ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the Wenyang Jieyu prescription in regulating depression-like behavior in mice after maternal-infant separation combined with secondary stress. MethodsAfter birth， the rats were randomly divided into blank （NC） group， maternal-infant separation （MS） group， restraint stress （RS） group， maternal-infant separation combined with restraint stress （MRS） group， Wenyang group， Jieyu group， Wenyang Jieyu （XSF） group， and minocycline group. Maternal-infant separation was performed on day 5 （PD5）， followed by weaning at PD21 and prophylactic administration. The dose of Wenyang group， Xiaoyao group， XSF group and minocycline group were 5.85， 12.03， 16.71 g·kg^-1 and 50 mg·kg^-1， respectively. Restraint stress was applied on PD90. The model was evaluated using glucose， social interaction， open field， and O-maze behavior tests， as well as high-performance liquid chromatography to measure serotonin， dopamine， and other neurotransmitters. The expression level of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 （Iba-1） protein， a marker of hippocampal microglia， was detected by immunohistochemistry. Protein expression levels of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2） and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in the hippocampus were analyzed by an automatic protein expression analysis system. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels of M1 markers， JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related genes， and cytokines in hippocampal microglia in each group. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the MRS group exhibited depression-like behavior， with significantly decreased levels of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased expression of Iba-1 （P<0.01）， and elevated protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P<0.05）. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， IL-1β， JAK2， and STAT3 were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the MRS group， the XSF and minocycline groups showed some improvement in depression-like behavior. In these groups， the hippocampal neurotransmitter content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and Iba-1 expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 in the XSF group showed a downward trend. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， JAK2， STAT3， and IL-1β in the hippocampus were significantly decreased in the XSF and minocycline groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWenyang Jieyu prescription can regulate depression-like behavior in maternal-infant separation mice combined with secondary stress by inhibiting the polarization of hippocampal microglia to the M1 phenotype. The regulation of hippocampal microglia polarization by Wenyang Jieyu prescription may be associated with the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the repair effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)on interferon gamma(IFN-γ)induced ovarian granulosa cell immune injury.Methods:A model of IFN-γ-induced ovarian granulosa cell immune injury was estab-lished.KGN cells after modeling were co-cultured with human BMSCs(hBMSCs)and divided into three groups:negative control(NC)group,IFN-γ group,and BMSC group.After co-culture,cell proliferation was determined by a cell counting kit 8 assay for 3 consecu-tive days.Cell apoptosis was determined using an Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit and a CytoFLEX flow cytometer.The estra-diol level and the mRNA expression levels of aromatase CYP19A1 and FSHR were measured to evaluate the hormone synthesis ability.The level of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,caspase-1(CASP1),and interleukin-1β,and protein expression levels of NLRP3,CASP1,and gasdermin-D were determined to evaluate cell pyroptosis.Results:The proliferation rate of granulosa cells in the IFN-γ group and the BMSC group was lower than that in the NC group at 24 h,48 h and 72 h,and that in the IFN-γ group was lower than that in the BMSC group(P<0.001).The number of apoptotic granulosa cells in the INF-γ group and the BMSC group was higher than that in the NC group,and that in the INF-γ group was higher than that in the BMSC group(P<0.001).The estradiol level in the INF-γ group and the BMSC group was lower than that in the NC group,and that in the INF-γ group was lower than that in the BMSC group(P<0.001).Compared with the IFN-γ group,the mRNA expression of CYP19A1 and FSHR in the BMSC group decreased(P<0.001).Compared with the IFN-γ group,the BMSC group had significantly decreased LDH level,mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 and CASP1,and protein expres-sion level of CASP1.Conclusion:hBMSCs repair the immune in-jury of KGN cells induced by IFN-γ by restoring cell proliferation,inhibiting cell apoptosis,repairing endocrine function,and reducing pyroptosis.

Objective To predict the lymphovascular invasion(LVI)status of breast cancer patients based on digital breast tomo-synthesis(DBT)intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics nomogram.Methods A total of 192 breast cancer patients from 2 institu-tions were retrospectively selected,in which institution 1 was used for train(n=113)and test(n=49),while institution 2 was used for external validation(n=30).Radiomics features were extracted and selected based on intratumoral and peritumoral 1 mm regions from DBT images.Different machine learning algorithms were used to construct intratumoral,peritumoral,and combined intratumoral and peritumoral models,respectively.Patient clinical data were analyzed by both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analy-ses to identify independent risk factors for the clinical imaging model.The performance of the models was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The radiomics features with the optimal diagnostic performance and the selected clinical imaging features were combined to construct a comprehensive clinical-radiomics model,and a nomogram was drawn.Results The combined intratumoral and peritumoral model was the optimal radiomics model.Maximum tumor diameter[odds ratio(OR)=1.486,P=0.014],suspicious malignant calcifications(OR=2.898,P=0.015),and axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis(OR=3.615,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for LVI positive.Furthermore,the area under the curve(AUC)of the comprehensive clinical-radiomics model in the training set,test set and external valida-tion set was 0.889,0.916,and 0.862,respectively,which was higher than those of the combined intratumoral and peritumoral model(0.858,0.849,0.844)and the clinical imaging model(0.743,0.759,0.732).Conclusion The predictive nomogram,derived from both radiomics and clinical imaging features,is relatively accurate in identifying future LVI occurrence in breast cancer,demonstra-ting its potential as an assistive tool for clinicians to devise individualized treatment regimes.

Objective Exploring the clinical diagnosis and treatment status of epilepsy patients at the epilepsy specialty clinic in a single-center comprehensive hospital in the Lhasa area of the Tibetan Plateau.Methods Epilepsy patients who visited the epilepsy specialty clinic of the Department of Neurology at the Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital from September 2021 to June 2023 were continuously enrolled.Data such as clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment conditions of the enrolled patients was analyzed.Results A total of 121 patients were enrolled in this study,with 33.9%(41/121 cases)being new patients at our hospital and 6.6%(8/121 cases)being referred to our hospital.Non-adherence to treatment,with patients self-reducing or stopping medication without medical advice,accounted for 8.3%(10/121 cases)of the cases.The majority of epilepsy patients were in the young and middle-aged group,with 51.2%(62/121 cases)being between 18 and 44 years old.There were significant differences in the distribution of epilepsy patients across different age groups(P<0.001),while there was no significant difference in gender distribution(49.6%male vs.50.4%female,P>0.05).Generalized seizures were the predominant type of seizure(75.2%,91/121 cases),and 73.6%(89/121 cases)of the patients had an unknown etiology for their epilepsy,with symptomatic epilepsy accounting for 26.4%(32/121 cases)and structural causes being the most common at 24.8%(30/121 cases).Monotherapy was the main treatment for epilepsy(55.4%,67/121 cases),with sodium valproate being the most frequently prescribed drug for monotherapy at 22.3%(27/121 cases).Conclusion In the epilepsy specialty clinic in the plateau region,newly diagnosed patients account for about one-third,and over one-tenth of revisiting patients have not been receiving standardized treatment.The majority of our epilepsy patients are young to middle-aged adults.Generalized seizures are the predominant type.The etiology is unknown in the majority of cases,with structural causes being a common etiology in symptomatic epilepsy.Sodium valproate is the most frequently used antiseizure medication(ASM)in monotherapy in the plateau area.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic value of systemic inflammatory score (SIS) in patients with unresectable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated by definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) combined with or without consolidation immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI).Methods:The medical record data of 229 patients who received dCRT from January 2014 to December 2017 and 183 patients who received dCRT combined with any form of ICI (induction, concurrent, consolidation or combination) from August 2018 to August 2022 in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were retrospectively analyzed. Upon admission, 1 and 3 months after treatment (efficacy evaluation) and upon tumor recurrence, peripheral blood count was collected, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and SIS were calculated, respectively. The SIS before, 1 and 3 months after treatment was defined as SIS 0, SIS 1 and SIS 3, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was considered as the primary endpoint. All patients were divided into dCRT group and dCRT+ICI group according to whether received immunotherapy, and then divided into different subgroups based on the cutoff value of SIS determined by X-Tile software. The prognostic value of SIS was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive efficiency. The predictive value of SIS was compared with inflammatory indexes (NLR, PLR) and independent prognostic factors. Results:In the dCRT group, the optimal cutoff value of SIS 0 was 590×10 9 and 530×10 9 in the dCRT+ICIs group. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that SIS 0 was an independent predictive factor of OS, progression - free survival (PFS), local - recurrence free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) in the dCRT group, but not associated with DMFS in the dCRT+ICI group. In the dCRT group, SIS 1>970×10 9 (optimal cutoff value) predicted poor OS ( HR=2.512, 95% CI=1.622-3.198, P<0.001), PFS ( HR=1.726, 95% CI=1.187-2.509, P=0.004), and DMFS ( HR=1.625, 95% CI=1.029-2.564, P=0.037). In the dCRT+ICI group, SIS 3>1570×10 9 (optimal cutoff value) indicated poor OS ( HR=5.107, 95% CI=1.731-15.069, P=0.003). In both groups, the AUC of SIS was higher than NLR, PLR and other traditional clinicopathological predictive indexes except T stage. Conclusions:SIS before treatment can be considered as an independent, dependable and easily acquired prognostic marker in patients with unresectable stage Ⅲ NSCLC treated by dCRT or dCRT+ICI. In the dCRT+ICI group, the optimal time point of post-radiotherapy SIS (3 months after treatment) is postponed than that (1 month after treatment) in the dCRT group.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Nuan'gong decoction in the treatment of cold coagulation and blood stasis type menorrhagia.Methods A total of 120 patients with oligomenorrhea were selected and divided into two groups according to random number table method:estrogen and progesterone group and Nuan'gong decoction.The estrogen and progesterone group was treated with se-quential estrogen and progesterone therapy,while the Nuan'gong decoction group was treated with Nuan'gong decoction on the top of the estrogen and progesterone group.The therapeutic effects,menstrual status,and changes in uterine artery blood flow were compared be-tween the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the Nuan'gong decoction group was 91.67％,which was greatly higher than the 76.67％of the estrogen and progesterone group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score and men-strual distress questionnaire(MDQ)Chinese version score of the Nuan'gong decoction group were lower than those of the estrogen and progesterone group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the duration of menstruation in the Nuan'gong decoction group was longer than that in the estrogen and progesterone group(P＜0.05),and the pictorial blood loss assessment chart(PBAC)score was higher than that in the estrogen and progesterone group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the levels of progesterone(P),estradiol(E2),luteinizing hormone(LH),and follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)in the Nuan'gong decoction group were higher than those in the estrogen and progesterone group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the uterine artery pulsatility index(PI),resistance index(BI)and systolic/diastolic peak flow ve-locity(S/D)in the Nuan'gong decoction group were lower than those in the estrogen and progesterone group.Conclusion For patients with cold coagulation and blood stasis type oligomenorrhea,Nuan'gong decoction for traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment can achieve great therapeutic effects,effectively prolong the duration of menstruation,restore menstrual flow and sex hormone levels,and improve the blood flow parameters of uterine artery.

Objective To provide basis for the formation of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD-STES),the item weight of the syndrome therapeutic evaluation scale for AECOPD-STES was determined.Methods Based on the clinical survey data of 387 AECOPD patients,the random forest method was adopted,and the Spyder integrated development environment.Anaconda navigator software was used to call the"random forest Classifier"in the sklearn package to establish the initial random forest model and calculate the item weights.Factor analysis was used to extract common factors with cumulative variance contribution>80%,and the item weight was calculated according to the cumulative variance contribution and component score coefficient of common factors.The percentage weight method was used to calculate the item weight based on the importance score of each item by 29 experts.Finally,40%,30%and 30%of the above three methods were given respectively to determine the final weight of the items.Results The random forest method showed that the weights of wind cold syndrome,cold Yin syndrome,phlegm heat syndrome,phlegm dampness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome were 0.014-0.170,0.076-0.194,0.017-0.183,0.010-0.183 and 0.069-0.298,respectively.Factor analysis showed that the weights of wind cold syndrome,cold yin Syndrome,phlegm heat syndrome,phlegm dampness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome were 0.030-0.111,0.100-0.182,0.037-0.095,0.022-0.141 and 0.054-0.185,respectively.The percentage weight method shows that the weight ranges of wind cold syndrome,cold yin Syndrome,phlegm heat syndrome,phlegm dampness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome were 0.072-0.102,0.146-0.182,0.057-0.077,0.075-0.111 and 0.115-0.185,respectively.According to the three methods,the weights of wind cold syndrome,cold yin Syndrome,phlegm heat syndrome,phlegm dampness syndrome and blood stasis syndrome were 0.050-0.121,0.117-0.174,0.040-0.117,0.056-0.130 and 0.092-0.188,respectively.Conclusion This study determined the weight of each item of AECOPD-STES,providing a basis for the calculation of syndrome score.

Objective:To integrate the symptom management experiences of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), so as to provide a basis for developing symptom management measures.Methods:Qualitative or mixed studies on the symptom management experience of ADHF patients included from establishment of the database to September 2024, were electronically retrieved in PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, EBSCO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biomedical Database and other Chinese and English databases and gray literature databases. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme developed by the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine at the University of Oxford. The results were synthesized through the aggregative integration method.Results:A total of 14 papers were included. Thirty-four findings were distilled into eight categories and three integrative findings, namely, the multiple challenges posed by symptoms (complex and multiple symptomatic somatic experiences, symptom-induced mood changes, and reduced family and social engagement), the unmet needs of patients (insufficient healthcare resources, insufficient supply of discharge services provided by healthcare organizations, and lack of knowledge), and the co-existence of positive and negative coping styles (negative coping styles in symptomatic distress, positive debugging and diversified coping in symptomatic distress) .Conclusions:ADHF symptoms severely affect patients' physical, psychological, and social function. Healthcare professionals should focus on the unmet needs of patients with ADHF and explore patient-engaged models of active symptom management.
