All the differences were statistically significant.There was no significant difference between ACT and the control group for quality of life(MD=0.24, 95% CI: -0.01-0.49, P=0.06). Conclusion:ACT has a certain effect on patients with anxiety disorder, which not only improves the anxiety level of patients, but also keeps the effect of anxiety improvement during the follow-up period, and the improvement of psychological flexibility has also been verified.The immediate and long-term efficacy of ACT is similar to that of CBT, which further improve the reliability of ACT curative effect.Gender difference has not been confirmed for the therapeutic effect.ACT has no obvious improvement on the quality of life, and the conclusion of this study needs more randomized controlled studies with large samples and high quality to verify it.

Objective·To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of Chinese pediatric patients with Barth syndrome(BTHS)and provide data to support the prevention and treatment of BTHS.Methods·Eighteen pediatric patients diagnosed with BTHS at Shanghai Children's Medical Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from January 2010 to November 2023,were included.Clinical data(age,birth weight,family history,electrocardiogram,echocardiogram,urine tandem mass spectrometry,complete blood count,blood biochemistry,and genetic test results)were collected to analyze the clinical characteristics,genetic findings,and prognoses of the patients.Results·The study included 18 male patients with BTHS(including 2 monozygotic twins),consisting of one Yi ethnic and 17 Han Chinese patients.The median age at diagnosis was 3.0(1.0,5.6)months.Fifteen patients experienced decreased cardiac function at disease onset,with a left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)below 50%.Dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM)was observed in 15 patients,left ventricular non-compaction(LVNC)in 12 patients,and myocardial hypertrophy in 9 patients.During the diagnosis and follow-up,QTc interval prolongation occurred in 9 patients,ventricular arrhythmias in 2 patients,neutropenia in 9 patients,and monocytosis in 10 patients.Urine tandem mass spectrometry revealed 3-methylglutaconic aciduria(3-MGCA)in 8 of 13 tested patients.Fifteen types of TAZ gene mutation were identified in the 18 patients,including 5 novel mutations.Genetic testing of the parents of 16 patients indicated maternal inheritance in 15 cases.The median follow-up period was 8.5(2.6,29.3)months,during which 12 patients died.The median age at death was 7.5(6.0,12.8)months.Causes of death included heart failure(7 cases,with 4 concurrent infections),sudden death(3 cases),ventricular fibrillation(1 case),and accidental death(1 case).Conclusion·BTHS is a rare genetic disorder with multisystem involvement.Its primary clinical manifestations include cardiomyopathy and neutropenia.The condition typically presents early in life,with severe progression and poor prognosis.Prompt recognition,accurate diagnosis,and early intervention are essential for managing this disease.

To evaluate five methods in the estimation on the rate of case fatality during the epidemics of diseases based on the summarizing data. Case fatality rates,derived from the simulation data,2003 SARS epidemic data in Hong Kong,Singapore Beijing and the 2013 H7N9 epidemic data in mainland China were analyzed,using these 5 methods. Results from the simulation analysis discovered that the relative errors and the standard deviations of the Chen[7,8] (method 3),Chen[9] (method 4) were minor with high accuracy. Data from the analysis on 2003 SARS epidemic was noticed that the estimation from method 3,4 in Hong Kong and Singapore both showing high veracities. Since the case fatality rate reported in Beijing was not a constant value,method 5 showed low accuracy even though it was close to the final case fatality rate. Data from the 2013 H7N9 epidemic showed that the estimations of method 1,2,3,4 were all higher than that in the method 5, suggesting that method 3,4 could be used to estimate the case fatality rates of epidemics more precisely.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) combined with percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) and posterior pedicle fixation through Wiltse approach in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis accompanied with lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:From June 2017 to February 2022, 103 patients (50 males and 53 females) of lumbar spondylolisthesis accompanied with lumbar spinal stenosis were performed with OLIF combined with PTED and posterior pedicle fixation. The mean age was 64.1±5.2 years (range, 42-87 years). All involved cases were single-segment and included 83 cases of L 4, 5, 17 cases of L 3, 4, and 3 cases of L 2, 3. Among them, 94 cases were performed for the first time, and other 9 were revision surgery treated by posterior lumbar laminectomy previously. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the low back pain and leg pain, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the lumbar function. The VAS and ODI scores were recorded respectively before the operation, at discharge, 1, 3, 6 months after the operation and at the last follow-up. Macnab criteria was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy at the last follow-up. At the same time, imaging measurements were conducted, including the anterior and posterior disc height, segmental lordotic angle, percentage of slip on lateral X-ray film and the vertebral canal area on axial MRI before and after surgery. Results:All of 103 patients were successfully operated in one stage with an average operation time of 177.7±21.5 min (range, 155-220 min), and an average intraoperative blood loss of 55.9±18.3 ml (range, 30-150 ml). The mean follow-up time were 15.1±2.6 months (range, 6-36 months). There were significant differences in both VAS scores of back and leg and ODI scores at each postoperative time point when compared with preoperative ( F=508.25, F=1524.82, F=1148.68, P<0.001). Macnab criteria of the last follow-up was evaluated as follow: excellent in 85 cases, good in 14, fair in 4, and the excellent and good rate was 96.1%. The radiographic results showed the mean immediate postoperative anterior disc height, posterior disc height, segmental lordotic angle, percentage of slip and axial area of the vertebral canal were 15.23±2.97 mm, 9.32±2.31 mm, 14.36°±4.18°, 3.89%±3.11%, 113.37±47.27 mm 2, and thus all of those increased significantly compared to the mean preoperative 11.93±3.17 mm, 7.21±2.03 mm, 6.15°±3.99°, 23.66%±7.79%, 57.63±28.91 mm 2, respectively ( t=7.84, t=7.07, t=14.91, t=27.62, t=9.68, P<0.001). All cases achieved bony fusion during 6-12 months after operation. The incidence of surgery-related complications was 10.7% (11/103). There were 3 cases of end plate fracture and 2 cases of dural injury, which had no complaint after operation. There was 1 case of pedicle screw entering into the spinal canal by mistake, and the symptoms of nerve damage appeared after operation. After 1 year it basically returned to normal. There were 2 cases of thigh numbness and 1 case of psoas major weakness after operation, all of which relieved after 4 weeks. There was 1 case continuous pain of abdominal incision after surgery. There was 1 case of cage subsidence at the last follow-up. Conclusion:OLIF combined with PTED and posterior pedicle fixation through Wiltse approach is a minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis accompanied with lumbar spinal stenosis. With the combined minimally invasive techniques, the decompression, fusion and fixation of the lumbar spine can be fulfilled perfectly. It has the advantages of minimally invasive, good clical outcome, few complications and rapid rehabilitation.

Objective:To determine the expression of circular RNA-SEC31A(circSEC31A) in pancreatic cancer and investigate the effects on the invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells and the underlying molecular mechanism.Methods:Differentially expressed circRNAs between pancreatic cancer cells (BXPC-3, PANC1, CaPan-2, SW1990) and human normal pancreatic cells (HPDE) were identified by qRT-PCR. Then, two cell lines with high circSEC31A expression were selected to conduct next experiments. According to the sequence of the back-splicing site in circSEC31A, siRNAs for downregulation of circSEC31A were designed and transfected by liposome to silence circSEC31A in pancreatic cancer cells, and grouped as followed siR-circSEC31A#1 and siR-circSEC31A#2. Meanwhile, siR-NC group transfected with non-specific siRNA served as control. Transwell assays and wound healing assays were operated to evaluate the functional role of circSEC31A on the invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells. RNA Pull-down assay with circSEC31A probe and oligo control probe was used to screen the miRNA combining with circSEC31A and the effects of miRNA on cell invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cells were validated. The effect of miR-200c-3p and circSEC31A silencing on the expression of PDK1 mRNA was identified by qRT-PCR. The protein expression of PDK1, downstream Akt and p-Akt after circSEC31A silencing was verified by Western blotting assays.Results:The relative expression level of circSEC31A in HPDE (1.000±0.120) was obviously lower than that in BXPC-3 (1.920±0.130), SW1990 (2.93±0.528), PANC1 (4.557±0.692) and CaPan-2 (5.247±0.194), and all the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Compared with the PANC1 siR-NC group (1301.3±94.6) and CaPan-2 siR-NC group (1835.0±70.1) per 100 high power field, transwell assays showed that the numbers of invasive pancreatic cancer cells was highly decreased in PANC1 siR-circSEC31A#1 group (727.3±92.9), siR-circSEC31A#2 group (792.0±18.1), CaPan-2 siR-circSEC31A#1 group (718.0±90.6), siR-circSEC31A#2 group (692.7±84.8). Wound healing assays showed that silencing circSEC31A decreased the wound healing rate of pancreatic cancer cells in PANC1 siR-circSEC31A#1 group (20.667±3.215)%, siR-circSEC31A#2 group (20.000±4.583)%, CaPan-2 siR-circSEC31A#1 group (28.000±8.185)%, siR-circSEC31A#2 group (29.667±5.686)%, compared with the PANC1 siR-NC group (55.000±4.359)% and CaPan-2 siR-NC group (69.000±3.606)%. RNA Pull-down assays showed that compared with PANC1 oligo probe group (1.000±0.091) and CaPan-2 oligo probe group (1.000±0.153), miR-200c-3p was significantly enriched in the PANC1 circSEC31A probe group (2.237±0.175) and CaPan-2 circSEC31A probe group (2.166±0.156). Compared with PANC1 siR-NC group (939.3±57.0) and CaPan-2 siR-NC group (786.7±51.5) per 100 high power field, the numbers of invasive pancreatic cancer cells were up-regulated in PANC1 siR-miR-200c-3p group (1206.0±99.1) and CaPan-2 siR-miR-200c-3p group (1838.0±105.7), while the low numbers of invasive pancreatic cancer cells were observed in PANC1 siR-miR-200c-3p+ siR-circSEC31A group (932.7±116.4) and CaPan-2 siR-miR-200c-3p+ siR-circSEC31A group (785.3±58.8). Compared with PANC1 siR-NC group (1.000±0.103) and CaPan-2 siR-NC group (1.000±0.107), the relative expression of PDK1 mRNA in PANC1 siR-miR-200c-3p group (1.898±0.159) and CaPan-2 siR-miR-200c-3p group (2.102±0.337) was upregulated. Furthermore, the expression of PDK1 mRNA was decreased in the siR-miR-200c-3p+ siR-circSEC31A group (0.980±0.070, 1.015±0.079). Western blot assays showed that the expression of PDK1 protein in PANC1 siR-NC group, siR-circSEC31A#1 group, siR-circSEC31A#2 group was 0.767±0.086, 0.281±0.191, 0.333±0.062 and in CaPan-2 siR-NC group, siR-circSEC31A#1 group, siR-circSEC31A#2 group was 0.712±0.038, 0.353±0.061, 0.308±0.018. The expression of p-Akt protein in PANC1 siR-NC group and siR-circSEC31A group was 0.741±0.050, 0.114±0.027, 0.139±0.041. In addition, p-Akt protein expression in CaPan-2 siR-NC group and siR-circSEC31A group was 0.823±0.052, 0.141±0.045, 0.280±0.089. PDK1 and p Akt expression in siR circSEC31A group was obviously lower than those in sir NC group. All the differences between either groups above were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:circSEC31A is upregulated in pancreatic cancer cells, which facilitates the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells via miR-200c-3p/PDK1/Akt signaling pathway, supporting that circSEC31A may function as a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 30% ethanol elution fraction of Artemisia absinthium extract with macroporous resin (AAEM-30%) on the dendritic cell (DC) and immunity of mice. Methods:AAEM-30% was obtained from the alcoholic extracts of A. absinthium by AB-8 macroporous resin, and its polysaccharide, flavonoid, and terpenoid contents were determined. The expressions of AAEM-30% on DC surface molecular cluster of differentiation (CD) 40, CD80 and CD86 were detected in vitro by flow cytometry, and the expressions of DC cytokines IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of AAEM-30% on the immune function of ICR mice was measured in vivo with different doses (50 and 100 mg/kg) and different administration methods (subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, and gavage). Results:The contents of polysaccharides, flavonoids, and terpenoids in AAEM-30% were 24.30%, 22.50% and 28.19%, respectively. AAEM-30% significantly enhanced the expression of CD40, and CD86 and the secretion of IL-6 and TNF-α (all P<0.001). Compared with the control group, no statistically significant differences were found in the body mass of mice compared with the three administration methods (all P>0.05). The thymus index in the 50 and 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% intraperitoneal injection groups and the spleen index in the 50 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group were increased (all P<0.05). CD19 + cells increased in the 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% intraperitoneal injection group ( P<0.01) and in the 50 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group ( P<0.05). The CD11b + and CD11c + counts increased in the 100 mg/kg AAEM-30% gavage group ( P<0.05). The number of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes was increased by both gavage and intraperitoneal administration (all P<0.05). Conclusions:AAEM-30% can promote the maturation of DC and enhanced the immunity of mice without obvious side effects.
