Depressive disorder seriously affects people's physical and mental health.Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for depression,yet,its mechanism is unclear.Therefore,acupuncture's action mechanism in intervening depression was summarized from several perspectives,including morphology and ultrastructure of neurons in depression-related brain areas,function and structure of glial cells,brain functional and structural connectivity,and neuroelectrophysiology.It's discovered that acupuncture can repair the morphological and ultrastructural damage of neurons in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,mitigate the functional and structural injuries of glial cells in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,strengthen functional connectivity and heal structural connection,and promote neuroelectrophysiological activities,which possibly are the principal mechanisms of how acupuncture works in intervening depressive disorder.

Objective To explore the changes and effect of functional connectivity(FC) of reward network in chronic heroin addicts(HA) using resting-state fMRl(rs-fMRI). Methods rs-fMRI was performed on 26 chronic heroin addicts(HA group) and 25 matched normal volunteers(control group).The rs-fMRI data were proceeded by usingrs-fMRI(DPARSF) software on Matlab 2009a. Bilateral nucleus accumbens(Nacc) were set as ROIs. Then the mean time series of ROI were compared with other voxels within the brain by the rs-fMRI data analysis toolkit(REST). Intra-and inter-group analysis was performed with single sample and two sample t test respectively.The association of intensity of FC in brain regions and the duration/doses of heroin consumption was investigated. Results In HA group, positiveresting-state FC compared with the ROIs was found in frontal gyms, dorsal striatum, thalamus and pons, while temporal lobe, negative found in part of parietal cortex and occipital cortex, part of dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. Within control group, positive FC compared with the ROIs was found in frontal gyms, dorsal striatum, thalamus, hippocampal gyrus and pons, occipital cortex, negative FC with ROIs found in part of dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex and cerebellum(P<0.005, voxels>26). Compared with the control group,the FC between the right Nacc and the bilateral calcarinegyrus, left middle occipital gyrus(voxel numbe r=31,28,47;t=3.99, 3.74,3.74;and P<0.005,respectively)were significantly increased in the HA group.The FC between the left Nacc and left fusiform gyrus and right precuneus(voxel number=40,26;t=3.77,3.57;and P<0.005, respectively)were significantly increased, while between the left Nacc and left dorsal medial/lateral prefrontal cortex and bilateral dorsal anterior cingulate(voxel number=98;t=-4.14;and P<0.005)were significantly decreased in the HA group. There was no corrlation between the abnormal FC and the duration/doses of heroin consumption in HA group(P>0.05). Conclusion The abnormal interaction between Nacc and the regions involved in cognitive control and visual spatial attention may contribute to the heroin addiction.

Objective This meta-analysis aims to identify consistent results of vulnerable brain regions through the existing resting-state fMRI studies, thus exploring the changes of neural spontaneous brain activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods A systematic analysis of studies on brain resting-state changes in T2DM patients using ALFF, fALFF and ReHo analysis. The meta-analysis was based on the activation likelihood estimation method, using the software of Ginger ALE 2.3. Results Ten studies from 7 references (188 T2DM patients and 170 healthy controls) were included. Based on the analysis of ALFF and ReHo data, this meta-analysis identi fied the robust reduction of resting-state spontaneous brain activity in T2DM patients, including the left lingual gyrus of occipital lobe, right cerebellum posterior lobe,left postcentral gyrus and right insula(cluster size= 800,488,368,256 mm3,P<0.05 after FDR correction),while no increased spontaneous brain activation was found in any regions.The meta-analysis from ReHo studies showed reduced resting-state spontaneous brain activity in the left lingual gyrus of occipital lobe,left postcentral gyrus,right insula and posterior cingulum/lingual gyrus(cluster size=832,368,280,232 mm3,P<0.05 after FDR correction),while no increased spontaneous brain activation was found in any regions. Conclusion This meta-analysis study using the activation likelihood estimation method demonstrated that the resting-state spontaneous brain anomalies in T2DM patients might contribute to exploring machenism underlying diabetic encephalopathy.

Objective To study the application of autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model to predict the monthly reported malaria cases in China,so as to provide a reference for prevention and control of malaria. Methods SPSS 24.0 software was used to construct the ARIMA models based on the monthly reported malaria cases of the time series of 2006-2015 and 2011-2015,respectively. The data of malaria cases from January to December,2016 were used as validation data to compare the accuracy of the two ARIMA models. Results The models of the monthly reported cases of malaria in China were ARIMA(2,1,1)(1,1,0)12 and ARIMA(1,0,0)(1,1,0)12 respectively. The comparison between the predictions of the two models and actual situation of malaria cases showed that the ARIMA model based on the data of 2011-2015 had a higher ac-curacy of forecasting than the model based on the data of 2006-2015 had. Conclusion The establishment and prediction of ARIMA model is a dynamic process,which needs to be adjusted unceasingly according to the accumulated data,and in addi-tion,the major changes of epidemic characteristics of infectious diseases must be considered.
