Objective To investigate the clinical and MRI imaging features of ovarian endometrioid adenofibroma and to analyze its pathological features in order to promote the diagnostic and differential diagnostic ability.Methods The clinical and MRI imaging features of 5 cases of ovarian endometrioid adenofibroma confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 5 patients,2 were diagnosed with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding,while the other 3 cases were incidental findings with no obvious clinical discomfort.One patient had elevated estrogen level,but the remaining patients showed no obvious abnormalities in laboratory examinations.All the lesions in 5 patients were cystic-solid masses,MRI showed mixed iso-and hypointensity on T1 WI,and slightly hyperintensity and hypointensity of solid components on T2WI.The solid components showed scattered cystic foci with smooth cyst walls and partial septa.The signal in the capsule was homogeneous.Diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)showed slightly hyperintensity and hypointensity.Contrast-enhanced scans showed gradual enhancement in the solid part of the massed with no enhancement in the cystic areas.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of ovarian endometrioid adenofibroma are non-specific,but MRI manifestations are specific to some extent.The final diagnosis depends on pathological diagnosis.

Objective:Exploring the safety and efficacy of intermittent theta rhythm stimulation on cortical excitability and upper limb motor function in patients with stroke at recovery stage.Method:From January,2022 to April 2023,30 patients with stroke at recovery stage who received rehabilita-tion treatment were randomly divided into the experimental group(n=15)and the control group(n=15)using the random number method.Both groups were subjected to routine rehabilitation training.The experimental group was given additional intermittent theta rhythm stimulation on the basis of routine rehabilitation,and the control group added intermittent theta rhythm sham stimulation,5 times a week for 4 weeks.Neurophysiologic indexes were tested on both the healthy and affected sides of the patients in the 2 groups before and after the intervention,as well as the assessment of upper limb motor function.Result:After 4 weeks of intervention,there were no statistical differences in MEP maximum wave ampli-tude,MEP latency,CMCT value,CSP value and RMT value of the healthy side between before and after in-tervention and between the groups(P>0.05);MEP maximum wave amplitude of the affected side of the experi-mental group was higher than before intervention(P<0.05);the affected side of the experimental group had a low-er MEP latency,CSP value,and RMT value than before intervention and the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Fugl-Meyer upper limb function scores,MBI scores,grip strength on the affected side,and nine-hole post time spent in the experimental group improved after the intervention compared to before the intervention(P<0.01,P<0.05).Fugl-Meyer upper extremity function scores,MBI scores,and time spent on the affected side of the nine-hole column improved in the experimental group after the intervention compared to the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion:Intermittent theta rhythm stimulation combined with conventional rehabilitation training did not show significant effects on the cortical excitability of the healthy side of patients with stroke at recovery stage.However,it could improve the cortical excitability of the affected side of patients with stroke at recovery stage and improve the motor function of the upper limbs.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of Tiaoshen Guben holistic therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion (holistic treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion by adjusting the mind and consolidating the root) on comorbidity of depression and insomnia. METHODS: Twenty-four patients with comorbidity of depression and insomnia were included and treated with Tiaoshen Guben holistic therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture was applied to Baihui (GV20), Guanyuan (CV4), bilateral Neiguan (PC6), etc. The refined moxibustion therapy was delivered at Zhongwan (CV12), Qihai (CV6), bilateral Yongquan (KI1), etc. Subcutaneous embedding therapy with thumb-tack needle was adopted at bilateral Xinshu (BL15), bilateral Pishu (BL20), etc. The intervention was operated once every other day, 3 treatments a week, and for 6 consecutive weeks. Before and after treatment completion, and in 1 month after treatment, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Hamilton's depression scale (HAMD-17) were adopted to assess sleep quality and depression symptoms in the patients, respectively. Before and after treatment completion, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the functional connectivity (FC) of locus coeruleus (LC) in brain regions was evaluated; and the levels of serum norepinephrine (NE), cortisol (CORT), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with the scores before treatment, PSQI and HAMD-17 scores after treatment completion and in 1 month after treatment were reduced (P<0.01); and strengthened FC was revealed between the right LC and the pars opercularis of the left inferior frontal gyrus, as well as the lateral occipital lobe region. After treatment completion, serum NE was elevated (P<0.01), the levels of CORT, ACTH and CRH were reduced (P<0.01). Before and after treatment completion, the difference in FC between the right LC and the pars opercularis of the left inferior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with the differences in PSQI score (r = -0.484, P = 0.016) and HAMD-17 score (r = -0.233, P = 0.027). CONCLUSION Tiaoshen Guben holistic therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively alleviate depression symptoms and improve sleep quality in the patients with comorbidity of depression and insomnia, which is obtained probably through reducing the levels of serum CORT, ACTH and CRH, increasing serum NE, strengthening the FC of the right LC with the pars opercularis of the left inferior frontal gyrus and the lateral occipital lobe region.

Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.

Objective:To characterize fine motor function in middle-aged and elderly individuals utilizing a novel wearable inertial motion capture device.Additionally, it seeks to investigate the relationship between fine motor deficits and overall cognitive function, as well as various cognitive dimensions.Methods:Participants aged 50 years and older were recruited between November 2022 and April 2023.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was employed to evaluate the cognitive function of the subjects, and a radar chart was utilized to illustrate the extent of impairment across different cognitive dimensions.An independent computerized fine motor evaluation system was developed using the motion capture technology of a novel wearable microelectromechanical system(MEMS)inertial sensor, enabling a quantitative assessment of fine motor skills.The differences in fine motor function characteristics between the two groups were compared.Spearman's correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to examine the relationship between fine motor deficits and cognitive dysfunction.Results:A total of 289 participants were recruited, among whom 140(48.4%)were classified into the cognitive impairment group.The mean MoCA scores for the cognitive impairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group were 22.2 ± 2.79 and 27.7 ± 1.19, respectively( P<0.001).The electronic assessment of fine motor function revealed that the motion parameters of hand function in the cognitive impairment group were significantly poorer across all three numerical evaluation tasks.Spearman's correlation analysis demonstrated a robust correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction.Furthermore, in the multiple logistic regression model, after adjusting for potential confounding factors including age, gender, and education level, a significant association between cognitive dysfunction and fine motor dysfunction persisted. Conclusions:A novel wearable motion capture technology was employed to facilitate the digital assessment of fine motor function.The findings revealed a significant correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective:To use structural equation modeling to identify the indicator variables of intrinsic ability vitality among the elderly population.Methods:The study collected data on seven variables commonly used to measure vitality and mobility, including body mass index, weight loss, calf circumference, grip strength, gait speed at 4 m, up and go, and up and sit, from the comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA)of patients admitted to the Department of Geriatrics of Beijing Hospital between May 2020 and May 2022.The study used a structural equation model to explore and verify the indicator variables of activity, utilizing exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation analysis.Results:The study conducted an exploratory factor analysis on seven variables, which resulted in two latent variables named vitality and locomotion.Body mass index, weight loss, and calf circumference were found to reflect vitality, while grip strength, 4 m-walking speed, time up and go test, and standing up and down test were found to reflect locomotion.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the measurement model was well-constructed and the indicator variables of vitality and locomotion were reasonably assigned[ χ2/ df=35/13, CFI=0.96, RMSEA(95% CI)=0.06(0.04, 0.08)].Correlation analysis showed that grip strength had a stronger correlation with locomotion-related variables than vitality-related variables( for grip strength and locomotion=0.33, for grip strength and vitality=0.21). Conclusions:The intrinsic ability and vitality of elderly individuals can be assessed through various means, including body mass index, weight loss, and calf circumference.However, grip strength is considered a more appropriate measure for reflecting locomotion rather than overall vitality.
