It is proposed that following peripheral nerve injury abnormal sprouting of Aβ fiber primary afferent neurons in the spinal cord contributes to the allodynia that often occurs with such injury. The present investigation is to determine whether this sprouting is reversal after compression of peripheral nerve was relieved. In a rat model of neuropathic pain made by rat sciatic nerve compression,chorela toxin B subunit conjugated horseradish peroxidase (CB-HRP) was used to trace the termination of Afiber primary afferents and sections were reacted for using tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as the chromagen. We demonstrated that the compression to the sciatic nerve also results in hyperalgesia and novel transganglionic CB-HRP staining in laminae Ⅱ, and this sprouting can not be reversed by decompression. This structural reorganization in central nervous system and its irreversible character may contribute to the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain.

Objective To study the effects of improved Wright-Giemsa staining. Methods 40 semen samples by both traditional and improved Wright-Giemsa staining.The morphological characteristics stained by two methods was ob-served. Results The defective rates of the middle and tail parts of sperm were 7.02%± 2.4%and 11.02%± 2.03%respec-tively in improved staining group;while those were 5.48%±2.8%and 8.05%±2.56%in traditional staining group. There was statistical significance between two staining methods (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference of normal sperm and sperm head between these two staining methods;however, improved staining method showed a much clearer nucleus and ac-rosome staining than that of traditional methods. Improved Wright-Giemsa staining is better for sperm, vaginal discharge and Trichomonas vaginalis. More importantly, axostyle and flagella were clearly stained with the improved method. Conclusion Improved Wright-Giemsa staining is simple and can be used in clinical diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on tau phosphorylation and PI3K/ Akt pathway in the hippocampus of obese rats,and provide some theoretical basis for physical activity improving obesity-related neurological disorders.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 3 weeks were randomly assigned to either a high-fat or a normal diet protocol for 12 weeks.Animals submitted to the high-fat diet were further divided into two groups:a sedentary group (HF-Sed) and an exercise group (HF-Ex).The rats fed the normal diet were also divided into a sedentary group (ND-Sed)and an exercise group (ND-Ex).The rats in the HF-Ex and ND-Ex groups underwent a treadmill training for 8 weeks.Then the hippocampus was isolated at 48h after the last exercise.The protein and phosphorylation levels of tau,glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β),phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt were assayed using Western blotting.Results After 12 weeks of feeding,55％ of rats in the high-fat diet group reached the conditions for the obesity model.After 8 weeks of treadmill exercises,in the HF-Sed group the phosphorylation level of tau was significanlty higher than that in the ND-Sed group,while in the HF-Ex group that was significantly lower than the HF-Sed group.Moreover,in the HF-Sed group the phosphorylation level of GSK3β Ser9 was significantly lower,and the phosphorylation level of GSK3β Tyr216 was significantly higher than the ND-Sed group,indicating the activity of GSK3β was significantly higher than the ND-Sed group.However,after 8 weeks of treadmill exercise,in the HF-Ex group the phosphorylation level of GSK3β Ser9 was signfiicantly higher,and the phosphorylation level of GSK3β Tyr216 was signficanlty lower than the HF-Sed group,indicating significantly lower activity of GSK3β than the HF-Sed group.Then,in the HF-Sed group the protein levels of PI3K p110 and p85 subunits,and the phosphorylation levels of Akt Thr308 and Ser473 were significantly lower than those in the ND-Sed group,indicating inhibited activity of the PI3K/Akt pathway.However,in the HF-Ex group the protein levels of PI3K p110 and p85 subunits and the phosphorylation levels of Akt Thr308 and Ser473 were significanlty higher than those in the HF-Sed group,showing the activity of PI3K/Akt pathway was enhanced.Conclusion Obesity induces tau hyperphosphorylation in the rats hippocampus and long-term aerobic exercises can reduce tau hyperphosphorylation by increasing PI3K/Akt pathway activity and inhibiting GSK3β activity.It has a positive effect on delaying the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and improving obesity-related neurological disorders.

Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on Wnt/β-Catenin pathway in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats,so as to provide theoretical basis for conforming that aerobic exercise can improve the function of the nervous system.Methods Six-week-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary control group (CG) and an aerobic exercise group (EG).The rats in the EG group underwent an 8-week treadmill training and their cerebral cortex and hippocampus were isolated at 48h after the last exercise.The mRNA levels of Wnt,β-Catenin,LRP5,LRP6,Axin1,CK1 and GSK3β were analyzed using quantitative PCR,while the protein and phosphorylation levels were assayed using Western blotting.Results After 8 weeks of treadmill exercise,the average mRNA and protein levels of Wnt1 and Wnt3 in the EG group were significantly higher than those in the CG group.Although there were no significant differences in β-Catenin mRNA levels between EG and CG groups,the protein levels of β-Catenin in the EG group were significantly higher than those in the CG group.Meanwhile,the phosphorylation levels of β-Catenin Ser33/Ser37 and Thr41/Ser45 were significantly lower than those in the CG group.In the EG group,the mRNA and protein levels of LRP5 and LRP6 were significantly higher than those in the CG group,while those of Axin1 and CK1 were significantly lower than the CG group.Moreover,no significant differences were observed in the mRNA and protein levels of GSK3β between the two groups,but the phosphorylation levels of GSK3β Ser9 in the EG group were significantly higher than the CG group.Conclusion Aerobic exercises can increase the levels of Wnt and Wnt receptor,protein LRP5 and LRP6,decrease the levels of Axin1 and CK1,inhibit the activity of GSK3β,altogether lowering the pbosphorylation of β-Catenin to promote the stableness of β-Catenin.Therefore,the aerobic exercise can increase Wnt/β-Catenin pathway activity and activate the downstream gene transcription in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats.

Objective:To carry out the scoping review on the form, function and application effect of decision aids for breast reconstruction of breast cancer patients, so as to provide reference for domestic research on decision aids for breast reconstruction.Methods:According to the scoping review framework, literature was systematically searched on Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to January 19, 2024.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including 8 randomized controlled trials (RCT), four quasi-experimental studies, one qualitative study, and one prospective cohort study. The main forms of decision aids included web-based software programs, mobile applications (APP), decision support groups, or decision support manuals. The evaluation of intervention effectiveness mainly involved indicators such as patient decision regret, decision conflict, satisfaction, acceptance, and patient-reported outcomes.Conclusions:Breast reconstruction decision aids have a certain positive impact on improving patient satisfaction, decision quality, and patient-reported outcomes, but most studies have not examined their long-term effects. The research on decision aids for breast reconstruction in China is still in its infancy. It is suggested that future research should draw on relevant foreign studies to develop and advance high quality and diversified decision aids, and promote their clinical applications.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the impact of revised version of GBZ 49-2014 Diagnostic of Occupational Noise-induced Deafness on the diagnosis of occupational noise-induced deafness( ONID). METHODS: A total of 77 patients applied for ONID diagnosis and identification were selected as study subjects by judgment sampling method. The pure tone audiometry data were collected and diagnosed based on the criteria of GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007 Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Noise-induced Deafness. The changes of the diagnostic audiometry and the ONID diagnostic classification were compared. RESULTS: The monaural threshold of weighted value of the good ear calculated by GBZ 49-2014 was higher than the speech frequency threshold average of the good ear of GBZ 49-2007 [( 32. 4 ± 10. 3) vs( 29. 8 ± 10. 6) dB,P <0. 01]. The binaural high frequency threshold average calculated by GBZ 49-2014 was higher than that of GBZ 49-2007[( 50. 5 ± 13. 3) vs( 49. 1 ± 13. 6) dB,P < 0. 01]. The ONID diagnosis conclusions diagnosed by using GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007 were consistent( Kappa value = 0. 92,P < 0. 01). There was statistical difference in the ONID diagnostic classifications diagnosed by using GBZ 49-2014 and GBZ 49-2007( P < 0. 05). Three ONID patients diagnosed as non ONID by GBZ 49-2007 were diagnosed as mild ONID by using GBZ 49-2014,and five cases diagnosed as mild ONID by GBZ 49-2007 were diagnosed as moderate ONID by using GBZ 49-2014. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic audiometry calculated based on GBZ 49-2014 is higher than that based on GBZ 49-2007. The number of ONID patients increased and the diagnostic classification became serious when the diagnosis was made based on GBZ 49-2014.

Objective To study the composition and concentration of atmospheric particulate pollutants in four seasons in the industrial and clean living areas， and to provide a scientific basis for the strategy of controlling industrial pollution and atmospheric environment. Methods An industrial area dominated by the automobile industry in Shanghai and a relatively clean living area were selected. Samples were collected simultaneously in both areas and continuously for 7 days in the middle of each season. The composition and concentration of PM_2.5 were determined， and the ecological risk of heavy metals in PM_2.5 was evaluated by the potential ecological risk index method. Results We found PM_2.5 concentration was associated with seasonal changes. The PM_2.5 concentration in living areas was the highest in winter， followed by spring， and the lowest in summer. The PM_2.5 concentration in industrial areas was the highest in spring， followed by winter， and the lowest in summer. The heavy metals in PM_2.5 were the same， including Al， Cr， Mn， Ni， As， Cd， Hg and Pb. The content of Cr， Cd and Pb in PM_2.5 in the industrial area is significantly higher than that in the living area. The potential ecological hazard coefficient of PM_2.5 heavy metal Cd in the industrial zone was the highest， up to 189.47， and it was the main component of the total potential ecological hazard index of heavy metals. According to the total potential risk grade of heavy metals， the heavy metal Cd in the industrial area had different degrees of ecological harm with seasonal changes. The ecological harm degree of heavy metal Cd was the highest in winter， high in spring and autumn， and low in summer. Conclusion Although the concentration of PM_2.5 in the industrial area is not higher than that in the living area， the content of Cr， Cd and Pb in the PM_2.5 in the industrial area is significantly higher than that in the living area. The concentration of PM_2.5 in the industrial area is mainly related to seasons， industrial production and human factors. The potential ecological harm coefficient of heavy metal Cd in PM_2.5 is the highest in comparison with other heavy metals such as Cr， Hg and Pb， and it is the main component of the total potential ecological harm index ofheavy metals.
