The core aberrant behaviors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are primarily manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which are closely associated with specific neuropathological features.Virtual reality (VR) technology, leveraging its immersive, interactive, and customizable properties, demonstrates potential in ameliorating the abnormal behavioral manifestations of individuals with ADHD. This article aims to synthesize existing evidence from neurobiological mechanism research and explore the therapeutic efficacy of VR interventions in improving abnormal behavioral presentations in ADHD patients. An evidence-integrated framework posits that: (1) VR enhances inhibitory control and working memory by promoting neural plasticity remodeling within key brain regions through highly contextualized simulation tasks, thereby optimizing functional connectivity.(2) VR reduces attentional lapses and impulsive behaviors by regulating the dynamic interplay efficiency among the default mode network, executive control network, and salience network.(3) VR elevates motivational levels and cognitive flexibility by dynamically modulating dopaminergic-noradrenergic system homeostasis, synergizing with brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediated synaptic plasticity. Delving deeper into these underlying mechanisms will facilitate the optimization of multi-target VR intervention design and provide novel insights for personalized behavioral therapy in ADHD.

The decline in muscle mass and strength in the lower limbs of the elderly can result in reduced exercise capacity and an increased risk of falls and mortality.Blood flow restriction training involves applying external pressure to the proximal end of a limb using a pressure device to restrict blood flow, leading to muscle adaptability similar to that achieved with high load training but at a lower intensity.This method, compared to traditional high load resistance training, offers the advantage of being low in load yet highly efficient.This article provides a summary of the clinical applications, mechanisms of action, and benefits of blood flow restriction training for enhancing lower limb muscle strength in the elderly, serving as a valuable reference for the development of scientifically sound blood flow restriction training programs for this population.

Social impairment is one of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which seriously affects patients' daily life. Using optogenetics, functional magnetic resonance imaging and other techniques, significant progress has been made in the study of the anatomical structure of the brain, functional connectivity and neural circuits in ASD patients. This study reviews the latest findings on the neural mechanisms of social impairment in ASD. In terms of the structure of brain regions, patients with ASD have structural abnormalities in key brain regions such as the putamen, amygdala and nucleus accumbens, and these abnormalities may affect emotion regulation and reward processing functions.In terms of the functional connectivity of brain regions, functional connectivity abnormalities of the brain in patients with ASD may lead to dysfunctional social behaviors. Further analysis revealed that abnormalities in neural circuits involving the prefrontal cortex, ventral tegmental area, hippocampus, and cerebellum were closely associated with social deficits in ASD patients. Meanwhile, abnormal synaptic function and imbalance of the neurotransmitter system are also considered to be important pathological mechanisms for social deficits in ASD patients. These findings allow for a deeper understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying social deficits in ASD patients and provide a scientific basis for developing targeted interventions to improve the social function and quality of life of ASD patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Xiaonang Tiaojing decoction(XNTJD)in improving polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance(PCOS-IR)model rats based on anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)/AMH type Ⅱ receptor(AMHRⅡ)signaling pathway. MethodForty-eight adult female SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, XNTJD group(11.4 g·kg-1·d-1) and Diane-35 group(0.21 g·kg-1·d-1), PCOS-IR model was established by high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with letrozole in rats of all groups except the blank group, rats in the administration groups were given the corresponding dose of drugs by gavage for 15 days with an interval of 1 d every 4 d, normal saline of the same volume was given to the blank group and the model group. Estrous cycle was recorded daily during treatment. At the end of treatment, body weight and Lee's index were recorded, AMH, luteinizing hormone(LH), LH/follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), testosterone(T)and estradiol(E2)levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), fasting plasma glucose(FPG)was measured by glucometer, fasting insulin(FINS) level was measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA), and the insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index(QUICKI)were calculated, triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer, hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the morphological changes of the ovary, the levels of AMHRⅡ, bone morphogenetic protein-15(BMP-15)and Smad5 in ovarian tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC),Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression levels of AMHRⅡ, BMP-15 and Smad5. ResultCompared with the blank group, a large number of leukocytes were observed in the vaginal exfoliated cells of rats in the model group, mainly in diestrus, the levels of body weight, Lee's index, glucose-lipid metabolism indexes(FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG, TC), AMH and sex hormones(LH, LH/FSH, T)were significantly increased(P<0.01), and QUICKI and E2 levels were significantly decreased(P<0.01), there were more cystic bulges on the ovarian surface, more wet weight, more atretic and cystic dilated follicles in the ovarian tissues, and the thickness of granulosa cell layer was reduced without oocytes, the expression level of AMHRⅡ protein in ovarian tissues was significantly increased(P<0.01), and the expression levels of BMP-15 and Smad5 proteins were significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the exfoliated cells in the vagina of rats treated with XNTJD group showed keratinocytes from the 5th to 6th day of treatment, and a stable estrous cycle gradually appeared, body weight, Lee's index, glucose-lipid metabolism indexes(FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG, TC), AMH and sex hormones(LH, LH/FSH, T)levels were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01), QUICKI and E2 levels were significantly increased(P<0.01), ovarian surface was smoother and lighter in wet weight, oocytes and mature follicles were observed in ovarian tissues, the thickness of granulosa cell layer increased and the morphology was intact, the expression levels of BMP-15 and Smad5 proteins were significantly increased(P<0.01)and the expression level of AMHRⅡ protein was significantly decreased(P<0.01)in ovarian tissues. ConclusionXNTJD may mediate the up-regulation of BMP-15 and Smad5 in ovarian tissues of PCOS-IR rats by down-regulating AMH/AMHRⅡ, thereby improving ovarian function, sex hormones and glucose-lipid metabolism levels in PCOS-IR rats.

Objective:To study the optimal timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) for grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ acute cholecystitis.Methods:A multicenter, single blind and randomized controlled study was conducted at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Shanghai Pudong Hospital, and Shanghai Minhang District Central Hospital from October 2018 to September 2021. Patients who underwent LC after PTGBD were divided 1∶1 into the early group and the late group. LC was performed 4-6 weeks after PTGBD in the early group and 7-8 weeks after PTGBD in the late group. Gender, age, AC grade, complications after PTGBD, body mass index, complications before LC, operation time of LC, intraoperative bleeding, total treatment cost, conversion rate to open surgery and complications after LC were compared between the two groups. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) before and after LC was also compared.Results:Of 248 patients who were eligible for the study, there were 52 males and 196 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 89 years, and mean ±s.d. of (52.5 ± 20.2) years. There were 126 patients in the early group and 122 patients in the late group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, AC grade, body mass index and complications before LC between the two groups (all P>0.05). The preoperative score of SF-36 in the early group was significantly better than that in late group, and the complications of PTGBD in the late group were significantly higher than the early group (both P<0.05). The operation time and total treatment cost of the early group were significantly less than those of the late group (37.2±12.8 min vs. 48.5±19.7 min, 20 856±2 136 yuan vs. 2 2207±2 049 yuan) (both P<0.05). The intraoperative bleeding volume of LC in the early group was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 40 (40, 60) ml and the late group was [ M( Q1, Q3)] 35 (25, 40) ml. The difference was also significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the conversion rates to open surgery, complications and SF-36 scores after LC between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LC should be performed 4-6 weeks after PTGBD for grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ acute cholecystitis. Although the amount of intraoperative bleeding was higher, the operation time was shorter, the burden on patients was reduced and there was more rapid recovery.
