Exercise-induced analgesia (EIA) refers to the elevation of pain thresholds and reduction in sensitivity to noxious stimuli achieved through exercise training. As a non-pharmacological treatment strategy, exercise therapy has demonstrated positive effects on both acute and chronic pain. Increasing evidence indicates that modulation of glial cell activity is an important mechanism underlying analgesia. Spinal glial cells contribute to the development and maintenance of pathological pain by promoting pain signal transmission through inflammatory responses and synaptic remodeling. Exercise can differentially regulate microglia and astrocyte activity, inhibiting multiple inflammatory signaling pathways, such as P2X4/P2X7 purinergic receptors, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), interleukin (IL)-6/Janus kinase (JAK) 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), p38-mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), thereby reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, decreasing inflammatory and nociceptive hypersensitivity, and alleviating pathological pain. This review also summarized the effects of different exercise intensities, durations, and frequencies on glial cell responses in order to provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing exercise-based interventions for pathological pain conditions.

Objective:To analyze the effect of recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)on platelet(PLT)reconstitution after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(APBSCT)in patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The clinical data of 147 MM patients who were diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and received APBSCT as the first-line therapy were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether rhTPO was used during APBSCT,the patients were divided into rhTPO group(80 cases)and control group(67 cases).The time of PLT engraftment,blood product infusion requirements,the proportion of patients with PLT recovery to ≥ 50 × 109/L and ≥ 100 × 109/L at+14 days and+100 days after transplantation,and adverse reactions including the incidence of bleeding were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in sex,age,M protein type,PLT count at the initial diagnosis,median duration of induction therapy before APBSCT,and number of CD34+cells reinfused(all P＞0.05).The median time of PLT engraftment in the rhTPO group was 10(6-14)days,which was shorter than 11(8-23)days in the control group(P＜0.001).The median PLT transfusion requirement in the rhTPO group during APBSCT was 15(0-50)U,which was less than 20(0-80)U in the control group(P=0.001).At+14 days after transplantation,the proportions of patients with PLT 2 50 × 109/L in the rhTPO group and the control group were 66.3％and 52.2％,while the proportions of patients with PLT ≥ 100 × 109/L were 23.8％and 11.9％,respectively,with no significant differences(all P＞0.05).At+100 days after transplantation,the proportion of patients with PLT ≥ 50 × 109/L in rhTPO group and control group was 96.3％and 89.6％,respectively(P＞0.05),but the proportion of patients with PLT ≥ 100 × 109/L in rhTPO group was higher than that in control group(75.0％vs 55.2％,P=0.012).There was no difference in the overall incidence of bleeding events in different locations during period of low PLT level of patients between the two groups.In rhTPO group,the rhTPO administration was well tolerated,and the incidences of abnormal liver and kidney function and infection were similar to those in the control group.Conclusion:When MM patients undergo first-line APBSCT,subcutaneous injection of rhTPO can shorten the time of platelet engraftment,reduce the transfusion volume of blood products,and be well tolerated,moreover,more patients have achieve a high level of PLT recovery after transplantation,which is very important for ensuring the safety of APBSCT and maintenance therapy.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of novel bioabsorbable vascular scaffold(BVS)in the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease.Methods This was a retrospective,matched,single-center observational study.45 patients with coronary atherosclerotic cardiopathy received BVS treatment in the cardiovascular medicine department Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from June 2020 to June 2021(BVS),and 45 patients treated with drug-eluting stents(DES)group were selected according to matching study requirements during the same period.Baseline,surgical,and follow-up data were compared between the two groups to evaluate safety and efficacy.The main measures of safety were:surgical time,intraoperative adverse events,etc.,and the end point of efficacy was target lesion failure(TLF),including cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischa-driven target lesion revascularization.Results A total of 90 patients were enrolled in this study,all of whom were followed up for at least 3 years.There were 20 cases of bifurcation lesions and 25 cases of diffuse long lesions in the two groups,and 50 cases of imaging were reviewed among the 90 patients.The proportion of stable coronary heart disease,history of diabetes,history of hypertension,history of smoking,pre-dilated balloon pressure and postoperative diastolic blood pressure in BVS group was higher than that in DES group,and the proportion of family history was lower than that in DES group(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven revascularization of target lesions between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that the diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis(OR 2.786,95％CI 1.096-7.081,P=0.031).Conclusions Compared with traditional DES,BVS implantation has consistent safety and efficacy in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease within 3 years.The diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis.

To investigate the existence of tick-borne pathogens infection of rodents at the border of China and the Demo-cratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK).PCR was used to detect the spotted fever group rickettsiae(SFGR)ompA gene,Ehrlichia chaffeensis(Ec)and Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Ap)16S rRNA,Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis(CNm)groEL gene,Bartonella(Ba)rpoB gene,and Francisella tularensis(Ft)fopA gene in rodents samples collected from Ji'an of Jilin province and Kuandian of Liaoning Province.The positivity rates of 132 wild rats spleen samples,SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,Ba,and Ft were 9.85％,12.88％,5.30％,3.79％,51.52％,and 6.06％,respectively,with statistical differences in in-fection rates(x2=149.236,P=0.000).The infection rate of Ba was the highest in wild rats in this area.There was no signifi-cant difference in the infection rate of SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,and Ft among different rats species,but there were significant differences in the infection rate of Ba(x2=13.36,P=0.010).The infection rate of Apodemus agrarius was the highest.A-mong 132 wild rats specimens,the coinfection rate of the two pathogens was 15.9％(21/132),with Ba as the main species(15/132),and two cases of coinfection with three pathogens were detected.The infection of six tick-borne pathogens is common in wild rats at the China/DPRK border.Co-infection of two or three pathogens indicates a risk of multiple tick-borne pathogens and mixed natural foci of multiple tick-borne infec-tious diseases.

Phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases are the initial and key molecules of the phosphatidyl inositol signaling pathway.Among them,the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinaseⅢ β(PI4KⅢβ)is in-volved in the synthesis of the Golgi PI4P pool,playing a vital role in numerous physiological processes.Meanwhile,the en-zyme is an important host factor mediating the replication of some pathogenic RNA viruses,and participating in other patho-logical processes such as bacterial infection and malaria.In ad-dition,studies have shown that the function of PI4KⅢβ is regu-lated by numerous factors,including host and viral protein bind-ing partners.This review will discuss the structure and the phys-iopathology regulatory mechanism of PI4KⅢβ.

Objective To investigate the value of polar residual network(PResNet)model for assisting evaluation on rat myocardial infarction(MI)segment in myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE).Methods Twenty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into MI group(n=15)and sham operation group(n=10).MI models were established in MI group through ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery using atraumatic suture,while no intervention was given to those in sham operation group after thoracotomy.MCE images of both basal and papillary muscle levels on the short axis section of left ventricles were acquired after 1 week,which were assessed independently by 2 junior and 2 senior ultrasound physicians.The evaluating efficacy of MI segment,the mean interpretation time and the consistency were compared whether under the assistance of PResNet model or not.Results No significant difference of efficacy of evaluation on MI segment was found for senior physicians with or without assistance of PResNet model(both P＞0.05).Under the assistance of PResNet model,the efficacy of junior physicians for diagnosing MI segment was significantly improved compared with that without the assistance of PResNet model(both P＜0.01),and was comparable to that of senior physicians.Under the assistance of PResNet model,the mean interpretation time of each physician was significantly shorter than that without assistance(all P＜0.001),and the consistency between junior physicians and among junior and senior physicians were both moderate(Kappa=0.692,0.542),which became better under the assistance(Kappa=0.763,0.749).Conclusion PResNet could improve the efficacy of junior physicians for evaluation on rat MI segment in MCE images,shorten interpretation time with different aptitudes,also improve the consistency to some extent.

Objective To explore the longitudinal trajectories of symptom clusters in patients with rectal cancer within 6 months after laparoscopic anal preservation surgery,and analyze the predictive factors of each trajectory subgroup.Methods A longitudinal survey was conducted to select 128 patients who underwent laparoscopic anal preservation surgery for rectal cancer at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,a tertiary hospital in Nanchong from November 2021 to April 2022.The general information questionnaire,Chinese version of Anderson Symptom Inventory for Gastrointestinal Cancer and Charlson Comorbidity Index were used to conduct follow-up surveys of the selected patients at 2 weeks,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgeiy.The symptom cluster were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the latent category growth model was constructed to identify the trajectory subgroups of each symptom cluster.The predictive factors of each trajectory subgroup were analyzed by Mplus statistical software.Results There were 4 symptom clusters within 6 months after laparoscopic anus preserving surgeiy for rectal cancer,which were named as sickness symptom cluster,psychological-sleep symptom cluster,gastrointestinal symptom cluster,and psychological-treatment-related symptom cluster.The variance contribution rates were 65.173％,66.225％,62.421％,and 60.492％,respectively.The latent class growth model identified that there are 4 to 5 trajectory subgroups in the symptom cluster.Gender,education level,Charles Comorbidity Index,clinical T stage,medical cost burden,and treatment method were the predictors of high-risk trajectory subgroups in the symptom cluster(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are 4 symptom clusters within 6 months after laparoscopic anus preserving surgeiy for rectal cancer.The gastrointestinal symptom cluster is a specific symptom cluster for this type of patients with the heaviest symptom burden.The overall trajectory of each symptom cluster shows a dynamic decline trend,but individual trajectoiy subgroups still have an exacerbation trend.There are differences in predictive factors for different symptom clusters.Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the management of symptom clusters in patients with female patients,low education level,high Charles Comorbidity Index,high clinical T stage,heavy medical cost burden,and patients whose treatment method is chemotherapy plus surgery.High-risk groups should be timely identified;corresponding intervention methods were dynamically adjusted;the quality of precision nursing was improved.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and deep learning,virtual reality(VR)and augmented reality(AR)technologies have been widely used in the medical field with their unique advantages.Despite the rapid advances of techniques in colorectal surgery,the risk of colorectal surgery remained high due to the complexity of colorectal anatomy,and the burden of postoperative symptoms remained high.VR and AR technologies can help overcome some of these challenges.The application of VR and AR in colorectal surgery was reviewed,including education and training,surgical assistance,patient education,symptom management,etc.,in order to provide references for clinical application of VR and AR in colorectal surgery.

Objective To investigate the current situations and analyse the influencing factors of self-compassion in patients 3 months after colorectal cancer surgery,so as to provide a basis for clinical interventions.Methods This cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2020 to January 2022 among 190 patients who were at 3 months after colorectal cancer surgery in a tertiary hospital in sichuan.General information questionnaire,self-compassion scale,Connor-Davidson resilience scale and meaning in life questionnaire were used in the survey.Results Total scores of self-compassion,mental toughness and meaning of life after colorectal cancer surgery were 76.69±9.68,58.01±12.54 and 36.02±12.22,respectively.With analysis of multiple linear regression,the influencing factors of self-compassion were found as comorbid chronic diseases,postoperative stoma,postoperative radiotherapy,mental toughness and meaning of life(all P<0.05),toally explaining 58.4%its varience.Conclusions The self-compassion of patients with colorectal cancer is at a moderately lower level and the influencing factors of it include comorbid chronic diseases,postoperative stoma,postoperative radiotherapy,mental toughness and meaning of life.Medical staff should assess the psychological status of the patients,strengthen a psychological care and help patients to gain correct cognitive views for the purpose to improve the self-compassion of patients.
