The ultrastructural localization of substance P (SP) immunoreactivity, especially the morphology, number and distribution of positive large granular vesicles (LGV) in SP axon terminals of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis of the rat were studied by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. This study revealed that SP immunoreactivity was mostly located in axon terminals and unmyelinated fibers. SP axon terminals contained both clear round vesicles and LGV. SP immunoreactivity was found in LGV, and on the surface of clear round vesicles and outer membrane of mitochondria. Positive LGV were spherical or oval in shape (60~120nm in diameter). The number of LGv was mostly 2~3 in a SP axon terminal. LGV often apposed to the axolemma or scattered in the centre of terminal. LGV were far from the presynaptic sites of the SP terminals which formed synapses. The number of LGV closed to the terminal membrane was significantly (P

Previous studies have demonstrated that exocytotic release from large dense cored vesicle(LDV)at structurally non-specialized areas within axon terminal of the medullary dorsal horn and it has been speculated that non-synaptic exocytosis from LDV may be a probable mechanism for neuropeptide release. This study provides the evidence that SP containing LDV can release their contents by exocytosis at non-synaptic sites of axon terminal within superficial dorsal horn of medulla oblongata in the rat with ultrastructural immunohistochemistry staining by an unilateral deafferentation. The results of this study confirmed previous hypothesis that SP and perhaps other peptides containing LDV release their contents by exocytosis at non-specialized sites and the significance of such release is discussed.

Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an important surgical treatment of Parkinson disease, but its exact mechanism is still unclear.In this study, a 16-channel implantable microelectrode array (MEA) was prepared by micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technique and later modified with platinum black/reduced Graphene Oxide/Nafion (Pt/RGO/Nafion) nanocomposites.Extracellular dopamine (DA) content and spike of dorsal striatum neurons were synchronously recorded before and after STN stimulation.The results showed that the dopamine content began to increase within 20 s after electrical stimulation and dropped to normal level after about 50 s, with the highest rising concentration of 1.72 μmol/L.At the same time, there was an increased spike activity of interneurons in the dopamine ascending phase, and the spike firing rate of medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs) was high when the concentration of DA was higher than the normal level.The MEA sensor can simultaneously record dopamine flux and physiological signals in situ, thus providing an ideal tool for neural information detection.

OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to investigate the associations of obesity phenotypes with hypertension stages, phenotypes, and transitions among middle-aged and older Chinese.
METHODS:
Using the 2011-2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis included 9,015 subjects and a longitudinal analysis included 4,961 subjects, with 4,872 having full data on the hypertension stage and 4,784 having full data on the hypertension phenotype. Based on body mass index and waist circumstance, subjects were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive obesity phenotypes: normal weight with no central obesity (NWNCO), abnormal weight with no central obesity (AWNCO), normal weight with central obesity (NWCO), and abnormal weight with central obesity (AWCO). Hypertension stages were classified into normotension, pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, and stage 2 hypertension. Hypertension phenotypes were categorized as normotension, pre-hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systolic-diastolic hypertension (SDH). The association between obesity phenotypes and hypertension was estimated by logistic regression. A comparison between different sexes was conducted by testing the interaction effect of sex.
RESULTS:
NWCO was associated with normal→stage 2 (odds ratio [OR], 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11 to 3.42), maintained stage 1 (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.29), and normal→ISH (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.85). AWCO was associated with normal→stage 1 (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.40 to 2.19), maintained stage 1 (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 2.06 to 3.72), maintained stage 2 (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.50 to 5.25), normal→ISH (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.20 to 2.02), and normal→SDH (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.72 to 3.75). An interaction effect of sex existed in the association between obesity phenotypes and hypertension stages.
CONCLUSIONS
This study highlights the importance of various obesity phenotypes and sex differences in hypertension progression. Tailored interventions for different obesity phenotypes may be warranted in hypertension management, taking into account sex-specific differences to improve outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current status and trend of opioids consumption in China, and to provide reference for rational use of opioids. METHODS: Purchasing data on five opioids as fentanyl, morphine, pethidine, oxycodone and hydromorphone, were extracted from the database of the Medicine Economic Information Network from 2014 to 2016. Drug consumption was measured by the daily dose per million population (unit: S-DDD), and the consumption amount of all opioids and different dosage forms (including oral dosage form, injection and other form) in China and different districts were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: The consumption amount of five opioids increased from 69.62 S-DDD in 2014 to 78.64 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of hydromorphone and oxycodone showed an upward trend, while the consumption amount of morphine was basically unchanged, and the consumption amount of fentanyl and pethidine showed a downward trend. The consumption amount of oral dosage form increased from 39.77 S-DDD in 2014 to 45.61 S-DDD in 2016, the consumption amount of the injection increased from 20.74 S-DDD in 2014 to 24.23 S-DDD in 2016, and the consumption amount of other form decreased from 9.11 S-DDD in 2014 to 8.81 S-DDD in 2016. The consumption amount of oral dosage form was around twice that of injection, with the gap expanding yearly. Regionally, the consumption amount of five opioids in the eastern region was the highest, followed by the western region, and the lowest but the highest growth rate in the central region from 2014 to 2016 (in 2016, consumption amount of eastern, western and central regions were 94.04, 67.90, 63.78 S-DDD, with increase rate of 8.50%, 11.77%, 16.17%, compared with 2014). Morphine was the most widely used drug in all regions, followed by fentanyl; in the eastern and central regions, the use of oral and injection dosage form increased year by year; in western region, the use of oral dosage forms increased while that of injection decreased year by year. CONCLUSIONS: The opioids consumption in China is increasing overall, with regional differences. Nonetheless, the overall consumption is still low. On the premise of strict supervision, it is necessary to take measures to promote the rational use of opioids in different areas.

Objective:To provide evidence for the selection of fixation devices and CTV to PTV margins (M ptv) in precision radiotherapy for pelvic tumors by analyzing three fixation devices in precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods:From April 2015 to December 2020, 133 prostate cancer patients treated with pelvic drainage area irradiation in our center were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were fixed with 1.2m vacuum bag (n=39), 1.8m vacuum bag (n=44) and personalized prone plate by our center (n=50). Each patient was asked to complete our bowel and bladder preparation process before positioning and radiotherapy. The registration of CBCT to planned CT before each treatment adopted the same registration box and algorithm. Setup errors in the SI, LR and AP directions under qualified bowel and bladder conditions were recorded. Setup errors in three directions under three fixation devices and corresponding M ptv values were analyzed. The correlation between setup errors with age and body mass index (BMI) was analyzed. Results:Analysis of 3333 setup errors data showed: in the SI and LR directions, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (3.26mm, 2.34mm) were greater than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (2.51mm, P<0.001; 1.90mm, P<0.001), and personalized prone plate (3.07mm, P=0.066; 2.10 mm, P=0.009). In the AP direction, the mean setup errors of 1.2m vacuum bag (supine)(2.20mm) were smaller than those of 1.8m vacuum bag (3.33mm, P<0.001) and personalized prone plate (3.61mm, P<0.001). The setup errors of 1.8m vacuum bag in all directions were smaller than those of personalized prone plate (P≤0.028). According to Van Herk's expansion formula, the M ptv of 1.2m vacuum bag in three directions was approximately 4 mm. The M ptv of 1.8m vacuum bag and personalized prone plate in the SI and LR directions was approximately 3 mm, and more than 5 mm in the AP direction. The setup errors were not correlated with age or BMI. Conclusions:From the setup errors results of three devices, 1.8m vacuum bag is the best, followed by personalized prone plate. And supine position is better than prone position in the AP direction.

Central nervous system (CNS) is a sophisticated system subject to complex regulation, which dominates the high-level neural activities of the human body. Due to its complex physiological structure and refined regulatory mechanism covering a variety of diseases, CNS is the place where many chronic, refractory and rare diseases occur. Nerve cell is the basic unit of CNS, and its dysfunction and death is the root cause of CNS diseases. Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death proposed in recent years, and has been proved to be closely related to the production and development of multiple CNS diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including Chinese herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion, and massage, has shown unique advantages in the treatment of CNS diseases for a long time. A large number of studies have demonstrated that TCM participates in the regulation of CNS diseases via regulating ferroptosis and shows a good research prospect. This paper summarized the characteristics of ferroptosis and discussed the association between ferroptosis and CNS diseases in pathological mechanism. We also reviewed the regulation of various CNS diseases by different TCM interventions through ferroptosis, providing references for TCM to participate in the treatment of CNS diseases properly in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the equity of medicine in China ,and to provide reference for promoting the full coverage policy for essential medicine. METHODS :Taking hypertension essential medicines full coverage policy in 4 areas of Taizhou in Zhejiang province as an example ,the electronic health records of patients in baseline year and the first , second and third years after the implementation of the full coverage policy of hypertension were collected. The catastrophic expenditure of family drugs was used to measure the medicine cost burden ,and the effects of policy on the equity and change of local medicine cost burden were analyz ed by means of concentration index and its decomposition method. RESULTS :With the increase of the proportion of patients taking free medicine ,the incidence of catastrophic expenditure on household medicines in the high,middle and low income group decreased year by year generally (decreasing from 6.3%,12.0%,16.4% of baseline year to 4.7%,8.9%,12.4% at the third year after the implementation of the policy );the gap among the three groups was in narrowed trendency. The concentration indexes of the baseline year and the first ,second,third year after the implementation of policy were -0.198,-0.186,-0.181,-0.202,the policy contribution rates of which were 0,-1.335%,-4.507% and 1.936%;and the policy contribution rates in the change of the yearly concentration index were 20.8%,95.0% and 57.6%. CONCLUSIONS :The implementation of the full coverage policy for essential medicines is conducive to improving the equity of the medicine expenditure burden. The effect is affected by the implementation of policies and supporting systems ,but the comprehensive promotion of the equity of medicine requires multi-policy synergy.
