Objective To explore the relationship between personality and mental status of inpatients in the department of neurology of general hospital.Methods 150 inpatients in the department of neurology had been surveyed by Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ) and Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90) with the domestic norm as control.Results The examining results of the inpatients in the department of neurology were as following.The scores of neurotisim(N) of EPQ were higher than that of the domestic norm(P<0.05);the scores of extra-introversion(E) and psychoticism(P) of EPQ were lower than that of the domestic norm(P<0.05).The scores of 7 factors including total scores,somatisation,depression,anxiety,hostility,panic and psychosis in SCL-90 were higher than that of the domestic norm( P<0.05).The N scores of EPQ was positively correlated with all factors of SCL-90,the E scoers of EPQ was positively correlated with hostility and paranoia factor of SCL-90,the P scores of EPQ was positively correlated with paranoia factor of SCL-90.Conclusion The mental characteristics of inpatient in the department of neurology of general hospital in acute period are that the incidence of somatisation,depression,anxiety,panic and psychosis are higher than normal people,compulsion and paranoia are as well as normal people.The character of neurotisim and introversion may be the personality background of it.
4.Research progress of pyroptosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2021;33(2):249-251
The main pathophysiological changes of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are massive destruction of pulmonary vascular endothelial barrier, pulmonary edema, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and refractory hypoxemia in severe cases. Pyroptosis is programmed cell necrosis, triggered by caspase and mediated by proteins in a member of conserved protein family Gasdermin D (GSDMD), which manifests as continuous cell expansion until cell membrane rupture, leading to release of cell contents and activation of a strong inflammatory response. Pyroptosis plays a key role in the development of septic ARDS. In this paper, the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis and the related researches on pyroptosis and ARDS are reviewed.
5.Relationship between neutrophil phenotypic and functional heterogeneity and diseases
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2021;33(3):360-363
Neutrophils are the most abundant circulating leukocyte type in humans and comprise the host's first line of cellular defense against foreign pathogens invasion. On the other hand, neutrophils are the main mediators of tissue damage induced by acute and chronic inflammation. They were once considered to be short-lived, low transcriptional activity, and terminally differentiated homogeneous leucocytes that failed to return to circulation from tissue. However, more evidence has demonstrated that neutrophils can develop into different sub-populations with phenotypic heterogeneity and functional versatility under physiology and pathological conditions. This review summarizes the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of neutrophils in sepsis and tumor genesis.
6.Research progress of micro ribonucleic acid related to drug-resistant epilepsy
Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(1):154-157
Epilepsy is a common chronic nervous system disease, about one third of patients with intractable epilepsy, which brings a heavy burden to the society. At present, the specific etiology and drug-resistant mechanism are still unclear. Minimally invasive, reliable and economic biomarkers are of great help to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of drug-resistant epilepsy. In recent years, microRNA has gradually become a research hotspot of intractable epilepsy and is expected to become a biomarker. This paper briefly reviews the microRNA related to intractable epilepsy.

Digital orthopedic technologies are increasingly being applied to the clinical practice of joint surgery. These technologies include artificial intelligence, virtual/augmented/mixed reality, 3D printing, computer navigation, robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery, and other digital orthopedic technologies. Digital orthopedic technologies continue to empower joint surgeons, simplify complex operations, achieve precision in simple operations, and to make precise operations more individualized. Thus, they are becoming important development directions for joint surgery in the future. With the help of advances in computer-aided design and additive manufacturing technology, customized joint prostheses and bone tissue repair materials provide great convenience for reconstruction of complex bone defects during revision surgery. Various types of computer-assisted navigation technologies and robot-assisted surgery technologies can help doctors improve the accuracy of osteotomy and prosthesis implantation significantly. However, to fundamentally improve patients' satisfaction after joint replacements, we need to use digital orthopedics technologies to explore the ideal target value of arthroplasty. Further, we use personalized preoperative planning with objective and accurate assessment technology of soft tissue balance, precise intraoperative operations, and the use of customized prostheses to achieve individualized and precise joint arthroplasty. Various digital orthopedic technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. Joint surgeons should have an in-depth understanding of these technologies and make full and reasonable use of these technologies to benefit the majority of patients.
8.Progress of biological functions and molecular mechanisms of long non-coding RNA Foxf1 adjacent non-coding developmental regulatory RNA in malignant tumors
Cancer Research and Clinic 2021;33(1):77-80
In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of malignant tumors in China have been increased year by year, which has caused a serious economic burden on families and society. Therefore, researches of the mechanism of cancer development and new methods of diagnosis and treatment are desperately needed. Foxf1 adjacent non-coding developmental regulatory RNA (FENDRR) is a long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) discovered in recent years. Its abnormal expression can regulate cell proliferation, migration and invasion through different mechanisms, and participate in the development of various malignant tumors. This article reviews the progress of biological functions and molecular mechanisms of FENDRR in different malignancies.
9.Progress of biological mechanism of immune checkpoint inhibitors and their applications in treatment of lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2021;30(2):122-125
Malignant lymphoma is a common malignant tumor of the lymphatic system. In recent years, immunotherapy is a new direction in the field of lymphoma treatment after targeted therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPi) have achieved significant efficacy in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), with an overall response rate of about 80%, which makes the clinical application of ICPi in patients with malignant lymphoma become the focus of attention. This article reviews the recent progress in the biological mechanism of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA-4), and the application of ICPi in the treatment of HL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
10.Progress of neonatal sepsis and intestinal microecology
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(4):267-270
Sepsis is a common cause of neonatal death and has attracted more and more attention in recent years.The intestine is the largest reservoir of bacteria in the human body, and it plays an initial role in the occurrence and development of many diseases.The use of antibiotics, feeding methods, delivery methods and gestational age can seriously affect the colonization of neonatal intestinal flora.The recent studies have shown that the imbalance of intestinal flora can activate uncontrolled pro-inflammatory responses and lead to sepsis.The intestinal microecology of neonates with sepsis may have flora disorder, decreased diversity, and flora shift, which can result in a series of pathophysiological changes throughout the body.This article reviews the role of intestinal microecology in the pathogenesis of neonatal sepsis and the influencing factors of intestinal flora.
