelatine group or a sertraline group.The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index were used to evaluate the patients before and after 1,2,4,and 6 weeks,respectively.Results HAMD,NIHSS,and Barthel index scores were improved significantly after treatment in the agomelatine group (n =38) and the sertraline group (n =42).There were significant improvement in the scores of HAMD,NIHSS and Barthel Index with time in both groups (all P ＜0.001).There were no significant difference in the scores of HAMD and NIHSS at different time points after treatment between the agomelatine group and the sertraline group,and the Barthel Index scores began to have significance difference from the fourth week after treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The efficacy of agomelatine for the treatment of PSD is almost the same as sertraline,and the effect of improving activities of daily living is better than sertraline.The safety of both agomelatine and sertraline is good.

With redox-sensitive fluorescene probes DCFH-DA and DHR123, the formation of cytosolic and intramitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside immature rat cerebellar granule cells during the apoptosis induced by nitric oxide donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-pennicillamine (SNAP) was monitored by laser confocal scanning microscopy. The cytosolic and intramitochondrial ROS increase significantly after 0.5 mmol/L SNAP treatment for 1 h. Pre-treatment with the nitric oxide scavenger hemoglobin can effectively inhibit the formation of cytosolic and intrarnitochondrial ROS and protect neurons from apoptosis. Adding glutathione can also protect neurons from apoptosis, and the cytotoxity of nitric oxide increases significantly while the synthesis of glutathione is inhibited. The results indicated that ROS might be involved in NO-induced apoptosis in neural cells and glutathione might be the endogenesis antioxidant to protect neurons from oxidative injury.

Studies have shown that the clinical manifestation of patients with neuropsychiatric disorders might be related to the abnormal connectivity of brain functions. Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are different from the conventional epileptic seizures due to the lack of the expected electroencephalographically epileptic changes in central nervous system, but are related to the presence of significant psychological factors. Diagnosis of PNES remains challenging. We found in the present work that the connectivity between the frontal and parieto-occipital in PNES was weaker than that of the controls by using network analysis based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. In addition, PNES were recognized by using the network properties as linear discriminant nalysis (LDA) input and classification accuracy was 85%. This study may provide a feasible tool for clinical diagnosis of PNES.

Methods A total of 64 cases patients were divided into the control group of 32 cases and the treatment group of 32 cases. The control group were treated with western medicine,while the treatment group were treated with Traditonal Chinese medicine and acupuncture based on the method of con-trol group treated. Compared efficacy of two groups after 4 weeks of treatment. The recovery of facial nerve function of the two groups and the comprehensive efficacy of the two groups were compared after 4 weeks. Results Control group total effective rate was 71.88%,the improvement rate of the facial muscles was 75.00%,while treatment group in turntotal effective rate was 87.50%, the improvement rate of the facial muscles was 84.38%. Compared the two groups,the treatment group was significantly higher.There was significantly statistical difference compared with the con-trol group (P<0.05). Conclution The efficacy of acupuncture Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine is better than single western medicine in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. It should be popularized in clinical.

Objective To explore the relationship of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with clinical characteristics, especially serum muscle enzyme abnormalities. Methods The images of 50 cases of JDM were reviewed, and the affected skin, subcutaneous connective tissue, muscle fascia and muscle were evaluated. The range of muscle edema under MRI images was categorized into 1-3 grades from mild to complete involvement. By comparing the MRI classification with muscle enzyme, we aim to reveal the linkage between the degree of muscle damage and the levels of muscle enzymes. The sequence of MRI examination of the thigh included rapid spin echo sequence FSE T1W, and the fat suppression sequence STIR in both coronary and axial position. Results In the 50 cases of dermatomyositis, there were 49 cases of muscle edema, 28 cases of myofasciitis, 9 cases of subcutaneous connective tissue inflammation, and 4 cases of thickening skin. Of 49 cases of muscle edema, there are 16 cases in grade 1, 24 in grade 2 and 9 in grade 3. The median value of all muscle enzyme in the grade 2 group was higher than that in the other two groups, and the value of AST was statistically significant, P<0.05. Conclusions The detection rate of JDM using MRI is high, which can help judge the severity and range of involvement. The MRI findings of JDM mainly demonstrated muscle edema, mostly moderate degree, followed by muscular fasciitis.

The causes of stroke in young people are diverse, most of which are cardiogenic. However, cerebral embolism caused by cardiac myxoma is rare. Intravenous thrombolysis is given in the time window, and the therapeutic effect depends on the nature of embolus. This case is a young female patient, with acute onset, excluding bleeding on the basis of the symptoms, signs and craniocerebral CT. After diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke, the patient was performed an immediate intravenous thrombolysis, though the curative effect was poor. Excluding contraindications six hours after onset, bridging mechanical thrombectomy was performed, postoperative embolus biopsy indicating myxoma. Atrial myxoma was removed in cardiac surgery two months later, and the pathology indicated atrial myxoma. The patient recovered well during the out-of-hospital follow-up, and no further embolization occurred. Therefore, it is suggested that bridging mechanical thrombectomy may be safe and effective for acute ischemic stroke caused by atrial myxoma when intravenous thrombolysis is ineffective, and myxoma resection should be performed immediately after the disease is stable.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the application and significance of the computer-assisted surgery system in precision surgery of mediastinal tumors in children.Methods:The clinical data of 54 children that underwent mediastinal tumor resection surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2008 to November 2021 were collected.According to whether the Hisense CAS computer-assisted surgery system was used before the operation, the patients were divided into three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction group (29 cases, 53.70%) and two-dimensional (2D) CT group (25 cases, 46.30%). The surgical indicators, postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of surgical complications were compared between the two groups.The t-test, Mann- Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher′ s exact test were carried out for statistical analysis.Simulated surgery and actual surgery were compared for both 3D reconstruction and 2D CT groups. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, height, weight, maximum tumor diameter and tumor location between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group (all P>0.05). The operation time of the 3D reconstruction group was [(125.14±41.37) min] was shorter than that of the 2D CT group [(149.24±44.53) min] ( P=0.044). The intraoperative blood loss in the 3D reconstruction group [15.00(13.50, 25.00) mL] was less than that in the 2D CT group [36.00(30.00, 75.00) mL] ( P<0.001). In addition, the indwelling time the closed thoracic drainage tube [4.00 (3.00, 5.50) d] and postoperative hospitalization days [(8.83±3.39) d] in the 3D reconstruction group were shorter than those in the 2D CT group [7.00(5.00, 11.50) d, (11.00±4.10) d] ( P=0.001, 0.038). No significant difference in postoperative complication rates was found between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group ( P>0.05). The simulated operation was consistent with the actual operation in the 3D reconstruction group. Conclusions:3D reconstruction by the computer-assisted surgery system can truly reveal the anatomical relationship between tumors and surrounding organs and blood vessels, and improve the accuracy and safety of surgical resection of mediastinal tumors in children.

Background::The risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) is influenced by genetic predisposition, sex, and lifestyle. Previous research indicates that coffee is a potentially protective factor in CKD. The current study aims to investigate whether sex disparity exists in the coffee–CKD association, and whether genetic risk of CKD or genetic polymorphisms of caffeine metabolism affect this association.Methods::A total of 359,906 participants from the UK Biobank who were enrolled between 2006 and 2010 were included in this prospective cohort study, which aimed to estimate the hazard ratios for coffee intake and incident CKD using a Cox proportional hazard model. Allele scores of CKD and caffeine metabolism were additionally adjusted for in a subsample with qualified genetic data ( n = 255,343). Analyses stratified by genetic predisposition, comorbidities, and sex hormones were performed. Tests based on Bayesian model averaging were conducted to ascertain the robustness of the results. Results::Coffee was inversely associated with CKD in a dose-dependent manner. The effects of coffee did not differ across different strata of genetic risk for CKD, but were more evident among slower genetically predicted caffeine metabolizers. Significant sex disparity was observed ( P value for interaction = 0.013), in that coffee drinking was only associated with the risk reduction of CKD in females. Subgroup analysis revealed that testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), but not estradiol, modified the coffee–CKD association. Conclusions::In addition to the overall inverse coffee–CKD association that was observed in the general population, we could also establish that a sex disparity existed, in that females were more likely to experience the benefit of the association. Testosterone and SHBG may partly account for the sex disparity.
