Objective We investigated the effects of ICAM5 in the hippocampus on the alcohol drinking preference of mice,and the potential mechanisms.Methods An alcohol two-bottle choice model was developed in 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice,which were randomly divided to two groups:water group and alcohol group.The protein expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus,amygdala,and medial prefrontal cortex was detected.An ICAM5-overexpressing adeno-associated virus was constructed and injected into the hippocampus by stereotaxic method.The expression level of ICAM5 protein in the hippocampus was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot.We then detected the alcohol preference and locomotor activity of mice with a conditioned place preference(CPP)experiment,open field test,and loss-of-righting reflex test.Western blot analysis was used to identify the neuron F-actin/G-actin ratio.Using Golgi staining,the morphology of dendritic spines was identified.Results The expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of alcohol two-bottle choice model mice in the alcohol group was considerably lower than that of the water group(P＜0.001).The specific expression of ICAM5 in the hippocampus of mice was observed by fluorescence microscopy.In the open field experiment,the staying time and moving distance of the AAV-ICAM5 group were significantly increased compared with those of the control group(P＜0.01).In the CPP experiment,the residence time of AAV-ICAM5 mice in the alcohol-paired compartment was significantly lower than that of control mice(P＜0.001).In the loss-of-righting reflex experiment,overexpression of ICAM5 significantly reduced sedation latency(P＜0.01),but significantly shortened the duration of sedation(P＜0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the ratio of F-actin/G-actin in the hippocampus was significantly increased after drinking(P＜0.01),but after ICAM5 overexpression,their F-actin/G-actin ratio was significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with AAV-mCherry+Water group,the density of dendritic spines in the hippocampal CAI region was increased(P＜0.001),but the density of dendritic spines in the AAV-ICAM5+Alcohol group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions ICAM5 modulated the expression of cytoskeleton proteins to change the structural plasticity of dendritic spines,which contributed to alcohol-drinking and locomotor behavioral changes in mice.

Objective:To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline laboratory medicine continuing education and training, and to discuss the future continuing education and training mode under new technology development and new situation.Methods:A questionnaire was administered to the trainees who participated in the 2019 and/or 2020 national continuing medical education project—Clinical Application and Evaluation of New Technologies and Methods of Laboratory Medicine—sponsored by the Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. One hundred and twenty-four questionnaires were completed for the 2019 offline training, and 503 questionnaires were completed for the 2020 online training. The rank sum test, Fisher's exact test, and chi-square test were performed for statistical analysis with the use of SPSS 26.0.Results:The participants in 2020 were significantly younger and the proportion of female participants in 2020 was significantly higher compared with those in 2019. Intermediate titles or above accounted for 66.93% (83/124) in 2019, and intermediate titles or below accounted for 88.67% (446/503) in 2020. The proportion of people from Sichuan Province was significantly higher in 2019. The proportion of trainees from primary institutions was significantly lower in 2019. In 2019, public institutions were mainly tertiary hospitals (74.31%, 81/109), and the majority of participants from private institutions were from third party testing institutions (60.00%, 9/15). In 2020, the percentage of tertiary hospitals in public institutions decreased to 60.99% (258/423), while the percentage of community medical institutions increased to 10.64% (45/423), and 75.00% (60/80) of trainees from private institutions were from tertiary and secondary medical institutions. Trainees with lower educational levels were more likely to appreciate the value of the training course, especially with higher degrees of satisfaction with improvements in theoretical levels and practical skills, and participants from primary institutions believed that the training course could effectively improve their theoretical and practical levels. The number of participants who provided suggestions on laboratory medicine continuing education and training needs in 2019 (83.75%, 67/80) was higher than that in 2020 (48.51%, 244/503). The overall pass rate of post-training assessment in 2020 was 88.52% (424/479).Conclusions:Online and offline training modes have different audience groups and training effects. Online continuing education can provide training opportunities to more primary care personnel and junior and intermediate professionals, which is conducive to improving the basic professional literacy and testing skills of laboratory personnel on the whole. At the same time, the integration of online and offline modes will promote the development of laboratory medicine continuing education.

AIM:To investigate the impact of hippocampal protein phosphatase 1 regulator subunit 17(Ppp1r17)down-regulation on drinking-related behavior in mice,and to explore the protein kinase B(PKB/AKT)/glyco-gen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)/cAMP response element binding protein(CREB)signaling pathway of Ppp1r17 in the development of alcohol dependence.METHODS:Forty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups(n=10):control group,shPpp1r17① group,shPpp1r17② group and shPpp1r17③ group.The mRNA and protein expression levels in the hippocampal tissues were evaluated after 3 weeks of AAV-shPpp1r17 injection.Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group and a shPpp1r17 group(n=10).An open-field test,conditioned place prefer-ence(CPP)test and righting reflex test were performed.Furthermore,the localization and expression of AAV-shPpp1r17 were detected after 3 weeks of AAV-shPpp1r17 injection.Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups(n=5):the empty virus+water group,the empty virus+EtOH group,the shPpp1r17+water group and the shPpp1r17+EtOH group.The EtOH group mice drank 9%alcohol continuously for 30 d.The protein expression levels of Ppp1r17,p-AKT,AKT,p-GSK-3β,GSK-3β,p-CREB and CREB were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:(1)The results of qPCR showed that Ppp1r17 was successfully suppressed by shPpp1r17.(2)The behavioral results showed that the shPpp1r17 group mice exhibited enhanced exercise ability and reduced anxiety-like emotions,and the downregulation of Ppp1r17 increased CPP scores and reduced the sensitivity of the mice to alcohol.(3)Immunofluorescence showed that AAV-shPpp1r17 was specifically expressed in the hippocampus.(4)Western blot analysis revealed that Ppp1r17 and the p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β and p-CREB/CREB ratios were significantly increased after treatment of EtOH.Howev-er,the protein expression of Ppp1r17 was significantly reduced,and the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB pathway was activated after knockdown of Ppp1r17 in the hippocampus.CONCLUSION:Ppp1r17 may suppress CREB phosphorylation through the AKT/GSK-3β/CREB pathway,thereby influencing alcohol drinking preference and locomotor behavior in mice.

Objective:To explore the speech features of female patients with anhedonic depression and their recognition of pleasure deficient symptoms.Methods:A total of 102 female depression patients who were hospitalized at Nanjing Brain Hospital from September 2020 to October 2021 were selected, including 62 anhedonic depression patients (anhedonic group) and 40 non-anhedonic depression patients (non-anhedonic group). A total of 50 female healthy controls were recruited during the same period.All participants were evaluated by the 17-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17), Snaith-Hamilton pleasure scale (SHAPS), and the temporal experience of pleasure scale (TEPS), as well as voice acquisition.SPSS 23.0 software was used for data processing.Statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA, non-parametric tests, Logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:Compared with the non-anhedonic group, the anhedonic group showed significant changes in 15 voice features(all P<0.05), including Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, formant frequencies, intensity, and energy features.Among these features, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients exhibited the highest accuracy in identifying anhedonic depression, with sensitivity of 47.5%, specificity of 91.9%, area under curve (AUC) of 0.751, 95% CI=0.686-0.866.Formant frequencies could identify female anhedonic depression, with a sensitivity of 90.0%, a specificity of 40.3%, an AUC of 0.647, and 95% CI=0.605-0.824.Energy features could identify anhedonic deficient depression, with a sensitivity of 60.0%, a specificity of 74.2%, an AUC of 0.679, and 95% CI=0.587-0.804.Intensity features could identify female anhedonic depression, with a sensitivity of 70.0%, a specificity of 58.1%, an AUC of 0.640, and 95% CI=0.554-0.769. Conclusion:Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, formant frequencies, intensity features, and energy features may have specific changes in female patients with anhedonic depression.The Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients has the highest recognition accuracy for anhedonic symptoms in female depression patients, and is expected to become an objective evaluation index for female anhedonic depression.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)/PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway during acute kidney injury in endotoxemic rats.Methods:Twenty-four SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 180-220 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) by a random number table method: control group(group C), endotoxemia group(group E), acupoint electroacupuncture+ endotoxemia group(group EE), and non-acupoint electroacupuncture+ endotoxemia group(group NE). The endotoxemia model was developed by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide 10 mg/kg. The equal volume of normal salinewas injected in group C. LPS 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in group E. In group EE, 30-min electroacupuncture was performed at bilateral Zusanli and Shenshu acupoints using disperse-dense waves with a frequency of 2/15 Hz to induce slight muscle tremor once a day starting from 5 days before developing the model, and the needle was retained until 6 h after injection. Electroacupuncture was performed at the points 0.5 cm lateral to the acupoints of Zusanli and Shenshu in group NE. The rats were anesthetized at 6 h after lipopolysaccharide injection, and blood samples from the femoral vein were obtained for determination of the serum creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations(with a biochemical analyzer) and concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid transport protein (NGAL), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1) in serum (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Then the rats were sacrificed and kidney tissues were taken for determination of histological score of kidneys (HSK, using HE staining) and expression of HO-1, PINK1, Parkin, mitochondrial fusion protein 2(Mfn2), optic atrophy protein 1(OPA1) and mitochondrial dynamic-related protein 1 (Drp1) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group C, serum concentrations of Cr, BUN, KIM-1, NGAL, IL-6 and TNF-α and HSK score of renal tissues were significantly increased, the expression of HO-1, PINK1, Parkin and Drp1 was up-regulated, and the expression of Mfn2 and OPA1 was down-regulated in E, EE and NE groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group E, serum concentrations of Cr, BUN, KIM-1, NGAL, IL-6 and TNF-α and HSK score of renal tissues were significantly decreased, and the expression of HO-1, PINK1, Parkin, Mfn2 and OPA1 was up-regulated, and Drp1 expression was down-regulated in group EE( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group NE ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which electroacupuncture alleviates acute kidney injury is associated with activation of HO-1/PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in endotoxemic rats.

Objective:To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided continuous thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with flurbiprofen axetil intravenous analgesia pump for thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 68 cases who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital between January 2021 and June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the postoperative analgesia methods, all patients were divided into the control group (36 cases) and the experimental group (32 cases). The patients in the control group received ultrasound-guided single thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with sufentanil and flurbiprofen axetil intravenous analgesia pump, and the patients in the experimental group received ultrasound-guided continuous thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with flurbiprofen axetil intravenous analgesia pump. The pressing times of intravenous analgesia pump, visual simulation score (VAS) during rest and activity, vitality status and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared at 2 d after operation.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in VAS during rest and activity and analgesia pump pressing times between the control group and the experimental group (all P > 0.05). The vitality status at postoperative day 2 was better than that at postoperative day 1 ( P < 0.05); while, the differences in the vitality status at postoperative day 1 and day 2 as well as the pressing times of analgesia pump in the experimental group were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). The VAS during rest and activity on postoperative day 2 was lower than that on postoperative day 1 among patients in the control group and experimental group (both P < 0.05). In the control group, 5 cases had nausea and headache, and 2 cases had dizziness; in the experimental group, 1 case had dizziness; the difference in the adverse reaction incidence of both groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.00, P = 0.045). Conclusions:Continuous thoracic paravertebral nerve block shows a favorable analgesic effect comparable with that of intravenous oxycodone in the analgesia after thoracoscopic lobectomy, and the former has less adverse reactions.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of melatonin on postoperative sleep quality.Methods:Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Database and China Science and Technology Journal Database were searched from inception to January 30, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of melatonin versus placebo on postoperative sleep quality.The outcomes analyzed were visual analog scale (VAS) score, sleep quality scale score, subjective sleep scale score, St.Mary′s Hospital sleep questionnaires score, sleep latency, total sleep time, number and duration of awakenings, and incidence of postoperative sleep disturbance.Statistical analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.4 software and Stata 16 software, and the trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted using the TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software. Results:Eleven RCTs involving 822 patients were finally enrolled, with 431 patients in melatonin group and 391 patients in placebo group.The results of meta-analysis showed that melatonin significantly decreased postoperative VAS and sleep quality scale scores, and increased the postoperative subjective sleep scale and St.Mary′s Hospital sleep questionnaires scores, a daily dose of melatonin 6 mg produced a better efficacy, and it also prolonged the postoperative total sleep time and decreased the incidence of postoperative sleep disorders ( P<0.05), However, it had no effect on postoperative sleep latency and the number and duration of awakenings ( P>0.05). The results of TSA showed that although the actual sample size did not reach the expected sample size, the accumulated Z value crossed the traditional boundary value and the TSA boundary value, which indicated that the results of this meta-analysis had stability and further confirmed the efficacy of melatonin in improving postoperative sleep quality. Conclusions:Melatonin can improve postoperative sleep quality and a daily dose of melatonin 6 mg exerts a better efficacy.

Objective:Construction of deep learning classification models based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data assists the clinicians to achieve better diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BD), which can improve the recognition rate of BD by identifying the critical imaging features.Methods:A total of 146 patients who met the diagnosis criteria of BD according to DSM-Ⅳ and 234 healthy control (HC) were recruited for fMRI scans. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) were used to analyze fMRI data. Based on ReHo and ALFF, the classification models were constructed by deeping neural network (DNN) and dual-channel convolution neural network (DCNN) respectively, and the best classification model was developed by comparing the accuracy and area under curve (AUC) of the two models. Based on each brain region divided by anatomical automatic labeling (AAL), the support vector machine (SVM) classification model was constructed using imaging index with a better performance, and the critical imaging features were identified by comparing the accuracy of each brain region.Results:The performances of the DCNN classification model (accuracy = 75.3%, and 72.6%, respectively, based on ReHo and ALFF) were significantly better than the DNN classification model (accuracy = 67.1%, and 65.1%, respectively). Meanwhile, the accuracy of classification model constructed using ReHo was higher than ALFF. Based on the SVM classification model, critical brain regions were identified above the accuracy of 65.0%, including the occipital lobe (middle occipital gyrus, superior occipital gyrus and lingual gyrus), hippocampus, and thalamus.Conclusion:The computational model based on DCNN using ReHo can help the clinicians to achieve better diagnosis of BD. Furthermore, occipital lobe, hippocampus and thalamus may be the critical imaging features for the auxiliary recognition of BD.
