Objective:To explore the correlation between high cholinergic pathway signaling and cognitive function in patients with Parkinson disease(PD) accompanied with sleep disorder.Methods:PD patients admitted from 2017 to 2022 were divided into PD with sleep disorder group (PD-SD group) ( n=56) and PD without sleep disorder group (PD-NSD group) ( n=41) according to the Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) score. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging examination.All patients were evaluated by the PDSS, Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y), Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), and cholinergic pathways hyper intensities scale (CHIPS). The difference of cognitive function between the two groups and the correlation between CHIPS and cognitive function were analyzed.Independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and binary Logistic regression analysis were performed on the data by SPSS 26.0 statistical software. Results:(1)The MoCA score of the PD-SD group (22.00 (5.00)) was lower than that of the PD-NSD group (26.00 (5.00)) ( Z=-3.830, P<0.05). The total and all aspects scores of CHIPS in PD-SD group were higher than those in PD-NSD group(the total score of the low external capsule: 12.00(8.00), 0(8.00), the total score of the high external capsule: 12.00(2.00), 6.00(9.00), the total score of the radial crown: 8.00(0), 4.00(4.00), the total score of the centrum semiovale: 3.00(4.00), 0(2.00), the total score of the right side: 16.00(9.00), 5.00(10.00), the total score of the left side: 17.00(6.00), 7.00(9.00), the total score of CHIPS: 32.00(14.00), 14.00(20.00))( Z=-5.081, -5.873, -4.933, -3.211, -5.562, -6.232, -5.995, all P<0.05). (2)The correlation analysis between the score of CHIPS and cognitive function in the PD-SD group showed that, the total score of the low external capsule ( r=-0.286), the total score of the centrum semiovale ( r=-0.307), the total score of the right side ( r=-0.376), the total score of the left side ( r=-0.284) and the total score of CHIPS ( r=-0.349) were negatively correlated with MoCA(all P<0.05). (3)Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that white matter lesions in centrum semiovale, low inner capsule, right and left leukodystrophy were not influence factors for cognitive impairment (all P>0.05). Conclusion:PD patients with sleep disorders have lower cognitive function scores, higher CHIPS scores, and significant changes in white matter lesions compared to those without sleep disorders. In PD patients with sleep disorders, the higher the CHIPS score, the lower the cognitive function score, and the more significant the rate of cognitive impairment occurrence and development.

【Objective】 To investigate the expressions of containing CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain gene 6 (CMTM6) and ras protein activator like 2 (RASAL2) in prostate cancer tissues, and to analyze the relationships between the above factors and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of prostate cancer patients. 【Methods】 The prostate cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 80 prostate cancer patients admitted to Zhumadian City Center Hospital during Feb.2018 and Feb.2020 were collected.Expressions of CMTM6 and RASAL2 were detected with immunohistochemical method.The relationship between the expressions of CMTM6 and RASAL2 and the clinical pathological characteristics of prostate cancer were analyzed.The survival curve was plotted with Kaplan-Meier method.The prognostic factors were analyzed with multivariate Cox regression. 【Results】 The positive expression rate of CMTM6 in prostate cancer tissues was 67.50%, which was obviously higher than 38.75% in adjacent tissues (χ²=13.277, P<0.001).The positive expression rate of RASAL2 in prostate cancer tissues was 47.50%, which was obviously lower than 73.75% in adjacent tissues (χ²=11.546, P=0.001).The expressions of CMTM6 and RASAL2 were not related to patients’ age, tumor size and tissue differentiation (P>0.05), but to TNM staging, Gleason score, lymph node metastasis and preoperative PSA level (P<0.05).Survival curve showed that the 3-year survival rate of positive CMTM6 expression patients was 61.11% (33/54), which was obviously lower than that of negative patients, which was 88.46% (23/26) (χ²=5.940, P=0.015).The 3-year survival rate of positive RASAL2 expression patients was 81.85% (31/38), which was obviously higher than that of negative patients, which was 59.52% (25/42) (χ²=4.887, P=0.027).Cox multivariate regression showed that Gleason score, lymph node metastasis, preoperative PSA level, CMTM6, and RASAL2 were independent influencing factors of prognosis (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The positive expression rate of CMTM6 in prostate cancer tissues is significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, while the positive expression rate of RASAL2 in prostate cancer tissues is significantly lower than that in paracancer tissues. Both CMTM6 and RASAL2 are closely related to the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of prostate cancer patients, and may provide reference for the prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of ultrasonography combined with serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in preoperative N staging and therapeutic effect evaluation in patients with thyroid cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 125 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy at The 903 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force between January 2016 and December 2021. Based on the pathological results, the patients were divided into stages N0, N1a, and N1b. Consistency testing was performed to assess the consistency between ultrasonographic and pathological findings. The serological markers were compared between stage N0 and stage N1. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the correlation between antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and Tg and lymph node metastasis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum Tg, ultrasonography, and the combination of serum Tg with ultrasonography for lymph node metastasis.Results:Among the 125 patients, 51 cases were diagnosed with stage N1, including 36 cases of stage N1a and 15 cases of stage N1b. The pathological examination confirmed stage N0 in 74 cases. Ultrasonography results showed stage N0 in 96 cases, stage N1a in 7 cases, and stage N1b in 22 cases. The preoperative N staging of thyroid cancer patients by ultrasonography was moderately consistent with the pathological staging ( Kappa = 0.44, P < 0.001). Serum free triiodothyronine and Tg levels were higher in stage N1 compared with stage N0 ( P < 0.001), while serum TPOAb levels were lower in stage N1 than in stage N0 ( P = 0.017). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with lymph node metastasis as the dependent variable and the factors FT3, TPOAb, and Tg levels as independent variables. The analysis revealed that Tg was associated with lymph node metastasis ( OR = 1.02, P < 0.001). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve for serum Tg level and ultrasonography for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis were 0.67 and 0.65, respectively, which were significantly lower than the area under the curve (0.76) for the combined detection ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The combined utilization of ultrasonography and serum Tg levels in the preoperative staging of thyroid cancer patients holds distinct clinical relevance. Notably, this combined approach offers a more precise diagnosis of lymph node metastasis compared with ultrasonography alone. Consequently, when making clinical judgments regarding preoperative lymph node metastasis, it is advisable to consider the results of both ultrasonography and serum Tg testing to facilitate surgical planning and evaluate surgical outcomes.

Except for the normal control group, the other groups were respectively prepared for the ethanol model, the APAP model and the CCl 4 model. The mice in the MSE high-, medium- and low-dosage groups were intragastrically administrated with 10, 5 and 2.5 g/kg of MSE, respectively; the bifendate control group was intraperitoneally injected with 15 mg/ml bifendate solution at 75 mg/kg; the normal control group was intraperitoneally injected with equal volume of normal saline/peanut oil solution once a day for 25 consecutive days. The levels of GPT, GOT and total bilirubin (TBIL) in serum were detected; the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and the content of MDA in liver tissue were detected; the mRNA expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were detected by qRT-PCR; the protein expressions of cytochrome P450 CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP3A in liver tissue were detected by Western blot; the pathological changes of the liver tissue were observed by HE staining. Results:Compared with the corresponding ethanol, APAP and CCl 4 model groups, the serum GPT, GOT and TBIL levels of mice in the ethanol+bifendate control group and ethanol+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups, the APAP+bifendate control group and APAP+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups, and the CCl 4+bifendate control group and CCl 4+MSE high- and medium-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the liver tissue increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the MDA level decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the mRNA levels of IL-6 and TNF-α decreased ( P<0.01); the mRNA levels of ADH and ALDH in the ethanol+MSE high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the APAP model group, the expressions of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 in the APAP+MSE groups increased ( P<0.01), and the expression of CYP3A protein decreased ( P<0.05); compared with the CCl 4 model group, the expressions of CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A proteins in the CCl 4+MSE groups decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:MSE has a protective effect on chronic chemically-induced liver injury induced by ethanol, APAP, and CCl 4 in mice, and its mechanism may be related to antioxidant stress, inhibition of inflammatory response, and regulation of the expression of cytochrome P450-related enzymes.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

Objective:To investigate the serum levels of myonectin, corticostatin and Delta like ligand 4 (DLL4) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diabetes retinopathy (DR) and their clinical significance.Methods:A prospective selection of 341 T2DM patients admitted to Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huairou Hospital from May 2020 to March 2022 was conducted. The patients underwent fundus examination and were divided into a non DR group ( n=85 cases) and a DR group ( n=256 cases) based on DR diagnostic criteria. The DR group was divided into non proliferative and proliferative types according to the staging criteria in China′s DR clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines, with 142 cases and 114 cases, respectively; 190 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 in three groups, collect patient data, and detect biochemical indicators. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DR, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum sarconectin, corticostatin, DLL4, glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance; Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DR, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum sarconectin, corticostatin, DLL4, glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 in DR. Results:The levels of serum sarconectin and DLL4 in the DR group and non DR group were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); The levels of sarconectin and DLL4 in the DR group were higher than those in the non DR group, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in the non DR group (all P<0.05). The serum levels of sarconectin and DLL4 in proliferative DR patients were higher than those in non proliferative DR patients, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in non proliferative DR patients (all P<0.05). The duration of T2DM in the DR group was longer than that in the non DR group, with smoking and alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglyceride and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were higher than those in non DR group (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of T2DM, systolic blood pressure, smoking and alcohol consumption, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, myonectin, corticostatin and DLL4 were the influencing factors of DR (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis results showed that serum sarconectin, DLL4, and fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR were positively correlated (all P<0.05), while cortisol was negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and HOMA-IR (all P<0.05). The ROC analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of DR was 0.691, 0.745, 0.749, and 0.861 for sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 alone and in combination, respectively. The combined application had higher diagnostic value. Conclusions:Patients with T2DM complicated with DR have elevated levels of serum sarconectin and DLL4, while decreased levels of corticostatin, which are closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin resistance, and are influencing factors for the occurrence of DR. Combined detection of the three can improve the value of predicting DR.

Objective:To analyze the prognosis of glucose metabolism and its impacting factors at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy enrolled and delivered in the maternity clinic of Daxing Teaching Hospital of Capital Medical University from December 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 were collected. The 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was applied for diabetes screening at 6-12 weeks after delivery. According to the results of postpartum blood glucose, the patients were divided into two groups: postpartum normal blood glucose group (148 cases) and abnormal blood glucose group (44 cases). Hypothesis testing was used to compare the clinical data before, during and after the pregnancy between the two groups. Multi-factor logistic regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Results:Among the 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy, the incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose was 22.92% (44/192), including 6 cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) (13.64%), 38 cases of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (86.36%). Neck circumference, waist circumference, multiparous women and insulin use during pregnancy in postpartum abnormal blood glucose group were all significantly higher than those in postpartum normal blood glucose group [34.25(33.00, 36.00) vs 33.55 (32.00, 35.00) cm, 87.00 (82.00, 93.00) vs 84.00 (78.00, 90.00) cm, 54.55% vs 37.16%, 18.18% vs 6.76%] (all P<0.05). Neck circumference ( OR=1.315, 95% CI: 1.026-1.685), multiparous women ( OR=2.261, 95% CI: 1.057-4.836), insulin use during pregnancy ( OR=3.767, 95% CI: 1.236-11.478) were positively correlated with the occurrence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose is high at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy. Neck circumference, waist circumference, parity and insulin use during pregnancy are important impacting factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose.

Objective: To analyze the association between short term PM 2.5 exposure and high blood pressure in adolescents and its modification effect of overweight and obesity, and to provide a reference for the refined management of students physical health and the scientific prevention and controlling of air pollution. Methods: A total of 148 956 junior high school students and senior high school students who passed the annual physical examination data of middle school students in Beijing from 2017 to 2018 were selected; The inverse distance weighted interpolation method was used to get the meteorological elements and air quality of the research area; Linear mixed effect model was used to estimate the cumulative lag effect of short term PM 2.5 exposure on systolic and diastolic blood pressure within 7 days, and analyze the modification effect of overweight and obesity on the association between short term PM 2.5 exposure and high blood pressure in adolescents. Results: From September 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, the average concentration of PM 2.5 was (56.53±45.85)μg/m 3; The detection rate of overweight and obesity was 34.22%, and the detection rate of high blood pressure was 8.03%. The cumulative lag effect of PM 2.5 on systolic blood pressure in overweight and obesity group was the largest at lag07, that is, the daily average concentration of PM 2.5 increased by 10 μg/m 3 was significantly correlated with higher systolic blood pressure ( OR =1.05,95% CI =1.03-1.07); the cumulative lag effect of PM 2.5 on systolic blood pressure in non overweight and obese group was the largest at lag05, that is, the daily average concentration of PM 2.5 increased by 10 μg/m 3 was significantly correlated with higher systolic blood pressure ( OR =1.04,95% CI =1.02-1.06). Short term exposure to PM 2.5 did not affect the high diastolic blood pressure in adolescents. Overweight and obese adolescents were more susceptible to high blood pressure caused by short term PM 2.5 exposure within 3 days of cumulative lag (lag01-lag03). Conclusion The short term exposure of PM 2.5 has a significant positive correlation with adolescent blood pressure, and shows a lag effect. Overweight and obese adolescents have higher blood pressure after PM 2.5 short term exposure.
