Demyelination of the central nervous system often occurs in neurodegenerative diseases， such as multiple sclerosis （MS）. The myelin sheath， a layer of myelin membrane wrapping the axon， plays a role in the rapid conduction and metabolic coupling of impulses for neurons. The exposure of the axon will lead to axonal degeneratio， and further neuronal degeneration， which is the main cause of dysfunction and even disability in patients with demyelinating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to the demyelination of mature myelin sheath， remyelination disorder is also one of the major reasons leading to the development of the diseases. The myelin sheath is composed of oligodendrocytes （OLs） derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells （OPCs） which are differentiated from neural stem cells （NSCs）. The process of myelin regeneration， i.e.， remyelination， is the differentiation of NSCs into OLs. Recent studies have shown that this process is regulated by a variety of genes. MicroRNAs， as important regulators of neurodegenerative diseases， form a complex regulatory network in the process of myelin regeneration. This review summarizes the main molecular pathways of myelin regeneration and microRNAs involved in this process and classifies the mechanisms and targets. This review is expected to provide a theoretical reference for the future research on the treatment of demyelinating diseases by targeting the regulation of microRNAs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Jiaohong pills （JHP） and its prescription， Pericarpium Zanthoxyli （PZ） and Rehmanniae Radix （RR） cognitive dysfunction in scopolamine-induced Alzheimer's disease （AD） mice and its mechanism through pharmacodynamic and metabolomics study. MethodThe animal model of AD induced by scopolamine was established and treated with PZ， RG and JHP， respectively. The effects of JHP and its formulations were investigated by open field test， water maze test， object recognition test， avoidance test， cholinergic system and oxidative stress related biochemical test. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of cerebral cortex was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-Quadrupole/Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. ResultThe behavioral data showed that， compared with the model group， the discrimination indexes of the high dose of JHP， PZ and RR groups was significantly increased （P<0.05）. The staging rate of Morris water maze test in the PZ， RR， high and low dose groups of JHP was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， the crossing numbers in the PZ， JHP high and low dose groups were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）； the number of errors in the avoidance test were significantly reduced in the PZ and high-dose JHP groups （P<0.01）， and the error latencies were significantly increased in the JHP and its prescription drug groups （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the activities of acetylcholinesterase in the cerebral cortex of the two doses of JHP group and the PZ group were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the high-dose JHP group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the level of acetylcholine was significantly increased （P<0.01）. At the same time， the contents of malondialdehyde in the serum of the two dose groups of JHP decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of metabolomics study of cerebral cortex showed that 149 differential metabolites were identified between the JHP group and the model group， which were involved in neurotransmitter metabolism， energy metabolism， oxidative stress and amino acid metabolism. ConclusionJHP and its prescription can antagonize scopolamine-induced cognitive dysfunction， regulate cholinergic system， and reduce oxidative stress damage. The mechanism of its therapeutic effect on AD is related to the regulation of neurotransmitter， energy， amino acid metabolism， and improvement of oxidative stress.

Dementia in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） mainly presents amnesia and dullness. Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia belong to the category of dementia in TCM. These progressive neurological diseases have a complex etiology and a long course， and the drugs that can reverse the disease course remain to be developed. Therefore， early intervention plays a vital role in delaying the disease progression. Apathy refers to a lack of motivation that leads to the attenuation or disappearance of goal-directed behaviors， cognitive functions， and emotional responses. Clinical studies have suggested that apathy exists in the early stage of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases， being one of the key symptoms to the early diagnosis of dementia. The severity of apathy is related to the severity of dementia. Therefore， early diagnosis and treatment of apathy are of great significance to the prevention and treatment of dementia. The preclinical research on apathy in dementia is still in its infancy， and the systematic evaluation method has not been prescribed. The clinical diagnosis and treatment are also in the exploratory stage， and the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of apathy and dementia development have not been fully elucidated. This article reviews the research progress of apathy in dementia， the apathetic behaviors of dementia animal models， the behaviors of patients with apathy， and the treatment methods in recent years and summarizes the research status of apathy in dementia. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for exploring the behavior of apathy in dementia and conducting preclinical research and evaluation of the pathogenesis and to lay a foundation for the treatment of apathy in dementia.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has a long history of application in China and has consistently played a vital role in treating diseases and saving lives. TCM prescriptions （compounds） constitute the primary form of clinical TCM treatment and significantly differ from western medicine （chemicals） due to the diverse composition and chemical constituents of TCM （compounds）. Nevertheless， the potential multi-component， multi-target， and multi-pathway action characteristics of TCM prescriptions also demonstrate their possible （complementary） therapeutic advantages when compared with single-component chemical drugs. Therefore， driven by the development of modern science and technology and the demands of the modernization and internationalization of TCM， modern theories regarding the complexity of TCM prescription effects have been continuously proposed： Different from the abstract language of traditional prescription theory， the modern TCM prescription theory is more inclined to illustrate the connotation of prescription compatibility concretely and vividly from an experimental and scientific perspective. In this paper， new theories on the complexity of TCM prescriptions proposed in recent years are summarized to provide research references and ideas for the greater role of TCM prescriptions and a better scientific understanding.

BACKGROUND:At present,the treatment of infected bone defects has the problems of long course of disease,poor treatment effect and high cost.The osteogenic effect of personalized bone replacement materials in clinical treatment is limited.Therefore,a 3D-printed bone graft material with both good osteogenic effect and antibacterial effect is urgently needed for clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research status of 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infected bone defects. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,Elsevier,and CNKI databases from January 2010 to June 2022 were searched for related articles.The Chinese search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold material,antibacterial,animal experiments,in vitro experiments".English search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold,antibiosis,animal experiment,in vitro".Finally,60 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The 3D scaffolds made of titanium,magnesium,tantalum and other metals and their alloys have certain osteogenic properties,but do not have antibacterial function.Hydroxyapatite and other bioceramic materials have good biocompatibility and are prone to be degraded,whereas due to the lack of strength,they are usually combined with artificial polymer materials to form composite materials,which respectively mimic the inorganic and organic components in natural bone,and play their respective excellent functions.Antibiotics,silver/copper nanoparticles,antimicrobial peptides,gallium and other antibacterial agents play an antibacterial role by destroying bacterial cell membrane,producing reactive oxygen species to interfere with bacterial DNA replication,inhibiting iron absorption and other mechanisms.As a result,the 3D-printed scaffold has both antibacterial and osteogenic effects.However,there are still some problems such as drug resistance and difficult to control effective concentrations.3D-printed scaffolds are often loaded with antibacterial agents by loading drug-loaded microspheres on scaffolds,preparing antibacterial coating on the scaffold surface,and participating in joint 3D printing with drugs.The loading mode of antibacterial coating prepared on the scaffold surface is the most widely used,and its antibacterial effect is more stable.Nonetheless,the selection of the most suitable loading mode for antibacterial agents needs to be further discussed and summarized.It is a future research prospect to optimize the mechanical properties of composite scaffolds and prepare biomimetic bone scaffolds so that the degradation rate is consistent with the bone reconstruction rate in infected bone defects.The ideal antibacterial agents may play a role through a variety of antibacterial mechanisms,thus being expected to play a good antibacterial effect through low antibacterial concentration,which should be a hot spot of anti-bone infection research.After loading antibacterial agents on the surface of the scaffold,antibacterial agents can"intelligently"react to the local microenvironment,achieving controlled release,and regulating the osteogenesis,vascularization and immune response of the microenvironment,which is the focus of current research.

In order to understand the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of vaccination against influenza, pneumonia, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes zoster (HZ), COVID-19, and hepatitis B among staff of vaccination units in Shandong Province, a sample survey was conducted among 797 staffs of adult vaccination units in 12 counties (cities and districts) of Shandong Province from August to September 2022. The results showed that the respondents had the highest total score of knowledge and attitude for the COVID-19 vaccine, with the M ( Q1, Q3) of 23 (20, 25) and 10 (10, 10), respectively, and had the lowest score of knowledge and attitude for the herpes zoster vaccine, with the M ( Q1, Q3) of 19 (15, 22) and 8 (8, 10), respectively. The vaccine-related knowledge point"vaccine applicable population"had the highest score, with the M (Q1, Q3) of 26 (23, 30). The "contraindications/adverse reactions" and "adverse reaction management" had the lowest score, with the M (Q1, Q3) of 24 (20, 29) and 24 (20, 28), respectively. About 89.71% of respondents received one adult vaccine within two years at least. The principal driver for vaccination of 53.58% of recipients was their understanding of vaccines, which was"it was necessary to receive the vaccine". About 66.00% of respondents who had not received any adult vaccine in the past two years had insufficient awareness of the necessity of vaccination and believed that they were in good health and did not need to receive it. In summary, the staff of adult vaccination units in Shandong Province have a poor understanding of the herpes zoster vaccine in terms of vaccines and a relatively poor understanding of"contraindications/adverse reaction and management"in adult vaccination knowledge points.

[Purpose]To analyze the compliance rates and influencing factors for gastroscopy and colonoscopy in gastrointestinal cancer screening,and to provide evidence and management recom-mendations for gastrointestinal cancer screening programs.[Methods]The study was based on the joint gastrointestinal cancer screening program conducted in Fenghua District of Ningbo City in 2023.The target population underwent risk assessments,following which high-risk individuals were mobilized for gastroscopy and colonoscopy screenings.The x2 test was used to compare the positive rates of gastrointestinal cancer risk assessments and the compliance rates of clinical screenings among populations with different characteristics.Multivariable Logistic regression models were applied to analyze the factors associated with compliance rates of clinical gastroscopy and colonoscopy screenings among high-risk individuals.[Results]A total of 48 587 individuals were included in the analysis,with an average age of(63.95±7.48)years old.Among them,39.45％(19 166 individuals)were male.The positive rates of risk assessment for upper gastrointestinal cancer and colorectal cancer were 39.00％(18 949 individuals)and 16.02％(7 782 individuals),respectively.The compliance rates for gastroscopy and colonoscopy were 59.51％(11 227/18 949)and 50.85％(3 957/7 782),respectively.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that unmarried in-dividuals and those with an assessment interval of more than 14 d had lower compliance with gas-troscopy(both P＜0.05).High-risk individuals for upper gastrointestinal cancer with BMI≥24 kg/m2,gastrointestinal symptoms,history of upper gastrointestinal diseases,family history of cancers,history of gastroscopy,lower intake of fresh vegetables and fruits,and higher intake of processed meats had higher compliance with gastroscopy(all P＜0.05).High educational levels and an assess-ment interval of more than 14 d were associated with lower compliance with colonoscopy(both P＜0.05).Among individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer,those with gastrointestinal symptoms,history of upper gastrointestinal diseases,higher intake of processed meats and fried or grilled foods,and a positive risk assessment for upper gastrointestinal cancer had higher compliance with colonoscopy(all P＜0.05).[Conclusion]Participants in the joint gastrointestinal cancer screening program exhibit high compliance with both gastroscopy and colonoscopy.Compliance with gas-troscopy and colonoscopy is associated with individual lifestyle,health conditions,disease history,medical history,and family history of cancers.

Objective:To explore the impact of unidentified injectable fillers on the soft tissue of nasal dorsum and rhinoplasty.Methods:The Plastic Surgery Information System of Xinhua Hospital Affiliated with Dalian University was utilized to conduct an analysis of 62 rhinoplasty patients between 2018 and 2019. Specifically, this included 28 patients with an unidentified history of injectable filler rhinoplasty, encompassing 1 male and 27 females with ages ranging from 19 to 53 years and a mean age of 28.8 years. Additionally, 34 patients underwent primary rhinoplasty, all of whom were female with ages ranging from 19 to 46 years and a mean age of 26.8 years. This study examined the effects of unidentified injectable fillers on the soft tissue of the nasal dorsum by analyzing the excised nasal dorsum under a microscope. Subsequently, statistical methods were performed to assess differences in gender, age, preoperative tip protrusion/nose length, postoperative tip protrusion/nose length, dorsal augmentation modality, and satisfaction, and to investigate the effect of unidentified injectables on the rate of dissatisfaction after rhinoplasty.Results:The histopathological analysis of unidentified injectable fillers removed from the nasal dorsum revealed the presence of mainly gel and granular fillers. The gel fillers, characterized by its pink jelly-like texture, contained unidentified injectable fillers, colorless glue, and were observed to flow out upon cutting. The granular filler, on the other hand, appeared as tough, irregularly shaped tissue similar to caviar. Additionally, evidence of muscle tissue in 5 pathologic sections indicated that the unidentified injectable fillers were injected into or near the dorsal nasal muscles, leading to varying degrees of muscle injuries upon excision. A comparison of 28 rhinoplasty patients with unidentified injectable fillers for nasal dorsal augmentation and 34 patients with primary rhinoplasty showed that 11 females in the former group and 4 females in the latter group were dissatisfied with the results. Statistical analysis demonstrated no significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender ( P=0.452), age ( P=0.219), preoperative tip projection/nasal length ( P=0.681), postoperative tip projection/nasal length ( P=0.105), and nasal dorsum augmentation methods ( P=0.413). However, the initial rhinoplasty group had a lower dissatisfactory rate (4 cases, 11.76%) and the unidentified injectables group had a higher dissatisfactory rate (11 cases, 39.29%), which was statistically significant between the two groups (χ 2=6.341, P=0.012). Conclusions:The presence of unidentified nasal injectable fillers can significantly decrease postoperative satisfactory rates, increase the incidence of dissatisfaction, and have adverse effects on the soft tissues of the nasal dorsum and the overall outcome of the rhinoplasty procedure.
