Objective To investigate the role of GABAB1 receptors in spinal dorsal horn neurons in the development of diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). Methods Sixty pathogen free male SD rats aged 4 weeks weighing 150-170 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 30 each): control group and DNP group. Diabetes mellitus was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg. Blood glucose levels and paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli were measured at 3, 5 and 7 weeks (T1, T2, T3 ) after IP STZ/NS ( n = 10 each). The animals were sacrificed after PWL measurement. The lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of GABAB1 receptors by immuno-histochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results The blood glucose levels were significantly higher while the PWT was significantly lower at T1,T2 and T3 in group DNP than in control group. The expression of GABAB1 receptor mRNA and protein in spinal dorsal horn was significantly lower at T2 and T3 in DNP group than in control group. Conclusion The expression of GABAb1 receptors is down-regulated in spinal dorsal horn neurons in rats with DNP.

Background The residual astigmatism following Toric intraocular lens (IOL) rotation have received much attention.However,the variation of the optical performance and the wavefront abrrveation with Toric IOL rotation are unclear.Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the optical performance,wavefront abrrveation and residual diopter spherical and cylinder lens with Toric IOL rotation.Methods T3,T4 and T5 Toric IOLs of +22.0 D were placed in Hwey-Lan Liou model eye respectively,with the posterior surface flat on the X axis and steep on the Y axis.Corneal astigmatism model was established by mimicing the model eye with Toric IOL using Zemax optical software.Then the Toric IOLs were rotated 5° to 10° individually under the 4 mm pupil diameter and 550 nm monochromatic light,and the image performance and wavefront abrrveation were recorded with all conditions,including modulation transfer function (MTF),out-of-focus aberration,astigmatism aberration,coma,trefoil aberration and spherical aberration.The refractive error of spherical power and cylinder power were calculated.Results Corneal astigmatism was fully corrected when Toric IOLs in the middle,and the MTF curves were near in T3,T4,T5 Toric IOLs.The image performance was worse under the high spatial frequency with the increase of rotation degrees of Toric IOLs,showing the gradually low of MTF curves,especially T5 Toric IOL.No obvious changes was seen in coma,trefoil aberration and spherical aberration after rotation of Toric IOLs,while out-of-focus aberration,astigmatism aberration were obviously increased.In addition,residual astigmatism and spherical error increase with the rotation of Toric IOLs.Conclusions Toricl IOL rotation leads to increase of astigmatism and spherical refractive error but not high order aberration.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a major public health event caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 has spread widely all over the world. A high proportion of patients become severely or critically ill, and suffer high mortality due to respiratory failure and multiple organ dysfunction. Therefore, provid-ing timely and effective treatment for critically ill patients is essential to reduce overall mortality. Convalescent plasma therapy and pharmacological treatments, such as aerosol inhalation of interferon-α (IFN-α), corticosteroids, and tocilizumab, have all been applied in clinical practice;however, their effects remain controversial. Recent studies have shown that extracorporeal therapies might have a potential role in treating critically ill COVID-19 patients. In this review, we examine the application of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), hemoadsorption (HA), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) in critically ill COVID-19 patients to provide support for the further diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.

Objective: To analyze the contents of flavonoids in Astragali Radix before and after sodium pyrosulfite solution soa-king, so as to provide reliable methods for scientifically evaluating and effectively controlling the quality of Astragali Radix. Methods:After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene were analyzed by HPLC-DAD. Results: Calycosin glucoside, ononin, formononetin and pterostilbene showed a good linear relationship within the range of 0. 048-60. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-30. 000 μg·ml-1, 0. 019-40. 000 μg·ml-1and 0. 019-40. 00 0μg·ml-1, respectively. After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of calycosin glucoside and ononin decreased, furthermore, with the increase of sodium sulfite solution concentration and soaking time, the decrease trend was more obvious, and the differences between the high concentra-tion group and the normal group were 2-3 times. The content of formononetin was essentially the same, while the difference in pterostil-bene content between the high concentration groups and the normal group was 10 times. Conclusion: After sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking, the contents of flavonoid glycoside components are reduced, therefore, it is not advisable to use sodium pyrosulfite solution soaking to achieve keeping fresh, mothproof and prolonging the shelf life of Astragali Radix.

To analyze the trends in disease burden and risk factors of depression among the elderly population in China from 1990 to 2021, and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention, treatment, and policy-making of geriatric depression in China. Data on the disease burden of geriatric depression in China from 1990 to 2021, including the number of incident cases, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), incidence rate, and DALY rate, were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database.The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trends by calculating the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC).The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was employed to predict the disease burden of geriatric depression over the next five years.Population attributable fractions (PAFs) were used to describe the risk factors for geriatric depression in China in 1990 and 2021. From 1990 to 2021, the number of incident cases and the incidence rate of geriatric depression in China showed an overall upward trend.The most significant increase in incidence was observed in the 60-64 age group, while the prevalence rate increased notably in the ≥ 95 age group.TheDALY rate showed the most pronounced upward trend in the 65-69 age group.The incidence, prevalence, and DALY rates of geriatric depression were higher in women than in men.Major risk factors included child hood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence, with the impact of intimate partner violence being particularly significant among women.The ARIMA model predicted that the incidence, prevalence, and DALY rates of geriatric depression in China would decline over the next five years, with a greater decline observed in women than in men. From 1990 to 2021, the incidence, prevalence, and DALY rates of geriatric depression in China showed an overall upward trend, with higher rates observed in women than in men.Greater attention should be paid to the elderly female population, with a focus on early prevention to reduce the disease burden of geriatric depression.
