BACKGROUND:Spinal cord injury often leads to neurogenic bladder with hyperreflexia of the forced urethral muscle,but there is a lack of clear understanding of its pathogenesis and treatment,and establishing a stable and reliable animal model has an important impact on revealing its pathomechanisms and exploring therapeutic approaches.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the number of times to urinate on neurogenic model rats after complete spinal cord transection in order to improve the postoperative survival and modeling rate of neurogenic model rats.METHODS:Out of 46 female Sprague-Dawley rats,6 were selected as the sham-operated group using the random number table method,and the remaining 40 rats were randomly divided into 0,1,3,and 5 times daily urination groups after complete spinal cord transection modeling,with 10 rats in each group.The residual urine volume was measured every 3 days within 19 postoperative days,and the survival and modeling were observed on the 19th day after the operation,and urodynamics tests and contraction experiments of isolated forced urethra muscle strips were performed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Survival and modeling rate:there was 10%survival rate and 10%modeling rate in the group of 0 times daily urination;20%survival rate and 10%modeling rate in the group of 1 time daily urination;70%survival rate and 70%modeling rate in the groups of 3 and 5 times daily urination.(2)Residual urine volume:compared with the sham-operated group,the residual urine volume of the groups of 3 and 5 times daily urination was significant increased on postoperative days 3,6,9,12,and 15(P<0.01);the residual urine volume of the groups of 3 and 5 times daily urination was increased on the 18th day after surgery(P<0.05).Compared with the 3 times daily urination group,the residual urine volume was decreased in the 5 times daily urination group on the 6th day after surgery(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the residual urine volume between the 3 and 5 times daily urination groups on the 3rd,9th,12th,15th,and 18th days after surgery.(3)Urodynamics:Compared with the sham-operated group,the differential pressure at the point of leakage was significantly reduced(P<0.01)and the maximal volume was significantly increased(P<0.01)in the 3 and 5 times daily urination groups.There was no statistical difference in the differential pressure at the point of leakage and the maximal volume between the 3 and 5 times daily urination groups.(4)Muscle-strip contraction test of isolated detrusor muscles:Compared with the sham-operated group,the contraction amplitude and frequency of detrusor muscle strips were significantly reduced in the 3 and 5 times daily urination groups(P<0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in the contraction amplitude and frequency of detrusor muscle strips between the 3 and 5 times daily-urination groups.In conclusion,assisted urination is one of the keys to establish a successful neurogenic model of urethral reflexes,and there is no significant difference in the effects of urinating 3 or 5 times a day on the neurogenic model.It is recommended to urinate at least 3 times a day based on the actual workload and the modeling rate.

Objective:To construct a bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory and verify the practical effect, to provide a reference for further standardizing handover behavior and improving the efficiency of handover management.Methods:A quasi-experimental research method was adopted. From January 2022 to January 2023, nurses from the Department of Urology of Tongji Medical College Affiliated Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were selected by cluster sampling. From January to June 2022, routine bedside handover management was implemented. In July 2022, a one-month training on the bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory was conducted for urology nurses. From August 2022 to January 2023, the bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory was implemented. The incidence of handover problems among nurses, the evaluation of handover among nurses, the qualified rate of nurses' disease awareness, and the satisfaction of patients with handover were compared before and after the training.Results:A total of 48 nurses were included. They were the same batch of nurses before and after the training, including 2 males and 46 females, with an age of (32.23 ± 5.50) years. A total of 1 180 inpatients were included before the training, including 921 males and 259 females, with an age of (56.69 ± 17.24) years. After the training, 1 240 inpatients were included, including 946 males and 294 females, with an age of (55.50 ± 18.85) years. The incidence of handover problems among nurses after the training was 3.71% (46/1 240), which was lower than 9.92% (117/1 180) before the training, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=37.07, P<0.05). After the training, the total score of handover evaluation for nurses and the qualified rate of nurses' disease awareness were (80.08 ± 3.74) points and 91.67% (44/48) respectively, which were higher than (73.10 ± 3.53) points and 72.92% (35/48) before the training, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-0.94, χ2=5.79, both P<0.05). The total score of satisfaction with bedside handover of patients after the training was (76.13 ± 4.50) points, which was higher than (67.92 ± 4.64) points before the training, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-13.99, P<0.05). Conclusions:The bedside handover management plan based on the intervention mapping theory can effectively strengthen the quality of bedside handover, improve the satisfaction with bedside handover of patients, and deepen nursing quality.

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)on learning and memory ability and nucle-ar factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf2),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1),reactive oxygen species(ROS)in hippocampus of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBI)and its anti-oxidative stress mechanism.Methods:A total of 76 neonatal rats were randomly divided into Sham opera-tion group(Sham),HIBI model group(HIBI),electroacupuncture group(HIBI+EA),and Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 group(HIBI+EA+ML385).The neonatal rat model of HIBI was established by classical Rice method.The HIBI+EA group was treated with electroacupuncture for 30 min/d for 14 consecutive days.In the HIBI+EA+ML385 group,30 mg/kg ML385 was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h before each electroacupuncture intervention.Morris water maze test was performed on 21 days after modeling to test the learning and memory ability of neonatal rats in each group.Nissl staining and HE staining were used to observe the morphology of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region,and DHE flu-orescent probe was used to detect the expression of ROS in the hippocampal CA1 region.The contents of Nrf2,GPX4 and NQO1 in hippocampus were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the Sham group,the HIBI group had severe pathological damage,a prolonged escape latency,a decreased number of platform crossings,a significantly increased expression of ROS,and a significantly decreased expression of Nrf2,GPX4,and NQO1(P<0.05).Com-pared with HIBI group,the pathological damage was significantly attenuated,the escape latency was shortened,the number of platform crossings was increased,the expression of ROS was decreased,and the expression of Nrf2,GPX4 and NQO1 was increased in HIBI+EA group(P<0.05).Compared with HIBI+EA group,the pathological damage was aggravated,the escape latency was prolonged,the number of crossing the platform was decreased,the expression of ROS was increased,and the expression of Nrf2,GPX4,and NQO1 was decreased in HIBI+EA+ML385 group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture can effectively improve the learning and memory ability of hypoxic-ischemic neonatal rats,which is related to its effect in reducing oxidative stress in hippocampal neurons by regulating Nrf2 signa-ling pathway.

BACKGROUND:The dysfunction of bladder function caused by spinal cord injury is a difficult point in clinical treatment and a hot spot in research.Repairing the injured spinal cord and remodeling the bladder micturition reflex pathway are the fundamental treatment methods. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the reconstruction of the bladder innervation pathway after spinal cord transection injury and its related influencing factors. METHODS:The relevant literature concerning the reconstruction of bladder micturition reflex,neurogenic bladder and urinary reflex and spinal cord repair was retrieved on CNKI,WanFang Data,PubMed and Web of Science.Chinese and English search terms were"neurogenic bladder;spinal cord injury;micturition reflex;spinal cord repair". RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the process of reconstructing the bladder micturition reflex,there are many factors involved,including the repair and reconstruction of the injured spinal cord,the remodeling of micturition center,the changes of bladder tissue and substances and hormones in and out of the body.In this process,there are mainly the following problems:(1)As a complex process,there are many sites involved in the reconstruction of the micturition reflex,so the main sites of action can be selected for in-depth study,so as to break through the doubts existing in the reconstruction of the micturition reflex pathway.(2)The mechanism of the normal micturition reflex is complex.After spinal cord transection injury,whether the central nucleus mass controlling or participating in the micturition reflex is compensated and the corresponding compensatory mechanism needs to be further investigated.(3)Information communication between the center and the bladder is interrupted after spinal cord transection injury.Whether there is a direct information connection between the center and the bladder remains to be further investigated.(4)The relationship between reconstructing micturition reflex and body fluid after spinal cord transection injury needs further study.In the reconstruction of the bladder micturition reflex,the key treatment is to promote spinal cord repair,nerve reflex reconstruction,substance metabolism and bladder tissue structure adjustment through intervention.Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their methods.

ObjectiveTo provide a new idea for exploring the molecular genetic approach to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia via construction of microRNA-messenger RNA （miRNA-mRNA） regulatory network in schizophrenia. MethodsThe microarray datasets of GSE54578 miRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood and GSE145554 mRNA expression in the anterior cingulate in postmortem brain of schizophrenic subjects were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database since July 2021. The GEO2R was used to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs， screen the miRNA with target differentially expressed mRNA， and predict their potential upstream transcription factors. The overlapping genes from the mRNA targeted by the differentially expressed miRNA and the mRNA differentially expressed in GSE145554 dataset were collected. Then the biological features of hub genes were analyzed via Gene Ontology （GO） analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis， and the protein-protein interaction （PPI） network and miRNA-mRNA regulatory network of hub genes were constructed. ResultsA total of 8 up-regulated differentially expressed miRNAs with targeted mRNA were screened out in GSE54578 datasets regarding schizophrenia， which involved in the regulation of 10 transcription factors， 247 down-regulated differentially expressed mRNAs were screened out in GSE145554 datasets， and 17 overlapping mRNAs were obtained. GO analysis showed that the target mRNAs were mainly involved in astrocyte differentiation and development. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the target mRNAs were mainly involved in Rap1 and Ras signaling pathways. PPI network analysis showed that the mRNAs （KRAS and CD28） might be key genes in schizophrenia. ConclusionThe integrated bioinformatics analysis based on GEO database can identify potential susceptibility genes in schizophrenia， and it also contributes to the construction of miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in schizophrenia.

In addition to causing high disability and high fatality rates, ruptured intracranial aneurysms can also cause cognitive impairment. Although preventive surgical treatment can avoid intracranial aneurysm rupture and bleeding, patients may still have a certain degree of cognitive impairment, even in patients with good clinical recovery after surgery. There is no systematic review on the effect of different surgical methods on cognitive function, and the best surgical method is still inconclusive. This article reviews the cognitive impairment in patients with intracranial aneurysm, hoping to provide a basis for clinical treatment decisions.

Neuroplastin 65 (Np65) is an immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecule involved in synaptic formation and plasticity. Our recent study showed that Np65-knockout (KO) mice exhibit abnormal cognition and emotional disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we found 588 differentially-expressed genes in Np65-KO mice by microarray analysis. RT-PCR analysis also revealed the altered expression of genes associated with development and synaptic structure, such as Cdh1, Htr3a, and Kcnj9. In addition, the expression of Wnt-3, a Wnt protein involved in development, was decreased in Np65-KO mice as evidenced by western blotting. Surprisingly, MRI and DAPI staining showed a significant reduction in the lateral ventricular volume of Np65-KO mice. Together, these findings suggest that ablation of Np65 influences gene expression, which may contribute to abnormal brain development. These results provide clues to the mechanisms underlying the altered brain functions of Np65-deficient mice.
