Objective To explore the effect and safety of right unilateral modified electroconvulsive therapy(RUL-MECT)for major depressive disorder patients(MDD).Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 70 patients with MDD who were randomly divided into a study group and a control group.The study group underwent age-based RUL-MECT,while the control group underwent bitemporal MECT.The participants were evaluated using the 17-item Hamilton depression scale(HAMD-17),MATRICS consensus cognitive battery(MCCB)and orientation recovery tests(ORT).Any adverse reactions that occurred during each intervention process were recorded.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the HAMD-17(32.89±5.68 vs.33.54±4.78)between the two groups(P>0.05).The HAMD-17 score of the intervention group was 6.83±4.68,while the control group was 7.20±4.60 after 8 interventions,repeated measures analysis of variance showed the time effect(P<0.001)was significant.The intergroup effect and interaction effect was not significant(P>0.05).In terms of MCCB scores,there were significant main effect(P<0.001)in connectivity tests,symbol coding,language memory,spatial breadth,number sequence,maze test,visual memory,emotional management and the duration of continuous operation.The intergroup effects of language memory,number sequence,visual memory,speech fluency,and continuous operation were significant(P<0.05).The interaction effect of language memory and continuous operation were significant(P<0.05).After the intervention,the recovery of orientation time was significantly shorter in the study group than that in the control group[(508.57±104.48)s vs.(631.66±212.27)s](P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions between two groups(28.6% vs.40.0% )has no significance(P>0.05).Conclusions Compared with bitemporal MECT,RUL-MECT has comparable efficacy in treating depressant and better performance in improving cognitive function and recovery of orientation.

Objective:To discover the relationship between the RNF213 gene and acute myeloid leukemia(AML),and explore the effect of RNF213 on the proliferation and apoptosis of THP-1 cells.Methods:Analyze the expression of RNF213 gene in AML and its relationship with prognosis through the GEPIA database.Collecting 30 AML patients and non-tumor hematological patients who went to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2017 to January 2022.RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of RNF213 mRNA and protein.Perform survival of patients was analysed by Kaplan-Meier.Meanwhile,the expression levels of RNF213 mRNA and protein were detected in AML cell lines(THP-1,OCI-AML2).CRISPR-Cas9 was used to knockdown the RNF213 gene in THP-1 cells;flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis rate of cell.CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to detect cell proliferation.Western blot was used to detect the expression level of Cleaved-Caspase 3 protein.Results:Compared with the control group,the expression level of RNF213 in AML patients was significantly increased,and patients with high expression of RNF213 have a worse prgnosis.Higher expression level of RNF213 protein in THP-1 cells.After knocking down the RNF213 gene of THP-1 cells,cell proliferation was significantly reduced,and the apoptosis rate and expression of apoptosis related protein Cleared-Caspase3 were significantly increased.Conclusion:AML patients have high expression of RNF213,and the prognosis of high expression patients is poor.The RNF213 gene affects AML cell proliferation and apoptosis,and may be a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for AML.

Objective:To explore the clinical correlation and prognostic value of the Albumin-Bilirubin(ALBI)score in children with secondary hemophagocytic syndrome(sHLH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of children's sHLH cases clearly diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from January 2012 to March 2023.Survival analysis was conducted according to the ALBI classification.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted between the ALBI score and clinical indicators.The Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the ALBI score,select the best cutoff value,and evaluate the accuracy of prognostic prediction value.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve.Log-rank method was used to compare the differences of survival curve between groups.Cox regression was used for prognostic analysis and restricted cubic spline curves used to calculate the relationship between ALBI scores and the risk of death in children with sHLH.Results:A total of 128 children with sHLH were included in this study,with a median age of 38(13.25,84)months.There were 70 males(54.69％)and 58 females(45.31％).The survival analysis results of ALBI grading showed that the survival rate of HLH patients with ALBI grade 3 was significantly lower than those with ALBI grades 1 and 2.Spearman correlation analysis results showed that ALBI score was positively correlated with splenomegaly,respiratory failure,disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),pulmonary hemorrhage,gastrointestinal hemorrhage,central nervous system involvement,ALT,AST,TG,LDH,PT,APTT,and SF(the correlation coefficients are:r=0.181,0.362,0.332,0.221,0.351,0.347,0.391,0.563,0.180,0.448,0.483,0.37,0.356),and was negatively correlated with HB,PLT,and FIB(the correlation coefficients are:r=-0.321,-0.316,-0.423),but was not significantly correlated with EBV infection,fungal infection,hepatomegaly,and ANC(P＞0.05).Using the ROC curve,the cutoff value of ALBI was-1.76.Single factor Cox regression analysis results showed that HB＜90 g/L,ALT ≥ 80 U/L,AST≥200 U/L,LDH ≥1 000 U/L,PT ≥20 s,APTT≥40 s,FIB＜1.5 g/L,ALBI ≥-1.76,combined pulmonary hemorrhage,DIC,central nervous system involvement,gastrointestinal bleeding,and not using blood purification may be the prognostic risk factors for children with sHLH(P＜0.05).Multivariate Cox regression results showed that FIB＜1.5 g/L(HR=2.119,95％CI:1.028-4.368),ALBI≥-1.76(HR=2.452,95％CI:1.233-4.875),and central nervous system involvement(HR=4.674,95％CI:2.486-8.789)were independent risk factors affecting prognosis,while blood purification(HR=0.306,95％CI:0.153-0.612)was an independent protective factor for prognosis.The application of restricted cubic splines shows that the risk of death increases with the increase of ALBI score.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the ALBI score for predicting the risk of 1-week,2-week,4-week,and overall mortality were 0.825,0.807,0.700,and 0.693,respectively,indicating good predictive performance for early mortality risk.According to subgroup analysis results of clinical manifestations,compared with the ALBI＜-1.76 group,ALBI≥-1.76 was associated with age ≤2 years,EBV infection,HLH-1994/2004 treatment,concomitant respiratory failure,and ANC≤1.0 × 109/L,HB＜90 g/L,PLT＜100 × 109/L,TG≥3.0 mmol/L,LDH ≥ 1 000 U/L,APTT≥40 s,and FIB＜1.5 g/L(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The ALBI score is related to the clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators of sHLH,and can be used as a beneficial indicator for assessing the prognostic risk of sHLH in children.It has good accuracy and clinical application value in predicting the prognosis of sHLH in children.

Objective:To summarize and visualize the status quo,future hotspots and development trend of ED-related resear-ches in China through bibliometric analysis.Methods:We searched the Web of Science Core Collection(WOSCC)and the database of Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)for ED-related studies published in China from January 1,2010 to August 14,2023.Using the CiteSpace and VOSviewer softwares,we bibliometrically analyzed and visualized the related journals,regions,institu-tions,authors,key words,co-citations and other indexes of the identified studies.Results:A total of 2,465 ED-related studies were retrieved,with an increasing number of publications year by year,relatively more in the southeast region,with Sun Yat-sen University ranking the first in the number of published articles(n=169),LIU Jihong(n=73),WANG Tao(n=71)and JIANG Rui(n=49)as the top three prolific core authors.The first two Chinese journals with the most ED-related publications were Chinese Journal of Andrology(n=320)and Journal of Sexual Medicine(n=128),and the latter was also the mostly cited(n=5 060).Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that the highest-frequency Chinese terms included impotence,anxiety,andrology,expert consensus,ex-perience of famous doctors,acupuncture,Earthworm protein(Chinese)and hypertension,and the English terms included erectile dys-function,apoptosis,inflammation,fibrosis,risk and women.Conclusion:Recent years have wit-nessed a rapid development in ED-related studies in China,with the risk factors and patho-genic mechanisms of ED as hot topics.PDE5 inhibitors and adipose-derived stem cells for the treatment of ED have attracted long and continuous attention and will remain an important target of future research.

Objective:To analyze the current status and deficiencies of family bed service policies in China, for references for promoting the construction of China′s home health service system.Methods:Key words such as " family bed" and " home health services" were used to search for relevant policies(from January 1, 1984 to May 31, 2023)in Peking University Treasure Database, the State Council′s policy document repository, and official websites of health administrative departments at all levels. NVivo 11.0 software was utilized for a three-level coding process to establish a policy text analysis framework and to identify deficiencies in the construction of policies.Results:A total of 63 policy documents were included, comprising 53 provincial and municipal documents, which were mainly concentrated in economically developed provinces; After three-level coding, 72 third level nodes, 21 second level nodes, and 8 first level nodes(service objects, service providers, service methods, service content, service fees, subsidy policies, hospital bed configuration, and standardized management) were obtained. Among them, the responsibilities of service providers needed to be further clarified, the technical and innovative nature of service content was still insufficient, the charging standards and medical insurance reimbursement policies needed to be improved, the support for subsidy policies was limited, and the use of intelligent devices in bed configuration needed to be strengthened.Conclusions:China′s family bed service policy focused on eight dimensions, covering a comprehensive range of content, but there were still areas that need to be refined and improved. This study suggested that relevant departments should further clarify the responsibilities of service providers, deepen the construction of service connotations, moderately increase government support, promote the intelligent construction of services, and achieve multi-party collaboration to jointly promote the sustainable development of family bed services in China.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of enhanced tibial transverse transport(TTT)in con-junction with vacuum-assisted closure(VAC)therapy for managing recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from diabetic foot patients with Wagner grade≥2 who were treated at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine between July 2020 and December 2022.The patients were categorized into three groups based on their treatment regimen:VSD treatment(VSD group),modified TTT treatment(TTT group),and combined application of TTT and VSD(combined group).A one-year follow-up was performed to assess general data,ulcer area before and three months after surgery,ankle brachial index,visual analog pain score,as well as adverse events within one year post-surgery among the three groups.Results The VSD group consisted of 43 patients,while the TTT group consisted of 43 patients,and the combined group consisted of 42 patients.There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics among the three groups(P＞0.05).Patients in the VSD group had longer ulcer healing time,higher pain scores,lower ankle brachial index(P＜0.05),larger ulcer area(P=0.029),and higher one-year ulcer recurrence rate compared to those in the TTT group.On the other hand,patients in the combined group had shorter ulcer healing time compared to those in the TTT group(P=0.046).However,there were no significant differences observed between these two groups regarding ulcer area(P=0.362),pain scores(P=0.932),ankle brachial index(P=0.671),and one-year ulcer recurrence rate(P=0.710).Conclusions The efficacy of modified TTT surpasses that of VSD in promoting ulcer healing,alleviating pain,and enhancing lower limb circulation.Furthermore,the combination of VSD with modified TTT demonstrates a potential to further expedite wound healing time.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory role of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)on radiation-induced lung injury in mice by the ferroptosis pathway.Methods:The mice were divided into normal control group,MSCs-treated group(MSCs group),single irradiation group(IR group)and IR combined with MSCs group(IR+MSCs group)according to random number table method before irradiation.A mouse model of radiation-induced lung injury was constructed using whole thorax irradiation with cobalt 60(60Co)(20Gy each time),and TNF-α and IL-6 levels of mouse were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The injury of lung tissue in mice was assessed using hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.Western Blot was used to examine the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins in lung tissue,including nuclear factor erythroid NF-E2 related factor 2(Nrf2),4-Hydroxynonenal(4-HNE)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).The expression level of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 Gene(PTGS2)in the lung tissue of mice was detected by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),and the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the lung tissue of mice was detected after radiation by using dihydroethidium(DHE),and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)content in the lung tissue was detected after radiation.And then,the level of oxidative damage in the lung tissue of mice was assessed.Results:Elisa results showed the serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels in mice after irradiation in IR group were significantly higher than those in normal control group(F=53.60,10.65,P＜0.05),respectively.The HE and MSCs staining of pathological analysis showed that MSCs treatment could significantly relieve both early radiation-induced pneumonitis and advanced pulmonary fibrosis.After radiation,the 4-HNE expression level was upregulation and the Nrf2 expression level was downregulation in the lung tissues of mice,whereas MSCs were able to significantly reduce the 4-HNE expression and upregulate the Nrf2 expression.The mRNA expression level and MDA content of the ferroptosis gene PTGS2 were significantly increased,which were significantly higher than those of normal control group,while MSCs were able to significantly reduce its expression,and the differences were statistically significant(F=105.8,7.693,P＜0.05).Conclusion:MSCs is able to relieve significantly ionizing radiation-induced ferroptosis of lung epithelial cells,thereby relieve radiation-induced lung injury.
