Objective To explore the clinical effect of Jieyu Anshen decoction combined with aripiprazole tablet in the treatment of chronic schizophrenia. Methods A total of 210 patients with chronic schizophrenia who were treated in our hospital from March 2015 to March 2017 were randomly divided into two groups,with 105 cases in each group. The control group was treated with aripiprazole tablet. The observation group was treated with Jieyu Anshen decoction combined with aripiprazole tablet. The treatment effect was observed and compared. Results There was no significant difference in the clinical condition between the two groups before treatment, and the improvement was more obvious in the observation group after treatment; The effective rate in the observation group (90.47％) was significantly higher than in the control group (80.0％), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the safety of the two groups. Conclusion Jieyu Anshen Decoction combined with aripiprazole tablets in the treatment of chronic schizophrenia compared to conventional methods, can improve clinical efficacy, but also has good safety, it is worth clinical reference.

Objective To describe and analyze the clinical characters of patients with FRG from 7 Chinese families.Then analyze and identify their mutations in SGLT2 gene,and explore the association of genotype and phenotype.Methods Quantitative test for 24-hour urine glucose and other laboratory tests were carried out among 7 probands (14 patients in all) and their family members from 7 pedigrees (totaling 23 subjects).All coding regions,including intron-exon boundaries,were analyzed using PCR followed by direct sequence analysis.Results Five novel mutations in SLC5A2 gene were identified in this investigation,including four missense mutations (A Serine to Glycine at position 335 (c.1003A＞G,p.S335G),a Glutamine to Arginine at position 448 (c.1343A ＞ G,p.Q448R),an alanine to proline at position 474 (p.A474P,c.1420G ＞ C) and a glycine to aspartic acid at position 580 (c.1739G ＞ A,p.G580D) and a deletion in intron 7 (c.886(-10_-31)del).By the minigene studies using the pSPL3 plasmids,we confirmed the deletion c.886(-10_-31)del as a splicing mutation.In this study,the mutation c.886(-10_-31)del accounted for about 43％ of the total alleles (12/28).These patients with compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations manifested middle degree or severe glycosuria (Quantitative test for 24-hour urine glucose:10.56-50.68 g/1.73 m2),however those with heterozygous variants presented with mild to moderate glycosuria (Quantitative test for 24-hour urine glucose ≤ 2.45 g/1.73 m2).This fits co-dominant inheritance pattern.Conclusions Five novel mutations which may be related to FRG are found in this study,and c.886(-10-31) del may be a high frequency mutation in Chinese patients.

Objective To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) treatment on the brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) serum levels in depressive patients.Methods Sixty-eight unipolar depressions treated with venlafaxine were randomly assigned to the real rTMS group(n =34)and the sham rTMS group(n =34),which were accepted the real or the shame rTMS treatment on the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobes respectively.The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and BDNF serum was assayed before and after 4 weeks' treatment.Results 1) A significant increase of serum BDNF((12.2 ± 1.3) μg/L vs (5.6 ± 0.8) μg/L,t=-9.167,P=0.000;(11.4 ± 1.5)μg/L vs (6.0± 1.0)μg/L,t=-7.421,P=0.000)and a significant decline of HAMD((11.6 ± 1.7) score vs (32.6 ± 2.5) score,t =14.654,P =0.000 ; (4.2 ± 2.8) score vs (31.8 ± 3.2)score,t=12.089,P =0.000) were found after the treatment in the real and the shame group,and the real group changed more significantly than the shame group ((6.7 ± 0.8) μg/L vs (5.1 ± l.2) μg/L,t =2.690,P =0.009 ; (21.0 ± 2.1) score vs (17.6 ± 2.6) score,t =2.693,P =0.000).2) A negative correlation was found between the serum BDNF levels and the HAM D scores before the treatment(r =-0.530,P=0.003; r =-0.490,P =0.004),and a positive correlation between changes of BDNF levels and HAMD scores changes(r =0.439,P =0.006 ; r =0.454,P =0.005).Conclusion The rTMS treatment can increase serum BDNF levels in depressive patients.

Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents, often accompanied by motor function disorders. Sarcopenia not only has skeletal muscle dysfunction but also has neurocognitive dysfunction. At present, there is no research to explore the relationship between ADHD and skeletal muscle function. The purpose of this study is to explore whether there is a causal effect between ADHD and sarcopenia. Methods: In this study, genome-wide association study data of ADHD, appendicular lean mass (ALM), hand grip strength, and walking pace (WP) were extracted from public databases. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was employed to investigate the correlation between ADHD and sarcopenia-related indicators, and the inverse-variance weighted analysis as the primary analysis method. Results: Based on the forward MR analysis, a potential causal relationship exists between ADHD and ALM (odds ratio [OR]=1.020, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012–1.029, p<0.001). The reverse MR analysis indicates a link between WP and the risk of ADHD (OR=2.712, 95% CI: 1.609–4.571, p<0.001), with an accelerated WP increasing the likelihood of ADHD. Nevertheless, other MR analysis results did not show significant differences. Conclusion The findings of this study indicate an intricate causal relationship between ADHD and sarcopenia, suggesting the absence of a clear link. WP may be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the risk of ADHD. At the same time, we should pay more attention to the ALM of ADHD patients.

Objective:To investigate the role of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) in glomerular podocyte immune disorder and its regulatory mechanism.Methods:Fourteen 6-week-old male hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic (HBV-Tg) mice were selected, and age-matched wild type (WT) mice were as controls. They were fed to different weeks, and 24 h urinary protein, blood biochemistry, renal pathology and podocyte changes under electron microscope were detected. The expression of HBx and the infiltration of immune cells in kidney tissue of HBV-Tg mice were observed by immunohistochemistry. Human podocyte cell line was transfected with pcDNA3.1/myc-HBx plasmid, and the localization of HBx and Nephrin in podocytes was detected by immunofluorescence. The expression of major histocompatibility complex Ⅱ (MHC-Ⅱ) and co- stimulatory molecule CD40 on the cell surface was detected by flow cytometry. The contents of multiple cytokines in cell culture supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to screen the downstream related genes regulated by HBx, and real-time quantitative PCR was used to verify their expressions. After overexpression or silencing of Notch1 gene with overexpressed plasmids or short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in podocytes, the effects on the expression of immune molecules and cytokines secretion was observed. The Notch receptor inhibitor N-[N-(3, 5-difluorophenyl-l- alanyl)]-(s)-phenylglycine tert-butyl ester (DAPT) was used to block Notch1 signaling pathway in HBV-Tg mice, and then blood biochemistry, renal pathological changes and infiltration of immune cells in kidney tissue were observed. Results:Twenty-four-hour urine protein, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were markedly increased (all P<0.05) and renal pathological injury was significantly aggravated in HBV-Tg mice than those in WT mice. Also, HBx was up-regulated and immune cells infiltrated in the glomerulus of HBV-Tg mice. After transfection with HBx in podocytes, the expression of MHC-Ⅱ and CD40 on the cellular surface was up-regulated (all P<0.05), the contents of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β in the supernatants were increased (all P<0.05), and the secretion of IL-4 and interferon γ (IFN-γ) was unbalanced. RNA-seq screened downstream genes of HBx, such as Notch1, PLA2R, TLR4, etc; and further confirmed that HBx could promote the up-regulation of Notch1 mRNA and protein (all P<0.05). After over-expression of Notch1 gene, HBx-induced expression of MHC-Ⅱ and CD40 on the cellular surface was significantly up-regulated (all P<0.05), and the contents of MCP-1, TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatants were obviously increased (all P<0.05), and the imbalance of IL-4/IFN-γ was further aggravated. After Notch1 gene silencing, the above results showed the opposite changes. In vivo, the results indicated that serum creatinine levels were obviously decreased (all P<0.05), renal pathological injury and immune cell infiltration were significantly alleviated in HBV-Tg+DAPT group than those in HBV-Tg+DMSO group. Conclusions:HBx protein can promote the up-regulation of Notch1 signaling pathway in podocytes. And Notch1 signaling pathway promotes the expression of immune molecules on the surface of podocytes and regulates the imbalance of cytokines, then causes glomerular injury and dysfunction of immune microenvironment.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.
