Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of consciousness-restoring needling combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training on motor function and the activities of daily living of poststroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Sixty qualified patients were evenly randomized into observation group and control group. All of the patients were given conventional medicine treatment and conventional rehabilitation training, and the treatment group was given consciousness-restoring needling additionally. The therapeutic effects were compared at the end of first session of treatment for 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the first session of treatment. The Fugl-Meyer motor assessment scale (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale ( SS-QQL) were taken as the main evaluation indexes. Results The differences of FMA, MBI and SS-QOL scores were insignificant between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). At the end of treatment for 4 weeks, FMA, MBI and SS-QOL scores were increased in the two groups (P<0.05), and the increase was more obvious in the observation group (P<0.05). The results of follow-up till the 12th week showed that FMA, MBI and SS-QOL scores were still higher than the baseline level ( P<0.05). Conclusion Consciousness-restoring needling combined with comprehensive rehabilitation training has better effect on improving motor function and the activities of daily living of poststroke hemiplegia patients than comprehensive rehabilitation training alone.

Objective:To evaluate the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy combined with hiatal hernia repair surgery for weight loss and antireflux.Methods:This study included 21 obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at the Weight Loss Metabolism Center of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from Dec 2019 to Dec 2020. Patients were divided into simple bariatric surgery group (9 cases) and simultaneous combined surgery group (12 cases).Results:In the combined surgery group, 1 case had postoperative gastric leakage. The postoperative body weight, waist circumference, and BMI indexes of the two groups showed a downward trend ( F=5.154, P=0.013; F=14.319, P<0.001; F=6.725, P=0.004). There was a statistically significant difference in the excess weight loss in both the two groups at 6 months after the operation compared to 1 month after the operation ( t=8.927, P<0.001; t=8.926, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure and Gerd symptom score in the bariatric surgery group compared with preoperative ( t=-0.891, P=0.507; t=0.629, P=0.298). The postoperative Gerd symptom score of the patients in the combined surgery group was significantly lower than that before the operation, and the resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter was significantly higher than that before the operation, ( t=-10.539, P<0.001; t=5.066, P=0.038). Conclusion:Combined surgery have the same weight loss effect as in simple bariatric surgery in obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux, in addition to stronger anti-reflux effect.

ObjectiveTo explore the material basis for the difference in the efficacy of different parts of mulberry based on molecular connectivity index (MCI). MethodBy referring to the relevant literature at home and abroad and traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) database, the chemical composition database of mulberry-source medicinal materials was established. Venn analysis was carried out on the components among mulberry-source medicinal materials. The components in the database were divided into 10 categories, and the composition information was analyzed. According to MCI value, all components of mulberry-source medicinal materials were divided into different groups. The angle cosine method was used to calculate the MCI similarity. The average MCI values of the common component group from 0-8 orders and CI of mulberry-source medicinal materials were calculated. ResultThe components with high similarity such as (+)-cycloolivil, 1′-methoxy-2′-hydroxydihydromollugin, kuwanon, morusin and 1-deoxynojirimycin were selected as potential pharmacodynamic components. Mulberry-source medicinal materials could be divided into five component groups. The similarity between component groups and total components was 0.760-0.999, and the similarity between component groups was 0.248-0.999. In Mori Ramulus, Mori Folium, Mori Cortex and Mori Fructus, the average MCI values of their flavonoids from 0-8 orders were 4.57, 4.59, 6.41, 4.24, respectively. The average MCI values of alkaloids from 0-8 orders were 2.65, 4.55, 2.58, 2.78, respectively. The average CI values from 0-8 orders were 5.51, 5.49, 5.44 and 2.88, respectively. ConclusionIt is preliminarily concluded that there are differences in the flavonoids and pathways of hypoglycemic effects between Mori Cortex and the other three mulberry-source medicinal materials. The MCI values of alkaloids from 0-8 orders in Mori Folium and Mori Fructus were higher, but their inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase were lower than those of Mori Ramulus and Mori Cortex. The structural characteristics of the total components of Mori Fructus represented by CI were quite different from the other three mulberry-source medicinal materials.

ObjectiveTo compare the similarities and differences of material basis for improving insulin resistance (IR) in different parts of Morus alba based on liquid-mass combination combined with network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. MethodUltra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to analyze the composition differences in different parts of M. alba. Sybyl-X2.1 was used to connect components with IR core targets, and the selection criterion was Total Score≥5. The "component-target-disease" network map was drawn. The total statistical moment standard similarity (TQSMSS) between the single target-component docking score data set and the total target-component docking score data set was calculated. The targets with higher TQSMSS were screened out, and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed using R language. ResultForty-one active components were obtained by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. According to the total statistical moment (similarity) method, there were 20, 23, 30, and 27 targets with TQSMSS≥0.75 in Mori Ramulus, Mori Cortex, Mori Fructus, and Mori Folium, respectively. In the four M. alba medicinal sources, the functional order of the targets by GO enrichment analysis was Mori Fructus>Mori Folium>Mori Cortex>Mori Ramulus, which were involved in biological processes such as blood glucose homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and glucose transmembrane transport. The order of the four M. alba medicinal sources by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was Mori Fructus>Mori Ramulus>Mori Folium>Mori Cortex, which were involved in the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) energy metabolism signaling pathway, the insulin regulation-related signaling pathway, the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress signaling pathway, and so on. ConclusionThis research demonstrates that there are differences in the material basis for improving IR by different parts of M. alba, which provides references for the development of different parts of M. alba.

Objective:
To make etiological diagnosis and evaluate the protective effects of post-exposure prophylaxis(PEP) in an event of one dog injured seven persons.
Methods:
Direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were employed to detect nucleoprotein and nucleoprotein(N) gene of rabies virus in the brain tissues of the dog, the positive samples were sequenced for the full length of N gene of rabies virus, then the homology of the N gene of rabies virus was analyzed after the phylogenetic tree was constructed. Rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) was applied to detect the rabies virus neutralizing antibodies(RVNA) on day 0, 14 and 40 after PEP.
Results:
The cerebral, cerebellar and hippocampal tissues were positive by DFA and nested PCR. The phylogenetic tree indicated the rabies virus belonged to the rabies virus genotype I. The homology of the nucleotide and amino acid of the rabies virus N gene were over 86% with the vaccine strains. The titer of the RVNA increased significantly from the day 0 to day 14 after PEP, the lowest was 5.78 IU/ml and the highest was 26.15 IU/ml. On the day 40, the highest RVNA titer was 51.96 IU/ml. No rabies cases occurred in a one year follow-up visit.
Conclusions
Normative PEP can effectively prevent the occurrence of rabies cases.
