Objective To investigate the sensitivity of Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT-Ⅱ)parameters on the early optic nerve change of glaucoma head. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Twenty-one patients (36 eyes) with big cupped disc(C/ D≥0.7) and twenty-seven patients (31 eyes) with early glaucoma (C/D≥0.7, MD≤3dB) were studied. Methods All patients underwent visual field and HRT-Ⅱ examination to get parameters of optic nerve head. T test was used to compare the parameters of optic disc between big cupped disc and early glaucoma. Main Outcome Measures HRT Ⅱ parameters included disc area, cup area, rim area, cup volume, rim volume, C/D area ratio, mean cup depth, maximum cup depth, cup shape measure, height variation contour, mean RNFL thickness and RNFL cross sectional area. Results Statistics analysis with T test (t=2.247-3.714, P=0.000-0.028) showed there were significant differences of rim area, rim volume, mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, sectional area of retinal nerve fiber layer between big cupped disc and early glaucoma. Conclusions We can pay attention to those parameters with HRT- Ⅱ to distinguish patients with big cupped disc and early glaucoma.

Objective:To explore the potential facilitators and barriers to healthy behavior among stroke patients.Methods:Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 16 stroke patients from September 2022 to March 2023 using an objective sampling method.The interview guide was developed using the theoretical domain framework(TDF). Interviews were transcribed and refined the theme using directed content and induction analysis.Using the TDF as the initial coding framework, the themes were then merged into the most relevant domains.Finally, the correspondence between theoretical domains and the healthy behavior of stroke patients was determined based on the frequency and relationship between themes.Results:This study identified nine theoretical domains that affected the healthy behavior of stroke patients: knowledge, skills, motivation and goals, social influences, social/professional role and identity, environment context and resources, belief about capability, consequence belief and behavioral regulation.Conclusion:The healthy behavior of stroke patients is complex and influenced by several factors.The nine theoretical domains identified in this study will provide recommendations for future healthy behavior interventions for stroke patients.

Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system are a group of diseases caused by the body′s immune system attacking its own nervous system, resulting in structural damage and functional impairment of the corresponding tissues. Interventional clearance of pathogenic auto-antibodies has been shown to be effective in reducing immune damage, inhibiting disease progression and improving prognosis through extensive basic research and long-term clinical practice. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated circulating protection mechanism of IgG contributes to the long half-life and high plasma levels of IgG. FcRn inhibitors are able to target and block the binding of FcRn to IgG, accelerating IgG clearance and reducing IgG levels. Therefore, the use of FcRn inhibitors in the treatment of autoimmune diseases of the nervous system could theoretically help to accelerate the clearance of pathogenic IgG, achieve good clinical efficacy and have promising applications. Research in this area has made considerable progress in recent years and this article will review this.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of health behavior and explore the predictive factors among stroke patients.Methods:A total of 1 250 participants were recruited using cluster random sampling in September 2022. The general information, the modified Rankin scale(mRS), stroke prevention knowledge questionnaire(SPKQ), health behavior scale for stroke patients (HBS-SP), and short form-health belief model scale (SF-HBMS) were administered in the cross-sectional survey. Mplus 8.3 software was used to conduct a latent class analysis (LCA) on the health behavior of stroke patients, and SPSS 27.0 software was used to carry out multinomial Logistic regression to analyze the predictive factors of different latent classes of health behavior of stroke patients.Results:The health behavior of stroke patients obtained three latent classes: low health behaviors-lack of health responsibility group (66.9%, n=794), moderate health behaviors-poor compliance group (11.9%, n=141), and good health behaviors-insufficient exercise group (21.2%, n=251). Compared with good health behaviors-insufficient exercise group, stroke patients with shorter duration education time ( B=-0.589, OR=0.555, P=0.036), hemorrhagic stroke ( B=0.082, OR=1.086, P<0.001), fewer comorbidities ( B=-0.022, OR=0.978, P=0.026), higher mRS score ( B=-0.046, OR=1.047, P=0.004), lower SPKQ score ( B=-0.055, OR=0.947, P=0.016), and lower SF-HBMS score ( B=-0.085, OR=0.919, P<0.001) were more likely to be included in moderate health behaviors-poor compliance group. However, stroke patients with shorter duration education time ( B=-0.026, OR=0.974, P=0.003), rural areas dwelling ( B=0.800, OR=2.225, P=0.004), fewer comorbidities ( B=-0.056, OR=0.945, P<0.001), lower SPKQ score ( B=-0.101, OR=0.904, P<0.001), and lower SF-HBMS score ( B=-0.071, OR=0.931, P<0.001) were more likely to be included in low health behaviors-lack of health responsibility group. Conclusion:The health behavior of stroke patients has three latent classes. A targeted intervention should be carried out according to the characteristics of different classes to improve their health behavior levels.

OBJECTIVE To study the regulator y mech anism of glaucocalyxin A (GLA) on autophagy and apoptosis of HCCLM3 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS HCCLM3 cells were taken ,and control group ,GLA 2.5 μg/mL group,GLA 5 μg/mL group and GLA 10 μg/mL group were mainly set according to different experimental purposes. In control group,only complete medium was added ;in each administration group ,complete medium containing the corresponding final concentration of GLA was added. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry ;mitochondrial morphology and autophagy were observed by transmission electron microscope (only control group ,GLA 5 μg/mL group);JC-1 staining and fluorescence inverted microscope were used to observe and detect the mitochondrial membrane potential of the cells ;Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of Bcl- 2, Bax, Beclin1 and cleaved caspase- 3 proteins in the cells ; the co-immunoprecipitation method was used to detect the binding and dissociation of Bcl- 2 and Beclin 1(only GLA 5 μg/mL group, GLA 10 μg/mL group). RESULTS Compared with control group ,GLA 5 μg/mL and GLA 10 μg/mL could induce a significant arrest of the cell cycle in the G 2-M phase for HCCLM 3,a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential ,an increase in apoptosis as well as significant promotion of the protein expression of Bax ,cleaved caspase- 3 and Beclin 1,and significant inhibition of the protein expression of Bcl- 2(P<0.01). GLA 5 μg/mL also significantly changed mitochondrial morphology and increased autophagosomes. The results of co-immunoprecipitation showed that compared with GLA 5 μg/mL,GLA 10 μg/mL could enhance the binding of Bcl- 2 and Beclin 1. CONCLUSIONS GLA can regulate the autophagy and apoptosis of HCCLM 3 cells by Bcl-2/Beclin1 target. The effect is closely related to the dose of GLA.
