Objective:To explore the effects of game addiction disorders on brain cognitive control functions based on near-infrared spectroscopy.Methods:Thirteen subjects were screened according to the Online Game Addiction (OGA) Scale. The experimental paradigm was the stop-signal task. The relative concentration levels of oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in the prefrontal region of the brain during cognitive activity were collected using near-infrared spectroscopy to assess the cognitive control function of the subjects. Results:The game-addicted patients had lower keystroke accuracy in the stop-signal task than healthy subjects, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared to healthy subjects, game-addicted patients had less activation in prefrontal areas and showed uncontrolled behavior and brain activity. Conclusions:Game addiction disorders impair brain cognitive control, which in turn triggers a weakening of cognitive control. The results of this study provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of game addiction.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Patients with impaired quality of life associated with xerostomia need long-term treatment, and a nerve stimulator has the advantage of providing natural saliva and long-term management for patients with xerostomia by electrically stimulating the relevant secretory nerves to promote saliva production. A number of clinical trials have preliminarily demonstrated the efficacy of nerve electrical stimulation in the treatment of xerostomia. However, electrical stimulation has not yet become the mainstream treatment for xerostomia. Large prospective randomized controlled clinical trials are still needed to confirm its long-term effectiveness and safety. In addition, the design of nerve stimulators is of great significance for clinical application. The large volume and inconvenient treatment associated with the extra oral nerve stimulator and the first generation intraoral nerve stimulator hinder their clinical application and popularization. The second- and third-generation intraoral nerve stimulator devices are small, convenient to use and have great application prospects. Research on electrical nerve stimulators for xerostomia treatment is mainly concentrated in European and American countries, while there is very little domestic research. It is urgent to master the core technology for the research and development of electrical nerve stimulators. The innovation of miniaturization, efficient power supply, data feedback and packaging will be the key issues of electrical nerve stimulators in the future. In this paper, the treatment and research of electrical nerve stimulation for xerostomia are reviewed to provide a reference for related basic research and the clinical application of electrical stimulators treating xerostomia in China.

Objective:To study the change in serum fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21)level and its correlation with liver functions in elderly patients with hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related cirrhosis.Methods:A total of 150 elderly patients with HBV infection admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital and China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected and divided into chronic hepatitis B(CHB)group(n=70)and HBV-related cirrhosis group(n=80). Healthy subjects were selected as the control group(n=50). Serum FGF21 was determined by ELISA method.Clinical data, clinical laboratory indicators and FGF21 as a core parameter of this study were collected and compared among control group, CHB group, HBV-related cirrhosis group.The correlations of FGF21 level with several liver function indexes were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:The levels of total bilirubin(TBil)and total biliary acid(TBA)were significantly higher in HBV-related cirrhosis group than in CHB group.The levels of aspartate transaminase(AST), alanine transaminase(ALT), glutamyl transpeptadase(GGT), serum albumin, cholinesterase, FGF21 and HBV-DNA were significantly lower in HBV-related cirrhosis group than in CHB group(all P<0.05). The levels of serum FGF21 were(108.6 ± 7.3)ng/L, (92.5 ± 7.6)ng/L and(75.8 ± 6.3)ng/L in Child-Pugh A, B and C patients, respectively.The level of FGF21 was statistically significantly decreased with the increase of Child-Pugh grading( F=18.290, P=0.000). Serum FGF21 level was positively correlated with AST, ALT, TBil, cholin-esterase and albumin levels( r=0.652, 0.579, 0.609, 0.558, 0.613, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of serum FGF21 is significantly decreased in elderly patients with HBV-related cirrhosis, and is positively correlated with liver function indexes.

Objective To investigate the geographic landscape features in Yulong plague natural focus.Methods Four altitudinal gradients (2 400-,2 600-,2 800-,≥3 000 m) were selected as study objects in Yulong plague natural focus from December 2015 to November 2016 to collect and analyze geographic landscape factors (topography and terrain,climate,water areas,vegetation and soil) based on the literatures about this plague focus.Results Yulong plague natural focus was an area with mid-mountain and subalpine topography in northwestern Yunnan Province,and its terrain had the character of lower in the southeast and higher in the northwest.This area belonged to plateau warm temperate monsoon climate of low latitude with an average month temperature 13.6 ℃ from 2005-2016,month air relative humidity averaged 59.4％,and rainfall averaged 884.5 mm a year,which concentrated mostly from June to September.About 98.1％ of the water area in Yulong County was controlled by Chin-sha River.The vegetation and soil were characterized by vertical distribution along with altitude gradients obviously.Conclusion The unique geographical landscape of the plague natural focus in Yulong County is one of important factors affecting the occurrence and epidemic of the plague.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in renal dysfunction in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (SCAD).Methods We consequentially enrolled patients diagnosed as having SCAD and,according to homocysteine (Hcy) levels,divided them into the HHcy group (Hcy≥15 μmol/L,n =53) and control group (Hcy＜15 μmol/L,n =47).We further tested the relationship among plasma Hcy level,renal function,and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and adiponectin (APN).Results IL-6 was significantly higher in the HHcy group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).However,APN level was obviously lower in the HHcy group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Correlation analysis revealed that Hcy level positively correlated with creatinine (r =0.379,P ＜ 0.001),uric acid (r =0.238,P =0.019),cystatin C (r =0513,P ＜ 0.001),and IL-6 levels (r =0.561,P ＜ 0.001) but negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR;r =-0.288,P =0.023) and APN level (r =-0.428,P ＜ 0.001).IL-6 level showed positive correlations with creatinine (r =0.406,P =0.002),uric acid (r =0.359,P =0.007),and cystatin C levels (r =0.387,P =0.007) but a negative correlation with eGFR (r =-0.370,P =0.005).Meanwhile,APN level showed negative correlations with creatinine (r =-0.694,P ＜ 0.001),uric acid (r =-0.420,P ＜0.001),and cystatin C levels (r =-0.553,P ＜ 0.001),but a positive correlation with eGFR (r =0.251,P =0.034).Conclusion Plasma Hcy level may have a predictive value for renal dysfunction in patients with SCAD.Moreover,HHcy probably promoted renal dysfunction by inducing the imbalance of anti-inflammation and pro-inflammation in patients with SCAD.
